Pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, personal care products, nanomaterials and perfluorinated pollutants: a review

TL;DR: In this article, a review of emerging micropollutants in the environment is presented, with emphasis on their occurrences, effects, environmental fates, and potential risk of exposure in water, soil or sediment.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Review of Pharmaceuticals and Endocrine-Disrupting Compounds: Sources, Effects, Removal, and Detections

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a narrative review on emerging micropollutants and examined their various documented sources, effects, as well as recent techniques for their effective removal, and recommended the need for concerted efforts to develop better techniques, especially combined advanced oxidative methods to address the shortcomings of and growing challenge to current practices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation of visible-light responsive N–F-codoped TiO2 photocatalyst by a sol–gel-solvothermal method

TL;DR: Anatase type N-F-codoped TiO 2 powder was successfully prepared by a sol-gel-solvothermal method using tetrabutyl titanate as precursor as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of combined advanced oxidation technologies for the removal of organic pollutants from water

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the application of integrated technologies such as electrohydraulic discharge with heterogeneous photocatalysts or sonophotocatalysis to remove target pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel zeolite Na-X synthesized from fly ash as a heterogeneous catalyst in biodiesel production

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel faujasite zeolite material synthesized from South African class F fly ash and denoted as FA/Na-X was ion exchanged with potassium to obtain the South African Class F fly-ash based Zeolite FA/K-X, which was used as a solid base catalyst in the production of biodiesel.
