The expansion of pervious areas is an essential and common concept in mitigating non-point pollution runoff in urban areas. In this review, literature related to the expansion of pervious areas is introduced. In addition, the potential application of porous concrete as a medium for constructing the bottom and side walls...

This study investigated the use of NiSe2/Ag3PO4 nanocomposite catalysts for the photocatalytic degradation of RhB and BPA pollutants. Samples of pure NiSe2, Ag3PO4, and NiSe2/Ag3PO4 composites with varying NiSe2 (10%, 20%, and 30%) proportions were synthesized using hydrothermal techniques. The 20% NiSe2/Ag3PO4 composite showed the greatest photocatalytic efficiency for both...
