The photocatalytic activity of the nanowires was then evaluated through the reduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) to trivalent chromium (Cr(III)). Rapid Cr(VI) reduction was observed for CuO nanowires formed at 500 °C, attributed to the higher nanowires’ density at this temperature.

This study presents the first comprehensive assessment of cigarette butt litter on terrestrial urban streets in Tubod, Iligan City, Philippines. Field observations were conducted from October to November 2022, between 12:00 and 5:00 p.m. Philippine Standard Time, using a modified visual survey method adapted to local conditions. A total of 11,306 cigarette butts were collected across all 41 surveyed sites, corresponding to a mean litter density of 0.083 ± 0.090 items per square meter. The street area exhibited only a modest explanatory effect on cigarette butt accumulation at the pooled level (coefficient of determination = 0.38), with residual diagnostics indicating heteroscedasticity and non-normality. Disaggregated analyses revealed that residential streets showed a statistically significant relationship, whereas commercial, institutional, and mixed-use streets exhibited weak relationships. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed that cigarette filters are composed of cellulose triacetate, a durable polymer with long environmental persistence. The spatial distribution patterns indicate a predominantly linear consumption-to-disposal pathway, with filters discarded directly at points of use. Accordingly, the study proposes context-specific mitigation measures, including optimized placement of butt-specific receptacles in high-activity streets, targeted enforcement of anti-littering ordinances, and pilot-scale recovery integrated into municipal and informal waste systems.

Despite extensive research on carbonaceous materials in advanced oxidation processes, challenges such as low activation efficiency and limited reusability hinder their large-scale application. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the catalytic mechanisms of non-metallic carbon materials in advanced oxidation processes is crucial for optimizing their performance. In this study, nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes are investigated as effective activators of periodate for the degradation of sulfisoxazole which is a sulfonamide antibiotic and a potential carcinogenic frequently detected in wastewater. Experimental results of this study demonstrated that under optimized conditions nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes/periodate system attained 100% sulfisoxazole elimination efficiency within 20 min, with the apparent degradation rate increasing by up to 3.5 times as the nitrogen doping level increased. Comprehensive mechanistic studies involving quenching experiments, chemical probe analysis and electron paramagnetic resonance revealed two fundamental degradation pathways: 1) a radical pathway in which the graphitic nitrogen sites on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes significantly activated periodate to produce hydroxyl radicals and 2) a non-radical pathway, facilitated by structural defects of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes that mediate direct electron transfer between sulfisoxazole and periodate and continue to oxidize sulfisoxazole. This study highlights the potential of N-doped carbon nanotubes to enhance periodate-based oxidation and furnishes critical insights for the rational design of carbon-based catalysts in environmental remediation applications.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"23 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13762-026-07154-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147606991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of gas flow rate, initial concentration, soil particle size and persulfate (PS) dosage on the degradation efficiency of ATZ in soil were discussed. The experimental results showed that the degradation efficiency of ATZ in soil was the best after 1 mmol/L PS was 77.57%, which was 20.31% higher than that of DBD alone.
