Anthropogenic activities have disrupted the natural nitrogen cycle, increasing the level of
nitrogen contaminants in water. Nitrogen contaminants are harmful to humans and the …

Ammonia is not only an important raw material for industry and agriculture but also a carbon-
free energy carrier with high energy density. Traditional ammonia synthesis relies on the …

Abstract Nitrate (NO 3−) is widely found in wastewater, which is harmful to human health and
water environmental. Electrochemical reduction can convert NO 3− to high value-added …

There has been much interest in developing protein adsorbents using nanostructured
particles, which can be engineered porous materials with fine control of the surface and pore …

Anaerobic digestion of furfural wastewater suffers from toxicity to microbes, which reduces its
performance. The toxic effects may be eliminated by a sustainable way of conductive …

Herein, waste-derived copper (Cu) flakes have been used as heterogeneous catalysts for
the solvent-free and one-pot reductive acetamidation of nitroarenes. Metallic copper flakes (f …

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction has been identified as a promising technology for green
ammonia production, allowing the conversion of harmful nitrate from wastewater into …

Direct electrochemical oxidation is a green, clean and promising process for the treatment of
ammonia nitrogen (NH 4+-N) wastewater. Nevertheless, drawbacks of slow reaction kinetics …

Breaking down lignin into smaller units is the key to generate high value‐added products.
Nevertheless, dissolving this complex plant polyphenol in an environment‐friendly way is …

Research towards the production of renewable chemicals for fuel and energy industries has
found lignin valorization as key. With a high carbon content and aromaticity, a fine-tuning of …
