Remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons polluted soil by biochar loaded humic acid activating persulfate: performance, process and mechanisms. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 399:130633. [PMID: 38552862 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130633] [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: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
The remediation for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons contaminated soil with cost-effective method has received significant public concern, a composite material, therefore, been fabricated by loading humic acid into biochar in this study to activate persulfate for naphthalene, pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene remediation. Experimental results proved the hypothesis that biochar loaded humic acid combined both advantages of individual materials in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons adsorption and persulfate activation, achieved synergistic performance in naphthalene, pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene removal from aqueous solution with efficiency reached at 98.2%, 99.3% and 90.1%, respectively. In addition, degradation played a crucial role in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons remediation, converting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons into less toxic intermediates through radicals of ·SO4-, ·OH, ·O2-, and 1O2 generated from persulfate activation process. Despite pH fluctuation and interfering ions inhibited remediation efficiency in some extent, the excellent performances of composite material in two field soil samples (76.7% and 91.9%) highlighted its potential in large-scale remediation.

Abstract
In this study, nano-zero-valent iron/copper was synthesized by green tea extracts (GT-nZVI/Cu) and produced a stable suspension than nano-zero-valent iron synthesized by green tea extracts (GT-nZVI) injected into Cr(VI)-containing soil column. The equilibrium 1D-CDE model was successfully used to fit the penetration curves of Fe(tot), Fe(aq), and Fe(0) in order to determine the relevant parameters. The hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient of chromium-contaminated soil was 0.401 cm2·h-1, and the pore flow rate was 0.144 cm·h-1. The stable C/C0 of Fe(tot), Fe(aq), and Fe(0) in the effluent were retarded to 0.39, 0.79, and 0.11, respectively, compared to a ratio of 1 for the concentration of the tracer Cl- in the effluent to the concentration in the influent. Additionally, the 1D-CDE model describes the migration behavior of Cr(VI) with a high R2 (> 0.97). The obtained blocking coefficients declined gradually with increasing concentration of GT-nZVI/Cu suspension and decreasing concentration of Cr(VI). The content of reduced chromium in the soil decreased from 2.986 to 1.121 after remediation, while the content of more stable oxidizable chromium and residual chromium increased from 2.975 and 20.021 to 16.471 and 27.612. The phytotoxicity test showed that mung bean seeds still had a germination rate of 90% (control of 100%), root length of 29.63 mm (control of 35.25 mm), and stem length of 17.9 cm (control of 18.96 cm) after remediation with GT-nZVI/Cu. These indicated that GT-nZVI/Cu was effective in immobilizing Cr(VI) in the soil column and reduced the ecological threat. This study provides an analytical basis and theoretical model for the migration of chromium-contaminated soil in practical application.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CP) is a pesticide widely used in agricultural production. However, excessive use of CP is risky for human health and the ecological environment. Microbial remediation has become a research hotspot of environmental pollution control. In this study, the effective CP-degrading strain H27 (Bacillus cereus) was screened from farmland soil, and the degradation ratio was more than 80%. Then, the degradation mechanism was discussed in terms of enzymes, pathways, products and genes, and the mechanism was improved in terms of cell motility, secretory transport system and biofilm formation. The key CP-degrading enzymes were mainly intracellular enzymes (IE), and the degradation ratio reached 49.6% within 30 min. The optimal pH for IE was 7.0, and the optimal temperature was 25 °C. Using DFT and HPLC‒MS analysis, it was found that degradation mainly involved oxidation, hydrolysis and other reactions, and 3 degradation pathways and 14 products were identified, among which TCP (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol) was the main primary degradation product in addition to small molecules such as CO2 and H2O. Finally, the whole genome of strain H27 was sequenced, and the related degrading genes and enzymes were investigated to improve the metabolic pathways. Strain H27 had perfect genes related to flagellar assembly and chemotaxis and tended to tolerate CP. Moreover, it can secrete esterase, phosphatase and other substances, which can form biofilms and degrade CP in the environment. In addition, CP enters the cell under the action of permeases or transporters, and it is metabolized by IE. The degradation mechanism of CP by strain H27 is speculated in this study, which provided a theoretical basis for enriching CP-degrading bacteria resources, improving degradation metabolic pathways and mechanisms, and applying strain H27 to environmental pollution remediation.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 346:118981.

Abstract
The removal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in sewage is of great concern, but advanced sewage treatment technologies are not suitable for rural areas, so the multi-layer soil infiltration system (MSL) has been developed for rural sewage treatment. However, little is known about the performance and function of MSL in the treatment of ARGs in rural sewage. Here, we optimized the matrix composition and structure of MSL and explored the efficacy and mechanism of MSL systems for ARG removal under different hydraulic conditions. The ARGs removal rate of MSL ranged from 41.51% to 99.67%, in which MSL with the middle hydraulic load, high pollution load, and continuous inflowing conditions showed the best removal performance. In addition, this system can operate stably and resist the temperature fluctuation, which showed an equivalent removal rate of ARGs in warm and cold seasons, amounting to 69.0%. The structural equation model revealed that microorganisms in sewage could significantly affect ARG removal (path coefficient = 0.91), probably owing to their interspecies competition. As for the internal system, the reduction of ARGs was mainly driven by microorganisms in the system matrix (path coefficient = 0.685), especially soil-mixture-block (SMB) microorganisms. The physicochemical factors of the matrix indirectly reduce ARGs by affecting the microorganisms that adhere to the matrices. Note that the pairwise alignment of nucleotide analysis demonstrated that the system matrix, especially biochar in the SMB, adsorbed ARGs and their hosts from the sewage, and in turn eliminated them by inhibiting the spread and colonization of hosts, thereby reducing the abundance of ARGs. Collectively, this study provides a deeper insight into the removal of ARGs from rural sewage by MSL, which can help improve sewage treatment technologies.

Abstract
The past few decades have witnessed biodegradation of pesticides as a significant method in remediation of the environment for its specificity, efficiency and biocompatibility. However, the tolerability and recyclability of the enzymes in pesticide degradation and the development of enzymes that biodegrad pesticides are still urgent problems to be solved so far. Herein, a novel hyper-thermostable and chlorpyrifos-hydrolyzing carboxylesterase EstC was immobilized by biomineralization using zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), one of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with highly diverse structure and porosity. Compared with free enzyme, EstC@ZIF with a cruciate flower-like morphology presented scarcely variation in catalytic efficiency and generally improved the tolerance to organic solvents or detergents. Furthermore, there was scarcely decrease in the catalytic efficiency of EstC@ZIF and it also showed good reusability with about 50% residual activity after 12 continuous uses. Notably, EstC@ZIF could be used in actual water environment with an excellent value of degradation rate of 90.27% in 120 min, and the degradation efficiency remained about 50% after 9 repetitions. The present strategy of immobilizing carboxylesterase to treat pesticide-contaminated water broadens the method of immobilized enzymes on MOFs, and envisions its recyclable applicability in globe environmental remediation.

Abstract
The dissipation of chlorpyrifos (CP) and its hydrolytic metabolite 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) in the soil is crucial for safe agriculture. However, there is still lacking relevant information about its dissipation under different vegetation for remediation purposes. In the present study, evaluation of dissipation of CP and TCP in non-planted and planted soil with different cultivars of three types of aromatic grass viz Cymbopogon martinii (Roxb. Wats), Cymbopogon flexuosus, and Chrysopogon zizaniodes (L.) Nash was examined in light of soil enzyme kinetics, microbial communities, and root exudation. Results revealed that the dissipation of CP was well-fitted into a single first-order exponential model (SFO). A significant reduction in the half-life (DT50) of CP was observed in planted soil (30-63 days) than in non-planted soil (95 days). The presence of TCP in all soil samples was observed. The three types of the inhibitory effect of CP i.e. linear mixed inhibition (increase in enzyme-substrate affinity (Km) and decrease in enzyme pool (Vmax), un-competitive inhibition (decrease in Km and Vmax), and simple competitive inhibition were observed on soil enzymes involved in mineralization of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. The improvement in the enzyme pool (Vmax) was observed in planted soil. Streptomyces, Clostridium, Kaistobacter, Planctomyces, and Bacillus were the dominant genera in CP stress soil. CP contamination in soil demonstrated a reduction of richness in microbial diversity and enhancement of functional gene family related to cellular process, metabolism, genetic, and environmental information processing. Among all the cultivars, C. flexuosus cultivars demonstrated a higher dissipation rate of CP along with more root exudation.

Abstract
As the acidification of arable soils increases, the utilization of nutrient ions such as N, P, and K decreases substantially. It causes environmental pollution and reduces crop yields. Through previous studies, acidified soil amendments have problems such as easy-retrograde and unclear mechanism. Therefore, in this study, biochar prepared by pyrolysis using peanut shells was used as a green amendment for acidified soil. Biochar with 0, 5 and 10 % biochar ratios were applied to the acidified soil, and the improvement and mechanism were investigated via experiments and software simulations. Analysis of the software simulation results revealed that biochar had the highest unit adsorption of K+ through physical adsorption at 820.38 mg/g. This was followed by PO43-, NO3-, and NH4+ as 270.51, 235.65 and 130.93 mg/g, respectively. These ions were controlled by both electrostatic and ion-exchange adsorption processes. During the improvement, the 10 % biochar ratio group performed the best with a 65.32 % reduction in the outlet volume, and the accumulated levels of nutrient ions in the leachate dropped by 48.40-68.28 % and increased by 437.80-913.87 % in the surface soil. Nutrient ion levels decreased gradually with the increase of soil depth, which agreed with the software simulation results. This study found that applying biochar to acidified soils can provide a solution to low nutrient utilization efficiency and unclear improvement mechanism of acidified soils, and provide a partial theoretical basis for the large-scale application of biochar. Future research on biochar for soil carbon sink and microbial expansion can be strengthened to contribute to environmental protection and multi-level utilization of energy.

Abstract
The migration of extracellular antibiotic resistance genes (eARGs) in porous media is an important pathway for ARGs to spread to the subsoil and aquifer. Biochar (BC) has been widely used to reduce the mobility of soil contaminants, however, its effect on the mobility of eARGs in porous media and the mechanisms are largely unknown. Herein, the effects of BCs synthesized from wheat straw and corn straw at two pyrolysis temperatures (300 °C and 700 °C) on the transport of plasmids-carried eARGs in sand column were investigated. The BC amendments all significantly decreased the mobility of eARGs in the porous medium, but the mechanism varied with pyrolysis temperature. The higher temperature BCs had a stronger irreversible adsorption of plasmids and greatly enhanced the attachment and straining effects on plasmids during transport, thus more effectively inhibited the mobility of eARGs. The lower temperature BCs had weaker adsorption, attachment, and straining effects on plasmids, but induced generation of hydroxyl radicals in the porous medium and thereby fragmented the plasmids and hindered the amplification of eARGs. These findings are of fundamental significance for the potential application of BC in controlling the vertical spread of eARGs in soil and vadose zones.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a widely used organophosphorus insecticide that tends to form bound residues (BRs) in soils. However, the stability and biological activity of CPF-BRs remain to be explored. Facilitated by carbon-14 tracing, this study obtained CPF-BRs initially formed in two typical paddy soils (14C-CPF-BRin), and further investigated their release, transformation and phytoavailability using duckweed (Lemna minor) as a model aquatic organism. Most 14C-CPF-BRin in soils were composed of the parent CPF and its metabolite 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (2-OH-TCP), which was mainly formed through reversible entrapment by soil fulvic acids and humin (>80%). At 36 d, 66.67-80.90% of the 14C-CPF-BRin was released, of which only 2-OH-TCP could be released into the water and absorbed by the duckweed, with bioconcentration factors ranging from 247.99 to 324.68 L kg-1. The subsequent metabolism of released 14C-CPF-BRin in duckweed included phase I metabolism from 2-OH-TCP to 4-OH-TCP and phase II metabolism of conjugation of TCP with plant endogenous amino acids. The study suggested that CPF bound residues have high bioavailability in paddy field environments. Given that many pesticides and non-pesticide chemicals share structures analogous to CPF, the findings have important implications for better understanding the environmental and human health risks of man-made chemicals.

Experiment and Model Study on the Destination of 3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinol in the Purple Soil of Southwestern China with a High Ratio of Biochar Applied. SUSTAINABILITY 2022.

Abstract
3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP), the main degradation production of the pesticide chlorpyrifos and the herbicide triclopyr, features anti-degradation and high water solubility that challenge the in situ prevention of the migration of TCP from soils to water bodies. Biochar is a widely used amendment, but previous studies focused on the low content of biochar application that restricted the off-site prevention. In this study, therefore, both experiments and models were employed to explore the destination of TCP in purple soil, an Entisol with low organic matter content, large pores, and high water conductivity in southwestern China with a high ratio of biochar applied. Soil columns were homogeneously packed by mixing biochar at 0, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, then the impulsive input of the breakthrough curves was used to explore the adsorption and desorption process of TCP, and the release of adsorbed TCP was traced by Br−. Following the dynamic outflow during the adsorption processes was simulated using the cumulative distribution function of gamma distribution, and the release of TCP was simulated by coupling the mass balance equation and first-order decay kinetics equation. The results revealed that the adsorption ability of the soil increased exponentially with the content of mixed biochar, implying a much larger increment at high content. For the removal rate of 90%, e.g., the increment was about 20 mg/kg when the content of biochar was raised from 15% to 20%, while it was about 7 mg/kg when the content was raised from 0 to 5%. The dynamic release and the unreleasable TCP could be well simulated by the first-order decay kinetics equation and the logarithmic model, respectively. The releasable TCP showed an increase–decrease pattern, and the maximum was observed at a 5% biochar content. These results above will provide a systematic experimental scheme, model support, and data reference to control organic pollutants with high solubility, stability, and strong migration using biochar in an off-site pattern such as an ecological ditch system.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF), as an organophosphate insecticide extensively used in the modern agricultural system, has been gradually banned in many countries due to its reported health risks to organisms, including humans. This study used simulated paddy field experiments and carbon-14 tracing to explore the possibility of reducing environmental risks of chlorpyrifos application through appropriate agronomic practice. Results showed 14C-CPF concentration in rice plants planted in the red soil (RS) was significantly higher than that in black soil (BS) and fluvo-aquic soil (FS). The application of biochar and chicken manure in RS reduced 14C-CPF accumulation in rice plants, and the content of 14C-CPF in rice grains decreased by 25% and 50%, respectively. Adding biochar to all three soils reduced the migration of 14C-CPF, especially in FS with the highest risk of 14C-CPF migration. The addition of chicken manure in FS reduced the migration of 14C-CPF and the total residual amount of 14C-CPF in the soil. In addition, chicken manure treatment increased the formation of 14C-bound residues (BRs) in soils and changed the distribution 14C-BRs in humus. The results indicated that the degree of environmental risks associated with the CPF application varies with soil types and could be reduced by introducing suitable exogenous organic matter into different soils, which is of great significance for guiding the scientific application of chlorpyrifos in agronomic practices.

Abstract
Owing to its effectiveness and being environment-friendly, biochar has been used for adsorbing and immobilizing pollutants in soil in recent years of studies, which is also suitable for manganese pollution in soil caused by manganese mining and processing activities. In this research, alkali-modified pomelo biochar (MBC) was regarded as a soil amendment, and the improvement of soil physicochemical properties and Mn2+ sorption and transport in soil by modifying with MBC were investigated. In incubation experiment, 0-10% (w/w) MBC addition amount significantly improved the physicochemical properties of soil. Due to the amelioration of soil physicochemical properties along with the oxygen-containing functional groups and the developed pore structure of MBC itself, the adsorption capacity of MBC modification soil towards Mn2+ (qe) was enhanced in batch adsorption experiment, and qe increased by 10-108% when MBC ratio grew from 0 to 10% at 300 mg·L-1 Mn2+ solution. In column transport experiment, the Mn2+ retention rate climbed by 13-106% from 0 to 10% MBC addition proportion when adopted the MBC filling way that placed MBC on the soil upper layer, and the reinforced restriction on Mn2+ transport in soil amended with MBC might ascribe to the enhanced qe as well as the reduced saturated hydraulic conductivity. These results proved that MBC effectively augmented adsorption ability and suppressed transport of Mn2+ in soil, which could provide an available mind on prevention and remediation of soil Mn contamination.

Abstract
The application of phenylurea herbicides (PUHs) may lead to the extensive distribution in soils, while the role of straw biochar as a soil amendment on the transport and sorption of PUHs are still unclear. Thus, the transport and sorption behavior of three typical PUHs with rice straw biochar (RSB) was studied in both adsorption simulation experiments of aqueous solution and packed column experiments. The sorption mechanism of RSB to herbicides was investigated through batch sorption studies with three influencing factors including dosage of RSB, pH, and ionic strength (IS) with orthogonal test. The sorption coefficients were improved significantly by increasing the dosage of RSB, while there was no obvious influence by enhancing the pH and IS value. The optimal sorption conditions (pH value at 3, IS at 0.1 M, and RSB dosage at 60 mg) of three herbicides were set and the maximum removal rates of Monuron, Diuron, and Linuron were 41.9%, 25%, and 56.8%, respectively. The co-transport process of RSB and PUHs were investigated under different RSB dosage, pH value, and IS value. The retention effect increased greatly with enhancing the RSB dosage and pH value. However, IS did not have a significant influence on the retention of RSB, and therefore it had little effect on the adsorption capacity, which was consistent with the results of sorption experiments. The breakthrough curves (BTCs) for co-transport were well simulated by the two-site non-equilibrium convection-dispersion equation (CDE). Most of the regression coefficients (R2) were above 0.99, which uncovered the co-transport in packed column were affected by physical absorption and chemical forces. According to the fitting parameters analysis, the RSB particles and PUHs were subjected to a greater resistance and a stronger stability by reducing pH value in porous media. The presence of RSB increased the amount of dynamic sorption sites in the entire co-transport system, which led to a significant promotion of the PUHs' sorption and interception.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos is extensively used worldwide as an insecticide to control various insect pests. Long-term and irregular applications of chlorpyrifos have resulted in large-scale soil, groundwater, sediment, and air pollution. Numerous studies have shown that chlorpyrifos and its major intermediate metabolite 3,5,6-trichloropyridinol (TCP) accumulate in non-target organisms through biomagnification and have a strong toxic effect on non-target organisms, including human beings. Bioremediation based on microbial metabolism is considered an eco-friendly and efficient strategy to remove chlorpyrifos residues. To date, a variety of bacterial and fungal species have been isolated and characterized for the biodegradation of chlorpyrifos and TCP. The metabolites and degradation pathways of chlorpyrifos have been investigated. In addition, the chlorpyrifos-degrading enzymes and functional genes in microbes have been reported. Hydrolases can catalyze the first step in ester-bond hydrolysis, and this initial regulatory metabolic reaction plays a key role in the degradation of chlorpyrifos. Previous studies have shown that the active site of hydrolase contains serine residues, which can initiate a catalytic reaction by nucleophilic attack on the P-atom of chlorpyrifos. However, few reviews have focused on the microbial degradation and catalytic mechanisms of chlorpyrifos. Therefore, this review discusses the deep understanding of chlorpyrifos degradation mechanisms with microbial strains, metabolic pathways, catalytic mechanisms, and their genetic basis in bioremediation.

Abstract
Surface runoff is one of the major pollution sources impacting the quality of the surrounding waterbody. In this study, a highly-bioreactive top-layer soil incorporated with microorganism (BO) and peanut shell (PS) biochar or dairy manure (DM) biochar was proposed for removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) from contaminated surface runoff. Both batch test and sandbox experiment consistently revealed that PS coupled with BO amendment (PS + BO) was most effective for sorption and degradation of 2,4-DCP, compared to BO and DM alone or in combination. About 77% of 6000 μg∙L-1 2,4-DCP was absorbed within 36 h in the original low permeability bioreactive PS + BO soil layer (15 cm long×15 cm wide×4.5 cm deep) with the 0.33 L∙day-1 processing capacity of surface runoff. Increasing the addition of quartz sand into the bioreactor soil layer by threefold the original bioreactor improved the processing capacity to 17.5 L∙day-1. However, this permeability-optimized bioreactive layer was still not large enough to remove 2,4-DCP completely. The optimized scale by the multi-process coupling model of the convection, dispersion, adsorption, and degradation was 60 cm long × 60 cm wide × 18 cm deep where the processing capacity of 280 L·day-1reached and 97.3% of 2,4-DCP was removed, correspondingly the 2,4-DCP concentration could meet the standard limit. In addition, the obtained model parameters showed that the biochar or microorganism significantly decreased the dispersion coefficient D of 2,4-DCP in the bioreactive layer. The 2,4-DCP distribution coefficient Kd, and first-order reaction rate λ in the PS+BO system significantly greater than that in the control, BO, and PS systems. Results from this study indicated that the top-layer soil incorporated with microorganisms and biochar is a feasible and effective approach for the surface runoff treatment.
