Endocrine disrupting chemicals like triclosan (TCS) have been thought to be an emergent environmental pollutant. The ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM) is able to interrelate with TCS and hamper its phototransformation. However, how the components in DOM can inhibit the photodegradation of DOM/TCS complex is largely unknown. Herein, we discovered that TCS photodegradation with biochar-derived […]

Mn-Nitrogen-sulfur co-doped modified biochar (Mn-NSCX) is prepared by high-temperature pyrolysis and hydrothermal method, and its properties are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A metal-non-technical co-doping system was constructed and first used for PMS activation towards ciprofloxacin degradation. The results show that doping of Mn, N and […]

Modification serves as an excellent approach to enhancing the adsorption performance of biochar for tetracycline. Selective modification further allows the attainment of biochar materials that are not only more efficient but also cost-effective. However, the key structural factors influencing the adsorption of tetracycline by biochar remain unclear at present, hindering the effective guidance for modification […]
