Abstract
Water pollution and the global energy crisis are two significant challenges that the world is facing today. Ultrasound-assisted synthesis offers a simple, versatile, and green synthetic tool for nanostructured materials that are often unavailable by traditional synthesis. Furthermore, the integration of ultrasound and photocatalysis has recently received considerable interest due to its potential for environmental remediation as a low-cost, efficient, and environmentally friendly technique. The underlying principles and mechanisms of sonophotocatalysis, including enhanced mass transfer, improved catalyst-pollutant interaction, and reactive species production have been discussed. Various organic pollutants as dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and emerging organic pollutants are targeted based on their improved sonophotocatalytic degradation efficiency. Additionally, the important factors affecting sonophotocatalytic processes and the advantages and challenges associated with these processes are discussed. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of sono-assisted synthesis and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and prospects for progress in this field.

Abstract
The effective discrimination and determination of the chiral antimalarial drugs quinine (QN) and quinidine (QD) are extremely important for human health. Herein, a 2D achiral Sm-based metal-organic framework (IMU-MOF1 = [Sm(tpba)(L)]n, where Htpba = 4-(2,2':6″,2'-terpyridin)-4'-ylbenzioc acid and H2L = 2,2'-biquinoline-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) was successfully prepared by the solvothermal method. More importantly, IMU-MOF1 was designed as an ultrasensitive fluorescent probe for the identification of chiral enantiomer drugs. The limits of detection for QN and QD are 4.24 × 10-11 and 7.54 × 10-12 M, respectively. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the stronger hydrogen-bonding interactions between IMU-MOF1 and quinine furnish a more efficient energy transfer to the ligands in the sensing process, resulting in a significant fluorescence enhancement of IMU-MOF1.

Abstract
Three specific catalysts, namely ZIF-67 (zeolitic imidazolate framework-67), Co@NCF (Co@Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Framework), and 3D NCF (Three-Dimensional Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Framework), were prepared and studied for pulp and paper mill effluent degradation using heterogeneous activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Numerous characterizations, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and N2 adsorption, were used to characterize the properties of three different catalysts. 3D NCF is remarkably effective at heterogeneous activation of PMS to generate sulfate radicals to degrade pulp and paper mill effluent (PPME) compared to the other as-prepared catalysts. The catalytic activity reveals a sequence of 3D NCF > Co@NCF > ZIF-67.3D NCF could degrade organic pollutants in 30 min at an initial COD concentration of 1146 mg/L of PPME, 0.2 g/L catalysts, 2 g/L PMS, and 50 °C. Consequently, it was observed that the degradation of PPME using 3D NCF followed first-order kinetics, with an activation energy of 40.54 kJ mol-1. Overall, 3D NCF/PMS system reveals promising performance for PPME removal.

Abstract
Although metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a viable choice for photocatalysts with large surface area and tunable pore structure, the rapid recombination of excited photogenerated charges results in low activity towards photodegradation. Aiming at improving the photocatalytic activities of MOFs, different strategies to incorporate MOF with light-harvesting semiconductors have been developed. In this research, we report an effective photocatalyst designed by incorporating Cu-MOF with ZnO for the photocatalytic degradation of Rose Bengal exhibiting excellent degradation efficiency of 97.4% in 45 min under natural sunlight with catalyst dosage of 320 mg/L. The optical, morphology and surface characteristics of the prepared nanocomposite were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet diffused reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS) techniques. Further studies showed that the degradation followed first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.077869 min-1. The degradation mechanism was investigated by photoluminescence (PL) study, XPS, zeta potential and quenching experiment in presence of different scavengers. Meanwhile, the fabricated composite displayed good recovery and reuse properties up to 5 cycles as revealed by XRD analysis proving itself a potential MOF-based photocatalyst towards environmental remediation process.

Abstract
Photocatalysis, as an amenable and effective process, can be adopted for pollution remediation and to alleviate the ongoing energy crisis. In this case, recently, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted increasing attention in the field of photocatalysis owning to their unique characteristics including large specific surface area, tuneable pore architecture, mouldable framework composition, tuneable band structure, and exceptional photon absorption tendency complimented with superior anti-recombination of excitons. Among the plethora of frameworks, inner transition metal based-MOFs (IT-MOFs) have started to garner significant traction as photocatalysts due to their distinct characteristics compared to conventional transition metal-based frameworks. Typically, IT-MOFs have the tendency to generate high nuclearity clusters and possess abundant Lewis acidic sites, together with mixed valency, which aids in easily converting redox couples, thereby making them a suitable candidate for various photocatalytic reactions. Therefore, in this contribution, we aim to summarise the excellent photocatalytic performance of IT-MOFs and their composites accompanied by a thorough discussion of their topological changes with a variation in the structure of the metal cluster, fabrication routes, morphological features, and physico-chemical properties together with a brief discussion of computational findings. Moreover, we attempt to explore the scientific understanding of the functionalities of IT-MOFs and their composites with detailed mechanistic pathways for in-depth clarity towards photocatalysis. Furthermore, we present a comprehensive analysis of IT-MOFs for various crucial photocatalytic applications such as H2/O2 evolution, organic pollutant degradation, organic transformation, and N2 and CO2 reduction. In addition, we discuss the measures employed to enhance their performance with some future directions to address the challenges with IT-MOF-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
CdS/ZnO nanosheets heterostructures ((x)CdS/ZNs) with different mole ratios of Cd/Zn ((x) = 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6) were synthesized by the impregnation-calcination method. PXRD patterns showed that the (100) diffraction of ZNs was the most significant in the (x)CdS/ZNs heterostructures, and it confirmed that CdS nanoparticles (in cubic phase) occupied the (101) and (002) crystal facets of ZNs with hexagonal wurtzite crystal phase. UV-Vis DRS results indicated that CdS nanoparticles decreased the band gap energy of ZNs (2.80-2.11 eV) and extended the photoactivity of ZNs to the visible light region. The vibrations of ZNs were not observed clearly in the Raman spectra of (x)CdS/ZNs due to the extensive coverage of CdS nanoparticles shielding the deeper-laying ZNs from Raman response. The photocurrent of (0.4) CdS/ZNs photoelectrode reached 33 μA, about 82 times higher than that for ZNs (0.4 μA, 0.1 V vs Ag/AgCl). The formation of an n-n junction at the (0.4) CdS/ZNs reduced the recombination of electron-hole pairs and increased the degradation performance of the as-prepared (0.4) CdS/ZNs heterostructure. The highest percentage removal of tetracycline (TC) in the sonophotocatalytic/photocatalytic processes was obtained by (0.4) CdS/ZNs under visible light. The quenching tests showed that O2•-, h+, and OH• were the main active species in the degradation process. The degradation percentage decreased negligibly in the sonophotocatalytic (84%-79%) compared to the photocatalytic (90%-72%) process after four re-using runs due to the presence of ultrasonic waves. For the estimation of degradation behavior, two machine learning methods were applied. The comparison between the ANN and GBRT models evidenced that both models had high prediction accuracy and could be used for predicting and fitting the experimental data of the %removal of TC. The excellent sonophotocatalytic/photocatalytic performance and stability of the fabricated (x)CdS/ZNs catalysts made them promising candidates for wastewater purification.

Abstract
The emergence of new diseases and the unplanned industrialization of cities have led to new diseases and the subsequent use of antibiotics. Hence the remediation of wastewater containing antibiotics and their severe pollution has raised serious concerns in recent years. Herein coral-shaped α-Fe2O3/ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (r-GO)-like carbon heterojunction in-situ were prepared from basil seed as a sustainable biomass resource and applied for the photodegradation of the oxytetracycline (OTC) as a typical antibiotic in a helical plug flow photoreactor (HPFPR) via persulfate activation under visible light irradiation. Spectroscopy and electrochemical results confirmed the tunable band structure and quick light absorption, superior charge separation and transfer, satisfactory charge carrier lifetime, and long-term stability for the prepared photocatalyst. The 98% degradation efficiency was achieved for OTC within 90 min fitted by a first-order kinetic model with the rate constant of 0.1248 min-1. The finding proves that HPFPR exhibited a higher degradation rate of OTC by 2.3 times compared to the batch reactor. The 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model confirmed the outstanding performance of the HPFPR. Scavenging experiments integrated with mott Schottky and DRS results revealed that rGO intensifies the S-scheme charge carrier transfer and built-in electric field and reduces the recombination. Finally, this work has substantial potential for the in-situ synthesis of environmental-friendly and large-scale metal oxide heterojunctions in natural carbon supports as well as scale-up and gives novel insights from molecular and engineering points of view into the wastewater remediation processes and clean water production.

Abstract
A novel slant perforated mesh-plate photoreactor (SPPR) was designed and fabricated. The central assembly of SPPR was an array of slant perforated mesh-plate coated with TiO2 (P25). The performance of SPPR in water detoxification was evaluated with regard to the degradation of phenol as the target pollutant. The effects of slant plate tilt angle (α) and perforated plate opening aperture diameter on SPPR performance were investigated and analyzed. The photocatalytic performance of SPPR increased with decreasing α. The SPPR with an α of 15° and a pore size of 1 mm showed the best performance with 9.17 h required to reach 80% of phenol degradation (4-L, initial concentration: 15 mg/L). The mass transfer was introduced into the kinetic reaction model, and mass transfer coefficients were calculated for SPPRs with different structures. Flow rate and initial pollutant concentration were investigated for their effects on degradation efficiency. In addition, the activity of SPPR under natural sunlight has also been tested to explore its potential to be applied in practice.

Abstract
The synergistic effect between transition metal active centers and the generation of multiple removal pathways has a significant impact on the catalytic activation efficiency of peroxymonosulfate. In this work, a kind of composite catalyst was prepared by growing VCo-metal-organic frameworks (VCo-MOF) in-situ on the surface of Ti3C2Tx by a solvothermal method. The morphology and structure are characterized by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Energy Dispersion Spectrum (EDS), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), etc. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the experimental conditions. Only 5 mg catalyst can be used to effectively activate PMS and remove 96.14 % ciprofloxacin (CIP, 20 mg/L) within 30 min. The removal effect of catalyst on CIP in different actual water environment was explored. In addition, the fluorescence spectrum test also verified the effective removal of ciprofloxacin. V-Co-Ti ternary system provides a wealth of active sites for CIP removal. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and lear sweep voltammetry (LSV) tests showed the existence of the electron transfer pathway. The results of density functional theory (DFT) calculation show that VCo-MOF@Ti3C2Tx has excellent adsorption and activation ability for PMS. At the same time, the hydrophilicity of the catalyst makes PMS more inclined to react with water molecules, which promotes the formation of a unique superoxide radical path.

A new Mg-doped Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 (Mg-FZN) photocatalyst was synthesised using a simple co-precipitation-doping technique to develop a dual-function material with the ability to degrade hazardous and refractory pollutants and inactivate bacterial strains. The characterization results revealed that Mg-FZN is an n-type semiconductor with a conduction band of -0.413 eV, an average pore width of 2.32 nm, and a crystal size of 31.45 nm. The photocatalytic activity of Mg-FZN was assessed based on the degradation of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol and achieved 83.8% degradation efficiency under optimised conditions. The radical quenching results revealed that h+ significantly contributed to the photodegradation process while •OH, and •O2- played key roles. Additionally, within 60 min, 25 mg of Mg-FZN had bactericidal effects on the bacteria E. coli and S. aureus in both the presence and absence of UV light. Mg-FZN showed H-bonding, electrostatic, and metal-contact interactions with the amino acid residues of the bacterial protein with high binding scores (-4.711 kcal/mol and -5.872 kcal/mol), according to molecular docking.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysis was used for the removal of two widely used organophosphorus pesticides, dichlorvos, and malathion from water. Graphene oxide-TiO2 nanocomposite (GOT) was synthesized and used as a photocatalyst for the removal of these pesticides. Batch studies for optimizing photocatalytic degradation and mineralization of pesticides over 80 min were conducted by varying the pH (2-10), catalyst dose (20 mg/L-200 mg/L), and initial pesticide concentration (0.5 mg/L-20 mg/L), and the irradiation source (125 W UV and visible lamp). Degradation kinetics for the pesticides were evaluated. Ellman assay was used to estimate the toxic effect of pesticides and evaluate toxicity reduction due to treatment. The highest degradation and mineralization of dichlorvos and malathion was observed at pH 6 and the optimum catalyst dose was 60 mg/L. Under UV irradiation, 80% and 90% degradation were observed for dichlorvos and malathion, respectively for 0.5 mg/L initial pesticide concentration. The photocatalytic degradation reaction followed Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics. A high degree of mineralization was achieved for both the pesticides. Analysis of the results revealed that the residual toxic effect after photocatalysis was primarily due to the residual parent compound. A comparative study revealed that GOT yielded better pesticide degradation compared to commercially available TiO2 under both UV and visible irradiation.

Abstract
Bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) has appeared as a popular candidate in photocatalysis field but is plagued by its poor visible light harvesting and low carriers-flow steering inherited from wide band gap. Integration of doping and heterojunction engineering into the bulk has proven to be an optimal and generally applied method for enabling excellent photocatalytic activity. Nevertheless, the previous reported BiOCl-based photocatalysts fabricated by the above strategies are still suffered from harsh synthesis process, poor interface stability and narrow application area. Here, we introduce a facile one-pot hydrothermal strategy to achieve in-situ growth of TaON as a medium on the surface of Bi2O3 and S-doped BiOCl (denoted as S-BiOCl) for constructing ternary TaON/Bi2O3/S-BiOCl heterostructures, which were obtained by the simultaneous coprecipitation and ripening process. Current investigation suggests that such a unique TaON/Bi2O3/S-BiOCl exhibits a relatively much higher photocatalytic activity for visible light-driven removal of rhodamine B (RhB), tetracycline (TC) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) than those of hybrid Bi2O3/S-BiOCl and pristine S-BiOCl. It is ascribed to the synergetic effect on the introduction of S dopant level in BiOCl lattice as well as the construction of intimate double heterointerfaces among Bi2O3, TaON and S-BiOCl, which endows the TaON/Bi2O3/S-BiOCl photocatalysts with considerable advantages for highly elevating photocatalytic performances, such as the intensive optical absorption, high redox potential as well as high-efficient photocharge separation originated from type-I and Z-scheme pathways. This work delivers novel insights for design and one-pot preparation of high-active BiOX (X = Cl, Br and I)-based photocatalysts towards organic dye and antibiotic removal in the future research.

Abstract
The presence of antibiotics in wastes and drinking water has led to serious environmental and health concerns, further necessitating the development of an advanced sustainable strategy to eliminate antibiotics from aquatic media. In this context, the present research reports the successful fabrication of a spinning disc photoreactor (SDPR) supported ZnO/Ag/WO3 S-scheme visible-light-driven thin-film photocatalyst to study the degradation of cephalexin (CPX) as a target pollutant under blue light irradiation. The optical, electrochemical and physicochemical characterization of the as-prepared thin-film samples were carried out by XRD, top-view FE-SEM, EDS-mapping, UV-Vis-DRS, contact angle, EIS, transient photocurrent, mott Schottky and AFM techniques. The rod shape morphology of the samples with moderate surface roughness, desirable hydrophobicity, low bandgap and remarkable band structure alignment confirmed the applicability of as-prepared thin-film with an average photon flux of 1.94 × 10-4-8.61 × 10-5 E's m-2 s-1. The use of a rotating catalytic disc impressively declined the photon propagation distance, decremented the probability of light absorption by the solution, and intensified the mass transfer rate. The maximum throughputs of 98.8% efficiencies for CPX degradation were achieved at a rotational speed of 180 rpm, the solution flow rate of 1.0 L min-1, the light intensity of 11 mW cm-2, and initial CPX concentration of 40 mg L-1, illumination time of 80 min, and pH of 6. Damkohler number (Da) value was found to be 1.23 × 10-2 at the optimum conditions, indicating the negligibility of the external mass transfer resistance in the SDPR. The photocatalytic mechanism was elucidated for finding the most operative radical species, suggesting the crucial role of ·O2- in photodegradation of CPX and a drastic improvement of the charge separation by S-scheme heterostructure and facilitation by Ag mediator. Findings indicated that the developed reusable and robust SDPR benefited from an s-scheme photocatalyst can be a promising technology for degradation of the organic compounds.

Abstract
Zr(CUR)/NiCo2S4/CuCo2S4 and Zr(CUR)/CuCo2S4/Ag2S ternary composites were synthesized as efficient photocatalysts, and well characterized through XRD, FTIR, DRS, FE-SEM, EDS, and EDS mapping techniques. The potential of a spiral-shaped photocatalytic reactor was evaluated for degradation of the methyl parathion (MP) pesticide using synthesized photocatalysts under visible light irradiation. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was applied for analysis of the hydrodynamics behaviour and mass transport occurring inside the reactor. The experiments were performed based on a developed CCD-RSM model, while the desirability function (DF) was used for optimization of the process. Findings showed that the highest MP degradation percentage was 98.70% at optimal operating values including 20 mg L-1, 0.60 g L-1, 8 and 40 min for MP concentration, catalyst dosage, pH, and reaction time, respectively. This study clearly demonstrated that high degradation efficiency can be achieved using a spiral-shaped photocatalytic reactor rather than a traditional annular reactor at same conditions. The increase in reaction rate is related to the higher average turbulence kinetic energy in the spiral-shaped reactor over the traditional reactor, which results in the increased diffusivity and improves the mass and momentum transfer.

Abstract
S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts with strong redox ability and excellent photocatalytic activity are highly desired for photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. Herein, S-scheme Bi2WO6/CoIn2S4 heterojunctions were synthesized using hydrothermal method. The photo-induced carriers transfer mechanism of the S-scheme Bi2WO6/CoIn2S4 heterojunction was clarified by band structure analysis, ultraviolet photoelectron spectrometer (UPS), electron spin resonance (ESR) and radical trapping experiments. Significant enhance of light absortion, and more efficient carriers separation were observed from the Bi2WO6/CoIn2S4 with CoIn2S4 nanoclusters growing on the surface of petal-like Bi2WO6 nanosheets. TC degradation efficiency of 90% was achieved by Bi2WO6/CoIn2S4 (15:1) within 3 h of irradiation, and ·O2-and ·OH radicals were dominated contributors. Possible decomposition pathways of TC were proposed, and ECOSAR analysis showed that most of the intermediates exhibited lower ecotoxicity than TC. This work provides reference on the constructing ternary-metal-sulfides-based S-scheme heterojunctions for improving photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
The use of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) for veterinary, human therapy, and agriculture has risen in the past few decades, making it to become one of the most exploited antibiotics. However, TCH residue in the environment is causing issues related to the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. To address such a problem, photodegradation offers a potential solution to decompose these pollutants in wastewater and thereby mitigates negative environmental impacts. In this context, the research focuses on the use of the rare-earth metal oxide samarium orthovanadate (SmVO4) with nanorod structure, coupled with UiO-66-NH2 for the photocatalytic degradation. Their photocatalytic activity to degrade antibiotic TCH molecules is explored under simulated solar light irradiation. The integration of UiO-66-NH2 with SmVO4 enhanced the light absorption, recombination resistance, carrier lifetime (from 0.382 to 0.411 ns) and specific surface area (from 67.17 to 246 m2/g) of the composite system as confirmed from multiple analyses. The obtained results further indicated that SmVO4/UiO-66-NH2 nanocomposites could form a direct Z-scheme based heterojunction. Such mechanism of charge transfer leads to the effective degradation of TCH molecules up to 50% in 90 min under solar light, while it is degraded only 30% in the case of bare-SmVO4 nanorods. In this work, the incorporation of UiO-66-NH2 positively influences photoelectrochemical properties and improves the overall photoredox properties of SmVO4 for the degradation of complex compounds like antibiotic TCH molecules. Therefore, UiO-66-NH2 can be proposed as an effective material to sensitize the rare-earth based photocatalytic material.

Abstract
It is well known that both of the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers and the response capability to visible light remarkably affect the photocatalytic performance. In the present work, a 3D microsphere of Bi5O7I/BiOCl heterojunction catalyst was synthetised. The synergy of Bi5O7I and BiOCl not only significantly enhances the transfer rate and separation efficiency of carriers, but also heightens light absorption capacity. As-prepared Bi5O7I/BiOCl (40 wt% BiOCl) has a higher degradation efficiency on doxycycline hydrochloride (DC) (90 min, 83.0%) and super high inhibition rate (90 min, 99.92%) on Escherichia coli under visible light, compared to the two monomers. Pollutants DC is finally decomposed into CO2, H2O and small molecule intermediates by generated h+, •OH and •O2-. The effects of reactive radicals follow the order of •OH radicals > h+ radicals ≫ •O2- and e- radicals. The possible structures of intermediates and four possible degradation pathways involved were also discussed. In addition, As-synthetised Bi5O7I/BiOCl has preferable reusability and excellent chemical stability. Biological toxicity experiments also verify that Bi5O7I/BiOCl is a green and environmentally friendly composite material. This strategy provides a green, low-toxic way for the application of traditional type II heterojunction in the fields of environmental remediation and photocatalysis.

Abstract
The spoilage of fruit is one of the most important causes of fruit waste. High humidity by fresh fruit respiration leads to bacterial reproduction, which is the key factor of products corruption. Herein, a biological multifunctional film (Cur-HKUST-1@CMS/PVA) for fruits preservation with a high moisture environment was developed by cross-linking carboxymethyl starch (CMS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with MOF-199 (HKUST-1), and loaded with curcumin. The hydrophilic CMS facilitates water adsorption and moisture can stimulate curcumin release from HKUST-1. HKUST-1 not only acts as curcumin carriers but also forms synergistic antibacterial with curcumin to improve the antibacterial activity of the composites. XRD and SEM demonstrated that moisture disrupts the structure of HKUST-1 and releases curcumin and the results showed that the release of curcumin increased from 25.11 % to 58.32 % after moisture stimulation. In addition, Cur-HKUST-1@CMS/PVA had excellent antibacterial activity and antioxidant ability. As validation, the film can keep pitaya and avocado freshness at least 4 days longer than the control, confirming the effectiveness of Cur-HKUST-1@CMS/PVA in preventing fruit decay. Consequently, Cur-HKUST-1@CMS/PVA is a promising active packaging material for improve the shelf life of perishable fruits.

Abstract
The environmental and health issues of drinking water and effluents released into nature are among the major area of contention in the past few decades. With the growth of ultrasound-based approaches in water and wastewater treatment, promising materials have also been considered to employ their advantages. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are among the porous materials that have received great attention from researchers in recent years. Features such as high porosity, large specific surface area, electronic properties like semi-conductivity, and the capacity to coordinate with the organic matter have resulted in a substantial increase in scientific researches. This work deals with a comprehensive review of the application of MOFs for ultrasonic-assisted pollutant removal from wastewater. In this regard, after considering features and synthesis methods of MOFs, the mechanisms of several ultrasound-based approaches including sonocatalysis, sonophotocatalysis, and sono-adsorption are well assessed for removal of different organic compounds by MOFs. These methods are compared with some other water treatment processes with the application of MOFs in the absence of ultrasound. Also, the main concern about MOFs including environmental hazards and water stability is fully discussed and some techniques are proposed to reduce hazardous effects of MOFs and improve stability in humid/aqueous environments. Economic aspects for the preparation of MOFs are evaluated and cost estimates for ultrasonic-assisted AOP approaches were provided. Finally, the future outlooks and the new frontiers of ultrasonic-assisted methods with the help of MOFs in global environmental pollutant removal are presented.

Abstract
Arsenic contamination of the environment is a serious health hazard due to its toxicity and carcinogenic effects thus demanding developed and robust removal methodologies. In this study, bentonite/chitosan/titania (BT/CS-TiO2) was developed to boost photo-oxidation/adsorption efficiency while providing a low-cost and potential heterostructured platform for arsenic removal from aqueous media. Under UV irradiation, BT/CS-TiO2 heterostructured exhibited the desired capability (97%) of boosting oxidize toxic AsIII to minor toxic AsV. Results confirmed that •OH radicals available at TiO2 sites under UV light played a critical role in the proposed photo-oxidation process of AsIII. BT/CS exhibited a high adsorption capacity (160 mg g-1) for AsV removal due to its electrostatic interaction and surface complexation. Additionally, BT/CS-TiO2 heterostructured showed satisfactory recyclability with no considerable interferences in the presence of coexisting anions due to the suitability of the valence band position of TiO2 for the oxidation of AsIII as well as the presence of CS into BT layers. Thereby, the findings revealed that impregnation of TiO2 in BT/CS is a promising approach for arsenic removal.
