Efficient oxidative degradation of organic pollutants in real industrial effluents using a green-synthesized magnetite supported on biochar catalyst.

This study investigated the degradation of tetracycline (TCN) antibiotic catalytic activation of periodate (PI, IO ) using a novel composite catalyst composed of green-synthesized magnetite nanoparticles supported on water lettuce-derived biochar (MWLB). Characterization results revealed that the magnetic biochar possessed a porous structure, abundant surface functional groups, and high carbon and iron contents. Compared to conventional oxidants such as persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, and peroxymonosulfate, the PI-activated system demonstrated superior degradation efficiency.

Comparison of ultrasound-guided superior trunk block clavipectoral fascial plane block for clavicular surgery: a double-blind, randomized controlled trial.

Background: This study compared the quality and duration of analgesia between the superior trunk (ST) and the clavipectoral fascial plane (CFP) blocks in conjunction with a selective supraclavicular nerve (SCN) block for clavicular surgeries.

Methods: Fifty patients undergoing mid-third clavicular procedures were randomly assigned to the ST group (received an SCN block followed by blockage of the ST of the brachial plexus) and the CFP group (received an SCN block followed by the CFP block). The primary outcome was the time until the first rescue analgesia.

Green approach for fabricating hybrids of food waste-derived biochar/zinc oxide for effective degradation of bromothymol blue dye in a photocatalysis/persulfate activation system.

This study presents novel composites of biochar (BC) derived from spinach stalks and zinc oxide (ZnO) synthesized from water hyacinth to be used for the first time in a hybrid system for activating persulfate (PS) with photocatalysis for the degradation of bromothymol blue (BTB) dye. The BC/ZnO composites were characterized using innovative techniques. BC/ZnO (2:1) showed the highest photocatalytic performance and BC/ZnO (2:1)@(PS + light) system attained BTB degradation efficiency of 89.

Effective degradation of synthetic micropollutants and real textile wastewater via a visible light-activated persulfate system using novel spinach leaf-derived biochar.

A novel biochar (BC), derived from spinach leaves, was utilized as an activator for persulfate (PS) in the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under visible light conditions. Thorough analyses were conducted to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the biochar. The (BC + light)/PS system exhibited superior MB degradation efficiency at 83.

Effective degradation of tetracycline and real pharmaceutical wastewater using novel nanocomposites of biosynthesized ZnO and carbonized toner powder.

In this study, novel nanohybrids of biosynthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) and magnetite-nanocarbon (FeO-NC) obtained from the carbonization of toner powder waste were fabricated and investigated for persulfate (PS) activation for the efficient degradation of tetracycline (TCN). The chemical and physical properties of the synthesized catalysts were analyzed using advanced techniques. ZnO/FeO-NC nanohybrid with mass ratio 1:2, respectively in the presence of PS showed the highest TCN removal efficiency compared to the individual components (ZnO and FeO-NC) and other nanohybrids with mass ratios of 1:1 and 2:1.
