Catalytic Degradation of 4-Ethylpyridine in Water by Heterogeneous Photo-Fenton Process
( MDPI , 2019 , Article)In this work, the degradation of 4-ethylpyridine (4EP) in water by a heterogeneous photo-Fenton process (H2O2/Fe3O4/ultraviolet irradiation (UV)) was investigated. More rapid and effective 4EP degradation was obtained with ... -
Criticality measures for components with multi-dimensional degradation
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2014 , Article)Failures of engineering structures and equipment are often attributed to the failure of a single component. Hence, it is important to identify critical components in a system and understand how a component's criticality ... -
Effect of poly(ε-caprolactone) and titanium (IV) dioxide content on the UV and hydrolytic degradation of poly(lactic acid)/poly(ε-caprolactone) blends
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2021 , Article)The effect of accelerated weathering degradation on the properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) blends and PLA/PCL/titanium (IV) dioxide (TiO2) nanocomposites are presented in this paper. The results ... -
Improved photocatalytic decomposition of methyl ethyl ketone gas from indoor air environment by using TiO2/graphene oxide
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2019 , Article)This study investigates the potential application of synthesized TiO2-graphene (Ti/GO) for the decomposition of methyl ethyl ketone (MEKT) in an indoor air environment. XRD and UV-vis studies on the materials confirmed ... -
Insights into the degradation mechanism of PET and PP under marine conditions using FTIR
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Plastics possess diverse functional properties that have made them extremely desirable. However, due to poor waste management practices, large quantities eventually end up in the oceans where their degradation begins. ... -
Mineralization of Riluzole by Heterogeneous Fenton Oxidation Using Natural Iron Catalysts
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Fenton (H2O2/Fe2+) system is a simple and efficient advanced oxidation technology (AOT) for the treatment of organic micropollutants in water and soil. However, it suffers from some drawbacks including high amount of the ... -
Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed PLA/PHBV biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler
( Wiley Periodicals, Inc. , 2015 , Article)The morphology and thermal stability of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) blends and nanocomposites with small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. PLA/PHBV at 50/50 ... -

Removal of volatile sulfur compounds by solar advanced oxidation technologies and bioprocesses
( Elsevier Ltd , 2016 , Article)The degradations of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) by advanced oxidation technology, solar advanced oxidation technology, biological treatment, and the combination of solar advanced oxidation technology and biological ... -
A review of bipolar plates materials and graphene coating degradation mechanism in proton exchange membrane fuel cell
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2022 , Article Review)Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have the perception to strongly reduce global emissions through an environmentally friendly perspective. Graphene has drawn global attention and has positioned itself as a ... -
Solar light responsive TiO2-ZnO, modified with graphitic carbon nitride nano-sheet for degradation of AB29
( John Wiley and Sons Ltd , 2020 , Article)BACKGROUND Photodegradation has drawn much attention in recent decades due to the technique’s ability to mineralize nonbiodegradable pollutants. Renewable energy sources, such as solar light energy, can be used to aid the ...
