[PMID: 37672949 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
Confronted with the imperative crisis of water quality deterioration, the pursuit of state-of-the-art decontamination technologies for a sustainable future never stops. Fitting into the framework of suitability, advanced oxidation processes have been demonstrated as powerful technologies to produce highly reactive radicals for the degradation of toxic and refractory contaminants. Therefore, investigations on their radical-induced degradation have been the subject of scientistic and engineering interests for decades. To better understand the transient nature of these radical species and rapid degradation processes, laser flash photolysis (LFP) has been considered as a viable and powerful technique due to its high temporal resolution and rapid response. Although a number of studies exploited LFP for one (or one class of) specific reaction(s), reactions of many possible contaminants with radicals are largely unknown. Therefore, there is a pressing need to critically review its implementation for kinetic quantification and mechanism elucidation. Within this context, we introduce the development process and milestones of LFP with emphasis on compositions and operation principles. We then compare the specificity and suitability of different spectral modes for monitoring radicals and their decay kinetics. Radicals with high environmental relevance, namely hydroxyl radical, sulfate radical, and reactive chlorine species, are selected, and we discuss their generation, detection, and implications within the frame of LFP. Finally, we highlight remaining challenges and future perspectives. This review aims to advance our understandings of the implementation of LFP in radical-induced transient processes, and yield new insights for extrapolating this pump-probe technique to make significant strides in environmental implications.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 338:139490.

Abstract
Chemical oxidation technologies have been notably used for the mineralization of organic pollutants from aqueous effluents, been especially relevant for the degradation of pesticides. In this context, both tebuconazole (TEB) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) pesticides were photodegraded by a combined catalyst of TiO2 and silver nanoparticles irradiated by UV-A light (λmax = 368 nm), and the experiments were tracked by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy. For 2,4-D, the degradation of about 70% was observed after almost 200 min, while for TEB, a decrease of 80% of the initial concentration was observed after approximately 100 min. The SERS monitoring allowed the proposal of some by-products, such as oxidized aliphatic chain and triazole from TEB besides glycolic, glyoxylic and dihydroxyacetic acids from 2,4-D. Their toxicities were predicted through ECOSAR software, verifying that most of them were not harmful to populations of fish, Daphnia and green algae. Thus, the performed oxidative process was efficient in the photodecomposition of TEB and 2,4-D pesticides, inclusive in terms of the decreasing of the toxicity of contaminated effluents.

Abstract
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in global agricultural cultivation. However, little is known about the environmental risks associated with its migration and transformation. We conducted light irradiation experiments to study the dynamics and mechanism of photodegradation of glyphosate in ditches, ponds and lakes, and evaluated the effect of glyphosate photodegradation on algae growth through algae culture experiments. Our results showed that glyphosate in ditches, ponds and lakes could undergo photochemical degradation under sunlight irradiation with the production of phosphate, and the photodegradation rate of glyphosate in ditches could reach 86% after 96 h under sunlight irradiation. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) was the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) for glyphosate photodegradation, and its steady-state concentrations in ditches, ponds and lakes were 6.22 × 10-17, 4.73 × 10-17, and 4.90 × 10-17 M. The fluorescence emission-excitation matrix (EEM) and other technologies further indicated that the humus components in dissolved organic matter (DOM) and nitrite were the main photosensitive substances producing •OH. In addition, the phosphate generated by glyphosate photodegradation could greatly promote the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa, thereby increasing the risk of eutrophication. Thus, glyphosate should be scientifically and reasonably applied to avoid environmental risks.

Enhanced electrochemical-activation of H 2O 2 to produce •OH by regulating the adsorption of H 2O 2 on nitrogen-doped porous carbon for organic pollutants removal. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 458:131925.

Abstract
The heterogeneous Fenton oxidation is regarded as a promising technology for refractory organic pollutants removal relying on highly active •OH generated via the decomposition of H2O2 catalyzed by iron-based catalyst that overcomes the issues of pH limitation and iron sludge discharge encountered in conventional Fenton reaction. However, the efficiency of •OH production in heterogeneous Fenton remains low as the limited mass transfer between H2O2 and catalysts caused by the poor H2O2 adsorption. Here, a nitrogen-doped porous carbon (NPC) catalyst with tunable N configuration was prepared for electrochemical-activation of H2O2 to •OH by enhancing the H2O2 adsorption on catalysts. The resultant •OH production yield on NPC reached 0.83 mM in 120 min. Notably, the NPC catalyst could be more energy-efficient for actual coking wastewater treatment with an energy consumption of 10.3 kWh kgCOD-1 than other electro-Fenton catalysts reported (20-29.7 kWh kgCOD-1). Density function theory (DFT) revealed that highly efficient •OH production was ascribed to the graphitic N which enhances the adsorption energy of H2O2 on NPC catalyst. This study provides new insight into the fabrication of efficient carbonaceous catalysts by rationally modulating electronic structures for refractory organic pollutants degradation.

Abstract
The kinetics of the reaction of methyl secondary butyl ether with OH radicals was investigated experimentally using the pulsed laser photolysis-laser induced fluorescence technique (PLP-LIF) over temperatures ranging from 268 to 363 K. The rate coefficient value at 298 K was measured to be (1.09 ± 0.02) × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 and the deduced Arrhenius expression is [Formula: see text]= (2.21 ± 0.29) × 10-12 exp ((471.71 ± 38.50)/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1. To complement the experimental data, the kinetic study of the title reaction was performed computationally at CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ//M06-2X/6-311 + G(d,p) level of theory with the incorporation of tunnelling correction from 200 to 400 K. The end products formed were qualitatively analyzed by using gas chromatography equipped with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) as detection technique and the mechanism for degradation was proposed. Thermochemical parameters were evaluated to determine the feasibility of individual reaction pathways. Atmospheric implications were evaluated and discussed in this manuscript.

Abstract
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) produce extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) to protect plants from external stresses. Fe-based nanomaterials can potentially interact with PGPR and synergistically degrade organic pollutants, yet they have received no study. Here, we studied how the interaction between a typical PGPR (Pseudomonas chlororaphis, JD37) and Fe-based nanomaterials facilitated the degradation of 2,4,4'-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB28), by comparing the zerovalent iron of 20 nm (nZVI20), 100 nm (nZVI100), and 5 μm; iron oxide nanomaterials (α-Fe2O3, γ-Fe2O3, and Fe3O4) of ca. 20 nm; and ferrous and ferric salts. Although all Fe materials (0.1 g L-1) alone could not degrade aqueous PCB28 (0.1 mg L-1) under dark or aerobic conditions, nZVI20, nZVI100, α-Fe2O3, and Fe2+ promoted PCB28 degradation by JD37, with the half-life of PCB28 shortened from 16.5 h by JD37 alone to 8.1 h with nZVI100 cotreatment. Mechanistically, the nanomaterials stimulated JD37 to secrete phenazine-1-carboxylic acid and accelerated the NADH/NAD+ conversion, promoting O2*- generation; JD37 increased Fe(II) dissolution from the nanomaterials, facilitating *OH generation; and the ROS gradually degraded PCB28 into benzoic acid through dihydroxy substitution, oxidation to quinone, and Michael addition. These findings provide a new strategy of nanoenabled biodegradation of organic pollutants by applying Fe-based nanomaterials and PGPR.

Abstract
Urbanization and industrialization have exerted significant adverse effects on water quality, resulting in a growing need for reliable and eco-friendly treatment technologies. Persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are emerging as viable technologies to treat challenging industrial wastewaters or remediate groundwater impacted by hazardous wastes. While the generated reactive species can degrade a variety of priority organic contaminants through radical and nonradical pathways, there is a lack of systematic and in-depth comparison of these pathways for practical implementation in different treatment scenarios. Our comparative analysis of reaction rate constants for radical vs. nonradical species indicates that radical-based AOPs may achieve high removal efficiency of organic contaminants with relatively short contact time. Nonradical AOPs feature advantages with minimal water matrix interference for complex wastewater treatments. Nonradical species (e.g., singlet oxygen, high-valent metals, and surface activated PS) preferentially react with contaminants bearing electron-donating groups, allowing enhancement of degradation efficiency of known target contaminants. For byproduct formation, analytical limitations and computational chemistry applications are also considered. Finally, we propose a holistically estimated electrical energy per order of reaction (EE/O) parameter and show significantly higher energy requirements for the nonradical pathways. Overall, these critical comparisons help prioritize basic research on PS-based AOPs and inform the merits and limitations of system-specific applications.

Abstract
BaTiO3/CeO2 nanoparticles with heterogeneous structure were successfully synthesized via a gel-assisted hydrothermal method. The molar ratio of Ti/Ce was set as 1 : 0, 0.925 : 0.075, 0.9 : 0.1; 0.875 : 0.125, and 0.85 : 0.15 in the dried gels. Affected by the values of Ti/Ce, the particle sizes of hydrothermal products decreased obviously, and the surface of nanoparticles became rough and even had small protrusions. XRD, SEM, HRTEM, XPS, DRS, ESR, and PFM were used to characterize the nanoparticle textures. We speculated that the main body and surface of nanoparticles were BaTiO3 and CeO2 protrusions, respectively. The catalytic performance of BaTiO3/CeO2 nanoparticles was characterized by their abilities to degrade RhB in water under different external conditions (light irradiation, ultrasonic oscillation, or both). In all test groups, BaTiO3/CeO2 nanoparticles with a Ti/Ce molar ratio of 0.875 : 0.125 in the initial dried gel exhibited the strongest catalytic ability when light irradiation and ultrasonication were applied simultaneously owing to the appropriate amount of Ce3+ and oxygen vacancies.

Abstract
T-dependent aqueous-phase rate constants were determined for the oxidation of the hydroxy aldehydes, glyceraldehyde, glycolaldehyde, and lactaldehyde, by the hydroxyl radicals (•OH), the sulfate radicals (SO4•-), and the nitrate radicals (NO3•). The obtained Arrhenius expressions for the oxidation by the •OH radical are: k(T,GLYCERALDEHYDE+OH•) = (3.3 ± 0.1) × 1010 × exp((-960 ± 80 K)/T)/L mol-1 s-1, k(T,GLYCOLALDEHYDE+OH•) = (4.3 ± 0.1) × 1011 × exp((-1740 ± 50 K)/T)/L mol-1 s-1, k(T,LACTALDEHYDE+OH•) = (1.6 ± 0.1) × 1011 × exp((-1410 ± 180 K)/T)/L mol-1 s-1; for the SO4•- radical: k(T,GLYCERALDEHYDE+SO4•-) = (4.3 ± 0.1) × 109 × exp((-1400 ± 50 K)/T)/L mol-1 s-1, k(T,GLYCOLALDEHYDE+SO4•-) = (10.3 ± 0.3) × 109 × exp((-1730 ± 190 K)/T)/L mol-1 s-1, k(T,LACTALDEHYDE+SO4•-) = (2.2 ± 0.1) × 109 × exp((-1030 ± 230 K)/T)/L mol-1 s-1; and for the NO3• radical: k(T,GLYCERALDEHYDE+NO3•) = (3.4 ± 0.2) × 1011 × exp((-3470 ± 460 K)/T)/L mol-1 s-1, k(T,GLYCOLALDEHYDE+NO3•) = (7.8 ± 0.2) × 1011 × exp((-3820 ± 240 K)/T)/L mol-1 s-1, k(T,LACTALDEHYDE+NO3•) = (4.3 ± 0.2) × 1010 × exp((-2750 ± 340 K)/T)/L mol-1 s-1, respectively. Targeted simulations of multiphase chemistry reveal that the oxidation by OH radicals in cloud droplets is important under remote and wildfire influenced continental conditions due to enhanced partitioning. There, the modeled average aqueous •OH concentration is 2.6 × 10-14 and 1.8 × 10-14 mol L-1, whereas it is 7.9 × 10-14 and 3.5 × 10-14 mol L-1 under wet particle conditions. During cloud periods, the aqueous-phase reactions by •OH contribute to the oxidation of glycolaldehyde, lactaldehyde, and glyceraldehyde by about 35 and 29%, 3 and 3%, and 47 and 37%, respectively.

Resolving the Mechanism for H 2O 2 Decomposition over Zr(IV)-Substituted Lindqvist Tungstate: Evidence of Singlet Oxygen Intermediacy. ACS Catal 2023; 13:10324-10339. [PMID: 37560188 PMCID: PMC10407852 DOI: 10.1021/acscatal.3c02416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the main undesired side reaction in catalytic oxidation processes of industrial interest that make use of H2O2 as a terminal oxidant, such as the epoxidation of alkenes. However, the mechanism responsible for this reaction is still poorly understood, thus hindering the development of design rules to maximize the efficiency of catalytic oxidations in terms of product selectivity and oxidant utilization efficiency. Here, we thoroughly investigated the H2O2 decomposition mechanism using a Zr-monosubstituted dimeric Lindqvist tungstate, (Bu4N)6[{W5O18Zr(μ-OH)}2] ({ZrW5}2), which revealed high activity for this reaction in acetonitrile. The mechanism of the {ZrW5}2-catalyzed H2O2 degradation in the absence of an organic substrate was investigated using kinetic, spectroscopic, and computational tools. The reaction is first order in the Zr catalyst and shows saturation behavior with increasing H2O2 concentration. The apparent activation energy is 11.5 kcal·mol-1, which is significantly lower than the values previously found for Ti- and Nb-substituted Lindqvist tungstates (14.6 and 16.7 kcal·mol-1, respectively). EPR spectroscopic studies indicated the formation of superoxide radicals, while EPR with a specific singlet oxygen trap, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidone (4-oxo-TEMP), revealed the generation of 1O2. The interaction of test substrates, α-terpinene and tetramethylethylene, with H2O2 in the presence of {ZrW5}2 corroborated the formation of products typical of the oxidation processes that engage 1O2 (endoperoxide ascaridole and 2,3-dimethyl-3-butene-2-hydroperoxide, respectively). While radical scavengers tBuOH and p-benzoquinone produced no effect on the peroxide product yield, the addition of 4-oxo-TEMP significantly reduced it. After optimization of the reaction conditions, a 90% yield of ascaridole was attained. DFT calculations provided an atomistic description of the H2O2 decomposition mechanism by Zr-substituted Lindqvist tungstate catalysts. Calculations showed that the reaction proceeds through a Zr-trioxidane [Zr-η2-OO(OH)] key intermediate, whose formation is the rate-determining step. The Zr-substituted POM activates heterolytically a first H2O2 molecule to generate a Zr-peroxo species, which attacks nucleophilically to a second H2O2, causing its heterolytic O-O cleavage to yield the Zr-trioxidane complex. In agreement with spectroscopic and kinetic studies, the lowest-energy pathway involves dimeric Zr species and an inner-sphere mechanism. Still, we also found monomeric inner- and outer-sphere pathways that are close in energy and could coexist with the dimeric one. The highly reactive Zr-trioxidane intermediate can evolve heterolytically to release singlet oxygen and also decompose homolytically, producing superoxide as the predominant radical species. For H2O2 decomposition by Ti- and Nb-substituted POMs, we also propose the formation of the TM-trioxidane key intermediate, finding good agreement with the observed trends in apparent activation energies.

Abstract
Ferrocene has been the most used organometallic moiety introduced in organic and bioinorganic drugs to cure cancers and various other diseases. Following several pioneering studies, two real breakthroughs occurred in 1996 and 1997. In 1996, Jaouen et al. reported ferrocifens, ferrocene analogs of tamoxifen, the chemotherapeutic for hormone-dependent breast cancer. Several ferrocifens are now in preclinical evaluation. Independently, in 1997, ferroquine, an analog of the antimalarial drug chloroquine upon the introduction of a ferrocenyl substituent in the carbon chain, was reported by the Biot-Brocard group and found to be active against both chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Ferroquine, in combination with artefenomel, completed phase IIb clinical evaluation in 2019. More than 1000 studies have been published on ferrocenyl-containing pharmacophores against infectious diseases, including parasitic, bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, but the relationship between structure and biological activity has been scarcely demonstrated, unlike for ferrocifens and ferroquines. In a majority of ferrocene-containing drugs, however, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), in particular the OH. radical, produced by Fenton catalysis, plays a key role and is scrutinized in this mini-review, together with the supramolecular approach utilizing drug delivery nanosystems, such as micelles, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), polymers, and dendrimers.

Abstract
Live bacteria in clouds are exposed to free radicals such as the hydroxyl radical (˙OH), which is the main driver of many photochemical processes. While the ˙OH photooxidation of organic matter in clouds has been widely studied, equivalent investigations on the ˙OH photooxidation of bioaerosols are limited. Little is known about the daytime encounters between ˙OH and live bacteria in clouds. Here we investigated the aqueous ˙OH photooxidation of four bacterial strains, B. subtilis, P. putida, E. hormaechei B0910, and E. hormaechei pf0910, in microcosms composed of artificial cloud water that mimicked the chemical composition of cloud water in Hong Kong. The survival rates for the four bacterial strains decreased to zero within 6 hours during exposure to 1 × 10-16 M of ˙OH under artificial sunlight. Bacterial cell damage and lysis released biological and organic compounds, which were subsequently oxidized by ˙OH. The molecular weights of some of these biological and organic compounds were >50 kDa. The O/C, H/C, and N/C ratios increased at the initial onset of photooxidation. As the photooxidation progressed, there were few changes in the H/C and N/C, whereas the O/C continued to increase for hours after all the bacterial cells had died. The increase in the O/C was due to functionalization and fragmentation reactions, which increased the O content and decreased the C content, respectively. In particular, fragmentation reactions played key roles in transforming biological and organic compounds. Fragmentation reactions cleaved the C-C bonds of carbon backbones of higher molecular weight proteinaceous-like matter to form a variety of lower molecular weight compounds, including HULIS of molecular weight <3 kDa and highly oxygenated organic compounds of molecular weight <1.2 kDa. Overall, our results provided new insights at the process level into how daytime reactive interactions between live bacteria and ˙OH in clouds contribute to the formation and transformation of organic matter.

Abstract
We present a novel mid-infrared frequency-modulated Faraday rotation spectrometer (FM-FRS) for highly sensitive and high bandwidth detection of OH radicals in a photolysis reactor. High frequency modulation (up to 150 MHz) of the probe laser using an electro-optical modulator (EOM) was used to produce a modulation sideband on the laser output. An axial magnetic field was applied to the multi-pass Herriott cell, causing the linearly polarized light to undergo Faraday rotation. OH radicals were generated in the cell by photolyzing a mixture of ozone (O3) and water (H2O) with a UV laser pulse. The detection limit of OH reaches 6.8 × 108 molecule/cm3 (1σ, 0.2 ms) after 3 and falling to 8.0 × 107 molecule/cm3 after 100 event integrations. Relying on HITRAN absorption cross section and line shape data, this corresponds to minimum detectable fractional absorption (Amin) of 1.9 × 10-5 and 2.2 × 10-6, respectively. A higher signal-to-noise ratio and better long-term stability was achieved than with conventional FMS because the approach was immune to interference from diamagnetic species and residual amplitude modulation noise. To our knowledge, this work reports the first detection of OH in a photolysis reactor by FM-FRS in the mid-infrared region, a technique that will provide a new and alternative spectroscopic approach for the kinetic study of OH and other intermediate radicals.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthetized and employed in surface-enhanced Raman scattering measurements to study the chemical behavior when thiacloprid (Thia) interacts with the surface of Ag nanospheres (AgNSp) and Ag nanostars (AgNSt) upon excitation of the system with a 785 nm laser. Experimental results show that the deactivation of the localized surface plasmon resonance induces structural changes in Thia. When AgNSp are used, it is possible to observe a mesomeric effect in the cyanamide moiety. On the other hand, when AgNSt are employed, it promotes the cleavage of the methylene (-CH2-) bridge in Thia to produce two molecular fragments. To support these results, theoretical calculations based on topological parameters described by the atoms in molecules theory, Laplacian of the electron density at the bond critical point (∇2ρ BCP), Laplacian bond order, and bond dissociation energies were made, confirming that the bond cleavage is centered at the -CH2- bridge in Thia.

Abstract
Air pollution is one of the top 5 risks causing chronic diseases according to WHO and airborne transmitted pathogens infection is a huge challenge in the current era. Long living pathogens and small size aerosols are not effectively dealt with by the available indoor air purifiers. In this work, a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) based portable cold-plasma detergent in environment device is reported and its disinfection efficiency has been analyzed in the indoor environment of sizes up to 3 × 2.4 × 2.4 m3. The deactivation efficiency of total microbial counts (TMCs) and total fungal counts (TFCs) is found to be more than 99% in 90 min of continuous operation of the device at the optimized parameters. The complete inactivation of MS2 phage and Escherichia coli bacteria with more than 5 log reduction (99.999%) has also been achieved in 30 min and 90 min of operation of the device in an enclosed environment. The device is able to produce negative ions predominantly dominated by natural plasma detergent along with positive ions in the environment similar to mother nature. The device comprises a coaxial DBD geometry plasma source with a specially designed wire mesh electrode of mild steel with a thickness of 1 mm. The need for feed gas, pellets and/or differential pressure has been eliminated from the DBD discharge source for efficient air purification. The existence of negative ions for more than 25 s on average is the key advantage, which can also deactivate long living pathogens and small size aerosols.

Abstract
Water contamination by pesticides is a critical environmental issue, necessitating the development of sustainable and efficient degradation methods. This study focuses on synthesizing and evaluating a novel heterogeneous sonocatalyst for degrading pesticide methidathion. The catalyst consists of graphene oxide (GO) decorated CuFe2O4@SiO2 nanocomposites. Comprehensive characterization using various techniques confirmed the superior sonocatalytic activity of the CuFe2O4@SiO2-GOCOOH nanocomposite compared to CuFe2O4@SiO2 alone. The enhanced performance is attributed to the combined effects of GO and CuFe2O4@SiO2, including increased surface area, enhanced adsorption capabilities, and efficient electron transfer pathways. Reaction parameters such as time, temperature, concentration, and pH significantly influenced the degradation efficiency of methidathion. Longer reaction times, higher temperatures, and lower initial pesticide concentrations favored faster degradation and higher efficiency. Optimal pH conditions were identified to ensure effective degradation. Remarkably, the catalyst demonstrated excellent recyclability, indicating its potential for practical implementation in pesticide-contaminated wastewater treatment. This research contributes to the development of sustainable methods for environmental remediation, highlighting the promising potential of the graphene oxide decorated CuFe2O4@SiO2 nanocomposite as an effective heterogeneous sonocatalyst for pesticide degradation.

Abstract
TiO2 is a promising photocatalyst used in practical environmental remediation. TiO2 photocatalysts are usually implemented in two forms: suspended powder and immobilized thin films. A simple technique for fabricating TiO2 thin film photocatalyst was developed in this work. The fabricated TiO2 thin film photocatalyst featured a homogeneous nanowire layer grown in situ on the parent Ti plate. The optimized fabrication protocol was to soak the ultrasonically cleaned and acid-washed Ti plate in 30% H2O2 solution containing 3.2 mM melamine and 0.29 M HNO3 at 80 °C for 72 h and then anneal at 450 °C for 1 h. TiO2 nanowires with uniform diameters were homogeneously arrayed on the Ti plate surface. The thickness of the TiO2 nanowire array layer was 1.5 μm. The pore properties of the TiO2 thin film were close to those of P25. The band gap of the fabricated photocatalyst was 3.14 eV. The photocatalytic activity of the fabricated photocatalyst toward 10 mg/L RhB and 1 mg/L CBZ demonstrated greater than 60% degradation under 2 h UVC irradiation. The RhB and CBZ degradation efficiencies remained at a good level after 5 consecutive cycles. Mechanical wearing, such as 2 min sonication, will not lead to significant suppression of the photocatalytic activity. Photocatalytic RhB and CBZ degradation using the fabricated photocatalyst favored an acidic > alkaline > neutral environment. The presence of Cl- slightly suppressed the photocatalytic degradation kinetics. However, RhB and CBZ photocatalytic degradation kinetics were promoted in the copresence of SO42- or NO3-.

Abstract
Benzoate (Bz-) and acetophenone (AcPh) are aromatic compounds known to be produced by sunlight irradiation of polystyrene aqueous suspensions. Here we show that these molecules could react with •OH (Bz-) and •OH + CO3•- (AcPh) in sunlit natural waters, while other photochemical processes (direct photolysis and reaction with singlet oxygen, or with the excited triplet states of chromophoric dissolved organic matter) are unlikely to be important. Steady-state irradiation experiments were carried out using lamps, and the time evolution of the two substrates was monitored by liquid chromatography. Photodegradation kinetics in environmental waters were assessed by a photochemical model (APEX: Aqueous Photochemistry of Environmentally-occurring Xenobiotics). In the case of AcPh, a competitive process to aqueous-phase photodegradation would be volatilisation followed by reaction with gas-phase •OH. As far as Bz- is concerned, elevated dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels could be important in protecting this compound from aqueous-phase photodegradation. Limited reactivity of the studied compounds with the dibromide radical (Br2•-, studied by laser flash photolysis) suggests that •OH scavenging by bromide, which yields Br2•-, would be poorly offset by Br2•--induced degradation. Therefore, photodegradation kinetics of Bz- and AcPh should be slower in seawater (containing [Br-] ~ 1 mM) compared to freshwaters. The present findings suggest that photochemistry would play an important role in both formation and degradation of water-soluble organic compounds produced by weathering of plastic particles.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) driven-photochemical processes play an important role in the redox cycling of trace metals and attenuation of organic contaminants in estuarine and coastal ecosystems. In this study, we evaluate the effect of Cu on 4-carboxybenzophenone (CBBP) and Suwannee River natural organic matter (SRNOM)-photosensitized degradation of seven target contaminants (TCs) including phenols and amines under pH conditions and salt concentrations typical of those encountered in estuarine and coastal waters. Our results show that trace amounts of Cu(II) (25 -500 nM) induce strong inhibition of the photosensitized degradation of all TCs in solutions containing CBBP. The influence of TCs on the photo-formation of Cu(I) and the decrease in the lifetime of transformation intermediates of contaminants (TC•+/ TC•(-H)) in the presence of Cu(I) indicated that the inhibition effect of Cu was mainly due to the reduction of TC•+/ TC•(-H) by the photo-produced Cu(I). The inhibitory effect of Cu on the photodegradation of TCs decreased with the increase in Cl- concentration since less reactive Cu(I)-Cl complexes dominate at high Cl- concentrations. The impact of Cu on the SRNOM-sensitized degradation of TCs is less pronounced compared to that observed in CBBP solution since the redox active moieties present in SRNOM competes with Cu(I) to reduce TC•+/ TC•(-H). A detailed mathematical model is developed to describe the photodegradation of contaminants and Cu redox transformations in irradiated SRNOM and CBBP solutions.

Enrichment of the flavonoid fraction from Eucommia ulmoides leaves by a liquid antisolvent precipitation method and evaluation of antioxidant activities in vitro and in vivo. RSC Adv 2023; 13:17406-17419. [PMID: 37313520 PMCID: PMC10258675 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra00800b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Eucommia ulmoides leaves originate from the dry leaves of the Eucommia ulmoides plant. Flavonoids are the main functional components of Eucommia ulmoides leaves. Some flavonoids such as rutin, kaempferol and quercetin are rich in Eucommia ulmoides, and they have outstanding antioxidant efficacy. However, the poor water solubility significantly affects the bioavailability of flavonoids. In this study, we used a liquid antisolvent precipitation (LAP) method to enrich the main flavonoid fractions in Eucommia ulmoides leaves, and prepared nanoparticles by the LAP method to increase flavonoids' solubility and antioxidant properties. The technological parameters were optimized by Box-Behnken Design (BBD) software and were displayed as follows: (1) total flavonoids (TFs) concentration: 83 mg mL-1; (2) antisolvent-solvent ratio: 11; (3) deposition temperature: 27 °C. Under optimal processing conditions, the purity and recovery rate of TFs were 88.32% ± 2.54% and 88.08% ± 2.13%, respectively. In vitro experiments showed that the radical scavenging IC50 values for DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anions were 16.72 ± 1.07, 10.76 ± 0.13, 227.68 ± 18.23 and 335.86 ± 15.98 μg mL-1, respectively. In vivo studies showed that the obtained purified flavonoid (PF) (100, 200, 400 mg kg-1) treatment is able to improve CCl4-induced liver and kidney damage through adjusting, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. These results demonstrated that the LAP method is capable of extracting TFs from Eucommia ulmoides leaves with high bioaccessibility.

Abstract
Historical releases of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) are significant sources of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), including perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) and their precursors, to the environment. While several studies have focused on microbial biotransformation of polyfluorinated precursors to PFAAs, the role of abiotic transformations at AFFF-impacted sites is less clear. Herein, we use photochemically generated hydroxyl radical to demonstrate that environmentally relevant concentrations of hydroxyl radical (•OH) can play a significant role in these transformations. High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was used to perform targeted analysis, suspect screening, and nontargeted analyses, which were used to identify the major products of AFFF-derived PFASs as perfluorocarboxylic acids, though several potentially semi-stable intermediates were also observed. Using competition kinetics in a UV/H2O2 system, hydroxyl radical rate constants (kOH) for 24 AFFF-derived polyfluoroalkyl precursors were measured to be 0.28 to 3.4 × 109 M-1 s-1. Differences in kOH were observed for compounds with differing headgroups and perfluoroalkyl chain lengths. Also, differences in kOH measured for the only relevant precursor standard available, n-[3-propyl]tridecafluorohexanesulphonamide (AmPr-FHxSA), as compared to AmPr-FHxSA present in AFFF suggest that intermolecular associations in the AFFF matrix may affect kOH. Considering environmentally relevant [•OH]ss, polyfluoroalkyl precursors are expected to exhibit half-lives of ∼8 days in sunlit surface waters and possibly as short as ∼2 h during oxygenation of Fe(II)-rich subsurface systems.

Abstract
Atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) can impact the radiative balance of the earth and form photooxidants. However, the light absorption and photochemical properties of BrC from different sources remain poorly understood. To address this gap, dilute water extracts of particulate matter (PM) samples collected at Davis, CA over one year were analyzed using high resolution aerosol mass spectrometry (HR-AMS) and UV-vis spectroscopy. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) on combined AMS and UV-vis data resolved five water-soluble organic aerosol (WSOA) factors with distinct mass spectra and UV-vis spectra: a fresh and an aged water-soluble biomass burning OA (WSBBOAfresh and WSBBOAaged) and three oxygenated OA (WSOOAs). WSBBOAfresh is the most light-absorbing, with a mass absorption coefficient (MAC365 nm) of 1.1 m2 g-1, while the WSOOAs are the least (MAC365 nm = 0.01-0.1 m2 g-1). These results, together with the high abundance of WSBBOAs (∼52% of the WSOA mass), indicate that biomass burning activities such as residential wood burning and wildfires are an important source of BrC in northern California. The concentrations of aqueous-phase photooxidants, i.e., hydroxyl radical (·OH), singlet molecular oxygen (1O2*), and oxidizing triplet excited states of organic carbon (3C*), were also measured in the PM extracts during illumination. Oxidant production potentials (PPOX) of the five WSOA factors were explored. The photoexcitation of BrC chromophores from BB emissions and in OOAs is a significant source of 1O2* and 3C*. By applying our PPOX values to archived AMS data at dozens of sites, we found that oxygenated organic species play an important role in photooxidant formation in atmospheric waters.

Abstract
A fluorogenic reaction between the chelate of Mn(II)-citric acid and terephthalic acid (PTA) was discovered, which was carried out through heating the aqueous mixture of Mn2+, citric acid and PTA. Detailed investigations indicated the reaction products were 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid (PTA-OH), which was attributed to the reaction between PTA and OH, formed by the triggering of Mn(II)-citric acid in the presence of dissolved O2. PTA-OH showed a strong blue fluorescence, peaked at 420 nm, and the fluorescence intensity presented a sensitive response to pH of the reaction system. Based on these mechanisms, the fluorogenic reaction was used for the detection of butyrylcholinesterase activity, achieving a detection limit of 0.15 U/L. The detection strategy was successfully applied in human serum samples, and it was also extended for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides and radical scavengers. Such a facile fluorogenic reaction and its stimuli-responsive properties offered an effective tool for designing detection pathways in the fields of clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring and bioimaging.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (•OH) oxidation has been identified as a significant pathway for element cycling and contaminant removal in redox fluctuating environments. Fe(II) has been found to be the main electron contributor for •OH production. Despite the recognition of the mechanisms of •OH production from the oxidation of Fe(II) in soils/sediments by O2, the kinetic model about Fe(II) oxidation, •OH production and contaminant removal is not yet clear. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a series of experiments to explore the variation of different Fe(II) species, •OH and trichloroethylene (TCE, a representative contaminant) during sediment oxygenation, followed by the development of a kinetic model. In this model, Fe(II) species in sediments was divided into three categories based on the sequential chemical extraction method: ion exchangeable Fe(II), surface-adsorbed Fe(II) and mineral structural Fe(II),. Results showed that the kinetic model accurately fitted the concentration time trajectories of different Fe(II) species, •OH and TCE in this study as well as in previous studies. Model analysis indicated that the relative contribution of surface-adsorbed Fe(II) and reactive mineral structural Fe(II) in •OH production was 16.4%-33.9% and 66.1%-83.6%, respectively. However, ion-exchangeable Fe(II) not only fails to contribute to •OH production but also reduces the •OH yield relative to H2O2 decomposition. Poorly reactive mineral structural Fe(II) can serve as an electron pool to regenerate these reactive Fe(II) and facilitate •OH production. Regarding TCE degradation, Fe(II) species plays a dual role in contributing to •OH production while competing with TCE for •OH consumption, with the quenching efficiency being related to their content and reactivity toward •OH. This kinetic model offers a practical approach to describing and predicting •OH production and associated environmental impacts at the oxic-anoxic interface.

Abstract
Environmental pollution has become a worldwide issue. Rapid industrial and agricultural practices have increased organic contaminants in water supplies. Hence, many strategies have been developed to address this concern. In order to supply clean water for various applications, high-performance treatment technology is required to effectively remove organic and inorganic contaminants. Utilizing photocatalytic membrane reactors (PMRs) has shown promise as a viable alternative process in the water and wastewater industry due to its efficiency, low cost, simplicity, and low environmental impact. PMRs are commonly categorized into two main categories: those with the photocatalyst suspended in solution and those with the photocatalyst immobilized in/on a membrane. Herein, the working and fouling mechanisms in PMRs membranes are investigated; the interplay of fouling and photocatalytic activity and the development of fouling prevention strategies are elucidated; and the significance of photocatalysis in membrane fouling mechanisms such as pore plugging and cake layering is thoroughly explored.

Abstract
The spatiotemporal characterization of signaling crosstalk between subcellular organelles is crucial for the therapeutic effect of malignant tumors. Blocking interactive crosstalk in this fashion is significant but challenging. Herein, a communication interception strategy is reported, which blocks spatiotemporal crosstalk between subcellular organelles for cancer therapy with underlying molecular mechanisms. Briefly, amorphous-core@crystalline-shell Fe@Fe3 O4 nanoparticles (ACFeNPs) are fabricated to specifically block the crosstalk between lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by hydroxyl radicals generated along with their trajectory through heterogeneous Fenton reaction. ACFeNPs initially enter lysosomes and trigger autophagy, then continuous lysosomal damage blocks the generation of functional autolysosomes, which mediates ER-lysosome crosstalk, thus the autophagy is paralyzed. Thereafter, released ACFeNPs from lysosomes induce ER stress. Without the alleviation by autophagy, the ER-stress-associated apoptotic pathway is fully activated, resulting in a remarkable therapeutic effect. This strategy provides a wide venue for nanomedicine to exert biological advantages and confers new perspective for the design of novel anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) production upon the oxygenation of reduced iron minerals at the oxic/anoxic interface has been well recognized. However, little is known in the influencing environmental factors and the involved mechanisms. In this study, much more •OH could be efficiently produced from oxygenation of Fe(II) with 20-200 mM carbonate. Both carbonate concentration and anoxic reaction time play a critical role in •OH production. High carbonate facilitates the formation of Fe(II)high reactivity, i.e., surface-adsorbed and structural Fe(II) with low crystalline that is reactive toward O2 reaction for •OH production, while long anoxic reaction time enables the transfer from Fe(II)high reactivity to Fe(II)low reactivity, i.e., Fe(II) at interior sites with high crystalline, that is hardly oxidized by O2. Furthermore, the degradation pathway of p-nitrophenol (PNP) is highly dependent on the carbonate concentration that low carbonate facilitates •OH oxidation of PNP (80.2%) while high carbonate enhanced O2•- reduction of PNP (48.7%). Besides, carbonate also influences the structural evolution of Fe mineral during oxygenation by retarding its hydrolysis and following transformation. Our finding sheds new light on understanding the important role of oxyanions such as carbonate in iron redox cycles and directing contaminant attenuation in subsurface environment.

Oyster ferritin can efficiently alleviate ROS-mediated inflammation attributed to its unique micro-environment around three-fold channels. Free Radic Biol Med 2023; 204:28-37. [PMID: 37105421 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2023.04.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
The conversion of toxic Fe2+ into non-toxic Fe3+ stored in the inner cavity of ferritin nanocage could effectively reduce the occurrence of the Fenton reaction and inhibit the formation of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we reveal that oyster ferritin (GF1) can rely on its high catalytic activity (7.7 times that of rHuHF) and high binding ability of Fe2+ (9.1 times that of rHuHF) to reduce the precursors of Fenton reaction, thus inhibiting the occurrence of Fenton reaction and slowing down reactive oxygen species-mediated inflammation. The above significant advantage of GF1 can be attributed to the Asp at the position 120th, which could increase the negatively charged area of three-fold channels from 37.8% (rHuHF) to 67.8% and then enhance its oxidation rate and ability of GF1. The findings are of great value in advancing novel nanoparticle drug design based on crystalline structure.

Abstract
B(C6F5)3·H2O has been long recognized as a common Brønsted acid. The lack of X-ray crystal structure of B(C6F5)3·H2O with other substrates has greatly limited the development of a new catalytic mode. In this work, a complex of B(C6F5)3·H2O and amide 2-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one with hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions is characterized by X-ray diffraction. Such noncovalent interactions in solution also exist, as verified by NMR, UV-Vis absorption, and fluorescence emission measurements. Moreover, the mixture of amide 2-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one and B(C6F5)3·H2O, instead of other tested Brønsted acids, shows a tailing absorption band in the visible light region (400-450 nm). Based on the photoactive properties of the complex, a photoredox catalysis is developed to construct α-aminoamides under mild conditions.

Abstract
The design of functional coatings for touchscreens and haptic interfaces is of paramount importance for smartphones, tablets, and computers. Among the functional properties, the ability to suppress or eliminate fingerprints from specific surfaces is one of the most critical. We produced photoactivated anti-fingerprint coatings by embedding 2D-SnSe2 nanoflakes in ordered mesoporous titania thin films. The SnSe2 nanostructures were produced by solvent-assisted sonication employing 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. The combination of SnSe2 and nanocrystalline anatase titania enables the formation of photoactivated heterostructures with an enhanced ability to remove fingerprints from their surface. These results were achieved through careful design of the heterostructure and controlled processing of the films by liquid phase deposition. The self-assembly process is unaffected by the addition of SnSe2, and the titania mesoporous films keep their three-dimensional pore organization. The coating layers show high optical transparency and a homogeneous distribution of SnSe2 within the matrix. An evaluation of photocatalytic activity was performed by observing the degradation of stearic acid and Rhodamine B layers deposited on the photoactive films as a function of radiation exposure time. FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopies were used for the photodegradation tests. Additionally, infrared imaging was employed to assess the anti-fingerprinting property. The photodegradation process, following pseudo-first-order kinetics, shows a tremendous improvement over bare mesoporous titania films. Furthermore, exposure of the films to sunlight and UV light completely removes the fingerprints, opening the route to several self-cleaning applications.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 454:131448.

Abstract
The activation of peracetic acid (PAA) by using Fe2+ has been used to degrade emerging micropollutants in water, the slow cycle of Fe3+/Fe2+ however limits the process efficiency, and debates on the dominant reactive species are still ongoing. This study investigated Fe2+-catalyzed PAA under ultraviolet-A (UVA) irradiation toward the degradation of five representative micropollutants (carbamazepine, diclofenac, naproxen, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim). The results showed that PAA was efficiently catalyzed by trace Fe2+ (≤ 10 μM) with the synergy of UVA, resulting in more efficient naproxen degradation than that by inorganic peroxides (H2O2/persulfates)-based photo-Fenton processes. Notably, high-valent iron (IV)-oxo complex (FeIVO2+) was identified as the primary reactive species in Fe2+/PAA/UVA process, whereas the generation of organic radicals and hydroxyl radical were quite minimal. As such, remarkable selectivity toward the degradation of multiple micropollutants were observed, which resulted in much faster degradation rates of naproxen and diclofenac than those of carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Moreover, the critical operating parameters were optimized based on the degradation kinetics of naproxen, and the application potential has been revealed by the efficient naproxen degradation in actual water samples. The findings highlight that the introduction of UVA in the Fe2+/PAA system not only solves the problem of the slow rate of Fe2+ regeneration, but also greatly decreases the iron sludge production by using trace Fe2+, making it attractive for practical application.

Abstract
The complex effects of ozonation on the photophysical and size-based properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) were investigated using two DOM isolates, Suwannee River Fulvic Acid (SRFA) and Pony Lake Fulvic Acid (PLFA). A size exclusion chromatography system paired with absorbance, fluorescence, and total organic carbon detection was used to determine the fluorescence quantum yield (Φf) as a function of the apparent molecular weight (AMW). Size-based fractions of each isolate were collected and irradiated to measure singlet oxygen (1O2) quantum yield (Φ1O2). Φf decreased with ozonation in low AMW fractions, while increasing in high AMW fractions. Φ1O2 increased with ozone dose in low AMW fractions from ∼2 to ∼7% and ∼3 to ∼11% for PLFA and SRFA, respectively, indicating that these are the most photoreactive fractions of DOM. Decreases in Φf and concomitant increases in Φ1O2 in low AMW fractions indicated that chemical transformations occurred, likely including the conversion of phenols to quinones, particularly in SRFA. Results further suggest that the photoactive and fluorescent fractions of DOM are likely independent pools of chromophores from different AMW fractions. In PLFA, a linear response in Φ1O2, specific UV absorbance at wavelength 254 nm (SUVA254), and Φf with ozonation indicated the equal distribution of ozone-reactive moieties.

Abstract
Organic pollutants are toxic and are present in drinking water. The conventional processes of most water plants can basically meet the discharge standard. However, based on the improvement of the objective of organic pollutants control and the constant change of water characteristics, the results may not be ideal. This study evaluates the effectiveness of different treatments such as microfiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, activated carbon, and ultraviolet irradiation/H2O2 in terms of the removal of organic pollutants. Among the DOM results, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and activated carbon showed optimal performance due to the characteristics of processes and the compound properties. However, the risks of low-molecular-weight organic residue and byproduct formation are still present. Thirty-nine species of synthetic organic compounds (SOC) were qualitatively and semiquantitatively analyzed. Different technologies showed varying removal capabilities for SOC based on their properties and many substances coexisted leading to abnormal removal performances. These residual organics showed the characteristics of lower molecular weight, more hydrophilicity, further unknown impacts, and with risk of DBPs. Based on the above insights, possible methods can be rationally chosen for on-demand decontamination of organics in unconfined aquatic environment and long-time impact on water characteristics and human health also should be considered.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (OH) is a key oxidant that triggers atmospheric oxidation chemistry in both gas and aqueous phases. The current understanding of its aqueous sources is mainly based on known bulk (photo)chemical processes, uptake from gaseous OH, or related to interfacial O3 and NO3 radical-driven chemistry. Here, we present experimental evidence that OH radicals are spontaneously produced at the air-water interface of aqueous droplets in the dark and the absence of known precursors, possibly due to the strong electric field that forms at such interfaces. The measured OH production rates in atmospherically relevant droplets are comparable to or significantly higher than those from known aqueous bulk sources, especially in the dark. As aqueous droplets are ubiquitous in the troposphere, this interfacial source of OH radicals should significantly impact atmospheric multiphase oxidation chemistry, with substantial implications on air quality, climate, and health.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are the most active, aggressive and oxidative reactive oxygen species. In the natural aquatic environment, •OH plays an important role in the biogeochemistry cycle, biotransformation, and pollution removal. This paper reviewed the distribution and formation mechanism of •OH in aquatic environments, including natural waters, colloidal substances, sediments, and organisms. Furthermore, factors affecting the formation and consumption of •OH were thoroughly discussed, and the mechanisms of •OH generation and scavenging were summarized. In particular, the effects of climate change and artificial work on •OH in the largest natural aquatic environment, i.e., marine environment was analyzed with the help of bibliometrics. Moreover, Fenton reactions make the •OH variation more complicated and should not be neglected, especially in those areas with suspended particles and sediments. Regarding the •OH variation in the natural aquatic environment, more attention should be given to global change and human activities.

Abstract
Recently, p-nitrophenol (PNP), a common organic environmental pollutant, has been reported to be degraded by biochar. Although the degradation mechanism of PNP by biochar has been explored, the role of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (BDOM) in PNP degradation remains unclear. Two BDOM samples were prepared in this study, and their PNP degradation performance was analyzed. BDOM5 (prepared at 500 °C) exhibited higher PNP degradation ratio than BDOM7 (prepared at 700 °C). The extent of PNP degradation per unit of BDOM5 and BDOM7 reached 9.54 and 4.19 mg/mg, respectively. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis showed that both oxidative and reductive processes contributed to the PNP degradation by BDOM. Compared with BDOM7, the higher PNP removal of BDOM5 was due to the higher electron exchange capacity. Furthermore, hydroxyl radicals (OH) played a critical role in the oxidative degradation process of PNP by BDOM. This study sheds light on the phenomenon of PNP degradation by BDOM and these results may be useful for accurately assessing the environmental impact of biochar application.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an essential component of environmental systems. It usually originates from two end-members, including allochthonous and autochthonous sources. Previously, links have been established between DOM origins/sources and its biogeochemical reactivities. However, the influence of changes in DOM characteristics driven by end-member mixing on DOM biogeochemical reactivities has not been clarified. In this study, we investigated variations of DOM reactivities responding to the dynamics of DOM characteristics induced by different mixing ratios of two DOM end-members derived from humic acid (HA) and algae, respectively. Four biogeochemical reactivities of DOM were evaluated, including biodegradation, ·OH production, photodegradation, and redox capacity. Results showed that the variations of DOM characteristics due to the two end-members mixing significantly impact its biogeochemical reactivities. However, not all spectral parameters and reactivities followed the conservative mixing behavior. In contrast to reactivities of ·OH production and redox capacity, mixed samples showed apparent deviations from conservative linear relationships in biodegradation and photodegradation due to the interaction between the two end-members. Regarding the role of DOM properties influencing reactivity changes, peak A and M were recognized as the most stable parameters. However, peak C and SUVA254 were identified as the most vital contributors for explaining DOM reactivity variations. These findings suggest that a general model for describing the dynamic relationship between DOM source and reactivity cannot be proposed. Thus, the dynamics of DOM reactivity in diverse ecosystems cannot be estimated simply by the "plus or minus" of the reactivity from individual end-member. The effect of end-member mixing should be evaluated in a given reactivity instead of generalization. This study provides important insights for further understanding the dynamics of DOM's environmental role in different ecosystems influenced by variations of source inputs. In future, more field investigations are needed to further verify our findings in this study, especially in the scenario of end-member mixing.

Abstract
In order to enhance Ni-EDTA decomplexation and Ni recovery via photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) process, TiO2/Ni-Sb-SnO2 bifunctional electrode was fabricated as the photoanode and activated carbon fiber (ACF) was introduced as the cathode. At a cell voltage of 3.5 V and initial solution pH of 6.3, the TiO2/Ni-Sb-SnO2 bifunctional photoanode exhibited a synergetic effect on the decomplexation of Ni-EDTA with the pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.01068 min-1 with 180 min by using stainless steel (SS) cathode, which was 1.5 and 2.4 times higher than that of TiO2 photoanode and Ni-Sb-SnO2 anode, respectively. Moreover, both the efficiencies of Ni-EDTA decomplexation and Ni recovery were improved to 98% from 86% and 73% from 41% after replacing SS cathode with ACF cathode, respectively. Influencing factors on Ni-EDTA decomplexation and Ni recovery were investigated and the efficiencies were favored at acidic condition, higher cell voltage and lower initial Ni-EDTA concentration. Ni-EDTA was mainly decomposed via ·OH radicals which generated via the interaction of O3, H2O2, and UV irradiation in the contrasted PEC system. Then, the liberated Ni2+ ions which liberated from Ni-EDTA decomplexation were eventually reduced to metallic Ni on the ACF cathode surface. Finally, the stability of the constructed PEC system on Ni-EDTA decomplexation and Ni recovery was exhibited.

Abstract
Peracetic acid combined ultraviolet (UV/PAA) process has garnered growing attention as a promising advanced oxidation process (AOP) for wastewater treatment, but the corresponding transformation of ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM) under this AOP remains unknown. This study systematically investigated the changes in characteristics and composition of DOM under UV/PAA, as well as the underlying mechanisms by multiple spectroscopic analyses and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. UV/PAA treatment dramatically decreased aromaticity, apparent molecular weight, and fluorescent abundance of DOM with the production of more oxidized and saturated compounds. The reactive species (i.e., ·OH and CH3C(O)O·/CH3C(O)OO·) in UV/PAA contributed primarily to DOM changes but showed different reaction selectivity and mechanisms. ·OH reacts with DOM components and mainly yields oxygenation products via a radical addition pathway. Comparatively, the electron transfer route is more likely to occur in CH3C(O)O·/CH3C(O)OO·-induced DOM transformation. Aside from oxygenation products, electron transfer could exclusively generate decarboxylation products and distinguishes CH3C(O)O·/CH3C(O)OO·-based AOPs from ·OH-based AOPs. These findings significantly improve knowledge of DOM alterations under UV/PAA AOP at both the bulk and molecular levels.

Abstract
Currently, the presence of emerging contaminants in water sources has raised concerns worldwide due to low rates of mineralization, and in some cases, zero levels of degradation through conventional treatment methods. For these reasons, researchers in the field are focused on the use of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) as a powerful tool for the degradation of persistent pollutants. These AOPs are based mainly on the in-situ production of hydroxyl radicals (OH•) generated from an oxidizing agent (H2O2 or O2) in the presence of a catalyst. Among the most studied AOPs, the Fenton reaction stands out due to its operational simplicity and good levels of degradation for a wide range of emerging contaminants. However, it has some limitations such as the storage and handling of H2O2. Therefore, the use of the electro-Fenton (EF) process has been proposed in which H2O2 is generated in situ by the action of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, it is important to mention that the ORR is given by two routes, by two or four electrons, which results in the products of H2O2 and H2O, respectively. For this reason, current efforts seek to increase the selectivity of ORR catalysts toward the 2e− route and thus improve the performance of the EF process. This work reviews catalysts for the Fenton reaction, ORR 2e− catalysts, and presents a short review of some proposed catalysts with bifunctional activity for ORR 2e− and Fenton processes. Finally, the most important factors for electro-Fenton dual catalysts to obtain high catalytic activity in both Fenton and ORR 2e− processes are summarized.

Abstract
The photooxidation of organic compounds by hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in atmospheric aqueous phases contributes to both the formation and aging of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs), which usually include carboxylic acids. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and inorganic nitrate are two important ·OH photochemical sources in atmospheric aqueous phases. The aqueous phase pH is an important factor that not only controls the dissociation of carboxylic acids and consequently their ·OH reactivities, but also the production of ·OH and other reactive species from the photolysis of some ·OH photochemical precursors, particularly inorganic nitrate. While many studies have reported on the aqueous pH-dependent photodegradation rates of carboxylic acids with ·OH produced by H2O2 photolysis, the aqueous pH-dependent photodegradation rates of carboxylic acids with ·OH produced by inorganic nitrate photolysis have not been studied. In this work, we investigated the pH-dependent (pH 2 to 7) aqueous photooxidation of formic acid (FA), glycolic acid (GA), and pyruvic acid (PA) initiated by the photolysis of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). The observed reaction rates of the three carboxylic acids were controlled by the [NH4NO3]/[carboxylic acid] concentration ratio. Higher [NH4NO3]/[carboxylic acid] concentration ratios resulted in faster photodegradation rates, which could be attributed to the higher concentrations of ·OH produced from the photolysis of higher concentrations of NH4NO3. In addition, the observed photodegradation rates of the three carboxylic acids strongly depended on the pH. The highest photodegradation rate was observed at pH 4 for FA, whereas the highest photodegradation rates were observed at pH 2 for GA and PA. The observed pH-dependent FA and GA photodegradation rates were due to the combined effects of the pH-dependent ·OH formation from NH4NO3 photolysis and the differences in ·OH reactivities of dissociated vs. undissociated FA and GA. In contrast, the observed pH-dependent PA photodegradation rate was due primarily to the pH-dependent decarboxylation of PA initiated by light. These results highlight how the aqueous phase pH and inorganic nitrate photolysis can combine to influence the degradation rates of carboxylic acids, which can have significant implications for how the atmospheric fates of carboxylic acids are modeled for regions with substantial concentrations of inorganic nitrate in cloud water and aqueous aerosols.

Abstract
Determination of high-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs) and nonadiabatic couplings have always been quite challenging. To this end, machine learning (ML) models, trained with a finite set of ab initio data, allow accurate prediction of such properties. To express the PESs in terms of atomic contributions is the cornerstone of any ML based technique because it can be easily scaled to large systems. In this work, we have constructed high fidelity PESs and nonadiabatic coupling terms at the CASSCF level of ab initio data using a machine learning technique, namely, kernel-ridge regression. Additional MRCI-level calculations were carried out to assess the quality of the PESs. We use these machine-learned PESs and nonadiabatic couplings to simulate excited-state molecular dynamics based on Tully's fewest-switches surface hopping method (FSSH). FSSH is a semiclassical method in which nuclei move on the PESs due to the electrons according to the laws of classical mechanics. Nonadiabatic effects are taken into account in terms of transitions between PESs. We apply this scheme to study the O-O photodissociation of the simplest Criegee intermediate (CH2OO). The FSSH trajectories were initiated on the lowest optically bright singlet excited state (S2) and propagated along the three most important internal coordinates, namely, O-O and C-O bond distances and the COO bond angle. Some of the trajectories end up on energetically lower PESs as a result of radiationless transfer through conical intersections. All of the trajectories lead to the dissociation of the O-O bond due to the dissociative nature of the excited PESs through one of the two dissociative channels. The simulation reveals that there is about 88.4% probability of dissociation through the lower channel leading to the H2CO (X1A1) and O (1D) products, whereas there is only 11.6% probability of dissociation through the upper channel leading to H2CO (a3A″) and O (3P) products.

Abstract
In the face of significant challenges to practical applications of photocatalysis for water treatment, recent reports revealed a potential route to overcome a problem posed by dissolved organic matter (DOM). These studies showed that inhibition of photocatalytic processes by DOM is driven largely by competition for active surface sites on TiO2 or other catalysts, and controlling the type of DOM present in solution could significantly mitigate DOM fouling. Whether or not control of solution parameters could achieve the same preventative action is not known. Here, a series of DOM isolates, including humic acid (HA) and transphilic (TPI), hydrophobic (HPO), or colloidal fractions of organic matter from a membrane bioreactor mixed liquor supernatant, were tested for inhibitory activity under a range of pH values (3, 5, 7, and 9) and ionic compositions (NaCl, CaCl2, and Al2(SO4)3 with ionic strengths (IS) ranging from 0 to 3 M). The resulting TiO2-DOM agglomerates were monitored for size and ζ-potential. Inhibitory profiles were generated using para-chlorobenzoic acid (pCBA) as probe with varying concentrations of inhibitory DOM for each solution condition to discern the extent of surface-phase quenching of radicals. Manipulation of pH clearly impacted inhibition, and the effect varied by DOM type; for example, interference occurred at all pHs for HA, at neutral or basic pHs for TPI, and only at pH 7 for HPO. Particle sizes did not correlate with inhibitory action of DOM. Increases in ionic strength induced growth of TiO2 and TiO2-DOM agglomerates, but again, particle sizes did not correlate to inhibition by DOM. The changes to IS, regardless of ion type, were not affected by the presence of TPI or HPO. Since particle stability did not correlate directly with photocatalytic activity, we suggest that surface-based quenching reactions arise from site-specific adsorption rather than generalized particle destabilization and aggregation.

Abstract
Insensitive munitions formulations that include 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) are replacing traditional explosive compounds. While these new formulations have superior safety characteristics, the compounds have greater environmental mobility, raising concern over potential contamination and cleanup of training and manufacturing facilities. Here, we examine the mechanisms and products of NTO photolysis in simulated sunlight to further inform NTO degradation in sunlit surface waters. We demonstrate that NTO produces singlet oxygen and that dissolved oxygen increases the NTO photolysis rate in deionized water. The rate of NTO photolysis is independent of concentration and decreases slightly in the presence of Suwannee River Natural Organic Matter. The apparent quantum yield of NTO generally decreases as pH increases, ranging from 2.0 × 10-5 at pH 12 to 1.3 × 10-3 at pH 2. Bimolecular reaction rate constants for NTO with singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radical were measured to be (1.95 ± 0.15) × 106 and (3.28 ± 0.23) × 1010 M-1 s-1, respectively. Major photolysis reaction products were ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate, with nitrite produced in nearly stoichiometric yield upon the reaction of NTO with singlet oxygen. Environmental half-lives are predicted to span from 1.1 to 5.7 days. Taken together, these data enhance our understanding of NTO photolysis under environmentally relevant conditions.

Abstract
Photochemical reactions widely occur in the aquatic environment and play fundamental roles in aquatic ecosystems. In particular, solar-induced photodegradation is efficient for many organic micropollutants (OMPs), especially those that cannot undergo hydrolysis or biodegradation, and thus can mitigate chemical pollution. Recent reports indicate that photodegradation may play a more important role than biodegradation in many OMP transformations in the aquatic environment. Photodegradation can be influenced by the water matrix such as pH, inorganic ions, and dissolved organic matter (DOM). The effect of the water matrix such as DOM on photodegradation is complex, and new insights concerning the disparate effects of DOM have recently been reported. In addition, the photodegradation process is also influenced by physical factors such as latitude, water depth, and temporal variations in sunlight as these factors determine the light conditions. However, it remains challenging to gain an overview of the importance of photodegradation in the aquatic environment because the reactions involved are diverse and complex. Therefore, this review provides a concise summary of the importance of photodegradation and the major processes related to the photodegradation of OMPs, with particular attention given to recent progress on the major reactions of DOM. In addition, major knowledge gaps in this field of environmental photochemistry are highlighted.

Abstract
Accurate quantification of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) has been a challenge due to the cumulative analytical errors in the conventional method via subtracting dissolved inorganic nitrogen species (DIN) from total dissolved nitrogen (TDN). Size exclusion chromatography coupled with an organic nitrogen detector (SEC-OND) has been developed as a direct method for quantification and characterization of DON. However, the applications of SEC-OND method still subject to poor separations between DON and DIN species and unsatisfied N recoveries of macromolecules. In this study, we packed a series of SEC columns with different lengths and resin materials for separation of different N species and designed an independent vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) oxidation device for complete oxidation converting N species to nitrate. To guarantee sufficient N recoveries, the operation conditions were optimized as oxidation time ≥ 30 min, injection mass (sample concentration × injection volume) < 1000 µL × mg-N/L for macromolecular proteins, and neutral pH mobile eluent. The dissolved O2 concentration in SEC mobile phase determined the upper limit of VUV oxidation at a specific oxidation time. Compared to conventional HW50S column (20 × 250 mm), HW40S column (20 × 350 mm) with mobile phase comprising of 1.5 g/L Na2HPO4·2H2O + 2.5 g/L KH2PO4 (pH = 6.85) could achieve a better separation of DON, nitrite, nitrate, and ammonia. When applied to river water, lake water, wastewater effluent, groundwater, and landfill leachate, the SEC-OND method could quantify DON as well as DIN species accurately and conveniently even the DIN/TDN ratio reached 0.98.
