JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 478:135484. [PMID: 39173382 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135484] [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: 08/07/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
A hydrophobic Cu2O cathode (CuxO-L) was designed to solve the challenge of low oxidation ability in electro-Fenton (EF) for treating emerging pollutants. This fabrication process involved forming Cu(OH)2 nanorods by oxidizing copper foam (Cu-F) with (NH4)2S2O8, followed by coating them with glucose via hydrothermal treatment. Finally, a self-assembled monolayer of 1-octadecanethiol was introduced to create a low-surface-energy, functionalized CuxO-L cathode. Results exhibited an approximately 7.9-fold increase in hydroxyl radical (·OH) generation compared to the initial Cu-F. This enhancement was attributed to two key factors: (Ⅰ) the superior O2-capturing ability of CuxO-L cathode, which led to high H2O2 production due to a 2 nm thick hydrophobic gas layer facilitated O2-capturing; (Ⅱ) a relative high concentration of Cu+ at the CuxO-L cathode promoted the activation of H2O2 into·OH. In addition, the performance of EF with the CuxO-L cathode using sulfathiazole (STZ) as a model pollutant was evaluated. This study offers valuable insights into the design of O2-capturing cathodes in EF processes, particularly for treating emerging organic pollutants.

Physical-Chemical Coupling Coassembly Approach to Branched Magnetic Mesoporous Nanochains with Adjustable Surface Roughness. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2309564.

Abstract
Self-assembly processes triggered by physical or chemical driving forces have been applied to fabricate hierarchical materials with subtle nanostructures. However, various physicochemical processes often interfere with each other, and their precise control has remained a great challenge. Here, in this paper, a rational synthesis of 1D magnetite-chain and mesoporous-silica-nanorod (Fe3O4&mSiO2) branched magnetic nanochains via a physical-chemical coupling coassembly approach is reported. Magnetic-field-induced assembly of magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles and isotropic/anisotropic assembly of mesoporous silica are coupled to obtain the delicate 1D branched magnetic mesoporous nanochains. The nanochains with a length of 2-3 µm in length are composed of aligned Fe3O4@mSiO2 nanospheres with a diameter of 150 nm and sticked-out 300 nm long mSiO2 branches. By properly coordinating the multiple assembly processes, the density and length of mSiO2 branches can well be adjusted. Because of the unique rough surface and length in correspondence to bacteria, the designed 1D Fe3O4&mSiO2 branched magnetic nanochains show strong bacterial adhesion and pressuring ability, performing bacterial inhibition over 60% at a low concentration (15 µg mL-1). This cooperative coassembly strategy deepens the understanding of the micro-nanoscale assembly process and lays a foundation for the preparation of the assembly with adjustable surface structures and the subsequent construction of complex multilevel structures.

Abstract
Hierarchical self-assembly with long-range order above centimeters widely exists in nature. Mimicking similar structures to promote reaction kinetics of electrochemical energy devices is of immense interest, yet remains challenging. Here, we report a bottom-up self-assembly approach to constructing ordered mesoporous nanofibers with a structure resembling vascular bundles via electrospinning. The synthesis involves self-assembling polystyrene (PS) homopolymer, amphiphilic diblock copolymer, and precursors into supramolecular micelles. Elongational dynamics of viscoelastic micelle solution together with fast solvent evaporation during electrospinning cause simultaneous close packing and uniaxial stretching of micelles, consequently producing polymer nanofibers consisting of oriented micelles. The method is versatile for the fabrication of large-scale ordered mesoporous nanofibers with adjustable pore diameter and various compositions such as carbon, SiO2, TiO2 and WO3. The aligned longitudinal mesopores connected side-by-side by tiny pores offer highly exposed active sites and expedite electron/ion transport. The assembled electrodes deliver outstanding performance for lithium metal batteries.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 246:120695. [PMID: 37812978 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) is regarded as an environmentally friendly oxidant because of its low formation of toxic byproducts. However, this study revealed the potential risk of generating disinfection byproducts (DBPs) when treating iodine-containing wastewater with PAA. The transformation efficiency of bisphenol A (BPA), a commonly detected phenolic contaminant and a surrogate for phenolic moieties in dissolved organic matter, by PAA increased rapidly in the presence of I-, which was primarily attributed to the formation of active iodine (HOI/I2) in the system. Kinetic model simulations demonstrated that the second-order rate constant between PAA and HOI was 54.0 M-1 s-1 at pH 7.0, which was lower than the generation rate of HOI via the reaction between PAA and I-. Therefore, HOI can combine with BPA to produce iodine disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs). The transformation of BPA and the generation of I-DBPs in the I-/PAA system were highly pH-dependent. Specifically, acidic conditions were more favorable for BPA degradation because of the higher reaction rates of BPA and HOI. More iodinated aromatic products were detected after 5 min of the reaction under acidic and neutral conditions, resulting in higher toxicity towards E. coli. After 12 h of the reaction, more adsorbable organic iodine (AOI) was generated at alkaline conditions because HOI was not able to efficiency transform to IO3-. The presence of H2O2 in the PAA solution played a role in the reaction with HOI, particularly under alkaline conditions. This study significantly advances the understanding of the role of I- in BPA oxidation by PAA and provides a warning to further evaluate the potential environmental risk during the treatment of iodine-bearing wastewater with PAA.

Construction and demolition waste as a high-efficiency advanced process for organic pollutant degradation in Fenton-like reaction to approach circular economy. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 335:122246. [PMID: 37516293 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122246] [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: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/31/2023]
Abstract
The Fenton-like reaction is a promising organic wastewater treatment reaction among advanced oxidation processes (AOP), which has emerged to replace the conventional Fenton reaction. Recycled construction and demolition waste (CDW), which is porous and rich in iron, manganese, and magnesium, can be reused as a Fenton-like catalyst. This study proposes an AOP wastewater treatment strategy using recycled porous CDW mixed with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to decompose methylene blue (MB) wastewater. According to the apparent first-order rate (Kapp) of 10 ppm MB adsorption, CDW-3, having the highest specific surface area, also has the highest Kapp of 0.23 min-1 g-1. The optimized conditions recommended by the Taguchi method include a 0.3 g mL-1 CDW-3 concentration, a 0.254 g mL-1 H2O2 concentration, and 10 ppm MB, resulting in an about 2.01 min-1Kapp value. In addition, MB concentration is observed as the most influential factor for Kapp, which decreases with increasing MB concentration and is about 0.62 min-1 at 1000 ppm MB. Repeating the Fenton-like reaction five times at 100 p.m. MB using the same CDW-3, the Kapp is about 0.64 min-1, which is 86% of the initial run. The synergistic effect index (ξ) is defined to quantify the level of interaction between CDW and H2O2, which produces free radicals during the Fenton-like process. The ξ of CDW-3 is about 2.16. Overall, it is demonstrated that CDW is a promising catalyst for Fenton-like reactions, and the synergistic effect index (ξ) can be used as a reference index to evaluate the catalytic generation of free radicals between the catalyst and H2O2.

Green synthesis of Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles using Alliaceae waste (Allium sativum) for a sustainable landscape enhancement using support vector regression. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 334:138638. [PMID: 37100254 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
The synthesis of metal nanoparticles using green chemistry methods has gained significant attention in the field of landscape enhancement. Researchers have paid close attention to the development of very effective green chemistry approaches for the production of metal nanoparticles (NPs). The primary goal is to create an environmentally sustainable technique for generating NPs. At the nanoscale, ferro- and ferrimagnetic minerals such as magnetite exhibit superparamagnetic properties (Fe3O4). Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have received increased interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology due to their physiochemical properties, small particle size (1-100 nm), and low toxicity. Biological resources such as bacteria, algae, fungus, and plants have been used to manufacture affordable, energy-efficient, non-toxic, and ecologically acceptable metallic NPs. Despite the growing demand for Fe3O4 nanoparticles in a variety of applications, typical chemical production processes can produce hazardous byproducts and trash, resulting in significant environmental implications. The purpose of this study is to look at the ability of Allium sativum, a member of the Alliaceae family recognized for its culinary and medicinal benefits, to synthesize Fe3O4 NPs. Extracts of Allium sativum seeds and cloves include reducing sugars like glucose, which may be used as decreasing factors in the production of Fe3O4 NPs to reduce the requirement for hazardous chemicals and increase sustainability. The analytic procedures were carried out utilizing machine learning as support vector regression (SVR). Furthermore, because Allium sativum is widely accessible and biocompatible, it is a safe and cost-effective material for the manufacture of Fe3O4 NPs. Using the regression indices metrics of root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R2), the X-ray diffraction (XRD) study revealed the lighter, smoother spherical forms of NPs in the presence of aqueous garlic extract and 70.223 nm in its absence. The antifungal activity of Fe3O4 NPs against Candida albicans was investigated using a disc diffusion technique but exhibited no impact at doses of 200, 400, and 600 ppm. This characterization of the nanoparticles helps in understanding their physical properties and provides insights into their potential applications in landscape enhancement.

Abstract
We applied gallic acid (GA) as the complexing agent to stabilizing the regeneration of Fe2+ during the Fe2+/peroxydisulfate (PDS) Fenton-like reaction for promoting the removal of metronidazole (MTZ). This research evaluated the elimination of MTZ by optimizing the dose of GA and Fe2+ and pH condition. MTZ removal reached 83% at the GA: Fe2+ molar ratio of 1:1 (30 μM) and initial pH 5 and 6.2 after 120 min, and the kinetics showed two degradation phases (kobs1 = 0.09636 for the rapid stage and kobs2 = 0.01056 for the slow stage). The Fe2+ and GA complexes could expand the range of pH applicability and effectively stabilize the regeneration of Fe2+, which ultimately promoted the decontamination of MTZ. Sulfate radical (SO4.-), hydroxyl radicals, and singlet oxygen were proved to exist in this ternary system and contribute to MTZ removal, and SO4.- played the dominant role. Furthermore, the possible pathways and mechanisms for MTZ degradation were proposed, and the simulation result indicated that the toxicity of degradation intermediates of MTZ were declined. The GA assisted Fe2+/PDS system provided an improved promising advanced oxidation process for organic wastewater disposal.

Abstract
Pollution and resource waste caused by the improper disposal of livestock manure, and the threat from the release of emerging contaminants (ECs), are global challenges. Herein, we address the both problems simultaneously by the resourcelized conversion of chicken manure into porous Co@CM cage microspheres (CCM-CMSs) for ECs degradation through the graphitization process and Co-doping modification step. CCM-CMSs exhibit excellent performance for ECs degradation and actual wastewater purification under peroxymonosulfate (PMS) initiation, and show adaptability to complex water environments. The ultra-high activity can maintain after continuous operation over 2160 cycles. The formation of C-O-Co bond bridge structure on the catalyst surface caused an unbalanced electron distribution, which allows PMS to trigger the sustainable electron donation of ECs and electron gain of dissolved oxygen processes, becoming the key to the excellent performance of CCM-CMSs. This process significantly reduces the resource and energy consumption of the catalyst throughout the life cycle of production and application.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe a method for photoelectrocatalysis (PEC)/H2O2 synergistic degradation of organic pollutants with a magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2@mesoporous TiO2 (FST) photocatalyst-loaded electrode. At optimal conditions of pH 3.0, 2.25% H2O2, working electrode (fixed FST 30 mg) potential +0.6 V (vs. SCE), and 10 mg L-1 of all experimental pollutants, the FST PEC/H2O2 synergistic system exhibited high activity and stability for the removal of various organic pollutants under visible light with comparable degradation efficiencies, including MB (98.8%), rhodamine B (Rh B, 96.7%), methyl orange (MO, 97.7%), amoxicillin (AMX, 83.9%). Moreover, this system obtained TOC removal ratios of 83.5% (MB), 77.9% (Rh B), 80.2% (MO), 65.5% (AMX) within 8 min. The kinetic rate constants of the PEC/H2O2 synergistic system were nearly 53 and 1436 times higher than that of the PEC process and H2O2 photolysis under visible light, respectively. Furthermore, the main reactive oxidant species (˙OH, ˙O2 -) were studied and enhanced mechanisms of the photocatalytic-electro-H2O2 coupling system were proposed. This work brings new insights to efficiently purify organic pollutants by PEC coupled with peroxide under solar light illumination.

Efficient Photothermal Elimination of Formaldehyde under Visible Light at Room Temperature by a MnOx-Modified Multi-Porous Carbon Sphere. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15134484.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exert a serious impact on the environment and human health. The development of new technologies for the elimination of VOCs, especially those from non-industrial emission sources, such as indoor air pollution and other low-concentration VOCs exhaust gases, is essential for improving environmental quality and human health. In this study, a monolithic photothermocatalyst was prepared by stabilizing manganese oxide on multi-porous carbon spheres to facilitate the elimination of formaldehyde (HCHO). This catalyst exhibited excellent photothermal synergistic performance. Therefore, by harvesting only visible light, the catalyst could spontaneously heat up its surface to achieve a thermal catalytic oxidation state suitable for eliminating HCHO. We found that the surface temperature of the catalyst could reach to up 93.8 °C under visible light, achieving an 87.5% HCHO removal efficiency when the initial concentration of HCHO was 160 ppm. The microporous structure on the surface of the carbon spheres not only increased the specific surface area and loading capacity of manganese oxide but also increased their photothermal efficiency, allowing them to reach a temperature high enough for MnOx to overcome the activation energy required for HCHO oxidation. The relevant catalyst characteristics were analyzed using XRD, measurement of BET surface area, scanning electron microscopy, HR-TEM, XPS, and DRS. Results obtained from a cyclic performance test indicated high stability and potential application of the MnOx-modified multi-porous carbon sphere.

Abstract
Organic pollution is an ever-growing issue in aquatic environment, Fenton-like processes have gained widespread acceptance due to their high oxidative potential and environmental compatibility. Derivatives of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts, which have advantages of large surface area, diversity of structures, and abundant active sites. This work focuses on the recent advances in MOFs derivatives including metal compounds and metal incorporated carbons for Fenton-like processes. First, preparation strategies, structures and compositions are introduced. And then, the removal of organic pollutant in Fenton, electro-Fenton, and photo-Fenton process catalyzed by MOFs derivative is summarized, respectively. The contents particularly devote efforts to build connections among preparation, structures, compositions, and performance. Furthermore, the mechanisms of improving performance are discussed in detail. Finally, the perspectives of MOFs derivatives toward Fenton-like applications are proposed.

Abstract
Using biomass wastes as adsorbents is a promising option for organic waste reclamation, but unfortunately, their adsorption capacity is usually limited, especially for hydrophobic organic pollutants. To address this issue, this work prepared cetylpyridinium chloride (a cationic surfactant)-modified pine sawdust (CPC-PS) and further demonstrated their performance for hydrophobic bisphenol A (BPA) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) adsorption. Compared to the PS, the CPC-PS improved the maximum adsorption capacity for BPA and DCP by approximately 98% and 122%, respectively. The kinetic and thermodynamic analyses showed that the BPA and DCP adsorption onto the CPC-PS fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Freundlich model. After regeneration using NaOH, the adsorption capacity of the CPC-PS for BPA still maintained 80.2% of the initial value after five cycles. Based on the experimental results, the CPC-PS was proposed to enhance the BPA and DCP adsorption through the solubilization of hemimicelles for hydrophobic organic pollutants, the π-π stacking between benzene-ring structures, and the hydrogen binding between the adsorbents and the pollutants. This work provides a viable method to use surfactant-modified pine sawdust as effective adsorbents to remove hydrophobic pollutants.
