ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:67513-67524.

Abstract
It is known that copper can be used as catalyst in photo-Fenton-like process; however, there is a lack of information related with its use in the treatment of landfill leachate (LL) in solar photo-Fenton-like processes. Here, we studied the effect of the mass of a copper sheet, the pH of the solution, and the concentration of LL in the removal of the organic matter present in this water. Before the reaction with landfill leachate, the copper sheet used in the reaction was constituted by Cu+ and Cu2O, respectively. The results showed that in a volume of 0.5 L of a pretreated LL, the higher removal of organic matter resulted using a mass of 2.7 g of the copper sheet, a pH of solution of 5, and a concentration of LL of a 10%, obtaining a final value of C/C0 of chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 0.34, 0.54, 0.66, and 0.84 for concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, respectively, and 0.0041, 0.0042, 0.0043, and 0.016 for concentration of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, respectively, of C/C0 of humic acids. The photolysis on LL at its natural pH using solar UV removes very little humic acid and COD, going from 9.4 to 8.5 and 7.7 Abs254 for photolysis and UV + H2O2, obtaining 8.6 and 17.6% of removal, respectively, and 2.01 and 13.04% removal of COD, respectively. Copper sheet applied under Fenton-like conditions results in 65.9% removal and an increase of 0.2% for humic acid and COD, respectively. Removal using only H2O2 for Abs254 and COD was 11.95 and 4.3%, respectively. Raw LL produced a 29.1% inhibition of the biological activated sludge rate after the adjustment to pH 7 and the final process of inhibition was 0.23%.

Abstract
The development of novel approaches to the remotion of pharmaceuticals in wastewater is a subject of concern due to their effect on living beings and the environment. Advanced oxidation processes and the use of relevant catalysts are feasible treatment alternatives that require further development. The development of suitable heterogeneous catalysts is a necessity. This work proposes the synthesis of an iron catalyst in a deep eutectic solvent (Fe-DES) composed of choline chloride and citric acid, which was physically and chemically characterized using SEM-EDS and TEM, FTIR, RAMAN, XRD and XPS. The characterisation confirmed the presence of iron in the form of hematite. Fe-DES was shown to be a multipurpose catalyst that can be applied in the removal of sulfamethoxazole as a reagent in the Fenton and electro-Fenton processes and as an activator of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) processes. After testing the catalyst with the aforementioned techniques, the best result was achieved by combining these processes in an electro-PMS, with great efficiency achieved by dual activation of the PMS with the catalyst and electric field, attaining total elimination at natural pH in 90 min. Furthermore, the degradation was confirmed by the detection of short-chain carboxylic acids (oxalic, succinic, and acetic) and reduction in toxicity values. These results confirm the suitability of Fe-DES to degrade high-priority pharmaceutical compounds.

Abstract
In this work, the performance of residual iron dust (RID) from metallurgic industry was assessed as Fenton catalyst for the treatment of real pulp bleaching wastewater. The focus was on the removal of recalcitrant pollutants AOX (adsorbable organic halides), by a novel, cleaner, and cost-effective circular solution based on a waste-derived catalyst. The behaviour of RID as iron source was firstly assessed by performing leaching tests at different RID:wastewater w/v ratios and contact time. Afterwards, RID-catalysed homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton processes were conducted to maximise AOX removal from the pulp bleaching wastewater. Reusability of RID was assessed by a simple collect-and-reuse methodology, without any modification. Similar AOX removal under less consumption of chemicals was achieved with the novel heterogeneous Fenton process. Reaction in the bulk solution was the main pathway of AOX removal, given that the low surface area and porosity of the material did not allow for a high contribution of surface reaction to the overall performance. Moreover, AOX removal was similar over two consecutive treatment cycles, with Fenton process being responsible for 56.7-62.1% removal of AOX from the wastewater, and the leaching step adding 11.4-13.2%. At the end of treatment, COD either decreased (1st cycle) or remained unchanged (2nd and 3rd cycle). The operating cost of the optimised heterogeneous Fenton was 3-11% lower than under conventional Fenton process. This work presented a novel, circular solution based on a low-cost waste-derived catalyst, advancing the knowledge needed to foster industrial application of such technologies to increase industrial environmental performance and efficiency.

Abstract
The mature landfill leachate (MLL) is characterized by a large number of fulvic acids and humic acids, which is refractory organic matter and can be cleaned by ozone oxidation. However, the poor property of mass transfer prohibits the widespread use of ozone oxidation in actual leachate treatment. Meanwhile, some combined processes are adopted to treat the mature landfill leachate, which places catalytic ozonation before the membrane bioreactor (MBR) process to enhance the biodegradability of MLL. Thus, this research is conducted to investigate the practicability of applying nano-Fe3O4 loaded cow-dung ash (Fe3O4@CDA) and biological post-treatment with MBR for the effective removal of pollutants from MLL and puts forward the variation of organics in leachate between catalytic ozonation and MBR. The addition of catalytic ozonation not only improved the removal of hazardous organics but also enhanced the biodegradability of the leachate and favored the subsequent MBR process. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal in the catalytic ozonation step was optimized, and 53% removal was obtained at pH = 7, catalyst dosage = 1.0 g/L, and O3 dosage = 3.0 g/L. After the MBR process, COD in effluent stabilized in the range of 57.85-65.38 mg/L, and the variation range of the ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) concentration was 5.98-10.24 mg/L. The catalytic ozonation-MBR integrated process showed strong feasibility in dealing with the biologically pre-treated leachate.

Abstract
The organic matter present in six industrial wastewaters (pulp and paper mill, brewery, textile, dairy, slaughterhouse effluents and a municipal landfill leachate) has been studied in this work using three analytical techniques: excitation-emission matrix fluorescence (EEMF), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The pulp and paper mill effluent shows characteristic signals of the presence of lignins, carbohydrates and carboxylic acids, as well as sulfate, carbonate and sulfonates (coming from surfactants used in the cleaning of tanks). The main constituents of the brewery effluent are peptides and proteins coming mainly from spent yeast and diatomite filters (the presence of the latter was confirmed by SiO bands in the FTIR spectrum). The municipal landfill leachate is characterized by the majority presence of humic substances (typical of an old landfill) and a residual presence of small peptides, amino acids and carboxylic acids. Additionally, several inorganic compounds were identified by FTIR, such as nitrate, sulfate, phosphate and cyanide ions. The textile effluent from a cotton-based industry contains carbohydrates, carboxylic acids and sulfonates, which can act as auxochromes in the textile industry. The dairy effluent comprises amino acids and small peptides coming from the biodegradation of milk and whey in addition to carbohydrates (lactose) and carboxylic acids (mainly lactic acid). The presence of tyrosine-like peaks B in the EEMF spectrum of the slaughterhouse effluent indicates the existence of small peptides and amino acids coming from the biodegradation of blood proteins. Additionally, residual glucose, fatty acids, phosphate and sulfate were also identified in this effluent.

Abstract
The heterogeneous Fenton-like process with bimetallic chelated magnetic chitosan aerogel (Cu-Fe@CTS) as catalyst was applied to treat pre-coagulated leachate nanofiltration concentrate. The process conditions were optimized by Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and the maximum UV254 removal reached 96.06% under the conditions of temperature 87.62 °C, oxidant dosage 0.2395 mol/L and catalyst dosage 1 g/L. The TOC concentration was reduced from 847.5 to 99.7 mg/L and COD concentration was reduced from 1625 to 464 mg/L. The three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence analysis showed that most of Fulvic acid-like (FA-like) was removed. The adsorption experiment showed that the catalyst reached the adsorption balanced after 60 min and the corresponding FA adsorption removal reached 14.1%. The addition of Tert-butanol (TBA) reduced the FA removal by 59.4%, indicating that the hydroxyl radicals (OH) was the main active species. Experiments of the OH capture at different pH showed that the Fenton-like system produced more OH at pH of 4, at which the maximum FA removal was 96.61%, while the FA removal still reached 94.26% at pH of 7. The OH capture at different temperature showed that the Fenton-like system produced more OH at 90 °C. KI and TBA shielding experiments showed that OH was produced on the catalyst surface rather than being produced by catalysis of free metal ions in the solution.

Abstract
A simple one-pot method was used to successfully embed manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) nanoparticles on the nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide matrix (NrGO), which was used to activate peroxymonosulfate to treat the landfill leachate nanofiltration concentration (LLNC) with electrochemical enhancement. NrGO-MnFe2O4 and rGO-MnFe2O4 were characterized by various means. This indicates that nitrogen-doped could induce more graphene oxide (GO) spall and reduction to produce more active centers, and was favorable for uniformly loading MnFe2O4 particles. The comparison between electrochemical/peroxymonosulfate/NrGO-MnFe2O4 (EC/PMS/NrGO-MnFe2O4) system and different catalytic systems shows that electrochemical reaction, NrGO and MnFe2O4 can produce synergies, and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate of LLNC can reach 72.89% under the optimal conditions. The three-dimensional (3D-EEM) fluorescence spectrum shows that the system has a strong treatment effect on the macromolecules with intense fluorescence emission in LLNC, such as humic acid, and degrades into substances with weak or no fluorescence characteristics. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) indicates that the complex structure of refractory organic compounds can be simplified, while the simple small molecular organic compounds can be directly mineralized. The mechanism of catalytic degradation of the system was preliminarily discussed by the free radical quenching experiment. Therefore, the EC/PMS/NrGO-MnFe2O4 system has significant application potential in the treatment of refractory wastewater.

Abstract
Chemical synthetic pharmaceutical wastewater has characteristics of high concentration, high toxicity and poor biodegradability, so it is difficult to directly biodegrade. We used acid modified attapulgite (ATP) supported Fe-Mn-Cu polymetallic oxide as catalyst for multi-phase Fenton-like ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation (photo-Fenton) treatment with actual chemical synthetic pharmaceutical wastewater as the treatment object. The results showed that at the initial pH of 2.0, light distance of 20 cm, and catalyst dosage and hydrogen peroxide concentration of 10.0 g/L and 0.5 mol/L respectively, the COD removal rate of wastewater reached 65% and BOD5/COD increased to 0.387 when the reaction lasted for 180 min. The results of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) indicated that Fenton-like reaction with Fe-Mn-Cu@ATP had good catalytic potential and significant synergistic effect, and could remove almost all heterocycle compounds well. 3D-EEM (3D electron microscope) fluorescence spectra showed that the fluorescence intensity decreased significantly during catalytic degradation, and the UV humus-like and fulvic acid were effectively removed. The degradation efficiency of the nanocomposite only decreased by 5.8% after repeated use for 6 cycles. It seems appropriate to use this process as a pre-treatment for actual pharmaceutical wastewater to facilitate further biological treatment.

Abstract
Composite magnetic oxide at cow dung ash, nano-Fe3O4@cow dung ash (nano-Fe3O4@CDA), was used as catalytic material for the degradation of 2, 2'-methylenebis (4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol) (AO 2246) in real biologically pretreated landfill leachate. The Fe3O4@CDA composite exhibited catalytic ozonation activity and allowed material separation and magnetic recovery. The effects of several operating parameters including O3 concentration, catalyst dosage, temperature and scavengers were evaluated in parallel. Over 70% of AO 2246 were removed by the nano-Fe3O4@CDA/O3 system under optimum conditions within 120min reaction time. The EPR, GC-MS and free-radical quenching experiments expatiated the mechanism of this degradation process. It was confirmed that the AO 2246 was degraded efficiently in this catalytic micro-ozonation process, Additionally, GC-MS analysis state clearly that the 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)phenol, 4-(1,5-dihydroxy-2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-enyl)but-3-en-2-one, ethanone, 1-(1,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-, 5-tert-butyl-6-3, 5-diene-2-one, 2-hydroxyhexanoic acid, 2-propenoic acid 1,1-dimethylethyl ester, butanoic acid, 2-methyl-, methyl ester and propanoic acid, 2, 2-dimethyl- were the dominant oxidation products (OPs) during the degradation of the AO 2246. The EPR results showed that the catalytic ozonation over Fe3O4@CDA led to produce more hydroxyl radicals, which were in favor of AO 2246 degradation. The toxicity evolution was also performed through a QSAR analysis calculated by the ECOSAR program which further demonstrated the different responses toward the AO 2246 and its OPs.

Abstract
A novel catalyst of Fe-Mn/AC was prepared and used as a heterogeneous catalyst to activate O3/Na2S2O8 for landfill leachate biochemical effluent treatment. The experimental results indicated that the highest COD (84%) and color (98%) removal was obtained at Fe-Mn/AC dosage 1.2 g/L, O3 concentration 1.2 g/L, Na2S2O8 dosage 6 g/L, initial pH 10, and reaction time 100 min. Three-dimensional and excitation emission matrix (3D-EEM) fluorescence spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) of wastewater samples before and after treatment demonstrated that the leachate biochemical effluent contained a large amount of humic and fulvic acid organic compounds. After treatment with this coupling system, both the pollution level of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and the fluorescence intensity declined. The micro morphology of Fe-Mn/AC was characterized using scanning X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), electron microscope spectra (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. It can be concluded that the microscopic morphology of the catalyst is porous. The main active components are amorphous MnO2 and multivalent iron oxides. Furthermore, the Fe-Mn/AC catalyst showed great reusability; the removal efficiency of COD was only reduced from 84% to 79% at the fourth reaction. Moreover, the COD removal efficiency could recover to 81% after catalyst regeneration.

In this study magnetite (Fe3O4) was augmented over coal flyash and analyzed for the effectiveness as a catalyst in heterogeneous Fenton process for the degradation of persistent organic pollutant present in stabilized landfill leachate. Fe3O4 and flyash augmented Fe3O4 was prepared by simple chemical precipitation method and both had magnetic nature. XRD, FTIR and SEM with EDX characterization were consummated for both catalysts. The Fenton experiments were performed in batch mode and to identify the optimal operating condition for effective COD removal the leachate pH, catalysts and H2O2 dosages were varied. The reusability of the catalysts was studied. To understand the degradation mechanism adsorption study, Fenton oxidation of benzoic acid and scavenging experiments with KI and NaF were performed. It was witnessed that flyash augmented Fe3O4 exhibited 84.7% of COD degradation which was 12.3% of higher removal efficiency than Fe3O4 at optimum pH 3, 0.05 M H2O2 and 1000 mg/L of catalyst dosage in 100 min reaction time. This flyash augmented Fe3O4 showed 68% of TOC removal and good increment in biodegradability. Poor NH3-N removal was observed in the Fenton treatment process. Decrease in aromaticity was found based on SUVA254 value and also indicated the removal of organic matter. Similarly, reusability and stability were higher than Fe3O4. The results indicate that flyash augmented Fe3O4 is a competent catalyst in heterogeneous Fenton process for treatment of mature leachate. The usage of waste material flyash with Fe3O4 decreases the co-aggregation of Fe3O4 and improves the catalytic performance.

CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 243:125283. [PMID: 31760292 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.125283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2019] [Revised: 10/29/2019] [Accepted: 10/30/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
River sediment is the main internal pollution source of water body. This study evaluated the feasibility of electrochemical oxidation (EO) for polluted river sediment treatment. The hydrophilic and acute cytotoxicity (ACT) of dissolved organic matter (DOM) during electrolysis were mainly investigated. Meanwhile, the behavior of sediment evolution was also characterized. The results showed that the EO process was feasible for the treatment of polluted river sediment. The COD removal efficiency of polluted river sediment can achieve to 40.1% when the current density was 50 mA cm-2 with the chloride ion of 3000 mg L-1 and the initial pH of 8.5. The hydrophilicity of sediment DOM decreased with the decreasing molecule weight of humic-like substances, polar groups and the formation of aromatic aldehydes such as benzaldehyde. In this process, The ACT of sediment DOM can be reduced by the removal of aromatic compounds. In the process of electrolysis, the sediment particles were smaller than before, the dehydration was enhanced, and the crystal type tended to be stable, which was conducive to the utilization of resources. Therefore, EO method is a feasible alternative for the treatment of polluted river sediment.

WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2019; 83:23-32. [PMID: 30514468 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2018.10.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2018] [Revised: 10/29/2018] [Accepted: 10/30/2018] [Indexed: 05/28/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the biologically pre-treated leachate was subjected to catalytic micro-ozonation using cow-dung ash composites loaded with Fe3O4 nanoparticles (nano-Fe3O4@CDA) as the catalyst. The optimal conditions used were nano-Fe3O4@CDA dosage of 0.8 g/L, input ozone of 3.0 g/L, and reaction time of 120 min. This environment yielded the following results: The COD and color number (CN) removal reached 53% and 89%, respectively, and the BOD5/COD increased from 0.05 to 0.32. The catalytic micro-ozonation partially degraded the refractory substances into intermediates with lower molecular weight. The percentage of phenolic compounds decreased sharply from 28.08% to 8.56%, largely due to the opening of the ring as well as to the formation of organic intermediates with a low molecular weight. Based on the results culled from the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), it is evident that the nano-Fe3O4@CDA catalyst can accelerate in order to generate OH. This was the main mechanism involved in its excellent ability to degrade refractory pollutants. These results demonstrated the potential use of nano-Fe3O4@CDA as a catalyst in the catalytic micro-ozonation process.
