Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The continuous increasing discharge of synthetic dyes into aquatic systems seems to be an important environmental and health risk due to their high toxicity and resistance to biodegradation. Among these dyes, methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) are widely used in textile and industrial applications, necessitating sustainable and efficient ...

Photothermal Interfacial Evaporation Characteristics of PVA/SA–CNT–Borax Hydrogel
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The desalination of seawater has demonstrated significant potential to use solar‐driven interfacial evaporation technologies due to its sustainability, outstanding productivity, and kindness to the environment. In this paper, a hydrogel interfacial evaporator was produced, with PVA and SA as the base materials. The addition of carbon nanotubes

Adsorption Characteristics and Mechanisms of Dibutyl Phthalate on Nanomaterials
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a widely used plasticizer whose environmental release poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health. This study systematically investigated DBP adsorption on three common nanomaterials—titanium dioxide nanoparticles (n‐TiO2), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and carboxylated MWCNTs (MWCNTs‐COOH)—using ...
