Nowadays, the research on the environmental applications of electrochemistry to remove recalcitrant and priority pollutants and, in particular, drugs from the aqueous phase has increased dramatically. This literature review summarizes the applications of electrochemical oxidation in recent years to decompose pharmaceuticals that are often detected in environmental samples such as carbamazapine, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, diclofenac, ibuprofen, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, etc. Similar to most physicochemical processes, efficiency depends on many operating parameters, while the combination with either biological or other physicochemical methods seems particularly attractive. In addition, various strategies such as using three-dimensional electrodes or the electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide have been proposed to overcome the disadvantages of electrochemical oxidation. Finally, some guidelines are proposed for future research into the applications of environmental electrochemistry for the degradation of xenobiotic compounds and micropollutants from environmental matrices. The main goal of the present review paper is to facilitate future researchers to design their experiments concerning the electrochemical oxidation processes for the degradation of micropollutants/emerging contaminants, especially, some specific drugs considering, also, the existing limitations of each process.

Recent trends in bio technology have resulted in the need for accurate fabrication of pore structure of sophisticated porous materials used in advanced applications such as substrates for tissue growth, and various kinds of implants. Control of pore size is important for promoting growth of blood vessels and adequate fluid flow. In the present study, an attempt has been made to fabricate functionally porous structures using titanium, including an internally controlled three-dimensional (3-D) fractal structure. A novel 3-D modeling method that combines rapid prototyping with spark plasma sintering (SPS) is proposed, which enables us to control the internal porous structure. Titanium powder-tape or sheet is sintered or cut by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser to form 2-D fractal cross-sections. These 2-D layers are temporarily laminated in a carbon mold, being then jointed by the SPS method to maintain the internal porous structure. Process parameters for the sheet lamination method have extensively been investigated.

AbstractThe diffusion of light by random materials is a general phenomenon that appears in many different systems, spanning from colloidal suspension in liquid crystals to disordered metal sponges and paper composed of random fibers. Random scattering is also a key element behind mimicry of several animals, such as white beetles and chameleons. Here, random scattering is related to micro and nanosized spatial structures affecting a broad electromagnetic region. In this work, we have investigated how random scattering modulates the optical properties, from terahertz to ultraviolet light, of a novel functional material, i.e., a three-dimensional graphene (3D Graphene) network based on interconnected high-quality two-dimensional graphene layers. Here, random scattering generates a high-frequency pass-filter behavior. The optical properties of these graphene structures bridge the nanoworld into the macroscopic world, paving the way for their use in novel optoelectronic devices.
