Abstract

In this study, calcite was investigated as an activator for the norfloxacin (NOR) degradation by peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Under optimum conditions, the NOR removal percentage was 99.7% within 60 min, and the pseudo-first-order kinetics effectively described the two-stage oxidation process. The NOR removal percentage improved from 10.4% to 91.5% and the reaction rate constant elevated from 0.0010 to 0.1217 min-1 when 0.5 g/L calcite was added compared to that without calcite addition. Furthermore, the results of radical scavenger and electron spin resonance trapping indicated that the favorable alkaline environment and a proper level of carbonate in the Calcite/PMS system facilitated the activation of PMS to generate 1O2 for rapid NOR degradation. Compared with NaOH, calcite was able to maintain the pH (8-9) of the reaction system stable. Besides, the content of anions with buffering capacity and organic matter in the water matrix influenced the removal percentage of NOR. Seven intermediates were identified and the NOR degradation pathways were suggested. The findings of this research provided an environmentally friendly activator for remediation of organic wastewater and deepened the understanding of the interaction between cal...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
