TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrated that the UV/sulfite process is very promising for alkaline Cr(VI) remediation, including the reduction to Cr(III) and simultaneous Cr( III) precipitation.

TL;DR: A one-step facile synthesis strategy on polyaniline composites based on aniline adsorption and polymerization on pores of millimeter-scale polystyrene balls (PANI@PS) is executed and a novel strategy to regenerate the exhausted PANI@PS was efficiently executed based on the electrochemical redox reversibility of PANI.

TL;DR: A novel method to immobilize hydrous zirconium oxide nanoparticle within quaternary-aminated wheat straw and obtained an inexpensive, eco-friendly nanocomposite Ws-N-Zr, which has a great potential in efficient removal of phosphate in contaminated waters.

TL;DR: A bifunctional nanocomposite HFO@PS-Cl is fabricated for highly efficient removal of As(III), with active chlorine covalently binding spherical polystyrene host for in situ oxidation of As (III) to As(V), and Fe(III) hydroxide (HFO) nanoparticles (NPs) embedded inside for specific As (V) removal.

TL;DR: Results showed that the residual Cr(III) mostly located in two size ranges, i.e. the 13-100nm fraction and the <4nm fraction, while polyoxyethylene ether was abundantly present, it was responsible for the complexation of Cr( III) in neither fraction.
