Recent advances in the application of metal organic frameworks using in advanced oxidation progresses for pollutants degradation

Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)materials with highly ordered and porous crystalline structure,have excellent performance in advanced oxidation progresses(AOPs)for organic contaminants degradation in water treatment.This review intends to summarize the timely references and insights for the recent advances in MOFs that are used in AOPs.Starting with the preparation methodologies,including conventional hydrothermal method,electrochemical method,sol-gel method,and emerging microwave and ultrasound assisted synthesis methods.Application and mechanism for MOFs using in various AOPs of Fenton-like,photocatalysis,catalytic ozonation,persulfate catalysis and other emerging oxidation methods are emphatically discussed.We hope this review can comprehensively summarize the research and application progress of MOFs in AOPs,deepen the understanding of the catalytic mechanisms.

Study on catalytic mechanisms of Fe_(3)O_(4)-rGO_(x) in three typical advanced oxidation processes for tetracycline hydrochloride degradation

This study explored the catalytic mechanism and performance impacted by the materials ratio of Fe_(3)O_(4)-GO_(x) composites in three typical advanced oxidation processes(AOPs)of O_(3),peroxodisulfate(PDS)and photo-Fenton processes for tetracycline hydrochloride(TCH)degradation.The ratio of GO in the Fe_(3)O_(4)-GO_(x) composites exhibited different trends of degradation capacity in each AOPs based on different mechanisms.Fe_(3)O_(4)-rGO_(20wt%) exhibited the optimum catalytic performance which enhanced the ozone decomposition efficiency from 33.48%(ozone alone)to 51.83%with the major reactive oxygen species(ROS)of O_(2)·-.In PDS and photo-Fenton processes,Fe_(3)O_(4)-rGO_(5wt%) had the highest catalytic performance in PDS and H_(2)O_(2) decomposition for SO_(4)·–,and·OH generation,respectively.Compared with using PDS alone,PDS decomposition rate and TCH degradation rate could be increased by 5.97 and 1.73 times under Fe_(3)O_(4)-rGO_(5wt%) catalysis.In the photo-Fenton system,Fe_(3)O_(4)-rGO_(5wt%) with the best catalyst performance in H_(2)O_(2) decomposition,and TCH degradation rate increased by 2.02 times compared with blank group.Meantime,the catalytic mechanisms in those systems of that the ROS produced by conversion between Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+)were also analyzed.

Recent Highlights of Chinese Medicine for Advanced Lung Cancer

Owing to its unique superiority in improving quality of life and prolonging survival time among advanced lung cancer patients, Chinese medicine（CM） has, in recent years, received increased attentions worldwide. We utilized a bibliometric statistical method based on MEDLINE/Go Pub Med to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current application status of CM in lung cancer, by including annual and accumulated publications, origin distribution of countries and journals, and keywords with a higher frequency score. Then the relevant clinical trials and mechanistic studies were systematically summarized within the field according to research types. We have raised potential problems and provided potentially useful reference information that could guide similar studies in the future. The basic experimental results are highly consistent with clinical trials, leading us to conclude that CM can offer better overall therapeutic benefits when used in combination with routine Western medicine for patients with advanced lung cancer.
