Tin porphyrin immobilization significantly enhances visible-light-photosensitized degradation of Microcystins: Mechanistic implications

Ha Young Yoo, +15 more
- 15 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that tin porphyrin loading on a silica substrate (SnP/silica) markedly accelerates the degradation of Microcystins (MCs) under visible light irradiation, despite a reduction of photosensitized singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient Reduction of Selenite to Elemental Selenium by Liquid-Phase Catalytic Hydrogenation Using a Highly Stable Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube-Supported Pt Catalyst Coated by N-Doped Carbon.

Yuhan Sun, +5 more
- 16 Jun 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a stable Pt/CNT coated with N-doped carbon was designed to reduce selenite (Se(IV)) in water to elemental selenium by liquid-phase catalytic hydrogenation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased fermentation activity and persistent methanogenesis in a model aquifer system following source removal of an ethanol blend release.

Jie Ma, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: Overall, this study reflects the complex plume dynamics following source removal, and suggests that monitoring for increases in the concentration of ethanol metabolites that impact groundwater quality should be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon nanomaterials differentially impact mineralization kinetics of phenanthrene and indigenous microbial communities in a natural soil

Haiyun Zhang, +8 more
- 01 Jul 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) on the mineralization process by more complex and environmentally-relevant microbial communities, and they found that CNMs exerted a sorption and level-dependent suppression (7.4-47.2%) on the total phenanthrene mineralization fractions at 120

Guidelines to Determine Site-Specific Parameters for Modeling the Fate and Transport of Monoaromatic Hydrocarbons in Groundwater

Scott Scheidel, +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate hydraulic conductivity, hydraulic head, gradient, and groundwater velocity for various aquifer matrix materials, including bulk density, total porosity, and effective porosity.
