background: mature landfill leachate is a complicated mixture which is resistant to biological treatment processes. the treatment of mature landfill leachate by struvite precipitation and fenton oxidation was the main objective of the current research. methods: struvite with the phosphate/ammonia/magnesium molar ratio of 1/1/1.05 was considered during all experiments. five initial phs of 3, 4, ...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have received a lot of attention over the years as advanced physico-chemical polishing wastewater treatments to remove biorefractory pollutants. Additionally, many studies report their excellent degradation and mineralization performance stand-alone technologies too, demonstrating versatility these processes; however, there is lack suitable methods compare (i...

Alternative conditioning of aluminium-based drinking water treatment sludge using Fenton reagent (Fe2+/H2O2) was examined in this study. Focuses were placed on effectiveness and factors to affect such novel application of Fenton process. Experiments have demonstrated that considerable improvement of alum sludge dewaterability evaluated by capillary suction time (CST) can be obtained at the rela...

Bi25FeO40 microtetrahedra, microcubes and microspheres were successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process and by adding different additive agents. The formation mechanism of Bi25FeO40 microcrystals was proposed; the additive agents had important influences on the morphology and facet exposure of the products. The catalytic activity of these materials was evaluated by the degradation...

The influence of low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs), such as malonic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and oxalic acid, on the Fenton degradation of organic pollutants was examined under visible irradiation (lambda > 450 nm). The Fenton degradation of malachite green in the dark was completely blocked in the presence of LMWOAs. It was found that either visible light irradiation or...

The synergistic effect of ultrasound, the heterogeneous Fenton reaction and photocatalysis was studied using a nickel foam (NF)-supporting TiO₂ system and rhodamine B (RhB) as a target. The NF-supporting TiO₂ system was prepared by depositing TiO₂ on the skeleton of NF repeatedly and then calcining it. To optimize the conditions and parameters, the catalytic activity was tested in four systems ...

Melanoma is extremely resistant to chemotherapy and the death rate is increasing hastily worldwide. Extracellular matrix promotes the migration and invasion of tumor cells through the production of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9. Evidence has shown that natural dietary antioxidants are capable of inhibiting cancer cell growth. Our recent studies showed that hinokitiol, a natural bioact...
