Principles, challenges and prospects for electro-oxidation treatment of oilfield produced water. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 370:122638. [PMID: 39342833 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.122638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 09/20/2024] [Accepted: 09/21/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024]
Abstract
The oil industry is facing substantial environmental challenges, especially in managing waste streams such as Oilfield Produced Water (OPW), which represents a significant component of the industrial ecological footprint. Conventional treatment methods often fail to effectively remove dissolved oils and grease compounds, leading to operational difficulties and incomplete remediation. Electrochemical oxidation (EO) has emerged as a promising alternative due to its operational simplicity and ability to degrade pollutants directly and indirectly, which has already been applied in treating several effluents containing organic compounds. The application of EO treatment for OPW is still in an initial stage, due to the intricate nature of this matrix and scattered information about it. This study provides a technological overview of EO technology for OPW treatment, from laboratory scale to the development of large-scale prototypes, identifying design and process parameters that can potentially permit high efficiency, applicability, and commercial deployment. Research in this domain has demonstrated notable rates of removal of recalcitrant pollutants (>90%), utilizing active and non-active electrodes. Electro-generated active species, primarily from chloride, play a pivotal role in the oxidation of organic compounds. However, the highly saline conditions in OPW hinder the complete mineralization of these organics, which can be improved by using non-active anodes and lower salinity levels. The performance of electrodes greatly influences the efficiency and effectiveness of OPW treatment. Various factors must be considered when selecting the electrode material, such as its conductivity, stability, surface area, corrosion resistance, and cost. Additionally, the specific contaminants present in the OPW, and their electrochemical reactivity must be considered to ensure optimal treatment outcomes. Balancing these considerations can be challenging, but it is crucial for achieving successful OPW treatment. Active electrode materials exhibit a high affinity for chloride molecules, generating more active species than non-active materials, which exhibit more significant degradation potential due to the production of hydroxyl radicals. Regarding scale-up, key challenges include low current efficiency, the formation of by-products, electrode deactivation, and limitations in mass transfer. To address these issues, enhanced mass transfer rates and appropriate residence times can be achieved using flow-through mesh anodes and moderate current densities, which have proven to be the optimal configuration for this process.

Abstract
In this research, we employed a synergistic three-dimensional (3D)-electrode technology in combination with a photocatalytic method to effectively treat wastewater containing chlorine derived from sulfonated phenolic resin (SMP). To modulate the band gap of single ZnO through semiconductor compounding, we successfully synthesized a ZnO/pyrolusite composite particle electrode on the surface of a pyrolusite particle electrode via a hydrothermal method. By incorporating MnO2 into pyrolusite, the ZnO band gap was modified, leading to a reduction in bandwidth of approximately 1.21 eV compared to pristine ZnO. Consequently, the light absorption range of the material was significantly broadened. Through the synergistic effect of photocatalysis, we achieved an impressive 96.45% removal rate of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in SMP wastewater, which effectively enhanced the photocatalytic performance of the material. Furthermore, our quenching experimental study confirmed the involvement of active chlorine species (ACl: Cl2, HClO, and ClO-), OH, h+, and O2- in the degradation process of SMP within the photocatalytic system constructed by the ZnO/pyrolusite composite particle electrode. The relative contributions were ranked as follows: ACl > h+ > ·OH > ·O2-.

Initially, reactor designs, factors affecting the removal efficiency of pollutants and degradation mechanisms are introduced. In particular, a detailed investigation is conducted into the selection of particle electrode materials and the roles they play in the 3D electrochemical treatment of wastewater. Subsequently, the degradation efficiency and energy consumption associated with 3D electrochemical technology for different pollutants are investigated. Finally, the directions and outlook for further studies on particle electrodes are discussed. We believe that this review will offer a useful perspective on the development and application of particle electrodes for wastewater purification.

Refractory degradable dissolved organic matter (R-DOM) driving nitrogen removal by the electric field coupled iron‑carbon biofilter (E-ICBF): Performance and microbial mechanisms. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 936:173374.

Abstract
Researches on the advanced nitrogen (N) removal of municipal tailwater always overlooked the value of refractory degradable dissolved organic matter (R-DOM). In this study, a novel electric field coupled iron‑carbon biofilter (E-ICBF) was utilized to explore the performance and microbial changes with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as the representative R-DOM. Results demonstrated that the removal efficiencies of E-ICBF for nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N), ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N), and total nitrogen (TN) improved by 28.76 %, 12.96 %, and 28.45 %, compared to quartz sand biofilter (SBF). Moreover, removal efficiencies of NO3--N and TN in E-ICBF with R-DOM went up by 12.11 % and 14.02 % compared to methanol. Additionally, both PEG and the electric field reduced the microbial richness and diversity. However, PEG promoted the increase of denitrifying bacteria abundance including unclassified_f_Comamonadaceae, Thauera, and unclassified_f_Gallionellaceae. The electric field improved the abundances of genes related to N removal (hao, nasC, nasA, nifH, nifD, nifK) and PEG further enhanced the effect. The abundances of key enzymes [EC:1.7.5.1], [EC:1.7.2.1], [EC:1.7.2.4], and [EC:1.7.2.5] decreased due to the addition of PEG and the electric field mitigated the negative influence. Additionally, the electric field changed relationships between microorganisms and pollutant removal, and improved interspecific relationships between denitrifying bacterial genera and other genera in E-ICBF.

Abstract
Bentazone is a broad-leaved weed-specific herbicide in the pesticide industry. This study focused on removing bentazone from water using three different methods: a two and three-dimensional electro-oxidation process (2D/EOP and 3D/EOP) with a fluid-type reactor arrangement using tetraethylenepentamine-loaded particle electrodes and an adsorption method. Additionally, we analysed the effects of two types of supporting electrolytes (Na2SO4 and NaCl) on the degradation process. The energy consumption amounts were calculated to evaluate the obtained results. The degradation reaction occurs 3.5 times faster in 3D/EOP than in 2D/EOP at 6 V in Na2SO4. Similarly, the degradation reaction of bentazone in NaCl occurs 2.5 times faster in 3D/EOP than in 2D/EOP at a value of 7.2 mA/cm2. Removal of bentazone is significantly better in 3D/EOPs than in 2D/EOPs. The use of particle electrodes can significantly enhance the degradation efficiency. The study further assessed the prediction abilities of the machine learning model (ANN). The ANN presented reasonable accuracy in bentazone degradation with high R2 values of 0.97953, 0.98561, 0.98563, and 0.99649 for 2D with Na2SO4, 2D with NaCl, 3D with Na2SO4, and 3D with NaCl, respectively.

Abstract
Degradation of organics in high-salinity wastewater is beneficial to meeting the requirement of zero liquid discharge for coking wastewater treatment. Creating efficient and stable performance catalysts for high-salinity wastewater treatment is vital in catalytic ozonation process. Compared with ozonation alone, Mn and Ce co-doped γ-Al2O3 could remarkably enhance activities of catalytic ozonation for chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal (38.9%) of brine derived from a two-stage reverse osmosis treatment. Experimental and theoretical calculation results indicate that introducing Mn could increase the active points of catalyst surface, and introducing Ce could optimize d-band electronic structures and promote the electron transport capacity, enhancing HO• bound to the catalyst surface ([HO•]ads) generation. [HO•]ads plays key roles for degrading the intermediates and transfer them into low molecular weight organics, and further decrease COD, molecular weights and number of organics in reverse osmosis concentrate. Under the same reaction conditions, the presence of Mn/γ-Al2O3 catalyst can reduce ΔO3/ΔCOD by at least 37.6% compared to ozonation alone. Furthermore, Mn-Ce/γ-Al2O3 catalytic ozonation can reduce the ΔO3/ΔCOD from 2.6 of Mn/γ-Al2O3 catalytic ozonation to 0.9 in the case of achieving similar COD removal. Catalytic ozonation has the potential to treat reverse osmosis concentrate derived from bio-treated coking wastewater reclamation.

Abstract
In this study, a novel three-dimensional biofilm electrode reactor (3D-BER) with a graphene oxide (GO)-modified cathode was developed to enhance the denitrification performance of secondary effluent from wastewater treatment plants (SEWTPs). The effects of different hydraulic retention times (HRTs) and currents on the 3D-BER were explored. The results indicated that at the optimal HRT of 4 h and current of 350 mA/m2, the 3D-BER with GO-modified cathode had a higher denitrification rate (2.40 ± 0.1 mg TN/L/h) and less accumulation of intermediate products, especially with 3.34% total nitrogen (TN) molar conversion to N2O. The GO-modified cathode offered a large biocompatible specific surface area and enhanced the conductivity, which favored microbial growth and increased electron transfer efficiency and extracellular enzyme activities. Moreover, the activity of nitrite reductase increased more than that of nitrate reductase to accelerate nitrite reduction, thus facilitating the denitrification process. The proposed 3D-BER provided an effective solution to elevate tertiary denitrification in the SEWTP.

Abstract
Advanced treatment of refractory industrial wastewater is still a challenge. Coking wastewater is one of coal chemical wastewater, which contains various refractory organic pollutants. To meet the more and more rigorous discharge standard and increase the reuse ratio of coking wastewater, advanced treatment process must be set for treating the biologically treated coking wastewater. To date, several advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), including Fenton, ozone, persulfate-based oxidation, and iron-carbon micro-electrolysis, have been applied for the advanced treatment of coking wastewater. However, the performance of different advanced treatment processes changed greatly, depending on the components of coking wastewater and the unique characteristics of advanced treatment processes. In this review article, the state-of-the-art advanced treatment process of coking wastewater was systematically summarized and analyzed. Firstly, the major organic pollutants in the secondary effluents of coking wastewater was briefly introduced, to better understand the characteristics of the biologically treated coking wastewater. Then, the performance of various advanced treatment processes, including physiochemical methods, biological methods, advanced oxidation methods and combined methods were discussed for the advanced treatment of coking wastewater in detail. Finally, the conclusions and remarks were provided. This review will be helpful for the proper selection of advanced treatment processes and promote the development of advanced treatment processes for coking wastewater.

Abstract
The three-dimensional electrocatalytic oxidation (3DEO) is a promising electrochemical system in the treatment of refractory wastewater, but still far from large-scale applications. In this work, we prepared 146.5 Kg Ti-Sn-Sb@γ-Al2O3 particle electrodes to construct a 3DEO system for the pretreatment of hypersaline and high-organic wastewater in an industrial park sewage plant, with activated carbon particle electrodes as a comparison. The average COD removal rates of Ti-Sn-Sb@γ-Al2O3 and activated carbon-based 3DEO systems were 24.43 and 48.73%, respectively, and the energy consumption of the two 3DEO systems were 102.8 and 31.4 kWh/Kg COD, respectively. However, compared to the negligible enhancement of wastewater biodegradability in the activated carbon 3DEO system, the Ti-Sn-Sb@γ-Al2O3 3DEO system greatly improved the biochemical index (B/C) from 0.021 to 0.166 (by 690.5%). Due to its superior catalytic capacity, Ti-Sn-Sb@γ-Al2O3 outperforms activated carbon in improving biodegradability as the latter relies mainly on adsorption. The results of this work provide a 3DEO engineering practice experience on the pretreatment of hypersaline and high-organic wastewater.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 462:132729. [PMID: 37839377 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132729] [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: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
The outbreaks of cyanobacterial blooms have caused severe threat to aquatic ecosystem and public health. In this work, electrochemical technology with RuO2/IrO2/Ti (RIT) or/and Al as anode for cyanobacterial bloom control and simultaneous water purification were studied. Compared with RIT-Al and Al electrodes, RIT exhibited the highest effects on bloom algae inactivation and inhibition of algae regrowth. Live/dead analysis, SEM, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant system activities revealed that RIT could disintegrate bloom flocs and damage embedded algal cells due to high intensity of oxidation. With the lysis of cyanobacterial bloom, high content of intracellular compounds containing organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus released, necessitating water quality restoration. In the subsequent water purification process, RIT-Al overtook RIT and Al in removal of organic and nutrient pollutants due to the complex effects of electro-oxidation, coagulation, co-precipitation, electro-nitrification and electro-denitrification. Therefore, sequential electro-oxidation and electro-oxidation-coagulation process was an effective method for control cyanobacteria bloom and simultaneous removal of DOM, microcystin-LR (MC-LR), nitrogen and phosphorus, which is a promising technology.

Abstract
Based on Iron cathodes, nitrate could be selectively decomposed into other lower-valence nitrogen compounds, including ammonia, nitrogen gas, nitrite and nitric oxide, but the removal efficiencies of nitrate and total nitrogen (TN), are affected significantly by the synergistic effects of anodes, chloride electrolyte and conductive plastic particles electrodes. In this work, the base material Titanium (Ti) metal plates and plastic particles which surfaces were mainly coated with Ru-Sn oxidizing compounds, were applied as plates anodes and conductive particles electrodes in Three Dimensional Electrode Reactors (TDER). The Ti/RuSn plate anodes showed excellent performance on degrading nitrate, more nitrogen gas (83.84%) and less ammonia (15.51%) was produced, less TN and Iron ion (0.02 mg/L) was left in the wastewater, and less amount of chemical sludge (0.20 g/L) was produced. Furthermore, the removal efficiencies of nitrate and TN were further increased by the surface-modified plastic particles, which were cheap, reusable, corrosion-resistance, easy to obtain as manufactured materials and light to be suspended in waters. The degradation of nitrate and its intermediates was enhanced possibly by the continuous synergistic reactions initiated by hydrogen radicals, which was generated on the countless surficial active Ru-Sn sites of Ti/RuSn metal plate anodes and plastic particles electrodes, among residual nitrogen intermediates, most of ammonia was selectively converted to gaseous nitrogen by hypochlorite from chloride ion reaction.

Abstract
This study produced a biomass-based cylindrical electrode containing sucrose (an organic binder). The Cu2+ removal performance of the synthesized sucrose-bonded cylindrical electrode was evaluated in a 3-phase 3-dimensional electro-oxidation reactor (3D-EO) and the classical electro-oxidation method (2D-EO). Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDs) was grafted onto activated carbon and used as microelectrode in 3D-EO reactors. SDs grafting resulted in a 57% reduction in the micropores of activated carbon. Therefore, the surface area of carbon after grafting decreased from 1328 m2/g to 580 m2/g. The sucrose-bonded cylindrical electrode has a rich carbon structure and consists of 84.04 wt% C, 12.10 wt% O and 3.20 wt%Si. According to CV measurement, the sucrose-bonded cylindrical electrode gives a surface reaction against Cu2+ at voltages lower than -0.62 V. Increasing the potential difference from 1V to 3V in 2D-EO and 3D-EO processes led to the removal of Cu2+ from the solution. The 3D-EO reactor achieved a removal rate of 87.12% at 3V. The 100 ppm solution was treated with a 3D-EO reactor containing 6 g/L of PC/SDs400Ws for 60 min, successfully removing 91.22% of Cu2+.

Abstract
A three-dimensional biofilm-electrode reactor (3D-BER) that combined heterotrophic and autotrophic denitrification (HAD) was developed to remove nitrate. The denitrification performance of the 3D-BER was evaluated under different experimental conditions, including current intensities (0-80 mA), COD/N ratios (0.5-5), and hydraulic retention times (2-12 h). The results showed that excessive current limited the nitrate removal efficiency. However, a longer hydraulic retention time was not required to achieve a better denitrification effect in the 3D-BER. Moreover, the nitrate could be effectively reduced over a broad range of COD/Ns (1-2.5), and its removal rate peaked at 89% at I = 40 mA, HRT = 8 h, and COD/N = 2. Although the current reduced the diversity of microorganisms in the system, it promoted the growth of dominant species. Nitrification microorganisms were enriched in the reactor, especially Thauera and Hydrogenophaga, which were crucial to the denitrification process. Thus, the combination of autotrophic denitrification and heterotrophic denitrification was promoted by the 3D-BER system to increase the efficiency of nitrogen removal.

Abstract
As an important component of air pollution, the efficient removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is one of the most important challenges in the world. VOCs are harmful to the environment and human health. This review systematically introduced the main VOC control technologies and research hotspots in recent years, and expanded the description of electrocatalytic oxidation technology and bimetallic catalytic removal technology. Based on a three-dimensional electrode reactor, the theoretical design of a VOC removal control technology using bimetallic three-dimensional particle electrode electrocatalytic oxidation was proposed for the first time. The future research focus of this method was analyzed, and the importance of in-depth exploration of the catalytic performance of particle electrodes and the system reaction mechanism was emphasized. This review provides a new idea for using clean and efficient methods to remove VOCs.

Abstract
Three anodic biofilm electrode coupled CWs (BECWs) with graphite (E-C), aluminum (E-Al), and iron (E-Fe), respectively, and a control system (CK) were constructed to evaluate the removal performance of N and P in the secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) under different hydraulic retention time (HRT), electrified time (ET), and current density (CD). Microbial communities, and different P speciation, were analyzed to reveal the potential removal pathways and mechanism of N and P in BECWs. Results showed that the optimal average TN and TP removal rates of CK (34.10% and 55.66%), E-C (66.77% and 71.33%), E-Al (63.46% and 84.93%), and E-Fe (74.93% and 91.22%) were obtained under the optimum conditions (HRT 10 h, ET 4 h, CD 0.13 mA/cm2), which demonstrated that the biofilm electrode could significantly improve N and P removal. Microbial community analysis showed that E-Fe owned the highest abundance of chemotrophic Fe(II) (Dechloromonas) and hydrogen autotrophic denitrifying bacteria (Hydrogenophaga). N was mainly removed by hydrogen and iron autotrophic denitrification in E-Fe. Moreover, the highest TP removal rate of E-Fe was attributed to the iron ion formed on the anode, causing co-precipitation of Fe(II) or Fe(III) with PO43--P. The Fe released from the anode acted as carriers for electron transport and accelerated the efficiency of biological and chemical reactions to enhance the simultaneous removal of N and P. Thus, BECWs provide a new perspective for the treatment of the secondary effluent from WWTPs.

Abstract
This study investigated Ni+2 removal performance in 3DER reactors where electrocoagulation mechanisms and microelectrodes are used together. EDTA modification was carried out on the granule-activated carbon surface to increase the efficiency and affinity of microelectrodes against Ni+2 molecules. The grafting was examined using BET, FT-IR, SEM, EDS, and the elemental mapping methods. With the surface analyses made in this study, it was revealed that EDTA modification on granulated activated carbon was successfully performed. Also, 8.48%wt by mass of EDTA grafting on granular activated carbon was possible. EDTA functionalization did not affect the surface pore structures of CAC much. Under 10 V potential, 97.82% Ni removal efficiency was obtained with 2D in 35 min, while 96.69% removal in 10 min and 100% removal in 15 min were obtained in the 3D reactor. The Ni+2 removal mechanism in 3DER reactors has been determined to conform to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The k2 value obtained for 10 V (1.36 10-2) is 27 times the k2 value obtained for 5 V for 3DER reactors. In addition, using central composite design (CCD), operational parameters such as time, concentration, and potential difference affecting Ni+2 removal in 3DER reactors have been optimized. The most influential parameter is the applied voltage, followed by time and concentration. It has been determined that 3DER reactors using EDTA-modified microelectrodes are highly efficient and suitable for Ni+2 removal.

Abstract
Aniline is a highly bio-toxic industrial product, even at low concentrations, whose related wastewater has been flowing out worldwide on a large scale along with human production. As a green technology, aerobic biological treatment has been widely applied in industrial wastewater and exhibited various characteristics in the field of aniline wastewater. Meanwhile, this technology has shown its potential of synchronous nitrogen removal, but it still consumes energy badly. In the face of resource scarcity, this review comprehensively discusses the existing research in aerobic biodegradation of aniline wastewater to find out the developmental dawn of aerobic biological treatment. Primarily, it put forward the evolution history details of aniline biodegradation from pure culture to mixed culture and then to simultaneous nitrogen removal. On this basis, it presented the existing challenges to further expand the application of aerobic biotechnology, including the confusions of aniline metabolic mechanism, the development of co-degradation of multiple pollutants and the lack of practical experience of bioreactor operation for aniline and nitrogen removal. Additionally, the prospects of the technological shift to meet the needs of an energy-conserving society was described according to existing experiences and feasibility. Including but not limiting to the development of multifunctional bacteria, the reduction of greenhouse gases and the combination of green technologies.

Abstract
Nitrogen (N) pollution in water has become a serious issue that cannot be ignored due to the harm posed by excessive nitrogen to environmental safety and human health; as such, N concentrations in water are strictly limited. The bioelectrochemical system (BES) is a new method to remove excessive N from water, and has attracted considerable attention. Compared with other methods, it is highly efficient and has low energy consumption. However, the BES has not been applied for N removal in practice due to lack of in-depth research on the mechanism and construction of high-performance electrodes, separators, and reactor configurations; this highlights a need to review and examine the efforts in this field. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the current BES research for N removal focusing on the reaction principles, reactor configurations, electrodes and separators, and treatment of actual wastewater; the corresponding performances in these realms are also discussed. Finally, the prospects for N removal in water using the BES are presented.

Enhanced Electrodesorption Performance via Cathode Potential Extension during Capacitive Deionization. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
Complete desorption of contaminants from electrode materials is required for the efficient utilization and long service life of capacitive deionization (CDI) but remains a major challenge. The electrodesorption capacity of CDI in the conventional electrode configuration is limited by the narrow electrochemical stability window of water, which lowers the operating potential to approximately 1.2 V. Here, we report a graphite anode–titanium cathode electrode configuration that extends the cathode potential to −1.7 V and provides an excellent (100%) electrodesorption performance, which is maintained after five cycles. The improvement of the cathode potential depends on the redox property of the electrode. The stronger the oxidizability of the anode and reducibility of the cathode, the wider the cathode potential. The complete desorption potential of SO42− predicted by theoretical electrochemistry was the foundation for optimizing the electrode configuration. The desorption efficiency of Cl− depended on the ionic strength and was negligibly affected by circulating velocities above 112 mL min−1. This work can direct the design optimizations of CDI devices, especially for reactors undergoing chemisorption during the electrosorption process.

[PMID: 34653583 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2021] [Revised: 09/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Electric and magnetic fields characterized by high efficiency, low consumption and environment-friendly performance have recently generated interest as a possible measure to enhance the performance of the biological treatment process used to remove refractory organics. Few studies have been carried out to-date regarding the simultaneous application of electric and magnetic fields on biofilm process to degrade diclofenac. In this study, 3DEM-BAF was designed to evaluate the electrio-magnetic superposition effect on diclofenac removal performance, kinetics, community structure and synergistic mechanism. The results show that 3DEM-BAF could significantly increase the average removal rate of diclofenac by 65.30 %, 57.46 %, 9.48 % as compared with that of BAF, 3DM-BAF, 3DE-BAF, respectively. The diclofenac degradation kinetic constants and dehydrogenase activity of 3DEM-BAF were almost 6.72 and 2.53 times higher than those of BAF. Microorganisms of 3DEM-BAF in the Methylophilus and Methyloversatilis genera were distinctively enriched, which was attributed to the screening function of electric field and propagation effect of magnetic field. Moreover, three processes were found to contribute to diclofenac degradation, namely electro-magnetic-adsorption, electro-chemical oxidation and electro-magnetic-biodegradation. Thus, the simultaneous application of electric and magnetic fields on biofilm process was demonstrated to be a promising technique as well as a viable alternative in diclofenac degradation enhancement.

Abstract
Three-dimensional biofilm electrode reactors (3D-BERs) are highly efficient in refractory wastewater treatment. In comparison to conventional bio-electrochemical systems, the filled particle electrodes act as both electrodes and microbial carriers in 3D-BERs. This article reviews the conception and basic mechanisms of 3D-BERs, as well as their current development. The advantages of 3D-BERs are illustrated with an emphasis on the synergy of electricity and microorganisms. Electrode materials utilized in 3D-BERs are systematically summarized, especially the critical particle electrodes. The configurations of 3D-BERs and their integration with wastewater treatment reactors are introduced. Operational parameters and the adaptation of 3D-BERs to varieties of wastewater are discussed. The prospects and challenges of 3D-BERs for wastewater treatment are then presented, and the future research directions are proposed. We believe that this timely review will help to attract more attentions on 3D-BERs investigation, thus promoting the potential application of 3D-BERs in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Coking wastewater is typically refractory, mainly due to its biological toxicity and complex composition. In this study, a novel integrated biological-electrocatalytic process consisting of two three-dimensional electrochemical reactors (3DERs), two biological aerated filters (BAFs), and a three-dimensional biofilm electrode reactor (3DBER) is developed for the advanced treatment of coking wastewater. 73.21% of chemical oxygen demand (COD), 38.02% of ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) and 91.46% of nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N) are removed by 3DERs. BAFs mainly convert NH4+-N to NO3--N through microbial nitrification. The 3DBER removes the residual NO3--N by bio-electrochemical denitrification. The integrated system can eliminate 74.72-83.27% of COD, 99.38-99.74% of NH4+-N, and 69.64-99.83% of total nitrogen from coking wastewater during the continuous operation, as well as significantly reducing the toxicity of the wastewater. The superiorities of the integrated 3DERs/BAFs/3DBER system recommend the application of such biological-electrocatalytic technology in the treatment of highly toxic wastewater.

Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) electrochemical technology is regarded as a very effective industrial wastewater treatment method as it has high treatment efficiency, high current efficiency, and low energy consumption, and especially can completely mineralize nonbiodegradable organic pollutants. The core of the 3D electrochemical technology is a particle electrode, and the particle electrode plays several important roles for removing pollutants during the electrochemical reaction process. Many types of particle electrodes have been developed and used for different types of wastewater treatment. In this paper, a comprehensive review on the research and development of particle electrodes of the 3D electrochemical reactors for wastewater treatment is conducted. Specifically, the role that the particle electrode plays during the 3D electrochemical treatment of wastewater is thoroughly investigated and systematized. In addition, the different types of particle electrodes used in the 3D electrochemical wastewater treatment are classified into several types according to the presence or absence of a catalyst and the main components of the particle electrode or carrier. Also, focusing on the recent research results, the structural characteristics, performance, advantages and defects, and the role of catalyst components of each particle electrodes are evaluated. Finally, the direction and prospect of future research on the particle electrode is presented.

Abstract
Novel particle electrodes, i.e. flotation tailings particle electrode (FPE), were prepared using flotation tailings, garden soil, and soluble starch with a mass ratio of 16:3:1, and then used in tetracycline wastewater treatment. The physicochemical properties of FPE were systematically characterized using SEM, XRD, FT-IR and XRF. Tetracycline adsorption and its adsorption mechanism onto FPE was explored for the first time. Parameters affecting FPE's degradation efficiency and energy consumption such as current density, electrolysis time, initial concentration, initial pH and aeration rate were examined. The electrocatalytic degradation of tetracycline shows that the degradation of tetracycline meets the pseudo-first-order kinetics. Moreover, the numbers of •OH produced on the surfaces of the cathode, anode and particle electrode were compared. Results showed that the adsorption-saturated FPE can be regenerated by electrochemical action to induce further absorption and form in-situ electrocatalysis. In order to find out the transformation products in water and degradation pathways of Tetracycline, UHPLC method was used to obtain the degradation pathways for Tetracycline. So, this work could provide a fabrication of high-efficiency and low-cost electrocatalytic for removal of pharmaceuticals pollutants from waste water as well as deeper insight into electrocatalytic mechanism, transformation products, and degradation pathways of Tetracycline in water.

Abstract
Coke powders in the coking wastewater generated by petroleum refining industry needs to be removed to achieve water reuse for lack of water resources. This study developed a decoking hydrocyclone in the closed coking wastewater circulation treatment system to remove coke powders, which was highly efficient and environmentally friendly. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method was carried out to study the tangential velocity distribution index n-value to guide design of decoking hydrocyclone and experiment was conducted to verify the coke powders removal effect. It was found that the increase of n-value is conducive to the improvement of coke powders separation efficiency. A decoking hydrocyclone with a cone angle of 15° and an inlet size of 4 × 6 mm is the optimum hydrocyclone and the recovery efficiency of coke powders is stable at more than 90%. It is the first time for hydrocyclone successfully applied to the removal of coke powders in coking wastewater in the decoking process of petroleum refining industry, in which the separation efficiency of coke powders is considerably improved.

Disinfection of Wastewater by UV-Based Treatment for Reuse in a Circular Economy Perspective. Where Are We at? INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 18:ijerph18010077.

Abstract
Among the critical issues that prevent the reuse of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) effluents in a circular economy perspective, the microbiological component plays a key role causing infections and diseases. To date, the use of conventional chemical oxidants (e.g., chlorine) represent the main applied process for wastewater (WW) disinfection following a series of operational advantages. However, toxicity linked to the production of highly dangerous disinfection by-products (DBPs) has been widely demonstrated. Therefore, in recent years, there is an increasing attention to implement sustainable processes, which can simultaneously guarantee the microbiological quality of the WWs treated and the protection of both humans and the environment. This review focuses on treatments based on ultraviolet radiation (UV) alone or in combination with other processes (sonophotolysis, photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis with both natural and artificial light) without the dosage of chemical oxidants. The strengths of these technologies and the most significant critical issues are reported. To date, the use of synthetic waters in laboratory tests despite real waters, the capital and operative costs and the limited, or absent, experience of full-scale plant management (especially for UV-based combined processes) represent the main limits to their application on a larger scale. Although further in-depth studies are required to ensure full applicability of UV-based combined processes in WWTPs for reuse of their purified effluents, excellent prospects are presented thanks to an absent environmental impact in terms of DBPs formation and excellent disinfection yields of microorganisms (in most cases higher than 3-log reduction).

Abstract
Nitrate removal from low carbon water is a problem in the water treatment, especially in the presence of high sulfate. In this work, an up-flow three-dimensional biofilm electrode reactor (3D-BER) was established to remove nitrate and sulfate from low organic carbon water. Results indicated that sulfate negatively affected nitrate removal. Moreover, high electric current and short hydraulic retention time deteriorated the performance of nitrate and sulfate removal. When the influent of SO42- was 150 mg/L, the removal efficiency of NO3--N and SO42- was 88.49 ± 4.5% and 29.35 ± 5.5%, respectively. The high-throughput sequencing revealed that denitrifying bacteria dominated in the lower part of the reactor while sulfate reducing bacteria dominated in the upper part of the reactor. It was speculated that oxidation products of sulfide could serve as supplementary electron donors to enhance nitrate removal in the 3D-BER.

Abstract
One of the critical problems for practical application of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) is the poor electron transfer between microbial cells and anode. Hence, good biocompatibility and high specific surface area of electrodes are indispensable for MFC scale-up. In this study, three-dimensional electrode MFC (3DEMFC) was developed by filling biochar between anode and cathode. Three types of biochar electrodes (biochar, biochar and zeolite mixture, and MgO-modified biochar) were employed, and the performance of 3DEMFCs treating nitrogen in wastewater was investigated. The results showed that the highest power density of MFCs was 4.45 ± 0.21 W m-3 achieved by 3DEMFC filled with MgO-modified biochar, and the overall power generation of 3DEMFCs (2.40 ± 0.28 ~ 4.45 ± 0.21 W m-3) was higher than that of MFC without biochar (1.31 ± 0.24 W m-3). The linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) results also demonstrated biochar addition to MFC was conducive to electron transfer between microbes and anode and MgO-modified biochar presented the highest coulombs transfer ability. Moreover, the highest removal efficiencies of ammonium, total nitrogen, and COD (93.6 ± 3.2%, 84.8 ± 2%, and 91.6 ± 1.3%, respectively) were achieved by 3DEMFC containing MgO-modified biochar, and simultaneous short-cut nitrification and denitrification were observed in MFCs. Furthermore, the SEM images displayed the bacteria adhesion on biochar and the biofilm dry weights of MgO-modified biochar after experiment was the highest of 103 ± 4 mg g-1 among three kinds of biochar electrodes. Therefore, the power generation and nitrogen removal conspicuously enhanced in 3DEMFCs and biochar exhibited excellent biocompatibility and distinct electrochemical performance for MFC practical applications in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Electrochemical decomposition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was firstly investigated over titania nanotubes (TNTs) arrays electrode. The TNTs layer of this electrode consisted of numerous tubular structures which arranged tightly, and the average diameter of each nanotube is 100 ± 5 nm. The degradation of LPS and polysaccharides followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The optimal LPS removal ratio was nearly 80 %. The endotoxin toxicity of LPS steadily decreased during the electrolysis process. The acute toxicity of the intermediates increased suddenly at the beginning of electrochemical degradation process (< 5 min), then maintained high inhibition ratio (> 95 %) for about 150 min, and decreased significantly (< 10 %) after electrolysis for 240 min. After 20 min of electrolysis, LPS with molecular weight of 116,854 Da was transformed into small molecular compounds with molecular weights of 59,312 - 12,209 Da. Possible degradation and detoxification mechanisms of LPS including electric-field-force-driving accumulation, adsorption and direct electron transfer on TNTs arrays electrode, and •OH oxidation were proposed. This study underscores that electrochemical technique can be applied to eliminate and decrease the toxicity of LPS from contaminated water.

Abstract
Coking wastewater is highly toxic and refractory industrial wastewater, and is thus extremely challenging to treat. Currently, most treatment technologies focus on degrading carbonaceous pollutants, while insufficient attention is placed on ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N), the most important nitrogenous contaminant in coking wastewater and with a high biological toxicity. In the current study, we developed an integrated electrochemical system comprising two three-dimensional electrochemical reactors (3DERs), two three-dimensional biofilm electrode reactors (3DBERs) and one three-dimensional biofilm electrode reactor for denitrification (3DBER-De) to treat coking wastewater rich in NH4+-N. Our integrated system is able to remove 70.7% of total nitrogen (TN) at the low energy consumption of 1.29 kWh m-3, and can reduce COD by 55.8%. The 3DERs primarily degrade NH4+-N, nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N), and COD by electrochemical redox reactions, while the 3DBERs convert residual NH4+-N to NO3--N by fusing biofilm and electricity. Moreover, the 3DBER-De further eliminates NO3--N by bio-electrochemical denitrification. The coking wastewater is purified as it flows through the integrated treatment system, with only a few hydrocarbon residuals detected that are able to be readily biodegraded by conventional biological treatments. The proposed 3DERs/3DBERs/3DBER-De system provides a new solution for coking wastewater with high concentrations of NH4+-N.

Abstract
Coking wastewater is highly concentrated and extremely toxic, greatly challenging the treatment technologies. Conventional biological technology such as anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A2O) system is inefficient, since various biological reactions are inhibited by toxicants in coking wastewater. In this work, a pilot-scale three-dimensional electrochemical reactor (3DER) is integrated into the A2O system as a pretreatment unit to improve the treatment efficiency of coking wastewater. The results indicate that 3DER pretreatment increased the biodegradability of coking wastewater, promoting the degradation of coking wastewater in A2O system. The integrated 3DER-A2O system can remove 94.4% of COD and 76.2% of TN from coking wastewater, and the energy consumption was only 0.22 kWh/kg COD and 4.69 kWh/kg TN. The components of coking wastewater were significantly simplified and the acute toxicity was reduced from 99% to 12% after the treatment. The integrated 3DER-A2O system provides a new solution for coking wastewater treatment, showing a promising application potential.

Abstract
A three-dimensional particle electrode loaded with α-Fe2O3 on powdered activated carbon (PAC) (α-Fe2O3/PAC) was synthesized by the microwave method for removing ammonium nitrogen from wastewater in a three-dimensional electrode system. The α-Fe2O3/PAC electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of the added α-Fe2O3/PAC on the removal of ammonium nitrogen from simulated wastewater was studied by changing the cell voltage, particle dosage, and particle electrode synthesis conditions. Simulated experiments were also carried out on different pollutants under the best experimental conditions and the actual domestic sewage was tested. The results show that the optimal synthesis conditions of the particle electrode are as follows: the ratio of PAC to anhydrous FeCl3 is 1 : 2, and the microwave power is 1000 W for 60 s. After 20 min of electrolysis at 20 V, the ammonium nitrogen removal rate can reach 95.30%. A microwave method was used to synthesis α-Fe2O3/PAC 3D particle electrode rapidly which can remove NH4+–N from wastewater.![]()

Effect of the coexposure of sulfadiazine, ciprofloxacin and zinc on the fate of antibiotic resistance genes, bacterial communities and functions in three-dimensional biofilm-electrode reactors. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2020; 296:122290. [PMID: 31677404 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2019.122290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2019] [Revised: 10/15/2019] [Accepted: 10/16/2019] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Three-dimensional biofilm electrode reactors (3D-BERs) with high treatment efficiency were constructed to treat wastewater containing sulfadiazine (SDZ) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) coexposure with Zinc (Zn). The results showed that coexposure to target antibiotics and Zn increased the absolute and relative abundances of target antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Additionally, the target ARG abundances were higher on cathode of 3D-BER compared with ordinary anaerobic reactor while the abundances of total ARGs were decreased in the effluent. Meanwhile, redundancy analysis results revealed that the composition of bacteria carrying ARGs was greatly influenced in the cathode by the accumulation of Zn and antibiotic, which dominated the changes of ARG abundances. Additionally, ARGs with their host bacteria revealed by network analysis were partially deposited on electrode substrates when being removed from wastewater. Thus, 3D-BER exhibits capability of simultaneously eliminating antibiotic and Zn, and greatly reduces the risks of ARGs spread.
