Photoelectrocatalytic treatment of municipal wastewater with emerging concern pollutants using modified multi-layer catalytic anode. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 339:139575. [PMID: 37487983 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139575] [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: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023]
Abstract
Municipal wastewater contains emergent chemical and biological pollutants that are resistant to conventional wastewater treatments. Therefore, the focus of the current study was to address the challenge of removing emergent chemical and biological pollutants present in municipal wastewater. To achieve this, a photo electro-catalytic (PEC) treatment approach was employed, focusing on the removal of both micro and biological pollutants that are of emergent concern, as well as the reduction of Chemical Oxidation Demand (COD) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC). The treatment involved the use of a modified multi-layer catalytic anode photo-electroactive anode as an effective anode for PEC treatment of municipal wastewater. In the continuous mode of operation, %COD removal was optimized for the treatment of municipal wastewater under Ultra-Violet C (UVc), 280 nm, and Visible (Vis) radiation, 400 nm. Therefore, a comparative study was performed to investigate the effect of Vis radiation on %COD removal, micropollutants removal, and disinfection of municipal wastewater. Micropollutants present in municipal wastewater were effectively oxidized/degraded with the highest reduction rate between 100% and 80% under the influence of UVc and Vis radiation respectively by the PEC treatment process. Disinfection of various microorganisms present in the wastewater with the effect of UVc and Vis assisted PEC treatment was also monitored. Overall, 75-80% of the disinfection of municipal wastewater was contributed by the modified multi-layer catalytic anode. The UVc in the PEC system, contributes approximately 20-25% to the overall disinfection of municipal wastewater.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-29877-9. [PMID: 37737947 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29877-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023]
Abstract
Nowadays, the presence of persistent dissolved pollutants in water has received increasing attention due to their toxic effects on living organisms. Considering the limitations of conventional wastewater treatment processes for the degradation of these compounds, advanced oxidation processes such as electro-Fenton and sono-chemical process, as well as their combination, appear as potentially effective options for the treatment of wastewater contaminated with bio-recalcitrant pollutants. In view of the importance of the development of processes using real effluents, this review aims to provide a comprehensive perspective of sono-electro-Fenton-related processes applied for real wastewater treatment. In the first section, the fundamentals and effectiveness of both homogeneous and heterogeneous electro-Fenton approaches for the treatment of real wastewater are presented. While the second part of this work describes the fundamentals of ultrasound-based processes, the last section focuses on the coupling of the two methods for real wastewater treatment and on the effect of the main operational parameters of the process. On the basis of the information presented, it is suggested that sono-electro-Fenton processes substantially increase the efficiency of the treatment as well as the biodegradability of the treated wastewater. The combined effect results from mass transfer improvement, electrode cleaning and activation, water electrolysis, and the electro-Fenton-induced production of hydroxyl radicals. The information presented in this work is expected to be useful for closing the gap between laboratory-scale assays and the development of novel wastewater technologies.

Abstract
Industrial reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC) was electrochemically oxidized using a continuous-flow system (CFS) with a front buffer tank. Multivariate optimization including Plackett-Burman (PBD) and central composite design based on response surface method (CCD-RSM) was implemented to investigate the effects of characteristic (e.g., recirculation ratio (R value), ratio of buffer tank and electrolytic zone (RV value)) and routine (e.g., current density (i), inflow linear velocity (v) and electrode spacing (d)) parameters. R, v values and current density significantly influenced chemical oxygen demand (COD) and NH4+-N removal and effluent active chlorine species (ACS) level, while electrode spacing and RV value had negligible effects. High chloride content of industrial ROC facilitated the generation of ACS and subsequent mass transfer, low hydraulic retention time (HRT) of electrolytic cell improved the mass transfer efficiency, and high HRT of buffer tank prolonged the reaction between the pollutants and oxidants. The significance levels of COD removal, energy efficiency, effluent ACS level and toxic byproduct level CCD-RSM models were validated by statistical test results, including higher F value than critical effect value, lower P value than 0.05, low deviation between predicted and observed values, and normal distribution of calculated residuals. The highest pollutant removal was achieved at a high R value, a high current density and a low v value; the highest energy efficiency was achieved at a high R, a low current density and a high v value; the lowest effluent ACS and toxic byproduct levels were achieved at a low R value, a low current density and a high v value. Following the multivariate optimization, the optimum parameters were decided to be v = 1.2 cm h-1, i ≥ 8 mA cm-2, d ≥ 4, RV = 10-20 and R = 1 to achieve better effluent quality (i.e., lower effluent pollutant, ACS and toxic byproduct levels).

Abstract
This study examined >140 relevant publications from the last few years (2018-2021). In this study, classification was reviewed depending on the operation's progress. Electrocoagulation (EC), electrooxidation (EO), electroflotation (EF), electrodialysis (ED), and electro-Fenton (EFN) processes have received considerable attention. The type of action (individual or hybrid) for each electrochemical procedure was evaluated, and statistical analysis was performed to compare them as a new manner of reviewing cited papers providing a massive amount of information efficiently to the readers. Individual or hybrid operation progress of the electrochemical techniques is critical issues. Their design, operation, and maintenance costs vary depending on the in-situ conditions, as evidenced by surveyed articles and statistical analyses. This work also examines the variables affecting the elimination efficacy, such as the applied current, reaction time, pH, type of electrolyte, initial pollutant concentration, and energy consumption. In addition, owing to its efficacy in removing toxins, the hybrid activity showed a good percentage among the studies reviewed. The promise of each wastewater treatment technology depends on the type of contamination. In some cases, EO requires additives to oxidise the pollutants. EF and EFN eliminated lightweight organic pollutants. ED has been used to treat saline water. Compared to other methods, EC has been extensively employed to remove a wide variety of contaminants.

Abstract
Fenton process has become a research hotspot due to the nonselective and efficient degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by ·OH. However, there are still many challenges and bottlenecks for conventional Fenton (CF). This study provides the first comprehensive insight into the mechanisms of DOM degradation by the Fenton process, including the various subcategories of humic substances, emerging trace contaminants, including persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disrupting chemicals, and pharmaceuticals and personal care products, and the interference of humus and low molecular weight organic acids on the removal of trace contaminants. In addition, a statistical comparison of the economics of CF and three types of Fenton-like technologies (Photo-Fenton, Electro-Fenton, and Ultrasonic-Fenton) is conducted based on existing studies, which can be used as a reference for engineering applications. Moreover, a brief overview of the categories and characteristics of heterogeneous Fenton, which have been extensively studied in recent years, and a comparison of their catalysts are presented. In the end, the paper advances a possible future research direction.

Photocatalytic degradation of industrial dye using hybrid filler impregnated poly-sulfone membrane and optimizing the catalytic performance using Box-Behnken design. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 313:137418.

Abstract
Mixed Matrix Membranes have gained significant attention over the past few years due to their diverse applications, unique hybrid inorganic filler and polymeric properties. In this article, the impregnation of nano-hybrid filler (polyoxometalates (∼POMs) encapsulated into the metal-organic framework (MOF) ∼ PMOF) on the polysulfone membrane (∼PSF) was done, resulting in a mix matrix membrane (∼PMOF@PSF). The developed structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopes (TEM). The results confirmed that the nano-hybrid filler was successfully fabricated on the surface of PSF. Different loading ratios of nano-hybrid filler (5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) were used for impregnation. The study's objective was to enhance catalytic performance using optimization curves designed using a three-level Box-Behnken Design (BBD) simulation. The photodegradation of Methylene Blue (∼MB) was studied against PMOF@PSF30% and was found to perform optimally when the concentration of catalyst, time of degradation, and temperature were 0.05-0.15 gm, 40-120 min, and 30-70 °C respectively. These experiments were replicated 15 times, and obtained results were further processed using a two-quadratic polynomial model to develop response surface methodology (RSM), which allowed for a functional relationship between the decolorization and experimental parameters. The optimal performance of the reaction mixture was calculated to be 0.15 gm for concentration, 70 °C for temperature, with an 80 min reaction time. Under these optimal conditions, the predicted decolorization of MB was 98.09%. Regression analysis with R2 > 0.99 verified the fit of experimental results with predicted values. The PMOF@PSF PSF30% demonstrated excellent reusability as its dye degradation properties were significantly unaffected after ten cycles.

Abstract
Treatment of organic contaminants using the electro-Fenton (EF) process is efficient but generates toxic by-products. The aim of the present study was to assess the residual toxicity associated to the treatment of real mine effluents using EF and to perform a preliminary techno-economic analysis to compare the costs of different techniques. Two mine effluents from northern Quebec with different concentrations of thiosalts (MElow and MEhigh) were tested for acute toxicity to Daphnia magna, before and after EF treatment. The higher toxicity of untreated MElow compared to MEhigh, despite its lower thiosalts content (58 vs 199 mg/L), suggests the presence of an unidentified toxic species, which was removed during EF treatment, or that higher thiosalts concentrations mitigate the toxicity of other toxicants. EF treatment of MEhigh, initially non-acutely toxic (50% mortality), resulted in the elimination of D. magna mortality. A preliminary techno-economic analysis conducted for northern Quebec vs the rest of Canada and the USA showed that energy consumption was the main contributor (52-95%) to the total operating costs. Electricity-related costs nearly doubled (55%) for northern Quebec relative to the rest of Canada. These findings provide new insights for the potential application of the EF for the treatment of thiosalts in mine water, for operations in central jurisdictions and in remote northern areas.

The different AOPs were tested in a 0.160 L batch electrochemical stirred thank reactor using Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) electrodes. The influence of parameters such as the current density (j) and the initial BHT concentration were to exanimated on the efficiency of all the tested processes. The oxidation tendency of EF, and PEF were compared with those of EO and O3, based on their efficiency for BHT discoloration, which resulted as PEF > EF > EO > O3. The AOPs showing the best oxidation performance was PEF which, using Na2SO4 (0.05 M) electrolyte solution and Fe2+ (0.5 mM), pH 3.0, j = 71 mA cm-2, and 500 rpm process, achieved 100% discoloration and 80% chemical oxygen demand (COD) abatement after 60 min of treatment for two initial BHT concentrations (50 and 80 mg L-1). The process accounted for a current efficiency of 30% and energy consumption 2.25 kWh (g COD)-1 through the discoloration test. The azo dye gradually degraded, yielding non-toxic oxalic, oxamic, and glyoxylic acid, whose Fe(III) complexes were quickly photolyzed.

Kang D, Doudrick K, Park N, Choi Y, Kim K, Jeon J. Identification of transformation products to characterize the ability of a natural wetland to degrade synthetic organic pollutants. WATER RESEARCH 2020; 187:116425. [PMID: 32979581 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2020.116425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2020] [Revised: 07/05/2020] [Accepted: 09/12/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Natural wetlands have been recognized as a natural reactor for degradation and elimination of environmental pollutants. The Upo Wetland, the largest inland wetland in Korea, is mainly surrounded by agricultural lands and it is susceptible to contamination from excess nutrient loads and synthetic organic contaminants (SOCs) (e.g., pesticides). The aim of this study was to identify major SOCs in the wetland and evaluate their degradation. We used high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) with a two-step analysis approach (i.e., 1st analysis for target measurement along with suspect and non-target screening (SNTS) and 2nd analysis for complimentary suspect screening) to identify and quantify the transformation products (TPs) of the identified parent SOCs. Quantitative analysis of 30 targets, mainly including pesticides, showed that fungicides were the major SOCs detected in the wetland, accounting for about 50% of the composition ratio of the total SOCs quantified. Orysastrobin occurred at the highest mean concentration (>700 ng/L), followed by two other fungicides, carbendazim and tricyclazole. The first analysis (SNTS) tentatively identified 39 TPs (30 by suspect, 9 by non-target screening) of 14 parent pesticides. Additionally, the second analysis (complimentary suspect screening) identified 9 more TPs. Among the 48 total TPs identified, 7 were confirmed with reference standards. The identification of the remaining TPs had a high confidence level (e.g., level 2 or 3). Regarding transport though the wetland, most TPs showed greater peak area ratios (i.e., the relative portion of chromatographic area of the TPs to the parent compound) at the outlet point of the wetland compared to the inlet point. The risk quotient, which was calculated using the concentrations of parent compounds, decreased toward the outlet, demonstrating the degradation capacity of the wetland. The estimates for biodegradability, hydrophobicity, and toxicity by an in-silico quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model indicated a lower half-life, lower logDOW, and greater effect concentration for most TPs compared to the parent compounds. Based on these results, we conclude that natural wetlands play a role as an eco-friendly reactor for degrading SOCs to form numerous TPs that are lower risk than the parent compounds.

Abstract
The traditional methods used to synthesize graphene layers over semiconductors are chemical-based methods. In the present investigation, a novel photoelectroactive electrode was synthesized using a chitosan biopolymer without the usage of chemicals. A chitosan-biopolymer layer over the surface of TiO2 was generated by electrodeposition. Furthermore, the pyrolysis method was used for the conversion of a biopolymer into graphene layers. The catalytic activity of the fabricated electrodes was investigated by the photo-electro-Fenton (PEF) process to oxidize chloramphenicol and nadolol pharmaceutical drugs in wastewater, remove metals (scandium, neodymium, and arsenic) and degrade real municipal wastewater. The PEF operational parameters (pH, voltage, reaction time, and Fenton catalytic dose) were optimized for the overall degradation of chloramphenicol and nadolol pharmaceutical drugs in wastewater. It was observed that at the optimum process operational parameters it took 40 min to degrade chloramphenicol and nadolol pharmaceutical drugs in wastewater. It was proved that biopolymer-based photoelectroactive novel electrodes render good catalytic activity. Furthermore, the reusability study of fabricated electrodes showed excellent storage and self-healing properties.

Abstract
Inorganic constituents in real wastewater, such as halides and carbonates/bicarbonates, may have negative effects on the performance of electrochemical systems because of their capability of quenching HO•. However, we discovered that the presence of Cl- and HCO3- in an electrochemical system is conducive to the formation of ClO•, which plays an important role in promoting the simultaneous elimination of biorefractory organics and nitrogen in secondary coking wastewater effluent. The 6-h operation of the coupled electrochemical system (an undivided electrolytic cell with a PbO2/Ti anode and a Cu/Zn cathode) at a current density of 37.5 mA cm-2 allowed the removal of 87.8% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 86.5% of total nitrogen. The electron paramagnetic resonance results suggested the formation of ClO• in the system, and the probe experiments confirmed the predominance of ClO•, whose steady-state concentrations (8.08 × 10-13 M) were 16.4, 26.5, and 1609.5 times those of Cl2•- (4.92 × 10-14 M), HO• (3.05 × 10-14 M), and Cl• (5.02 × 10-16 M), respectively. The rate constant of COD removal and the Faradaic efficiency of anodic oxidation obtained with Cl- and HCO3- was linearly proportional to the natural logarithm of the ClO• concentration, and the specific energy consumption was inversely correlated to it, demonstrating the crucial role of ClO• in pollutant removal.

Abstract
The application of Fenton-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as photo-Fenton or electro-Fenton for wastewater treatment have been extensively studied in recent decades due to its high efficiency for the decomposition of persistent organic pollutants. Usually Fenton-based AOPs are used for the degradation of targeted pollutant or group of pollutants, which often leads to the formation of toxic by-products possessing a potential environmental risk. In this work, we have collected and reviewed recent findings regarding the feasibility of Fenton-based AOPs (photo-Fenton, UVC/H2O2, electro-Fenton and galvanic Fenton) for the detoxification of real municipal and industrial wastewaters. More specifically, operational conditions, relevance and suitability of different bioassays for the toxicity assessment of various wastewater types, cost estimation, all of which compose current challenges for the application of these AOPs for real wastewater detoxification are discussed.

Abstract
Fenton reaction is widely used for hazardous pollutant degradation. Reducing agents (RAs) have been proven to be efficient in promoting the generation of HO• in Fenton reaction by accelerating the redox cycle of Fe3+/Fe2+. However, the roles of different RAs in Fenton reaction remain unrevealed. In this work, the catalytic activity of three RAs, i.e., hydroxylamine (NH2OH), ascorbic acid (AA) and cysteine (Cys), on the degradation of benzoic acid (BA) and the hydroxyl radical formation in the Fenton-RAs system were investigated. Results show the catalytic performance of RAs in BA degradation by Fenton reaction followed an order of NH2OH > AA > Cys. Compared with the conventional Fenton system, the effective pH range in the Fenton-NH2OH system extended from 3.0 to 5.0, while the optimal pH in the Fenton-AA and Fenton-Cys systems ranged from 3.0 to 4.0. The Fenton-AA system exhibited a two-stage reaction toward BA degradation, which was different from the Fenton-NH2OH and Fenton-Cys systems. Furthermore, the dosing manner of AA was found to be a key factor governing its role in the Fenton-AA system. This observation suggests the different mechanisms behind the enhancement of the three RAs in Fenton system. Different from NH2OH and Cys, AA would inhibit the generation of HO•, especially at the fast stage of degradation process, where Fe3+ has not accumulated yet. In addition, the economic analysis using the electrical energy per order indicates Fenton-NH2OH system was economically feasible with the lowest energy input, compared to Fenton-AA and Fenton-Cys systems. These results are useful to better understand the roles of RAs in Fenton system, and also provide guidance about the selection and dosing manner of suitable RAs in the advanced oxidation processes.

Abstract
A novel submerged membrane bioreactor integrated with ozonation and photocatalysis has been developed to treat the real textile wastewater and study the fouling behaviour. This study evaluates the performance efficiency in pilot-scale for the three reactors such as membrane bioreactor, ozonised membrane bioreactor and further clubbed with photocatalysis. The membrane filtration consists of polyvinilidine difluoride hollow fibre membrane module having pore size 0.1 μm. Tungsten oxide, a visible photocatalyst was made into spongy alginate beads and used in photocatalytic reactor. The photocatalyst dose has been optimised as 500 mg/L. About 10% membrane filterability ratio has been achieved by integrating ozone with MBR with the maximal ozone dosage of 5 g/h. It showed better removal efficiency in colour and chemical oxygen demand of 94% and 93% respectively. The biodegradability efficiency also was enhanced from 0.2 to 0.4 with optimised ozone dosage (5 g/h). The study on reversible and irreversible fouling has been done to understand the fouling nature. The important analysis such as microbial community and scanning electron microscopy analysis were done to study the biofouling and extent of fouling after filtration. The treatability studies implemented for textile wastewater showed that integrated MBR systems are suitable in meeting the discharge norms prescribed by the Indian statutory body in terms of chemical oxygen demand, colour and total suspended solids.

Abstract
Wastewater reclamation in the textile industry has attracted considerable attention. In this study, catalytic ozonation by regenerated granular activated carbon (rGAC) and its combination with biological activated carbon (BAC) was investigated for the reclamation of a real bio-treated dyeing and finishing wastewater (BDFW). Catalytic ozonation by rGAC (O3/rGAC) was 1.6-2.0 times more efficient than ozonation alone for pollutants degradation. Although iron oxide loaded rGAC (rGAC-Fe) improved the performance of catalytic ozonation by 14%-25%, but was labile (<2 days) compared to stable rGAC (>20 days). Catalytic ozonation improved the generation of •OH, contributing 1.1-1.7 times faster of chromophores decomposition and 0.24-0.55 times more increase of biodegradability than ozonation. However, catalytic ozonation increased the acute toxicity of BDFW by two times. The combination of O3/rGAC and BAC can synergistically reduce COD, chromophores, and color in BDFW during 45-day's continuous operation, the improvements than O3/rGAC being 21.0%, 18.8%, and 13.6%, respectively. Moreover, although O3/rGAC of BDFW increased the toxicity from 98.3 to 146.5 μg-HgCl2/L, post BAC significantly reduced the toxicity to 13.1 μg-HgCl2/L. Engineering practice of water reclamation by O3/rGAC-BAC was approved to be feasible based on both the water quality of treated water and the operation cost.

Abstract
A ternary nanocomposite consisting of N-doped graphene (NGR)/TiO₂/activated carbon (NGRT@AC) was prepared, and the components' synergetic effect on dye degradation was investigated after deposition on the surface of a polysulfone membrane (PSF). As far as we know, this ternary composite catalyst has never previously been used to degrade dyes nor been used as a functional layer for separation membranes. The surface morphology and structure of the as-prepared membranes were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The NGRT@AC-modified PSF membrane (NGRT@AC-PSF) presents excellent photodegradation efficiency to methyl orange (MO) under both UV (95.2%) and sunlight (78.1%) irradiation, much higher than those values of PSF, TiO₂- modified PSF (TiO₂-PSF), and N-doped graphene/TiO2 (NGRT)-modified PSF membranes (NGRT-PSF) under the same conditions. The high flux recovery ratio (95.5%) demonstrates that the NGRT@AC-PSF membrane shows improved antifouling performance. The photocatalytic results prove that surface deposition method (95.2%) was better than the blending method (31.1%) for forming high-performance membranes. Therefore, the NGRT@AC-PSF membrane has the potential for broad applications in dye degradation to treat waste water from textile industries.
