Non-radical activation of persulfate with Bi 2O 3/BiO 1.3I 0.4 for efficient degradation of propranolol under visible light. J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 142:57-68. [PMID: 38527896 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.05.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Non-radical activation of persulfate (PS) by photocatalysts is an effective approach for removing organic pollutants from aqueous environments. In this study, a novel Bi2O3/BiO1.3I0.4 heterojunction was synthesized using a facile solvothermal approach and used for the first time for non-radical activation of PS to degrade propranolol (PRO) in the presence of visible light. The findings found that the degradation rate of PRO in the Bi2O3/BiO1.3I0.4/PS system was significantly increased from 19% to more than 90% within 90 min compared to the Bi2O3/BiO1.3I0.4 system. This indicated that the composite system exerted an excellent synergistic effect between the photocatalyst and the persulfate-based oxygenation. Quenching tests and electron paramagnetic resonance demonstrated that the non-radical pathway with singlet oxygen as the active species played a major role in the photocatalytic process. The existence of photo-generated holes during the reaction could also be directly involved in the oxidation of pollutants. Meanwhile, a possible PRO degradation pathway was also proposed. Furthermore, the impacts of pH, humic acid and common anions on the PRO degradation by the Bi2O3/BiO1.3I0.4/PS were explored, and the system's stability and reusability were also studied. This study exhibits a highly productive catalyst for PS activation via a non-radical pathway and provides a new idea for the degradation of PRO.

Yueyu S. The synergistic degradation of pollutants in water by photocatalysis and PMS activation. WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2023; 95:e10927.

Abstract
In recent years, the synergistic degradation of water pollutants through advanced oxidation technology has emerged as a prominent research area due to its integration of various advanced oxidation technologies. The combined utilization of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation technology and photocatalysis demonstrates mild and nontoxic characteristics, enabling the degradation of water pollutants across a wide pH range. Moreover, this approach reduces the efficiency of electron hole recombination, broadens the catalyst's light response range, facilitates electron transfer of PMS, and ultimately improves its photocatalytic performance. The paper reviews the current research status of photocatalytic technology and PMS activation technology, respectively, while highlighting the advancements achieved through the integration of photocatalytic synergetic PMS activation technology for water pollutant degradation. Furthermore, this review delves into the mechanisms involving both free radicals and nonradicals in the reaction process and presents a promising prospect for future development in water treatment technology. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Degradation of water pollutants by photocatalysis and PMS synergistic action has emerged. Synergism can enhance the generation of free radicals. This technology can provide theoretical support for actual wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The processes of Fe(III) activated persulfate (PS) and H2O2 modified by catechin (CAT) had been shown to be effective in degrading contaminants. In this study, the performance, mechanism, degradation pathways and products toxicity of PS (Fe(III)/PS/CAT) and H2O2 (Fe(III)/H2O2/CAT) systems were compared using atenolol (ATL) as a model contaminant. 91.0% of ATL degradation was reached after 60 min in H2O2 system which was much higher than that in PS system (52.4%) under the same experimental condition. CAT could react directly with H2O2 to produce small amounts of HO• and the degradation efficiency of ATL was proportional to CAT concentration in H2O2 system. However, the optimal CAT concentration was 5 μM in PS system. The performance of H2O2 system was more susceptible to pH than that of PS system. Quenching experiments were conducted indicating that SO4•- and HO• were produced in PS system while HO• and O2•- accounted for ATL degradation in H2O2 system. Seven pathways with nine byproducts and eight pathways with twelve byproducts were put forward in PS and H2O2 systems respectively. Toxicity experiments showed that the inhibition rates of luminescent bacteria were both decreased about 25% after 60 min reaction in two systems. Although the software simulation result showed few intermediate products of both systems were More toxic than ATL, but the amounts of them were 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than ATL. Moreover, the mineralization rates were 16.4% and 19.0% in PS and H2O2 systems respectively.

Sensitivity Analysis with the Monte Carlo Method and Prediction of Atenolol Removal Using Modified Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Based on the Response Surface Method: Isotherm and Kinetics Studies.

Abstract
Atenolol (ATN) is a β-blocker drug extensively used to treat arrhythmias and high blood pressure. Because the human body cannot metabolize it completely, this drug has been commonly found in many environmental matrices. In the present study, the response surface method (RSM) was used for adsorption prediction of ATN on modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (M-MWCNTs) by NaOCl and ultrasonic. The sensitivity analysis was done by the Monte Carlo method. Sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the effective parameter by the Monte Carlo simulator. Statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed by using the nonlinear second-order model of RSM. The influential parameters including contact time (min), adsorbent dosage (g/L), pH, and the initial concentration (mg/L) of ATN were investigated, and optimal conditions were determined. Kinetic of ATN adsorption on M-MWCNTs was evaluated using pseudo-first, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models. Equilibrium isotherms for this system were analyzed by the ISOFIT software. As per our result, optimum conditions in the adsorption experiments were pH 7, 60 min of contact time, 0.5 mg/L ATN initial concentration, and 150 mg/L adsorbent dose. In terms of ATN removal efficiency, coefficients of R2 and adjusted R2 were 0.999 and 0.998, respectively. Sensitivity analysis also showed that contact time has the greatest effect on increasing the removal of ATN. Pseudo-first-order (R2 value of 0.99) was the best kinetic model for the adsorption of ATN, and for isotherm, BET (AICC value of 3.27) was the best model that fit the experimental data. According to the obtained results from sensitive analysis, time was the most important parameter, and after that, the adsorbent dose and pH affect positively on ATN removal efficiency. It can be concluded that the modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes can be applied as one of the best adsorbents to remove ATN from the aqueous solution.

Abstract
Single-atom Fe catalysts have shown great potential for Fenton-like technology in organic pollutant decomposition. However, the underlying reaction pathway and the identification of Fe active sites capable of activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) across a wide pH range remain unknown. We presented a novel strategy for deciphering the production of singlet oxygen (1O2) by regulating the Fe active sites in this study. Fe single atoms loaded on nitrogen-doped porous carbon (FeSA-CN) catalysts were synthesized using a cage encapsulation method and compared to Fe-nanoparticle-loaded catalysts. It was discovered that FeSA-CN catalysts served as efficient PMS activators for pollutant decomposition over a wide pH range. Several analytical measurements and density functional theory calculations revealed that the pyridinic N-ligated Fe single atom (Fe-pyridine N4) was involved in the production of 1O2 by the binding of two PMS ions, resulting in an excellent catalytic performance for PMS adsorption/activation. This work has the potential to not only improve the understanding of nonradical reaction pathway but to also provide a generalizable method for producing highly stable PMS activators with high activity for practical wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been widely investigated for the treatment of recalcitrant organic pollutants. Here we report the first study on the performance evaluation in different environmental matrices of a newly-developed AOP, plasmon-enhanced catalytic ozonation with silver doped spinel ferrite (0.5wt%Ag/MnFe2O4) as the catalyst, for the degradation of representative micropollutants (e.g. atrazine and atenolol). The real matrices include surface water (SW, pH 6.82), secondary effluent (SE, pH 7.22), and reverse osmosis/RO concentrate (ROC, pH 7.90) generated during water reuse. A kinetic model combining the Rct concept (the ratio of the total •OH-exposure to the total O3-exposure) and expressions of transient steady state hydroxyl radical (•OH) concentrations has been successfully developed to predict the treatment performance, where the effects of major influencing factors (e.g. solution chemistry such as pH and water constituents, and operating conditions) were explicitly quantified. Bulk organic contents, carbonate/bicarbonate, and phosphate were found to be the major chemical species that influenced the target compound removal, through interactions with reactive species (e.g. •OH) and/or the solid catalysts. Lower bromate formation was observed in the plasmon-enhanced catalytic ozonation process, compared with ozonation and catalytic ozonation processes. Low energy consumption (electrical energy per order/EEO 0.011-0.086 kWh/m3 for different matrices) together with low byproduct formation has demonstrated that plasmon-enhanced catalytic ozonation is a novel promising AOP for various water treatment and reuse applications.

Abstract
New technologies to address the presence of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in wastewater are needed, especially in those cases in which water will be reused. In this work, the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) with simulated solar radiation has been applied to the oxidation of a mixture of six PPCPs, i.e. caffeine, primidone, N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET), methylparaben, clofibric acid and ibuprofen. The sole application of solar radiation, i.e. solar photolysis, only led to the oxidation of clofibric acid (complete degradation in 90 min). The combination of PMS and solar radiation resulted in the degradation of all target micropollutants. The complete degradation of this mixture at initial 100 ppb was achieved with 0.5 mM of initial PMS after 90 min. A kinetic study that acceptably simulates the experimental data under different conditions has been proposed. The effects of initial PPCP concentration (1 mg L-1-100 μg L-1), PMS dose (0.1-5 mM), and pH (3-9) were tested and kinetically simulated. Finally, the PPCPs removal study was carried out in two real water matrices (river and a secondary effluent of an urban wastewater treatment plant). A higher dose of PMS, ten times higher, was required to achieve complete degradation of the micropollutants if compared to ultrapure water.

Abstract
Iron oxychloride (FeOCl) is utilized as a activator of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of paracetamol (APAP) and phenacetin (PNCT) in response to the water pollution by persistent pharmaceuticals. The degradation process was well fitted with a pseudo-first order kinetic pattern, and the excellent catalytic performance towards APAP (100 % removal) and PNCT (86.5 % removal) was obtained in the presence of 0.2 g/L FeOCl and 2.0 mM PMS at pH 7.0 in 30 min. In-situ electron spin resonance (ESR) and scavenging tests revealed the generation of a series of ROS (·OH, SO4-, O2-, 1O2), which was highly dependent on pH. Besides, the non-radical pathways process involved 1O2 was dominant in APAP oxidation, while both ·OH and 1O2 are significant in PNCT removal. Furthermore, the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) during post-chlorination showed neglectable increment at neutral and alkaline condition with FeOCl/PMS pre-oxidation, and the calculated cytotoxicity would experience a continuous deterioration with pH increase. These results displayed high efficiency of FeOCl/PMS system in micropollutants degradation and a relatively comprehensive activation process of PMS, which may promote practical application in environmental remediation.

Abstract
The present work reported a modified persulfate activation process with a microbial siderophore named desferrioxamine B (DFOB). DFOB was a natural complexing agent and could complex with Fe3+ strongly. The photochemical reactivity of Fe(III)-DFOB was studied. Fe2+ and HO• were produced from Fe(III)-DFOB photolysis. Furthermore, the degradation of atenolol (ATL) was followed in light/persulfate (PS)/Fe(III)-DFOB system. The main oxidative radicals were SO4•- in this system. The results of pH effect showed that there was no obviously fluctuation on ATL degradation efficiency with the pH increased from 2.5 to 8.4. Moreover, kSO4•-,DFOB was determined by laser flash photolysis (LFP) experiments. DFOB had positive effect on Fe2+ formation but negative effect on ATL degradation due to the high react rate constant between DFOB and SO4•-. The effects of chloride and carbonate ion were also investigated. The results in this study proposed the reaction mechanism of the modified persulfate activation process, and it could be applied in neutral and weak-alkaline pH range.

Abstract
The porous α-Fe2O3 microspheres (MS-Fe2O3) were obtained through in-situ ion exchange-calcination method and then utilized to activate persulfate (PS) for Rhodamine B (Rh B) degradation. The influences of some important operational parameters were investigated for the MS-Fe2O3/PS system. Additionally, the physicochemical properties of the as-fabricated MS-Fe2O3 were revealed with the assistance of some analytical instruments (i.e., X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM)). The results showed that the physicochemical properties of MS-Fe2O3 played an important role in the activation of PS, which promoted MS-Fe2O3 to effectively induce PS to generate reactive oxidizing species, thus Rh B could be nearly 100% degraded within 30 min under near-neutral pH solution. Noticeably, the as-prepared MS-Fe2O3 revealed magnetism and could be separated conveniently through external magnetic, which was beneficial to reuse the catalyst. Finally, the reactive oxidizing species (SO4- and OH) participating in the oxidation process were illustrated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and radical quenching studies, and then a rational mechanism was proposed to better understand the catalytic oxidation degradation of organic pollutants.

Efficient clean-up of waters contaminated with diazinon pesticide using photo-decomposition of peroxymonosulfate by ZnO decorated on a magnetic core/shell structure. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2019; 250:109472.

Abstract
In the present study, ZnO nanoparticles were anchored on a magnetic core/shell structure (SiO2@Fe3O4) to perpetrate ZnO@SiO2@Fe3O4 and then coupled with UV light as a heterogeneous nanocatalyst for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) into diazinon (DZ) degradation. Several techniques like XRD (X-ray diffraction), BET (Brunaeur, Emmett and Teller), TEM (Transmission electron microscope), FESEM (Field emission-scanning electron microscope) coupled with EDS (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer), PL (photoluminescence), VSM (Vibrating Sample Magnetometer) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) were applied for identification of catalyst features. A possible mechanism for PMS activation and DZ degradation was proposed in details. The effect of solution pH, various concentrations of catalyst, PMS and DZ, quenching agents, different chemical oxidants and co-existing anions was assessed as operating factors to determine the optimum conditions. PMS decomposed effectively in coupling with ZnO@SiO2@Fe3O4 and UV. At optimal conditions, over 95 and 56% of DZ and TOC were removed during 60 min reaction, respectively. The complete degradation of DZ was confirmed using its absorption peak in UV-vis spectra analysis over 60 min treatment. A wide variety of free radicals was identified during quenching tests. HO• and h+ played a pivotal role in the degradation process of DZ. Decreasing the degradation efficiency in the presence of anions was as Cl- > CO32- > NO3- > PO43- > SO42- > HCO3-. A negligible amount of leaching Fe (<0.2 mg/L) was found for ZnO@SiO2@Fe3O4, indicating that the catalyst possesses a high stability in oxidation systems. In addition, a significant potential was achieved in reusing of catalyst within five consecutive runs. In conclusion, ZnO@SiO2@Fe3O4/PMS/UV hybrid system can be utilized as a promising advanced oxidation process into efficient degradation of pesticides, thanks to easy recovery, high catalytic activity, co-production of different reactive species and high durability and recyclability potential.
