Abstract
Quinoline is a typical nitrogen-heterocyclic compound with high toxicity and carcinogenicity which exists ubiquitously in industrial wastewater. In this study, a new quinoline-degrading bacterial strain Rhodococcus sp. JH145 was isolated from oil-contaminated soil. Strain JH145 could grow with quinoline as the sole carbon source. The optimum growth temperature, pH, and salt concentration were 30 °C, 8.0, and 1%, respectively. 100 mg/L quinoline could be completely removed within 28 h. Particularly, strain JH145 showed excellent quinoline biodegradation ability under a high-salt concentration of 7.5%. Two different quinoline degradation pathways, a typical 8-hydroxycoumarin pathway, and a unique anthranilate pathway were proposed based on the intermediates identified by liquid chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry. Our present results provided new candidates for industrial application in quinoline-contaminated wastewater treatment even under high-salt conditions.

Kumari S, Sengupta S. Non-hydrogen processes for simultaneous desulfurization and denitrogenation of light petroleum fuels-an elaborative review. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:61873-61907. [PMID: 34553278 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-15909-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/06/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The removal of sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds present in petroleum fractions is necessary to meet the stringent environmental regulations and to prevent the environment and humanity from the threats they pose. Conventional hydro-desulfurization and hydro-denitrogenation processes have evolved significantly over the past decade but are limited due to severe operating conditions and inefficiency in removing nitrogen-containing compounds. On the contrary, unconventional non-hydrogen methods for refining of crude oils are beneficial in terms of mild operating conditions and are efficient for eradicating both sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds. Despite being efficient for both sulfur and nitrogen-containing compounds, these techniques suffer due to the hindrance posed by the competitive nature of nitrogen-containing compounds. Thus, it is recommended to develop techniques that can remove both the compounds simultaneously and efficiently. Techniques for simultaneous removal of those compounds can also be expected to reduce the number of unit operations required during refining and can be energy-efficient as well. This elaborative review summarizes the developments done in this field in the past two decades. To improve the understanding of the scientific community towards the feasibility of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrogenation processes, the crucial parameters for efficient desulfurization-denitrogenation processes are also discussed. This review can be expected to encourage the scientific community to search for more economical, energy-efficient, and commercializable pathways for desulfurization-denitrogenation of petroleum oil.

Study of pre-treatment of quinoline in aqueous solution using activated carbon made from low-cost agricultural waste (walnut shells) modified with ammonium persulfate. WATER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY : A JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION ON WATER POLLUTION RESEARCH 2019; 79:2086-2094.

Abstract
Activated carbon made from agricultural waste (walnut shells) was investigated as a suitable adsorbent for effectively removing quinoline from industrial wastewater. The activated carbon was treated with phosphoric acid and oxidized by ammonium persulfate and its ability to adsorb pyridine and quinoline in aqueous solution was investigated. Kinetic parameters for the adsorption process were determined through pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and intraparticle diffusion models. Equilibrium experiments and adsorption isotherms were analyzed using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. After reaching equilibrium, the activated carbon adsorbed quinoline in preference to pyridine: the equilibrium adsorptions from individual aqueous solutions (200 μL L-1) of quinoline and pyridine were 166.907 mg g-1 and 72.165 mg g-1, respectively. Thermodynamic studies of quinoline adsorption were conducted at different temperatures and indicated that quinoline adsorption was an endothermic and spontaneous process. The column-adsorption of quinoline and pyridine was consistent with the Thomas model and the Yoon-Nelson model. The removal efficiency of quinoline reached more than 97% for a velocity of 6 mL min-1 at the initial adsorption stage.
