Arsenic removal from water/wastewater using adsorbents—A critical review

Application of low-cost adsorbents for dye removal – A review

Adsorption of methylene blue on low-cost adsorbents: A review

In the past decade, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have attracted more and more attention for their potential biomedical applications. With their tailored mesoporous structure and high surface area, MSNs as drug delivery systems (DDSs) show significant advantages over traditional drug nanocarriers. In this review, we overview the recent progress in the synthesis of MSNs for drug delivery applications. First, we provide an overview of synthesis strategies for fabricating ordered MSNs and hollow/rattle-type MSNs. Then, the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility and biotranslocation of MSNs are discussed in relation to their chemophysical properties including particle size, surface properties, shape, and structure. The review also highlights the significant achievements in drug delivery using mesoporous silica nanoparticles and their multifunctional counterparts as drug carriers. In particular, the biological barriers for nano-based targeted cancer therapy and MSN-based targeting strategies are discussed. We conclude with our personal perspectives on the directions in which future work in this field might be focused.

Water stability and adsorption in metal-organic frameworks.

Catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs: benzene and toluene) was studied over manganese oxide catalysts (Mn3O4, Mn2O3 and MnO2) and over the promoted manganese oxide catalysts with alkaline metal and alkaline earth metal. Their properties and performance were characterized by using the Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The sequence of catalytic activity was as follows: Mn3O4 > Mn2O3 > MnO2, which was correlated with the oxygen mobility on the catalyst. Each addition of potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) to Mn3O4 catalyst enhanced the catalytic activity of Mn3O4 catalyst. Accordingly, K, Ca and Mg seemed to act as promoters, and the promoting effect might be ascribed to the defect-oxide or a hydroxyl-like group. A mutual inhibitory effect was observed between benzene and toluene in the binary mixture. In addition, the order of catalytic activity with respect to VOC molecules for single compound is benzene > toluene, and the binary mixture showed the opposite order of toluene > benzene.
