Abstract
The photo-thermal activation of persulfate (PS) was carried out to degrade various pollutants such as reactive blue-222 (RB-222) dye, sulfamethazine, and atrazine. Optimizing the operating parameters showed that using 0.90 g/L of PS at pH 7, temperature of 90 °C, initial dye concentration of 21.60 mg/L, and reaction time of 120 min could attain a removal efficiency of 99.30%. The degradation mechanism was explored indicating that hydroxyl and sulfate radicals were the prevailing reactive species. The degradation percentages of 10 mg/L of sulfamethazine and atrazine were 83.30% and 70.60%, respectively, whereas the mineralization ratio was 63.50% in the case of real textile wastewater under the optimal conditions at a reaction time of 120 min. The treatment cost per 1 m3 of real wastewater was appraised to be 1.13 $/m3 which assured the inexpensiveness of the proposed treatment system. This study presents an effective and low-cost treatment system that can be implemented on an industrial scale.

CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202301139.

Abstract
It has become necessary to develop effective strategies to prevent and reduce water pollution as a result of the increase in dangerous pollutants in water reservoirs. Consequently, there is a need to design new catalyst materials to promote the efficiency of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in the field of wastewater treatment plant to ensure the mineralization of trace organic contaminants. A notable approach gaining attention involves the coupling of sulfate radicals-based AOPs to photocatalysis or electrocatalysis processes, aiming to achieve the complete removal of refractory contaminants into water and carbon dioxide. Titanium dioxide as metal oxide has received great attention for its catalytic application in water purification. TiO2 catalysts offer a multitude of advantages in AOPs. They are characterized by their high photocatalytic activity under both ultraviolet and visible light, making them environmentally friendly due to the absence of toxic byproducts during oxidation. Their versatility is remarkable, finding utility in various AOPs, from photocatalysis to photo-Fenton processes. TiO2's durability ensures long-lasting catalytic activity, which is crucial for continuous treatment processes, and their cost-effectiveness is particularly advantageous. Furthermore, their chemical stability allows it to withstand varying pH conditions. However, the large band gap energy and low electrical conductivity hinder the catalytic reaction effectiveness. This review aims to examine various approaches to enhance the catalytic performance of titanium dioxide, with the objective of enabling more efficient water purification methods.

Synergistic and efficient degradation of acid red 73 by UV/O 3/PDS: Kinetic studies, free radical contributions and degradation pathways. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 216:114449. [PMID: 36270531 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Acid red 73 (AR73) is a representative dye pollutant that poses a threat to the environment and human health. Effectively removing this type of pollutant by conventional processes is difficult. However, this study found that compared with UV/PDS, UV/O3, and PDS/O3, UV/O3/PDS composite system had the highest degradation effect on AR73. The degradation efficiency in the composite system reached 97.61% within 30 min, and the synergistic coefficients in the composite system were all greater than 1. In the UV/O3/PDS system, ·OH was the main free radical that mainly degrades AR73. The increase of PDS dosage promoted the degradation of AR73, but the increase of O3 dosage was difficult to greatly improve the degradation of AR73 effect. The kinetic model of the apparent reaction rate was determined. The UV/O3/PDS system can efficiently degrade AR73 in a wide range of substrate concentrations and pH levels, and at the same time showed good adaptability to various concentrations of anions (Cl-, CO32-, SO32-, and C2O42-). Under raw water quality, the degradation effect of AR73 was still as high as approximately 90%. The theoretical attack site was obtained by DFT calculation, and the possible degradation pathway of AR73 was proposed based on the GC-MS spectrum and UV-Vis absorption spectrum. The attack of -NN- by ·OH, SO4-, and O3 was proposed to be the main possible degradation pathway for AR73. Therefore, this study further improves the understanding of the UV/O3/PDS system and shows the potential applicability of this system in the treatment of dye wastewater.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:9733.

Abstract
Chlorinated organic compounds (COCs) are among the more toxic organic compounds frequently found in soil and groundwater. Among these, toxic and low-degradable chlorobenzenes are commonly found in the environment. In this work, an innovative process using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant, ferrioxalate as the catalyst and a visible light-emitting diode lamp (Vis LED) were applied to successfully oxidize 124-trichlorobenzene (124-TCB) in a saturated aqueous solution of 124-TCB (28 mg L-1) at a neutral pH. The influence of a hydrogen peroxide (HP) concentration (61.5-612 mg L-1), Fe3+ (Fe) dosage (3-10 mg L-1), and irradiation level (Rad) (I = 0.12 W cm-2 and I = 0.18 W cm-2) on 124-TCB conversion and dechlorination was studied. A D-Optimal experimental design combined with response surface methodology (RSM) was implemented to maximize the quality of the information obtained. The ANOVA test was used to assess the significance of the model and its coefficients. The maximum pollutant conversion at 180 min (98.50%) was obtained with Fe = 7 mg L-1, HP = 305 mg L-1, and I = 0.12 W cm-2. The effect of two inorganic anions usually presents in real groundwater (bicarbonate and chloride, 600 mg L-1 each) was investigated under those optimized operating conditions. A slight reduction in the 124-TCB conversion after 180 min of reaction was noticed in the presence of bicarbonate (8.31%) and chloride (7.85%). Toxicity was studied with Microtox® (Azur Environmental, Carlsbad, CA, USA) bioassay, and a remarkable toxicity decrease was found in the treated samples, with the inhibition proportional to the remaining 124-TCB concentration. That means that nontoxic byproducts are produced in agreement with the high dechlorination degrees noticed.

Peracids - New oxidants in advanced oxidation processes: The use of peracetic acid, peroxymonosulfate, and persulfate salts in the removal of organic micropollutants of emerging concern - A review. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 790:148195. [PMID: 34380254 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.148195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Revised: 04/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in using of advanced oxidation processes in water and wastewater decontamination. As a new oxidants peracids, mainly peracetic acid (PAA) and peracid salts, i.e. peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and persulfate (PS) are used. The degradation process of organic compounds takes place with the participation of radicals, including hydroxyl (•OH) and sulfate (SO4•-) radicals derived from the peracids activation processes. Peracids can be activated in homogeneous systems (UV radiation, d-electron metal ions, e.g. Fe2+, Co2+, Mn2+, base, ozonolysis, thermolysis, radiolysis), or using heterogeneous activation (metals with zero oxidation state, metal oxides, quinones, activated carbon, semiconductors). As a result of oxidation, products of a lower mass than the parent compounds, less toxic, and more susceptible to biodegradation are formed. An important task is to investigate the effect of the peracid activation method and matrix composition on the efficiency of contamination removal. The article presents the latest information about the application of peracids in the removal of organic micropollutants of emerging concern (mainly focuses on endocrine disrupted compounds). The most important information on peracetic acid, peroxymonosulfate and persulfate salts, and methods of their activation are presented. Current uses of these oxidants in organic micropollutants removal are also described. Information was collected on the factors influencing the oxidation process and the effectiveness of pollutant removal. This paper compares PAA, PMS and PS-based processes for the first time in terms of kinetics and efficiency.
