To enhance the hydrophobicity and selectivity for removal of oil in water, PCA was coated with Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) by facile dip‐coating method. The as‐prepared hydrophobic PDMS‐coated pomelo peel carbon aerogel (PDMS/PCA) exhibits the water resistance ability via the water contact angle of 101.6 o and good adsorption capacity of 11.672 and 7.691 g/g for used cooking and lubricating oils, respectively. Furthermore, the pseudo‐first‐order and pseudo‐second‐order models were approached to predict the adsorption behavior of PDMS/PCA for both used cooking and lubricating oils.

Quantum properties were examined using density functional theory (DFT). The inhibitability of the drugs towards Angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease (6LU7) was evaluated by molecular docking simulation, while their bio‐compatibility was justified by physicochemical properties obtained from QSARIS‐based analysis in reference to Lipinski's rule of five. Quantum analysis suggests that the compounds are highly favourable for intermolecular interaction towards protein structures. Given ligand‐ACE2 systems, the inhibitory effectiveness follows the order D3‐ACE2 > D4‐ACE2 > D2‐ACE2 > D5‐ACE2 > D1‐ACE2; and the corresponding order for ligand‐6LU7 systems is D2‐6LU7 > D4‐6LU7 > D3‐6LU7 > D5‐6LU7 > D1‐6LU7.

The effects of the catalytic system, initial solution pH, and catalyst and PMS dose on the degradation efficiency of glyphosate were investigated. The results indicated that after 6 min the CuCoFe‐LDH/PMS system can degrade 99.54 % of glyphosate (100 mg/L) using 100 mg/L of CuCoFe‐LDH, 200 mg/L of PMS, and pH 11. In addition, radical quenching experiments prove that the reactive oxygen species (e.g., SO 4 ●‐ , HO ● , O 2 ●– , and 1 O 2 ) are formed and SO 4 ●‐ plays a decisive role in glyphosate degradation.
