Xu Y, Chen J. Activity and recyclability enhancement of pH-dependent Fe 0@BC-mediated heterogeneous sodium percarbonate (SPC)-reducing agents (RA) system. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 356:120596.

Abstract
Dyes pose great threats to the aquatic environment and human health. Fe0-based Fenton-like systems have been widely employed for the degradation of organic dyes. However, the regulation of degradability and recyclability was still unclear. In this study, Rhodamine B (RhB) was served as the model pollutant, hydroxylamine hydrochloride was selected as the RA, the natural photocatalysis system demonstrated stable operation. RA, as performance enhancement agent, was firstly reported in micro/nano-Zero-Valent Iron@Biochar (m/nZVI@BC) based SPC-RA system. Carrier size-fractionated m/nZVI@BC was fabricated by one-step carbothermal method. As a result, RA synergistically interacted with SPC, and the reaction time reduced from 15 min to 4 min. In the 0.010 g m/nZVI@BC-mediated SPC-RA system, over 95% of RhB (100 mg·L-1, 1041.667 mg·g-1) was successfully degraded. The maximum degradation ability could still exceed 1g·g-1 via 5 times repeated applications. Meanwhile, the loss of degradability, caused by halving SPC concentration could be compensated by RA dosage measurement. The entire degradation process was predominantly dominated by free radicals (•OH> 1O2> •O2-> •CO3-). Reactive oxidizing species (ROSs) were primarily excited by α-Fe0, Fe3C and N sites of biochar (BC). Light and BC carrier dedicated slight influence. These discoveries shed a light on the activity and recyclability regulation of catalytic material, aligning with the principles of green chemistry and cleaner production. This study demonstrates a novel approach to efficient management of solid waste disposal, reuse of waste biomass, advanced treatment of dye-containing wastewater, pollution control in aquatic environments.

Cationic and anionic cross-assisted synergistic photocatalytic removal of binary organic dye mixture using Ni-doped perovskite oxide. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 340:139890.

Abstract
Organic dyes present in industrial wastewater are the major contributor to water pollution, which harm human health and the environment. Photocatalytic dye degradation is an effective strategy for water remediation by converting these organic dyes waste into non-harmful by-products. Therefore, in this study, Ni-doped LaFeO3 (NLFO) perovskite nanoparticles were extensively explored for photocatalytic degradation of cationic and anionic dyes and their mixture. The NLFO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by surfactant assisted hydrothermal method under controlled Ni doping. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) revealed the variation in size (40-70 nm) of orthorhombic crystalline LFO nanoparticles with Ni doping and hence the size of microspheres (0.78. to 1.78 μm). The kinetic studies revealed that the LaFe0·6Ni0·4O3 performed well by providing degradation efficiency of 99.2% in 210 min, 99.1% in 100 min, and 98.4% in 70 min for Crystal Violet (CV), Congo Red (CR), and their mixture with rate constant of 0.019, 0.039, and 0.055 min-1 respectively. The radical scavenger tests indicated the synergetic contributions of O2- and •OH- active radicals in faster degradation of CV and CR dye mixture. The stepwise fragmentation of dye molecule during the photocatalytic degradation identified from the LCMS indicates the degradation of CV dye through de-alkylation and benzene ring breaking, whereas azo bond cleavage and oxidation lead to low molecular weight intermediates for CR dye, which all together helped to degrade their dye mixture (50 mg L-1 and 100 mg L-1) in significantly lesser time (70 min). Overall, the Ni-doped LFO microsphere consisting of nanoparticles acts as a superior catalyst for the more efficient and faster degradation of binary dye mixture.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 313:137509. [PMID: 36495983 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Visible-light-driven heterogeneous photo-Fenton process has emerged as the most promising Fenton-derived technology for wastewater decontamination, owing to its prominent superiorities including the potential utilization of clean energy (solar light), and acceleration of ≡Fe(II)/≡Fe(III) dynamic cycle. As the core constituent, catalysts play a pivotal role in the photocatalytic activation of H2O2 to yield reactive oxidative species (ROS). To date, all types of iron-based heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalysts (Fe-HPFCs) have been extensively reported by the scientific community, and exhibited satisfactory catalytic performance towards pollutants decomposition, sometimes even exceeding the homogeneous counterparts (Fe(II)/H2O2). However, the relevant reviews on Fe-HPFCs, especially from the viewpoint of catalyst-self design are extremely limited. Therefore, this state-of-the-art review focuses on the available Fe-HPFCs in literatures, and gives their classification based on their self-characteristics and modification strategies for the first time. Two classes of representative Fe-HPFCs, conventional inorganic semiconductors of Fe-containing minerals and newly emerging Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) are comprehensively summarized. Moreover, three universal strategies including (i) transition metal (TMs) doping, (ii) construction of heterojunctions with other semiconductors or plasmonic materials, and (iii) combination with supporters were proposed to tackle their inherent defects, viz., inferior light-harvesting capacity, fast recombination of photogenerated carriers, slow mass transfer and low exposure and uneven dispersion of active sites. Lastly, a critical emphasis was also made on the challenges and prospects of Fe-HPFCs in wastewater treatment, providing valuable guidance to researchers for the reasonable construction of high-performance Fe-HPFCs.

Abstract
The present study reports the synthesis of nanocrystalline LaFe0.5Cr0.5O3 via a solvent-free combustion method using glycine, poly(vinyl alcohol), and urea as fuels, with superior photocatalytic activity. Rietveld refinement and powder X-ray diffraction data of nanomaterials demonstrate the existence of an orthorhombic phase that corresponds to the Pbnm space group. The crystallite size of nanoperovskite samples lies in the range of 20.9-36.4 nm. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of the LaFe0.5Cr0.5O3 fabricated using urea is found to be higher than that of the samples prepared using other fuels. The magnetic measurements of all samples done using a SQUID magnetometer showed a dominant antiferromagnetic character along with some weak ferromagnetic interactions. The optical band gap of all nanosamples lies in the visible range (2-2.6 eV), making them suitable photocatalysts in visible light. Their use as a photocatalyst for the degradation of the rhodamine B dye (model pollutant) is studied, and it has been observed that the catalyst fabricated using urea shows excellent degradation efficiency for rhodamine B, i.e., 99% in 60 min, with high reusability up to five runs. Additionally, the degradation of other organic dyes such as methylene blue, methyl orange, and a mixture of these dyes (rhodamine B + methylene blue + methyl orange) is also investigated with the most active photocatalyst, i.e., LFCO-U, to check its versatility.

Abstract
In the recent years, perovskite oxides are gaining an increasing amount of attention owing to their unique traits such as tunable electronic structures, flexible composition, and eco-friendly properties. In contrast, their catalytic performance is not satisfactory, which hinders real wastewater remediation. To overcome this shortcoming, various strategies are developed to design new perovskite oxide-based materials to enhance their catalytic activities in advanced oxidation process (AOPs). This review article is to provide overview of basic principle and different methods of AOPs, while the strategies to design novel perovskite oxide-based composites for enhancing the catalytic activities in AOPs have been highlighted. Moreover, the recent progress of their synthesis and applications in wastewater remediation (pertaining to the period 2016-2022) was described, and the related mechanisms were thoroughly discussed. This review article helps scientists to have a clear outlook on the selection and design of new effective perovskite oxide-based materials for the application of AOPs. At the end of the review, perspective on the challenges and future research directions are discussed.

Abstract
Cu and Co have shown superior catalytic performance to other transitional elements, and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have presented advantages over other heterogeneous Fenton catalysts. However, there have been few studies about Co–Cu LDHs as catalysts for organic degradation via the Fenton reaction. Here, we prepared a series of Co–Cu LDH catalysts by a co-precipitation method under different synthesis temperatures and set Rhodamine B (RhB) as the target compound. The structure-performance relationship and the influence of reaction parameters were explored. A study of the Fenton-like reaction was conducted over Co–Cu layered hydroxide catalysts, and the variation of synthesis temperature greatly influenced their Fenton-like catalytic performance. The Co–Cut=65°C catalyst with the strongest LDH structure showed the highest RhB removal efficiency (99.3% within 30 min). The change of synthesis temperature induced bulk-phase transformation, structural distortion, and metal–oxygen (M–O) modification. An appropriate temperature improved LDH formation with defect sites and lengthened M–O bonds. Co–Cu LDH catalysts with a higher concentration of defect sites promoted surface hydroxide formation for H2O2 adsorption. These oxygen vacancies (Ovs) promoted electron transfer and H2O2 dissociation. Thus, the Co–Cu LDH catalyst is an attractive alternative organic pollutants treatment.

Abstract
The effect of ion doping and the incorporation of additives on photocatalysts’ textural properties have been reviewed. Generally, it can be summarised that ion doping and additives have beneficial effects on photocatalytic efficiency and not all have an increase in the surface area. The excessive amount of dopants and additives will produce larger aggregated particles and also cover the mesoporous structures, thereby increasing the pore size (Pd) and pore volume (Pv). An excessive amount of dopants also leads to visible light shielding effects, thus influence photocatalytic performance. Ion doping also shows some increment in the surface areas, but it has been identified that synergistic effects of the surface area, porosity, and dopant amount contribute to the photocatalytic performance. It is therefore important to understand the effect of doping and the application of additives on the textural properties of photocatalysts, thus, their performance. This review will provide an insight into the development of photocatalyst with better performance for wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
Chromium-containing electroplating sludge usually lacked proper disposal and recycling. High-temperature melting was a technology aiming to form glass-phase slag for the stabilizations of heavy metals. This work investigated the possibility of forming perovskite-like phase by chromium-containing sludge using high-temperature melting. The formed material was applied in catalytic oxidization of volatile organic compound. As a result, Ca2+-doped LaCrO3 was formed according to XRD and HRTEM. When Ca2+ doping reached 33%, i.e., La0.67Ca0.33CrO3, surface oxygen species of the obtained catalyst was increased to 65.7%, which was detected by XPS, resulting in a toluene removal of 50% at 302 °C. Besides, the activity was stable for over 50 h. In addition, the doping amount was as high as 40 mol% of Cr in the catalyst. Based on these results, a high-value-added catalyst was produced by the hazardous waste, which was in favor of hazardous-waste recycling as well as high-temperature-melting development.

Abstract
Pyrite is widely used in Fenton reaction for degradation of pollutants and exhibits great potential for environmental remediation, however, its efficiency is greatly compromised by extra H2O2 and pH adjustment. Herein, a pyrite based green solar photo-Fenton system for carbamazepine (CBZ) treatment is constructed, involving the use of simulated sunlight and natural organic acids with in situ-generated H2O2 and without extra pH adjustment. The addition of organic acids including tartaric acid (TA), citric acid (CA), and ascorbic acid (AA) can form complex with iron in pyrite, which promotes the Fe(II) dissolution. Upon irradiation, pyrite could be excited to produce photoelectrons, which would reduce oxygen to produce H2O2 through a two-step route assisted by organic acids. The simulated sunlight and organic acids promoted the in-situ production of H2O2 and Fe(II) species, sustaining an efficient Fenton reaction. This produced massive hydroxyl radical (OH), as demonstrated by the active species capture experiment. Compared with no degradation of CBZ under pure pyrite, the degradation efficiency of CBZ reached to 70%, 60%, and 53% in pyrite/TA, pyrite/CA, pyrite/AA within 30 min under simulated solar light irradiation, respectively. This work reports the first use of natural pyrite, a typical Fe-mineral semiconductor, to produce OH for CBZ degradation through natural additive assisted Fenton reaction excluding the adding extra H2O2 and pH adjustment.

Mesoporous LaFeO3: Synergistic Effect of Adsorption and Visible Light Photo-Fenton Processes for Phenol Removal from Refinery Wastewater. J CHEM-NY 2021. [DOI: 10.1155/2021/5841066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Mesoporous LaFeO3 as a visible light-driven photocatalyst was prepared by a nanocasting method using mesoporous silica (SBA-15) as a hard template. The as-prepared LaFeO3 photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and optical absorption spectra. The characterization studies and experimental results showed that LaFeO3 with porous structure caused by the removal of SBA-15 hard template could enhance the specific surface area of the resulting photocatalyst, which improves the phenol adsorption ability of the photocatalyst and in turn enhances its photo-Fenton catalytic activity. The photo-Fenton catalytic activity of the photocatalyst was investigated by photo-Fenton degradation of aqueous phenol under visible light irradiation. The effects of catalyst dosage, H2O2 concentration, and solution pH on the photo-Fenton catalytic degradation of phenol using mesoporous LaFeO3 were studied and optimized. Under the optimal conditions of 20 mg L−1 phenol, 1.0 g L−1 catalyst, and 10 mM H2O2 at pH = 5, the photo-Fenton degradation of phenol (93.47%) was achieved in 180 min under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, our results proved the stability and reusability of mesoporous LaFeO3 and revealed its catalytic mechanism for the photo-Fenton degradation of phenol.

Mostafa MM, El Saied M, Morshedy AS. Novel Calcium Carbonate-titania nanocomposites for enhanced sun light photo catalytic desulfurization process. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2019; 250:109462. [PMID: 31472372 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.109462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2019] [Revised: 07/05/2019] [Accepted: 08/21/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Preparation of active photocatalytic nanostructures to harvest the abundant sunlight energy is a recent worldwide direction for clean energy production and environmental management. Following this target, different calcium carbonate-titania nanostructures were prepared by three different pathways using available raw materials such as limestone as calcium precursor. After characterization of the prepared materials with X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) patterns, Fourier transmission infrared (FT-IR), high resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, UV-vis diffuse reflectance and photoluminance (PL), the materials were applied as novel photocatalysts for desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and gas oil using different radiation sources at room temperature. It has been obtained that, 95% desulfurization of DBT was possible under 1 h visible light irradiation with linear halogen lamp (LHL) at catalyst/DBT-solution = 10 g/L, while ultra-clean diesel production (99% removal, 3.47 ppm) could be obtained via normal sunlight photochemical desulfurization of diesel fuel by calcium carbonate titania photocatalyst in presence of H2O2 and acetic acid as oxidizing agents and acetonitrile as a solvent. Here, the followed preparation pathway produced highly active calcium titanate photocatalysts with tunable band gap energy (2.05 eV), reduced electrons/hole pairs recombination and stable photocatalytic activity with enhanced visible light removal of organosulfur compounds for economic ultra-clean fuel production, pollution control, and environmental management.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2019; 239:333-341. [PMID: 30921752 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.03.079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2018] [Revised: 03/11/2019] [Accepted: 03/16/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
This work aims to investigate the potential of Jordanian raw zeolitic tuff (RZT) as oil adsorbent for oil-contaminated water. As hydrophobic properties are the primary determinants of effective oil adsorbents, the hydrophobicity of RZT was enhanced by dealumination process; since the degree of hydrophobicity of zeolites is directly dependent on their aluminum content. The microemulsion modification of the dealuminated zeolitic tuff (TZT) was also applied to increase its hydrophobicity. The raw and modified tuffs were characterized in terms of the surface area and porosity (BET), mineral composition (XRD), microstructure and morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In this work, a mixture of water and kerosene was used to examine the hydrophobic/organophilic character of raw and modified zeolitic tuff. Water/dodecane and water/octane mixtures were used to study the kinetics of the adsorption over zeolitic tuff. The results revealed that the sorption capacity using kerosene as a mixed model (water-oil) was enhanced by three- and four-fold for TZT and micro-emulsified zeolitic (MeTZT) tuff respectively. The adsorption capacity of modified zeolitic was compared with that of activated carbon adsorbents.
