Article Abstract
Design and fabrication of core-shell nanomaterials with excellent properties such as multifunctionality, tunability, and stability for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants from wastewater is highly valued. In this work, magnetic MnO@NiFe@DE nanocomposites with double-core@shell structures were obtained via a two-step hydrothermal method for efficiently removing tetracycline, anionic and cationic dyes through the synergistic effect of oxidation and adsorption. The novel nanomaterial displayed superior removal of methyl orange, methylene blue, and tetracycline in low pH solutions with 100%, 100%, and 83%, respectively. The effects of solution pH, adsorption time, and contaminant concentration on the performance of the nanocomposite were also investigated, and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model well described the data. Physical adsorption including electrostatic adsorption, anion exchange, and hydrogen bonding are the predominant mechanisms for contaminant removal. The oxidation mechanism is mainly hydroxyl radical action. Through the use of permanent magnets, the recovery process of the adsorbent and the adsorbed dyes and antibiotics is energetically and economically sustainable. This as-synthesized nanocomposite as multifunction material has a high removal rate, low cost, and easy separation, and the applicability in treating the solutions with low pH, which is promised to be an efficient organic wastewater remover in practical applications.

Oily wastewater, such as from oil spills, chemical leaks, and organic pollutants, has become a serious environmental pollution problem. Superhydrophobic cotton fabric has attracted extensive research interest as an ideal material for handling oily wastewater, but this solution is difficult to balance efficient oil-water separation and removal of organic pollutants in complex oily wastewater. Therefore, the combination of superwetting and photocatalysis is expected to provide an efficient and simple solution.

Selective removal of tetracycline (TC) from antibiotic-contaminated wastewater represents one of the most effective strategies for promoting environmentally sustainable ecosystems, given the increasing persistence of tetracycline effluents from wastewater treatment processes. Unlike conventional strategies aimed at developing adsorbents with high adsorption capacities for the removal of TC from aqueous solutions, there is a growing interest in designing and creating environmentally friendly, cost-effective adsorbents made from readily available waste materials. Hence, an environmental-friendly adsorbent prepared from newspaper waste as source of cellulose and covering provided cellulose with Fe and Mn cluster nanostructures (FeMn NCs/ waste-derived cellulose) through a series of universally applicable methods.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an important chronic, asthma-associated pathogen that is increasingly antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria have highly reduced genomes and lack a cell wall and numerous other antibiotic targets. They form biofilm towers after prolonged growth both axenically and on tissue culture cells.

Fenton oxidation technology utilizing hydrogen peroxide is recognized as an effective method for producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) to facilitate the degradation of antibiotics. However, the requirement for strongly acidic conditions during this process significantly restricts its broader applicability. In this study, we synthesized black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets by exposing the {010} crystal planes and then constructed a 0D/2D BP/BiMoO (PBMO) heterojunction to function as a Fenton catalyst.

Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) commonly coexist with contaminants such as heavy metals and antibiotics in aquatic environments, potentially inducing complex joint toxicity. However, conventional approaches for MNP-pollutant combined toxicity assessment are typically challenged by inefficiencies, high costs, and labor-intensive procedures. In this study, a high-throughput platform using microplate-based inhibition assays with a luminescent bacterium (Vibrio qinghaiensis sp.
