Synergistically enhanced heterogeneous activation of dissolved oxygen for aqueous carbamazepine degradation over S(III) coupled with siderite.

Abstract
The wide occurrence of emerging contaminants (ECs) was drawing more attention due to the potential hazard and threat on human and environment. Carbamazepine (CBZ) is a widely prescribed medication that has garnered considerable research interest with the exposures exceeding the environmental carrying capacity. We have established the innovative heterogeneous advanced oxidation process (AOPs) based on the activated dissolved oxygen (DO) coupled with S(III) and natural iron ore (siderite). In S(III)/O2/siderite system, we investigated the degradation efficiency, reactive species generation mechanism, and degradation pathway of CBZ. CBZ degradation and mineralization rate were 90% above and ∼15% with the reaction time of 40 minutes. The degradation of CBZ conformed to a pseudo-first-order kinetic model, with an activation energy determination of 76.36 kJ/mol. The optimal initial solution pH was the weak acid condition (pH = 4-6) for CBZ degradation. Moreover, the inhibition effects of coexisting substance including Cl-, HCO3-, and natural organic matter (NOM) on CBZ removal were observed, while the coexisted SO42- exhibited no significant influence. In addition, the reactive species generated in S(III)/O2/siderite system were predominantly identified as sulfate radical (SO4∙-) and hydroxyl radical (∙OH). The crucial intermediate complexes, Fe(III)S(IV)O3(+) and Fe(II)HS(IV)O3(+), was proposed to form in the initial stages of the reaction, which upon decomposition, yielded SO4∙- along with other reactive species. The degradation pathway of CBZ primarily involved deamination, oxidative ring-opening, hydroxylation, decarboxylation, and ketone degradation processes. This work provides the effective approach for the CBZ degradation with the mild reaction conditions and the sustainable technology for ECs treatment and control.

Simultaneous removal of groundwater manganese and ammonia nitrogen based on high-flux gravity driven ceramic membrane (HF-GDCM) coupled with aerated fluidized birnessite. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 363:125046. [PMID: 39357551 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.125046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2024] [Revised: 09/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/29/2024] [Indexed: 10/04/2024]
Abstract
High concentrations of manganese ion (Mn2+) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) in groundwater are indicative of a critical environmental issue that necessitates immediate attention. The gravity-driven ceramic membrane (GDCM) technology has shown great potential for groundwater treatment in rural communities, owing to its low energy demand and user-friendly operation. Active manganese oxide (MnOx) is extensively used for the concurrent removal of Mn2+ and NH3-N, leveraging its large specific surface area and abundant adsorption sites. Our research group has developed a GDCM-MnOx coupled system to address this challenge. However, membrane fouling, manifested as a reduction in flux or an increase in transmembrane pressure, has been a significant barrier to its widespread adoption. To address this challenge, we have implemented a continuous aeration system in conjunction with GDCM to fluidize birnessite to achieve the higher membrane flux, which has also proven effective in mitigating fouling while maintaining high water purification performance. Over a period of 100 days or more, the high membrane flux in the high-flux GDCM system (HF-GDCM) enhanced with aerated fluidized birnessite has been consistently maintained at approximately 34 L/(m2·h) at a water head of 1 m. Moreover, the HF-GDCM system efficiently removed manganese and NH3-N from groundwater under a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of less than 2.5 h, while also improving membrane permeability. The involvement of manganese oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) and ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) of Hypomicrobium and Nocardioides in the removal processes within the HF-GDCM system was confirmed. Additionally, XPS analysis confirmed the predominant oxidation state of MnOx to be Mn(III). The MnOx, deposited on powdered activated carbon (PAC) particles in a flower-like configuration, progressively formed a birnessite-like functional layer as the manganese ion content increased over time. Consequently, the HF-GDCM coupled with aerated fluidized birnessite is deemed suitable for water purification in small-scale rural or reservoir settings.

Abstract
In our work, a gravity-driven ceramic membrane bioreactor (GDCMBR) was developed to remove Mn2+ and NH3-N simultaneously through the birnessite water purification layer in-situ construction on the ceramic membrane due to chemical pre-oxidation (powdered activated carbon (PAC)-MnOx). Considering the trade-off of biofouling and water production, the daily intermittent short-term vertical aeration mode was involving to balance this contradiction with the excellent water purification and improved membrane permeability. And the GDCMBR permeability of operation flux was improved for 5-7 LHM with intermittent short-term vertical aeration. Furthermore, only ∼7 % irreversible membrane resistance (Rir) also confirmed the improved membrane permeability with intermittent short-term vertical aeration. And some manganese oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) and ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) species at genus level were identified during long-term operation with the contact circulating flowing raw water, resulting in the better Mn2+ and NH3-N removal efficiency. Additionally, the nano-flower-like birnessite water purification layer was verified in ceramsite@PAC-MnOx coupled GDCMBR, which evolute into a porous flake-like structure with the increasing intermittent short-term aeration duration. Therefore, the sustainable and effective intermittent short-term aeration mode in ceramsite@PAC-MnOx coupled GDCMBR could improve the membrane permeability with the satisfactory groundwater purification efficiency, as well as providing an energy-efficient strategy for membrane technologies applications in water supply safety.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:119081.

Abstract
The development of polymeric-composites Agx%DP25-PET (x = 0,1,2,3) may significantly boost the potential application of Agx%DP25 (x = 0,1,2,3) photocatalytic powders. Producing large-scale nano-composites with hybrid-surfaces, that are also flexible materials and easy to employ in a variety of environments. A set of photocatalytic nan-composites embedded with the polymeric binder poly (acrylonitrile-co-butadiene)-dicarboxy terminated (C7H9N) were performed and evaluated for wastewater treatment applications. The results reveal that the flexible polymeric composites (Agx%DP25-PET, x = 0,1,2,3) have photocatalytic activity in aqua media to degrade methylene blue (MB) under visible-light. The addition of C7H9N to immobilize photocatalytic powders on the PET surface reduces photo-generated electron-hole recombination. The materials were characterized by HR-TEM, SEM/EDX, XRD, FT-IR, UV-Vis DRS and PL. The Agx%DP25-PET (x = 0,1,2,3) photocatalytic reactions exhibited productive discoloration/degradation rates, in both aerobic (AE) and anaerobic (AN) environments. The superior photodegradation of Ag2%DP25-PET was attributed to a combination of two effects: LSPR (localized surface plasmon resonance) and Ag-TiO2/environment affinities. The findings of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and Fukui Function (FF) based on density functional theory (DFT) provide significant insight into the photocatalytic requirements for MB discoloration/degradation. The experimental/theoretical analysis aimed to offer an in-depth understanding of medium/surface interactions on decorated TiO2 materials, as well as how these interactions affect overall degradation behavior.

Abstract
This study presents a facile preparation and durable amorphous Fe and Al-based MOF nanoplate (AlFe-BTC MOFs) catalyst with notable stability in Fenton reactions. Rigorous characterization using XRD, HR-TEM, and BET confirms the amorphous nature of the synthesized AlFe-BTC MOFs, revealing mesopores (3.4 nm diameter), a substantial surface area (232 m2/g), and a pore volume of 0.69 cc/g. XPS analysis delineates distinct Al2p and Fe2p binding energy values, signifying specific chemical bonding. FE-SEM elemental mapping elucidates the distinctive distribution of Fe and Al within the framework of AlFe-BTC MOFs. In catalytic activity testing, the amorphous AlFe-BTC MOFs exhibited outstanding performance, achieving complete degradation of Methylene blue (MB) dye and 78% TOC removal over 45 min of treatment under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst's durability was assessed, revealing about 75% TOC removal and complete dye decomposition over five successive recycles, with less than 1 mg/L of Fe and Al leaching. UV-Vis spectra revealed the destruction of MB dye over multiple recycling studies. Based on this finding, the amorphous AlFe-BTC MOF nanoplates emerge as a promising solution for efficient dye removal from industrial wastewater, underscoring their potential in advanced environmental remediation processes.

Abstract
The surface water in coastal areas involving algae, is often affected by saline and emerging contaminants caused by saltwater intrusion, and expanding aquaculture industry. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct studies to address the issues that affect ecological safety and health of aquatic environments. This study presents the development of an enhanced electrooxidation/electrocoagulation-ultrafiltration (EO/EC-UF) membrane process using S2O42- (DTN@EO/EC-UF) for the treatment of saline water containing algae. Our results have shown that significant removal of NH3-N (95.1 %), UV254 (89.4 %) and algae (75.7 %) was achieved with the addition of S2O42- (DTN). Additionally, an optimal DTN dosage of 40 mg/L was used in the DTN@EO/EC process to enhance water purification, utilizing reactive species such as SO4·- and ·OH. After coupling with the ultrafiltration (UF) process, optimal operating conditions (DTN: 40 mg/L, current density: 4.65 mA/cm2, electrolysis: 60 s) were applied to treat the saline algae-containing surface water. The generated free chlorine, including NHCl2, accounted for approximately 22 % (0.14 mg/L). In addition, DTN significantly improved the ceramic membrane's permeability and anti-fouling characteristics, with a maximum increasing specific flux from 0.76 to 0.93, mainly attributing to the reduced the irreversible fouling resistance. Furthermore, we discovered that common membrane cleaning using acid or base enhanced the DTN@EO/EC-UF process. In conclusion, this study established an innovative DTN@EO/EC-UF process with excellent performance in terms of water purification and membrane self-cleaning. The results provided a promising alternative for treating saline algae-containing surface water.

Abstract
Due to its widespread use in agriculture, atrazine has entered aquatic environments and thus poses potential risks to public health. Therefore, researchers have done many studies to remove it. Advanced reduction process (ARP) is an emerging technology for degrading organic contaminants from aqueous solutions. This study was aimed at evaluating the degradation of atrazine via sulfite/iodide/UV process. The best performance (96% of atrazine degradation) was observed in the neutral pH at 60 min of reaction time, with atrazine concentration of 10 mg/L and concentration of sulfite and iodide of 1 mM. The kinetic study revealed that the removal of atrazine was matched with the pseudo-first-order model. Results have shown that reduction induced by e aq - and direct photolysis dominated the degradation of atrazine. The presence of anions (Cl - , CO 3 2 - and SO 4 2 - ) did not have a significant effect on the degradation efficiency. In optimal conditions, COD and TOC removal efficiency were obtained at 32% and 4%, respectively. Atrazine degradation intermediates were generated by de-chlorination, hydroxylation, de-alkylation, and oxidation reactions. Overall, this research illustrated that Sulfite/iodide/UV process could be a promising approach for atrazine removal and similar contaminants from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) as novel photocatalyst materials have attracted intensive attention for an impressive variety of photocatalytic applications due to their excellent photophysical (chemical) properties. Regarding practical application and future commercialization, the air-water stability and photocatalytic performance of OIHPs need to be further improved. Accordingly, studying modification strategies and interfacial interaction mechanisms is crucial. In this review, the current progress in the development and photocatalytic fundamentals of OIHPs is summarized. Furthermore, the structural modification strategies of OIHPs, including dimensionality control, heterojunction design, encapsulation techniques, and so on for the enhancement of charge-carrier transfer and the enlargement of long-term stability, are elucidated. Subsequently, the interfacial mechanisms and charge-carrier dynamics of OIHPs during the photocatalytic process are systematically specified and classified via diverse photophysical and electrochemical characterization methods, such as time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, transient photocurrent densities, and so forth. Eventually, various photocatalytic applications of OIHPs, including hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, pollutant degradation, and photocatalytic conversion of organic matter.

Here, floc-based sequencing batch reactor (FSBR), granule-based SBR (GSBR) and biofilm SBR (BSBR) were fed with 0.5, 5 and 10 mg/L of DADMAC C12 for 120 d. Compared with floc sludge and granule sludge, biofilm had the strongest ability to resist the impact of DADMAC C12. Notably, in both FSBR and GSBR systems, 5 mg/L DADMAC C12 promoted denitrification sludge to become hydrophobic and compact due to an increase in α-Helix/(β-Sheet+Random coil), consequently enhancing sludge granulation. Besides,high concentration of DADMAC C12 generally increased the abundances of MGEs in three denitrification systems, except extracellular MGEs in water. The variation of efflux pump ARGs was basically consistent with that of MGEs. The stimulation of DADMAC C12 also increased significantly the abundance of extracellular antibiotics deactivation ARGs in water in three denitrification systems. Besides, DADMAC C12 induced co-selection among various ARGs and promoted the proliferation and spread of sulfonamide ARGs in water.

Abstract
The growing global concern about environmental threats due to environmental pollution requires the development of environmentally friendly and efficient removal/detection materials and methods. Porphyrin/phthalocyanine (Por/Pc) based porous organic polymers (POPs) as a newly emerging porous material are prepared through polymerizing building blocks with different structures. Benefiting from the high porosity, adjustable pore structure, and enzyme-like activities, the Por/Pc-POPs can be the ideal platform to study the removal and detection of pollutants. However, a systematic summary of their application in environmental treatment is still lacking to date. In this review, the development of various Por/Pc-POPs for pollutant removal and detection applications over the past decade was systematically addressed for the first time to offer valuable guidance on environmental remediation through the utilization of Por/Pc-POPs. This review is divided into two sections (pollutants removal and detection) focusing on Por/Pc-POPs for organic, inorganic, and gaseous pollutants adsorption, photodegradation, and chemosensing, respectively. The related removal and sensing mechanisms are also discussed, and the methods to improve removal and detection efficiency and selectivity are also summarized. For the future practical application of Por/Pc-POPs, this review provides the emerging research directions and their application possibility and challenges in the removal and detection of pollutants.

Abstract
The release of untreated wastewater into water bodies has become a significant environmental concern, resulting in the accumulation of refractory organic pollutants that pose risks to human health and ecosystems. Wastewater treatment methods, including biological, physical, and chemical techniques, have limitations in achieving complete removal of the refractory pollutants. Chemical methods, particularly advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), have gained special attention for their strong oxidation capacity and minimal secondary pollution. Among the various catalysts used in AOPs, natural minerals offer distinct advantages, such as low cost, abundant resources, and environmental friendliness. Currently, the utilization of natural minerals as catalysts in AOPs lacks thorough investigation and review. This work addresses the need for a comprehensive review of natural minerals as catalysts in AOPs. The structural characteristics and catalytic performance of different natural minerals are discussed, emphasizing their specific roles in AOPs. Furthermore, the review analyzes the influence of process factors, including catalyst dosage, oxidant addition, pH value, and temperature, on the catalytic performance of natural minerals. Strategies for enhancing the catalytic efficiency of AOPs mediated by natural minerals are explored, mainly including physical fields, reductant addition, and cocatalyst utilization. The review also examines the practical application prospects and main challenges associated with the use of natural minerals as heterogeneous catalysts in AOPs. This work contributes to the development of sustainable and efficient approaches for organic pollutant degradation in wastewater.

Outstanding adsorption capacity of iron oxide synthesized with extract of açaí berry residue: kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic study for dye removal.

Abstract
Contamination of water by toxic dyes is a serious environmental problem. Adsorbents prepared by an environmentally safe route have stood out for application in pollutant removal. Herein, iron oxide-based nanomaterial composed of Fe(III)-OOH and Fe(II/III) bound to proanthocyanidins, with particles in the order of 20 nm, was prepared by green synthesis assisted by extract of açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) berry seeds from an agro-industrial residue. The nanomaterial was applied in the adsorption of cationic dyes. Screening tests were carried out for methylene blue (MB), resulting in an outstanding maximum adsorption capacity of 531.8 mg g-1 at 343 K, pH 10, 180 min. The kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model and the isotherm of Fritz-Schülnder provided the best fit. Thermodynamic data show an endothermic process with entropy increase, typical of chemisorption. The proposed mechanism is based on the multilayer formation over a heterogeneous adsorbent surface, with chemical and electrostatic interactions of MB with the iron oxide nanoparticles and with the proanthocyanidins. The high adsorption efficiency was attributed to the network formed by the polymeric proanthocyanidins that entangled and protected the iron oxide nanoparticles, which allowed the reuse of the nanomaterial for seven cycles without loss of adsorption efficiency.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution has been regarded as a significant public health hazard during the industrialization, which also have exhibited various types of toxicological manifestations. Moreover, due to the high cost and toxic by-products, some conventional remediation methods were limited to heavy metals pollution control. In this work, autoclaved Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used as a biosorbent for the removal of Cd2+ and Pb2+ from single and binary ions aqueous solution system. The kinetics and isotherm of Cd2+ and Pb2+ were studied in different ion systems. The results showed that the competitive adsorption ability of S. cerevisiae to Pb2+ was stronger than that to Cd2+ in binary ions solution. To all the single ion solution of Cd2+ or Pb2+ and binary ions solution of Cd2+-Pb2+, there always existed that the adsorption of metal ions on S. cerevisiae fitted well with pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherms model. The adsorption quantity qt in different solutions followed the sequence as qt (Cd2+-Pb2+) > qt (Pb2+-single) > qt (Pb2+-binary) > qt (Cd2+-single) > qt (Cd2+-binary). The autoclaved S. cerevisiae used in this research was one kind of rapid and favourable biosorbent for Pb2+ and Cd2+. In Pb2+ and Cd2+-containing solutions, sites competition and jointed toxicity of Pb2+ and Cd2+ on S. cerevisiae cells were the key to the total adsorption effect, and further researches were necessary in the next work. Thus, the current research presented that the autoclaved S. cerevisiae could be applied as an effective biosorbent for heavy metal adsorption from water environment and the design of eco-friendly technologies for the treatment of waste liquor.
