5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfuryl alcohol (FFA) are present in numerous foodstuffs at high levels. FFA is also used for the production of polymers. Both compounds had demonstrated some evidence of carcinogenic activity in 2-year bioassays. We tested these compounds and

A stable, label-free optical biosensor based on a porous silicon-carbon (pSi-C) composite is demonstrated. The material is prepared by electrochemical anodization of crystalline Si in an HF-containing electrolyte to generate a porous Si template, followed by infiltration of poly(furfuryl) alcohol
Highly selective decarbonylation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural in the presence of compressed carbon dioxide.

The addition of photosensitizers to water can accelerate disinfection in sunlight-based systems by enhancing oxidation of target compounds through direct reaction with the excited sensitizer or through production of another oxidant, such as singlet oxygen (¹O₂). The kinetics of the
