Non-radical activation of persulfate with Bi 2O 3/BiO 1.3I 0.4 for efficient degradation of propranolol under visible light. J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 142:57-68. [PMID: 38527896 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.05.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Non-radical activation of persulfate (PS) by photocatalysts is an effective approach for removing organic pollutants from aqueous environments. In this study, a novel Bi2O3/BiO1.3I0.4 heterojunction was synthesized using a facile solvothermal approach and used for the first time for non-radical activation of PS to degrade propranolol (PRO) in the presence of visible light. The findings found that the degradation rate of PRO in the Bi2O3/BiO1.3I0.4/PS system was significantly increased from 19% to more than 90% within 90 min compared to the Bi2O3/BiO1.3I0.4 system. This indicated that the composite system exerted an excellent synergistic effect between the photocatalyst and the persulfate-based oxygenation. Quenching tests and electron paramagnetic resonance demonstrated that the non-radical pathway with singlet oxygen as the active species played a major role in the photocatalytic process. The existence of photo-generated holes during the reaction could also be directly involved in the oxidation of pollutants. Meanwhile, a possible PRO degradation pathway was also proposed. Furthermore, the impacts of pH, humic acid and common anions on the PRO degradation by the Bi2O3/BiO1.3I0.4/PS were explored, and the system's stability and reusability were also studied. This study exhibits a highly productive catalyst for PS activation via a non-radical pathway and provides a new idea for the degradation of PRO.

[PMID: 37054842 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
The processes of Fe(III) activated persulfate (PS) and H2O2 modified by catechin (CAT) had been shown to be effective in degrading contaminants. In this study, the performance, mechanism, degradation pathways and products toxicity of PS (Fe(III)/PS/CAT) and H2O2 (Fe(III)/H2O2/CAT) systems were compared using atenolol (ATL) as a model contaminant. 91.0% of ATL degradation was reached after 60 min in H2O2 system which was much higher than that in PS system (52.4%) under the same experimental condition. CAT could react directly with H2O2 to produce small amounts of HO• and the degradation efficiency of ATL was proportional to CAT concentration in H2O2 system. However, the optimal CAT concentration was 5 μM in PS system. The performance of H2O2 system was more susceptible to pH than that of PS system. Quenching experiments were conducted indicating that SO4•- and HO• were produced in PS system while HO• and O2•- accounted for ATL degradation in H2O2 system. Seven pathways with nine byproducts and eight pathways with twelve byproducts were put forward in PS and H2O2 systems respectively. Toxicity experiments showed that the inhibition rates of luminescent bacteria were both decreased about 25% after 60 min reaction in two systems. Although the software simulation result showed few intermediate products of both systems were More toxic than ATL, but the amounts of them were 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than ATL. Moreover, the mineralization rates were 16.4% and 19.0% in PS and H2O2 systems respectively.

Abstract
With increasingly serious environmental pollution and the production of various wastewater, water pollutants have posed a serious threat to human health and the ecological environment. The advanced oxidation process (AOP), represented by the persulfate (PS) oxidation process, has attracted increasing attention because of its economic, practical, safety and stability characteristics, opening up new ideas in the fields of wastewater treatment and environmental protection. However, PS does not easily react with organic pollutants and usually needs to be activated to produce oxidizing active substances such as sulfate radicals (SO4-) and hydroxyl radicals (OH) to degrade them. This paper summarizes the research progress of PS activation methods in the field of wastewater treatment, such as physical activation (e.g., thermal, ultrasonic, hydrodynamic cavitation, electromagnetic radiation activation and discharge plasma), chemical activation (e.g., alkaline, electrochemistry and catalyst) and the combination of the different methods, putting forward the advantages, disadvantages and influencing factors of various activation methods, discussing the possible activation mechanisms, and pointing out future development directions.

Abstract
BiOCl@Fe3O4 photocatalyst was synthesized to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for atenolol (ATL) degradation under simulated sunlight irradiation in present study. XRD, SEM, adsorbability and pore size distribution of BiOCl@Fe3O4 were analyzed. Magnetic BiOCl performed high activity in PMS activation and could be easily solid-liquid separation by applying an external magnetic field. Many parameters were inspected, including scavengers, PMS concentration, catalyst dosage, pH, anions (Cl- and CO3-). h+, SO4-, HO, O2-, SO5- were involved in ATL degradation in BiOCl@Fe3O4/PMS/sunlight system. The second-order rate constant of the reaction between ATL and SO4- (kATL, SO4-) was estimated via laser flash photolysis experiments. Moreover, ATL mineralization was followed by TOC analyzer. Twelve possible intermediate products were identified through LC-QTOF-MS analysis, and six ATL degradation pathways were concluded. This type of magnetic photocatalyst is characterized by ease of separation, high activation and good reusability. It may have application potential in refractory organic pollutants degradation.
