UV and ozone disinfection technologies have made significant strides in recent years. These methods use powerful light or gas to kill harmful microorganisms in air, water, and on surfaces. UV light at specific wavelengths can disrupt the DNA of pathogens, making them unable to reproduce or cause infections. New types of UV light show promise […]

Fenton reaction systems are powerful tools in chemistry. They use iron and hydrogen peroxide to create highly reactive molecules. These molecules can break down tough pollutants in water and soil. The Fenton reaction works best at a pH of about 3, which is lower than most natural soil conditions. This means it often needs some […]

Quantum Dot-Based Photocatalysts for Water Purification: Revolutionizing Clean Water Technology   Introduction   Water purification has emerged as a paramount global concern due to the escalating scarcity of potable water and increasing contamination from industrial and agricultural practices. Conventional purification methods, while effective, often entail high costs, energy consumption, and inefficiency in dealing with a […]

Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Processes (EAOPs) have gained a lot of attention in recent years for their potential applications in water treatment and pollution control. These processes use electricity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can degrade organic pollutants in water. In this article, we will discuss the principles, mechanisms, and applications of EAOPs, as […]
