TL;DR: It is shown that arsenate can be readily reduced to arsenite on cell surfaces of common bacteria or in aqueous dissolved EPS extracted from different microorganisms in the absence of exogenous electron donors, and that EPS act as both reducing agent and permeability barrier for access to reduced biomolecules in bacterial reduction of arsenate.

TL;DR: This is the first study to show that DBC has significantly different electron transfer properties from humic substances and thus likely behaviors differently in many geochemical and environmental aspects.

TL;DR: The findings in the present study highlight that liquid catalytic reduction using Pd/CNT@CN as the catalyst is a highly stable and effective method to remove Cr(VI) in water.

TL;DR: In this article, a carbon-based and carbon-doped carbon composite (CoCNx@SBA-15) was used for catalytic peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the correlation of individual PAHs concentrations (CPAHs) in Taihu Lake sediments reported in the past twenty years with their annual emissions (EPAHs).
