Contamination of aquatic resources with antibiotics poses a threat to the environment and human health, leading increase antimicrobial resistance, which is predicted be cause death by 2050. Conventional water treatment systems are often ineffective in removing implementation more efficient methods, such as photocatalysis, an important step forward mitigate this problem. Nanomaterials have shown efficiency photocatalysts degradation organic pollutants, due their high surface area/volume ratio. Among these nanomaterials silver nanoparticles, easy prepare, low cost, good performance photocatalysis. In study, nanospheres (AgNSps) nanoplates (AgNPls) were prepared for contaminated antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP), under simulated sunlight irradiation. Results revealed that all AgNPs photodegradation CIP, PBS river matrix, achieved higher than 77 % 5 min Moreover, rate constant was enhanced presence catalyst, from 0.178 ± 0.007 min−1 0.47 0.05 0.51 0.09 min−1, AgNSps AgNPls, respectively, water. Thus, work demonstrates promising solar-driven removal water, enabling waters.

This study aims to assess the electrochemical generation of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals (⁎OH) using carbon cathodes synthesized from three different lignocellulosic residues, Phragmites Australis (PA), Cladium Mariscus (CM) Typha Domingensis (TD). These vegetal species are commonly used in natural wetlands phytoremediation processes can accumulate recalcitrant pollutants within these treatment processes, generating a waste that should be properly managed. To convert residues into valuable materials, they underwent hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) followed by either chemical activation with KOH or pyrolysis at 1000 ºC. The best results were obtained chemically activated yielding maximum H2O2 concentration 313 mg L-1 cathode produced PA. specific surface area, oxygenated functional groups presence structural defects carbonous structures, key parameters related good performance as catalysts towards 2e- Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR). It was also demonstrated, comparison previous studies, heavy metals structure residue enhanced decomposition ⁎OH. However, degradation model organic contaminant methylene blue (MB), it shown ⁎OH not main contributors degradation, direct adsorption on materials played most significant role. Therefore, outstanding capacity for electrogeneration confirmed, suggesting their potential future application advanced oxidation water decontamination.

Abstract A number of initiatives attempt to delimit the safe operating space (SOS) for human pressures on Earth system, including Planetary Boundaries framework. In some cases, data describing regional status are spatially aggregated provide a global assessment. Several aggregation approaches can be observed, and chosen approach may impact conclusions. This study systematically reviews aggregating environmental boundaries their state at level uses case compare them, aiming highlight assumptions implications show how inconsistent affect accuracy comparability boundary states. comprehensive literature review, 25 studies dealing with spatial occupation SOS 43 associated records were identified categorized according five types adjustments that apply across approaches. These further classified as high- low-risk based value judgments regarding precautionary levels accepted transgressions. Notably, key publications multiple use different boundaries, potentially introducing biases. The application these revealed choice influence resulting substantially, impacting conclusions whether or not is exceeded. To mitigate biases inconsistencies, future estimates should transparently communicate underlying approach, address potential inconsistencies advance our understanding propagation mechanisms.

This preliminary study investigates potential a hazardous industrial jarosite waste to adsorb As(V) and Cr(III) from contaminated waters. results showed that this mining effectively adsorbed both Cr(III), demonstrating its as low-cost sustainable solution for remediation along with use also contaminates. adsorption process was optimized, effects various parameters on capacity were investigated. findings suggest toxic residues in porous concrete could provide promising approach removal heavy metals polluted sources, contributing development more environmentally friendly treatment technologies. A maximum 90.6% 96.3% achieved, it verified initially contained about 0.44% As, which later leached during decomposition; again, able re-adsorb Cr(III).
