Chemical compounds containing nitro group (nitro-products) are a one of toxic by-products,
that can be formed during wastewater treatment processes. In case of presence of nitrite or …

Abstract Sulfate radical (SO 4•−)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have become
promising alternatives in environmental remediation due to the higher redox potential (2.6 …

Previous works conducted in our laboratory, reveled that Bacillus aryabhattai DC100
produce ligninolytic enzymes such as laccases and/or peroxidases, opening new …

Persulfate (PS) has attracted great attention as an alternative to H 2 O 2 for advanced
oxidation processes in recent years. Among various activation techniques, ultrasound (US) …

Abstract Periodate (IO 4-) activation in environmental remediation has aroused tremendous
attention, due to its high oxidative potential for the degradation of contaminants and fair …

Substances such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, synthetic and natural hormones,
plasticizers, and industrial chemicals enter the environment daily. Many of them are a matter …

Water pollution by pharmaceutically active compounds is an emerging issue. Toxicological
studies reveal that pharmaceuticals are indeed toxic for living organisms. The lack of …

Heterogeneous photocatalysis has been extensively investigated for the degradation of
organic pollutants from wastewater. The remarkable advantages of the heterogeneous …

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method using
citric acid as a carbon source. Layered mesoporous titanium dioxide (LM-TiO 2) was …

Owing to the marked stability and resistance to biodegradation of synthetic dyes, their
removal from industrial wastewater is a very difficult process. Herein, we investigated the …
