TL;DR: Results show that aqueous solution chemistry is important to tetracycline adsorption on carbon nanotubes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review several common thermal treatment technologies for hydrocarbon-contaminated soils, assess their potential environmental impacts, and propose frameworks for sustainable and low-impact deployment based on a holistic consideration of energy and water requirements, ecosystem ecology, and soil science.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of the transport of ethanol and mono-aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) in the subsurface following a gasohol spill is presented.

TL;DR: The kinetic comparison of SnP/silica and TiO(2) photocatalyst in real wastewater effluents showed that photosensitized singlet oxygenation of pharmaceuticals was still efficiently achieved in the presence of background organic matters, while significant interference was observed for photocatalyzed oxidation involving non-selective OH radical.

TL;DR: Overall, although released Ag(+) is known to be the critical effector of the antimicrobial activity of AgNPs, the nanoparticles apparently deliveredAg(+) to bacteria more effectively and exerted more pronounced microbial population shifts that would hinder some wastewater treatment processes.
