Efficient electrochemical advanced degradation of Red CL and Red WB dyes from the tanning industry using a boron-doped diamond anode. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 363:142825.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation (EO), electro-Fenton (EF), and photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) with a BDD anode have been comparatively assessed to remediate solutions of Red CL and/or Red WB azo dyes from real raw water. For the EO process in 50 mM Na2SO4 at pH 3.0, the main oxidant was the heterogeneous •OH generated at the anode, whereas in EF and PEF, the cathodic production of H2O2 and the addition of 0.50 mM Fe2+ catalyst additionally originated homogeneous •OH that enhanced the oxidation of organics. In PEF, the solution was illuminated with a 6 W UVA light. An almost total discoloration was always found operating with a 1:1 mixture of 200 mg L-1 of both dyes in 60 min, whose efficiency increased in the order of EO < EF < PEF. The HPLC analysis of the dye mixture treated by PEF disclosed that its degradation process agreed with its discoloration. A high 74% of COD was reduced due to the oxidative action of hydroxyl radicals and the photolysis of final Fe(III)-carboxylate species with UVA irradiation. The process was accompanied by an energy consumption of 0.76 kWh (g COD)-1, a value similar to the energy consumed by the applied UVA light.

Abstract
In the present study, hybrid activation of sodium peroxydisulfate (PS) by hydrodynamic cavitation and ultraviolet radiation was investigated for Congo Red (CR) degradation. Experiments were conducted using the Box-Benken design on inlet pressure (2-6 bar), PS concentration (0-50 mg. L-1) and UV radiation power (0-32 W). According to the results, at the optimum point where the pressure, PS concentration and UV radiation power were equal to 4.5 bar, 30 mg. L-1 and 16 W respectively, 92.01% of decolorization was achieved. Among the investigated processes, HC/UV/PS was the best process with the rate constant and synergetic coefficient of 38.6 × 10-3 min-1 and 2.76, respectively. At the optimum conditions, increasing the pollutant concentration from 20 mg. L-1 to 80 mg. L-1 decrease degradation rate from 92.01 to 45.21. Presence of natural organic mater (NOM) in all concentrations inhibited the CR degradation. Quenching experiments revealed that in the HC/UV/PS hybrid AOP free radicals accounted for 63.4% of the CR degradation, while the contribution of sulfate (SRs) and hydroxyl radicals (HRs) was 53.1% and 46.9%, respectively.

Abstract
A new fabrication method of nanofibrous metal oxide electrode comprising Pt nanofiber (Pt-NF) covered with PbO2 on a Ti substrate was proposed. Pt-NF was obtained by performing sputtering deposition of Pt on the surface of electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofiber on a Ti substrate, in which PVA was then removed by calcination (Ti/Pt-NF). Subsequently, by introducing PbO2 to the Ti/Pt-NF using the electrodeposition method, a nanofibrous Ti/Pt-NF/PbO2 electrode was finally obtained. Because the Ti substrate was covered by nanofibrous Pt, it had no environmental exposure and thus, was not oxidized during calcination. The crystal structure of the PbO2 mainly consisted of β-form rather than α-form; the β-form was suitable for electrochemical decomposition and remained stable even after 20 h of use. The nanofibrous Ti/Pt-NF/PbO2 electrodes showed 10% lower anode potential, 1.6 times higher current density at water decomposition potential, lower electrical resistance in the ion charge transfer resistance, and 2.27 times higher electrochemically active surface area than those of a planar-type Ti/Pt/PbO2 electrode, and demonstrated excellent electrochemical performance. As a result, compared with the planar electrode, the Ti/Pt-NF/PbO2 electrode showed more effective electrochemical decomposition toward nitrilotriacetic acid (80%) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (83%), which are commonly used as chelating agents in nuclear decontamination.

Advances in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in wastewaters: harnessing the power of phthalocyanines and phthalocyanine-containing materials. RSC Adv 2023; 13:33957-33993. [PMID: 38019980 PMCID: PMC10658578 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra06598g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Access to clean water is increasingly challenging worldwide due to human activities and climate change. Wastewater treatment and utilization offer a promising solution by reducing the reliance on pure underground water. However, it is crucial to develop efficient and sustainable methods for wastewater purification. Among the emerging wastewater treatment strategies, photocatalysis has gained significant attention for decomposing organic pollutants in water, especially when combined with sunlight and a recoverable photocatalyst. Heterogeneous photocatalysts have distinct advantages, as they can be recovered and reused without significant loss of activity over multiple cycles. Phthalocyanine dyes, with their exceptional photophysical properties, are particularly valuable for homogeneous and heterogeneous photocatalysis. By immobilizing these photosensitizers in various supports, hybrid materials extend their light absorption into the visible spectrum, complementing most supports' limited UV light absorption. The novelty and research importance of this review stems from its discussion of the multifaceted approach to treating contaminated wastewater with phthalocyanines and materials containing phthalocyanines. It highlights key aspects of each study, including photocatalytic efficiency, recyclability characteristics, investigation of the generation of oxygen species responsible for degradation, identification of the major degradation byproducts for each pollutant, and others. Moreover, the review includes tables that illustrate and compare the various phthalocyanines and supporting materials employed in each study for pollutant degradation. Additionally, almost all photocatalysts mentioned in this review could degrade at least 5% of the pollutant, and more than 50 photocatalysts showed photocatalytic rates above 50%. When immobilized in some support, the synergistic effect of the phthalocyanine was visible in the photocatalytic rate of the studied pollutant. However, when performing these types of works, it is necessary to understand the degradation products of each pollutant and their relative toxicities. Along with this, recyclability and stability studies are also necessary. Despite the good results presented in this review, some of the works lack those studies. Moreover, none of the works mentions any study in wastewater.

Molecules 2023; 28:6993. [PMID: 37836836 PMCID: PMC10574806 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28196993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Efficient and stable electrode materials are urgently required for wastewater treatment in the electrocatalytic degradation of toxic and refractory organic pollutants. Ti3+ self-doping black TiO2 nanotube arrays (Ti/B-TiO2-NTs) as an interlayer were used for preparing a novel PbO2 electrode via an electrochemical reduction technology, and a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-modified PbO2 catalytic layer was successfully achieved via an electrochemical deposition technology. The physicochemical characterization tests showed that the Ti/B-TiO2-NTs/PbO2-SDS electrodes have a denser surface and finer grain size with the introduction of Ti3+ in the interlayer of Ti/TiO2-NTs and the addition of SDS in the active layer of PbO2. The electrochemical characterization results showed that the Ti3+ self-doping black Ti/TiO2-NTs/PbO2-SDS electrode had higher oxygen evolution potential (2.11 V vs. SCE), higher electrode stability, smaller charge-transfer resistance (6.74 Ω cm-2), and higher hydroxyl radical production activity, leading to it possessing better electrocatalytic properties. The above results indicated that the physicochemical and electrochemical characterization of the PbO2 electrode were all enhanced significantly with the introduction of Ti3+ and SDS. Furthermore, the Ti/B-TiO2-NTs/PbO2-SDS electrodes displayed the best performance on the degradation of methylene blue (MB) in simulated wastewater via bulk electrolysis. The removal efficiency of MB and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) could reach about 99.7% and 80.6% under the optimal conditions after 120 min, respectively. The pseudo-first-order kinetic constant of the Ti/B-TiO2-NTs/PbO2-SDS electrode was 0.03956 min-1, which was approximately 3.18 times faster than that of the Ti/TiO2-NTs/PbO2 electrode (0.01254 min-1). In addition, the Ti/B-TiO2-NTs/PbO2-SDS electrodes showed excellent stability and reusability. The degradation mechanism of MB was explored via the experimental identification of intermediates. In summary, the Ti3+ self-doping black Ti/TiO2-NTs/PbO2-SDS electrode is a promising electrode in treating wastewater.

Abstract
Petrochemical costs, limited fossil fuel reserves, and concerns about greenhouse gas emissions have raised interest in developing renewable approaches for synthesizing biobased polyurethanes. This study aims to solve these problems by making nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) reinforcement from waste chicken eggshells and adding it to polyurethane synthesis through in situ polymerization. The novelty of the research lies in the utilization of HA as a reinforcement material and renewable resources for polyurethane production. The results confirm that HA was successfully added to the polyurethane backbone. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis confirmed that the NCO groups were changed to urethane linkages. TGA examination demonstrated that the samples exhibited thermal stability up to 457 °C with a mass loss of 61%, indicating enhanced thermal stability. DMA measurements showed improved mechanical properties of the synthesized polyurethanes, with storage modulus (E'), complex modulus (E*), and compliance complex (D*) values of 0.177, 22.522, and 0.660 MPa-1, respectively. SEM analysis confirmed the homogeneous surface and well-dispersed HA reinforcement. Swelling characteristics revealed an optimum absorption of 30% H2O, 35% CH3OH, and 45% CCl4. Polyurethane composites exhibited significant chemical resistance and hydrolytic stability in acidic and basic media. Additionally, the composites demonstrated efficient adsorption of methyl orange from wastewater, with the PUHCI series achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 85.50 mg/g under optimal conditions of 0.030 g/mL dose, 45 °C temperature, 2.5 h contact time, and pH 6.0..

Abstract
It is essential to develop an efficient technology for the elimination of refractory contaminants due to their high toxicity. In this study, a novel underwater bubbling pulsed discharge plasma (UBPDP) system was proposed for the degradation of Orange II (OII). The degradation performance experiments showed that by enhancing the peak voltage and pulse frequency, the degradation efficiency of OII increased gradually. The removal efficiencies under different air flow rates were close. Reducing OII concentration and solution conductivity could promote the elimination of OII. Compared with neutral and alkaline conditions, acidic condition was more beneficial to OII degradation. The active species including ·OH, ·O2-, 1O2, and hydrated electrons were all involved in OII degradation. The concentrations of O3 and H2O2 in OII solution were lower than those in deionized water. During discharge, the solution pH increased while conductivity decreased. The variation of UV-vis spectra with treatment time indicated the effective decomposition of OII. Possible degradation pathways were speculated based on LC-MS. The toxicity of intermediate products was predicted by the Toxicity Estimation Software Tool. Coexisting constituents including Cl-, SO42-, HCO3-, and humic acid had a negative effect on OII removal. Finally, the comparison with other technology depicted the advantage of the UBPDP system.

Abstract
The performance of granular activated carbon (GAC) loaded with different combinations of Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, and Ti was examined for the electrochemical degradation of an azo dye such as acid red B (AR-B). Among the bimetallic groups, the combination of Fe and Co exhibited the best degradation effect. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the morphology of the catalyst is CoFe2O4, and scanning electron microscopy manifested that the catalyst is distributed on the GAC surface and holes. The initial pH, hydraulic retention time, and current intensively affected the decolourisation and degradation efficiencies of AR-B, while the electrolyte types and concentrations did not exert any considerable effect. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy indicated that strong signals of hydroxyl radicals are produced by the Fe-Co/GAC electrodes. Results from fluorescence spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry suggested that hydroxyl radicals preferentially attack azo bonds during the degradation of AR-B, forming a series of compounds, and these compounds are finally degraded into small molecules of organic acids, carbon dioxide, and water.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation is an efficient method for the destruction of dyes in wastewater streams. The experimental conditions during electrochemical oxidation (EO) and molecular structure of a dye greatly influence the extent of degradation. The extent of degradation for a variety of dyes by EO can be predicted conveniently by the use of Quantitative structure-activity Relationship (QSAR) models. An abundant amount of published data on dye degradation by EO using highly variable experimental conditions lies unutilized to prepare QSAR models. In this study, an effort is made to use published experimental data on EO of aqueous dyes after applying an easy method of normalization, to prepare QSAR models for percent color and COD removal. Normalized color and COD removal were obtained by multiplying the reported removal by volume of reactor and concentration of dye; and divided by total current passed and the time of electrolysis. More than 15 molecular descriptors were computed using Schrodinger-suit 2018-3. The multiple linear regression (MLR) approach was used to develop normalized color and COD removal models. The quantum chemical descriptors: highest occupied molecular orbital energy (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (LUMO), polar surface area (PSA), hydrogen bond donor count (HBD), and number of atoms were found significant. The statistical indices: goodness-of-fit, R2 > 0.75, and internal and external validations, Q2LOOCV and Q2ext, > 0.5, satisfied the criteria for predictive models and indicated that the method of normalization used in this study is adequate. Developed QSAR models are quite simple, interpretable, and transparent.

Abstract
Exploration of highly efficient and robust catalyst is pivotal for electrocatalytic degradation of dye wastewater, but it still is a challenge. Here, we develop a three-dimensional self-supported SnO2-Mn2O3 hybrid nanosheets grown on carbon cloth (noted by SnO2-Mn2O3@CC) electrode via a simple hydrothermal method and annealing treatment. Benefitting from the interlaced nanosheets architecture that enlarges the surface area and the synergetic component effect that accelerates the interfacial electronic transfer, SnO2-Mn2O3@CC electrode exhibits a superior electrocatalytic degradation efficiency for cationic blue X-GRRL dye in comparison with the single metal oxide electrode containing SnO2@CC and Mn2O3@CC. The degradation efficiency of cationic blue X-GRRL on SnO2-Mn2O3@CC electrode can reach up to 97.55% within 50 min. Furthermore, self-supported architecture of nanosheets on carbon cloth framework contributes to a robust stability compared with the traditional electrode via the multiple dip/brush coating accompanied by the thermal decomposition method. SnO2-Mn2O3@CC electrode exhibits excellent recyclability, which can still retain a degradation efficiency of 94.12% after six cycles. This work may provide a new pathway for the design and exploration of highly efficient and robust electrooxidation catalysts for dye degradation.

Abstract
Stable and efficient SnO2 electrodes are very promising for effectively degrading refractory organic pollutants in wastewater treatment. In this regard, we firstly prepared Ti3+ self-doped urchin-like rutile TiO2 nanoclusters (TiO2-x NCs) on a Ti mesh substrate by hydrothermal and electroreduction to serve as an interlayer for the deposition of Sb-SnO2 . The TiO2-x NCs/Sb-SnO2 anode exhibited a high oxygen evolution potential (2.63 V vs. SCE) and strong ⋅OH generation ability for the enhanced amount of absorbed oxygen species. Thus, the degradation results demonstrated its good rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB), alizarin yellow R (AYR), and methyl orange (MO) removal performance, with the rate constant increased 5.0, 1.9, 1.9, and 4.7 times, respectively, compared to the control Sb-SnO2 electrode. RhB and AYR degradation mechanisms are also proposed based on the results of high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and quenching experiments. More importantly, this unique rutile interlayer prolonged the anode lifetime sixfold, given its good lattice match with SnO2 and the three-dimensional concave-convex structure. Consequently, this work paves a new way for designing the crystal form and structure of the interlayers to obtain efficient and stable SnO2 electrodes for addressing dye wastewater problems.

Abstract
The interspecies electron transfer (IET) between microbes and archaea is the key to how the anaerobic digestion process performs. However, renewable energy technology that utilizes the application of a bioelectrochemical system together with anaerobic additives such as magnetite-nanoparticles can promote both direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) as well as indirect interspecies electron transfer (IIET). This has several advantages, including higher removal of toxic pollutants present in municipal wastewater, higher biomass to renewable energy conversion, and greater electrochemical efficiencies. This review explores the synergistic influence of bioelectrochemical systems and anaerobic additives on the anaerobic digestion of complex substrates such as sewage sludge. The review discussions present the mechanisms and limitations of the conventional anaerobic digestion process. In addition, the applicability of additives in syntrophic, metabolic, catalytic, enzymatic, and cation exchange activities of the anaerobic digestion process are highlighted. The synergistic effect of bio-additives and operational factors of the bioelectrochemical system is explored. It is elucidated that a bioelectrochemical system coupled with nanomaterial additives can increase biogas-methane potential compared to anaerobic digestion. Therefore, the prospects of a bioelectrochemical system for wastewater require research attention.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 217:114778. [PMID: 36368374 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
A PbO2 electrode integrating electrocatalytic and adsorptive functions was successfully fabricated by embedding layer-by-layer graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) into β-PbO2 active layer (GNPs/PbO2) and employed as anode for high-efficient removal of sulfadiazine (SDZ). In electrochemical degradation experiments, SDZ was quickly enriched on the surface of GNPs/PbO2 film via adsorption and then oxidized by ⋅OH in-site. In terms of the electrocatalytic performance and adsorption of electrode, the optimal electrodeposition time for each β-PbO2 outer layer was 4 min (GNPs/PbO2-4). Compared with conventional PbO2 electrode, the layer-by-layer GNPs resulted in the smaller crystal size and denser surface of PbO2 electrode, thus facilitating the generation of active oxygen species. At the same time, the specific surface area, oxygen evolution potential (OEP) of the anode were enhanced and the charge-transfer resistance was reduced. For GNPs/PbO2-4 anode, the optimal conditions of electrochemical oxidation of SDZ were identified as initial pH 9, 50 mg/L of SDZ and 20 mA/cm2 of current density using response surface methodology (RSM), 98.15% of SDZ could be removed in this case. The contribution of radical oxidation and non-radical oxidation to SDZ removal was about 79% and 21%, respectively. Moreover, the reaction pathways of SDZ on the GNPs/PbO2-4 electrode involving hydroxylation, radical reaction and ring cleavage were speculated. Finally, the continuous SDZ degradation and accelerated service lifetime test suggested that the GNPs/PbO2-4 electrode was shown to be stable and repeatable, and the Pb2+ concentration was measured to ensure the safety of the treated solution. Consequently, the above findings provide an innovative way to design and prepare an effective and stable PbO2 electrode for electrochemical degradation of antibiotic wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, tartrazine solutions were oxidized using innovative electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) that combined persulfate (PS) activation with electrogenerated H2O2, cathodic reduction and anodic oxidation at Pt and BDD anodes, and graphite cathode in an undivided stirred reactor. For the Pt anode, SO4·- was generated from a reduction reaction at the cathode and a reaction between the PS and electrogenerated H2O2. For the BDD anode, SO4·- was generated from a reduction reaction at the cathode, an oxidation reaction at the anode, and a reaction between PS and electrogenerated H2O2. Among these activation methods, the activation efficiency of PS by electrogenerated H2O2 is much better than other methods. The effects of PS concentration up to 36 mM, applied current density between 6 to 15 mA cm-2, and temperatures between 25 to 45 °C were investigated. For the electro-Fenton process with Pt anode (Pt-H2O2/PS process), the best result for oxidizing 250 mg L-1 tartrazine solution was obtained with 37.5 mM Na2SO4 + 9.0 mM Na2S2O8, applied current density at 12 mA cm-2 and 45 °C, acquiring total color removal after 30 min reaction. For the electro-Fenton process with BDD anode (BDD-H2O2/PS process), the best result for oxidizing 250 mg L-1 tartrazine solution was obtained with 25 mM Na2SO4 + 18 mM Na2S2O8, applied current density at 12 mA cm-2 and 45 °C, yielding 100% color removal after 30 min reaction. The main oxidizing agents are SO4·- and OH· in the anodic oxidation process with PS and the electro-Fenton process with PS. It is concluded that the additions of PS tremendously improve the oxidation power of electro-Fenton processes with PS, especially the Pt-H2O2/PS process.

Abstract
Herein, we report poly(N-isopropylacrylamide/2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid) microgel fabricated with silver nanoparticles. The identification of copolymerization and functional groups in the bare microgel and those fabricated with silver nanoparticles was examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The pH and temperature sensitivity of microgels was studied using dynamic light scattering. Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out to study the thermal stability. X-Ray diffraction patterns indicated the amorphous nature of bare microgel and crystalline nature of those containing silver nanoparticles. A bathochromic shift was found in the surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles present in microgel with increase in pH of the medium. Moreover, the microgel containing silver nanoparticles served as an effective catalyst for reducing the toxic nitroaromatic pollutants and carcinogenic dyes. The microgel containing silver nanoparticles also showed good capability to serve as biosensor for the detection of hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
A novel PbO2 electrode was fabricated by adding graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) inter-layer into β-PbO2 active layer (called GNP-PbO2) and utilized to degradation of antibiotic enoxacin (ENO). The GNP-PbO2 electrode had a much rougher surface than the typical PbO2 electrode, with smaller crystal size and lower charge-transfer resistance at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Notably, the GNP inter-layer increased the oxygen evolution potential of PbO2 electrode (2.05 V vs. SCE), which was very beneficial to inhibit oxygen evolution and promote ·OH production. The relatively best operating parameters for ENO removal and energy efficiency were current density of 20 mA cm-2, initial pH of 7, initial ENO concentration of 100 mg L-1 and electrode distance of 4 cm. Furthermore, indirect radical oxidation was found to be the main way during electrolysis process. Based on the observed analysis of intermediate products, the main reaction pathways of ENO included hydroxylation, defluorination and piperazine ring-opening. Finally, combinating with the electro-oxidation capability, stability and safety evaluation, we can conclude that GNP-PbO2 is a promising anode for treatment of various organic pollutants in wastewater.

Abstract
A significant number of pollutants in wastewater can be electrocatalytically oxidized by SnO2-Sb, a relatively inactive electrode. However, the arduous process of environmental remediation due to poor electrochemical performance and short service life of the traditional Ti/SnO2-Sb electrode. In this work the SnO2 electrode with a micron-sized sphere structure was prepared by in-situ hydrothermal. The results of the study that the electrode (Pb-10%) synthesized from the precursor solution in which the Pb:Sn molar ratio is 10% exhibits excellent electrooxidation properties. Impressiveing, the Pb-10% electrode displayed the small charge transfer resistance (10.71 Ω) and the high oxygen evolution potential (2.26 V vs. SCE). Thus, the electrochemical degradation experiment demonstrates that 100 mg L-1 MB was degraded by Pb-10% electrode under the condition of initial pH = 5, and the decolorization rate reached 94.6%. Moreover, the influence of different parameters such as Pb doping amount, initial pH value of solution, initial concentration of MB and inorganic ions on degradation efficiency were also explored, in turn the practical application of electrodes in the field of purifying water resources is optimized. It is worth noting that the service life of the optimized electrode (100 mA cm-2, 0.5 M H2SO4, 90 h) is about 12 times longer than that of the bare electrode (Sn-Sb). Therefore, the high-performance Ti/SnO2-Sb electrode prepared in this work possesses vast application prospects in the electrocatalytic oxidation.

Abstract
Heterogeneous chemical processes occupy a pivotal position in many fields of applied chemistry. Monitoring reaction kinetics in such heterogeneous systems together with challenges associated with ex-situ analytical methodologies can lead to inaccurate information about the nature of the catalyst surfaces as well as information about the steps involved. The present work explores the possibility of kinetic measurements of chemical reactions and adsorption processes of homogeneous and heterogeneous systems through the variation of RGB intensities of digital images using a smartphone combined with a program written in Python to accelerate and facilitate data acquisition. In order to validate the method proposed, the base promoted hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate was initially investigated. The rate constants obtained through RGB analysis (0.01854 min-1) is almost identical to that using traditional UV-Vis spectroscopy (0.01848 min-1). The proposed method was then applied to monitor the kinetics of three heterogeneous processes: (1) reduction of 4-nitrophenolate in the presence of dispersed Pd/C; (2) decomposition of methyl orange with TiO2; and (3) adsorption of rhodamine on montmorillonite. In general, the method via digital images showed high reproducibility and analytical frequency, allowing the execution of simultaneous analyses, with an accuracy comparable to UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The method developed herein is a practical and valuable alternative for obtaining kinetic data of heterogeneous reactions and processes where a color change is involved, bypassing sampling collection and processing which decreases analytical frequency and may lead to data errors.

Abstract
This study investigates the behavior and intracellular changes in Escherichia coli (model organism) during electro-oxidation with Ti/Sb-SnO2/PbO2 anode in a chlorine free electrochemical system. Preliminary studies were conducted to understand the effect of initial E. coli concentration and applied current density on disinfection. At an applied current density 30 mA cm-2, 7 log reduction of E. coli was achieved in 75 min. The role of reactive oxygen species' (ROS) in E.coli disinfection was evaluated, which confirmed hydroxyl (•OH) radical as the predominant ROS in electro-oxidation. Observations were carried out at cell and molecular level to understand E.coli inactivation mechanism. Scanning electron microscopy images confirmed oxidative damage of the cell wall and irreversible cell death. Intracellular and extracellular protein quantification and genetic material release further confirmed cell component leakage due to cell wall rupture and degradation due to •OH radical interaction. Change in cell membrane potential suggests the colloidal nature of E. coli cells under applied current density. Plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid degradation study confirmed fragmentation and degradation of released genetic material. Overall, effective disinfection could be achieved by electro-oxidation, which ensures effective inactivation and prevents regrowth of E. coli. Disinfection of real wastewater was achieved in 12 min at an applied current density 30 mA cm-2. Real wastewater study further confirmed that effective disinfection is possible with a low cost electrode material such as Ti/Sb-SnO2/PbO2. Energy consumed during disinfection was determined to be 4.978 kWh m-3 for real wastewater disinfection at applied current density 30 mA cm-2. Cost of operation was estimated and stability of the electrode was studied to evaluate the feasibility of large scale operation. Relatively low energy and less disinfection time makes this technology suitable for field scale applications.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:49976-49984. [PMID: 35224693 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-022-18927-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Electro-oxidation is a promising technology for wastewater treatment with biorefractory organic and nitrogen pollutants; however, the high energy demand hinders its wide application. In this study, a novel method by regulating significant parameter during the electro-oxidation process in a timely manner for real dyeing wastewater treatment with energy savings was studied. Operating factors (i.e., flow rate, initial pH value, electrode distance, and current density) were investigated for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia removal, and the results indicated that current density was the key factor that obviously influenced the electrochemical performance. Indirect oxidation by active chlorine was then confirmed as the main reaction pathway for pollutant oxidation, and the relationship between the current density and the generation of active chlorine was established, suggesting that a large part of the generated active chlorine was not utilized effectively. Subsequently, a novel method of varying the current density in a timely manner based on the reaction mechanism was proposed; the results indicated that, with similar pollutant removal efficiencies, energy consumption could be reduced from 31.6 to 20.5 kWh/m3. Additionally, the novel system was further optimized by Box-Behnken design: The COD removal efficiency could reach 71.8%, and the energy demand could be reduced by 45.6%.

Abstract
Stable electrode materials with high catalytic activity are urgently required for electrochemical degradation of refractory organic pollutants in wastewater treatment. Herein, high conductive MXene (Ti3C2Tx) was firstly fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) as an interlayer for preparing a novel PbO2 electrode. The well-conducted Ti3C2Tx interlayer significantly improved the electrochemical performance of the EPD-2.0/PbO2 (EPD time was 2.0 min) electrode with the charge transfer resistance decreased by 9.51 times, the inner active sites increased by 5.21 times and the ∙OH radicals generation ability enhanced by 4.07 times than the control EPD-0/PbO2 anode. Consequently, the EPD-2.0/PbO2 electrode achieved nearly 100% basic fuchsin (BF) and 86.78% COD removal efficiency after 3.0 h electrolysis. Therefore, this new PbO2 electrode presented a promising potential for electrochemical degradation of BF and the new Ti3C2Tx middle layer could also be used to fabricate other efficient and stable anodes, such as SnO2, MnO2, TiO2, etc.

Abstract
Abstract
The review focuses on the recent development in anode materials and their synthesis approach, focusing on their compatibility for treating actual industrial wastewater, improving selectivity, electrocatalytic activity, stability at higher concentration, and thereby reducing the mineralization cost for organic pollutant degradation. The advancement in sol–gel technique, including the Pechini method, is discussed in the first section. A separate discussion related to the selection of the electrodeposition method and its deciding parameters is also included. Furthermore, the effect of using advanced heating approaches, including microwave and laser deposition synthesis, is also discussed. Next, a separate discussion is provided on using different types of anode materials and their effect on active •OH radical generation, activity, and electrode stability in direct and indirect oxidation and future aspects. The effect of using different synthesis approaches, additives, and doping is discussed separately for each anode. Graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and metal doping enhance the number of active sites, electrochemical activity, and mineralization current efficiency (MCE) of the anode. While, microwave or laser heating approaches were proved to be an effective, cheaper, and fast alternative to conventional heating. The electrodeposition and nonaqueous solvent synthesis were convenient and environment-friendly techniques for conductive metallic and polymeric film deposition.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation (EO) based on hydroxyl radicals (·OH) generated on lead dioxide has become a typical advanced oxidation process (AOP). Titanium-based lead dioxide electrodes (PbO2/Ti) play an increasingly important role in EO. To further improve the efficiency, the structure and properties of the lead dioxide active surface layer can be modified by doping transition metals, rare earth metals, nonmetals, etc. Here, we compare the common preparation methods of lead dioxide. The EO performance of lead dioxide in wastewater containing dyes, pesticides, drugs, landfill leachate, coal, petrochemicals, etc., is discussed along with their suitable operating conditions. Finally, the factors influencing the contaminant removal kinetics on lead dioxide are systematically analysed.

Abstract
In this study, nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (NCNSs) were prepared and successfully combined into the PbO2 electrode by the composite electrodeposition technology, thereby NCNS-PbO2 electrode was obtained. The electrochemical degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in aqueous solution by NCNS-PbO2 electrode was studied. The main influence factors on the degradation of SMX, such as the initial concentration of SMX, current density, electrolyte concentration and initial pH value, were analyzed in detail. Under the optimal process conditions, after 120 min of treatment, the removal ratio of SMX and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reached 99.8 % and 60.7 %, respectively. The results showed that the electrochemical degradation of SMX fitted pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. The electrochemical performance of NCNS-PbO2 electrode was better than that of PbO2 electrode by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, as well as the use of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for electrochemical performance testing. This was because the doping of nitrogen atoms improved the properties of carbon nanosheets. After the composite, the active sites on the surface of PbO2 were improved, the particle size of PbO2 was reduced, and the electrical conductivity and electrocatalytic activity of the electrode were improved. In addition, the intermediate products were determined by GC-MS method, and the possible degradation pathways of SMX were proposed.

Abstract
This work investigates the electrochemical oxidation (EO) of diclofenac (DCF) in water with Ti/Ti4O7, Ti/Ru-Ir, Ti/Sb-SnO2 and Ti/PbO2 electrodes. Scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction results suggest that Ti/Ti4O7 has porous stacked surface morphology and Ti/Sb-SnO2 possesses the smallest grain size. Linear sweep voltammetry test results indicate that PbO2 has the highest oxygen evolution potential, while Ti/Ti4O7 and Ti/Ru-Ir show better oxygen evolution activity. DCF degradation results reveal that PbO2 possessed the highest DCF removal (RDCF = 99.2%) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal (RCOD = 97.0%), the fastest COD degradation rate (k = 0.0275 min-1, R2 = 0.964), the lowest specific energy consumption (ECDCF = 1.81 kWh.g DCF-1, ECTOC = 6.90 kWh.g TOC-1). The toxicity variation of DCF during EO process on PbO2 is rise first and then to fall. Considering the differences of the four electrodes in residual, conversion and mineralization aspects, mineralization selectivity (MS) was proposed to estimate the mineralization inclination of electrodes during EO process, and PbO2 displays the strongest mineralization inclination (MS = 0.594). In addition, the possible degradation pathway of DCF on PbO2 electrode indicates a composite behavior of conversion and mineralization. All of them above indicate the promising application potential of PbO2 in lower concentration pharmaceuticals and personal care products wastewater treatment. Moreover, MS could be employed as a supplementary index to assess the different inclinations of this composite behavior on various electrodes used for electrochemical treatment of organics in later studies.

Abstract
The presence of reactive dyes in textile wastewater is a serious environmental concern due to their associated mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. The present study aims to analyze the effect of different anodic materials on the decolorization of a real textile wastewater effluent. For this purpose, four different anodic materials-TiO2-coated platine, TiO2-coated ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) (viz., RuO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and graphite-were connected, respectively, to titanium dioxide (TiO2) used as a cathode electrode. Color and cost optimization studies were performed using the response surface methodology and the Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD). According to ANOVA results, the R2 values for Pt/TiO2, RuO2/TiO2, TiO2/TiO2, and graphite/TiO2 electrode pairs were found to be 97.4%, 93.8%, 92.44%, and 92.2%, respectively, indicating a good compatibility as it is close to one. The results show that color removal efficiencies at the optimal conditions were 86.3%, 90.8%, 91.5%, and 93.6% for Pt/TiO2, graphite/TiO2, TiO2/TiO2, and RuO2/TiO2, respectively. Furthermore, energy consumption cost at the optimum conditions was also evaluated, and the results were as follows: Pt/TiO2 (0.95 €/m3), graphite/TiO2 (0.74 €/m3), TiO2/TiO2 (0.31 €/m3), and RuO2/TiO2 (0.26 €/m3). Consequently, this research paper shows that all of the tested anodic materials give satisfactory color removal efficiencies higher than 86%. When energy consumption and color removal are considered together, the use of TiO2/TiO2 and RuO2/TiO2 pairs would be preferred. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Anodic contribution was investigated for decolorization of textile wastewater by electrooxidation process. Graphite, TiO2-coated Pt, TiO2-coated RuO2, and TiO2 were used as anode materials. Highest color removal with lowest energy consumption was achieved with TiO2-coated RuO2 anode material (93.6%).

Abstract
We developed free-standing nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber (CNF) electrodes incorporating Co/CoOx nanoparticles (NPs) as a new cathode material for removing Acid Orange 7 (AO7; a dye for wool) from wastewater by the heterogeneous electro-Fenton reaction. We produced the free-standing N-doped CNF electrodes by electrospinning a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and cobalt acetate solution followed by thermal carbonation of the cobalt acetate/PAN nanofibers under a nitrogen atmosphere. We then investigated electro-Fenton-based removal of AO7 from wastewater with the free-standing N-doped-CNFs-Co/CoOx electrodes, in the presence or not of Fe2+ ions as a co-catalyst. The electrochemical analysis showed the high stability of the prepared N-doped-CNF-Co/CoOx electrodes in electrochemical oxidation experiments with excellent degradation of AO7 (20 mM) at acidic to near neutral pH values (3 and 6). Electro-Fenton oxidation at 10 mA/cm2 direct current for 40 min using the N-doped-CNF-Co/CoOx electrodes loaded with 25 wt% of Co/CoOx NPs led to complete AO7 solution decolorization with total organic carbon (TOC) removal values of 92.4% at pH 3 and 93.3% at pH 6. The newly developed N-doped-CNF-Co/CoOx electrodes are an effective alternative technique for wastewater pre-treatment before the biological treatment.

Abstract
It is important to obtain bacteria with the ability for reduction of dyes and Cr(Ⅵ) since dyes and Cr(Ⅵ) are often co-exist in textile wastewater. In this study, a new strain belonging to Ochrobactrum anthropi was isolated from textile wastewater, and could efficiently reduce Reactive Black 5 (RB 5) and Cr(Ⅵ). The results showed the degradation efficiency of RB 5 could achieve 100% and reduction efficiency of Cr(Ⅵ) was up to 80% within 3 days at initial RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ) concentration of 400 mg/L and 20 mg/L. Mn2+ and Cu2+ could enhance the removal of RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ), respectively. Glycerin, as electron donor, improved reduction efficiencies of RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ). In addition, reduction mechanisms were further investigated. The results demonstrated that decreasing of RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ) concentration were mainly through extracellular bioreduction rather than by adsorption. The FTIR and XPS analyses revealed that the O‒H, C‒C and C‒H groups on the cell surface might be involved in the reduction of RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ). The information gives useful insights into understanding of how the bacterium reduce RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ). The results indicated that the strain had excellent application prospect for treating industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Metal oxide anode electrocatalysts are important for an effective removal of contaminants and the enhancement of electrode durability in the electrochemical oxidation process. Herein, we report the enhanced lifetime of RuOx-TiO2 composite anodes that was achieved by optimizing the fabrication conditions (e.g., the Ru mole fraction, total metal content, and calcination time). The electrode durability was assessed through accelerated service lifetime tests conducted under harsh environmental conditions, by using 3.4% NaCl and 1.0 A/cm2. The electrochemical characteristics of the anodes prepared with metal oxides having different compositions were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and X-ray analyses. We noticed that, the larger the Ru mole fraction, the more durable were the electrodes. The RuOx-TiO2 electrodes were found to be highly stable when the Ru mole fraction was >0.7. The 0.8RuOx-0.2TiO2 electrode was selected as the one with the most appropriate composition, considering both its stability and contaminant treatability. The electrodes that underwent a 7-h calcination (between 1 and 10 h) showed the longest lifetime under the tested conditions, because of the formation of a stable Ru oxide structure (i.e., RuO3) and a lower resistance to charge transfer. The electrode deactivation mechanism that occurred due to the dissolution of active catalysts over time was evidenced by an impedance analysis of the electrode itself and surface elemental mapping.

Abstract
A wide variety of chemical compounds are used in human activities; however, part of these compounds reach surface water, groundwater and even water considered for potable uses. Due to the limited efficiency of water treatment by the Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants, the presence of these compounds in natural and human consumption waters can be very harmful due to their high persistence and adverse effects; these characteristics define the contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). Water treatment by Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Processes (EAOPs) has been evaluated as a promising process for the removal of persistent and recalcitrant organic contaminants. With this background, the present review aims to gather studies and information published between 2015 and 2020 regarding the occurrence of CECs in surface, potable and groundwater, its treatment by EAOPs, the main operating conditions and by-product generation of EAOPs, contaminant toxicity assessments and international statutory guideline values concerning CEC standards and allowable concentrations in the environment and treated drinking water. Therefore, in this review it was found that the compounds bisphenol A (BPA), diethyltoluamide (DEET), 17α-ethinyl estradiol (EE2), perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), carbamazepine, caffeine and atrazine were the most frequently detected in water sources, with concentrations ranging from 35.54-4800, 1.21-98, 0.005-38.5, 5-742.904, 0.0071-586, 0.89-1040, and 100-323 (ng L-1), respectively. Among the operational conditions of EAOPs, current density, pH and oxidant concentration are the main operational parameters that have an influence on these treatment technologies, besides the by-products generated, which might be removed by the integration of EAOPs with biological digestion treatments. Regarding the values of water quality standards, many CECs do not have established standard allowable concentration values, which represents a concern toward the possible toxic effects of these compounds on non-target organisms.

Abstract
In this study, computational and statistical models were applied to optimize the inherent parameters of an electrochemical decontamination of synozol red. The effect of various experimental variables such as current density, initial pH and concentration of electrolyte on degradation were assessed at Ti/RuO0·3TiO0·7O2 anode. Response surface methodology (RSM) based central composite design was applied to investigate interdependency of studied variables and train an artificial neural network (ANN) to envisage the experimental training data. The presence of fifteen neurons proved to have optimum performance based on maximum R2, mean absolute error, absolute average deviation and minimum mean square error. In comparison to RSM and empirical kinetics models, better prediction and interpretation of the experimental results were observed by ANN model. The sensitive analysis revealed the comparative significance of experimental variables are pH = 61.03%>current density = 17.29%>molar concentration of NaCl = 12.7%>time = 8.98%. The optimized process parameters obtained from genetic algorithm showed 98.6% discolorization of dye at pH 2.95, current density = 5.95 mA cm-2, NaCl of 0.075 M in 29.83 min of electrolysis. The obtained results revealed that the use of statistical and computational modeling is an adequate approach to optimize the process variables of electrochemical treatment.

Abstract
This study mainly focuses on the efficiency of anodic oxidation process (Ti/Sb-SnO2/PbO2 as anode and stainless steel as the cathode) in treating two different streams of urban wastewater, one from the influent of sequence batch reactor (WW1) and other from the effluent of constructed wetland (WW2). The effect of different operational parameters such as current density, hydraulic retention time, exposed electrode surface area, phosphorous, ammonia-nitrogen, nitrates, and coliform bacteria was studied. For an optimized current density of 30 mA/cm2 and an electrode surface area of 30 cm2, almost complete removal of COD and ammonia-nitrogen were achieved with both wastewaters (WW1 & WW2), while in case of phosphorous, 50% and 98% removal efficiencies were observed. Electrode deposition was analyzed using SEM-EDS and XRD, which confirms the presence of calcium and magnesium phosphates on the surface on the anode, which attributes to the phosphate removal. Electrochemical disinfection studies showed that complete inactivation of bacteria takes place within 30 min for WW1 and 60 min for WW2, and the cell morphological changes were studied using SEM analysis. Degradation of different micropollutants present in the wastewaters was evaluated with the aid of GC-MS. ICP - MS analysis confirmed that there was no leaching of lead from the anode surface, and the lead which is already present in the wastewater gets reduced to a permissible level, which further increases the treatment efficiency. Hence cleaner and comprehensive treatment of real urban wastewaters through anodic oxidation process was successfully demonstrated in this work.

Abstract
Electrochemical treatments of coking wastewater (CW) and coal gasification wastewater (CGW) were conducted with Ti/Ti4O7 and Ti/RuO2-IrO2 anodes. The performances of Ti/Ti4O7 and Ti/RuO2-IrO2 anodes were investigated by analyzing the effects of five key influencing factors including anodes material, current density, anode-cathode distance, initial pH value, and electrolyte type. The removal efficiencies of total organic carbon (TOC) were analyzed during the processes of CW and CGW electro-oxidation. The removal efficiencies of sixteen polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in CW and CGW by electro-oxidation were also explored to further assess the electrochemical activities of Ti/Ti4O7 and Ti/RuO2-IrO2 anodes. The Ti/Ti4O7 anode achieved 78.7% COD removal efficiency of CW, 85.8% COD removal efficiency of CGW, 50.3% TOC removal efficiency of CW, and 54.8% TOC removal efficiency of CGW, higher than the Ti/RuO2-IrO2 anode (76.7%, 78.1%, 44.8% and 46.8%). The COD removal efficiencies increased with the applied current density, decreased with the increase of the anode-cathode distance, and slightly decreased with the increase of the initial pH value. Meanwhile, the removal efficiencies of sixteen PAHs by the Ti/Ti4O7 anode were mostly higher than those by the Ti/RuO2-IrO2 anode. By comprehensively analyzing the performances of Ti/Ti4O7 and Ti/RuO2-IrO2 anodes on electrochemical treatments of CW and CGW, this study may supply insights into the application potentials of these anodes to the electrochemical treatments of real wastewater.
