Abstract
A micro-electrolysis material (MEM) was successfully prepared from carbothermal reduction of blast furnace dust (BFD) and coke as raw materials in a nitrogen atmosphere. The MEM prepared from BFD had strong ability in removing methyl orange, methylene blue, and rose bengal (the removal rates of methyl orange and methylene blue were close to 100%). X-ray diffraction showed that the iron mineral in BFD was ferric oxide, which was converted to zero-valent iron after being reduced by calcination. Scanning electron microscopy showed that nano-scale zero-valent iron particles were formed in the MEM. In short, the MEM prepared from BFD can effectively degrade organic pollutants.

Abstract
For the treatment of 2-naphthol wastewater, the homogeneous electro-Fenton process was considered as an effective method but some disadvantages greatly restrict its application. The three-dimensional electro-Fenton (3D-EF) system using a nano zero-valent iron-supported biochar (NZVIs-BC) particle electrode and a Cu-supported stainless steel electrode (Cu-SSE) was proposed to avoid the disadvantages of the homogeneous electro-Fenton. In this work, the 3D-EF system was developed, which consisted of a Cu-SSE (cathode), a graphite rod (anode) and a NZVIs-BC particle electrode. The effect of the ratio of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FS) to rice straw (RS), CuSO4•5H2O amount, initial pH of 2-naphthol wastewater and current intensity (the output current of the power supply) on the removal rate of 2-naphthol were investigated. It is noteworthy that more than 98.36% of the 2-naphthol in aqueous solution was removed by the 3D-EF system, and only about 60.09% of 2-naphthol was removed by the homogeneous electro-Fenton system. Furthermore, naphthalene, benzoic acid, β-naphthoquinone, 1, 2-naphthalenedione, phenol and aromatic hydrocarbon were the main degradation products of 2-naphthol by the 3D-EF system; the toxicity of 2-naphthol wastewater was also greatly reduced.

Abstract
This study presents a kinetic determination of copper removal from a real jewelry industry wastewater, with removal reaching 82.49% at 37°C, using fast galvanic pulse electrochemical technique in a process lasting 115 min. In the temperature range from 20 to 40°C, the mathematical model of the pseudo-first-order irreversible rate equation, with a correlation coefficient of 0.99, described the process behaviour. In this same temperature range, the Arrhenius' equation described the system, in which the temperature increase favoured the reaction kinetics. The scanning electron microscope (SEM), with energy-dispersive X-ray detector (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results, and the mathematical model fitting at the temperatures of 10 and 50°C indicated the formation of copper oxide I.

Abstract
Rapid industrialization and urbanization have produced a lot of hazardous substances in water and wastewater, which has turned into a crucial issue to the environment and the public health. Recently, iron carbon microelectrolysis (IC-ME) has attracted extensive attention in environmental remediation due to its low costs and excellent performance. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of a more systematic review on IC-ME preparation methods, their performance, and the interaction mechanisms of IC-ME in the remediation of wastewater. Herein, this work summarizes the synthetic methods, application of IC-ME materials, and the mechanism of pollutant removal by IC-ME. A variety approaches have been applied to prepare IC-ME materials, and the preparation methods and conditions have a certain influence on the properties of IC-ME materials, thus affecting the performance of pollutant removal. The mechanisms of IC-ME for contaminants removal are very complex, including adsorption, coprecipitation, reduction, surface complexation, and oxidation. Moreover, research vacant fields and problems that existed in the application of IC-ME are proposed. At last, the problems to be addressed to adapt IC to future applications are introduced. This paper reviews and prospects IC-ME wastewater remediation technology, which provides a reference for further scientific research and engineering applications.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, a novel functional monomer N-(1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethyl)acrylamide (NDTEA) was designed and synthesized, and was used to prepare Ni(ii) ion-imprinted polymers (Ni(ii)-IIPs). Sixteen kinds of Ni(ii)-IIP (Ni(ii)-IIP1–16) and corresponding non-imprinted polymers (NIP1–16) were prepared by precipitation polymerization method. After optimized condition experiment, Ni(ii)-IIP5 possessed maximum adsorption capacity and better imprinting factor under optimal experimental conditions which indicated by equilibrium adsorption experiments. The morphology and structural characteristics of Ni(ii)-IIP5 were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET). The adsorption selectivity of Ni(ii)-IIP5 was analyzed by ICP-OES, and the results showed that Ni(ii)-IIP5 had favorable selectivity recognition ability for Ni(ii) when Cu(ii), Co(ii), and Cd(ii) are used as competitive ions. The kinetic experiment indicated that the performance of Ni(ii) adsorption on the surface of Ni(ii)-IIP5 obeyed the pseudo-first-order model, and adsorption equilibrium was attained after 15 min. Isothermal adsorption process fitted to Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal adsorption models, simultaneously. The results showed that Ni(ii)-IIP5 prepared by using a new functional monomer had better permeation selectivity and higher affinity for Ni(ii), which also verified the rationality of the functional monomer design. At the same time, it also provided a broad application prospect for removal of Ni(ii) in complex samples.

Removal of Phenol from Aqueous Solution Using Internal Microelectrolysis with Fe-Cu: Optimization and Application on Real Coking Wastewater. Processes (Basel) 2021.

Abstract
Fe-Cu materials were synthesized using the chemical plating method from Fe powder and CuSO4 5% solution and then characterized for surface morphology, composition and structure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The as-synthesized Fe-Cu material was used for removal of phenol from aqueous solution by internal microelectrolysis. The internal electrolysis-induced phenol decomposition was then studied with respect to various parameters such as pH, time, Fe-Cu material weight, phenol concentration and shaking speed. The optimal phenol decomposition (92.7%) was achieved under the conditions of (1) a pH value of phenol solution of 3, (2) 12 h of shaking at the speed of 200 rpm, (3) Fe-Cu material weight of 10 g/L, (4) initial phenol concentration of 100.98 mg/L and (5) at room temperature (25 ± 0.5 °C). The degradation of phenol using Fe-Cu materials obeyed the second-order apparent kinetics equation with a reaction rate constant of k of 0.009 h−1L mg−1. The optimal process was then tested against real coking wastewater samples, resulting in treated wastewater with favorable water indicators. Current findings justify the use of Fe-Cu materials in practical internal electrolysis processes.
