This study demonstrated that peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activated by Fe(II)/citric acid (CA) could effectively degrade trichloroethylene (TCE) in the presence of Tween-80 (TW-80) or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Significant TCE removal of 91.6% (90.1%) with 1.3 g L TW-80 (2.3 g L SDS) were achieved at the PMS/Fe(II)/CA/TCE molar ratio of 4/4/4/1 (20/20/20/1). TCE degradation could be greatly elevated by Fe(II) and CA addition, while the existence of surfactants restrained TCE removal and the inhibitory effect increased with the higher surfactant concentration. The tests of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and reactive radicals scavenging experiments proved that sulfate radical (SO•), hydroxyl radical (HO•), and superoxide radical (O•) were responsible for TCE degradation and SO• acted as the major one. The influences of initial solution pH and inorganic anions k(Cl and HCO) on TCE removal were also investigated. Eventually, TCE removal in actual groundwater tests with surfactants confirmed that the PMS/Fe(II)/CA process has a huge potential of practical application in remediating the groundwater contaminated by TCE after the pretreatment by solubilization using surfactants.

Background: Moisturizing is a widely recommended and accessible approach to scar management, yet objective evidence supporting the efficacy of commonly used products remains limited. Research suggests that moisturizers may reduce hypertrophic scar activity by normalising transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and enhancing skin hydration.
Aim: This study aimed to provide insights into the effect of generic moisturizers on TEWL and hydration in a scar model, helping clinicians make informed recommendations for scar treatment.

This study aims to investigate the effects of salt treatment and steam activation on chars derived from biomass wastes (manure, food, and kenaf) and spent tires. Batch sorption experiments were used to evaluate the absorption performance of these chars for benzene, phenol, trichloroethylene (TCE), and arsenate. Steam activation of biochars at 900°C increased their specific surface area, enhancing the sorption of all contaminants.

Sulfur doping into the crystalline lattice of zero-valent iron (ZVI) enhances its electronic properties and local structure, improving its efficacy for transforming environmental contaminants. This study demonstrates a novel high-energy ball milling approach to initiate mechanochemical reactions for precise sulfur doping into the Fe lattice, addressing the hazards posed by hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and trichloroethylene (TCE), two priority pollutants known to threaten public health and ecosystems. Mechanochemically sulfidized ZVI (SZVI, 0.

The microenvironment of atherosclerotic plaques features abundant cholesterol crystals (CCs), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages, leading to the progression and mortality of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Targeted removal of CCs and scavenging of ROS are crucial for treatment of ASCVD. In this study, an intelligent nanoformulation consisting of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), cysteine (Cys), ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and VHPK (Valine-Histidine-Proline-Lysine)-Lipo, was designed to precisely target and remodel the inflammatory microenvironment of atherosclerotic plaques.

Nano-zero-valent iron (nZVI) is commonly used as a reactive material for trichloro-ethylene (TCE) remediation in groundwater systems, and the long-term removal capacity serves as a critical indicator for evaluating the material efficacy. In this study, a novel sustained-release iron-carbon composite (BC@nZVI-βCD) was synthesized by the integration of biochar (BC) matrix and β-cyclodextrin (βCD) encapsulation, and the materials before and after modification were analyzed by various characterization methods. Subsequently, the kinetics of TCE removal by different materials were investigated, and the sustained-release properties of BC@nZVI-βCD were explored by batch and column experiments.
