Synergistic removal of bio-recalcitrant organic compounds and nitrate: Coupling photocatalysis and biodegradation to enhance the bioavailability of electron donors. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 479:135605. [PMID: 39191007 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024]
Abstract
Nitrate pollution poses significant threats to both aquatic ecosystems and human well-being, particularly due to eutrophication and increased risks of methemoglobinemia. Conventional treatment for nitrate-contaminated wastewater face challenges stemming from limited availability of carbon sources and the adverse impacts of toxins on denitrification processes. This study introduces an innovative Intimately Coupled Photocatalysis and Biodegradation (ICPB) system, which utilizes Ag3PO4/Bi4Ti3O12, denitrifying sludge, and polyurethane sponge within an anoxic environment. This system demonstrates remarkable efficacy in simultaneously removing bio-recalcitrant organic compounds (such as sulfamethoxazole) and nitrates, surpassing standalone treatment methods. Optimally, the ICPB achieves complete removal of sulfamethoxazole, along with 87.7 % removal of DOC, and 81.8 % reduction in nitrate levels. Its ability to sustain pollutant removal and biological activity over multiple cycles can be attributed to the special formation of biofilm and mineralization of sulfamethoxazole, minimizing both photocatalytic damage and toxic inhibitory effects on microbes. The dominant microbial genera of ICPB system included Castellaniella, Acidovorax, Raoultella, Giesbergeria, and Alicycliphilus. Additionally, the study sheds light on a potential mechanism for the concurrent treatment of recalcitrant organics and nitrates by the ICPB system, presenting a novel and highly effective approach for addressing biologically resistant wastewater.

Abstract
Visible light-driven intimately coupled photocatalysis and biodegradation (VDICPB) is an efficient technology for removing recalcitrant contaminants, but the degradation pathway on 17β-estradiol 3-Sulfate (E2-3S) is still not clear. In this study, VDICPB based on N-doped TiO2 as a photocatalyst was established to investigate the removal and transformation of E2-3S in synthetic wastewater. VDICPB showed a satisfactory removal efficiency of 97.8 ± 0.4 %, which was much higher than that of independent photocatalysis (84.0 ± 2.2 %) or biodegradation system (71.4 ± 1.8 %). Steroid C/D-rings of E2-3S was broken in VDICPB since the transformation process reached terminal central pathway. Primary metabolites did not accumulate in VDICPB, resulting in a low expression of functional genes. E2-3S was mainly removed by cooperative interaction of photocatalysis and co-metabolism of biofilm. Photocatalysis led to deconjugation and microbes acted to mineralization. This study provides technical reference and theoretical support for the removal of new pollutants.

Abstract
The present study investigated the removal of malachite green dye from aquifers by means of microalgae-derived mesoporous diatom biosilica. The various process variables (dye concentration, pH, and adsorbent dose) influencing the removal of the dye were optimized and their interactive effects on the removal efficiency were explored by response surface methodology. The pH of the solution (pH = 5.26) was found to be the most dominating among other tested variables. The Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.995) best fitted the equilibrium adsorption data with an adsorption capacity of 40.7 mg/g at 323 K and pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.983) best elucidated the rate of dye removal (10.6 mg/g). The underlying mechanism of adsorption was investigated by Weber-Morris and Boyd models and results revealed that the film diffusion governed the overall adsorption process. The theoretical investigations on the dye structure using DFT-based chemical reactivity descriptors indicated that malachite green cations are electrophilic, reactive and possess the ability to accept electrons, and are strongly adsorbed on the surface of diatom biosilica. Also, the Fukui function analysis proposed the favorable adsorption sites available on the adsorbent surface.

Abstract
A hybrid ultra-light and porous cellulose aerogel was prepared by extracting cellulose fibers from white paper, alkali/urea as a crosslinker agent, and functionalized with CNTs and pure anatase TiO2 nanoparticles. Since CNTs work as mechanical reinforcement for aerogels, physical and mechanical properties were measured. Besides, since TiO2 acts as a photocatalyst for degrading dyes (rhodamine B and methylene blue), UV-Vis spectroscopy under UV light, visible light, and darkroom was used to evaluate the degradation process. XRD, FTIR, and TGA were employed to characterize the structural and thermal properties of the composite. The nanostructured solid network of aerogels was visualized in SEM microscopy confirming the structural uniformity of cellulose and TiO2-CNTs onto fibers. Moreover, CLSM was used to study the nano-porous network distribution of cellulose fibers and porosity, and the functionalization process in a detailed way. Finally, the photocatalytic activity of aerogels was evaluated by degradation of dye aqueous solutions, with the best photocatalytic removal (>97 %) occurring after 110 min of UV irradiation. In addition, HPLC-MS facilitated the proposed mechanism for the degradation of dyes. These results confirm that cellulose aerogels coupled with nanomaterials enable the creation of economic support to reduce water pollution with higher decontamination rates.

Abstract
The development of visible-light-driven catalytic antimicrobial technology is a significant challenge. In this study, heterojunctions were constructed for the appropriate modification of semiconductor-based photocatalysts. A simple hydrothermal method was used for material reconstruction, and smaller CoS2 nanoparticles were deposited and in situ grown on two-dimensional nanoflower-like ZnIn2S4 carriers to form CoS2/ZnIn2S4 (CS/ZIS) Schottky heterojunctions. Systematic study via characterization techniques and density functional theory calculations indicated that the excellent photocatalytic activity of CS/ZIS stemmed from the solid interfacial coupling between the two solid-phase materials. These materials acted as co-catalysts to increase the number of active reaction sites, enhance charge transfer, drive unidirectional electron movement, and improve charge separation efficiency, which effectively facilitated the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The optimized CS/ZIS heterojunction exhibited excellent performance for the efficient photocatalytic degradation of organic matter and inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) compared with the ZnIn2S4 photocatalyst. Moreover, the antibacterial mechanism of the heterojunction photocatalyst and the extent of damage to the cell membrane and internal cytoplasm were explored by performing various assays. It was demonstrated that superoxide radicals are the predominant active species and multiple ROS act together to cause oxidative stress damage and cell inactivation.

Abstract
Intimately coupled photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB) is a promising technology to remove refractory contaminants from water. The key to successful ICPB is a carrier capable of accumulating biofilm and adhering photocatalyst firmly. Herein, BC/g-C3N4 was prepared into a three dimensional porous hydrogel and used as a carrier in ICPB system for the first time. Degradation experiments revealed that the removal rate of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in water by the ICPB system was 96.0% after 10 h, which was significantly higher than that by the photocatalysis (PC, 76.3%), biodegradation (B, 32.5%), adsorption (AD, 17.2%), and photolysis (P, 5.0%) systems. Photo-electrochemical tests confirmed that ICPB system had superior electron transfer ability between photocatalysts and microorganisms. The removal efficiency of COD proved that microorganisms played an important role in the mineralization process of TCH by the ICPB system. After the ICPB degradation experiment, microorganisms maintained high activity and Pseudomonas, Burkholderiaceae and Flavobacterium which had TCH degradation or electron transport ability, were enriched. In conclusion, the novel ICPB carrier overcame shortcomings of the traditional ICPB carrier and the novel ICPB system had superior degradation performance for TCH. This study provided a possible method to promote the practical application of ICPB technology.

Abstract
Visible-light-driven heterogeneous photo-Fenton process has emerged as the most promising Fenton-derived technology for wastewater decontamination, owing to its prominent superiorities including the potential utilization of clean energy (solar light), and acceleration of ≡Fe(II)/≡Fe(III) dynamic cycle. As the core constituent, catalysts play a pivotal role in the photocatalytic activation of H2O2 to yield reactive oxidative species (ROS). To date, all types of iron-based heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalysts (Fe-HPFCs) have been extensively reported by the scientific community, and exhibited satisfactory catalytic performance towards pollutants decomposition, sometimes even exceeding the homogeneous counterparts (Fe(II)/H2O2). However, the relevant reviews on Fe-HPFCs, especially from the viewpoint of catalyst-self design are extremely limited. Therefore, this state-of-the-art review focuses on the available Fe-HPFCs in literatures, and gives their classification based on their self-characteristics and modification strategies for the first time. Two classes of representative Fe-HPFCs, conventional inorganic semiconductors of Fe-containing minerals and newly emerging Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) are comprehensively summarized. Moreover, three universal strategies including (i) transition metal (TMs) doping, (ii) construction of heterojunctions with other semiconductors or plasmonic materials, and (iii) combination with supporters were proposed to tackle their inherent defects, viz., inferior light-harvesting capacity, fast recombination of photogenerated carriers, slow mass transfer and low exposure and uneven dispersion of active sites. Lastly, a critical emphasis was also made on the challenges and prospects of Fe-HPFCs in wastewater treatment, providing valuable guidance to researchers for the reasonable construction of high-performance Fe-HPFCs.

Abstract
1,2,4 trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TrCB) is a persistent organic pollutant with chemical stability, biological toxicity, and durability, which has a significant adverse impact on the ecological environment and human health. In order to solve the pollution problem, bagasse cellulose is used as the basic framework and nano TiO2 is used as the photocatalyst to prepare composite carriers with excellent performance. Based on this, an intimate coupling of photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB) system combining photocatalysis and microorganisms is constructed. We use the combined technology for the first time to deal with the pollution problem of 1,2,4-TrCB. The biofilm in the composite carrier can decompose the photocatalytic products so that the removal rate of 1,2,4-TrCB is 68.01%, which is 14.81% higher than those of biodegradation or photocatalysis alone, and the mineralization rate is 50.30%, which is 11.50% higher than that of photocatalysis alone. The degradation pathways and mechanisms of 1,2,4-TrCB are explored, which provide a theoretical basis and potential application for the efficient degradation of 1,2,4-TrCB and other refractory organics by the ICPB system.
