Decontamination of wastewater containing contaminants of emerging concern by electrooxidation and Fenton-based processes - A review on the relevance of materials and methods. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:135763. [PMID: 35952792 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increasingly growing interest regarding the use of electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) which are considered highly promising alternative treatment techniques for addressing environmental issues related to pollutants of emerging concern. In EAOPs, electrogenerated oxidizing agents, such as hydroxyl radical (HO•), can react non-selectively with a wide range of organic compounds, degrading and mineralizing their structures to unharmful molecules like CO2, H2O, and inorganic ions. To this date, a broad spectrum of advanced electrocatalysts have been developed and applied for the treatment of compounds of interest in different matrices, specifically aiming at enhancing the degradation performance. New combined methods have also been employed as alternative treatment techniques targeted at circumventing the major obstacles encountered in Fenton-based processes, such as high costs and energy consumption, which still contribute significantly toward inhibiting the large-scale application of these processes. First, some fundamental aspects of EAOPs will be presented. Further, we will provide an overview of electrode materials which have been recently developed and reported in the literature, highlighting different anode and cathode structures employed in EAOPs, their main advantages and disadvantages, as well as their contribution to the performance of the treatment processes. The influence of operating parameters, such as initial concentrations, pH effect, temperature, supporting electrolyte, and radiation source, on the treatment processes were also studied. Finally, hybrid techniques which have been reported in the literature and critically assess the most recent techniques used for evaluating the degradation efficiency of the treatment processes.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an efficient oxidant with multiple uses ranging from chemical synthesis to wastewater treatment. The in-situ H2O2 production via a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) will bring H2O2 beyond its current applications. The development of carbon materials offers the hope for obtaining inexpensive and high-performance alternatives to substitute noble-metal catalysts in order to provide a full and comprehensive picture of the current state of the art treatments and inspire new research in this area. Herein, the most up-to-date findings in theoretical predictions, synthetic methodologies, and experimental investigations of carbon-based catalysts are systematically summarized. Various electrode fabrication and modification methods were also introduced and compared, along with our original research on the air-breathing cathode and three-phase interface theory inside a porous electrode. In addition, our current understanding of the challenges, future directions, and suggestions on the carbon-based catalyst designs and electrode fabrication are highlighted.

Abstract
Shifting electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) via two-electron pathway becomes increasingly crucial as an alternative/green method for hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) generation. Here, the development of 2e- ORR catalysts in recent years is reviewed, in aspects of reaction mechanism exploration, types of high-performance catalysts, factors to influence catalytic performance, and potential applications of 2e- ORR. Based on the previous theoretical and experimental studies, the underlying 2e- ORR catalytic mechanism is firstly unveiled, in aspect of reaction pathway, thermodynamic free energy diagram, limiting potential, and volcano plots. Then, various types of efficient catalysts for producing H2 O2 via 2e- ORR pathway are summarized. Additionally, the catalytic active sites and factors to influence catalysts' performance, such as electronic structure, carbon defect, functional groups (O, N, B, S, F etc.), synergistic effect, and others (pH, pore structure, steric hindrance effect, etc.) are discussed. The H2 O2 electrogeneration via 2e- ORR also has various potential applications in wastewater treatment, disinfection, organics degradation, and energy storage. Finally, potential future directions and prospects in 2e- ORR catalysts for electrochemically producing H2 O2 are examined. These insights may help develop highly active/selective 2e- ORR catalysts and shape the potential application of this electrochemical H2 O2 producing method.

Abstract
The electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an attractive alternative to the present complex anthraquinone process. The objective of this paper is to provide a state-of-the-arts review of the most important aspects of this process. First, recent advances in H2O2 production are reviewed and the advantages of H2O2 electrogeneration via 2-electron ORR are highlighted. Second, the selectivity of the ORR pathway towards H2O2 formation as well as the development process of H2O2 production are presented. The cathode characteristics are the decisive factors of H2O2 production. Thus the focus is shifted to the introduction of commonly used carbon cathodes and their modification methods, including the introduction of other active carbon materials, hetero-atoms doping (i.e., O, N, F, B, and P) and decoration with metal oxides. Cathode stability is evaluated due to its significance for long-term application. Effects of various operational parameters, such as electrode potential/current density, supporting electrolyte, electrolyte pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and current mode on H2O2 production are then discussed. Additionally, the environmental application of electrogenerated H2O2 on aqueous and gaseous contaminants removal, including dyes, pesticides, herbicides, phenolic compounds, drugs, VOCs, SO2, NO, and Hg0, are described. Finally, a brief conclusion about the recent progress achieved in H2O2 electrogeneration via 2-electron ORR and an outlook on future research challenges are proposed.

Abstract
A reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) cathode modified by anodic polarization in 20 wt% H2SO4 solution was used for drinking water disinfection under a neutral low electrolyte concentration (0.25 g/L Na2SO4) condition. The contribution of the modified RVC anode and the Ti/RuO2 cathode to disinfection was investigated. The influences of current, initial Escherichia coli load, temperature and water volume were studied. The results show that H2O2 generation increased to approximately three times using the modification of the RVC. E. coli was mainly deactivated by the H2O2 generated at the cathode. For water with about 106 CFU/mL E. coli, the detection limit (<4 CFU/mL) was reached under different conditions. Increasing current could simultaneously shorten the treatment time and increase the energy consumption (EC) simultaneously. Although decreasing the initial load reduced the treatment time, the EC for per log E. coli removal increased. The time required for disinfection shortened from 3.5 to 2.5 h and the EC for per log removal decreased from 218.5 to 123.2 Wh/m3 when the temperature increased from 20 to 40 °C. Although more time was required for disinfection, the EC decreased from 218.5 to 141.4 Wh/m3 when the volume was doubled.

Abstract
Synthesis of most tin-based bimetallic nanoparticles is a challenging task because of the differences in the redox potential and the melting point between both components. This article presents a co-reduction synthesis of monoclinic Ni3Sn4 nanoparticles. Varying time and temperature gives the possibility to control the size of the nanoparticles in the range of 4-12 nm. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements. Although the synthesis was conducted entirely oxygen free, the postsynthetic treatment undertaken under air leads to the formation of an amorphous oxide shell. The oxide shell consists of an outer tin-rich region and a nickel-rich region at the interface to the metallic Ni3Sn4 core. On the basis of the investigation of the particles at different stages of the synthesis, we propose a growth mechanism for the Ni3Sn4 nanocrystals. These results can be a guidepost for the synthesis of other tin-based bimetallic nanoparticles.

Abstract
Electrochemical 2-electrons oxygen reduction process has been regarded as the effective strategy for H2O2 generation in wastewater treatment. However, its large-scale application is still limited by the relatively high cost of the carbon materials and short-term stability. In this study, a nitric acid modified graphite/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite cathode with exterior hydrophobic film was fabricated for cost-effective electrogeneration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Experimental results show that 2 M HNO3 modification rendered the introduction of much more defect sites and oxygen/nitrogen-containing groups on graphite. As a result, H2O2 electrogeneration was 3.0 times as much as that of virgin graphite counterpart at 3 mA cm-2. Moreover, the additional introduction of exterior hydrophobic film on the as-prepared graphite/PTFE cathode did not only further promote H2O2 electrogeneration, but also endowed the cathode with strong hydrophobic stability. As for the modified cathode with exterior hydrophobic film, the influence of mass graphite/PTFE binder ratio (1:1-4:1) and pH (3.0-9.0) on H2O2 electrogeneration was slight, but the current density (3.0-15 mA cm-2) had evident effect on H2O2 electrogeneration. Generally, owing to its low price and being easily available, the modified graphite would be cost-effectively utilized to prepare the gas diffusion cathode for the large-scale electrogeneration of H2O2 in industry.

Abstract
A novel metal foam-based Fenton-like process for wastewater treatment is illustrated in this study. In the system, H2O2 was generated in situ by taking advantage of O2 in air, as metal could activate dissolved O2 to produce •O2- and then generate H2O2. Furthermore, metal foam can enhance the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycling, which eventually improved the efficiency of the Fenton process. The performance of the novel Fenton-like process was assessed by methyl blue (MB), and 94% MB removal could be achieved within 5 min in nickel (Ni) foam system. The degradation of MB in this study was based on both •OH and •O2- radicals, where •O2- radical served as the precursor to generate •OH for MB degradation through a Fenton process. The pH value of 3 with the initial Fe2+ concentration of 0.25 mM was found to be the optimum condition for the Fenton-like process. This study provides a general and new strategy for efficient wastewater treatment just using aeration and metal foams (such as Ni, Al, and Cu foams), which also offers a good alternative for rational design and application of traditional Fenton process.
