For the water remediation techniques based on adsorption, the long-standing contradictories between selectivity and multiple adsorbability, as well as between affinity and recyclability, have put it on weak defense amid more and more severe environment crisis. Here, a pollutant-targeting hydrogel scavenger is reported for water remediation with both high selectivity and multiple adsorbability f...

T paper investigates the impact of e-waste regulation on new product introduction in a stylized model of the electronics industry. Manufacturers choose the development time and expenditure for each new version of a durable product, which together determine its quality. Consumers purchase the new product and dispose of the last-generation product, which becomes e-waste. The price of a new produc...

By the end of 2015, approximately 6300 million tons (Mt) plastic waste had been generated globally, but less than 10% plastics was recycled. Since different types have various degrees recyclability, consumer information about product recyclability is paramount in order to increase levels Against this context, objective work define a credit system amount recyclable plastics. The assigns each and...

Even if water is the natural environment for bioorganic reactions, its use in organic chemistry is often severely limited by the high insolubility of the organic derivatives. In this review, we introduce some examples of the use of water to perform organoselenium chemistry. We mainly discuss the advantages of this medium when the recyclability is demonstrated and when the water can control the ...

An "inorganic micelle" structure that has a hydrophilic cavity and hydrophobic surface has been synthesized. The inorganic micelles possess large surface area and controllable hydrophobic/hydrophilic interface. It shows high catalytic efficiency and great recyclability in the bromination of alcohols. This work suggests that inorganic micelles may be suitable for selective organic syntheses as w...

For adsorbents used in water remediation, the long-standing contradictions between selectivity and multiple adsorbability, and affinity and recyclability, have led to difficulties in applications towards environmental crises. In article number 1500289, Q. Yuan and co-workers create a versatile scavenger that cleverly avoids such contradictions by integrating the advantages of multiple functiona...
