Nanofiber PVA‐Based Membranes Incorporating Functionalized Spanish Broom Derivatives for Sustainable Water Purification

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.

Enhanced Photocatalytic Antibiotic Micropollutants Removal Resulting From a Synergism Between Cu Single Atoms and Carbon Vacancies on Graphitic Carbon Nitride

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Scheme of the synergistic degradation for antibiotic micropollutants in the Cu/ag‐C3N4 system. Photocatalytic processes driven by visible‐light irradiation offer a sustainable means of micropollutants removal from aquatic environments without the addition of reagents.

Enhanced Electron‐Capturing by Single‐Atomic Iron on Pyridinic N‐Deficient Carbon Drives Self‐Oxidative Degradation of Pollutants

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Pyrolysis of FeOx/g‐C3N4 and ZIF‐8 is performed to introduce Fe single atom and pyridinic nitrogen vacancies onto N‐doped carbon. This modification enables the materials to efficiently extract electrons from ciprofloxacin (CIP) and activate dissolved oxygen. 100% of CIP was degraded within 1 min without adding any oxidant.

Upcycling Water Pollutants Into Long‐Chain Polymers via Synergistic Interfacial Dechlorination and Organic Radical Stabilization

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 32, 3 August 2026.
HEO‐regulated electronic structure drives nonradical PI activation, promoting ETP‐mediated polymerization of 4CP into high‐molecular‐weight products with enhanced surface enrichment. Concurrent dechlorination occurs via radical coupling and •OHads attack, enabling efficient carbon retention and selective product evolution at the liquid–solid interface.

Challenges in Implementing European Regulation on Water Reuse for Sustainable Agriculture

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Regulation (EU) 2020/741 on minimum requirements for water reuse is a key policy for sustainable water management under growing water scarcity in Europe. This paper examines expert perspectives on the challenges involved in implementing EU regulation for water reuse in agriculture, aiming to broaden existing research, which is largely ...

Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.

Drainage Water Reuse Through a Baffled Constructed Wetland System: A Pilot Study in the Harran Plain, Türkiye

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The reuse of agricultural drainage water requires low‐cost pretreatment for sediments and salts. This study developed a pilot‐scale horizontal surface‐flow baffled constructed wetland for passive pretreatment of agricultural drainage water.

Comparative Performance of Catalytic Fenton Oxidation with Zero-Valent Iron (Fe(0)) in Comparison with Ferrous Sulphate for the Removal of Micropollutants

Applied Sciences, 2019
This research aims to depict the comparative performance of micropollutants’ removal by FeSO4- and zero-valent iron (Fe(0))-catalytic Fenton oxidation and to explore the possibilities of minimising the sludge production from the process.

The ecotoxicology of hormonally active micropollutants

Water Science and Technology, 2008
There has been intense research and wide public interest in hormonally active micropollutants present in the aquatic environment for more than a decade. This group of micropollutants contains a large number of structurally diverse chemicals with quite different origins.

Removal of pharmaceuticals from municipal wastewater using a powdered activated carbon‐supplemented moving bed membrane bioreactor

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The new European Union Wastewater Directive 2024/3019 requires upgrading sewage treatment plants to achieve 80% removal of micropollutants. This study aimed to compare different Powdered Activated Carbon dosing strategies within a hybrid Moving Bed‐Membrane Bioreactor (PAC‐MB‐MBR) system, to evaluate its performance and to study the
