Abstract
The presence of methylene blue (MB) dye in wastewater has raised concern about human health and environmental ecology due to potential carcinogenic, and mutagenic effects. Therefore, this work aims to remove MB dye from wastewater using γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles synthesized from aluminum scrap via simple electrolytic method. The successful synthesis of the adsorbent was confirmed by a range of spectroscopy and microscopy techniques, including XRD, SEM, FTIR, and BET. The central composite design (CCD) of the response surface methodology (RSM) method was used to optimize the processing parameters such as solution pH, contact time, initial MB concentration, and adsorbent dose. The ANOVA results clearly shows that the quadratic model (p < 0.0001) was sufficient to the best predicting of the removal performance of MB dye (R2 = 0.9862). The optimum condition for the maximum MB dye removal (98.91%) was achieved at solution pH of 8.298, initial MB concentration of 31.657 mg/L, adsorbent dose of 0.387 g/L, and contact time of 46.728 min. Nano-γ-Al2O3 was shown to have a good surface area of 59 mg2/g by BET analysis. The adsorption kinetics follows the pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.997). With a maximum adsorption capacity of 137.17 mg/g, the Langmuir isotherm model (R2 = 984) provides the best fit to the adsorption isotherm data, indicating a monolayer adsorption process. Furthermore, thermodynamic analysis demonstrated that the adsorption of MB dye was an endothermic and spontaneous process. The reusability study showed that γ-Al2O3 nano-adsorbent retained 85.08% of its original removal efficiency after five cycles. According to the findings of the study, MB dye molecules were taken up by γ-Al2O3 nano-adsorbent via hydrogen bond formation, Van der Waals interaction, and electrostatic attraction. Therefore, γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles can be used as a potentially eco-friendly and low-cost adsorbent for the removal of MB dye from aqueous solutions.

A comparative study of response surface methodology and artificial neural network based algorithm genetic for modeling and optimization of EP/US/GAC oxidation process in dexamethasone degradation: Application for real wastewater, electrical energy consumption. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 349:140832. [PMID: 38042425 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
Dexamethasone (DXM) is a broadly used drug, which is frequently identified in the water environments due to its improper disposal and incomplete removal in wastewater treatment plant. The inability of conventional treatment processes of wastewater causes that researchers pay a great attention to study and develop effective wastewater treatment systems. This work deals with the study of integrated electro-peroxone/granular activated carbon (EP/US/GAC) process in the degradation of dexamethasone (DXM) from a water environment and the remediation of real pharmaceutical wastewater. Two approaches of response surface methodology based on central composite design (RSM-CCD) and artificial neural network based on algorithm genetic (ANN-GA) were employed for modeling and optimization of the process. Both the models presented significant adequacy for modeling and prediction of the process according to statistical linear and nonlinear metrics (R2 = 0.9998 and 0.9996 and RMSE = 0.2128 and 0.1784 for ANN-GA and RSM-CCD, respectively). The optimization study provided the same outcomes for both ANN-GA and RSM-CCD approaches, where approximately complete DEX oxidation was achieved at pH = 9.3, operating time = 10 min, US power = 300 W/L, applied current = 470 mA, and electrolyte concentration = 0.05 M. A synergistic study signified that the EP/US/GAC process made an 82% synergy index as compared to the individual US and EP processes. The calculated energy consumption for the integrated process was achieved to be 2.79 kW h/gCOD. Quenching test by tert-butanol and p-benzoquinone revealed that HO• radical possessed the largest contribution in DEX degradation. The efficiency of EP/US/GAC process in the remediation of real pharmaceutical wastewater showed a significant decline in COD content (92% removal after 180 min), and the ratio of initial BOD/COD ratio of 0.27 was elevated up to 0.7 after 100 min treatment time. The performance stability of EP/US/GAC system showed no remarkable drop in removal efficiency, and leakage of lead ions from the anode surface was negligible and below WHO guideline for drinking water. Generally, this research work manifested that the integrated EP/US/GAC system elevated the degradation efficiency and can be proposed as a pretreatment step before biological treatment processes for the remediation of recalcitrant wastewaters.

Abstract
Water pollution and the global energy crisis are two significant challenges that the world is facing today. Ultrasound-assisted synthesis offers a simple, versatile, and green synthetic tool for nanostructured materials that are often unavailable by traditional synthesis. Furthermore, the integration of ultrasound and photocatalysis has recently received considerable interest due to its potential for environmental remediation as a low-cost, efficient, and environmentally friendly technique. The underlying principles and mechanisms of sonophotocatalysis, including enhanced mass transfer, improved catalyst-pollutant interaction, and reactive species production have been discussed. Various organic pollutants as dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and emerging organic pollutants are targeted based on their improved sonophotocatalytic degradation efficiency. Additionally, the important factors affecting sonophotocatalytic processes and the advantages and challenges associated with these processes are discussed. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of sono-assisted synthesis and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and prospects for progress in this field.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 341:122842. [PMID: 37940020 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122842] [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: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
Emerging contaminants are chemicals generated due to the usage of pesticide, endocrine disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products and are liberated into the environment in trace quantities. The emerging contaminants eventually become a greater menace to living beings owing to their wide range and inhibitory action. To diminish these emerging contaminants from the environment, an Advanced Oxidation Process was considered as an efficient option. The Advanced Oxidation Process is an efficient method for mineralizing fractional or generous contaminants due to the generation of reactive species. The primary aim of this review paper is to provide a thorough knowledge on different Advanced Oxidation Process methods and to assess their mineralization efficacy of emerging contaminants. This study indicates the need for an integrated process for enhancing the treatment efficiency and overcoming the drawbacks of the individual Advanced Oxidation Process. Further, its application concerning technical and economic aspects is reviewed. Until now, most of the studies have been based on lab or pilot scale and do not represent the actual scenario of the emerging contaminant mineralization. Thus, the scaling up of the process was discussed, and the major challenges in large scale implementation were pointed out.

[PMID: 38107283 PMCID: PMC10724562 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Textile wastewater (TWW) is one of the most hazardous wastewaters for ecosystems when it is discharged directly into water streams without adequate treatment. Some organic pollutants, such as dyes in TWW, are considered refractory compounds that are difficult to degrade using conventional chemical and biological methods. The bicarbonate-activated peroxide (BAP) system is an advanced oxidation process (AOP) based on applying H2O2, which has been demonstrated to be a clean and efficient technology for dye degradation, with the advantage of operating under slightly alkaline pH conditions. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) based on a central composite design (CCD) was used to optimize the degradation of TWW contaminated with the azo dye Acid Black 194 using the BAP system catalyzed with cobalt ions in solution (Co2+). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique was applied to identify significant variables and their individual and interactive effects on the degradation of TWW. The optimum reagent concentrations for degrading TWW at 25 °C and with 45 μM Co2+ were 787.61 and 183.34 mM for H2O2 and NaHCO3, respectively. Under these conditions, complete decolorization (≥99.40), 32.20 % mineralization, and 52.02 % chemical oxygen demand removal were achieved. Additionally, the acute toxicity of textile wastewater before and after oxidation was evaluated with guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata), showing a total reduction in mortality after treatment with the Co2+-BAP system. The Co2+-BAP oxidation system is a potential method for textile wastewater treatment, which, in addition to achieving complete decolorization and partial mineralization, improves biodegradability and reduces the toxicity of the treated water.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrated the effective degradation of wide-spectrum antibiotic chloramphenicol (CAP) by Fe3O4/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system modified by gallic acid (GA). GA/Fe3O4/PMS showed a substantially higher degradation rate (77.6%) than Fe3O4/PMS (8.3%). The active components were detected by electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR) and the quenching experiments. The results showed that the hydroxyl radical (HO•) was the main reason for the degradation of CAP. In the GA/Fe3O4/PMS system, the trace amount of dissolved iron ion were not the main species that activated PMS. Surface characterization and theoretical simulations showed that Fe atoms on Fe3O4 were responsible for PMS activation rather than a homogenous reaction. Five probable CAP degradation pathways were identified by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and liquid-phase mass spectrometry. Finally, the reusability of Fe3O4 was measured, and the GA/Fe3O4/PMS system maintained high efficiency after 5 times applications. The total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate reached 46.5% after reacting for 12 h. The gallic acid effectively promotes the circulation of Fe(II)/Fe(III) on solid surfaces and enhanced the degradation capacity of the original system. The research proposed a new way of directly employing plant polyphenols to boost the degradation ability of contaminants in heterogeneous systems.

Abstract
Laser process technology provides a feasible method for directly manufacturing surface-metallized carbon fiber composites (CFCs); however, the laser's process parameters strongly influence on the adhesion strength between electroless copper and CFCs. Here, a nanosecond ultraviolet laser was used to fabricate electroless copper on the surface of CFCs. In order to achieve good adhesion strength, four key process parameters, namely, the laser power, scanning line interval, scanning speed, and pulse frequency, were optimized experimentally using response surface methodology, and a central composite design was utilized to design the experiments. An analysis of variance was conducted to evaluate the adequacy and significance of the developed regression model. Also, the effect of the process parameters on the adhesion strength was determined. The numerical analysis indicated that the optimized laser power, scanning line interval, scanning speed, and pulse frequency were 5.5 W, 48.2 μm, 834.0 mm/s, and 69.5 kHz, respectively. A validation test confirmed that the predicted results were consistent with the actual values; thus, the developed mathematical model can adequately predict responses within the limits of the laser process parameters being used.

Abstract
Water is an indispensable natural resource and is the most vital substance for the existence of life on earth. However, due to anthropogenic activities, it is being polluted at an alarming rate which has led to serious concern about water shortage across the world. Moreover, toxic contaminants released into water bodies from various industrial and domestic activities negatively affect aquatic and terrestrial organisms and cause serious diseases such as cancer, renal problems, gastroenteritis, diarrhea, and nausea in humans. Therefore, water treatments that can eliminate toxins are very crucial. Unfortunately, pollution treatment remains a difficulty when four broad considerations are taken into account: effectiveness, reusability, environmental friendliness, and affordability. In this situation, protecting water from contamination or creating affordable remedial techniques has become a serious issue. Although traditional wastewater treatment technologies have existed since antiquity, they are both expensive and inefficient. Nowadays, advanced sustainable technical approaches are being created to replace traditional wastewater treatment processes. The present study reviews the sources, toxicity, and possible remediation techniques of the water contaminants.

Abstract
Due to the complicated transport and reactive behavior of organic contamination in groundwater, the development of mathematical models to aid field remediation planning and implementation attracts increasing attentions. In this study, the approach coupling response surface methodology (RSM), artificial neural networks (ANN), and kinetic models was implemented to model the degradation effects of nano-zero-valent iron (nZVI) activated persulfate (PS) systems on benzene, a common organic pollutant in groundwater. The proposed model was applied to optimize the process parameters in order to help predict the effects of multiple factors on benzene degradation rate. Meanwhile, the chemical oxidation kinetics was developed based on batch experiments under the optimized reaction conditions to predict the temporal degradation of benzene. The results indicated that benzene (0.25 mmol) would be theoretically completely oxidized in 1.45 mM PS with the PS/nZVI molar ratio of 4:1 at pH 3.9°C and 21.9 C. The RSM model predicted well the effects of the four factors on benzene degradation rate (R2 = 0.948), and the ANN with a hidden layer structure of [8-8] performed better compared to the RSM (R2 = 0.980). In addition, the involved benzene degradation systems fit well with the Type-2 and Type-3 pseudo-second order (PSO) kinetic models with R2 > 0.999. It suggested that the proposed statistical and kinetic-based modeling approach is promising support for predicting the chemical oxidation performance of organic contaminants in groundwater under the influence of multiple factors.

Abstract
Sulfate radical (SO4•-)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have become promising alternatives in environmental remediation due to the higher redox potential (2.6-3.1 V) and longer half-life period (30-40 μs) of sulfate radicals compared with many other radicals such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH). The generation and mechanisms of SO4•- and the applications of SO4•--AOPs have been examined extensively, while those using sulfite as activation precursor and their comparisons among various activation precursors have rarely reviewed comprehensively. In this article, the latest progresses in SO4•--AOPs were comprehensively reviewed and commented on. First of all, the generation of SO4•- was summarized via the two activation methods using various oxidant precursors, and the generation mechanisms were also presented, which provides a reference for guiding researchers to better select two precursors. Secondly, the reaction mechanisms of SO4•- were reviewed for organic pollutant degradation, and the reactivity was systematically compared between SO4•- and •OH. Thirdly, methods for SO4•- detection were reviewed which include quantitative and qualitative ones, over which current controversies were discussed. Fourthly, the applications of SO4•--AOPs in various environmental remediation were summarized, and the advantages, challenges, and prospects were also commented. At last, future research needs for SO4•--AOPs were also proposed consequently. This review could lead to better understanding and applications of SO4•--AOPs in environmental remediations.

Abstract
Due to water shortage and increased water pollution, various methods are being explored to improve water quality by treating contaminants. Sonophotocatalysis is a combination of two individual water treatment processes i.e., photocatalysis and sonocatalysis. With advantages including shorter reaction times and enhanced activity, this technique shows possible futuristic applications as an efficient water treatment technology. Herein, background insight on sonophotocalysis as a water and wastewater treatment technique as well as the general mechanism of activity is explained. The commonly used catalysts for sonophotocatalytic applications as well as their synthesis pathways are also briefly discussed. Additionally, the utilisation of sonophotocatalysis for the disinfection of various microbial species as well as treatment of wastewater pollutants including organic (dyes, pharmaceuticals and pesticides) and inorganic species (heavy metals) is deliberated. This review also gives a critical analysis of the efficiency, enhancement strategies as well as challenges and outlooks in this field. It is thus intended to give insight to researchers in the context of facilitating future developments in the field of water treatment, and advancing sonophotocatalysis towards large-scale implementation and commercialization.

Abstract
Sonophotocatalysis is described as a combination of two individual processes of photocatalysis and sonocatalysis. It has proven to be highly promising in degrading dissolved contaminants in wastewaters as well as bacteria disinfection applications. It eliminates some of the main disadvantages observed in each individual technique such as high costs, sluggish activity, and prolonged reaction times. The review has accomplished a critical analysis of sonophotocatalytic reaction mechanisms and the effect of the nanostructured catalyst and process modification techniques on the sonophotocatalytic performance. The synergistic effect between the mentioned processes, reactor design, and the electrical energy consumption has been discussed due to their importance when implementing this novel technology in practical applications, such as real industrial or municipal wastewater treatment plants. The utilization of sonophotocatalysis in disinfection and inactivation of bacteria has also been reviewed. In addition, we further suggest improvements to promote this technology from the lab-scale to large-scale applications. We hope this up-to-date review will advance future research in this field and push this technology toward widespread adoption and commercialization.

Green valorization of end-of-life toner powder to iron oxide-nanographene nanohybrid as a recyclable persulfate activator for degrading emerging micropollutants. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 223:115460. [PMID: 36775090 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The sustainable management of toner waste (T-raw) was performed via carbonization at 500 °C (T-500) and 600 °C (T-600) to produce iron oxide-nanographene nanohybrid (FeO-NG) for activating persulfate (PS) to efficiently degrade dyes (methylene blue, MB), antibiotics (sulfamethazine, SMZ), and pesticides (diazinon, DZN). Morphology, crystallinity, chemical structure, chemical composition, surface area, and pore size distribution of the synthesized materials were investigated using various analyses. High degradation ratios of MB were attained over a wide pH range (2-7), and the optimum operating conditions were determined. The FeO-NG/PS system was tested in different water matrices. MB degradation efficiency dropped from 80.13% to 78.56% after five succeeding experiments, proving the high stability of T-500. Trapping experiments proved the major role of sulfate radicals and the minor contribution of singlet oxygen. The toxicity evaluation of the treated and untreated MB solutions was conducted via measuring the cell viability, showing an increase in cell viability ratio after the degradation of MB. The degradation efficiencies of DZN and SMZ were 97.54% and 83.7%, respectively and the mineralization ratios were 74.08% and 60.37% at initial concentrations of sulfamethazine and diazinon of 50 and 100 mg/L, respectively. The high degradation efficiency of emerging micropollutants as well as the inexpensiveness, and facile synthesis of the catalyst boost the prospect of applying the proposed system on an industrial scale.

Abstract
Hypersaline wastewater is a typical industrial wastewater produced by iron and steel metallurgy, food material processing and other industries. Aiming at a waste liquid produced by mechanical vapour recompression evaporation and concentration in Tianjin coastal industrial zone, an environment-friendly supercritical water oxidation technology was used to efficiently remove the high-content organic matter in the hypersaline wastewater concentrate (HWC). A comparison of the degradation effects of various oxidants in the supercritical state showed that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could be used as a suitable agent for processing the HWC. The reaction parameters were systematically optimised by single-factor experiment and response surface design. The degradation mechanism and reaction characteristics were analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Solid residues were characterised by field emission scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that when the dosage of hydrogen peroxide was 6.39%, the reaction temperature was 380°C, the reaction time was about 90 min and the optimal total organic carbon removal rate was 96.22%. Furthermore, it was found that hydroxyl radicals produced by hydrogen peroxide initiated the bond breaking and ring-opening reactions in organic matter, which eventually degraded organic matter into water and carbon dioxide.

Abstract
The world faces tremendous challenges and environmental crises due to the rising strength of wastewater. The conventional technologies fail to achieve the quality water that can be reused after treatment means "zero effluent" discharge of the industrial effluent. Therefore, now the key challenge is to develop improved technologies which will have no contribution to secondary pollution and at the same time more efficient for the socio-economic growth of the environment. Sustainable technologies are needed for wastewater treatment, reducing footprint by recycling, reusing, and recovering resources. Advanced oxidation process (AOP) is one of the sustainable emerging technologies for treating refractory organic contaminants present in different industrial wastewaters like textile, paper and pulp, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and refineries. This critical review emerges details of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), mentioning all possible permutations and combinations of components like ozone, UV, the catalyst used in the process. Non-conventional AOP systems, microwave, ultrasound, and plasma pulse assisted are the future of the oxidation process. This review aims to enlighten the role of AOPs for the mineralization of refractory organic contaminants (ROC) to readily biodegradable organics that cannot be either possible by conventional treatment. The integrated AOPs can improve the biodegradability of recalcitrant organic compounds and reduce the toxicity of wastewater, making them suitable for further biological treatment.

Abstract
Traditional freshwater supplies have been over-abstracted in the current global problem of water scarcity. Through the analysis of complex experimental and real-time data, to improve the activity of water and wastewater treatment (WWT) systems, an artificial neural network (ANN), a computational model inspired by the human brain, and its variants were created. This review paper focuses on recent trends and advances in modeling and simulating different water and wastewater systems using ANN. This study uses ANN in watershed management, impurity removal from wastewater, and wastewater treatment plants. According to the literature review, ANN can predict nonlinear, linear, and complex systems with high accuracy and well control. Finally, the limitations and future scope of ANNs were discussed. ANN proved itself in the prediction of various water and WWT processes. Still, implementation has practical challenges, which include a lack of data availability, poorly built models, timely updates in developed models, and low repeatability. The use of a proper toolbox, faster computing power, and proper domain knowledge makes the practical implementation of ANN successful. As a result, ANN can build a solid foundation for attracting and motivating investigators to work in this region in the forthcoming.

Abstract
In the present research, the removal of zinc from concentrated galvanic wastewater (pH 3.1, conductivity 20.31 mS/cm, salinity, 10.16 g/L, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) 2900 mg O2/L, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) 985 mg/L, zinc (Zn) 1534 mg/L and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) 70 mg/L) by combination of lime (Ca(OH)2) and sodium trithiocarbonate (Na2CS3) as precipitation agents is studied. Central Composite Design (CCD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were applied for modelling and optimizing the designed wastewater treatment process. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the experimental verification of the model confirmed the consistency of the experimental and estimated data calculated from the model (R2 = 0.9173, R2adj. = 0.8622). The use of Ca(OH)2 and Na2CS3 in the optimal condition calculated from the model (pH = 10.75 ± 0.10, V Na2CS3 dose 0.043 mL/L and time = 5 min) resulted in a decrease in the concentration of Zn in treated wastewater by 99.99%. Other physicochemical parameters of wastewater also improved. Simultaneously, the application of Ca(OH)2 and Na2CS3 reduced the inhibition of activated sludge dehydrogenase from total inhibition (for raw wastewater) to -70% (for treated wastewater). Under the same conditions the phytotoxicity tests revealed that the seed germination index for the raw and treated wastewater increased from 10% to 50% and from 90% to 100% for white mustard (Sinapis alba) and garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.), respectively. The parameters of root and shoot growth showed a statistically significant improvement. Treated wastewater (1:10) showed a stimulating effect (shoot growth) compared to the control sample (GI = -116.7 and -57.9 for S. alba and L. sativum L., respectively). Thus, the use of Na2CS3 is a viable option for the treatment of concentrated galvanic wastewater containing zinc.

Abstract
In this work, the effective adsorption and the subsequent photodegradation activity, of TiO2 brookite nanoparticles, for the removal of anionic dyes, namely, Alizarin Red S (ARS) and Bromocresol Green (BCG) were studied. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of both dyes' concentration, contact time, and temperature. Photodegradation experiments for the adsorbed dyes were achieved using ultraviolet light illumination (6 W, λ = 365 nm). The single adsorption isotherms were fitted to the Sips model. The binary adsorption isotherms were fitted using the Extended-Sips model. The results of adsorption isotherms showed that the estimated maximum adsorption uptakes in the binary system were around 140 mg g-1 and 45.5 mg g-1 for ARS and BCG, respectively. In terms of adsorption kinetics, the uptake toward ARS was faster than BCG molecules in which the equilibrium was obtained in 7 min for ARS, while it took 180 min for BCG. Moreover, the thermodynamics results showed that the adsorption process was spontaneous for both anionic dyes. All these macroscopic competitive adsorption results indicate high selectivity toward ARS molecules in the presence of BCG molecules. Additionally, the TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully regenerated using UV irradiation. Moreover, molecular dynamics computational modeling was performed to understand the molecules' optimum coordination, TiO2 geometry, adsorption selectivity, and binary solution adsorption energies. The simulation energies distribution exhibits lower adsorption energies for ARS in the range from - 628 to - 1046 [Formula: see text] for both single and binary systems. In addition to that, the water adsorption energy was found to be between - 42 and - 209 [Formula: see text].

Abstract
This work investigated the performance of the integrated system (i.e., a Photocatalytic reactor followed by a Fixed bed bioreactor (PC-FBR)) for the degradation of complex Acid Blue 113 from wastewater. Initially, a Photocatalytic reactor was employed to improve the biodegradability index (i.e., BOD/COD) of wastewater from 0.21 ± 0.0062 to 0.395 ± 0.0058. The preliminary photocatalytic oxidation study revealed a maximum of 86.42 ± 0.33 % dye removal at TiO2 loading of 1.5 g/L and an initial concentration of 50 mg/L of AB 113. An integrated reactor system significantly achieved a maximum of 92 ± 2.6 % of dye removal efficiency under a retention time of 120 hr. The stand-alone FBR dye shock loading study suggested that the reactor system was reasonably able to further restore its degradation efficiency. Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model, Monod model, and Andrew-Haldane model were fitted. The bacterial toxicity assessment was carried out using the Pseudomonas fluorescens.

Catalytic efficiency of raw and hydrolyzed eggshell in the oxidation of crystal violet and dye bathing wastewater by thermally activated peroxide oxidation method.

[PMID: 35398079 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
In this study, hydrochar-based-eggshell was prepared via the subcritical water medium (SCWM) and used as a catalyst in the thermally activated peroxide oxidation (TAPO) approach for crystal violet and dye bathing wastewater degradation. The catalytic activities for the raw eggshell (RES) and hydrochar-based-eggshell (HES) were compared. RES and HES were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM),energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The affecting parameters on the degradation process were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of temperature (293-333 K), amount of catalyst (5-25 mg/50 mL), the concentration of H2O2 (0-8 mM), and treatment time (10-70 min) on the TAPO method were investigated using central composite design (CCD). For the crystal violet removal, two models were developed. Both models were significant and can be used to describe the design space. Also, the dye bathing wastewater degradation was described by another developed model, which had a high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.97). In general, catalytic activity for HES was higher than RES. The degradation of crystal violet reached 98.10% when a 20 mg HES catalyst and 6 mM H2O2 at 323 K for 55 min were used. While 97% of the color of dye bathing wastewater was removed in 55 min at 323 K using 25 mg of HES and 4 mM H2O2. This study showed that the hydrolyzed eggshells could be used in the oxidation of crystal violet and dye bathing wastewater by the thermally activated peroxide oxidation method.

Abstract
Distillery wastewater has high biological and chemical oxygen demand and requires additional treatment before it can be safely discharged into receiving water. It is usually processed through a biomethanation digester and the end product is the post-methanated distillery effluent (PMDE). Research have shown that PMDE released by molasses-based distilleries is a hazardous effluent that can cause harm to the biota and the environment; it contains elevated amount of total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS) and excess levels of persistent organic compounds (POPs), heavy metals, phenolic compounds, and salts. The practice of wastewater reuse for irrigation in many water scarce countries necessitates the proper treatment of PMDE before it is discharged into receiving water. Convention methods have been in practice for decades, but innovative technologies are needed to enhance the efficiency of PMDE treatment. Advance physical treatment such as membrane separation technology using graphene, ion-exchange and ultrafiltration membranes; chemical treatment such as advanced oxidation methods, electrocoagulation and photocatalytic technologies; biological treatment such as microbial and enzymatic treatment; and hybrid treatment such as microbial-fuel cell (MFC), genetically modified organisms (GMO) and constructed wetland technologies, are promising new methods to improve the quality of PMDE. This review provides insight into current accomplishments evaluates their suitability and discusses future developments in the detoxification of PMDE. The consolidated knowledge will help to develop a better management for the safe disposal and the reuse of PMDE wastewater.

Abstract
Sulfate-based advanced oxidation process mediated by zero-valent iron (ZVI) and ultraviolet radiation for the decomposition of sulfite salts resulted in the formation of strong oxidizing species (sulfate and hydroxide radicals) in aqueous solution is reported. Degradation of direct red 89 (DR89) dye via UV/ZVI/sulfite process was systematically investigated to evaluate the effect of pH, ZVI dose, sulfite, initial DR89 concentration, and reaction time on DR89 degradation. The synergy factor of UV/ZVI/sulfite process was found to be 2.23-times higher than the individual processes including ZVI, sulfite and UV. By increasing the ZVI dose from 100 mg/L to 300 mg/L, dye degradation was linearly enhanced from 67.12 ± 3.36% to 82.40 ± 4.12% by the UV/ZVI/sulfite process due to enhanced ZVI corrosion and sulfite activation. The highest degradation efficiency of 99.61 ± 0.02% was observed at pH of 5.0, [ZVI]0 = 300 mg/L, and [sulfite]0 = 400 mg/L. Toxicity assessment by Lepidium sativum demonstrated that treated dye solution by UV/ZVI/sulfite was within the non-toxic range. The application of optimal adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to predict DR89 degradation indicated high accuracy of ANFIS model (R2 = 0.97 and RMSE = 0.051) via the UV/ZVI/sulfite process. It is suggested that UV/ZVI/sulfite process is suitable for industrial wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this work, the response surface methodology (RSM) was used to model and optimize the hydroxylamine (HA) enhanced Fe(II)/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) process. The enhanced effect of HA on the degradation efficiency of Orange II (AO7) in the Fe(II)/PMS system was quantitatively analyzed. Pareto analysis showed that the individual and interactive effects of HA, Fe(II) and PMS were of the following order: HA > Fe(II) > PMS and Fe(II)/PMS > HA/PMS > Fe(II)/HA. The optimal conditions of HA/Fe(II)/PMS system were as follows: Fe(II) concentration was 34.0 μM, HA concentration was 0.4 mM, and PMS concentration was 0.9 mM. When the initial pH was 4.0-6.0, the degradation efficiency of AO7 in the HA/Fe(II)/PMS system was significantly higher than that in the Fe(II)/PMS system (P < 0.05). Hydroxylamine enhances the degradation of AO7 in the Fe(II)/PMS system by reducing Fe(III) to Fe(II). The results of quenching experiment showed that SO4•- was the dominating reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the HA/Fe(II)/PMS system. In the HA/Fe(II)/PMS system, CO32- and humic acid inhibited the degradation efficiency of AO7. This work provides a novel mathematical model for the degradation of AO7 in the HA/Fe(II)/PMS system, which can be popularized and applied in similar experiments.

Abstract
With increasingly serious environmental pollution and the production of various wastewater, water pollutants have posed a serious threat to human health and the ecological environment. The advanced oxidation process (AOP), represented by the persulfate (PS) oxidation process, has attracted increasing attention because of its economic, practical, safety and stability characteristics, opening up new ideas in the fields of wastewater treatment and environmental protection. However, PS does not easily react with organic pollutants and usually needs to be activated to produce oxidizing active substances such as sulfate radicals (SO4-) and hydroxyl radicals (OH) to degrade them. This paper summarizes the research progress of PS activation methods in the field of wastewater treatment, such as physical activation (e.g., thermal, ultrasonic, hydrodynamic cavitation, electromagnetic radiation activation and discharge plasma), chemical activation (e.g., alkaline, electrochemistry and catalyst) and the combination of the different methods, putting forward the advantages, disadvantages and influencing factors of various activation methods, discussing the possible activation mechanisms, and pointing out future development directions.

Abstract
The key designing of new breeds of the adsorbents aimed to improve the physical, chemical and textural morphology along with surface functionalization, selectivity toward the contaminants, and regenerations efficiency. In this aspect, two adsorbents named wet oxidative and ultrasonicated zirconium impregnated composite, have been synthesized through two routes, i.e., wet oxidation and ultrasonication. In wet oxidation method, carbon-based materials are oxidized using an oxidant followed by impregnation, while in ultrasonication assisted route, the impregnation is carried out using acoustic phenomenon. The characterization study revealed that the wet oxidation process is more competent in impregnating zirconium and developing diverse porosity and functionalities. The maximum adsorption capacity of wet oxidative adsorbent was 812 mg/g for Reactive Blue 19 and 203.18 mg/g for Methylene Blue, that accentuated the efficiency of the adsorbent over raw activated carbon. The electrostatic interaction, hydrogen-bonding and ligand exchange phenomenon are the involved adsorption mechanism for dyes. The regeneration study finally asserts that the wet oxidative adsorbent shows an insignificant decrease in its capacity up to the 5th-cycle (i.e., 87.67% removal at 5th cycle) as compared to raw AC (46.71% removal at 5th cycle). Further, a continuous fixed-bed column study revealed a significant correlation between experimental breakthrough data and kinetic data. Thus, the developed adsorbent has a sedulous adsorption capacity to remove the most stubborn toxic dyes and can be used in industrial-scale applications.

Abstract
In this study, copper-nickel ferrite (CuNiFe2O4) nanoparticles were successfully loaded onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by using the coprecipitation method and used as new catalysts (MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4) in the sonophotocatalytic degradation process of the acid blue 113 (AB113) dye. The success of the MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4 synthesis and its properties were determined by analyzing it using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A high efficiency of dye removal (100%), total organic carbon (93%), and chemical oxygen demand (95%) were achieved with the following conditions: pH of dye solution = 5, MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4 dosage = 0.6 g/L, AB113 dye concentration = 50 mg/L, UV light intensity = 36 W, ultrasonic wave frequency = 35 kHz, and treatment time = 30 min. The kinetic results revealed that the efficiency of the sonophotocatalytic process using MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4 was higher than that of the sonolysis, photolysis, photocatalysis, and sonocatalysis processes. Scavenging studies demonstrated that the holes (h+) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) were the main reactive species for the AB113 dye degradation. The stability and recyclability of MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4 were confirmed with eight consecutive cycles for a maximum efficiency of more than 92%. The high rate of BOD5/COD indicated that the sonophotocatalytic process had the potential to degrade the dye into degradable compounds. The toxicity study with an Escherichia coli growth inhibition rate emphasized that MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4 in the sonophotocatalytic degradation process of the AB113 dye had a significant effect on reducing toxicity, when compared to processes of photolysis and photocatalysis. During the sonophotocatalytic process using MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4, the AB113 dye was mineralized into CO2, H2O, NH4+, NO3-, and SO42-. The results of the present study proved that the MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4-based sonophotocatalytic process was a promising dye degradation technology to protect the aquatic environment.

Abstract
We developed a computational-based model for simulating adsorption capacity of a novel layered double hydroxide (LDH) and metal organic framework (MOF) nanocomposite in separation of ions including Pb(II) and Cd(II) from aqueous solutions. The simulated adsorbent was a composite of UiO-66-(Zr)-(COOH)2 MOF grown onto the surface of functionalized Ni50-Co50-LDH sheets. This novel adsorbent showed high surface area for adsorption capacity, and was chosen to develop the model for study of ions removal using this adsorbent. A number of measured data was collected and used in the simulations via the artificial intelligence technique. Artificial neural network (ANN) technique was used for simulation of the data in which ion type and initial concentration of the ions in the feed was selected as the input variables to the neural network. The neural network was trained using the input data for simulation of the adsorption capacity. Two hidden layers with activation functions in form of linear and non-linear were designed for the construction of artificial neural network. The model's training and validation revealed high accuracy with statistical parameters of R2 equal to 0.99 for the fitting data. The trained ANN modeling showed that increasing the initial content of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions led to a significant increment in the adsorption capacity (Qe) and Cd(II) had higher adsorption due to its strong interaction with the adsorbent surface. The neural model indicated superior predictive capability in simulation of the obtained data for removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) from an aqueous solution.

Abstract
Removing decolorizing acid blue 113 (AB113) dye from textile wastewater is challenging due to its high stability and resistance to removal. In this study, we used an artificial neural network (ANN) model to estimate the effect of five different variables on AB113 dye removal in the sonophotocatalytic process. The five variables considered were reaction time (5-25 min), pH (3-11), ZnO dosage (0.2-1.0 g/L), ultrasonic power (100-300 W/L), and persulphate dosage (0.2-3 mmol/L). The most effective model had a 5-7-1 architecture, with an average deviation of 0.44 and R2 of 0.99. A sensitivity analysis was used to analyze the impact of different process variables on removal efficiency and to identify the most effective variable settings for maximum dye removal. Then, an imaginary sonophotocatalytic system was created to measure the quantitative impact of other process parameters on AB113 dye removal. The optimum process parameters for maximum AB 113 removal were identified as 6.2 pH, 25 min reaction time, 300 W/L ultrasonic power, 1.0 g/L ZnO dosage, and 2.54 mmol/L persulfate dosage. The model created was able to identify trends in dye removal and can contribute to future experiments.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 303:113897. [PMID: 34883303 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.113897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/03/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The regulatory control on dyes is an important issue, as their discharge into the environment can pose significant risks to human health. MIL-101(Fe) prepared by a solvothermal method was used as a catalyst to generate sulfate (SO4•-) and hydroxyl (HO•) radicals from peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the treatment of orange G (OG). The structural properties of MIL-101(Fe) were assessed by a number of characterization approaches (e.g., Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy). The factors controlling the removal of OG were explored by a response surface methodology with central composite design (RSM-CCD) plus adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The synthetized MIL-101(Fe) had uniform octahedral nanocrystals with rough surfaces and porous structures. The maximum catalytic removal efficiency of OG with MIL-101(Fe)/PMS process was 74% (the final concentration of Fe2+ as 0.19 mg/L and reaction rate of 434.2 μmol/g/h). The catalytic removal of OG could be defined by the non-linear kinetic models based on RSM. The OG removal efficiency declined noticeably with the addition of radical scavengers such as ethanol (EtOH) and tert-butanol (TBA) along with some mineral anions. Accordingly, MIL-101(Fe)/PMS is identified as an effective remediation option for the dyes based on advanced oxidation process (AOPs) based on high treatment efficiency at low dosage of low cost catalyst.

Abstract
Tartrazine degradation was investigated by electrochemical and sonochemical oxidation processes. Anodic oxidation was carried out using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes. The influence of current density and dye initial concentration on the removal of tartrazine from water was analyzed. The experimental results indicate that total removal of tartrazine was obtained, and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) removals of up to 94.4% and 72.8% were achieved, respectively. To optimize the process, the pollutant removal percentage, the kinetic rate constant, and the TOC removal efficiency were chosen as target variables. Moreover, sonochemical oxidation experiments at a high-frequency range of cavitation (up to 1 MHz) were performed to establish the influence of three different operating variables, namely ultrasound frequency (0.5-1.1 MHz), ultrasound power (2.0-26.6 W ⋅L-1), and pulse-stop ratio (5:1-1:1). The process was also analyzed in terms of kinetics and energy costs. The kinetics resulted to be three times faster for the electrochemical process. However, the calculated energy costs were very similar, at least at long treatment times. Finally, the influence of three aqueous matrices was investigated. According to the experimental results, the natural occurrence of chloride and/or nitrate ions in water strongly conditions the rate of the process, although at least 90% of tartrazine removal was achieved within the first 50 min of treatment.

Abstract
Significant advances in various industrial processes have resulted in the discharge of toxic pollutants into the environment. Consequently, it is essential to develop efficient wastewater treatment processes to reduce water contamination and increase recycling/reuse. Photocatalytic degradation is considered as an efficient method for the degradation of toxic pollutants in industrial wastewater. However, the use of photocatalytic approaches is associated with numerous limitations, such as lengthy procedures and the necessity for large amounts of catalysts. Hence, it has been proposed that photocatalysis could be combined with other techniques, including sonolysis, electrochemical, photothermal, microwave, ultrafiltration, and biological reactor. The integration of photocatalysis with sonolysis could be remarkably beneficial for environmental remediation. The combination of these processes has the advantages of using uniformly dispersed catalysts, regeneration of the catalyst surface, improved mass transfer, enhanced surface area due to smaller catalyst particles, and production of more active radicals for the degradation of organic pollutants. In this review, an overview on employing sonophotocatalysis for the removal of toxic organic contaminants from aqueous environments is provided. Additionally, the limitations of photocatalysis alone and the fundamental sonophotocatalytic mechanistic pathways are discussed. The importance of utilizing advanced two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor materials in sonophotocatalysis and the common synthetic approaches for the preparation of 2D materials are also highlighted. Lastly, the review provides comprehensive insights into different materials based on metal oxides, chalcogenides, graphene, and metal organic frameworks (MOFs), which are involved in sonophotocatalytic processes employed for the remediation of environmental pollutants.

Process modeling of municipal solid waste compost ash for reactive red 198 dye adsorption from wastewater using data driven approaches. Sci Rep 2021; 11:11613. [PMID: 34078966 PMCID: PMC8172897 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-90914-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
In the present study, reactive red 198 (RR198) dye removal from aqueous solutions by adsorption using municipal solid waste (MSW) compost ash was investigated in batch mode. SEM, XRF, XRD, and BET/BJH analyses were used to characterize MSW compost ash. CNHS and organic matter content analyses showed a low percentage of carbon and organic matter to be incorporated in MSW compost ash. The design of adsorption experiments was performed by Box-Behnken design (BBD), and process variables were modeled and optimized using Box-Behnken design-response surface methodology (BBD-RSM) and genetic algorithm-artificial neural network (GA-ANN). BBD-RSM approach disclosed that a quadratic polynomial model fitted well to the experimental data (F-value = 94.596 and R2 = 0.9436), and ANN suggested a three-layer model with test-R2 = 0.9832, the structure of 4-8-1, and learning algorithm type of Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation. The same optimization results were suggested by BBD-RSM and GA-ANN approaches so that the optimum conditions for RR198 absorption was observed at pH = 3, operating time = 80 min, RR198 = 20 mg L-1 and MSW compost ash dosage = 2 g L-1. The adsorption behavior was appropriately described by Freundlich isotherm, pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Further, the data were found to be better described with the nonlinear when compared to the linear form of these equations. Also, the thermodynamic study revealed the spontaneous and exothermic nature of the adsorption process. In relation to the reuse, a 12.1% reduction in the adsorption efficiency was seen after five successive cycles. The present study showed that MSW compost ash as an economical, reusable, and efficient adsorbent would be desirable for application in the adsorption process to dye wastewater treatment, and both BBD-RSM and GA-ANN approaches are highly potential methods in adsorption modeling and optimization study of the adsorption process. The present work also provides preliminary information, which is helpful for developing the adsorption process on an industrial scale.

Abstract
Discharge of untreated textile wastewaters loaded with dyes is not only contaminating the soil and water resources but also posing a threat to the health and socioeconomic life of the people. Hence, there is a need to devise the strategies for effective treatment of such wastewaters. The present study reports the catalytic potential of biogenic ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesized by using a bacterial strain Pseudochrobactrum sp. C5 for degradation of dyes and wastewater treatment. The catalytic potential of the biogenic ZnO NPs for degradation of dyes and wastewater treatment was also compared with that of the chemically synthesized ones. The characterization of the biogenic ZnO NPs through FT-IR, XRD, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) indicated that these are granular agglomerated particles having a size range of 90-110 nm and zeta potential of -27.41 mV. These catalytic NPs had resulted into almost complete (> 90%) decolorization of various dyes including the methanol blue and reactive black 5. These NPs also resulted into a significant reduction in COD, TDS, EC, pH, and color of two real wastewaters spiked with reactive black 5 and reactive red 120. The findings of this study suggest that the biosynthesized ZnO NPs might serve as a potential green solution for treatment of dye-loaded textile wastewaters.

Abstract
The present study investigates the efficiency of a three-dimensional electro-peroxone (3D/E-peroxone) reactor filled with TiO2-GAC in removing diuron from aqueous solution and in the remediation of real pesticide wastewater. The behavior of the system in terms of the effect of independent variables on diuron was investigated and optimized by RSM-CCD and ANN-GA methods. Both approaches proved to have a very good performance in the modeling of the process and determined the optimum condition of the independent variables as follows: initial pH = 10, applied current = 500 mA, supporting electrolyte = 0.07 M, ozone concentration = 10 mg L-1, and reaction time = 10 min. The 3D/E-peroxone process achieved a synergistic effect in diuron abatement and reduced significantly energy consumption, as compared to its individual components. H2O2 concentration generated in the electrolysis system was notably increased in the presence of TiO2-GAC microparticles. The BOD5/COD ratio of the real pesticide wastewater increased from 0.049 to 0.571 within 90 min treatment. Giving to the considerable enhancement of the biodegradability of the wastewater, this study strongly suggests that the 3D/E-peroxone process can be considered as a promising pretreatment step before a biological treatment process to produce intermediates which are more easily degradable by microorganisms.

Abstract
In this study, a heterogeneous activator was prepared via the Fe/Mn modification of sludge-derived biochar (Fe/MnBC) to achieve high-efficiency activation of persulfate (PS) for reactive blue 19 (RB19) degradation. The morphologies and chemical states of Fe/MnBC were examined by various characterizations. A comprehensive assessment was conducted to reveal the effects of biochar preparation conditions and system reaction conditions. According to the results of scavenger quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) testing, the mechanisms of Fe/MnBC combined PS system on RB19 degradation were proposed, including radical and non-radical mechanisms. The formation and involvement of sulfate radical (SO4·-), hydroxyl radical (OH·), and singlet oxygen (1O2) were proved in this system, and Fe(IV)/Mn(VII) was also speculated to participate in the non-radical degradation process. These findings give a new insight into the mechanisms of PS activated by metal-biochar composite. Besides, fixed-bed reactor (FBR) experiments indicated that the Fe/MnBC has considerable PS activation potential for dyes removal. The degradation process was further modeled by the central composite design (CCD-RSM) and artificial neural networks (ANN) methods. The statistical metrics and prediction indicated that the prediction results of ANN model were better than CCD-RSM model, and the ANN model could perfectly predict the reaction process of Fe/MnBC FBR for engineering applications.

Abstract
In this study, a combined alkaline (ALK) and ultrasonication (ULS) sludge lysis-cryptic pretreatment and anoxic/oxic (AO) system (AO + ALK/ULS) was developed to enhance biological nitrogen removal (BNR) in domestic wastewater with a low carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio. A real-time control strategy for the AO + ALK/ULS system was designed to optimize the sludge lysate return ratio (RSLR) under variable sludge concentrations and variations in the influent C/N (⩽ 5). A multi-layered backpropagation artificial neural network (BPANN) model with network topology of 1 input layer, 3 hidden layers, and 1 output layer, using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, was developed and validated. Experimental and predicted data showed significant concurrence, verified with a high regression coefficient (R2 = 0.9513) and accuracy of the BPANN. The BPANN model effectively captured the complex nonlinear relationships between the related input variables and effluent output in the combined lysis-cryptic + BNR system. The model could be used to support the real-time dynamic response and process optimization control to treat low C/N domestic wastewater.

Abstract
The paper presents the results of studies on the modeling and optimization of organic pollutant removal from an aqueous solution in the course of simultaneous adsorption onto activated carbons with varied physical characteristics and oxidation using H2O2. The methodology for determining the models used for predicting the sorption and catalytic parameters in the process was presented. The analysis of the influence of the sorption and catalytic parameters of activated carbons as well as the oxidizer dose on the removal dynamics of organic dyes-phenol red and crystal violet-was carried out based on the designated empirical models. The obtained results confirm the influence of specific surface area (S) of the activated carbon and oxidizer dose on the values of the reaction rate constants related to the removal of pollutants from the solution in a simultaneous process. It was observed that the lower the specific surface area of carbon (S), the greater the influence of the oxidizer on the removal of pollutants from the solution. The proposed model, used for optimization of parameters in a simultaneous process, enables to analyze the effect of selected sorbents as well as the type and dose of the applied oxidizer on the pollutant removal efficiency. The practical application of models will enable to optimize the selection of a sorbent and oxidizer used simultaneously for a given group of pollutants and thus reduce the process costs.
