[PMID: 36464019 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137446] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
With the rapid development of drinking water disinfection technology, extensive attentions are paid to the nitrogenous disinfection by-products (N-DBPs) that has strong carcinogenicity, thus their degradation becomes important for the health of human beings. In this work, for the first time, CoFe-LDH material used as particle electrode is proposed to treat trace N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR) in a three-dimensional aeration electrocatalysis reactor (3DAER). The factors on the degradation efficiency and energy consumption of NPYR are systematically investigated, and the results of radical quenching experiments show that the degradation of NPYR is completed by combining with ·OH, ·O2and direct oxidation together. CoFe-LDH particle electrode plays a vital role in generating ·OH via heterogeneous ‾Fenton-like reaction. Moreover, the adsorbed saturated CoFe-LDH particle electrode can be regenerated by electrochemical action to induce further recycle adsorption and form in-situ electrocatalysis. This work pave a way for the removal of NPYR with high efficiency, low energy conservation and environmental protection.

Abstract
Lead dioxide-based electrodes have shown a great performance in the electrochemical treatment of organic wastewater. In the present study, modified PbO2 anodes supported on stainless steel (SS) with a titanium oxide interlayer such as SS/TiO2/PbO2 and SS/TiO2/PbO2-10% Boron (B) were prepared by the sol–gel spin-coating technique. The morphological and structural properties of the prepared electrodes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that the SS/TiO2/PbO2-10% B anode led to a rougher active surface, larger specific surface area, and therefore stronger ability to generate powerful oxidizing agents. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements showed that the modified PbO2 anodes displayed a lower charge transfer resistance Rct. The influence of the introduction of a TiO2 intermediate layer and the boron doping of a PbO2 active surface layer on the electrochemical degradation of ampicillin (AMP) antibiotic have been investigated by chemical oxygen demand measurements and HPLC analysis. Although HPLC analysis showed that the degradation process of AMP with SS/PbO2 was slightly faster than the modified PbO2 anodes, the results revealed that SS/TiO2/PbO2-10%B was the most efficient and economical anode toward the pollutant degradation due to its physico-chemical properties. At the end of the electrolysis, the chemical oxygen demand (COD), the average current efficiency (ACE) and the energy consumption (EC) reached, respectively, 69.23%, 60.30% and 0.056 kWh (g COD)−1, making SS/TiO2/PbO2-10%B a promising anode for the degradation of ampicillin antibiotic in aqueous solutions.

Energy-efficient removal of trace antibiotics from low-conductivity water using a Ti 4O 7 reactive electrochemical ceramic membrane: Matrix effects and implications for byproduct formation.

Abstract
The inevitably high energy consumption of traditional electrochemical processes to treat low-conductivity water has limited their wider application. Herein, we present an energy-efficient alternative, i.e., a Ti4O7 reactive electrochemical ceramic membrane (Ti4O7-REM) system with a superior mass transfer ability. For the removal of 10-200 μM norfloxacin (NOR) from low-conductivity (178-832 μS cm-1) water, the Ti4O7-REM system increased the kinetics rate constant by 4.3-34.0 times, thus decreasing the energy cost by 80.5-97.3% compared with a flow-by system. The rapid NOR removal was related to the enhanced direct electron transfer process in the Ti4O7-REM system, which allowed for higher resistance to HCO3- scavenging and a favorable reaction between NOR and the active sites. Meanwhile, this mechanism likely contributed to the less formation of inorganic chlorinated product, ClO3-, in the presence of Cl-. Although organic chlorinated byproducts were not detected during NOR degradation in the Ti4O7-REM system, Cl- influenced the speciation of the intermediates. A single-pass Ti4O7-REM system demonstrated 94-97% removal of trace antibiotics from real water samples in 30 s. The additional energy consumption (<0.02 kWh m-3) using a Ti4O7-REM system only contributed to 5.0-6.4% of the total in a typical tertiary wastewater treatment plant. Based on the above results, we can conclude that the convection-enhanced REM technique is viable for the purification of low-conductivity natural waters.

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
The oxygen evolution reaction kinetics in industrial zinc electrowinning is sluggish, resulting in low electrocatalytic activity and substantial energy expenditure (about one-third of energy was wasted due to the strong polarization effect). Herein, the paper described a core-shell structured MnCo2O4.5@C modified PbO2 electrode through the pyrolysis and co-electrodeposition as a promising candidate for zinc electrowinning. As a result, the obtained Pb-0.2%Ag/α-PbO2/β-PbO2-MnCo2O4.5@C composite electrode showed a sandwich-like structure, where Pb-0.2%Ag as a core, α-PbO2 as a mid-layer, and β-PbO2-MnCo2O4.5@C served as an electrocatalytic layer. It also possessed improved OER catalytic activity, only required 680 mV to achieve a current density of 50 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 216.04 mV dec-1 in an acidic solution containing 50 g L-1 Zn2+ and 150 g L-1 H2SO4. The current efficiency increased by 0.7% and the cell voltage reduced by 360 mV as compared to a conventional Pb-0.76%Ag alloy electrode, leading to a remarkable energy-consumption reduction of 283.5 kW h for producing per ton metallic zinc. Furthermore, Pb-0.2%Ag/α-PbO2/β-PbO2-MnCo2O4.5@C exhibited a prolonged service life, which worked about 44 h under an ultra-high current density of 2 A cm-2. Hence, this paper provides the strategy to design and construct non-precious, high-performance catalyst for electrolysis and other applications.

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
A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) doped PbO2 anode with a highly hydrophobicity was fabricated by electrodeposition method. In this process, vertically aligned TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2NTs) are formed by the anodic oxidation of Ti plates as an intermediate layer for PbO2 electrodeposition. The characterization of the electrodes indicated that PTFE was successfully introduced to the electrode surface, the TiO2NTs were completely covered with β-PbO2 particles and gave it a large surface area, which also limited the growth of its crystal particles. Compared with the conventional Ti/PbO2 and Ti/TiO2NTs/PbO2 electrode, the Ti/TiO2NTs/PbO2-PTFE electrode has enhanced surface hydrophobicity, higher oxygen evolution potential, lower electrochemical impedance, with more active sites, and generate more hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which were enhanced by the addition of PTFE nanoparticles. The electrocatalytic performance of the three electrodes were investigated using dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as the model pollutant. The efficiency of the DBP removal of the three electrodes was in the order: Ti/TiO2NTs/PbO2-PTFE > Ti/TiO2NTs/PbO2 > Ti/PbO2. The degradation process followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model well, with rate constants of 0.1326, 0.1266, and 0.1041 h-1 for the three electrodes, respectively. The lowest energy consumption (6.1 kWh g-1) was obtained after 8 h of DBP treatment using Ti/TiO2NTs/PbO2-PTFE compared to Ti/TiO2NTs/PbO2 (6.7 kWh g-1) and Ti/PbO2 (7.4 kWh g-1) electrodes. Moreover, the effects of current density, initial pH and electrolyte concentration were investigated. Finally, the products of the DBP degradation process were verified based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, and possible degradation pathways were described.

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
Coal tar wastewater is hard to degrade by traditional methods because of its toxic pollutant constituents and high concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons, especially phenolic substances. A new type of hydrophobic benzacetone modified PbO2 anode (BA-PbO2 electrodes) was used for the electrocatalytic treatment of coal tar wastewater in a continuous cycle reactor. The surface morphology, structure, valences of elements, hydrophobicity, hydroxyl radical (·OH) produced capacity, electrochemical properties and stability of BA-PbO2 electrodes were characterized by SEM (scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), contact angle, a fluorescence probe test, an electrochemical workstation and accelerated life test, respectively. The BA-PbO2 electrodes exhibited a compact structure and finely dispersed crystallize size of 4.6 nm. The optimum degradation conditions of coal tar wastewater were as follows: current density of 90 mA cm-2, electrode gap of 1 cm and temperature at 25 °C with flow velocity of 80 L h-1. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency reached 92.39% after 240 min of degradation under the optimized conditions and the after-treatment COD value was 379.51 mg L-1 which was lower than the centralized emission standard (less than 400 mg L-1). These findings demonstrated the feasibility and efficiency of electrocatalytically degrading coal tar wastewater by BA-PbO2 electrodes. The possible mechanism and pathway for phenol a specific pollutant in coal tar wastewater were investigated by quantum chemistry calculations (Multiwfn) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The toxicity of each intermediate was predicted by the ECOSAR program.

Abstract
Dimethylphenol isomers (DMP) pose a great threat to the environment, and the electrooxidation (EO) process proves to be an extraordinarily effective method to degrade DMP. However, the EO performance is affected by the molecular structure of DMP and the adopted experimental parameters. In this study, the effects of 2,4-DMP and 2,6-DMP on the working potential, limiting current density (Jlim), and pH were systematically analysed, with Ti-mesh plates used as the cathode and Ti/PbO2 as the anode. The peak potentials of 2,4-DMP and 2,6-DMP were determined to be 0.83 V and 0.77 V by cyclic voltammetry, with Jlim were 2.5 mA·cm-2 and 2.0 mA·cm-2, respectively. The whole process exhibited pseudo-first-order kinetics, and the kinetic constants (K) for the degradation of 2,4-DMP and 2,6-DMP were determined to be 0.0041 min-1 and 0.0150 min-1, respectively. Additionally, the optimal initial pH value for 2,4-DMP and 2,6-DMP was 5.0, where the highest hydroxyl (OH) radical density, as determined by the electron spin technique (ESR), was achieved at a higher current density. Comparatively, the OH radical density in the 2,6-DMP solution was lower than that in 2,4-DMP. In situ Fourier infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, GC-MS, and density functional theory (DFT) were employed to explore three possible degradation pathways. The main intermediates for 2,4-DMP degradation were determined to be quinone and ether, while that for 2,6-DMP degradation was quinone. According to the results of this study, the molecular structure (different methyl group positions on the benzene ring) has a great influence on the EO process.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation (EO) is often used in the advanced treatment of refractory wastewater. However, in a conventional EO process of direct-current (DC) power supply, oxide layers often form on the anodes, which not only hinder the oxidation reaction on them but also cause higher energy consumption. In this paper, a biologically treated leachate (BTL) of municipal solid waste (MSW) was comparably treated by EO with DC (DC-EO), monopulse (MP-EO), and double pulse (DP-EO) power source models in a home-made multi-channel flow reactor. The effects of process parameters of current density (I A), superficial liquid velocity (U L), pulse frequency (f P), duty ratio (R D), and so forth on the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) (RECOD), total organic carbon (TOC) (RETOC), and total nitrogen (TN) (RETN) were investigated simultaneously. Average energy consumption () and organic composition of the treated effluent of DC-EO and MP-EO were also compared comprehensively, and a new mechanism of MP-EO has been proposed accordingly. Under optimal conditions, 2 L of BTL was treated by MP-EO for 180 min, and the RECOD, RETOC, and RETN could reach as high as 80, 30, and 80%, respectively. Compared with DC-EO, the of MP-EO is reduced by 69.27%. Besides, the kinds of organic matter in the treated effluent of MP-EO are reduced from 53 in the BTL to 11, which is much less than in the DC-EO process of 29 kinds. Therefore, the MP-EO process exhibits excellent removal performance of organics and TN and economic prospects in the treatment of refractory organic wastewater.

Abstract
Highly active Ti/Sb-SnO2 electrodes were fabricated using sol-gel spin coating procedure, which exhibited a rough, uniform and multilayer coating structure. The effects of different Sb-SnO2 film layers on the physiochemical, electrochemical properties and pollutant degradability of electrodes and the mechanism were evaluated on a systematic basis. The electrodes with more active layers exhibited higher electro-catalytic performance. Upon exceeding 8 layers, the promotion effect of the coating was reduced. Considering various factors, this paper recommends preparing Ti/Sb-SnO2 electrodes coated with 8 layers to obtain higher electro-catalytic ability in landfill leachate treatment. The specific number of coating layers should be determined according to the electrode requirements. This work provided a theoretical basis and technical support for the preparation of Ti-SnO2 electrodes with high electro-catalytic activity and stability, while it still remains a great challenge to achieve an excellent balance between performance and stability before Ti/Sb-SnO2 electrodes can be implemented on a large scale in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
α-PbO2 was introduced into the intermediate layer of an electrode to prevent the separation of the electrodeposited layer and maintain oxidizing power. The resulting Ti/α-PbO2/β-PbO2 composite electrode was applied to the electrochemical decolorization of methylene blue (MB) and the operating conditions for MB decolorization with the Ti/α-PbO2/β-PbO2 electrode were optimized. The morphology, structure, composition, and electrochemical performance of Ti/α-PbO2 and Ti/α-PbO2/β-PbO2 anode were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The optimum operating parameters for the electrochemical decolorization of MB at Ti/α-PbO2/β-PbO2 composites were as follows: Na2SO4 electrolyte 0.05 g L−1, initial concentration of MB 9 mg L−1, cell voltage 20 V, current density 0.05–0.10 A cm−2, and pH 6.0. MB dye could be completely decolorized with Ti/α-PbO2/β-PbO2 for the treatment time of less than one hour, and the dye decolorization efficiency with Ti/α-PbO2/β-PbO2 was about 5 times better, compared with those obtained with Ti/α-PbO2.

Abstract
Novel particle electrodes, i.e. flotation tailings particle electrode (FPE), were prepared using flotation tailings, garden soil, and soluble starch with a mass ratio of 16:3:1, and then used in tetracycline wastewater treatment. The physicochemical properties of FPE were systematically characterized using SEM, XRD, FT-IR and XRF. Tetracycline adsorption and its adsorption mechanism onto FPE was explored for the first time. Parameters affecting FPE's degradation efficiency and energy consumption such as current density, electrolysis time, initial concentration, initial pH and aeration rate were examined. The electrocatalytic degradation of tetracycline shows that the degradation of tetracycline meets the pseudo-first-order kinetics. Moreover, the numbers of •OH produced on the surfaces of the cathode, anode and particle electrode were compared. Results showed that the adsorption-saturated FPE can be regenerated by electrochemical action to induce further absorption and form in-situ electrocatalysis. In order to find out the transformation products in water and degradation pathways of Tetracycline, UHPLC method was used to obtain the degradation pathways for Tetracycline. So, this work could provide a fabrication of high-efficiency and low-cost electrocatalytic for removal of pharmaceuticals pollutants from waste water as well as deeper insight into electrocatalytic mechanism, transformation products, and degradation pathways of Tetracycline in water.
