Adsorptive removal and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants using metal oxides and their composites: A comprehensive review

TL;DR: The review would be an excellent resource for researchers who are currently focusing on metal oxide-based materials for water remediation as well as for those who are interested in adsorptive and photocatalytic applications of metal oxides and their composites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in the bio-remediation of persistent organic pollutants and its effect on environment

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the current state of research activities on the application of biodegradation/bioremediation for removing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as pesticides, PCBs, PAHs and PPCPs from wastewater is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of organic compounds by nanoscale zero-valent iron and its composites.

TL;DR: This article reviews the key advancements of different methods for the synthesis of NZVI and NZVI-based materials and discusses the interaction mechanisms, including adsorption, reduction, and active oxidation of organic pollutants by NZVI/NZVI- based composites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Degradation of hazardous organic dyes in water by nanomaterials

TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of cationic and anionic dyes was reviewed and the most commercialized and carcinogenic azo dyes, that pocess a benzidine function, needs urgent attention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistence of pesticides-based contaminants in the environment and their effective degradation using laccase-assisted biocatalytic systems.

TL;DR: It is envisioned that effective deployment of laccase-assisted biocatalytic systems for the degradation or removal of diverse pesticides and related contaminants will help to better understand the persistence and removal fate of these hazardous pollutants.

The photocatalytic degradation of atrazine on nanoparticulate TiO2 films

TL;DR: In this paper, the photocatalytic removal of atrazine from water was investigated using immobilised TiO2 films in a stirred tank reactor designed to maximise mass transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

DDT degradation efficiency and ecotoxicological effects of two types of nano-sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) in water and soil.

TL;DR: Both types of nZVI effectively degraded DDT in water, but showed lower degradation of agedDDT in soil, and both had negative impact on the tested organisms, with nZ VI-T giving least adverse effects.

Dicofol application resulted in high DDTs residue in cotton fields from northern Jiangsu province, China.

TL;DR: Investigation on the DDT residues in cotton fields from northern Jiangsu province, China showed that DDTs in cotton soil were much higher than other mode of land use and implications for reasons why there was no apparent decrease of DDT level in China were provided.
