Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidized template-synthesized mesoporous carbon with pH-dependent adsorption activity: A promising adsorbent for removal of hydrophilic ionic liquid
Ling Zhang,Cao Wugang,Pedro J. J. Alvarez,Xiaolei Qu,Heyun Fu,Shourong Zheng,Zhaoyi Xu,Dongqiang Zhu +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an ordered mesoporous carbon CMK-3 (OMC) was prepared and modified by oxidation with nitric acid, and the results showed that oxidized OMC had a substantially higher oxygen content than oxidized AC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Succession of microbial functional communities in response to a pilot-scale ethanol-blended fuel release throughout the plume life cycle.
TL;DR: Observed successions of functional structure reflected adaptive responses that were conducive to biodegradation of ethanol-blend releases, and most genes returned to pre-release abundance levels, but the final functional structure significantly differed from pre- release conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of aqueous solutions of 1,4-dioxane by ozonation and catalytic ozonation with copper oxide (CuO).
Gidiane Scaratti,Alex Basso,Richard Landers,Pedro J. J. Alvarez,Gianluca Li Puma,Regina de Fátima Peralta Muniz Moreira +5 more
TL;DR: Treatment for the removal of 1,4-dioxane by ozone and by catalytic ozonation using CuO as the catalyst showed weak copper leaching and high catalytic activity for five recycling cycles, while the toxicity of the water remained the same (low toxicity) after catalyticozonation while it increased after treatment with oz onation alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photolysis of graphene oxide in the presence of nitrate: implications for graphene oxide integrity in water and wastewater treatment
Lin Duan,Tong Zhang,Weihua Song,Chuanjia Jiang,Yan Hou,Weilu Zhao,Wei Chen,Pedro J. J. Alvarez +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction pathways and products of a GO suspension under UV irradiation in the presence of nitrate, a common anion in water and wastewater treatment processes, were examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silver nanoparticles temporarily retard NO2− production without significantly affecting N2O release by Nitrosomonas europaea
TL;DR: The results suggest that AgNP release to sewage treatment plants and land application of AgNP‐containing biosolids should be minimized because of their potential temporary stimulation of N2O release and interference with nitrification.
