Abstract
The research interest in sustainable and eco-friendly materials based on natural sources has increased dramatically due to their recyclability, biodegradability, compatibility, and nontoxic behavior. Recently, nanocellulose-based green composites are under extensive exploration and have gained popularity among researchers owing to their lightweight, lost cost, low density, excellent mechanical and physical characteristics. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in the extraction, modification, and application of bamboo nanocellulose as a high-performance bioadsorbent. Bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource, offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials due to its abundant availability and unique structural properties. Significantly, bamboo comprises a considerable amount of cellulose, approximately 40 % to 50%, rendering it a valuable source of cellulose fiber for the fabrication of cellulose nanocrystals. The review highlights different various modification techniques which enhance the adsorption capacities and selectivity of bamboo nanocellulose. Furthermore, the integration of bamboo nanocellulose into novel composite materials and its performance in removing contaminants such as heavy metals, dyes, and organic pollutants from wastewater are critically analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the mechanisms of adsorption, regeneration potential, and the economic and environmental benefits of using bamboo-based bioadsorbents. The findings underscore the potential of bamboo nanocellulose to play a pivotal role in developing sustainable wastewater treatment technologies, offering a promising pathway towards cleaner water and a greener future.

Abstract
Membrane separation technology has emerged as a powerful tool to separate organic dyes from industrial wastewater. However, continuously selective separation of organic dyes with similar molecular weight remains challenging. Herein, we presented a pH-triggered membrane composed of polydopamine-decorated tunicate-derived cellulose nanofibers (PDA@TCNFs) for selective separation of organic dyes. Such self-supporting membranes with nanoporous structure were fabricated by facile vacuum-assisted filtration of PDA@TCNF suspension. The incorporation of polydopamine not only enhanced the stability of the membranes, but also endowed membranes with excellent pH sensitivity, facilitating the continuously selective separation of organic dyes. These pH-triggered PDA@TCNF membranes could selectively separate Methyl Orange (MO) and Rhodamine B (RB) from the MO/RB mixed solution by switching the pH values. The continuously selective separation of the MO/RB mixed solution was demonstrated, where both MO and RB recovery ratios maintained at ∼99 % during 50 repeated cycles. This work provides a new strategy to develop a pH-triggered sustainable nanocellulose-based membrane for continuously selective separation of mixed dyes.

Abstract
Novel Ag3VO4/KIT-6 nanocomposite photocatalyst has been successfully fabricated by a newly-designed simple hard-template induction process, in which the particles of Ag3VO4 were grown on the KIT-6 surface and inside the porous framework of the silica matrix. The developed porous framework nanocomposite was characterized by several techniques including N2-Physiosorption analysis. The obtained nanocomposite revealed a high surface area (273.86 m2/g) along with the possession of monoclinic Ag3VO4, which is highly responsive to visible light (with distinct intensity at about 700 nm). The UV-Vis DRS reveals that the Ag3VO4/KIT-6 photocatalyst bears a bandgap of 2.29 eV which confirms that the material has a good visible light response. The synthesized nanocomposite was tested for its superior physicochemical properties by evaluating its degradation efficiency for Congo Red (CR). The novel composite exhibited superior degradation capability of CR, reaching up to 96.49%, which was around three times the pure Ag3VO4. The detailed kinetic study revealed that the as-prepared material followed a pseudo first order kinetic model for the CR degradation. The study includes a comprehensive parametric study for the formulation of the optimized reaction conditions for photocatalytic reactions. The commercial applicability of the composite material was investigated by a regeneration and recyclability test, which revealed extraordinary results. Furthermore, the possible degradation pathway for CR was also proposed.

Abstract
Polluted water resources, particularly those polluted with industrial effluents' dyes, are carcinogenic and hence pose a severe threat to sustainable and longstanding worldwide development. Meanwhile, adsorption is a promising process for polluted/wastewater treatment. In particular, activated carbon (AC) is popular among various wastewater treatment adsorbents, especially in the organic contaminants' remediation in wastewater. Hence, the AC's synthesis from degradable and non-degradable resources, the carbon activation involved in the AC synthesis, and the AC's modification to cutting-edge and effective materials have been modern-research targets in recent years. Likewise, the main research focuses worldwide have been the salient AC characteristics, such as its surface chemistry, porosity, and enhanced surface area. Notably, various modified-AC synthesis methods have been employed to enhance the AC's potential for improved contaminants-removal. Hence, we critically analyze the different modified ACs (with enhanced (surface) functional groups and textural properties) of their capacity to remove different-natured anionic dyes in wastewater. We also discuss the corresponding AC modification techniques, the factors affecting the AC properties, and the modifying agents' influence on the AC's morphological/adsorptive properties. Finally, the AC research of future interest has been proposed by identifying the current AC research gaps, especially related to the AC's application in wastewater treatment.

Degradation of Antibiotics via UV-Activated Peroxodisulfate or Peroxymonosulfate: A Review. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
The ultraviolet (UV)/H2O2, UV/O3, UV/peroxodisulfate (PDS) and UV/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) methods are called UV-based advanced oxidation processes. In the UV/H2O2 and UV/O3 processes, the free radicals generated are hydroxyl radicals (•OH), while in the UV/PDS and UV/PMS processes, sulfate radicals (SO4•−) predominate, accompanied by •OH. SO4•− are considered to be more advantageous than •OH in degrading organic substances, so the researches on activation of PDS and PMS have become a hot spot in recent years. Especially the utilization of UV-activated PDS and PMS in removing antibiotics in water has received much attention. Some influencing factors and mechanisms are constantly investigated and discussed in the UV/PDS and UV/PMS systems toward antibiotics degradation. However, a systematic review about UV/PDS and UV/PMS in eliminating antibiotics is lacking up to now. Therefore, this review is intended to present the properties of UV sources, antibiotics, and PDS (PMS), to discuss the application of UV/PDS (PMS) in degrading antibiotics from the aspects of effect, influencing factors and mechanism, and to analyze and propose future research directions.

Abstract
Ammonia is one of the major pollutants of water resources, posing a serious threat to human health and the environment. Titania nanoparticles were used to examine the photocatalytic degradation of ammonia from an aqueous solution in this study. Titania nanoparticles (NPs) were first synthesized via the sol-gel method, then characterized using XRD, FTIR, DLS, EDX, FE-SEM, and TEM analyses. Four effective parameters (pH, initial concentration of pollutant, catalyst dosage, and irradiation time) for photocatalytic degradation were explored using Design-Expert Software. The greatest photocatalytic activity of titania NPs was found in optimal conditions, according to the findings (97%). The optimum amounts of catalyst dosage, initial pollutant concentration, irradiation time, and pH were obtained at 0.3 g/l, 1500 mg/l, 120 min, and 12, respectively. Furthermore, studies revealed that pH was the most efficient variable in comparison with others and that increasing the pH value from 8 to 12 boosted ammonia removal from 40 to 97%. NPs showed high stability as the ammonia removal decreased from 96.96% to 65% after four cycles. Generally, this research has created a precedent for the development of morphology-dependent photocatalysts for the degradation of organic contaminants.

Abstract
A tunable and efficient strategy was adopted to synthesize highly porous nano-structured CuO−carbonized composites (CuxO@C) using Cu3(BTC)2 as a sacrificial template. The as-synthesized CuO nanocomposites exhibited hollow octahedral structures, a large surface area (89.837 m2 g−1) and a high proportion of Cu2O active sites distributed on a carbon frame. Based on DFT calculations, both the Cu atoms on the surface (CuS) and oxygen vacancy (OV) exhibited strong chemical reactivity. On the perfect CuO (111), the CuS transferred charge to O atoms on the surface and SO2 molecules. A strong adsorption energy (−1.41 eV) indicated the existence of the chemisorption process. On the oxygen-deficient CuO (111), the O2 preferably adsorbed on OV and then formed SO3 by bonding with SO2, followed by the cleavage of the O−O bond. Furthermore, the CuO nanocomposites exhibited an excellent ratio of S/Cu in SO2 removal experiments compared with CuO nanoparticles produced by coprecipitation.

Abstract
Oxidative desulfurization (ODS) has attracted much attention owing to the mild working conditions and effective removal of the aromatic sulfur-containing compounds which are difficult to desulfurize using the industrial hydrodesulfurization (HDS) technique. Molecular oxygen in ambient air have been recognized as an ideal oxidant in ODS due to its easy availability, non-toxicity and low cost in recent years. However, molecular oxygen activation under mild operating conditions is still a challenge. Porous materials and their composites have drawn increasing attention due to their advantages, such as high surface area and confined pore space, along with their stability. These merits contribute to the fast diffusion of oxygen molecules and the formation of more exposed active sites, which make them ideal catalysts for aerobic oxidation reactions. The confined space pore size offers a means of catalytic activity and durability improvement. This gives rise to copious attention toward the porous catalysts in AODS. In this review, the progress in the characteristics and AODS catalytic activities of porous catalysts is summarized. Then, emphasis on the molecular oxygen activation mechanism is traced. Finally, the breakthroughs and challenges of various categories of porous catalysts are concluded.
