[PMID: 38679169 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142151] [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: 01/01/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Herein, MXene-based composite aerogel (MXene-Fe2+ aerogel) are constructed by a one-step freeze-drying method, using Ti3C2Tx MXene layers as substrate material and ferrous ion (Fe2+) as crosslinking agent. With the aid of the Fe2+ induced Fenton reaction, the synthesized aerogels are used as the particle electrodes to remove phenol from wastewater with three-dimensional electrode technology. Combined with the dual roles of Fe2+ and the highly conductive MXene, the obtained particle electrode possesses extremely effective phenol degradation. The effects of experiment parameters such as Fe2+ to MXene ratio, particle electrode dosage, applied voltage, and initial pH of solution on the removal of phenol are discussed. At pH = 2.5, phenol with 50 mg/L of initial concentration can be completely removed within 50 min at 10 V with the particle electrode dosage of 0.56 g/L. Finally, the mechanism of degradation is explored. This work provides an effective way for phenol degradation by MXene-based aerogel, which has great potential for the degradation of other organic pollutants in wastewater.

Abstract
In this work, the Mn, Co, Ce co-doped corn cob biochar (MCCBC) as catalytic particle electrodes in a three-dimensional heterogeneous electro-Fenton-like (3D-HEFL) system for the efficient degradation of coking wastewater was investigated. Various characterization methods such as SEM, EDS, XRD, XPS and electrochemical analysis were employed for the prepared materials. The results showed that the MCCBC particle electrodes had excellent electrochemical degradation performances of COD in coking wastewater, and the COD removal and degradation rates of the 3D/HEFL system were 85.35% and 0.0563 min-1 respectively. RSM optimized conditions revealed higher COD removal rate at 89.23% after 31.6 min of electrolysis. The efficient degradability and wide adaptability of the 3D/HEFL system were due to its beneficial coupling mechanism, including the synergistic effect between the system factors (3D and HEFL) as well as the synergistic interactions between the ROS (dominated by •OH and supplemented by O2•-) in the system. Moreover, the COD removal rate of MCCBC could still remain at 81.41% after 5 cycles with a lower ion leaching and a specific energy consumption of 11.28 kWh kg-1 COD. The superior performance of MCCBC, as catalytic particle electrodes showed a great potential for engineering applications for the advanced treatment of coking wastewater.

Abstract
Coal chemical wastewater (CCW) is a type of refractory industrial wastewater, and its treatment has become the main bottleneck restricting the sustainable development of novel coal chemical industry. Biological treatment is considered as an economical, effective and environmentally friendly technology for CCW treatment. However, conventional biological process is difficult to achieve the efficient removal of refractory organics because of CCW with the characteristics of composition complexity and high toxicity. Therefore, seeking the novel enhancement strategy appears to be a favorable solution for enhancing biological treatment efficiency of CCW. This review focuses on presenting a comprehensive picture about the exogenous enhancement strategies for CCW biological treatment. The performance and potential application of exogenous enhancement strategies, including co-metabolic substrate enhancement, biofilm filler enhancement, adsorption material enhancement and conductive mediator enhancement, were expounded. Meanwhile, the enhancing mechanisms of different strategies were comprehensively discussed from a biological perspective. Furthermore, the prospects of enhancement strategies based on the engineering performance, economic cost and environmental impact (3E) evaluation were introduced. And novel enhancement strategy based on "low carbon emissions", "resource recycling" and "water environment security" in the context of carbon neutrality was proposed. Taken together, this review provides technical reference and new direction to facilitate the regulation and optimization of typical industrial wastewater biological treatment.

Abstract
Biological filtration has been widely used in wastewater treatment around the world, yet achieving satisfactory removal of pollutants remains a challenge due to the complexity of water pollution. In order to reveal the hotspots and trends of biological filtration from the perspective of research innovation, 5454 SCI papers and 14,287 patents collected from the Web of Science Core Collection and Derwent Innovation Index database were analyzed by visualization techniques. The results showed that China ranked first in the number of both papers and patents, while the USA and Japan contributed significantly in papers and patents, respectively. Co-occurrence analysis obtained the mapping knowledge domains and demonstrated distinct associations between contaminants ("nitrogen", "pharmaceuticals", "personal care products"), chemicals ("carbon", "activated carbon", "media"), process ("biodegradation", "adsorption" or "ozonation") and characteristics ("kinetics", "performance", "diversity"). Moreover, this review summarized the recent advances of biological filtration media, microorganism and combined process being applied. It was concluded that environmentally friendly biological filtration ("phytoremedi", "microalga", "recirculating aquaculture system"), bio-enhanced biological filtration ("bioaugment", "fungi", "low augment") and emerging pollutants ("emerging contamin", "antibiotic resistance gen", "organic micropollut", "trace organic chem") were the hotspots through data-driven analyses. Technology evolution path of biological filtration generally indicated the transition from conventional biological filtration for nitrogen and phosphorus removal to Fenton-biofiltration combined technology and finally to ozone-biological filtration. Furthermore, the technical innovation direction of the collaborative control of multi-media pollution, the low-carbon biological filtration and short-process technology was prospected. This work can serve as a quick reference for early-career researchers and industries working in the area of biological filtration.

Abstract
Coal pyrolysis wastewater (CPW) contained all kinds of toxic and harmful components, which would seriously threaten the natural environment and human health. However, the traditional advanced oxidation processes frequently failed to remove phenolic substances. An A2BO4-type perovskite (La2CuO4) was successfully synthesized through sol-gel process and first applied in the treatment of CPW. More than 90% of 3, 5-dimethylphenol (DMP) was removed within 200 min at neutral conditions. Moreover, La2CuO4 also displayed excellent catalytic activity and stability in the actual CPW treatment process. Results demonstrated that DMP was removed through the attack of ∙OH, ∙O2- and 1O2 in La2CuO4/H2O2 system. The La2CuO4 were more favorable for H2O2 activation and have a lower adsorption energy than LaFeO3. XPS of fresh and spent La2CuO4 illustrated that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was mainly due to the redox cycle between surface copper and oxygen species. Moreover, the possible degradation pathway of DMP was deduced by identifying degradation products and analyzing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This research provided a novel strategy for the development of perovskite-based catalytic materials on the treatment of practical CPW.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:72196-72246.

Abstract
Water pollution by recalcitrant compounds is an increasingly important problem due to the continuous introduction of new chemicals into the environment. Choosing appropriate measures and developing successful strategies for eliminating hazardous wastewater contaminants from industrial processes is currently a primary goal. Electroplating industry wastewater involves highly toxic cyanide (CN), heavy metal ions, oils and greases, organic solvents, and the complicated composition of effluents and may also contain biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), SS, DS, TS, and turbidity. The availability of these metal ions in electroplating industry wastewater makes the water so toxic and corrosive. Because these heavy metals are harmful to living things, they must be removed to prevent them from being absorbed by plants, animals, and humans. As a result, exposure to electroplating wastewater can induce necrosis and nephritis in humans and lung cancer, digestive system cancer, anemia, hepatitis, and maxillary sinus cancer with prolonged exposure. For the safe discharge of electroplating industry effluents, appropriate wastewater treatment has to be provided. This article examines and assesses new approaches such as coagulation and flocculation, chemical precipitation, ion exchange, membrane filtration, adsorption, electrochemical treatment, and advanced oxidation process (AOP) for treating the electroplating industry wastewater. On the other hand, these physicochemical approaches have significant drawbacks, including a high initial investment and operating cost due to costly chemical reagents, the production of metal complexes sludge that needs additional treatment, and a long recovery process. At the same time, advanced techniques such as electrochemical treatment can remove various kinds of organic and inorganic contaminants such as BOD, COD, and heavy metals. The electrochemical treatment process has several advantages over traditional technologies, including complete removal of persistent organic pollutants, environmental friendliness, ease of integration with other conventional technologies, less sludge production, high separation, and shorter residence time. The effectiveness of the electrochemical treatment process depends on various parameters, including pH, electrode material, operation time, electrode gap, and current density. This review mainly emphasizes the removal of heavy metals and another pollutant such as CN from electroplating discharge. This paper will be helpful in the selection of efficient techniques for treatment based on the quantity and characteristics of the effluent produced.

Abstract
Semi-coking wastewater contains a rich source of toxic and refractory compounds. Three-dimensional electro-Fenton (3D/EF) process used CuFe2O4 as heterocatalyst and activated carbon (AC) as particle electrode was constructed for degrading semi-coking wastewater greenly and efficiently. CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS). Factors like dosage of CuFe2O4, applied voltage, dosage of AC and pH, which effect COD removal rate of semi-coking waste water were studied. The results showed that COD removal rate reached to 80.9% by 3D/EF process at the optimum condition: 4 V, 0.3 g of CuFe2O4, 1 g of AC and pH = 3. Trapping experiment suggesting that hydroxyl radical (•OH) is the main active radical. The surface composition and chemical states of the fresh and used CuFe2O4 were analyzed by XPS indicating that Fe, Cu, and O species are involved into the 3D/EF process. Additionally, anode oxidation and the adsorption and catalysis of AC are also contributed to the bleaching of semi-coking waste water. The possible mechanisms of 3D/EF for degrading semi-coking waste water by CuFe2O4 heterocatalyst were proposed.

Abstract
As an industrial solid waste, coal gasification fine slag (CGFS), which consists of many elements, such as silicon, aluminum, and carbon, could be used as an important resource. Therefore, this solid waste was used as a raw material to prepare high-value-added adsorption material for the treatment of industrial wastewater in this study. A hydrothermal synthesis method was applied to convert CGFS into a Y-type zeolite/carbon porous composite. The effects of time and temperature on the synthesis were studied. XRD, SEM, and other techniques were used to analyze the material and its physicochemical properties. Additionally, the adsorption performance of the material for phenol was studied. The results showed that the composite has better adsorption capacity for phenol than CGFS. The Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order kinetics well fitted the adsorption behavior of the composite, which demonstrated that the adsorption of phenol was dominated by chemical adsorption.

Abstract
Metals mainly exist in the form of complexes in urban wastewater, fresh water and even drinking water, which are difficult to remove and further harm human health. Fenton-like reaction has been used for the removal of metal complexes. Effective removal of metal complexes using Fenton-like reaction requires the removal of both metals and organic ligands, meanwhile, the fate of metals and organic pollutions must be clearly understood. Thus, this review summarizes the relevant research on metal complex removal from using Fenton-like reactions in the past ten years, with the detailed removal approaches and mechanisms analyzed. Electro-, photo-, microwave/ultrasound-Fenton reactions or the synergistic Fenton reaction have been shown to exhibit excellent metal complex treatment capabilities. Furthermore, various catalysts, such as transition metals, bimetals and metal-free catalytic systems can expand the potential applications of Fenton-like reactions. Novel Fenton reaction methods without the addition of metals or H2O2, with construction of a dual active center catalyst, or with the introduction of other free radicals, are all worthy of further investigation. Due to increasing levels of environmental metal and organic pollutions remediation requirements, more research is required for the development of economical and efficient novel Fenton-like processes.

A significant increase of rare earth transition metals concentration in water reservoirs caused by the dumping of household materials and petrol-producing industries is a potential threat to human and aquatic life. Here, we demonstrate a model nanofluidic channel for the Lanthanum (La3+) ions recognition. To this end, a single conical nanochannel is first modified with poly allylamine hydrochloride followed by immobilization of synthesized ZnO nanoparticles on the channel surface through electrostatic adsorption. A significant change in the nanopore electrical readout is noticed when the functionalized nanochannel is exposed to an electrolyte solution having La3+cations. The distinctive response by the nanofluidic system towards La3+ions is assumed to be due to ionic radii, hexagonal crystal structure, and associated basal plane interaction between anchored ZnO nanoparticles and La3+ions. We anticipate that this nanofluidic system can be used as a model to design highly sensitive metal ion detection devices.

Abstract
Quinoline (Qu) and its derivatives have been widely regarded as hazardous pollutants in the world because of their acute toxicity to humans and animals, and potential carcinogenic risks. In this study, a novel sulfate radical system co-activated by ferrous and ZVI was developed to remove Qu from acidic solutions. The optimal ratio of ferrous and ZVI in the system and the mechanism of Qu removal from acidic solutions are also explored. The ZVI can initiate activation using hydrogen ions, which are released from the reaction of Fe2+, organics and PS in acidic solutions. This may dramatically improve the overall removal efficiency of Qu. The results indicated that the initial removal rate of Qu increases from 85.8% to 92.9%. The cleavage pathway of Qu is speculated by Frontier molecular orbital (FMO) theory and verified by GC/MS analysis.

Abstract
Coal gasification wastewater is mainly from gas washing, condensation and purification processes in the gas furnace with high NH3-N (nitrogen in water in the form of free ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ion (NH4 +)), TN (total nitrogen) and refractory organics content, which will inhibit the subsequent biological treatment. The 'air stripping - hydrolysis acidification - air stripping' process was proposed as the pretreatment for coal gasification wastewater to improve the biodegradability and nitrogen removal, which could reduce the subsequent biological treatment load. The first-stage air stripping process before hydrolysis acidification could achieve a significant removal of NH3-N (97.0%) and volatile phenol (70.0%), reducing the corresponding toxicity on hydrolysis acidification. The group with air stripping had more abundant microbial communities and a more effective organic degradation performance in hydrolysis acidification than that without air stripping. The second-stage air stripping removed NH3-N released from hydrolysis acidification, and significantly reduced the TN concentration in effluent. The whole process achieved a TN removal from 2,000 ± 100 mg/L to 160 ± 80 mg/L, and a total phenols removal from 700 ± 50 mg/L to 80 ±20 mg/L.

Abstract
A membrane electro-bioreactor (MEBR) embracing biological treatment, electrokinetic phenomena and membrane filtration was established by applying intermittent direct current (DC) to MBR. MEBR exhibited significant improvement of treatment performance and reduction of membrane fouling. COD and total phenols removal efficiencies increased to 83.53% and 93.28% at an exposure mode of 24'-OFF/6'-ON, compared to 71.24% and 82.43% in MBR. Trans-membrane pressure increment rate declined dramatically in MEBR, which was mainly attributed to the increase of sludge floc size and decrease of zeta potential, soluble microbial products and specific resistance to filtration, resulted from electrokinetic effects such as electrocoagulation, electrophoresis, electroosmosis and electromigration of ions. It was notable that DC exposure exerted distinct evolution on microbial community, with the improvement of microbial community richness and diversity. The relative abundances of functional genera were promoted noticeably in MEBR. An interactive relevance existed among microbial community structure, mixed liquor properties and operational parameters.

Abstract
A novel iron-carbon microelectrolysis (ICME) inoculated with activated sludge (AS) process was specifically designed to look into the roles of microelectrolysis and biodegradation as well as their synergistic effect on phenols removal in coal gasification wastewater (CGW) treatment. The results indicated that the removal efficiency of COD, phenols and TOC in integrated ICME-AS process reached 87.36 ± 2.98%, 92.62 ± 0.76% and 84.45 ± 0.65%, respectively. Moreover, phenols-degrading bacteria and electrochemical-active bacteria presented better adaptability to phenolic impact. Meanwhile their syntrophic interaction was driven under the simulation of microelectrolysis. Furthermore, electrochemical redox efficiency was significantly improved, and the corresponding maximum power output reached 0.043 ± 0.01 mW/cm2. Apparently, the synergistic effect between microelectrolysis and biological action effectively strengthened phenols degradation and electricity generation. The results proved that the integrated ICME-AS process was a promising technology applied for CGW and other refractory industrial wastewater treatments.

Abstract
CGWW is major waste stream resulting from a number of activities of the low/medium temperature gasification unit that occurs during the production of natural gas. The resulting effluent contains a broad spectrum of organic and inorganic contaminants and exerts a negative influence on the environment, mainly due to the presence of toxic and refractory compounds. So far, various technologies have been applied for treatment of CGWW, while few reviews are available in the literature. Thus, this review attempts to offer a comprehensive picture about CGWW. An overview about pretreatment, biological and advanced processes for treatment of CGWW is presented, and the degradation mechanism of toxic and refractory pollutants is also elaborated. Technical bottlenecks existing in the operation of coal chemical industries, including foam proliferation, odors and biotoxicity risk, are detailed analyzed. Finally, the prospects of treatment for CGWW are discussed based on the concept of "wastewater is money". The review can be provided as an effective technical support for the construction and operation of coal gasification industries.

Abstract
Ozonation of pyridine and indole was investigated both in aqueous solution and biologically pretreated coal gasification wastewater (BPCGW). Experimental results showed that the removal of indole was hardly affected by pH value. Direct reaction rate constant of ozone with pyridine increased from 0.18 M-1 s-1 (protonated pyridine) to 3.03 M-1 s-1 (molecular pyridine), and that with molecular indole was 8.6 × 105 M-1 s-1. Seven and five transformation intermediates were observed for pyridine and indole, respectively. Ozonation pathways were proposed as hydroxylation, opening and cleavage of the aromatic ring. It was found that ammonia nitrogen (NH3N) increased by 3.3 mg L-1 in ozone process, suggesting the broken of the CN bonds of pyridine, indole and other N-heterocyclic compounds. In terms of biochemical oxygen demand to chemical oxygen demand (BOD5/COD), toxicity and resazurin dehydrogenase activity (DHA), the biodegradability was improved after ozone treatment, indicating the possibility of ozone combined with biosystem for the treatment of BPCGW. The results of gas chromatograph and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) indicated that primary products during first 10 min might lead to the obstinate toxicity, which was further proved by US Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA) test. This study would assist in obtaining a better understanding of the application of ozonation pretreatment in BPCGW.

Abstract
The electrochemical treatment of exhausted granular activated carbon (GAC) has been identified as an effective alternative to traditional adsorbent regeneration methods (e.g. thermal, chemical, and microbial). However, despite its proven potential and initial investigation over two decades ago, the development of this technology has been progressing slowly, hindering its deployment in industrial applications. Thus, a review has been conducted that aims to present the fundamentals of GAC electrochemical regenerative methods, what research has been conducted to develop the technology to the present day, and lastly, identify limitations and future prospects associated with electrochemical methods. The regenerative mechanism is firstly discussed, followed by a presentation of the varying reactor configurations and operating parameters utilized during the electrochemical treatment of GAC materials exhausted with a broad range of wastewater contaminants. Finally, emerging electrochemical technologies used for the commercial treatment of exhausted adsorbent materials and contaminated soils are discussed.

Abstract
The treatment of low strength wastewater that has the level of discharge standard for wastewater treatment plant was studied using an upflow bioelectrochemical reactor with an applied voltage of 0.6 V. The direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between electroactive bacteria was activated in the upflow bioelectrochemical reactor, which improved the substrate affinity of bacteria. The effluent qualities in COD and ammonia nitrogen was stable at less than 3.5 mg/L and 7.46 mg/L at 1 h of hydraulic retention time, respectively. The conductive materials, including conductive sheets and conductive particles, further increased the biomass retention and the DIET by altering the abundance of dominant bacterial groups. The effluent qualities in COD and ammonia nitrogen was improved up to 1.98 mg/L and 2.65 mg/L, respectively, by the conductive sheets. The upflow bioelectrochemical reactor with conductive materials is a good tertiary treatment process for improving the quality of the final effluent discharged from wastewater treatment plant.

Abstract
The emission of the source effluent of azo dyes has resulted in a serial of environmental problems including of the direct damage of the natural esthetics, the inhibition of the oxygen exchange, the shortage of the photosynthesis, and the reduction of the aquatic flora and fauna. A bioelectrochemical platform (3D-EF-MFCs) combining two-chamber microbial fuel cells and three dimensional electro-Fenton technique were delicately designed and assembled to explore the decolorization, bio-genericity performance of the methyl orange, and the possible biotic-abiotic degradation mechanisms. The 3D-EF-MFCs processes showed higher decolorization efficiencies, COD removals, and better bioelectricity performance than the pure electro-Fenton-microbial fuel cell (EF-MFC) systems. The two-chamber experiments filling with the granular activated carbons were better than the single-chamber packing system on the whole. The moderate increase of Fe2+ ions dosing in the cathode chamber accelerated the formation of •OH, which further enhanced the degradation of the methyl orange (MO). The cathode-decolorization and COD removals were decreased with the increase of MO concentration. However, the degradation performance of MO was indirectly improved in the anode compartment at the same conditions. The bed electrodes played a mediator role in the anode and cathode chambers, certainly elevated the voltage output and the power density, and lowered the internal impedance of EF-MFC process.

Abstract
In this study, a sequential Fe0/H2O2 reaction and biological process was employed as a low-cost depth treatment method to remove recalcitrant compounds from coal-chemical engineering wastewater after regular biological treatment. First of all, a chemical oxygen demand (COD) and color removal efficiency of 66 and 63% was achieved at initial pH of 6.8, 25 mmol L-1 of H2O2, and 2 g L-1 of Fe0 in the Fe0/H2O2 reaction. According to the gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) analysis, the recalcitrant compounds were effectively decomposed into short-chain organic acids such as acetic, propionic, and butyric acids. Although these acids were resistant to the Fe0/H2O2 reaction, they were effectively eliminated in the sequential air lift reactor (ALR) at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 2 h, resulting in a further decrease of COD and color from 120 to 51 mg L-1 and from 70 to 38 times, respectively. A low operational cost of 0.35 $ m-3 was achieved because pH adjustment and iron-containing sludge disposal could be avoided since a total COD and color removal efficiency of 85 and 79% could be achieved at an original pH of 6.8 by the above sequential process with a ferric ion concentration below 0.8 mg L-1 after the Fe0/H2O2 reaction. It indicated that the above sequential process is a promising and cost-effective method for the depth treatment of coal-chemical engineering wastewaters to satisfy discharge requirements.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study an integration of micro-electrolysis with biological reactor (MEBR) for strengthening removal of phenolic compounds in coal gasification wastewater (CGW). The results indicated MEBR achieved high efficiencies in removal of COD and phenolic compounds as well as improvement of biodegradability of CGW under the micro-oxygen condition. The integrated MEBR process was more favorable to improvement of the structural stability of activated sludge and biodiversity of specific functional microbial communities. Especially, Shewanella and Pseudomonas were enriched to accelerate the extracellular electron transfer, finally facilitating the degradation of phenolic compounds. Moreover, MEBR process effectively relieved passivation of Fe-C filler surface and prolonged lifespan of Fe-C filler. Accordingly, the synergetic effect between iron-carbon micro-electrolysis (ICME) and biological action played a significant role in performance of the integrated process. Therefore, the integrated MEBR was a promising practical process for enhancing CGW treatment.

Abstract
Three identical anoxic-aerobic membrane bioreactors (MBRs) were operated in parallel for 300 consecutive days for raw (R1), ozonated (R2) and catalytic ozonated (R3) biologically pretreated coal gasification wastewater (BPCGW) treatment. The results demonstrated that catalytic ozonation process (COP) applied asa pretreatment remarkably improved the performance of the unsatisfactory single MBR. The overall removal efficiencies of COD, NH3-N and TN in R3 were 92.7%, 95.6% and 80.6%, respectively. In addition, typical nitrogenous heterocyclic compounds (NHCs) of quinoline, pyridine and indole were completely removed in the integrated process. Moreover, COP could alter sludge properties and reshape microbial community structure, thus delaying the occurrence of membrane fouling. Finally, the total cost for this integrated process was estimated to be lower than that of single MBR. The results of this study suggest that COP is a good option to enhance pollutants removal and alleviate membrane fouling in the MBR for BPCGW treatment.

Abstract
A novel catalytic particle electrode (CPE) was synthesized from waste rice straw and coal fly ash which was employed to strengthen electro-Fenton treating actual azo dyes containing wastewater. Results showed that the prepared CPE exhibited excellent electro-catalytic activity and significantly improved performance of pollutants removal at near-neutral pH condition, achieving over 73.5 and 90.5% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and color removal percentages, respectively, allowing discharge criteria to be met. And the electro-Fenton with CPE improved the biodegradability of wastewater in terms of BOD5/COD, resazurin dehydrogenase activity, and toxicity, indicating the potential application of integrated biosystem for this type of wastewater. On the basis of inhibition of different radical scavengers and fluorescence test, it was deduced that the main contribution of the novel CPE was responsible for catalyzing electro-generate H2O2 to produce more hydroxyl radicals in electro-Fenton, and the positive role of generation of superoxide anion at near-neutral pH was also proved, further the possible reaction mechanism was proposed. Moreover, CPE showed the advantages of superior stability and low cost at successive runs and the results offered new insights for sustainable use of waste materials.

Abstract
A novel type of catalytic particle electrode (SAC-Fe) was developed from sewage sludge and iron sludge via a facile method. The catalytic particle electrodes (CPEs) were also supposed to be heterogeneous catalyst for electro-Fenton (EF). The CPEs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). SAC-Fe showed superior porous structure and higher adsorption capacity and catalytic activity than Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles. Catechol and total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency can reach 96.7% and 88.3% after three-dimensional (3D) EF with SAC-Fe as CPEs. A possible mechanism was deduced based on adsorption tests and radicals detection. Meanwhile, the stability and reusability of the CPEs were evaluated.

Abstract
In this study, the pyridine and quinoline could be cometabolically degraded by phenol-cultivated Comamonas sp. strain JB(strain JB). The integration of magnetically immobilized cells of JB and an E-Fenton process into one entity has been designed to prepare a novel integration system to improve the treatment efficiency of phenol, pyridine, and quinoline in coking wastewater. The optimal pH for the integration system was 3.5. Degradation rates of phenol, pyridine, quinoline, and COD by the integration system were significantly exceeded the sum degradation rates of the single E-Fenton process and magnetically immobilized cells at the optimal voltage of 1 V. During the 6 cycles, the integration system still showed higher degradation rates than that by the single magnetically immobilized cells for all the compounds. These findings demonstrated that a synergistic effect existed between the biological treatment and the E-Fenton process, and the applied voltage in the integration system played the key roles in the synergistic effect, which not only electrogenerated H2O2 but also improved the activity of phenol hydroxylase and strain JB concentration.

Abstract
Polytetrafluoroethylene/ferromagnetic nanoparticle/carbon black (PTFE/MNP/CB)-modified graphite felt (GF) was successfully applied as cathode for the mineralization of rhodamine B (RhB) in electro-Fenton (EF) process. The modified cathode showed high decolorization efficiency for RhB solution even in neutral pH condition and without external aeration, achieving nearly complete decolorization and 89.52 % total organic carbon (TOC) removal after 270-min oxidation with the MNP load 1.2 g at 50 A/m(2). Moreover, the operational parameters (current density, MNP load, initial pH, and airflow rate) were optimized. After that, adsorption isotherm was also conducted to compare the absorption quantity of CB and carbon nanotube (CNT). Then, the surface morphologies of MNPs were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray detector (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR); and the modified cathode was characterized by SEM and contact angle. Finally, the stability and reusability of modified cathode were tested. Result uncovered that the PTFE/MNP/CB-modified cathode has the potential for industrial application and the solution after treatment was easily biodegradable.

Abstract
The electro-Fenton (EF) process treatment of 0.1-M (rhodamine B) RhB solution was studied with different graphite cathode materials, and graphite felt (GF) was selected as a promising material in further investigation. Then, the degradation performances of gas diffusion electrode (GDE) and graphite felt (GF) were compared, and GDE was confirmed to be more efficient in RhB removal. The operational parameters such as Fe(2+) dosage and current density were optimized, and comparison among different modified methods-polytetrafluoroethylene-carbon black (PTFE-CB), polytetrafluoroethylene-carbon nanotube (PTFE-CNT), electrodeposition-CB, and electrodeposition-CNT-showed 98.49 % RhB removal by PTFE-CB-modified cathode in 0.05 M Na2SO4 at a current density of 50 A/m(2) and an air flow rate of 1 L/min after 20 min. Meanwhile, after cathode modified by PTFE-CB, the mineralization efficiency and mineralization current efficiency performed absolutely better than the pristine one. Cyclic voltammograms, SEM images, contact angles, and BET surface area were carried out to demonstrate stronger current responses and higher hydrophilicity of GF after modified. The value of biochemical oxygen demand/chemical oxygen demand (BOD5/COD) increased from 0.049 to 0.331 after 90-min treatment, suggesting the solution was biodegradable, and the modified cathode was confirmed to be stable after ten circle runs. Finally, a proposed degradation pathway of RhB was put forward.

Abstract
Laboratorial scale experiments were conducted to investigate a novel system three-dimensional catalytic electro-Fenton (3DCEF, catalyst of sewage sludge based activated carbon which loaded Fe3O4) integrating with membrane bioreactor (3DCEF-MBR) on advanced treatment of biologically pretreated coal gasification wastewater. The results indicated that 3DCEF-MBR represented high efficiencies in eliminating COD and total organic carbon, giving the maximum removal efficiencies of 80% and 75%, respectively. The integrated 3DCEF-MBR system significantly reduced the transmembrane pressure, giving 35% lower than conventional MBR after 30 days operation. The enhanced hydroxyl radical oxidation and bacteria self repair function were the mechanisms for 3DCEF-MBR performance. Therefore, the integrated 3DCEF-MBR was expected to be the promising technology for advanced treatment in engineering applications.
