Abstract
The current research highlights the fabrication of a novel SnS2/CO32-@Ni-Co LDH (SnS2/NCL) by precipitating Ni-Co LDH over hydrothermally synthesized SnS2 nanoparticles for the enhanced degradation of thiamethoxam (THM) insecticide through the advanced oxidation process. The effect of several reaction parameters was optimized, and a maximum degradation of 98.1 ± 1.2 % with a rate constant of 0.0541 min-1 of 10 ppm THM was reached at a catalyst loading of 0.16 gL-1 using 0.3 mM of H2O2 within 70 min of visible light irradiation. The effect of metal cations, inorganic anions, dissolved organic matter, organic compounds and water samples on the photodegradation performance of SnS2/NCL nanocomposite was also examined to evaluate the prepared photocatalyst's suitability for use in actual wastewater conditions. The metal cations blocked the active sites of the photocatalyst and reduced the degradation efficiency except for Fe2+ ions, since it is a Fenton reagent and increased the production of hydroxyl radicals. Inorganic anions are the scavengers of hydroxyl radicals and hinder photocatalytic activity. Meanwhile, lake water containing varying degrees of co-existing ions shows the lowest degradation efficiency among other water samples. The SnS2/NCL nanocomposite could be reused for five cycles while maintaining a photocatalytic efficiency of 83.6 ± 0.3 % in the fifth run. The prepared SnS2/NCL nanocomposite also showed excellent photodegradation of several other emerging organic pollutants with an efficiency of over 80 % under optimum conditions. Incorporating Ni-Co LDH with SnS2 helped to delocalize photoinduced charges, leading to increased photocatalytic activity and a slower electron-hole recombination rate. The present research highlights the photocatalytic activity of SnS2/NCL photocatalysts for the photocatalytic degradation of emerging contaminants from wastewater.

Abstract
The fabrication of all-solid-state Z-scheme sonophotocatalysts is vital for improving the transfer rate of photogenerated electrons to remove antibiotics present in wastewater. Herein, a novel indirect Z-scheme ZnFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N5) heterojunction was synthesized using a simple strategy. The ZnFe-LDH/rGO/g-C3N5 (ZF@rGCN) ternary composites were systematically characterized using different techniques. Results revealed that the 15%ZF@rGCN catalyst achieved a ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation efficiency of 95% via the synergistic effect of sonocatalysis and photocatalysis. The improved sonophotocatalytic performance of the ZF@rGCN heterojunction was attributed to an increase in the number of active sites, a Z-scheme charge-transfer channel in ZF@rGCN, and an extended visible light response range. The introduction of rGO further enhanced the charge-transfer rate and preserved the reductive and oxidative sites of the ZF@rGCN system, thereby affording additional reactive species to participate in CIP removal. In addition, owing to its unique properties, rGO possibly increased the absorption of incident light and served as an electronic bridge in the as-formed ZF@rGCN catalyst. Finally, the possible CIP degradation pathways and the sonophotocatalytic Z-scheme charge-migration route of ZF@rGCN were proposed. This study presents a new approach for fabricating highly efficient Z-scheme sonophotocatalysts for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Tea polyphenols (TPs), like green tea polyphenol (GTP) and black tea polyphenol (BTP), with phenolic hydroxyl structures, form coordination and hydrogen bonds, making them effective for bridging inorganic catalysts and membranes. Here, TPs were employed as interface agents for the preparation of TPs-modified needle-clustered NiCo-layered double hydroxide/graphene oxide membranes (NiCo-LDH-TPs/GO). The incorporation of porous guest material, NiCo-LDH-TPs, facilitated water channel expansion, enhancing membrane permeability and resulting in the development of high-performance, sustainable catalytic cleaning membranes. The introduction of TPs through coordination weakened the surface electronegativity of NiCo-LDH, promoting a uniform mixed dispersion with GO and facilitating membrane self-assembly. NiCo-LDH-GTP/GO-5 and NiCo-LDH-BTP/GO-5 membranes demonstrated permeances of 85.98 and 90.76 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, respectively, with rejections of 98.73% and 99.54% for methylene blue (MB). Notably, the NiCo-LDH-BTP/GO-5 membrane maintained a high rejection of 97.11% even after 18 cycles in the catalytic cleaning process. Furthermore, the modification of GTP and BTP enhanced MB degradation through PMS activation, resulting in a 0.33% and 0.35% increase in the reaction rate constants of NiCo-LDH, respectively, while reducing metal ion spillover. These findings highlighted the potential of TPs in enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of catalytic cleaning GO membranes for water purification and separation processes.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also known as anionic clays, have attracted significant attention in energy and environmental applications due to their exceptional physicochemical properties. These materials possess a unique structure with surface hydroxyl groups, tunable properties, and high stability, making them highly desirable. In this review, the synthesis and functionalization of LDHs have been explored including co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods. Furthermore, extensive research on LDH application in toxic pollutant removal has shown that modifying or functionalizing LDHs using materials such as activated carbon, polymers, and inorganics is crucial for achieving efficient pollutant adsorption, improved cyclic performance, as well as effective catalytic oxidation of organics and photoreduction. This study offers a comprehensive overview of the progress made in the field of LDHs and LDH-based composites for water and wastewater treatment. It critically discusses and explains both direct and indirect synthesis and modification techniques, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, this review critically discusses and explains the potential of LDH-based composites as absorbents. Importantly, it focuses on the capability of LDH and LDH-based composites in heterogeneous catalysis, including the Fenton reaction, Fenton-like reactions, photocatalysis, and photoreduction, for the removal of organic dyes, organic micropollutants, and heavy metals. The mechanisms involved in pollutant removal, such as adsorption, electrostatic interaction, complexation, and degradation, are thoroughly explained. Finally, this study outlines future research directions in the field.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), regarding their physical and structural properties, have different and wide applications industry and their increasing use may raise ecological and human health concerns. However, the potential toxicity mechanisms of LDHs in different organisms are still unclear. In the present work, after synthesizing of ZnFe-SO4 LDH and studying of its characterization by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX-mapping, TEM and Raman, its toxicity in Tetradesmus obliquus was evaluated. According to experimental results, the growth of the algae and content of photosynthetic pigments were significantly decreased after treatment with 100 mg/L of ZnFe-SO4 LDH. The high dose exposure to the LDH also inhibited the activity of SOD and POD enzymes, possibly due to the LDH- catalyzed reactive oxygen species production. In addition, lipid peroxidation and the content of phenolic compounds, as no-enzymatic antioxidants were increased by enhancement of the LDH concentration. The rise of phenol, flavonoids and MDA contents could be regarded as some manifestations and responses to the toxic effects of the contaminant in the algae cells. The results provided a better understanding of the undesirable effects and toxicity of LDHs in aquatic organisms.

Abstract
Due to its complex and, often, highly contaminated nature, treating industrial wastewater poses a significant environmental problem. Many of the persistent pollutants found in industrial effluents cannot be effectively removed by conventional treatment procedures. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have emerged as a promising solution, offering versatile and effective means of pollutant removal and mineralization. This comprehensive review explores the application of various AOP strategies in industrial wastewater treatment, focusing on their mechanisms and effectiveness. Ozonation (O3): Ozonation, leveraging ozone (O3), represents a well-established AOP for industrial waste water treatment. Ozone's formidable oxidative potential enables the breakdown of a broad spectrum of organic and inorganic contaminants. This paper provides an in-depth examination of ozone reactions, practical applications, and considerations involved in implementing ozonation. UV/Hydrogen Peroxide (UV/H2O2): The combination of ultraviolet (UV) light and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has gained prominence as an AOP due to its ability to generate hydroxyl radicals (ȮH), highly efficient in pollutant degradation. The review explores factors influencing the efficiency of UV/H2O2 processes, including H2O2 dosage and UV radiation intensity. Fenton and Photo-Fenton Processes: Fenton's reagent and Photo-Fenton processes employ iron ions and hydrogen peroxide to generate hydroxyl radicals for pollutant oxidation. The paper delves into the mechanisms, catalyst selection, and the role of photoactivation in enhancing degradation rates within the context of industrial wastewater treatment. Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Processes (EAOPs): EAOPs encompass a range of techniques, such as electro-Fenton and anodic oxidation, which employ electrode reactions to produce ȮH radicals. This review explores the electrochemical principles, electrode materials, and operational parameters critical for optimizing EAOPs in industrial wastewater treatment. TiO2 Photocatalysis (UV/TiO2): Titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis, driven by UV light, is examined for its potential in industrial wastewater treatment. The review investigates TiO2 catalyst properties, reaction mechanisms, and the influence of parameters like catalyst loading and UV intensity on pollutant removal. Sonolysis (Ultrasonic Irradiation): High-frequency ultrasound-induced sonolysis represents a unique AOP, generating ȮH radicals during the formation and collapse of cavitation bubbles. This paper delves into the physics of cavitation, sonolytic reactions, and optimization strategies for industrial wastewater treatment. This review offers a critical assessment of the applicability, advantages, and limitations of these AOP strategies in addressing the diverse challenges posed by industrial wastewater. It emphasizes the importance of selecting AOPs tailored to the specific characteristics of industrial effluents and outlines potential directions for future research and practical implementation. The integrated use of these AOPs, when appropriately adapted, holds the potential to achieve sustainable and efficient treatment of industrial wastewater, contributing significantly to environmental preservation and regulatory compliance.

Abstract
A highly dispersed carbonate-intercalated Cu2+ -Al3+ layered double hydroxide (CuAl LDH) was created on an unreactive α-Al2 O3 surface (CuAl LDH@α-Al2 O3 ) via a simple coprecipitation method of Cu2+ and Al3+ under alkaline conditions in the presence of α-Al2 O3 . A highly reducible CuO nanoparticles was generated, accompanied by the formation of CuAl2 O4 on the surface of α-Al2 O3 (CuAlO@α-Al2 O3 ) after calcination at 1073 K in air, as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Cu K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES). The structural changes during the progressive heating process were monitored by using in-situ temperature-programmed synchrotron XRD (tp-SXRD). The layered structure of CuAl LDH@α-Al2 O3 completely disappeared at 473 K, and CuO or CuAl2 O4 phases began to appear at 823 K or 1023 K, respectively. Our synthesised CuAlO@α-Al2 O3 catalyst was highly active for the acceptorless dehydrogenation of benzylic, aliphatic, or cyclic aliphatic alcohols; the TON based on the amount of Cu increased to 163 from 3.3 of unsupported CuAlO catalyst in 1-phenylethanol dehydrogenation. The results suggested that Cu0 was obtained from the reduction of CuO in the catalyst matrix during the reaction without separate reduction procedure and acted as a catalytically active species.

Abstract
Photocatalytic activation of persulfate (PS) has recently been considered an effective and environmentally friendly approach for antibiotic decomposition due to its high treatment efficiency, low energy consumption, and high reliability. The development of safe and high-performance catalysts is important for PS-based advanced oxidation processes. In this study, a CuFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) coated graphene oxide (CuFe-LDH/GO) composite was constructed as a photocatalyst for trimethoprim (TMP) decomposition. The CuFe-LDH/GO catalyst was prepared via the co-precipitation method and characterized through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and X-ray electron microscopy (XPS) techniques. Characterization results revealed that GO was entirely covered by LDH platelets which also kept its hydrotalcite structure in the as-prepared nanocomposite. The average crystallite size of CuFe-LDH/GO was 28.22 nm. The results confirmed that CuFe-LDH/GO exhibited excellent performance for the PS activation with a TMP removal efficiency of 90.8% under UV-light irradiation. Compared with pristine CuFe-LDH, the rate constant of TMP degradation of CuFe-LDH/GO was doubled. The results also indicated that acidic and alkaline conditions were not favorable for TMP degradation, and the catalytic activity of the used photocatalyst has not decreased significantly after 720 h of continuous recycling. Overall, CuFe-LDH/GO could be a promising photocatalyst for the treatment of wastewater containing antibiotics.

Abstract
This paper is focused on the utilization of hybrid catalysts obtained from layered double hydroxides containing molybdate as the compensation anion (Mo-LDH) and graphene oxide (GO) in advanced oxidation using environmentally friendly H2O2 as the oxidation agent for the removal of indigo carmine dye (IC) from wastewaters at 25 °C using 1 wt.% catalyst in the reaction mixture. Five samples of Mo-LDH-GO composites containing 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 wt% GO labeled as HTMo-xGO (where HT is the abbreviation used for Mg/Al in the brucite type layer of the LDH and x stands for the concentration of GO) have been synthesized by coprecipitation at pH 10 and characterized by XRD, SEM, Raman, and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, determination of the acid and base sites, and textural analysis by nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The XRD analysis confirmed the layered structure of the HTMo-xGO composites and GO incorporation in all samples has been proved by Raman spectroscopy. The most efficient catalyst was found to be the catalyst that contained 20%wt. GO, which allowed the removal of IC to reach 96.6%. The results of the catalytic tests indicated a strong correlation between catalytic activity and textural properties as well as the basicity of the catalysts.

Abstract
Iron-based layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have drawn tremendous attention as a promising peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activators, but they still suffer from low efficiencies limited by electrostatic agglomeration and low electronic conductivity. Herein, a MgFeAl layered double hydroxide/carbonitride (LDH/CN) heterostructure was constructed via triggering the interlayer reaction of citric acid (CA) and urea. CA as a structure-directing agent regulated the interlayer anion of MgFeAl-LDH, which enabled an interfacial tuning in the process of coupling with CN. The obtained LDH/CN heterostructure, as an efficient PMS activator, achieved nearly 100% bisphenol A (BPA) removal rate in 10 min with high specific activity (0.146 L min-1·m-2). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests, quenching experiments, electrochemical characterization and X-ray photoelectrons spectroscopy (XPS) tests were applied to clarify the mechanism of BPA degradation. The results unraveled that the activity of the catalyst originated from the heterostructure of LDH and CN with an efficient interfacial electron transfer, which promoted the fast generation of O2•- for rapid pollutant degradation. In addition, the catalyst exhibited excellent applicability in realistic wastewater. This work offered a rational strategy for forming a heterostructure catalyst with a fine interface engineering in actual environmental cleanup.

Abstract
The world faces tremendous challenges and environmental crises due to the rising strength of wastewater. The conventional technologies fail to achieve the quality water that can be reused after treatment means "zero effluent" discharge of the industrial effluent. Therefore, now the key challenge is to develop improved technologies which will have no contribution to secondary pollution and at the same time more efficient for the socio-economic growth of the environment. Sustainable technologies are needed for wastewater treatment, reducing footprint by recycling, reusing, and recovering resources. Advanced oxidation process (AOP) is one of the sustainable emerging technologies for treating refractory organic contaminants present in different industrial wastewaters like textile, paper and pulp, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and refineries. This critical review emerges details of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), mentioning all possible permutations and combinations of components like ozone, UV, the catalyst used in the process. Non-conventional AOP systems, microwave, ultrasound, and plasma pulse assisted are the future of the oxidation process. This review aims to enlighten the role of AOPs for the mineralization of refractory organic contaminants (ROC) to readily biodegradable organics that cannot be either possible by conventional treatment. The integrated AOPs can improve the biodegradability of recalcitrant organic compounds and reduce the toxicity of wastewater, making them suitable for further biological treatment.

Abstract
In the present study, a hybrid photocatalyst of Zn/Ti layered double hydroxide (LDH) coupled with MXene - Ti3C2 was synthesized for the first time and applied in photocatalytic degradation of acetaminophen and ibuprofen, two commonly present in the natural environment and prone to accumulate in the aquatic ecosystem pharmaceuticals. The effect of MXene content (0.5 wt%, 2.5 wt%, and 5 wt%) on the photocatalytic activity of LDH/MXene composite was investigated. The composite of LDH/MXene containing 2.5 wt% of MXene revealed the highest photocatalytic activity in the degradation of acetaminophen (100% within 40 min) and ibuprofen (99.7% within 60 min). Furthermore, an improvement in acetaminophen and ibuprofen mineralization was observed for the composite material. Meanwhile, the introduction of interfering ions (Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, SO42-) in the model seawater did not affect the removal efficiency of both pharmaceuticals. The photocatalytic experiment performed in the four subsequent cycles, as well as FTIR, TEM, and XPS analyses after the photodegradation process confirmed the excellent stability and reusability of the prepared composite material. In order to evaluate the effect of various reactive oxidizing species (ROS) on the photocatalytic process, the trapping experiment was applied. It was noticed that •O2- had the main contribution in photocatalytic degradation of acetaminophen, while •OH and h+ mainly affected the degradation of ibuprofen. Finally, based on the results of Mott Schottky analysis, bandgap calculation, and ROS trapping experiment, the possible mechanism for pharmaceuticals degradation was proposed. This research illustrates the feasibility and novelty of the treatment of pharmaceuticals by LDH/MXene composites, implying that MXene plays a significant role in the electron-hole separation and thus high photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
In this work, engineered biochar decorated layered double hydroxides and cellulose nanocrystals (B-CuFe-CNC) biocomposites were synthesized by the facile ultrasonicated-co-precipitation technique. The biocomposite was investigated for purification of Eriochrome Black T (EBT) dye from water. The characterization results showed that the presence of CNC in biochar-layered double hydroxides resulted in a two-dimensional rod-like structure with excellent crystallinity, improved surface functionalities, and provides an attractive platform for the enhanced adsorption of azo anionic dye molecules. The adsorption system was appropriately demonstrated by the BBD-RSM (R2 > 0.994). The biocomposite exhibited higher EBT adsorption in the acidic pH range (2-5) due to strong electrostatic and chemical interactions. The kinetic and isotherm results were well demonstrated by pseudo-second order, Freundlich, and Redlich Peterson models. The maximum adsorption capacity of biocomposite was 876.2 mg/g achieved within 45 min. The spectroscopic analyses imply that the high removal of EBT by biocomposite is mainly governed by electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, and chemical/metal complexation mechanisms. The biocomposite maintained high EBT removal after six successive adsorption cycles and excellent dye adsorption in the different water matrices. The results suggest that tailoring biochar properties with layered double hydroxide and CNC is a promising way for the enhanced removal of dye contaminants from wastewater.

Abstract
Composites based on layered double hydroxide with polyoxometalate K3[-PW12O40] and K4[-SiW12O40] were synthesized to form NiAl-[SiW12O40] and NiAl-[PW12O40]. The materials were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, and UV-DRS and were then applied as a photocatalyst to degrade MG. The effects of catalyst loading, pH value, and contact times on photodegradation performance were carried out in this study. The results indicated that NiAl-LDH was successfully synthesized by showing the peak diffractions at angles 11.63°, 23.13°, and 35.16°. Both kinds of attained NiAl-[SiW12O40] and NiAl-[PW12O40] had typical structures of LDH that were proved by appearing diffraction at 2θ angles 10.76°, 26.59°, 30.8°, and 63.11° for NiAl-[PW12O40] and at 2θ angles 8.26°, 11.34°, 29°, and 35.1° for NiAl-[SiW12O40]. The materials used for the fifth regeneration were characterized by FTIR, which still presents characteristics of LDH structure. The photocatalyst was applied for the first time to degrade MG. The decrease of band gap on NiAl pristine than LDH composite from 4.76 eV to 3.22 eV for NiAl-[SiW12O40] and 3.78 eV for NiAl-[PW12O40] respectively, was presented by DR-UV analysis. LDH composite shows improved degradation photocatalytic performance in comparison with LDH pristine. It was present by the %degradation MG performances were 68.94% for NiAl LDH, 84.51% for NiAl-[PW12O40]), and 88.91% for NiAl-[SiW12O40]. The degradation percentage indicates that the LDH-polyoxometalate composite has succeeded in increasing the ability of photodegradation catalytic and the regeneration ability of LDH pristine.

Abstract
In the present study, a binary heterojunction nanocomposite composed of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and Zn/Fe-contained layered double hydroxide (ZnFe LDH) was employed as heterogeneous catalyst for the decomposition of tetracycline (TC) antibiotic utilizing Oxone and UV light irradiation. The sole use of g-C3N4/ZnFe LDH as adsorbent led to the negligible elimination of TC. In addition, the sole use of Oxone or UV (photolysis) and even their combination were not effective enough to degrade the target pollutant, while the combined process of g-C3N4/ZnFe LDH/Oxone/photolysis revealed significantly enhanced (synergistic) degradation of TC (92.4% within 30 min). Indirect detection tests for the identification of free radical species indicated the major role of both hydroxyl (•OH) and sulfate (SO4•-) radicals in the degradation of TC by the g-C3N4/ZnFe LDH/Oxone/photolysis system. The elimination of TC followed a pseudo-first order kinetic model. The complete degradation of TC (degradation efficiency of 100%) was achieved within the reaction time of 25 min when ultrasound (US) was applied as enhancing agent. Furthermore, the results of total organic carbon (TOC) analysis were used to exhibit progress in the mineralization of the pollutant. The bioassay results indicated the decreased toxicity of the process effluent toward microbial population of Escherichia coli after the treatment.

Abstract
In this study, 0.6Ag3PO4/CoWO4 composites were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The prepared materials were systematically characterized by techniques of scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), N2 adsorption/desorption, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS). Furthermore, the sonocatalytic degradation performance of 0.6Ag3PO4/CoWO4 composites towards tetracycline (TC) was investigated under ultrasonic radiation. The results showed that, combined with potassium persulfate (K2S2O8), the 0.6Ag3PO4/CoWO4 composites achieved a high sonocatalytic degradation efficiency of 97.89 % within 10 min, which was much better than bare Ag3PO4 or CoWO4. By measuring the electrochemical properties, it was proposed that the degradation mechanism of 0.6Ag3PO4/CoWO4 is the formation of S-scheme heterojunction, which increases the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs (e--h+) and generates more electrons and holes, thereby enhancing the degradation activity. The scavenger experiments confirmed that hole (h+) was the primary active substance in degrading TC, and free radicals (OH) and superoxide anion radical (O2-) were auxiliary active substances. The results indicated that 0.6Ag3PO4/CoWO4 nanocomposites could be used as an efficient and reliable sonocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The electrophoretic deposition of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (Degussa P25) onto a boron-doped diamond (BDD) substrate was carried out to produce a photoanode (TiO2/BDD) to apply in the degradation and mineralization of sodium diclofenac (DCF-Na) in an aqueous medium using photoelectrocatalysis (PEC). This study was divided into three stages: i) photoanode production through electrophoretic deposition using three suspensions (1.25%, 2.5%, 5.0% w/v) of TiO2 nanoparticles, applying 4.8 V for 15 and 20 s; ii) characterization of the TiO2/BDD photoanode using scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry response with the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox system; iii) degradation of DCF-Na (25 mg L-1) through electrochemical oxidation (EO) on BDD and PEC on TiO2/BDD under dark and UVC-light conditions. The degradation of DCF-Na was evaluated using high-performance liquid chromatography and UV-Vis spectroscopy, and its mineralization measured using total organic carbon and chemical oxygen demand. The results showed that after 2 h, DCF-Na degradation and mineralization reached 98.5% and 80.1%, respectively, through PEC on the TiO2/BDD photoanode at 2.2 mA cm-2 under UVC illumination, while through EO on BDD applying 4.4 mA cm-2, degradation and mineralization reached 85.6% and 76.1%, respectively. This difference occurred because of the optimal electrophoretic formation of a TiO2 film with a 9.17 μm thickness on the BDD (2.5% w/v TiO2, time 15 s, 4.8 V), which improved the electrocatalysis and oxidative capacity of the TiO2/BDD photoanode. Additionally, PEC showed a lower specific energy consumption (1.55 kWh m-3). Thus, the use of nanostructured TiO2 films deposited on BDD is an innovative photoanode alternative for the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of DCF-Na, which substantially improves the degradation capacity of bare BDD.

Abstract
In this study, Fe- and Ag-modified TiO2 nanotubes were synthesized via an anodization method as photocatalysts for degradation of polyethylene microplastics and disinfection of Escherichia coli (E. coli). The anodization voltage, as well as the Fe3+ or Ag+ concentrations on TiO2 nanotubes were evaluated and correlated to their corresponding photocatalytic properties. TiO2 nanotubes were firstly synthesized by anodization of Ti plates in a glycerol-based electrolyte, followed by incorporation of either Fe or Ag via a Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method with Fe(NO3)3 and AgNO3 as Fe and Ag precursors, respectively. UV-Vis DRS shows that the addition of Fe or Ag on TiO2 nanotubes causes a redshift in the absorption spectra. The X-ray diffractograms indicate that, in the case of Fe-modified samples, Fe3+ was successfully incorporated into TiO2 lattice, while Ag scatters around the surface of the tubes as Ag and Ag2O nanoparticles. A microplastic degradation test was carried out for 90 mins inside a photoreactor with UVC illumination. TiO2 nanotubes that are anodized with a voltage of 30 V exhibit the best degradation results with 17.33% microplastic weight loss in 90 mins. Among the modified TiO2 nanotubes, 0.03 M Ag-TiO2 was the only one that surpassed the unmodified TiO2 in terms of microplastic degradation in the water, offering up to 18% microplastic weight loss in 90 min. In terms of E. coli disinfection, 0.03M Ag-TiO2 exhibit better performance than its unmodified counterpart, revealing 99.999% bactericidal activities in 10 mins.

Abstract
Studies of LDH materials to be applied as photocatalyst for dye pollutant degradation have been developed. These interesting efforts are inseparable from the investigation of degradation performance and competitive synthetic methods. Composites based on Zn/Al and Mg/Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with ZnO and TiO2 were prepared by coprecipitation-impregnation method following by calcination at 300 °C to forms Zn/Al-ZnO, Mg/Al-ZnO, Zn/Al-TiO2, and Mg/Al-TiO2. Composites were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM and UV-DRS. Photodegradation of malachite green (MG) was carried out, after optimization of pH, catalyst loading and contact time in batch system under UV irradiation. XRD and spectroscopic data shows composites were successfully formed indicated by formation of both pristine materials. Degradation of malachite green showed that composites as photocatalyst have higher catalytic activity than pristine LDHs. LDH-ZnO composite have better activity, energy band gap and degradation reusability than LDH-TiO2. The Zn/Al-ZnO and Zn/Al-TiO2 composites degraded 97.1% and 96.3% MG, whereas the Mg/Al-ZnO and Mg/Al-TiO2 composites were able to degrade 99.8% and 98.6% MG, respectively.

Abstract
Industrial expansion and increased water consumption have created water scarcity concerns. Meanwhile, conventional wastewater purification methods have failed to degrade recalcitrant pollutants efficiently. The present review paper discusses the recent advances and challenges in photocatalytic processes applied for industrial effluents treatment, with respect to phenolic compounds degradation. Key operational parameters including the catalyst loading, light intensity, initial pollutants concentration, pH, and type and concentrations of oxidants are evaluated and discussed. Compared to the other examined controlling parameters, pH has the highest effect on the photo-oxidation of contaminants by means of the photocatalyst ionization degree and surface charge. Furthermore, major phenolic compounds derived from industrial sources are comprehensively presented and the applicability of photocatalytic processes and the barriers in practical applications, including high energy demand, technical challenges, photocatalyst stability, and recyclability have been explored. The importance of energy consumption and operational costs for realistic large-scale processes are also discussed. Finally, research gaps in this area and the suggested direction for improving degradation efficiencies in industrial applications are presented. In the light of these premises, selective degradation processes in real water matrices such as untreated sewage are proposed.

Abstract
Photocatalysis plays a prominent role in the protection of the environment from recalcitrant pollutants by reducing hazardous wastes. Among the different methods of choice, photocatalysis mediated through nanomaterials is the most widely used and economical method for removing pollutants from wastewater. Recently, worldwide researchers focused their research on eco-friendly and sustainable environmental aspects. Wastewater contamination is one of the major threats coming from industrial processes, compared to other environmental issues. Much research is concerned with the advanced development of technology for treating wastewater discharged from various industries. Water treatment using photocatalysis is prominent because of its degradation capacity to convert pollutants into non-toxic biodegradable products. Photocatalysts are cheap, and are now emerging slowly in the research field. This review paper elaborates in detail on the metal oxides used as a nano photocatalysts in the various type of pollutant degradation. The progress of research into metal oxide nanoparticles, and their application as photocatalysts in organic pollutant degradation, were highlighted. As a final consideration, the challenges and future perspectives of photocatalysts were analyzed. The application of nano-based materials can be a new horizon in the use of photocatalysts in the near future for organic pollutant degradation.

Abstract
Rapid industrialization is causing a serious threat for the environment. Therefore, this research was aimed in developing ceramic cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanocomposite photocatalyst coated with coal fly ash (CFA-CoFe2O4) using facile hydrothermal synthesis route and their applications against methylene blue. The pristine cobalt ferrite photocatalyst was also prepared, characterized, and applied for efficiency comparison. Prepared photocatalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Optical response of catalysts was check using photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). pH drift method was used for the surface charge characteristics of the material under acidic and basic conditions of solution pH. The photocatalytic degradation potential of all the materials were determined under ultra-violet irradiations. The influencing reaction parameters like pH, catalyst dose, oxidant dose, dye concentration, and irradiation time, were sequentially optimized to obtain best suited conditions. The 99% degradation of 10 ppm methylene blue was achieved within 60 min of reaction time under pH = 5 and 7, catalyst dose = 10 and 12 mg/100 mL, oxidant = 12 mM and 5 mM for cobalt ferrite and CFA-CoFe2O4 photocatalysts, respectively. Afterwards, the radical scavenging experiments were conducted to find out the effective radical scavengers (˙OH, h+, and e-) in photocatalytic degradation process. The kinetic study of the process was done by applying 1st order, 2nd order, and BMG models. Statistical assessment of interaction effect among experimental variables was achieved using response surface methodology (RSM).

Abstract
Bismuth oxide synthesis using hydrothermal method has been conducted. This study aims to examine the effect of the hydrothermal reaction time on product characteristics and photocatalytic activity in degrading methyl orange dye. Bismuth oxide synthesis was initiated by dissolving bismuth nitrate pentahydrate (Bi(NO3)3.5H2O) and Na2SO4 in a distilled water and added NaOH gradually. The solution formed was transferred into a Teflon-lined autoclave and heated at 120 °C with time variations of 8–16 h. The formation of bismuth oxide was indicated by the vibrations of the Bi−O−Bi and Bi−O groups and the crystal structure consisting of a-Bi2O3, β-Bi2O3, and g-Bi2O3. In addition, the highest photocatalytic activity can be examined through several factors, such as: content of Bi−O−Bi and Bi−OH groups, crystal structure, band gap values, morphology, and surface area, acquired as a result of the effect of hydrothermal reaction time.

Abstract
One of the major causes of excess CO2 in the atmosphere is the direct burning of biomass waste, which can be obviated by the photocatalytic biomass conversion to useful/valuable chemicals/fuels, a sustainable and renewable approach. The present research work is focused on the development of a novel Zn–Fe LDH by a simple co-precipitation method and its utilization for the photocatalytic conversion of a rice husk extract (extracted from rice husk by means of pyrolysis) to value-added products. The synthesized, pure Zn–Fe LDH was characterized by various analytical techniques such as XRD, SEM, FTIR, and UV–Visible DRS spectroscopy. The rice husk extract was converted in a photocatalytic reactor under irradiation with 75 W white light, and the valued-added chemicals were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). It was found that the compounds in the rice husk extract before the photocatalytic reaction were mainly carboxylic acids, phenols, alcohols, alkanes (in a small amount), aldehydes, ketones, and amines. After the photocatalytic reaction, all the carboxylic acids and phenols were completely converted into alkanes by complex reactions. Hence, photocatalytic biomass conversion of a rice husk extract was successfully carried out in the present experimental work, opening new avenues for the development of related research domains, with a great potential for obtaining an alternate fuel and overcoming environmental pollution.

Abstract
Recently, persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (persulfate-AOPs) are booming rapidly due to their promising potential in treating refractory contaminants. As a type of popular two-dimensional material, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are widely used in energy conversion, medicine, environment remediation and other fields for the advantages of high specific surface area (SSA), good tunability, biocompatibility and facile fabrication. These excellent physicochemical characteristics may enable LDH-based materials to be promising catalysts in persulfate-AOPs. In this work, we make a summary of LDHs and their composites in persulfate-AOPs from different aspects. Firstly, we introduce different structure and important properties of LDH-based materials briefly. Secondly, various LDH-based materials are classified according to the type of foreign materials (metal or carbonaceous materials, mainly). Latterly, we discuss the mechanisms of persulfate activation (including radical pathway and nonradical pathway) by these catalysts in detail, which involve (i) bimetallic synergism for radical generation, (ii) the role of carbonaceous materials in radical generation, (iii) singlet oxygen (1O2) production and several special nonradical mechanisms. In addition, the catalytic performance of LDH-based catalysts for contaminants are also summarized. Finally, challenges and future prospects of LDH-based composites in environmental remediation are proposed. We expect this review could bring new insights for the development of LDH-based catalyst and exploration of reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Color-producing chemicals emitted from many sources, such as textile or dye manufacturing industries, are a significant concern worldwide. The present study focuses on the electro-peroxone (EP) process for decolorizing a synthetic azo dye, C.I. Reactive Black 5 (RB5). Findings suggest that the EP process is more effective for dye degradation than ozonation and electrolysis. The EP process resulted in 100% decolorization after 60 min of contact time under optimum testing conditions such as pH 7, applied current 300 mA, and sulfate concentration 3.55 g L-1. Based on the findings of the primary investigation, EP treatment of real textile effluent was carried out and 2 h of EP treatment resulted in 99% decolorization and 74%total organic carbon (TOC) removal. As an outcome, the EP process can treat textile wastewater in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner.

Abstract
Landfilling is the most prominently adopted disposal technique for managing municipal solid waste across the globe. However, the main drawback associated with this method is the generation of leachate from the landfill site. Leachate, a highly concentrated liquid consisting of both organic and inorganic components arises environmental issues as it contaminates the nearby aquifers. Landfill leachate treatment by conventional methods is not preferred as the treatment methods are not much effective to remove these pollutants. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on both hydroxyl and sulfate radicals could be a promising method to remove the micropollutants completely or convert them to non-toxic compounds. The current review focuses on the occurrence of micropollutants in landfill leachate, their detection methods and removal from landfill leachate using AOPs. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products occur in the range of 10-1 to more than 100 μg L-1 whereas phthalates were found below the detectable limit to 384 μg L-1, pesticides in the order of 10-1 μg L-1 and polyaromatic hydrocarbons occur in concentration from 10-2 to 114.7 μg L-1. Solid-phase extraction is the most preferred method for extracting micropollutants from leachate and liquid chromatography (LC) - mass spectrophotometer (MS) for detecting the micropollutants. Limited studies have been focused on AOPs as a potential method for the degradation of micropollutants in landfill leachate. The potential of Fenton based techniques, electrochemical AOPs and ozonation are investigated for the removal of micropollutants from leachate whereas the applicability of photocatalysis for the removal of a wide variety of micropollutants from leachate needs in-depth studies.

Abstract
In the present study, heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) process was applied to remove the sulfasalazine (SU) pharmaceutical from aqueous solutions. In the first part, 3D graphene loaded with Fe@Fe2O3 core-shell nanowires (Fe@Fe2O3/3D-GO) was used as a cathode electrode in the EF process. Graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized for the synthesis of 3D graphene nanocomposites using the improved Hummers' method and subsequently 3D graphene synthesized by the hydrothermal method using glycine. Finally, Fe@Fe2O3/3D-GO composite was synthesized and its properties were assessed by Scanning electron microscopy, Atomic force microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods. Then, the cathode electrode was prepared using the resulting composite and its performance was evaluated using Cyclic Voltammetry analysis. In the final part of this work, the Fe@Fe2O3/3D-GO electrode was used as the cathode electrode in the heterogeneous EF process to remove SU from aqueous solutions. The effect of operating parameters such as applied current (mA), initial pH of solution, initial pharmaceutical concentration (mg L-1) and process time (min) on pharmaceutical removal efficiency under heterogeneous EF process was investigated by response surface methodology. The results showed that the optimum values for applied current, pH, initial pharmaceutical concentration and electrolysis time were respectively 300 mA, 7, 30 mg L-1 and 100 min, resulting 99.60% of SU removal. Finally, the intermediates of SU degradation were determined by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and the amount of mineralization was determined by total organic carbon analysis. About 5.2% drop in the SU removal efficiency was observed within 8 operational runs.

Abstract
The application of layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterials as catalysts has attracted great interest due to their unique structural features. It also triggered the need to study their fate and behavior in the aquatic environment. In the present study, Zn-Fe nanolayered double hydroxides (Zn-Fe LDHs) were synthesized using a co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses. The toxicity of the home-made Zn-Fe LDHs catalyst was examined by employing a variety of aquatic organisms from different trophic levels, namely the marine photobacterium Vibrio fischeri, the freshwater microalga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, the freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna, and the duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza. From the experimental results, it was evident that the acute toxicity of the catalyst depended on the exposure time and type of selected test organism. Zn-Fe LDHs toxicity was also affected by its physical state in suspension, chemical composition, as well as interaction with the bioassay test medium.

Abstract
Herein, FeCuMg and CrCuMg layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized and their sonophotocatalytic activities toward Acid blue 113 (AB113) were compared. Sonolysis alone (only ultrasound) led to the decolorization efficiency of 13.0 %. A similar result was obtained in the case of the utilization of photolysis alone using a 10-W LED lamp (13.5 %). The adsorption process of AB113 onto both compounds was not efficient to significantly remove the target contaminant. The bandgap energy of 2.54 eV and 2.41 eV was calculated for FeCuMg and CrCuMg LDHs, respectively, indicating relatively higher photocatalytic activity of Cr-incorporated LDH than FeCuMg LDH. The sonophotocatalysis of AB113 (50 mg L-1) over CrCuMg LDH (81.1 %) was more efficient than that of FeCuMg LDH (57.3 %) within the reaction time of 60 min. Intermediate byproducts of the sonophotocatalytic decomposition of organic dye over the as-synthesized tri-metal layered sonophotocatalysts were also identified. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of both LDHs was evaluated by the CFU technique and the MBC and MIC values were determined. The antibacterial assessment confirmed the higher antibacterial activity of CrCuMg LDH than that of FeCuMg LDH against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).

Abstract
This study aims at systematically examining the potential of removing the emerging pollutant sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from aqueous solution under photo-assisted peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation by Fe(ii). The residual SMX was determined by HPLC analysis. The concentration of Fe(ii) ([Fe(ii)]) was monitored during SMX degradation. Fe(ii) and PMS cooperated with each other for faster SMX photodegradation; a relatively lower or higher molar ratio between Fe(ii) and PMS led to lower SMX removal efficiency due to the insufficient radicals or scavenging effect. A fixed reaction ratio of [Fe(ii)]Δ : [PMS]0 with 1.6 : 1 at the first 5 min was detected for reactions with [Fe(ii)]0 ≥ 0.5 mM or [PMS]0 ≤ 0.25 mM. The pH level of around 6.0 was recommended for optimal SMX removal under the treatment process UVA + Fe(ii) + PMS. Six transformation products were detected through UPLC/ESI-MS analysis, and four of the proposed intermediates were newly reported. Concentrations of the intermediates were proposed based on the isoxazole-ring balance and the Beer–Lambert law. Total Organic Carbon (TOC) reduction was mainly attributed to the loss of benzene ring, N–S cleavage, and isoxazole ring opening during SMX degradation. The contributions of reactive species OH˙ and SO4˙− were determined based on quench tests. The acute toxicity of SMX to the rotifers was eliminated after the proposed treatment, demonstrating that the process was effective for SMX treatment and safe to the environment. For the first time, this study systematically revealed the potential, the mechanism and the risk of removing sulfamethoxazole by UV/Fe(II)/peroxymonosulfate.![]()
