Zhou J, Liu J, Liu T, Liu G, Li J, Chen D, Feng Y. Electrochemical activation of persulfate by Al-doped blue TiO 2 nanotubes for the multipath degradation of atrazine. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 445:130578. [PMID: 37055983 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The combination of electrolysis and persulfate activation (E/PDS) is a cost-effective method for the treatment of refractory organics. However, persulfate is difficult to be activated into radicals at the anode, resulting in insufficient electro-activation efficiency. Herein, Al doped blue TiO2 nanotube electrodes (Al-bTNT) were first employed as cost-effective anode materials to fully activate PDS to radicals. In E/PDS, the kinetic constant of atrazine removal by Al-bTNT (0.048 min-1) substantially outperformed the other anodes, including the blue TiO2 nanotube electrodes (bTNT) (0.024 min-1), Ti4O7 (0.02 min-1), and B doped diamond (BDD) anodes (0.023 min-1). The Al-bTNT-E/PDS exhibited a low energy consumption (EEO = 0.72 kWh m-3) and a high mineralization rate. Based on the results of electron paramagnetic resonance, quenching experiments, and probe experiments, we propose that atrazine degrades in the Al-bTNT-E/PDS system mainly via a novel radical pathway that involves both·OH and SO4·- and the generated SO4·- is responsible for the enhanced removal rate. The oxygen vacancies (VO) generated from interstitial Al may serve as the active sites to adsorb and dissociate the persulfate molecules based on extensive characterizations. The attempt at soil-washing wastewater disposal indicated the synergistic system possessed good potential for future practical application.

Abstract
Owing to the rapid developments to improve the accuracy and efficiency of both experimental and computational investigative methodologies, the massive amounts of data generated have led the field of materials science into the fourth paradigm of data-driven scientific research. This transition requires the development of authoritative and up-to-date frameworks for data-driven approaches for material innovation. A critical discussion on the current advances in the data-driven discovery of materials with a focus on frameworks, machine-learning algorithms, material-specific databases, descriptors, and targeted applications in the field of inorganic materials is presented. Frameworks for rationalizing data-driven material innovation are described, and a critical review of essential subdisciplines is presented, including: i) advanced data-intensive strategies and machine-learning algorithms; ii) material databases and related tools and platforms for data generation and management; iii) commonly used molecular descriptors used in data-driven processes. Furthermore, an in-depth discussion on the broad applications of material innovation, such as energy conversion and storage, environmental decontamination, flexible electronics, optoelectronics, superconductors, metallic glasses, and magnetic materials, is provided. Finally, how these subdisciplines (with insights into the synergy of materials science, computational tools, and mathematics) support data-driven paradigms is outlined, and the opportunities and challenges in data-driven material innovation are highlighted.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are promising technologies for partial or complete mineralization of contaminants of emerging concern by highly reactive hydroxyl, hydroperoxyl, superoxide, and sulphate radicals. Detailed investigations and reviews have been reported for conventional AOP systems that have been installed in full-scale wastewater treatment plants. However, recent efforts have focused on the peroxymonosulphate, persulphate, catalytic ozonation, ultrasonication and hydrodynamic cavitation, gamma radiation, electrochemical oxidation, modified Fenton, and plasma-assisted AOPs. This critical review presents the detailed mechanisms of emerging AOP technologies, their performance for treatment of contaminants of emerging concern, the relative advantages and disadvantages of each technology, and the remaining challenges to scale-up and implementation. Among the evaluated technologies, the modified electrochemical oxidation, gamma radiation, and plasma-assisted systems demonstrated the greatest potential for successful and sustainable implementation in wastewater treatment due to their environmental safety, compatibility, and efficient transformation of contaminants of emerging concern by a variety of reactive species. The other emerging AOP systems were also promising, but additional scale-up trials and a deeper understanding of their reaction kinetics in complex wastewater matrices are necessary to determine the technical and economic feasibility of full-scale processes.

Abstract
Atrazine, an herbicide used to control grassy and broadleaf weed, has become an essential part of agricultural crop protection tools. It is widely sprayed on corn, sorghum and sugar cane, with the attendant problems of its residues in agri-food and washing water. If ingested into humans, this residual atrazine can cause reproductive harm, developmental toxicity and carcinogenicity. It is therefore important to find clean and economical degradation processes for atrazine. In recent years, many physical, chemical and biological methods have been proposed to remove atrazine from the aquatic environment. This review introduces the research works of atrazine degradation in aqueous solutions by method classification. These methods are then compared by their advantages, disadvantages, and different degradation pathways of atrazine. Moreover, the existing toxicological experimental data for atrazine and its metabolites are summarized. Finally, the review concludes with directions for future research and major challenges to be addressed.

Abstract
In phosphate buffer, the degradation of ATZ by ozone/(O3/H2O2) under various circumstance was explored and the degradation mechanism and dynamics were probed. The findings revealed that when maintaining the reaction temperature at 25 °C, the H2O2 concentration and the O3 concentration were 20 mol/L and 20 mol/L, respectively. Moreover, the degradation rate of 5 mol/L ATZ under the influence of O3/H2O2 was 92.59% in phosphate buffer at pH7. The mechanism analysis showed that HO• and O3 underwent co-oxidized degradation and that the HO• and O3 oxidation degradation ratios were close to 1:1 under acidic conditions. Furthermore, HO• oxidative degradation dominated the ATZ degradation process. The kinetics analysis showed that the ATZ kinetics of O3/H2O2 degradation were more compatible with quasi-second-order reaction kinetics under different temperatures, pH values, and H2O2 concentrations.

Abstract
The performance of the combination system of tapered variable diameter biological fluidized bed (TVDBFB) with electrochemistry (EC) was evaluated for removing azimsulfuron and zoxamide under different temperatures and influent concentrations. Maximum removal efficiency of azimsulfuron and zoxamide could reach 94% and 98% under higher influent concentration (about 780 mg/L). As temperature decreased from 32 ℃ to 8 ℃, the mSe increased from 48% to 56%, and the mSo and mSxv decreased from 30% to 22% and 27% to 24%, respectively. As the influent COD equivalent concentration of azimsulfuron and zoxamide enhanced from 260 mg/L to 780 mg/L, the Kd increased from 0.06 d-1 to 0.23 d-1. Temperature and influent concentration were main influencing factors of DHA, ATP and ETS. Increasing aeration in TVDBFB and HRT in EC under shock conditions could improve azimsulfuron and zoxamide removal efficiency, however, it was also accompanied by higher carbon emissions.

Abstract
An ultraviolet (UV) and ultrasound (US) enhanced ozonation method were developed to investigate their efficiency on the removal of atrazine and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in authentic atrazine manufacturing wastewater. The bench-scale tests suggested a positive effect of UV and US on the degradation of atrazine within a limited energy range. The pilot-scale flow-through system was further tested by using response surface methodology. The results showed that O3 and its interaction with UV promoted the degradation of both COD and atrazine while its interaction with US inhibited the removal of COD but promoted the removal of atrazine. The optimal removal rate of atrazine (96.9%) was achieved in the condition of 6.86 W/L UV, 1.96 g/L·h O3 and 294 W/L US. Chloride ions hindered the atrazine degradation, but the generated free chlorine radicals were still able to react with atrazine. In terms of energy-effectiveness, the configuration of 14.7 W/L UV and 1.96 g/L·h O3 is the best option, which have the electrical energy per order of 181.6 kWh/m3 for atrazine and 0.13 kWh/g COD. These method and findings could be helpful in the development of energy-efficient advanced oxidation processes in treating wastewater with high salinity and COD loadings.

Abstract
Selective removal of atrazine (ATZ) in wastewater and clarification of the degradation intermediate-toxicity correlation are of great importance. A newly molecularly imprinted, {001} facets-exposed TiO2 (MI-TiO2,001) photoanode with strong catalytic and selective ability was designed. ATZ was selectively removed from pesticide wastewater, reaching 1.9 µg L-1, approximately 1/10 of the concentration achieved with nonselective treatment. This selective removal originated from the preferential adsorption and enrichment of ATZ onto MI-TiO2,001. The highly specific recognition relied on the halogen bond and strong hydrogen bond formed between the Cl atom and triazine ring π orbital of ATZ and the surface -OH group of MI-TiO2,001 as well as the recognition of MI-TiO2,001 to the shape and size of ATZ. The specific interaction leads to different accumulations of intermediates. The correlation of intermediate and toxicity was also discussed. Aquatic toxicity was rapidly reduced through the direct dealkylation path, and due to the accumulation of highly toxic 2‑hydroxy-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine, there will be transient fluctuations via the dechlorination-hydroxylation path first. The final product was identified as nearly nontoxic cyanuric acid, the selective accumulation of which indicated that there was almost 100% removal of aquatic toxicity and cytotoxicity with only 9.8% removal of total organic carbon. This work provides new insight into the correlation of pollutant degradation intermediates and changes in toxicity.

Abstract
In this study, the removal efficiency of nitrogen, specific nitrification rate (SNR), specific denitrification rate (SDNR) and compliance rate of the novel tapered variable diameter biological fluidized bed (TVDBFB) and anoxic/oxic (AO) process were compared at different temperatures. The results showed that the optimal TN, NH4+-N, and TKN removal efficiencies of the TVDBFB were 76%, 89% and 88%, respectively, and those of AO were 65%, 67% and 69%, respectively. The SNR and SDNR of the TVDBFB were significantly higher than those of AO. The TVDBFB had a smaller footprint than AO. The alkalinity/NH4+-N, BOD5/TN and temperature play important roles in the compliance rate. Increasing the carrier packing rate has emerged as a new strategy for enhancing the compliance rate. Mathematical models were developed and determined to be well-fitted with the experimental values, which can be employed to predict the SNR and SDNR of the TVDBFB.

Bhat AP, Gogate PR. Degradation of nitrogen-containing hazardous compounds using advanced oxidation processes: A review on aliphatic and aromatic amines, dyes, and pesticides. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 403:123657. [PMID: 33264866 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 74] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2020] [Revised: 07/29/2020] [Accepted: 08/01/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Nitrogen-containing amino and azo compounds are widely used in textile, agricultural and chemical industries. Most of these compounds have been demonstrated to be resistant to conventional degradation processes. Advanced oxidation processes can be effective to mineralize nitrogen-containing compounds and improve the efficacy of overall treatment schemes. Due to a global concern for the occurrence of toxic and hazardous amino-compounds and their harmful degradation products in water, it is important to develop technologies that focus on all the aspects of their degradation. Our focus is to present a state-of-the-art review on the degradation of several amine- and azo-based compounds using advanced oxidation processes. The categories reviewed are aromatic amines, aliphatic amines, N-containing dyes and N-containing pesticides. Data has been compiled for degradation efficiencies of each process, reaction mechanisms focusing on specific attack of oxidants on N atoms, the effect of process parameters like pH, initial concentration, time of treatment, etc. and identification of intermediates. Several AOPs have been compared to provide a systematic overview of available literature that will drive essential aspects of future research on amine-based compounds. Ozone is observed to be highly reactive to most amines, dyes and pesticides, followed by Fenton processes. Degradation of amines is highly sensitive to pH and mechanisms differ at different pH values. Cavitation is a promising alternative pre-treatment method for cost reduction. Hybrid methods under optimized conditions are demonstrated to give synergistic effects and must be tailored for specific effluents in question. In conclusion, even though nitrogen-containing compounds are recalcitrant in nature, the use of advanced oxidation processes at carefully established optimum conditions can yield highly efficient degradation of the compounds.

Abstract
Recently, a series of new photocatalysts have been developed for to combat diverse bio-recalcitrant contaminants and the inactivation of bacteria. Modeling photocatalytic processes is important to assess these materials, and to understand and optimize their performance. In this study, the recent literature is critically reviewed and analyzed to identify and compare methods of modeling photocatalytic performance. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood model (L-H) has been used in many studies to rationalize the degradation kinetics of single contaminants because it is the simplest model including both the adsorption equilibrium and degradation rates. Other studies report the development of more sophisticated variants of the L-H model that include the rates of catalyst excitation, recombination of electron-hole pairs, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and formation of by-products. Modified Chick-Watson (CW) and Hom models have been used by many researchers to include lag phases of bacteria in the description of disinfection kinetics. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been used to analyze the effects of operational conditions on photocatalyst performance. Moreover, response surface methodology (RSM) has been employed for experimental design, and optimization of operational conditions. We have reviewed and analyzed all available articles that model photocatalytic activity towards water pollution, summarized and put them in context, and recommended future research directions.

Abstract
The main objective of this study is the degradation of a synthetic solution of atrazine by a modified vermiculite catalyzed ozonation, in a rotating packed bed (RPB) reactor. A 0.5 L RPB reactor was used to perform the experiments, using a Central Composite Design (CCD) response surface to construct the quadratic model based on the factors: pH, catalyst concentration and reactor rotation frequency. The response variable was the removal of the organic load measured in terms of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). After the complete quadratic model was constructed through the response surface, the COD degradation process had an optimal removal of 41% under the following conditions: pH 8.0, rotation of 1150 rpm and catalyst concentration 0.66 g L-1.

Li Z. The use of a disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) metric to measure human health damage resulting from pesticide maximum legal exposures. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2018; 639:438-456. [PMID: 29800838 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.05.148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2018] [Revised: 04/26/2018] [Accepted: 05/12/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Most agencies around the world have developed a separate regulation frameworks for pesticides with different modes of action, likely because of the lack of a uniform quantification for health damage, which may underestimate pesticides' impact on human health and disease burden. In this study, the disability-adjusted life-year, a uniform metric used to express the human health impact and damage, was used to measure theoretical health damage resulting from maximum exposure as permitted by law to the most widely used pesticides. The total human risk characterization factors computed from chlorpyrifos and diazinon standard values through main exposure routes are generally larger than that of other widely used pesticides, and most factors of chlorpyrifos exceed the upper bounds of health risk. In addition, the damages to human health quantified from soil legal exposure to these widely used pesticides are much lower than that from exposure to drinking water or foods, which could help derive exposure allocation factors for different exposure routes. A total of 412 (28.3% of the total) computed total risk characterization factors of the 13 pesticides exceed the upper bound of tolerable risk uncertainty. Some nations, such as those in Europe, have adopted uniform and strict pesticide standard values as well as some computed risk characterization factors presented in the consensus data cluster. In addition, the results of an analysis on the geographical distribution of health risk characterization factors indicated that European nations have provided more conservative pesticide standard values in general. It is hoped that regulatory agencies can apply this uniform metric to compare and formulate legal limits for pesticides that have different modes of action.

Abstract
In this study, a UV/O3 hybrid advanced oxidation system was used to remove chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), and atrazine (ATZ) from ATZ production wastewater. The removal of COD and NH3-N, under different UV and O3 conditions, was found to follow pseudo-first-order kinetics with rate constants ranging from 0.0001-0.0048 and 0.0015-0.0056 min-1, respectively. The removal efficiency of ATZ was over 95% after 180 min treatment, regardless the level of UV power. A kinetic model was further proposed to simulate the removal processes and to quantify the individual roles and contributions of photolysis, direct O3 oxidation, and hydroxyl radical (OH·) induced oxidation. The experimental and kinetic modeling results agreed reasonably well with deviations of 12.2 and 13.1% for the removal of COD and NH3-N, respectively. Photolysis contributed appreciably to the degradation of ATZ, while OH· played a dominant role for the removal of both COD and NH3-N, especially in alkaline environments. This study provides insights into the treatment of ATZ containing wastewater using UV/O3 and broadens the knowledge of kinetics of ozone-based advanced oxidation processes.
