Cleaning Up Pollution: The Power of Phosphorus in Carbon Fibers

December 25, 2025

Pollution is a big problem, especially when it comes to tough-to-remove chemicals. Scientists have been working on ways to clean up wastewater, and one promising method involves using special carbon fibers. These fibers are doped with phosphorus, which makes them super effective at breaking down pol

How Sunlight and Natural Chemicals Can Clean Up Water

July 5, 2025

In a recent study, scientists found a surprising way to make water cleaner. They used sunlight and a common natural chemical called humic acid to speed up the breakdown of tiny pollutants in water. The study focused on a process where ultraviolet A (UVA) light activates a chemical called periodate (

MXene and MOF: A Power Duo for Pollution Control

February 5, 2025

Imagine chemicals that can break down pollutants in water. That's where MXene and MOF come in. These are super tiny structures, designed specifically to tackle the tough task of activating periodate (PI). PI is a strong oxidizing agent, so it can break down harmful substances in the water. But

Boosting Wastewater Treatment: A Look into Multi-Stage Flow-Through Systems

November 20, 2024

Cleaning up wastewater is a big deal. One way to do it is by using electrochemical flow-through systems. These systems can break down tough pollutants like amoxicillin (AMX) in water. Researchers used a special type of anode made of porous Ti-ENTA/SnO2-Sb to test how well these systems work. They fo
