Abstract
The principle of Fenton reagent is to produce ·OH by mixing H2O2 and Fe2+ to realize the oxidation of organic pollutants, although Fenton reagent has the advantages of non-toxicity and short reaction time, but there are its related defects. The Fenton-like technology has been widely studied because of its various forms and better results than the traditional Fenton technology in terms of pollutant degradation efficiency. This paper reviews the electro-Fenton technology among the Fenton-like technologies and provides an overview of the homogeneous electro-Fenton. It also focuses on summarizing the effects of factors such as H2O2, reactant concentration, reactor volume and electrode quality, reaction time and voltage (potential) on the efficiency of electro-Fenton process. It is shown that appropriate enhancement of H2O2 concentration, voltage (potential) and reaction volume can help to improve the process efficiency; the process efficiency also can be improved by increasing the reaction time and electrode quality. Feeding modes of H2O2 have different effects on process efficiency. Finally, a considerable number of experimental studies have shown that the combination of electro-Fenton with ultrasound, anodic oxidation and electrocoagulation technologies is superior to the single electro-Fenton process in terms of pollutant degradation.

Antibiotic Degradation via Fenton Process Assisted by a 3-Electron Oxygen Reduction Reaction Pathway Catalyzed by Bio-Carbon-Manganese Composites. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:1112.

Abstract
Bio-carbon-manganese composites obtained from olive mill wastewater were successfully prepared using manganese acetate as the manganese source and olive wastewater as the carbon precursor. The samples were characterized chemically and texturally by N2 and CO2 adsorption at 77 K and 273 K, respectively, by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical characterization was carried out by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The samples were evaluated in the electro-Fenton degradation of tetracycline in a typical three-electrode system under natural conditions of pH and temperature (6.5 and 25 °C). The results show that the catalysts have a high catalytic power capable of degrading tetracycline (about 70%) by a three-electron oxygen reduction pathway in which hydroxyl radicals are generated in situ, thus eliminating the need for two catalysts (ORR and Fenton).

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical production via catalytic activation of HOCl is a new type of Fenton-like process. However, metal-chlorocomplex formation under high chloride conditions could deactivate the catalyst and reduce the process efficiency. Herein, in situ electrogenerated HOCl was activated to •OH via a metal-free, B/N-codoped carbon nanofiber cathode for the first time to degrade contaminant under high chloride condition. The results show 98% degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) within 120 min (k = 0.036 min-1) under sulfate conditions, while complete degradation (k = 0.188 min-1) was obtained in only 30 min under chloride conditions. An enhanced degradation mechanism consists of an Adsorb & Shuttle process, wherein adsorption concentrates the pollutants at the cathode surface and they are subsequently oxidized by the large amount of •OH produced via activation of HOCl and H2O2 at the cathode. Density functional theory calculations verify the pyridinic N as the active site for the activation of HOCl and H2O2. The process efficiency was also evaluated by treating tetracycline and bisphenol A as well as high chloride-containing real secondary effluents from a pesticide manufacturing plant. High yields of •OH and HOCl allow continuous regeneration of the cathode for several cycles, limiting its fast deactivation, which is promising for real application.

Abstract
A novel particle combined electrode named TiO2/g-C3N4@AC (TGCN-AC) was prepared by loading TiO2 and g-C3N4 on activated carbon through gel method, which was used to degrade levofloxacin (LEF) in pharmaceutical wastewater by photoelectric process. The remarkable physicochemical features of particle electrodes were verified by using diverse characterization techniques including SEM-EDS, XRD, FT-IR, BET and pHZPC. EIS-CV and photocurrent showed excellent electrocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis performance of particle electrodes. The photocatalytic characteristics and fluorescence properties of the particle electrode were proved by UV-vis DRS and PL spectra measurements. Combined with Tauc's plot and Mott-Schottky plots curves, the ECB and EVB of particle electrodes were determined. The experiments on different influence factors such as pH, ultrasonic, aeration, current density and the concentration of LEF were carried out in the photoelectric reactor. Under the conditions of pH values 3.0, 200 W ultrasonic, 8 L/min aeration, the mass ratio of g-C3N4 and TiO2 is 8%, after 4.0 h of photoelectric process, about 94.76% of LEF (20 mg/L) in water was degraded. TGCN-AC also has excellent reusability. The degradation rate of LEF can still reach 71.17% after repeated use for 6 times. Scavenger studies showed that h+ and O2- were the main active species. By observing the colony size of E. coli, it was proved that the LEF in the effluent had no antibacterial activity. The degradation pathways of LEF was analyzed and drawn by HPLC-MS spectra.

Abstract
The activity and selectivity of the cathode towards electrosynthesis of H2O2 are critical for electro-Fenton process. Herein, nickel-foam modified with N, O co-doped graphite nanosheets (NO-GNSs/Ni-F) was developed as a cathode for highly efficient and selective electrosynthesis of H2O2. Expectedly, the accumulation of H2O2 at pH= 3 reached 494.2 mg L-1 h-1, with the selectivity toward H2O2 generation reaching 93.0%. The synergistic effect of different oxygen-containing functional groups and N species on the performance and selectivity of H2O2 electrosynthesis was investigated by density functional theory calculations, and the combination of epoxy and graphitic N (EP + N) was identified as the most favorable configuration with the lowest theoretical overpotential for H2O2 generation. Moreover, NO-GNSs/Ni-F was applied in the electro-Fenton process for p-nitrophenol degradation, resulting in 100% removal within 15 min with the kinetic rate constant of 0.446 min-1 and 97.6% mineralization within 6 h. The efficient removal was mainly attributed to the generation of bulk ·OH. Furthermore, NO-GNSs/Ni-F exhibited excellent stability. This work provides a workable option for the enhancement of H2O2 accumulation and the efficient degradation of pollutants in electro-Fenton system.

Abstract
Recently, carbon nanotubes coated carbon black and polytetrafluoroethylene (CNTs-C/PTFE) gas diffusion electrode was used as an air-cathode in an electro-oxidation (EO) system for effectively generating hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through a 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This ORR-EO system not only lowered applied voltage and conserved energy, but the synergistic peroxone (O3/H2O2) reaction could increase hydroxyl radicals (•OH) generation for organics elimination. However, a significant proportion of H2O2 was left in the effluent of ORR-EO, which was a loss of resources and energy. In this study, a Fenton-like reaction for in-situ H2O2 decomposition to generate active oxidation species was inserted by introducing MnO2 into the cathodic catalyst layer, and the sole MnO2/CNTs-C/PTFE air-cathode could accomplish 90% of phenol degradation. When MnO2/CNTs-C/PTFE air-cathode combined with Ti/NATO anode in an ORR-EO system, all anodic oxidation, Fenton-like reaction, and peroxone took place to successfully generate •OH and singlet oxygen (1O2). Over 95% of TOC in phenol and landfill leachate bio-effluent was effectively eliminated, with 20% energy savings compared to the ORR-EO with CNTs-C/PTFE air cathode.

Abstract
In this work, flower-like molybdenum disulfide was constructed on the surface of ZIF-8-derived nitrogen-doped dodecahedral carbon (ZNC) for the electrocatalytic degradation of phenol. The flower-like nanostructure of MoS2@ZNC contributed to the exposure of more edge-active sites of MoS2. At the same time, Mo4+ and Mo6+ co-existed in MoS2@ZNC, which promoted the generation of H2O2 and •OH, and improved the catalytic activity of composite materials. In addition, electrochemical performance analysis showed that MoS2 loaded on the surface of ZNC significantly improved the redox capacity of the material, and the composite ratio of MoS2 and ZNC affected the structure and properties of MoS2@ZNC composites. Moreover, the electrochemical performance of prepared MoS2@ZNC was evaluated by the generation of hydroxyl (•OH) and the degradation efficiency of phenol. The results showed that MoS2@ZNC-2 had an excellent phenol degradation efficiency (98.8%) and COD removal efficiency (86.8%) within 120 min. Furthermore, MoS2@ZNC cathode still maintained good performance after being experimented with 20 times, indicated the excellent stability of MoS2@ZNC.

Abstract
Electro-peroxone (EP) reaction has been considered as a promising process for real effluent treatments. However, the use of the technology in natural water conditions is limited by low electrical conductivity and high operating costs. Herein, a novel electrochemical system was designed to overcome this constrain by coupling EP with a solid polymer electrolyte (EP-SPE). Performances of EP-SPE system were thoroughly evaluated by comparing the decomposition and energy efficiencies of various plasticizers in different systems. The EP-SPE system achieved 50% of pollutants mineralization in only 10 min with the electrolysis energy consumption of 1.0kWh·m-3, While the conventional EP system (not) adding salt compounds (CEP-(N) AS) need 30 (60) min to reach 50% of pollutants mineralization with 3.8(26.6)kWh·m-3. Kinetics and mechanisms of EP-SPE were investigated in detail, while electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) detection and kinetic model revealed the occurrence, transient concentration and degradation contribution of reactive oxidizing species (ROS). Furthermore, tests of variety of SPEs and natural waters demonstrated universal applicability of EP-SPE. Additionally, EP-SPE did not show any performance deterioration after 15 runs. Therefore, this work provides a feasible technology for plasticizer purification in natural water.

Abstract
To improve H2O2 generation and Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle simultaneously for enhancing Electro-Fenton performance, the electrode aeration (EA) and hydroxylamine sulfate (HA) were coupled. With dimethyl phthalate (DMP) as main target contaminant, combination of HA and EA greatly accelerated the degradation of DMP and exhibited a synergy in the pH of 2.0-6.9 through promoting the key reactions, including electrochemical two-electron reduction of O2 into H2O2 and redox cycles of Fe3+/Fe2+, which then improved the generation of hydroxyl radicals (·OH). The coupling EA and HA reduced the use of HA and converted most of HA into environment-friendly N2 (60.1-62.1% of HA products), while HA/solution aeration(SA) system consumed HA rapidly and the generated N2 only accounted for 5.8-6.7% of HA products. Furthermore, compared with HA/SA and EA Electro-Fenton systems, enhancement degree of DMP degradation in HA/EA Electro-Fenton process was higher in actual waterbody than in ultrapure water. The coupling EA and HA in the Electro-Fenton process could solve the low Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle efficiency and low H2O2 production simultaneously, and improve the N2 selectivity of HA transformation, which advanced its application in practical environmental remediation.

Abstract
A novel and efficient Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2-GO-Ce electrode was successfully fabricated based on the co-deposition of Ce ions and graphene oxide (GO) into β-PbO2 crystals and used as an anode for electrocatalytic oxidation of phenol. The electrodeposition mechanism, parameter optimization, mechanism analysis, and potential degradation pathways were discussed in depth. The co-doping of GO and Ce resulted in the high directional specificity of β(301), orderly and dense grain arrangement of PbO2 crystals. At the same time, the oxygen evolution potential, •OH generation capacity and lifetime were also improved. The effects of experimental parameters on phenol removal efficiency were evaluated, including the applied current density, electrode gap, supporting electrolyte, initial NaCl concentration, initial pH, and initial phenol concentration. Under the optimal conditions, the removal efficiency of phenol can reach 375.6 g m-2 h-1 for 20 min electrolysis, which is about 1.2 times that of the pure PbO2 electrode. The active oxygen species (•OH, ClO- and HClO) were important attributes to the degradation of phenol. Additionally, a potential degradation pathway for phenol was proposed. After 10 successive recycles, there was no significant difference of the electro-generated •OH, cell voltage and phenol removal rate, which confirms the stability and admirable reusability of Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2-GO-Ce electrode.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 793:148492. [PMID: 34174611 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.148492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2021] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/12/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
In this paper, nanoscale Cu2O particles was successfully anchored at defect sites of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which doped on three-dimensional copper foam (CF) electrode (Cu2O@CNTs/CF). The compound as cathode was synthesized via dip-coating and rapid electrodeposition followed by annealing procedure, and conducted in heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) system. The Cu2O@CNTs/CF composites electrode enabled activate O2 to generate H2O2 in situ and further Cu0/Cu2O synergistic catalysis to produce reactive oxygen species for a broad pH-range via the heterogeneous EF process. Cu0 on the surface of CF also contributed to the reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+, thereby enhancing the stability of the electrode. The effects of critical parameters such as precursor-ligand dosage, the initial pH value, initial pollutant concentration and current density on the degradation of the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) were investigated. The as-obtained electrode performed both effective catalytic activity and good reusability. Almost 100% removal rate was reached within 75 min over a broad pH range (3 to 11) during the heterogeneous EF process, with the current density of 12 mA cm-2 and the removal efficiency of SMX decreased by only 9.0% after 8 recycle runs. Furthermore, quenching experiments indicated that hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were main species responsible for the SMX oxidation. In addition, the possible degradation pathways of SMX were proposed, which were based on nine identified intermediates. The comprehensive work is elucidated to accelerate the development of the in-situ production of H2O2 during the heterogeneous EF system and provide new insights to achieve high-efficiency degradation of pollutants via copper-based catalytic materials.

Abstract
The petroleum industry is one of the most rapidly developing industries and is projected to grow faster in the coming years. The recent environmental activities and global requirements for cleaner methods are pushing the petroleum refining industries for the use of green techniques and industrial wastewater treatment. Petroleum industry wastewater contains a broad diversity of contaminants such as petroleum hydrocarbons, oil and grease, phenol, ammonia, sulfides, and other organic composites, etc. All of these compounds within discharged water from the petroleum industry exist in an extremely complicated form, which is unsafe for the environment. Conventional treatment systems treating refinery wastewater have shown major drawbacks including low efficiency, high capital and operating cost, and sensitivity to low biodegradability and toxicity. The advanced oxidation process (AOP) method is one of the methods applied for petroleum refinery wastewater treatment. The objective of this work is to review the current application of AOP technologies in the treatment of petroleum industry wastewater. The petroleum wastewater treatment using AOP methods includes Fenton and photo-Fenton, H2O2/UV, photocatalysis, ozonation, and biological processes. This review reports that the treatment efficiencies strongly depend on the chosen AOP type, the physical and chemical properties of target contaminants, and the operating conditions. It is reported that other mechanisms, as well as hydroxyl radical oxidation, might occur throughout the AOP treatment and donate to the decrease in target contaminants. Mainly, the recent advances in the AOP treatment of petroleum wastewater are discussed. Moreover, the review identifies scientific literature on knowledge gaps, and future research ways are provided to assess the effects of these technologies in the treatment of petroleum wastewater.

Abstract
After reaction with permanganate or ferrate, the resulted Mn-loaded and Fe-loaded biochar (MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar) exhibited excellent catalytic ozonation activity. O3 (2.5 mg/L) eliminated 48% of atrazine (ATZ, 5 μM) within 30 min at pH 7.0, while under identical conditions, ozonation efficiency of ATZ increased to 83% and 100% in MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar (20 mg/L) heterogeneous catalytic systems, respectively. Radical scavenger experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis confirmed that hydroxyl radical (•OH) was the dominant oxidant. Total Lewis acid sites on MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar were 3.5 and 4.1 times of that on the raw biochar, which induced enhanced adsorption of O3 and its subsequent decomposition into •OH. Electron transfer via redox pairs on MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar was observed by cyclic voltammetry scans, which also functioned in the improved catalytic capacity. Degradation pathways of ATZ in MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar ozonation systems were proposed, with 34.6% and 44.8% of dechlorination effect accomplished within 30 min of reaction, which was improved by 4.1 and 5.3 times compared to pure ozonation. After 12-hour treatment, acute toxicity of ATZ oxidation products was reduced from 38.3% of pure ozonation system to 14.5% and 6.3% of activated ozonation systems with MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar, respectively. Mn-loaded biochar and Fe-loaded biochar have great potential for heterogeneous catalytic ozonation of polluted water.

Abstract
The occurrence and removal of ten bisphenol analogues (BPs) in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and laboratory scale activated sludge bioreactor (ASBR) were studied. All targeted BPs except for tetrachlorobisphenol A (TCBPA) were detected in the four WWTPs (W1, W2, W3 and W4) in the ng/L and ng/g dry weight range in wastewater and activated sludge, respectively, indicating that in addition to BPA, the BPA substitutes were widely used in our daily life and industrial production. Discrepant results regarding the removal efficiencies of BPs by different wastewater treatment processes were obtained. The removal rates were 55.6%, 24.4%, -10.1%, 71.4%, 38.9%, 58.0%, 39.1% and 6.4% in W1, 65.4%, 32.8%, 44.7, -13.5%, 20.1%, -29.6%, -25.1% and 99.4% in W2, 11.6%, 48.8%, 38.9%, 22.0%, 99.0%, -29.2%, -56.5% and 32.6% in W3, 33.9%, 30.5%, 17.4%, -47.6%, 62.9%, 83.0%, 4.4% and -4.3% in W4, for BPA, BPB, BPE, BPF, BPS, BPZ, BPAF and BPAP, respectively. The removal of ten targeted BPs in lab-scale continuous flow conventional ASBR and the key factors were investigated. The simulated laboratory-scale ASBR were highly effective in removing BPA, BPB, BPE, BPF, BPM and BPS with removal efficiencies of >94.3%, while BPZ, BPAP, BPAF and TCBPA were recalcitrant to elimination in the stimulated bioreactor with removal efficiencies of 71.3 ± 13.7%, 55.1 ± 21.2%, 47.4 ± 9.5% and 45.3 ± 16.6%, respectively. Protonation, hydrophobicity and molecular features of BPs were critical for their elimination in wastewater.

Abstract
In this study, the CNTs were successfully compounded in PbO2 electrode through composite electrodeposition technology to obtain multi-layer CNT-PbO2 electrode. Scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy were comprehensively used to characterize the lead dioxide electrode and the electrochemical performance were also tested by cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Results showed that CNT-PbO2 significantly improved the electrochemical performance, which was attributed to that the compound of CNTs in PbO2 improved the active sites on the surface, with higher oxidation peaks, smaller particle size, larger specific surface area, and lower charge transfer resistance. In the degradation experiment, the chemical oxygen demand removal efficiency of isoniazid by CNT-PbO2 electrode were 1.37 times of that by pure PbO2 electrode. The main influence factors on the degradation of ISN, such as initial ISN concentration, Na2SO4 concentration, current density and initial pH value was analyzed in detail. Considered comprehensively the effects of ISN removal efficiency, COD and average current efficiency, the degradation of ISN and COD reached 99.4% and 86.8%, respectively, after the electrode was degraded by electrochemical oxidation for 120 min under the best conditions. In addition, the degradation mechanism of ISN in electrochemical oxidation was studied. According to the intermediate products detected by GC-MS, the possible degradation pathway of ISN in electrochemical oxidation system were proposed.

Abstract
A novel Electro-Fenton process characterized by aeration from inside a graphite felt electrode with enhanced generation of H2O2 and cycle of Fe3+/Fe2+ was proposed. The new type of Electro-Fenton process was used to degrade organic pollutants via graphite felt electrode aeration (GF-EA). The H2O2 concentration by GF-EA could reach 152-169 mg/L in a wide pH range (3-10), which was much higher than that achieved by graphite felt using solution aeration (GF-SA, 37-113 mg/L). For the degradation of nitrobenzene (NB), benzoic acid (BA), bisphenol A (BPA), and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) at pH 5.5, the percentage degradation by GF-EA could reach 55%, 56%, 80%, and 60% higher than those obtained by GF-SA, respectively. The solution TOC removal by GF-EA were enhanced by 29-51% relative to GF-SA. Mechanism analysis showed both OH and ferryl species were involved in the reaction system, and the amounts of OH and dissolved iron species in GF-EA group were 7.7 times and 4-8 times higher than those in GF-SA group, respectively. Besides, the mass transfer rate of GF-EA system was 5.4 times higher than that of GF-SA system. High amounts of H2O2, dissolved iron species and OH were attributed to the enhanced mass transfer of O2 and the solution.

Abstract
Recently, a novel proof-of-concept oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) based electro-oxidation (EO) process has been developed, which was accomplished by integrating anodic electrochemical oxidation coupled with an in situ electro-peroxone process, by harnessing the anodic by-product O3 reacted with ORR cathode generated H2O2. To further enhance EO coupled in situ electro-peroxone, a nickel and antimony doped tin oxide anodic catalyst layer, namely NATO, was fabricated on Ti mesh to improve anodic oxidation and reinforce the generation of O3, thus promoting in situ Electro-peroxone. As a result, O3 generation rate was enhanced by 12.6%. Complete phenol, as a model organic compound, and 95% of TOC removal were achieved, respectively, during ORR-EO. Through kinetics and instrument analysis, results show that the amount of intermediates accumulated during phenol degradation was much less in this Ti/NATO based ORR-EO system than in a traditional EO system. Moreover, 35.7% of the energy consumption was saved for ORR-EO, owing to its reduced applied voltage and the enhanced in situ electro-peroxone process.

Abstract
Tea leaves have been explored as an economically viable and environmentally friendly source of biomass carbon. Tea leaf porous carbon (TPC) with a three-dimensional (3D) structure was prepared by a potassium hydroxide pretreatment and high-temperature calcination method, and the preparation process was simple and self-templating. The prepared TPC has a large specific surface area (1620.05 m2 g-1), three-dimensional multilayer pore structure, uniform pore size, and high oxygen content (15.51%). Both the calcination temperature and the activation level have an effect on the structure and performance of the TPC. The TPC electrode can generate a large amount of hydrogen peroxide in the initial stage of the degradation process, thereby increasing the amount of hydroxyl radicals generated and removing organic pollutants. Therefore, phenol was used to test the degradation effects and evaluate the degradation performance of TPC. Under suitable degradation conditions, TPC-800-2 showed a 95.41% degradation rate after 120 min of degradation, which is superior to that of other calcination temperatures and activation levels. The removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand after 180 min was 90.0% and showed good stability after being used 20 times. Our work illustrates that a simple, high-performance self-templating synthetic strategy for producing novel 3D-TPC from biomass sources can play a significant role in the actual wastewater treatment of other biomass materials.

Abstract
A polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) that contains a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polymer matrix and 1-octanol (OCT) as specific carrier (PO-PIM) was prepared to investigate the mass transfer behaviour of phenol in aqueous solutions. Results showed that the mass transfer behaviour of the PO-PIM for phenol conformed to the first-order kinetics. In addition, the mass transfer efficiency for phenol reached the maximum when the OCT content was 82.8 wt%. The mass transfer activation energy (Ea) was 14.46 kJ mol-1, which indicated that intramembranous diffusion was the main controlling factor in the mass transfer process. The introduction of hydrophobic additives, such as kerosene, liquid paraffin and vegetable oil, into the PO-PIM could remarkably improve its stability. In an aqueous solutions of phenol ranging from 0 mg L-1 to 9000 mg L-1, the initial flux (J0) of kerosene/PVC/OCT-PIM (KPO-PIM) was positively correlated with the initial concentration of phenol. For a stripping solution with a feed solution pH of 2.0 and a sodium hydroxide concentration of 0.1 mol L-1, the maximum permeability coefficient during stable mass transfer reached 12.55 μm s-1. At a mass transfer area of 3.14 cm2, an enrichment factor (EF) of 3.5 for 200 mg L-1 of phenolic aqueous solution was achieved within 48 h through KPO-PIM.

Abstract
In this study, coal tar wastewater was treated by electrochemical oxidation technology using lead dioxide anodes. The influence of operating parameters, including applied current density, electrode gap and initial pH value, on the removal ratio of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was investigated. The results demonstrated that the COD removal ratio reached 90.5% after 3.5 h electrolysis with the current density at 3 A dm-2 and electrode gap at 1.0 cm. Correspondingly, the COD decreased from 5,125 mg L-1 to 487 mg L-1, which fitted the wastewater discharge standards of China, and the specific energy consumption (SECCOD) was 35.3 kWh kgCOD -1. Not only was the COD removal ratio only 77.1% after 2 h electrolysis but the BOD5/COD ratio of the wastewater reached 0.44, which could be biochemically treated, and the SECCOD decreased by 34.3%. Moreover, the main composition of pristine wastewater before and after 2 h electrolysis was analyzed by GC-MS, and the disappearance of macromolecules (such as ethyl-2-pyrenemethanol) and the production of small molecules (such as propane-1,3-diol) could improve the biodegradability of the wastewater. Therefore, electrochemical oxidation for 2 h is a promising alternative for pretreatment of coal tar wastewater prior to biological treatment.

Preparation of Biomass Activated Carbon Supported Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron (Nzvi) and Its Application in Decolorization of Methyl Orange from Aqueous Solution. WATER 2019.

Abstract
The nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has great potential to degrade organic polluted wastewater. In this study, the nZVI particles were obtained by the pulse electrodeposition and were loaded on the biomass activated carbon (BC) for synthesizing the composite material of BC-nZVI. The composite material was characterized by SEM-EDS and XRD and was also used for the decolorization of methyl orange (MO) test. The results showed that the 97.94% removal percentage demonstrated its promise in the remediation of dye wastewater for 60 min. The rate of MO matched well with the pseudo-second-order model, and the rate-limiting step may be a chemical sorption between the MO and BC-nZVI. The removal percentage of MO can be effectively improved with higher temperature, larger BC-nZVI dosage, and lower initial concentration of MO at the pH of 7 condition.

Abstract
Efficient anode materials with porous structures have drawn increasing attention due to their high specific surface area, which can compensate for the slow reaction rate of electrochemical oxidation. However, the use of these materials is often limited due to their poor corrosion resistance. Herein, we report a facile scale-up method, by carbothermal reduction, for the preparation of porous niobium carbide to be used as an anode for the electrochemical oxidation of phenol in water. No niobium ions were detected when the anodes were under aggressive attack by sulfuric acid and under electrochemical corrosion tests with a current density less than 20.98 mA cm−2. The porous niobium carbide was further modified by applying a ruthenium oxide coating to improve its catalytic activity. The removal rates of phenol and chemical oxygen demand by the RuO2/NbC anode reached 1.87 × 10−2 mg min−1 cm−2 and 6.33 × 10−2 mg min−1 cm−2, respectively. The average current efficiency was 85.2%. Thus, an anti-corrosion, highly catalytically active and energy-efficient porous RuO2/NbC anode for the degradation of aqueous phenol in wastewater was successfully prepared. Efficient anode materials with porous structures have drawn increasing attention due to their high specific surface area, which can compensate for the slow reaction rate of electrochemical oxidation.![]()

Comparative study on ferrate oxidation of BPS and BPAF: Kinetics, reaction mechanism, and the improvement on their biodegradability. WATER RESEARCH 2019; 148:115-125. [PMID: 30359941 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2018.10.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2018] [Revised: 09/12/2018] [Accepted: 10/05/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol AF (BPAF) were increasingly consumed and these compounds are resistant to environmental degradation. Herein, ferrate oxidation of BPS and BPAF was investigated, and biodegradability of the oxidation products was examined. The second-order reaction rate constants of ferrate with BPS and BPAF were 1.3 × 103 M-1s-1 and 3 × 102 M-1s-1, respectively, at pH 7.0, 25 °C. In the oxidation process, some BPS molecules dimerized, while other BPS molecules were oxidized through oxygen-transfer process, leading to the formation of hydroxylation products and benzene-ring cleavage products. The dominant reaction of BPAF with ferrate was oxygen-transfer process, and BPAF was degraded into lower molecular weight products. The variation of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) suggested that the biodegradability of BPAF and BPS was largely improved after ferrate oxidation. Compared with the BPS oxidation products, the BPAF oxidation products were easier to be bio-consumed. Pure culture test showed that BPAF inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli, while ferrate oxidation completely eliminated this toxic effect. Co-existing humic acid (HA, 1 mg C/L to 5 mg C/L) decreased the removal of BPS and BPAF with ferrate. Compared with BPAF, more oxidation intermediates formed in the ferrate oxidation of BPS may be reduced by HA to the parent molecular. Thus, the inhibition effect of HA on the ferrate oxidation of BPS was more obvious than that on BPAF.
