Abstract
Antibiotics discharge has been a critical issue as the abuse in clinical disease treatment and aquaculture industry. Advanced oxidation process (AOPs) is regarded as a promising approach to degrade organic pollutants from wastewater, however, the catalysts for AOPs always present low activities, and uncontrollable porosities, thus hindering their further wider applications. In this work, an aliovalent-substitution strategy is employed in metal-organic framework (MOF) precursors assembly, aiming to introduce Co(II/III) into Ce-O clusters which could modify the structure of the clusters, then change the crystallization, enlarge the surface area, and regulate the morphology. The introduction of Co(II/III) also enlarges the pore size for mass transfer and enriches the active sites for the production of sulfate radicals (SO4• - ) in MOF-derived catalysts, leading to excellent performance in antibiotics removal. Significantly, the CeO2 •Co3 O4 nanoflowers could efficiently enhance the generation of sulfate radical SO4• - and promote the norfloxacin removal efficiency to 99% within 20 min. The CeO2 •Co3 O4 nanoflowers also present remarkable universality toward various antibiotics and organic pollutants. The aliovalent-substitution strategy is anticipated to find wide use in the exploration of high-performance MOF-derived catalysts for various applications.

Ce-based heterogeneous catalysts by partial thermal decomposition of Ce-MOFs in activation of peroxymonosulfate for the removal of organic pollutants under visible light. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 280:130637. [PMID: 33932910 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.130637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) derivatives have drawn considerable attention for applications in various fields. In this work, spindle-shaped Ce-TCPPs were assembled by a rapid microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. After thermal treatment at low temperature under a N2 atmosphere, the Ce-TCPPs were partially pyrolyzed and converted to a novel CeO2/N-doped carbon/Ce-TCPP nanocomposite. Compared to completely decomposed materials, these partially decomposed heterogeneous catalysts exhibited significantly higher photocatalytic activation ability toward PMS for the removal of organic pollutants (e.g., rhodamine B, methylene blue, methyl orange, tetracycline and oxytetracycline). For the optimized sample thermal treated at 450 °C, a 100 mL RhB solution (10 mg/L) can be removed within 20 min with the assistance of PMS under visible light. The significantly enhanced activity can be attributed to the effective spatial separation of photogenerated electrons and holes in the formed Z-scheme CeO2/N-doped carbon/Ce-TCPP system. This work may provide useful guidance for the design and fabrication of MOF-derived photocatalytic systems for environmental remediation.

Cu 2O nanoparticles anchored on carbon for the efficient removal of propofol from operating room wastewater via peroxymonosulfate activation: efficiency, mechanism, and pathway. RSC Adv 2021; 11:20983-20991.

Abstract
Anesthetic drug wastage has increasingly become the main resource of operating room sewage, which poses a great risk to the safety of humans and other organisms. Propofol is the most widely used anesthetic drug in the world, and also occupies the largest proportion of the total anesthetic wastage in the operating room. In this work, a 2D Cu2O anchored carbon catalyst (Cu2O@NC) was prepared by the assembly-pyrolysis process and successfully applied to peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. We took propofol as a typical example and investigated the removal activity through heterostructure-enhanced advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Through the degradation process, propofol can be removed from 20 ppm to ultralow levels within 5 min using the PMS/Cu2O@NC system. The degradation pathway of propofol was deduced through quantum chemical calculation and LC/GC-MS results. The final products were verified as CO2 and H2O. Moreover, sulfate radicals (SO4˙-) proved to be the dominant reactive oxidation species by radical scavenger experiments and ESR results. In addition, it has great universality for various pharmaceuticals such as tetracycline (TC), amoxicillin (AMX), cephalexin (CPX), and norfloxacin (NFX). Our work provided the possibility to treat operation room sewage in a rapid, high-efficiency, and feasible way.

Abstract
Food safety has attracted attention worldwide, and how to detect various kinds of hazardous substances in an efficient way has always been a focus. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid porous materials formed by organic ligand and metal ions. Nanoscale MOFs (NMOFs) exhibit great potential in serving as fluorescence sensors for food safety due to their superior properties including high accuracy, great stability, fast response, etc. In this review, we focus on the recent development of NMOFs sensing for food safety. Several typical methods of NMOFs synthesis are presented. NMOFs-based fluorescence sensors for contaminants and adulterants, such as antibiotics, food additives, ions and mycotoxin etc. are summarized, and the sensing mechanisms are also presented. We explore these challenges in detail and provide suggestions about how they may be surmounted. This review could help the exploration of NMOFs sensors in food related work.

Abstract
Adsorption and photocatalysis are promising strategies to remove pollutants of dyes and antibiotics from wastewater. In this study, we demonstrate a rapid microwave-assisted hydrothermal route for the assembly of 2D copper-porphyrin Metal-Organic Frameworks (Cu-TCPP MOFs) within 1 h. The resulting 2D Cu-TCPP nanosheets with excellent crystallinity and a large surface area (342.72 m2/g) exhibited outstanding adsorption performance for typical dyes with adsorption capacities of about 185 mg/g for rhodamine B, 625 mg/g for methylene blue, and 290 mg/g for Congo red, respectively, as well as for representative antibiotics with adsorption capacities of about 130 mg/g for oxytocin, 150 mg/g for tetracycline, and 50 mg/g for norfloxacin, respectively. Meanwhile, the as-prepared 2D Cu-TCPP showed good photocatalytic degradation activity of pollutants after adsorption under irradiation by visible light, reaching removal efficiencies of 81.2 and 86.3% toward rhodamine B and norfloxacin, respectively. These results demonstrate the promising potential of 2D Cu-TCPP for use in the removal of contaminants from wastewater.
