Attachment effects of six carrier materials on the cultivation of high-value microalga Scenedesmus sp. LX1 in diluted swine wastewater were investigated. The results showed that when the initial algal densities were 5×105 cells/ml and 1×106 cells/ml in sterilized wastewater with 20-fold...

Metal-carbon composite materials have been regarded as emerging catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation by combining the advantages of both parties. Nevertheless, these novel catalysts usually face the side effect of the complex water matrix, and the PMS activation mechanism need to be...
