Antibiotics are among the most critical environmental pollutant drug groups. One of the methods used to remove this pollution is adsorption. In this study, activated carbon was produced from the pumpkin seed shell and then modified with KOH. This adsorbent obtained was used in the re-moval of ciprofloxacin from aqueous systems. Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), elemental, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Zeta analyzes were used for the characterization of the ad-sorbent. In particular, the surface area was found to be a very remarkable value of 2730 m2/g. The conditions of the adsorption experiments were optimized based on interaction time, adsorbent amount, pH and temperature. Over 99% success has been achieved in removal works carried out under the most optimized conditions. In addition, it was determined that the Langmuir isotherm is the most suitable model for the adsorption interaction.

A sustainable and efficient electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is vital to realize green and clean hydrogen production technology. Herein, we synthesized the nanocomposites of activated carbon-anchored nickel oxide (AC-NiO) via fully green routes, and characterized their excellent OER performances. The AC-NiO nanocomposites were prepared by the facile sonication method using sonochemically prepared NiO nanoparticles and biomass-derived AC nanosponges. The nanocomposites exhibited an aggregated structure of the AC-NiO nanotablets with an average size of 40 nm. When using the nanotablets as an OER catalyst in 1 M KOH, the sample displayed superb electrocatalytic performances, i.e., a substantially low value of overpotential (320 mV at 10 mA/cm2), a significantly small Tafel slope (49 mV/dec), and a good OER stability (4% decrease of overpotential after 10 h). These outstanding OER characteristics are considered as attributing to the synergetic effects from both the ample surface area of the electrochemically active NiO nanoparticles and the high electrical conductivity of the AC nanosponges. The results pronounce that the fully ecofriendly synthesized AC-NiO nanotablets can play a splendid role as high-performance electrocatalysts for future green energy technology.

As a new type of environmental pollutant reduction technology, semiconductor nano-TiO2 photocatalytic technology has attracted widely attention in recent years. In order to overcome the disadvantage of pure TiO2 photocatalyst in lower utilization of solar energy and heat durability, the sol-gel method followed by co-precipitation method was employed to synthesize ZnO packed N:TiO2 nano-powders, and EDS, XRD, SEM, UV-VIS analysis as well as detection of degradation rate of methyl orange were used to characterize the composition, phase, micro-morphology and the photocatalytic properties of the nano-powders. The results showed that the excitation band of the composite powders extended from the UV region to the visible light zone, indicating a remarkable improvement of the photocatalytic activities of TiO2 composite powders under both visible light and UV irradiation. After calcined at 950°C, the composite powders still remained mixed crystal structures of anatase and rutile phases with the diameter of the composite powder being about 60nm. After coated with ZnO, the heat durability of the N-doped nano-TiO2 composite powders was significantly improved 250°C.
