Li L, Niu X, Zhang D, Ye X, Zhang Z, Liu Q, Ding L, Chen K, Chen Y, Chen K, Shi Z, Lin Z. A systematic review on percarbonate-based advanced oxidation processes in wastewater remediation: From theoretical understandings to practical applications. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 259:121842. [PMID: 38820735 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121842] [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: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Percarbonate encompasses sodium percarbonate (SPC) and composite in-situ generated peroxymonocarbonate (PMC). SPC emerges as a promising alternative to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hailed for its superior transportation safety, stability, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness, thereby becoming a staple in advanced oxidation processes for mitigating water pollution. Yet, scholarly literature scarcely explores the deployment of percarbonate-AOPs in eradicating organic contaminants from aquatic systems. Consequently, this review endeavors to demystify the formation mechanisms and challenges associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) in percarbonate-AOPs, alongside highlighting directions for future inquiry and development. The genesis of ROS encompasses the in situ chemical oxidation of activated SPC (including iron-based activation, discharge plasma, ozone activation, photon activation, and metal-free materials activation) and composite in situ chemical oxidation via PMC (namely, H2O2/NaHCO3/Na2CO3, peroxymonosulfate/NaHCO3/Na2CO3 systems). Moreover, the ROS generated by percarbonate-AOPs, such as •OH, O2•-, CO3•-, HO2•-, 1O2, and HCO4-, can work individually or synergistically to disintegrate target pollutants. Concurrently, this review systematically addresses conceivable obstacles posing percarbonate-AOPs in real-world application from the angle of environmental conditions (pH, temperature, coexisting substances), and potential ecological toxicity. Considering the outlined challenges and advantages, we posit future research directions to amplify the applicability and efficacy of percarbonate-AOPs in tangible settings. It is anticipated that the insights provided in this review will catalyze the progression of percarbonate-AOPs in water purification endeavors and bridge the existing knowledge void.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 362:142117. [PMID: 38670501 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142117] [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: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
The application of nano-catalysts in improving the ozonation removal efficiency for refractory organic compounds has been extensively investigated. However, cost-effective nano-catalysts separation remains a challenge. In this study, membrane separation processes were employed to separate nano-MgO catalysts from an ozonation system. A continuous nano-catalytic ozonation membrane separation (nCOMS) coupling system was successfully constructed for treating quinoline. The results showed that long hydraulic retention time (HRT) and high nano-MgO dosage could improve the quinolone removal efficiency but shorten operation cycles. At the optimal operation conditions of HRT = 4 h and nano-MgO dosage = 0.2 g/L, the nCOMS system achieved a stable quinoline removal efficiency of 85.2% for 240 min running with a transmembrane pressure lower than 10 kPa. The quinoline removal efficiency contribution for ozonation, catalysis and membrane separation was 57.1%, 24.9% and 18.0%, respectively. Compared to ozonation membrane separation system, the fouling rate index of the nCOMS system increased by 60% under optimal conditions, but the irreversible fouling was reduced to 28%. In addition, the nCOMS system exhibited reduced adverse effects of coexisting natural organic matter (NOM) on quinoline removal and membrane fouling. In conclusion, the nCOMS system demonstrated higher quinoline removal efficiency, lower irreversible fouling, and reduced adverse effect of coexisting NOM, thereby signifying its potential for practical applications in advanced treatment of industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Low-loading Pd supported on Fe2O3 nanoparticles was synthesized. A common nanocatalyst system with previously reported synergistic enhancement of reactivity that is attributed to the electronic interactions between Pd and the Fe2O3 support. Fe2O3-selective precoalescence overcoating with ZnO atomic layer deposition (ALD), using Zn(CH2CH3)2 and H2O as precursors, dampens competitive hydrogenation reactivity at Fe2O3-based sites. The result is enhanced efficiency at the low-loading but high reactivity Pd sites. While this increases catalyst efficiency toward most aqueous redox reactions tested, it suppresses reactivity toward polyaromatic core substrates. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) show minimal electronic impacts for the ZnO overcoat on the Pd particles, implying a predominantly physical site blocking effect as the reason for the modified reactivity. This serves as a proof-of-concept of not only stabilizing supported nanocatalysts but also altering reactivity with ultrathin ALD overcoats. The results point to a facile ALD route for selective enhancement of reactivity for low-loading Pd-based supported nanocatalysts.

Abstract
The rapid and efficient mineralization of the chemotherapeutic drug busulfan (BSF) as the target pollutant has been investigated for the first time by three different heterogeneous EF systems that were constructed to ensure the continuous electro-generation of H2O2 and •OH consisting of: i) a multifunctional carbon felt (CF) based cathode composed of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), iron oxide nanoparticles and carbon black (CB) (rGO-Fe3O4/CB@CF), ii) rGO modified cathode (rGO/CB@CF) and rGO supported Fe3O4 (rGO-Fe3O4) catalyst and iii) rGO modified cathode (rGO/CB@CF) and multi walled carbon nanotube supported Fe3O4 (MWCNT-Fe3O4) catalyst. The effects of main variables, including the catalyst amount, applied current and initial pH were investigated. Based on the results, H2O2 was produced by oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the liquid-solid interface of both fabricated cathodes. •OH was generated by the reaction of H2O2 with the active site of ≡FeII on the surface of the multifunctional cathode and heterogeneous EF catalysts. Utilizing carbon materials with high conductivity, the redox cycling between ≡FeII and ≡FeIII was effectively facilitated and therefore promoted the performance of the process. The results demonstrated almost complete mineralization of BSF through the heterogeneous systems over a wide applicable pH range. According to the reusability and stability tests, multifunctional cathode exhibited outstanding performance after five consecutive cycles which is promising for the efficient mineralization of refractory organic pollutants. Moreover, intermediates products of BSF oxidation were identified and a plausible oxidation pathway was proposed. Therefore, this study demonstrates efficient and stable cathodes and catalysts for the efficient treatment of an anticancer active substance.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023:139231. [PMID: 37354958 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
Fenton-based electrochemical processes (FEPs) using newly engineered 3D photocatalyst nanocomposites have garnered significant attention owing to their ability to remove emerging contaminants. Despite the development of numerous materials, there is still a need to enhance their efficiency, stability, and recyclability to address the limitations of FEPs. This study seeks to address this issue by investigating sustainable methods to engineer novel 3D core-shell photocatalyst composites for application in FEPs. These materials can update the photo-assisted PEFs activity, and magnetism can be helpful for the easy recyclability of the catalyst. Herein, we successfully synthesized a magnetic and photoactive CuFe2O4@MIL-100(Fe) (CM) composite through sustainable methods and assessed its morphological structure and physicochemical and photocatalytic properties. The catalytic performance of CM was investigated in an undivided RuO2/air-diffusion cell to treat Cefadroxil. The results show that heterogeneous photoelectro-Fenton (HPEF) (100% in 120 min) has higher degradation efficiency than electro-Fenton (100% in 210 min) and electrooxidation (73.3% in 300 min) processes. The superior degradation efficiency of HPEF is attributed to the formation of a large amount of hydroxyl radicals indicating the excellent photocatalytic activity of the material due to the direct excitation of the Fe-O cluster, which boosts the redox reaction of Fe2+/Fe3+. Key operational parameters such as pH, catalyst concentration, current density, and CuFe2O4 proportion on MIL-100(Fe) in the composite were optimized in the HPEF process. The optimized composite exhibited good stability and easy recyclability, allowing high removal efficiency, which can be kept up after five cycles of 90 min. High degradation performance was observed using natural sunlight radiations. Additionally, possible catalytic degradation mechanisms in HPEFs were proposed based on radical quenching experiments. This study has significant potential to contribute to the development of more sustainable and effective water treatment strategies.

Abstract
The presence of toxic pollutants in wastewater discharge can affect the environment negatively due to presence of the organic and inorganic contaminants. The application of the electrochemical process in wastewater treatment is promising, specifically in treating these harmful pollutants from the aquatic environment. This review focused on recent applications of the electrochemical process for the remediation of such harmful pollutants from aquatic environments. Furthermore, the process conditions that affect the electrochemical process performance are evaluated, and the appropriate treatment processes are suggested according to the presence of organic and inorganic contaminants. Electrocoagulation, electrooxidation, and electro-Fenton applications in wastewater have shown effective performance with high removal rates. The disadvantages of these processes are the formation of toxic intermediate metabolites, high energy consumption, and sludge generation. To overcome such disadvantages combined ecotechnologies can be applied in large-scale wastewater pollutants removal. The combination of electrochemical and biological treatment has gained importance, increased removal performance remarkably, and decreased operational costs. The critical discussion with depth information in this review could be beneficial for wastewater treatment plant operators throughout the world.

Abstract
This review presents an exhaustive overview on the mechanisms of Fe3+ cathodic reduction within the context of the electro-Fenton (EF) process. Different strategies developed to improve the reduction rate are discussed, dividing them into two categories that regard the mechanistic feature that is promoted: electron transfer control and mass transport control. Boosting the Fe3+ conversion to Fe2+ via electron transfer control includes: (i) the formation of a series of active sites in both carbon- and metal-based materials and (ii) the use of other emerging strategies such as single-atom catalysis or confinement effects. Concerning the enhancement of Fe2+ regeneration by mass transport control, the main routes involve the application of magnetic fields, pulse electrolysis, interfacial Joule heating effects, and photoirradiation. Finally, challenges are singled out, and future prospects are described. This review aims to clarify the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycling process in the EF process, eventually providing essential ideas for smart design of highly effective systems for wastewater treatment and valorization at an industrial scale.

Abstract
The electro-Fenton (EF) process was first proposed in 1996 and, since then, considerable development has been achieved for its application in wastewater treatment, especially at lab and pilot scale. After more than 25 years, the high efficiency, versatility and environmental compatibility of EF process has been demonstrated. In this review, bibliometrics has been adopted as a tool that allows quantifying the development of EF as well as introducing some useful correlations. As a result, information is summarized in a more visual manner that can be easily analyzed and interpreted as compared to conventional reviewing. During the recent decades under review, 83 countries have contributed to the dramatic growth of EF publications, with China, Spain and France leading the publication output. The top 12 most cited articles, along with the top 32 most productive authors in the EF field, have been screened. Four stages have been identified as main descriptors of the development of EF throughout these years, being each stage characterized by relevant breakthroughs. To conclude, a general cognitive model for the EF process is proposed, including atomic, microscopic and macroscopic views, and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely supplied over all the world to animals and humans to fight and heal bacteriological diseases. The uptake of antibiotics has largely increased the average-life expectancy of living beings. However, these recalcitrant products have been detected at low concentrations in natural waters, with potential health risks due to alterations in food chains and an increase in the resistance to bacterial infection, control of infectious diseases, and damage of the beneficial bacteria. The high stability of antibiotics at mild conditions prevents their effective removal in conventional wastewater treatment plants. A powerful advanced oxidation processes such as the electro-Fenton (EF) process is being developed as a guarantee for their destruction by •OH generated as strong oxidant. This review presents a critical, exhaustive, and detailed analysis on the application of EF to remediate synthetic and real wastewaters contaminated with common antibiotics, covering the period 2017-2021. Homogeneous EF and heterogeneous EF involving iron solid catalysts or iron functionalized cathodes, as well as their hybrid and sequential treatments, are exhaustively examined. Their fundamentals and characteristics are detailed, and the main results obtained for the removal of the most used antibiotic families are carefully described and discussed. The role of generated oxidizing agents is explained, and the by-products generated, and reaction sequences proposed are detailed.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 200:111371. [PMID: 34081973 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.111371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 05/10/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Sodium percarbonate (SPC) is considered a potential alternative to liquid hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in organic compounds contaminated water/soil remediation due to its regularly, transportable, economical, and eco-friendly features. The solid state of SPC makes it more suitable to remediate actual soil and water with a milder H2O2 release rate. Apart from its good oxidative capacity, alkaline SPC can simultaneously remediate acidized solution and soil to the neutral condition. Conventionally, percarbonate-based advanced oxidation process (P-AOPs) system proceed through the catalysis under ultraviolet ray, transition metal ions (i.e., Fe2+, Fe3+, and V4+), and nanoscale zero-valent metals (iron, zinc, copper, and nickel). The hydroxyl radical (•OH), superoxide radical (•O2-), and carbonate radical anion (•CO3-) generated from sodium percarbonate could attack the organic pollutant structure. In this review, we present the advances of P-AOPs in heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic processes through a wide range of activation methods. This review aims to give an overview of the catalysis and application of P-AOPs for emerging contaminants degradation and act as a guideline of the field advances. Various activation methods of percarbonate are summarized, and the influence factors in the solution matrix such as pH, anions, and cations are thoroughly discussed. Moreover, this review helps to clarify the advantages and shortcomings of P-AOPs in current scientific progress and guide the future practical direction of P-AOPs in sustainable carbon catalysis and green chemistry.

Abstract
The disadvantages of limited working pH range and poor stability have hindered the practical application of traditional electro-Fenton process. In this research, a novel heterogeneous electro-Fenton (HEF) process with FeIIFeIII layered double hydroxide/carbon felt (FeIIFeIII LDH/CF) as cathode was developed for the rapid destruction of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in bulk solution. Effects of crucial influencing factors (initial pH, current intensity) on CIP degradation were investigated. Results indicated that FeIIFeIII LDH/CF cathode was efficient for CIP degradation (88.11%). Furthermore, CIP degradation performance in HEF could remain stable over wide range of pH (pH 3-9). The catalytic degradation of CIP in HEF process might be a combined effect of homogeneous EF reaction, anodic oxidation, and surface catalysis process via≡FeII/≡FeIII cycle. Possible degradation pathways were proposed. The results suggested that FeIIFeIII LDH/CF cathode showed great application potential for CIP degradation.

Abstract
ABSTRACTThe graphene-coated iron oxide (GCIO) was used for the removal of Pb2+ and As3+ ions from aqueous solution. For the characterization of GCIO, several techniques (FTIR, XRD, EDX, SEM, TEM, TGA, DSC and vibrating sample magnetometry) were used which indicated the interaction of Pb2+ and As3+ with adsorbent. In addition, the effects of adsorbate concentration, different composition of adsorbent, temperature, pH of the solution and contact time of adsorbate-adsorbent were studied. After analysis of these experiments, it was found that GCIO offered very fast removal of Pb2+ and As3+ with small amount of GCIO (0.09 g) in 100 mg/L adsorbate solution. The maximum removal of Pb2+ ions (up to 97.62%) was achieved when 100 mg/L standard solution of metal ion was treated with GCIO for 35 min at 45°C in weak acidic medium (5 pH). The adsorption of Pb2+ ions followed Freundlich model with high correlation coefficient 0.98 R2. In case of As3+ ions, maximum removal of metal ion (up to 86.62%) was attained when 100 mg/L adsorbate solution is treated with GCIO for 25 min in slightly acidic medium (6 pH) at 25°C. The adsorption of As3+ ions followed D-R model with 0.98 R2 value. The adsorption of both metal ions (Pb2+ and As3+) follows second-order kinetic model. The high percentage removal of metal ions with little quantity of GCIO confirmed that GCIO is an excellent, effective and economic adsorbent.

Abstract
Antibiotic pollution threatens aquatic ecosystems and water supplies, so analysis of ecofriendly remediation approaches like biochars with catalytic degradation abilities is a top priority. In this work, quinolone antibiotics were degraded by activating oxidants to generate transient radicals using the environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) carried by biochar. The physical and chemical characterization confirmed that biochar is suitable for the removal of organic pollutants. By regulating biochar preparation parameters, it was found that EPFR generation peaked at 500 °C. As the temperature increased from 300 °C to 500 °C, the EPFRs changed from oxygen-centered radicals (g > 2.0040) to carbon-centered radicals (g < 2.0030). The catalytic degradation efficiencies of the EPFR activated oxidants from large to small were: peroxydisulfate (PDS), peroxymonosulfate (PMS), H2O2 and flowing O2. The combined actions of SO4•- and •OH effectively degraded antibiotics. The results showed that biochar activating persulfate is a promising technique for the degradation of antibiotics.

Abstract
Oxygen vacancies and Ti3+ defects in anatase TiO2 have attracted great attention to address the insufficient optical absorption and photoinduced charge-carrier separation in photocatalysis. In this study, we demonstrate a superficial and innovative approach for synthesizing anatase TiO2 nanoparticles with abundant oxygen vacancies via γ-ray irradiation reduction at room temperature. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) confirm that oxygen vacancies and Ti3+ defects can be quantitatively and extensively obtained by merely regulating the irradiation dosage. Photoelectrochemical measurements suggest that oxygen vacancies and Ti3+ defects promoted the separation of electron-hole pairs and then enhanced the photocatalytic degradation performance for organic pollutant. In comparison with TiO2 (no irradiation), the sample (49.5 kGy irradiation) exhibited a 20.0-fold enhancement in visible-light decomposition of phenol. In addition, the results of scavenge experiments and mechanism analysis revealed that O2- are the dominant active species. The excited electrons generated at the conduction band and oxygen vacancy level of TiO2-x-49.5 conspicuously contributes to generate much more ·O2- species. This novel study shows at room temperature, the γ-ray approach of irradiation leads to faster formation and quantification of oxygen vacancies in the semiconductor materials.

Abstract
In this work, the removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) was studied by electro-Fenton (EF) technique using different molar ratio of Mn2+/Fe2+ based on a chemically modified graphite felt (MGF) cathode. The CIP removal efficiency reached 95.62% in 30 min and the removal efficiency of total organic carbon (TOC) reached 94.00% in 8 h under optimal conditions (50 mg/L initial CIP concentration, 400 mA applied current, 2:1 M ratio of Mn2+/Fe2+, and 3 initial pH value). A possible pathway of CIP degradation was supposed according to the analysis of the by-products detected during the EF process. An expanding experiment for CIP removal was also conducted by using acid mine drainage (AMD) rich in iron and manganese to replace the homogeneous solution in EF, and the CIP removal efficiency of 89.00% in 60 min under the optimal conditions may assign new perspectives for organic pollutants removals by utilizing AMD.

Abstract
As a hazardous material to the environment and human health, spent lithium-ion batteries need to be recycled in a reasonable way. To explore the effect of microwave heating on spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) recycling, the microwave-absorbing properties of a spent cathode powder (LiNixCoyMnzO2) were studied by measuring its dielectric properties from 25-900 °C at 2450 MHz under different conditions (temperature, carbon dose and apparent density). X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to study decomposition and reduction reactions in the heating process. The results indicated that the cathode material has good microwave-absorbing properties over the entire temperature range (25-900 °C), especially when mixed with carbon. As the reduction reactions proceed, the dielectric properties of the material increase rapidly from 600 °C, which means that microwave heating can promote a carbothermal reduction reaction. The effect of the carbon dose on the dielectric properties indicates that the carbothermal reduction reaction can fully occur when the carbon dose reaches 18%. Furthermore, the best microwave-absorbing performance can be achieved when the apparent density of the material is 1.41 g/cm3. These studies have established a basis for research towards the direct recovery of lithium from LIBs by microwave reduction roasting.

Abstract
Nano-layered double hydroxide (NLDH) decorated with Fe and Cu was applied as a novel heterogeneous catalyst for catalytic degradation of gentamicin by the electro-Fenton (EF) process. The EF process was equipped with graphite plate under aeration to electrochemically generate hydrogen peroxide in the solution. The characterization analyses confirmed the suitable structure of as-synthesized Cu-Fe-NLDH to be acted as catalyst for treating the target pollutant. The comparative study showed the highest removal efficiency of 91.3% when the Cu-Fe-NLDH-equipped EF process was applied in comparison with the Fenton (50%) and the electro-oxidation alone (25.6%). The acidic pHs favored the degradation of gentamicin. Increasing the current resulted in the enhanced degradation of gentamicin, while the excessive electrolyte concentration (0.1 mol/L) and catalyst dosage (1.5 g/L) led to the tangible drop in the reactor performance. At a specified reaction time, the injection of O3 gas enhanced the efficiency of the Cu-Fe-NLDH-equipped EF process. The presence of ethanol led to more suppressing effect than benzoquinone, indicating the dominant role of OH radical in the degradation of gentamicin compared with other free radical species such as O2- radical. Only 10% drop in the degradation efficiency of gentamicin was observed within 10 operational runs. The mineralization efficiency of about 77% was achieved after 300 min in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. The intermediate byproducts generated during the destructive removal of gentamicin were also identified.

Abstract
Promotion of iron solubility using ligands is the preliminary step in the homogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) process at a mild pH, but the chelate efficiencies of most organic ligands are unsatisfactory, resulting in insufficient Fe(II) availability. In this study, atomic H* was, for the first time, introduced to the EF process to accelerate the regeneration of the Fe(II)-complex at a mild pH using a Ni-deposited carbon felt (Ni-CF) cathode. The introduction of atomic H* significantly elevated total organic carbon (TOC) abatement of ciprofloxacin (CIP) from 42% (CF) to 81% (Ni-CF) at a natural pH. In the presence of humic acids (HAs), atomic H* introduced via Ni-CF enhanced the CIP degradation rate to 10 times that of the CF at a mild pH. The electron spin resonance (ESR), density functional theory (DFT) calculations, electrochemical characterization, and in situ electrochemical Raman study clearly demonstrated that the atomic H* generated from the Ni-CF cathode was highly efficient at reducing Fe(III)-complexes at a natural pH. Additionally, the Ni-CF could generate atomic H* without significant nickel leaching. Thus, the atomic H* could continuously facilitate iron cycling and, consequently, enhance pollutant mineralization via the homogeneous EF process at a mild pH in an environmentally friendly manner.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2019; 237:128-138. [PMID: 30784860 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.02.068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 163] [Impact Index Per Article: 32.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2018] [Revised: 01/30/2019] [Accepted: 02/12/2019] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
With the development of the removal of organic pollutants in the soil and water environment, antibiotics have been considered as emerging pollutants and received considerable attention among the scientific community. Thus, there is a need for an effective, economical, fast, operational feasible and environmental-friendly technology to remove antibiotics. Adsorption technology would be one of the most promising option on the basis that it best meets the criteria we set out above. From the most primitive activated carbon to the most innovative modified biochar, carbon-based materials have played a significant role in the adsorption process of antibiotics all the time. This paper reviews the adsorption behavior of some representative antibiotics (e.g., chloramphenicols, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, flouroquinolones) over various carbonaceous materials (i.e., activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and biochar). Nevertheless, in addition to the structural characteristics and adsorption capacities of carbon-based materials, a special emphasis was placed on the underlying adsorption mechanisms and roles of different influencing factors in the adsorption process. Moreover, the knowledge gaps and research challenges have been highlighted, including design and optimization of the carbonaceous materials for antibiotics adsorption.

Insights on the nitrate reduction and norfloxacin oxidation over a novel nanoscale zero valent iron particle: Reactivity, products, and mechanism. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 660:541-549. [PMID: 30641381 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.01.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2018] [Revised: 12/11/2018] [Accepted: 01/05/2019] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Herein, the application of a novel acid mine drainage-based nanoscale zero valent iron (AMD-based nZVI) for the remediation of nitrate and norfloxacin (NOR) was studied. Experimental results indicated that the catalytic reactivity of AMD-based nZVI toward nitrate reduction was superior to that of iron salt-based nanoscale zero valent iron (Iron salt-based nZVI). The presence of ultrasound irradiation could significantly enhance the reactivity toward both the nitrate reduction and NOR oxidation processes. The optimal efficiencies of nitrate and NOR by AMD-based nZVI/US process could be kept 96 and 94% within 120 min, respectively. Ammonia was identified as a major product in nitrate reduction process, while three oxidation products were observed in NOR degradation process. Both reduction reaction of nitrate from AMD-based nZVI and oxidation reaction of NOR from US-assisted Fenton system might be involved in AMD-based nZVI/US process. The AMD-based nZVI/US process showed a better performance on the removal of NOR compared with that of nitrate. The findings of the present work could be as a guide and show that AMD-based nZVI/US process is feasible for the remediation of both nitrate and NOR in real wastewater.

[PMID: 35521181 PMCID: PMC9061158 DOI: 10.1039/c9ra00875f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2019] [Accepted: 02/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Raw coal fly ash was first activated by microwave irradiation to promote its catalytic potential and then used as a Fenton-like catalyst to treat polyacrylamide-contaminated wastewater. The optimal activation conditions of the raw coal fly ash (microwave power = 700 W, irradiation time = 10 min, mixing speed = 120 rpm, and raw coal fly ash loading = 20 g L-1) were determined by the orthogonal test. The significance of each effective parameter follows the order: raw coal fly ash loading > microwave power > irradiation time > mixing speed. Microwave irradiation can change the surface morphology and remarkably increase the specific surface area and pore volume. More than 75% of the TOC in the polyacrylamide-contaminated wastewater can be removed under the optimized treatment conditions ([H2O2] = 12 mg L-1, catalyst loading = 10 g L-1, [polyacrylamide] = 200 mg L-1, T = 313 K). The kinetic study shows that the variation in the catalyst loading and the polyacrylamide concentration can change the degradation path of the polyacrylamide, whereas the variation in the H2O2 dosage can accelerate the degradation of polyacrylamide. The Fenton-like process studied herein has a wider optimal pH range (2-5) than that of the classic Fenton process (3). The catalyst has weak catalytic capacity but better catalytic persistence than that of Fe2+. During the five runs of the catalyst, some heavy metallic and toxic elements (Fe, Al, Ti, Cr, Mn, etc.) can be detected but under the limits of the GB8978-1996 standard. Leaching can weaken the catalytic capacity (i.e., stability) of the catalyst. The catalytic process is caused by the synergism of multiple metals and consists of heterogeneous and homogeneous processes.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 653:446-454.

Abstract
Antibiotics have been widely spread in the environments, imposing profound stress on the resistome of the residing microbes. Marine microbiomes are well established large reservoirs of novel antibiotics and corresponding resistance genes. The Gulf of Khambhat is known for its extreme tides and complex sedimentation process. We performed high throughput sequencing and applied bioinformatics techniques on pelagic sediment microbiome across four coordinates of the Gulf of Khambhat to assess the marine resistome, its corresponding bacterial community and compared with the open Arabian Sea sample. We identified a total of 2354 unique types of resistance genes, with most abundant and diverse gene profile in the area that had anthropogenic activities being carried out on-shore. The genes with >1% abundance in all samples included carA, macB, sav1866, tlrC, srmB, taeA, tetA, oleC and bcrA which belonged to the macrolides, glycopeptides and peptide drug classes. ARG enriched phyla distribution was quite varying between all the sites, with Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes among the dominant phyla. Based on the outcomes, we also propose potential biomarker candidates Desulfovibrio, Thermotaga and Pelobacter for antibiotic monitoring in the two of the Gulf samples probable contamination prone environments, and genera Nitrosocccus, Marinobacter and Streptomyces in the rest of the three studied samples. Outcomes support the concept that ARGs naturally originate in environments and human activities contribute to the dissemination of antibiotic resistance.
