Plastics in the environment can be degraded and even broken into pieces under the action
of natural factors, and the degraded products with a particle size of less than 5 mm are …

The outcomes of this research offer novel insights into the toxic effects of nanoparticles (ie,
nanoplastics or other nanomaterials) on the benthos. Herein, this study aimed to evaluate …

Easily recyclable photocatalysts have received considerable attention for their practical
application, in order to address the wastewater treatments. Here, we report efficient and …

Coagulation is an important defluorination process. However, because of the poor
sedimentation properties, conventional coagulants often result in limited defluorination …

Lacking consolidated qualitative and quantitative analysis methods of Al nanoclusters in
aqueous, the distributions and concentrations of each Al species could not be revealed with …

The occurrence of microplastics (MPs) and even nanoplastics (NPs) in tap water has raised
considerable attention. As a pre-treatment and also the most important process in drinking …

Extending the lifetime of granular activated carbon (GAC) filters with no significant loss in
their effectiveness is a considerable challenge for drinking water supply utilities. However …

The successful preparation and identification of Keggin-structure Fe 13 clusters in recent
