Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater and Associated Treatment Technologies

Chitosan/metal organic frameworks for environmental, energy, and bio-medical applications: a review

“…Photocatalysis is a highly utilized advanced oxidation process for wastewater treatment. 82,84,148 Photocatalysis attained research importance due to its high efficiency, environmental friendliness, no formation of by-products and complete mineralization of pollutants. 73 Very few researchers synthesized CS/ MOF-based photocatalysts for environmental remediation.…”

“…Adsorption is the most used wastewater remediation tool for treating the effluents seen in wastewater. [80][81][82] The adsorption is highly preferred due to its easiness in operation, selectivity, cost-efficiency, and flexibility. 83 However, adsorption poses several problems connected to the appropriate disposal and regeneration of CS/MOFs.…”

Fabrication of Efficient Na, B, and O Codoped g-C3N4/Polypyrrole-Carbon Black 3D Beads for Expeditious Degradation of Tetracycline via Percarbonate Activation

“…The excessive consumption of antibiotics and their disposal has contributed significantly to water pollution and evolved as a critical environmental concern for human health and social progress. − Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are considered the most efficient remediation strategies for wastewater remediation containing organic pollutants due to their ability to produce highly reactive oxygen species. − Compared to oxidants like H 2 O 2 , persulfate, and peroxymonosulfate, sodium percarbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ·1.5 H 2 O 2 ), also called solid hydrogen peroxide, is an advanced oxidant for wastewater remediation. − Sodium percarbonate is a safe green peroxide with greater resistance to explosion, higher stability, and safety . The advantages of percarbonate over H 2 O 2 include greater water solubility and phenomenal thermal stability .…”
