3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane derivatives as analogues of abasilide, a class III antiarrhythmic agent
La structure de la biodiversitĂ© du milieu profond et ses dĂ©terminants ainsi que les effets des perturbations naturelles ou anthropologiques restent globalement mal connus (McClain et Schlacher, 2015). Les monts sous-marins, principale cible potentielle de lâexploitation miniĂšre en PolynĂ©sie française, sont nĂ©anmoins reconnus comme fournissant une grande variĂ©tĂ© de services Ă©cosystĂ©miques (Armstrong et al., 2012, Rossi, 2013) notamment en termes de ressources halieutiques (Morato et al., 2010)..
A review of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their substitutions in fullâscale wastewater treatment plants
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) become a main contributor of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their substitutions present in freshwater systems. This paper reviews PAHs and their substitutions in full-scale WWTPs including their fate and behaviors, analytical techniques, biological treatments, feasibility examination, and modeling. In addition, challenges and future outlook are also highlighted. This study found that PAHs and their substitutions have been detected in WWTPs. GC-MS and HPLC analytical methods have been found to be acceptable for the detection and analysis of PAHs and their substitutions. Although some biological treatments such as activated sludge and membrane bioreactors are capable for the treatment process, their technical, social, economic, and environmental aspects must be considered. The fate and treatability estimator (FATE) model has been used for the modeling of removal of PAHs in full-scale WWTPs, but in some cases their shortcoming has been reported, which calls for an evaluation and modification of the model based on physicochemical processes
Advances in water treatment technologies for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Existing concepts, emerging trends, and future prospects
In the last two decades, environmental experts have focused on the development of several biological, chemical, physical, and thermal methods/technologies for remediation of PAH-polluted water. Some of the findings have been applied to field-scale treatment, while others have remained as prototypes and semi-pilot studies. Existing treatment options include extraction, chemical oxidation, bioremediation, photocatalytic degradation, and adsorption (employing adsorbents such as biomass derivatives, geosorbents, zeolites, mesoporous silica, polymers, nanocomposites, and graphene-based materials). Electrokinetic remediation, advanced phytoremediation, green nanoremediation, enhanced remediation using biocatalysts, and integrated approaches are still at the developmental stage and hold great potential. Water is an essential component of the ecosystem and highly susceptible to PAH contamination due to crude oil exploration and spillage, and improper municipal and industrial waste management, yet comprehensive reviews on PAH remediation are only available for contaminated soils, despite the several treatment methods developed for the remediation of PAH-polluted water. This review seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of existing and emerging methods/technologies, in order to bridge information gaps toward ensuring a green and sustainable remedial approach for PAH-contaminated aqueous systems.University of Pretoriahttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/155475312021-08-01hj2021Chemistr
