Graphitic-C3N4 quantum dots (g-C3N4QDs), which can be prepared by top-down and bottom-up synthesis, exhibit excellent optical features. They can act as different roles during the photo(electro)catalytic removal of organic pollutants.

Cyclodextrin played an important role in environmental protection in recent years.Application of cyclodextrins in enviroment science upon aspects;enrichment and removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals from soil,water,and atmosphere. β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) can be linked when it was sulfonation-modified.A convenient method of photocatalytic degradation of pesticide in lab by self-designed photocatalytic equipment was proposed based on analysis and comparison of different methods used to determine pesticide. The effects of illumination,reaction time,and pesticide concentration were analyzed. The results showed that the photodegradation of monocrotophes increased 2.08-2.86 times in the presence of 20g/L and 40g/L sulfonated β-cyclodextrin.In addition,the photodegradation of omethoate increased 1.8-2.2 times in the presence of 40g/L sulfonated β-cyclodextrin. The light activation were caused by the formaton of inclusion complexes of monocrotophes with sulfonated β-cyclodextrin. It was found that the method was simple and paid lower costs; and it could be used in lab for the photo-catalytic degradation of pesticide.

AbstractPhysical and chemical methods have been developed for water and wastewater treatments. Adsorption is an attractive method due to its simplicity and low cost, and it has been widely employed in industrial treatment. In advanced schemes, chemical oxidation and photocatalytic oxidation have been recognized as effective methods for wastewater-containing organic compounds. The use of magnetic iron oxide in these methods has received much attention. Magnetic iron oxide nanocomposite adsorbents have been recognized as favorable materials due to their stability, high adsorption capacities, and recoverability, compared to conventional sorbents. Magnetic iron oxide nanocomposites have also been reported to be effective in photocatalytic and chemical oxidation processes. The current review has presented recent developments in techniques using magnetic iron oxide nanocomposites for water treatment applications. The review highlights the synthesis method and compares modifications for adsorbent, photocatalytic oxidation, and chemical oxidation processes. Future prospects for the use of nanocomposites have been presented.
