Abstract
Humic acid (HA) is ubiquitous in natural aquatic environments and effectively accelerates decontamination by permanganate (Mn(VII)). However, the detailed mechanism remains uncertain. Herein, the intrinsic mechanisms of HA's impact on phenolics oxidation by Mn(VII) and its intermediate manganese oxo-anions were systematically studied. Results suggested that HA facilitated the transfer of a single electron from Mn(VII), resulting in the sequential formation of Mn(VI) and Mn(V). The formed Mn(V) was further reduced to Mn(III) through a double electron transfer process by HA. Mn(III) was responsible for the HA-boosted oxidation as the active species attacking pollutants, while Mn(VI) and Mn(V) tended to act as intermediate species due to their own instability. In addition, HA could serve as a stabilizer to form a complex with produced Mn(III) and retard the disproportionation of Mn(III). Notably, manganese oxo-anions did not mineralize HA but essentially changed its composition. According to the results of Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and the second derivative analysis of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, we found that manganese oxo-anions triggered the decomposition of C-H bonds on HA and subsequently produced oxygen-containing functional groups (i.e., C-O). This study might shed new light on the HA/manganese oxo-anion process.

[PMID: 37619744 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139932] [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: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
Birnessite plays a crucial role in regulating the fate of contaminants in soil, which is affected by the crystal structure of birnessite. In this study, the transformation of triclinic birnessite to hexagonal birnessite was examined at various pH values, and their reactivity towards norfloxacin was investigated. The findings indicate that the conversion from triclinic birnessite to hexagonal birnessite occurs under pH conditions lower than 7. The lower of the solution pH where the birnessite formed, the higher the surface reactivity. Throughout the transformation process, the migration of Mn3+ and the increased interlayer protons generated more reactive oxygen species, which enhanced the surface reactivity towards norfloxacin. Specifically, at a conversion pH of 1, the norfloxacin removal rate significantly increases from 14% to 97% compared to triclinic birnessite. The mechanism of norfloxacin removal by triclinic and hexagonal birnessite is illustrated. These findings provide valuable insights into the dynamic transformation of birnessites in aqueous environments with varying pH values and their impact on norfloxacin removal.

Abstract
Organic pollutants removal from water is pressing owing to the great demand for clean water. Oxidation processes (OPs) are the commonly used method. However, the efficiency of most OPs is limited owing to the poor mass transfer process. Spatial confinement is a burgeoning way to solve this limitation by use of nanoreactor. Spatial confinement in OPs would (i) alter the transport characteristics of protons and charges; (ii) bring about molecular orientation and rearrangement; (iii) cause the dynamic redistribution of active sites in catalyst and reduce the entropic barrier that is high in unconfined space. So far, spatial confinement has been utilized for various OPs, such as Fenton, persulfate, and photocatalytic oxidation. A comprehensive summary and discussion on the fundamental mechanisms of spatial confinement mediated OPs is needed. Herein, the application, performance and mechanisms of spatial confinement mediated OPs are overviewed firstly. Subsequently, the features of spatial confinement and their effects on OPs are discussed in detail. Furthermore, environmental influences (including environmental pH, organic matter and inorganic ions) are studied with analyzing their intrinsic connection with the features of spatial confinement in OPs. Lastly, challenges and future development direction of spatial confinement mediated OPs are proposed.

Abstract
Developing efficient and economical technologies for drinking water disinfection remains a challenge. We synthesized Ag/AgBr/LDH doped with various silver mass concentrations and explored its ability to inactivate E. coli under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 400 nm). Our results indicated a total inactivation of E. coli (107 CFU·mL-1) within 80 min using 2 % Ag/AgBr/LDH in a laboratory-scale test. The method was evaluated for disinfecting three effluent samples collected from one drinking water treatment plant, covering representative water treatment processes. After five consecutive runs, the inactivation efficiency decreased slightly to 89 % in CFU·mL-1, indicating that the photocatalysts had excellent stability and reusability. The mechanisms were analyzed by combining chemical and biological methods. It was verified that singlet oxygen (1O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and photo-generated electrons (e-) were significant contributors to the inactivation process. Scanning electron microscopy images analysis showed the disruption of the membrane integrity of E. coli by photocatalytic oxidation. Internal component leakage and reduced enzyme activity were also observed in terms of K+ leakage, β-galactosidase activity, and antioxidant enzyme activity. The results by the transcriptomic analysis implied that Ag/AgBr/LDH regulating the oxidative stress response and cell membrane damage related genes was the main inactivation mechanism.

Abstract
In recent years, advanced oxidation process (AOPs) based on sulfate radical (SO4●−) and singlet oxygen (1O2) has attracted a lot of attention because of its characteristics of rapid reaction, efficient treatment, safety and stability, and easy operation. SO4●− and 1O2 mainly comes from the activation reaction of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) or persulfate (PS), which represent the oxidation reactions involving radicals and non-radicals, respectively. The degradation effects of target pollutants will be different due to the type of oxidant, reaction system, activation methods, operating conditions, and other factors. In this paper, according to the characteristics of PMS and PS, the activation methods and mechanisms in these oxidation processes, respectively dominated by SO4●− and 1O2, are systematically introduced. The research progress of PMS and PS activation for the degradation of organic pollutants in recent years is reviewed, and the existing problems and future research directions are pointed out. It is expected to provide ideas for further research and practical application of advanced oxidation processes dominated by SO4●− and 1O2.

Abstract
Substrate concentration and relative humidity (RH) impact the photocatalytic efficiency of industrial aromatic hydrocarbons, but how they influence intermediate formation and degradation pathway remains unclear. With the help of oxygen isotope tracing method, the effects of these two environmental parameters on degradation mechanism of styrene were revealed at atomic level. Increasing styrene concentration favored product formation, which was however inhibited by RH elevation. Gaseous products were not directly formed in gaseous phase, but originated from desorption of interfacial intermediates. The volatile aldehydes and furans further exchanged their 16O with 18O in H218O. Increase of RH showed higher enhancement on 18O distribution in all products and pathways than that of substrate concentration. Low RH preferred high generation of 16O2•- and (16)1O2, dominating reaction to form 1-phenyl-1,2-ethandiol, 2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-ethanon and phenylglyoxal monohydrate in sequence. Successive production of benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde and benzoic acid through the reaction of styrene with promoted •18OH by increasing RH became predominant. Hydration was firstly observed and confirmed as an important gaseous transformation step of aldehyde and furan products. Our findings provide a deep insight into photocatalytic degradation mechanism of aromatic hydrocarbons regulated by environmental parameters to further improve their industrial purification efficiency, and are helpful predicting environmental geochemistry fate of organics and preventing their negative impact on natural environment.

Abstract
The incomplete removal of N-nitrosamines in water through current degraded techniques and the carcinogenicity of N-nitrosamines call for alternative complete and safe removal approaches. Here, we describe a cyclic coupling process of photocatalysis and adsorption enabling N-nitrosamines in water thoroughly and safely removed. Among them, the immobilized TiO2/Ti photocatalyst degraded N-nitrosamines into primary and secondary amines up to 100% by attacking on nitrosyl nitrogen via •OH originated from its nanowire film morphology. Furthermore, the affinity of HY zeolite to primary and secondary amines led to efficient adsorption through corresponding to Lagergren adsorption rate equation of second order. And then the cyclic coupling process of photocatalysis and adsorption realized complete and safe removal of N-nitrosamines with various concentration ranging from 0.1 mM to 1 mM in water, significantly higher than the existing reports on the removal rate of N-nitrosamines and the formation potential of N-nitrosamines. This study will lead to new avenues for complete and safe eliminaton of hardly degradable hazardous substances in water.

Abstract
We successfully fabricated the hydrogenated TiO2 nanotubes/Ti foil (H-TNTs/f-Ti) composite via one-step anodization and two-step annealing. H-TNTs/f-Ti composite had a higher visible light-induced photoelectric response and more hydroxyl functional groups compared with Ti foil and unmodified TiO2 nanotubes/Ti foil composite, which contributed to limiting the proliferation of Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, promoting the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cell on the hydroxylated surface, and improving the biocompatibility with osteogenic cells. Our study provides a simple and effective method for significantly improving dental implant efficacy.

Abstract
Removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) pollutant from wastewater using conventional process is particularly challenging due to poor removal efficiency. In this work, CIP was photocatalytically degraded using a porous ZnO/SnS2 photocatalyst prepared via microwaves. The influence of process parameters (e.g., pH, catalyst mass and initial CIP concentration) and radical scavengers on visible-light induced degradation of CIP on the catalyst was investigated. From the study, it was found that visible-light induced degradation of CIP on ZnO/SnS2 is a surface-mediated process and the reaction kinetics followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood first-order kinetics. It was found that the optimum condition for CIP degradation was at pH of 6.1 and catalyst dosage of 500 mg L-1. Higher catalyst dosage however led to a decline in reaction rate due to light scattering effect and reduction in light penetration.

Abstract
Nitrogen and sulfur-codoped porous carbons (SNCs) with porous structures and high surface areas were successfully synthesized employing coffee grounds, sodium bicarbonate and L-cysteine monohydrochloride as precursors. The SNCs were highly efficient for adsorption and exhibited outstanding catalytic performance for the oxidative degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TeC) solutions, especially at a calcined temperature of 700 °C (SNCs-700). The radical quenching, advanced in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technology, PS decomposition rates and Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) indicated that the excellent oxidative effectiveness of the PS/SNCs-700 system originated from the nonradical pathways (singlet oxygen (1O2) and electron transfer). It's supposed that N and S doping can effectively create point defects, which could generate 1O2, while carbonyl groups were determined to be the main active sites contributing to the electron transfer. TeC degradation intermediates were also identified, three degradation pathways, revealing that the pre-adsorption significantly accelerated the nonradical oxidation pathways. This approach provides an innovative method for the large-scale production and application of high-quality catalysts in water treatment.

Crucial roles of oxygen and superoxide radical in bisulfite-activated persulfate oxidation of bisphenol AF: Mechanisms, kinetics and DFT studies. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 391:122228. [PMID: 32062541 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.122228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2019] [Revised: 01/30/2020] [Accepted: 02/03/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Though natural reducing agents have been demonstrated as desirable catalysts for environmental remediation, the mechanism of catalytic activation of persulfate (PS) by bisulfite (S(IV)) remains unclear. In this study, an emerging contaminant bisphenol AF (BPAF) was employed as the target compound to examine the activation and degradation mechanism in PS/S(IV) system. Sulfate radical (SO4•-) was evidenced as the dominant radical accounting for BPAF degradation via quantitative analysis, while hydroxyl radical (•OH) and singlet oxygen (1O2) were minor contributors. Superoxide radical (O2•-) was identified as an intermediate radical in promoting BPAF removal through quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis. Tests in oxygen-rich and oxygen-deficient systems were conducted and the results were contrasted to elucidate the important role of oxygen in BPAF degradation and SO4•--formation. In addition, the effect of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) was simulated using two separate kinetic models. Decomposition mechanism of BPAF was afterwards clarified via the density-functional theory calculations using Fukui index to predict the vulnerable sites and the intermediate products. This study provides a mechanistic understanding of the activation of PS/S(IV) system on the BPAF removal, especially the critical role of DO and O2•- in SO4•- generation.

Abstract
Microwave electrodeless discharge lamp (MEDL) has been regarded as a powerful light source of photoreaction. Four kinds of chemicals, nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), water (H2O) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS), were used as molecular probes to explore the generation process of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their photo-oxidation performances on the photodegradation of organic pollutants with application of an exterior MEDL system. ROS such as O (3P), O3, O (1D) and 1O2 were generated via irradiation of O2 and H2O except dry N2 by MEDL. They were transformed to other ROS including ·OH and H2O2 with increase of relative humidity. The ROS productivity was inhibited evidently by humidity and ·OH became the major active species at high humidity. An optimal mineralization rate of 23.6% for DMS photodegradation was reached in dry air compared with 8.74% at high humidity, which indicated that O (1D) and 1O2 were more powerful oxidants than O3 and OH. The results showed that the higher mineralization rate of organic pollutants was obtained by increasing the generation efficiency of ROS of O (1D) and 1O2. Furthermore, the results provided an alternative to develop intensification technology on photodegadation of organic pollutants with MEDL system and an optimal operation process including photocatalyst and humidity.

Abstract
TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized on a Ti sheet using the electrochemical anodization method. Bismuth (Bi) was coupled on the anodized TNTs via hydrothermal process. We verified the effect of different Bi concentrations on the photocatalytic properties of Bi-TNT composites. The obtained samples were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and photoluminescence spectra. The Bi-TNT photocatalysts exhibited higher activities by factors of 6.6 and 3.6 toward chromium reduction and methylene blue degradation, respectively, under visible light than the pure TNTs. The Bi-TNT material was recycled to examine the stability of the catalyst. The quantum efficiency of the photocatalytic system was calculated, and the synergistic effects of bismuth modification were discussed. The Bi-TNT composites were observed to be promising for separation of photoinduced e- and h+ by decreasing charge recombination, and helped the formation of the hydroxyl radicals, h+, and superoxides used in the photocatalytic process.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), one of 23 most important endocrine disrupting chemicals, was efficiently removed and sequentially photodegraded by a zirconium-porphyrin metal–organic framework (MOF) catalyst under visible light for water treatment. Well control of photodegradation allows the kinetic separation of adsorption step and photodegradation step. Ultrahigh adsorption uptake of 487.69 ± 8.37 mg g−1 is observed, while efficient photodegradation could be observed within 20 min at the rate of 0.004 mg min−1. The synergetic effect boosts the photocatalytic efficiency and confirms that the catalysis happens inside the MOF pores other than in the solution phase. Furthermore, the mechanism was elucidated by diverse control experiments, such as in the conditions of 1O2 scavenger, in darkness and with the changes of light sensitizing ligands. It confirmed that BPA was oxidized by the 1O2 which was generated from porphyrin ligand within MOFs under visible-light. The excellent reusability and wide range of suitable pH range make the Zr-porphyrin MOFs practical for the photocatalytic water treatment processes.

Abstract
Persulfate (PS) is widely used as an oxidant for in situ chemical remediation of contaminated groundwater. In this study we demonstrated for the first time that PS could be activated by bicarbonate. Acetaminophen was used as the probe compound to examine the reactivity of PS/bicarbonate system. It was found that acetaminophen could be effectively transformed and the reaction rate appeared pseudo-first-order to the concentrations of both acetaminophen and PS. Radical scavenger tests indicated that neither free radicals (SO4- and HO) nor superoxide (O2-) was responsible for acetaminophen transformation. Generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) was verified using furfuryl alcohol (FFA) as a probe. Formation of 1O2 was further quantified in D2O fortified solution based on kinetic solvent isotopic effect (KSIE) but it was found that 1O2 contributed only 51.4% of the total FFA transformation. The other 48.6% was presumed to be ascribed to the reaction with peroxymonocarbonate (HCO4-). However, the transformation of acetaminophen was mostly due to the reaction with HCO4- but not 1O2. Instead of degradation, HCO4- oxidized acetaminophen via a one-electron abstraction mechanism resulting in the generation of acetaminophen radicals which coupled to each other to form dimers and trimers. HCO4- also hydrolyzed rapidly to form hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) which led to the formation of 1O2, during which O2- was a key intermediates. Because bicarbonate is ubiquitously presented in groundwater, the findings of this research provide important insights into the fundamental processes involved in PS oxidation in subsurface.

Abstract
A nonphotochemical generation of singlet oxygen ((1)O2) using potassium periodate (KIO4) in alkaline condition (pH > 8) was investigated for selective oxidation of aqueous organic pollutants. The generation of (1)O2 was initiated by the spontaneous reaction between IO4(-) and hydroxyl ions, along with a stoichiometric conversion of IO4(-) to iodate (IO3(-)). The reactivity of in-situ-generated (1)O2 was monitored by using furfuryl alcohol (FFA) as a model substrate. The formation of (1)O2 in the KIO4/KOH system was experimentally confirmed using electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements in corroboration with quenching studies using azide as a selective (1)O2 scavenger. The reaction in the KIO4/KOH solution in both oxic and anoxic conditions initiated the generation of superoxide ion as a precursor of the singlet oxygen (confirmed by using superoxide scavengers), and the presence of molecular oxygen was not required as a precursor of (1)O2. Although hydrogen peroxide had no direct influence on the FFA oxidation process, the presence of natural organic matter, such as humic and fulvic acids, enhanced the oxidation efficiency. Using the oxidation of simple organic diols as model compounds, the enhanced (1)O2 formation is attributed to periodate-mediated oxidation of vicinal hydroxyl groups present in humic and fulvic constituent moieties. The efficient and simple generation of (1)O2 using the KIO4/KOH system without any light irradiation can be employed for the selective oxidation of aqueous organic compounds under neutral and near-alkaline conditions.
