Abstract
The persulfate-based electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (PS-EAOPs) exhibit distinctive advantages in the degradation of emerging contaminants (ECs) and have garnered significant attention among researchers, leading to a consistent surge in related research publications over the past decade. Regrettably, there is still a lack of a critical review gaining deep into understanding of ECs degradation by PS-EAOPs. To address the knowledge gaps, in this review, the mechanism of electro-activated PS at the interface of the electrodes (anode, cathode and particle electrodes) is elaborated. The correlation between these electrode materials and the activation mechanism of PS is systematically discussed. The strategies for improving the performance of electrode material that determining the efficiency of PS-EAOPs are also summarized. Then, the applications of PS-EAOPs for the degradation of ECs are described. Finally, the challenges and outlook of PS-EAOPs are discussed. In summary, this review offers valuable guidance for the degradation of ECs by PS-EAOPs.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 353:141575.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) in seawater tends to be deposited in coastal sediments. However, its degradation under tidal oscillations has not been explored comprehensively. Hydroxyl radicals (·OH) can be generated through Fe cycling under redox oscillations, which have a strong oxidizing capacity. This study focused on the contribution of Fe-mediated production of ·OH in BPA degradation under darkness. The removal of BPA was investigated by reoxygenating six natural coastal sediments, and three redox cycles were applied to prove the sustainability of the process. The importance of low reactivity Fe(II) in the production of ·OH was investigated, specifically, Fe(II) with carbonate and Fe(II) within goethite, hematite and magnetite. The degradation efficiency of BPA during reoxygenation of sediments was 76.78-94.82%, and the contribution of ·OH ranged from 36.74% to 74.51%. The path coefficient of ·OH on BPA degradation reached 0.6985 and the indirect effect of low reactivity Fe(II) on BPA degradation by mediating ·OH production reached 0.5240 obtained via partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM). This study emphasizes the importance of low reactivity Fe(II) in ·OH production and provides a new perspective for the role of tidal-induced ·OH on the fate of refractory organic pollutants under darkness.

Abstract
As an azo dye, OG has toxic and harmful effects on ecosystems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a green, environmentally friendly, and efficient catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of OG. In this study, the catalysts MIL-101(Fe) and NH2-MIL-101(Fe) were prepared using a solvothermal method to carry out degradation experiments. They were characterized by means of XRD, SEM, XPS, and FT-IR, and the results showed that the catalysts were successfully prepared. Then, a catalyst/PMS system was constructed, and the effects of different reaction systems, initial pH, temperature, catalyst dosing, PMS concentration, and the anion effect on the degradation of OG were investigated. Under specific conditions (100 mL OG solution with a concentration of 50 mg/L, pH = 7.3, temperature = 25 °C, 1 mL PMS solution with a concentration of 100 mmol/L, and a catalyst dosage of 0.02 g), the degradation of OG with MIL-101(Fe) was only 36.6% within 60 min; as a comparison, NH2-MIL-101(Fe) could reach up to 97.9%, with a reaction constant k value of 0.07245 min-1. The NH2-MIL-101 (Fe)/PMS reaction system was able to achieve efficient degradation of OG at different pH values (pH = 3~9). The degradation mechanism was analyzed using free-radical quenching tests. The free-radical quenching tests showed that SO4•-, •OH, and 1O2 were the main active species during the degradation of OG.

Activation of peroxymonosulfate by biochar-supported Fe 3O 4 derived from oily sludge to enhance the oxidative degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 347:119187. [PMID: 37804632 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119187] [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: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023]
Abstract
Carbon materials used for catalysis in advanced oxidation processes tend to be obtained from cheap and readily available raw materials. We constructed a carbon material, OSC@Fe3O4, by loading Fe3O4 onto the pyrolyzed hazardous waste oily sludge. OSC@Fe3O4 was then used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the removal of tetracycline hydrochloride (TTCH) from water. At 298 K, 0.2 g⋅L-1 of catalyst and 0.3 g⋅L-1 of PMS, the reaction rate constant of the OSC@I-2/PMS system reached 0.079 min-1, with a TTCH removal efficiency of 92.6%. The degradation efficiency of TTCH remained at 81% after five cycles. The specific surface area and pore volume of OSC@I-2 were 263.9 m2⋅g-1 and 0.42 cm3⋅g-1, respectively, which improved the porous structure of the carbon material and provided more active points, thus improving the catalytic performance. N and S were doped into the oily sludge carbon due to the presence of N- and S-containing compounds in the raw oily sludge. N and S doping led to more electron-rich sites with higher negative charges in OSC@I-2 and gave the oily sludge carbon a higher affinity to PMS, thereby promoting its ability to activate PMS. Sulfate radicals (SO4•‾) played a dominant role in the degradation of TTCH, with demethylation and the breaking of double bonds being a possible degradation pathway. A biotoxicity test showed that the microbial toxicity of the degradation intermediates was significantly reduced. This work provides a strategy for the application of PMS-based catalysts derived from waste carbon resources.

Abstract
Process Intensification (PI) is the modification or integration of conventional or novel processes within a single unit operation in order to improve product quality and reduce waste. PI offers numerous advantages, including a reduction in the initial and operational costs, an improvement in product quality/quantity, the generation of less waste, and an increase in process safety. The synergistic effect of PI in comparison to the conventional procedure ensures maximizing resource efficiency. PI can be accomplished in two ways: either by integrating various processes or by modifying the design of equipment to improve operational efficiency. In this regard, the present review provides a comprehensive insight into the application of PI in wastewater and sludge treatment methods and discusses the operational advantages. This review provides a comprehensive list of different PI approaches applied in wastewater and sludge treatment to remove pollutants and the various equipment, techniques and reactors used in PI. The second section addresses the challenges of PI in wastewater treatment that removes dyes, pesticides, organic and inorganic pollutants, micro- and nano-plastics, persistent organic pollutants, pharmaceutical and personal care pollutants.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 341:118076.

Abstract
Biochar is considered a good activator for use in advanced oxidation technology. However, dissolved solids (DS) released from biochar cause unstable activation efficiency. Biochar prepared from saccharification residue of barley straw (BC-SR) had less DS than that prepared directly from barley straw (BC-O). Moreover, BC-SR had a higher C content, degree of aromatization, and electrical conductivity than BC-O. Although the effects of BC-O and BC-SR on activation of Persulfate (PS) to remove phenol were similar, the activation effect of DS from BC-O was 73% higher than that of DS from BC-SR. Moreover, the activation effect of DS was shown to originate from its functional groups. Importantly, BC-SR had higher activation stability than BC-O owing to the stable graphitized carbon structure of BC-SR. Identification of reactive oxygen species showed that SO4•-, •OH, and 1O2 were all effective in degradation by BC-SR/PS and BC-O/PS systems, but their relative contributions differed. Furthermore, BC-SR as an activator showed high anti-interference ability in the complex groundwater matrix, indicating it has practical application value. Overall, this study provides novel insight that can facilitate the design and optimization of a green, economical, stable, and efficient biochar-activated PS for groundwater organic pollution remediation.

Treatment of Water Contaminated with Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Using Peroxymonosulfate Activated by Calcined Melamine@magnetite Nanoparticles Encapsulated into a Polymeric Matrix. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27227845.

Abstract
In the present study, calcined melamine (CM) and magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) were encapsulated in a calcium alginate (CA) matrix to effectively activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and generate free radical species for the degradation of ibuprofen (IBP) drug. According to the Langmuir isotherm model, the adsorption capacities of the as-prepared microcapsules and their components were insignificant. The CM/MNPs/CA/PMS process caused the maximum degradation of IBP (62.4%) in 30 min, with a synergy factor of 5.24. Increasing the PMS concentration from 1 to 2 mM improved the degradation efficiency from 62.4 to 68.0%, respectively, while an increase to 3 mM caused a negligible effect on the reactor effectiveness. The process performance was enhanced by ultrasound (77.6% in 30 min), UV irradiation (91.6% in 30 min), and electrochemical process (100% in 20 min). The roles of O•H and SO4•- in the decomposition of IBP by the CM/MNPs/CA/PMS process were 28.0 and 25.4%, respectively. No more than 8% reduction in the degradation efficiency of IBP was observed after four experimental runs, accompanied by negligible leachate of microcapsule components. The bio-assessment results showed a notable reduction in the bio-toxicity during the treatment process based on the specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR).

Abstract
Pharmaceutical compounds have piqued the interest of researchers due to an increase in their demand, which increases the possibility of leakage into the environment. Amoxicillin (AMX) is a penicillin derivative used for the treatment of infections caused by gram-positive bacteria. AMX has a low metabolic rate in the human body, and around 80-90% is unmetabolized. As a result, AMX residuals should be treated immediately to avoid further accumulation in the environment. Advanced oxidation process techniques are an efficient way to degrade AMX. This review attempts to collect, organize, summarize, and analyze the most up to date research linked to the degradation of AMX by different advanced oxidation process systems including photocatalytic, ultrasonic, electro-oxidation, and advanced oxidation process-based on partials. The main topics investigated in this review are degradation mechanism, degradation efficiency, catalyst stability, the formation of AMX by-products and its toxicity, in addition, the influence of different experimental conditions was discussed such as pH, temperature, scavengers, the concentration of amoxicillin, oxidants, catalyst, and doping ratio. The degradation of AMX could be inhibited by very high values of pH, temperature, AMX concentration, oxidants concentration, catalyst concentration, and doping ratio. Several AMX by-products were discovered after oxidation treatment, and several of them had lower or same values of LC50 (96 h) fathead minnow of AMX itself, such as m/z 384, 375, 349, 323, 324, 321, 318, with prediction values of 0.70, 1.10, 1.10 0.42, 0.42, 0.42, and 0.42 mg/L, respectively. We revealed that there is no silver bullet system to oxidize AMX from an aqueous medium. However, it is recommended to apply hybrid systems such as Photo-electro, Photo-Fenton, Electro-Fenton, etc. Hybrid systems are capable to cover the drawbacks of the single system. This review may provide important information, as well as future recommendations, for future researchers interested in treating AMX using various AOP systems, allowing them to improve the applicability of their systems and successfully oxidize AMX from an aqueous medium.

Abstract
Magnetic iron oxide and iron/copper nanoparticles were synthesized using Lathyrus brachypterus extract, and then magnetic Fe3O4–CS, Fe3O4–AT, Fe/Cu–CS and Fe/Cu–AT nanocomposite beads were synthesized using chitosan and alginate natural polymers. They were used for both adsorption and heterogeneous catalysts for the catalytic wet peroxidation (CWPO) of naproxen (NPX), diclofenac (DCF) and NPX + DCF drugs which are important micro-organic pollutants, separately and together (NPX + DCF) from aqueous media. In adsorption studies, the drugs were adsorbed very quickly in the first minutes and then, desorbed in between 8 and 10 min. In competitive adsorption, the adsorbents showed selective properties for DCF and NPX. In CWPO technique, drug removal was achieved in 9 min with a conversion capacity of 92% for DCF with Fe/Cu–CS and 84% for NPX with Fe/Cu–AT optimum experimental conditions, such as pH 5, 30% of H2O2, 100 mg catalyst and 298 K. Based on reusability of the catalysts, it was seen that there was a slight decrease in the removal efficiencies in the third cycle and the stable and active structure of the catalyst was preserved to the desired extent. Furthermore, the oxidation reaction was in good agreement with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the degradability, mineralization, proposed decomposition pathway, intermediate products, and toxicity of effluent from trichlorfon (TCF) degradation in water by UV/sulfite-advanced reduction process (UV/S-ARP). This study was experimentally performed in a photochemical reactor as a batch operation. The source of light was a UV lamp. Sulfite ion was used as the reducing agent. After the treatment, the residual concentration of TCF was measured by liquid chromatography equipped with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). UV/S-ARP had the highest performance at an initial pH of 7, a sulfite ion concentration of 120 mg/L, a contact time of 60 min, and a TCF concentration of 10 mg/L. Under such conditions, the degradation efficiency of TCF was 96.0%, and the amount of mineralization based on the removal of TOC and COD was 74.6% and 79.5%, respectively. The results of the degradation mechanism showed that eaq- and SO3•- have played the greatest role in dechlorination and transformation of TCF. Based on the identified intermediates, more complex compounds are transformed into compounds with simpler structures by UV/S-ARP. Evaluating the toxicity of TCF by-products via ECOSAR bioassay showed that as-generated intermediates do not have acute and chronic adverse effects on fish. The results of our study indicated that the advanced reduction process could be an effective process for the purification of TCF-contaminated water.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 302:114002. [PMID: 34731707 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.114002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Revised: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the iron-containing smectite nontronite (NNT) was artificially prepared by hydrothermal process and used as a heterogeneous catalyst to activate bisulfite (BS) for degradation of tetracycline (TC). Two NNT samples with different iron content (NNT1 and NNT2) were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS and SEM-EDS analysis. Under dark condition, the TC removal rates of NNT1/BS and NNT2/BS reached about 91.7% and 95.5% respectively at 60 min. Due to the heterogeneous catalysis of structural Fe(III), the NNT catalysts showed great catalytic activity and low iron leaching at the pH range 3.0-7.5. In addition, NNT particles were also stable and reusable in activating BS for TC removal. According to the EPR and radical quenching experiments, it could be proved that the precursor radical •SO3- was first generated in NNT/BS system, then •SO4- and •OH were the active species that played a role in TC degradation. The synthetic NNT clay is a promising Fe-based catalyst for treatment of TC wastewater thanks to its high activity, good stability and effective reusability.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131759. [PMID: 34388433 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2021] [Revised: 07/10/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Considering the complexity of traditional cobalt phosphide (Co2P) loaded biochar synthesis research on a simple and efficient synthesis method has practical significance. In this study, after phosphoric acid activation, Neosinocalamus affinis biochar (NAB) and nanoplate Co3O4 quickly formed a Co2P-NAB composite material with high Co2P crystallinity and was uniformly dispersed on the surface of NAB in a microwave reactor. Co2P-NAB has an excellent catalytic degradation effect in the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade tetracycline (TC). The optimal TC degradation efficiency was achieved with the addition of 50 mg L-1 TC concentration, 0.2 g L-1 catalysts, 0.406 mM PMS and pH = 6.02. In addition, according to the pseudo-first-order reaction rate constant calculation, the composite of Co2P-NAB and PMS the synergy efficiency is 81.55 %. Compared with Co2P-NAB (10.83 %) and PMS (7.62 %) alone, the Co2P-NAB/PMS system has a significant promotion effect on the degradation of TC molecules. Additionally, the Co2P-NAB/PMS system had a TC mineralization rate of 68 % in 30 min. Furthermore, after a series of characterization, detection and analysis, and influencing factor experiments, we proposed a potential mechanism for the Co2P-NAB/PMS reaction system to degrade TC and found that singlet oxygen (1O2) plays an essential role in the non-radical degradation process. Finally, according to the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) detection of TC degradation intermediates, a possible degradation route was proposed. Therefore, this work uses microwave technology to present a novel and simple synthesis method for transition metal phosphides, which provides potential application value for the treatment of actual wastewater with heterogeneous catalysts.

Graphene-based ZnCr layered double hydroxide nanocomposites as bactericidal agents with high sonophotocatalytic performances for degradation of rifampicin. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131740.

Abstract
Herein, ZnCr layered double hydroxide (ZnCr LDH), and its nanocomposites with GO and rGO were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The samples were characterized using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, BET, and XPS techniques. The sonophotocatalytic activity of the ZnCr LDH, ZnCr LDH/GO, and ZnCr LDH/rGO was investigated via the degradation of rifampicin (RIF) in the ultrasonic bath under visible light irradiation. The synergy index of more than 1 determined for ZnCr LDH/rGO indicated the positive interaction of sonocatalysis and photocatalysis resulted by hybridizing the LDH nanosheets with rGO. The maximum sonophotocatalytic degradation efficiency of 87.3% was achieved in the presence of ZnCr LDH/rGO nanocomposite with the concentration of 1.5 g L-1 for degradation of RIF with an initial concentration of 15 mg L-1 within 60 min sonication under visible light irradiation. The addition of different scavengers indicated that hydroxyl radicals, superoxide anion radicals, and the generated holes played a dominant role in the degradation of the pollutant molecules. A possible degradation mechanism was suggested based on the intermediates. The antibacterial tests confirmed the higher antibacterial activity of ZnCr LDH/GO compared with ZnCr LDH and ZnCr LDH/rGO against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation process (AOP) has attracted widespread attention because it can effectively remove antibiotics in water, but its practical engineering application is limited by the problems of the low efficiency and difficult recovery of the catalyst. In the study, nano-spinel CoFe2O4 was prepared by hydrothermal method and served as the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) catalyst to degrade antibiotic amoxicillin (AMX). The reaction parameters such as CoFe2O4 dosage, AMX concentration, and initial pH value were also optimized. The reaction mechanism was proposed through free radical capture experiment and possible degradation pathway analysis. In addition, the magnetic recovery performance and stability of the catalyst were evaluated. Results showed that 85.5% of AMX could be removed within 90 min at optimal conditions. Sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radicals were the active species for AMX degradation. Moreover, the catalyst showed excellent magnetism and stability in the cycle experiment, which has great potential in the AOP treatment of antibiotic polluted wastewater.

Abstract
In this work, for the first time, a new magnetic cadmium-based MOFs (Fe3O4@Cd-MOF) was successfully synthesized in a green way and then modified with chitosan (CS) in the microsphere form (Fe3O4@Cd-MOF@CS). The obtained materials were fully characterized by several techniques. In the following, the efficiency of Fe3O4@Cd-MOF@CS was explored for the removal of amoxicillin (AMX). The outcome of the adsorption study showed that the removal efficiency is affected by CS and reaches its optimum at pH 8 and contact time of 240 min. Under optimized conditions, over 75% of AMX was removed. The kinetic and the isotherm of the adsorption were fit with the pseudo-second-order model and the Langmuir adsorption isotherm respectively. Eventually, the maximum adsorption capacity was obtained ~103.09 mg/g. Interestingly, these findings convince that the newly prepared Fe3O4@Cd-MOF@CS could be proposed as a promising magnetically separable adsorbent for antibiotic contaminants removal from the aqueous solution.

Abstract
Recently, an increasing number of works have been reported about iron-based materials applied as catalysts in peroxide activation processes to degrade pollutants in water. Iron-based catalysts include synthetic and natural iron-based materials. However, some synthetic iron-based materials are difficult to scale up in the practical applications due to high cost and serious secondary environmental pollution. In contrast, natural iron-based minerals are more available and cheaper, and also hold a great promise in peroxide activation processes for pollutant degradation. In this review, we classify different natural iron-based materials into two categories: iron oxide minerals (e.g., magnetite, hematite, and goethite,), and iron sulfide minerals (e.g., pyrite and pyrrhotite,). Their overview applications in peroxide activation processes for pollutant degradation in wastewaters are systematically summarized for the first time. Moreover, the peroxide activation mechanisms induced by natural minerals, and the influences of reaction conditions in different systems are discussed. Finally, the application prospects and existing drawbacks of natural iron-based minerals in the peroxide activation processes for wastewater treatment are proposed. We believe this review can shed light on the application of natural iron-based minerals in peroxide activation processes and present better perspectives for future researches.

Abstract
PURPOSE The 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is the major explosive extensively applied in demolition of structure, military activity, and mining industry. This research was investigating the degradation rate of TNT in aqueous solution using electrochemical combined with persulfate anions. METHODS In this study, the effect of seven independent variables including pH, reaction time, current density, type (NaCl, Na2SO4, NaNO3) and concentration of salts, initial concentration of TNT, scavenger type, and persulfate concentration were studied on TNT removal. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied to measure TNT concentration. RESULTS The findings indicated that the optimum conditions for TNT reduction were pH = 5, time = 45 min, current density = 1.75 mA/cm2, initial concentration of TNT = 25 mg/l, persulfate concentration = 0.3 mg/l, and Na2SO4 concentration = 1.75 mg/l which the removal rate of TNT was found to be 88.0 ± 4.4%. CONCLUSION According to the findings, electrocoagulation procedure is suggested as an applicable method in TNT reduction from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts for persulfate activation were synthesized using ferrocene and carbon nanofiber as precursor by one-pot hydrothermal method and their performances of catalysts for persulfate activation were evaluated via ibuprofen degradation efficiencies. The structure of the catalyst was identified as carbon encapsulated Fe3O4 grafted on carbon nanofibers (Fe3O4@C/CNFs) by multiple characterization methods. The CNF supporter could greatly reduce the magnetization of Fe3O4 and increase the coercivity, which effectively avoided agglomeration. The specific surface area of the Fe3O4@C/CNFs was determined as 65.36 m2/g. The Fe3O4@C/CNFs exhibited high catalytic performances for persulfate activation and ibuprofen could be completely removed in the system with an activation energy of 23.51 kJ/mol. The degradation efficiencies increased with the Fe loading, catalyst dosage and persulfate concentration. The catalysts also showed stable activity with minimal metal leaking over five cycles. Hydroxyl and sulfate radicals were verified by spin-trapping and scavenger experiments and principally contributed to ibuprofen degradation. The possible ibuprofen degradation pathways were elucidated based on intermediate analysis. This work would promote the applications of sulfate radical based advanced oxidation processes for the environmental remediation.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the photocatalytic performance of biochar (BC)-incorporated Zn-Co-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanostructures in gemifloxacin (GMF) degradation as a model pharmaceutical pollutant. The as-prepared Zn-Co-LDH@BC showed high photocatalytic efficiency due to the enhanced separation of photo-generated charge carriers using cobalt hydroxide as well as inhibiting the agglomeration of LDH nanostructures by incorporation of BC. According to the results, 92.7% of GMF was degraded through photocatalysis in the presence of Zn-Co-LDH catalyst. The photocatalytic performance of BC-incorporated Zn-Co-LDH was highly dependent on the solute concentration and photocatalyst dosage. The addition of ethanol caused more inhibiting effect than that of benzoquinone (BQ), indicating the major role of •OH in decomposition of GMF compared to the negligible role of O2•-. A greater enhancement in the photocatalytic degradation of GMF was obtained when the photoreactor containing Zn-Co-LDH@BC nanostructures was oxygenated. Less than 10% drop in the removal efficiency of GMF was observed within five successive operational runs. The results of chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis indicated the COD removal efficiency of about 80% within 200 min, indicating the acceptable mineralization of GMF. The reaction pathways were also proposed for the photocatalytic conversion of GMF under UV light irradiation.

[PMID: 31450382 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2019.05.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2019] [Revised: 05/20/2019] [Accepted: 05/25/2019] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
The paper presents the results of investigations on the effectiveness and reaction rate constants of the oxidation of sulfide ions and organic sulfides in real industrial effluents from the production of bitumens (2000 mg S2- L-1) using hydrodynamic and acoustic cavitation. The content of the effluents was analysed in terms carbon disulfide, dimethyl sulfide, and di-tert-butyl disulfide concentration. A possibility of complete oxidation of sulfides by cavitation alone as well as by its combination with external oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone or peroxone was demonstrated. The oxidation time for the most effective processes is as little as 15 min. Due to the presence of sulfide ions, the effluents from the production of bitumens were oxidized at a strongly alkaline pH. The results of this study reveal the advantage of performing advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) at a basic pH. The effective degradation of sulfide ions enables performance of further degradation of organic contaminants at an acidic pH, ensuring high efficiency of treatment based, for example, on the Fenton reaction without the risk of release of hydrogen sulfide to the atmosphere. The results of this research are applicable to all kinds of caustic effluents for which the lack of possibility of pH adjustment limits their efficient treatment.

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.

Enteromorpha prolifera-derived Fe 3C/C composite as advanced catalyst for hydroxyl radical generation and efficient removal for organic dye and antibiotic.

Abstract
Enteromorpha prolifera-derived Fe3C/C composite has been fabricated through a facile one-step calcination method. As an advanced Fenton-like catalyst, the obtained Fe3C/C composite displayed high catalytic reactivity to generate hydroxyl radicals. It is worth to note that the removal rate of methylene blue (MB) could effectively reach 100% in a wide pH range (pH = 2˜12) and the maximum degradation capacity of the composite is 660 mg/g. The stability and reusability of Fe3C/C composite catalyst have also been tested, which could remain the removal rate at 100% after 6 consecutive runs. To illustrate the practical application possibility, the Fe3C/C composite catalyst was used for degradation of papermaking and dyeing waste water, which could reduce the COD (chemical oxygen demand) value to less than 50. Additionally, the antibiotic norfloxacin (NOR) could also be catalytically removed by the Fe3C/C composite and the possible removal pathway has also been proposed. The excellent removal performance of Fe3C/C composite for MB and NOR may be attributed to the synergistic effect between porous carbon adsorption and Fe3C catalysis. This study not only provides novel insights into recycling of waste biomass, but also paves a new way for the application of Fe3C/C in dyes and antibiotics waste water treatment areas.

Abstract
The aim of the present investigation was the combination of ZnO nanostructures with nano-cellulose (NC) for the efficient degradation of tetracycline (TC) antibiotic under ultrasonic irradiation. The removal efficiency of 12.8% was obtained by the sole use of ultrasound (US), while the removal efficiency increased up to 70% by the US/ZnO treatment process. Due to the integration of ZnO nanostructures with NC, the removal efficiency of 87.6% was obtained within 45 min. The removal efficiency substantially decreased in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol (more than 25% reduction), indicating that radOH-mediation oxidation is responsible for the degradation of TC molecules. Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) led to the most enhancing effect on the removal of TC among percarbonate, persulfate and periodate ions. The addition of PMS caused the degradation efficiency of 96.4% within the short contact time of 15 min. The bio-toxicity examination on the basis of inhibition test conducted on activated sludge revealed diminishing the oxygen consumption inhibition percent [IOUR (%)] from 33.6 to 22.1% during the US/ZnO/NC process. Consequently, the utilization of the US/ZnO/NC process can convert TC molecules to less toxic compounds. However, longer reaction time is required for complete conversion into non-toxic substances.

Abstract
In the present work, the sonocatalytic degradation of butylparaben was investigated using Pd immobilized on carbon black as the sonocatalyst. The presence of 25 mg/L 10Pd/C significantly increased the removal rate of butylparaben and the observed kinetic constant increased from 0.0126 to 0.071 min-1, while the synergy index between sonolysis and adsorption was 70.7%. The BP degradation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with the apparent kinetic constant decreased from 0.071 to 0.030 min-1 when the initial concentration of butylparaben increased from 0.5 to 2 mg/L. The process was being favored slightly under alkaline conditions. The presence of organic matter (20 mg/L humic acid) reduced the apparent kinetic constant more than two times. The addition of chlorides up to 250 mg/L did not significantly reduce the rate of reaction, while the presence of 250 mg/L bicarbonates reduced the observed kinetic constant from 0.071 to 0.0472 min-1. The prepared catalyst retains the efficiency after five subsequent experiments since the apparent kinetic constant was only slightly decreased from 0.071 to 0.059 min-1.
