A review of the present methods used to remediate soil and water contaminated with organophosphate esters and developmental directions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 475:134834. [PMID: 38889460 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134834] [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: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are widely used commercial additives, but their environmental persistence and toxicity raise serious concerns necessitating associated remediation strategies. Although there are various existing technologies for OPE removal, comprehensive screening for them is urgently needed to guide further research. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the techniques used to remove OPEs from soil and water, including their related influencing factors, removal mechanisms/degradation pathways, and practical applications. Based on an analysis of the latest literature, we concluded that (1) methods used to decontaminate OPEs include adsorption, hydrolysis, photolysis, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), activated sludge processes, and microbial degradation; (2) factors such as the quantity/characteristics of the catalysts/additives, pH value, inorganic ion concentration, and natural organic matter (NOM) affect OPE removal; (3) primary degradation mechanisms involve oxidation induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) (including •OH and SO4•-) and degradation pathways include hydrolysis, hydroxylation, oxidation, dechlorination, and dealkylation; (5) interference from the pH value, inorganic ion and the presence of NOM may limit complete mineralization during the treatment, impacting practical application of OPE removal techniques. This review provides guidance on existing and potential OPE removal methods, providing a theoretical basis and innovative ideas for developing more efficient and environmentally friendly techniques to treat OPEs in soil and water.

Erden B, Sınmaz GK, Tanattı NP, Aksu M, Şengil İA. Investigation of the removal of diclofop methyl herbicide by peroxy electrocoagulation process and kinetic and cost analysis. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:29294-29303. [PMID: 38573582 PMCID: PMC11058591 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33163-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Pesticides containing chlorine, which are released during agricultural activities, are chemical substances that mix with surface and underground waters and have toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic effects on the entire living ecosystem. Due to their chemically stable structure, conventional water and wastewater treatment techniques such as coagulation, flocculation, and biological oxidation do not entirely remove these chemical substances. Therefore, before releasing them into the environmental receptor, these chemical substances must be transformed into harmless products or mineralized through advanced oxidation processes. When we look at the literature, there are not many studies on methods of removing diclofop methyl from aquatic media. Our study on the removal of diclofop methyl herbicide from aquatic media using the peroxy electrocoagulation method will provide the first information on this subject in the literature. In addition, this treatment method will contribute significantly to filling an important gap in the literature as an innovative approach for diclofop methyl removal. Moreover, peroxy electrocoagulation, which produces less sludge, provides treatment in a short time, and is economical, has been determined to be an advantageous process. The effects of conductivity, pH, H2O2 concentration, current, and time parameters on the removal of diclofop methyl were investigated using a GC-MS instrument. Kinetics, energy consumption, and cost calculations were also made. Under the optimum conditions determined (pH = 5, H2O2 = 500 mg/L, NaCl = 0.75 g/L, current density = 2.66 mA/cm2), the peroxydic electrocoagulation process resulted in a diclofop methyl removal efficiency of 79.2% after a 25-min reaction. When the experimental results were analyzed, it was found that the results fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Abstract
Our objective in this study is to fabricate a novel chitosan-based ternary nanocomposite hydrogel film by incorporating graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets into a chitosan/partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) network to boost adsorption efficiency through one step self-assembly process in water. Basically, H-bonding interactions drive the formation of a crosslinking network structure. The Batch adsorption experiments evaluated the hydrogel nanocomposite's MB adsorption performance. By loading GO, surface roughness, swelling percentage (from 21,200 % to 35,800 %), elastic modulus of up to 73.7 Pa, and adsorption characteristics (from 282 mg/g to 468 mg/g) were enhanced. The nanocomposite displayed outstanding thermally/pH responsiveness properties. MB adsorption equilibrium was reached after 45 min and the adsorption capacity was 476.19 mg.g-1 when the initial concentration was 100 mg/L. The MB adsorption kinetics and isotherms by the nanocomposite were well correlated by the PSO and the Langmuir models (R2 > 0.99), respectively. The loaded nanocomposite was shown to be regenerative for five cycles through desorption studies. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that MB adsorption occurred spontaneously (ΔG°: -16.47 kJ/mol, 303 K) and exothermically (ΔH°: -79.49 kJ/mol). A plausible adsorption mechanism was proposed for the nanocomposite developed for MB removal. Our results can contribute to the design and fabrication of nanocomposite adsorbents to treat wastewater.

Abstract
The greatest volume of by-products produced in oil and gas recovery operations is referred to as produced water and increasing environmental concerns and strict legislations on discharging it into the environment cause to more attention for focusing on degradation methods for treatment of produced water especially electrochemical technologies. This article provides an overview of electrochemical technologies for treating oily wastewater and produced water, including: electro-coagulation, electro-Fenton, electrochemical oxidation and electrochemical membrane reactor as a single stage and combination of these technologies as multi-stage treatment process. Many researchers have carried out experiments to examine the impact of various factors such as material (i.e, electrode material) and operational conditions (i.e., potential, current density, pH, electrode distance, and other factors) for organic elimination to obtain the high efficiency. Results of each method are reviewed and discussed according to these studies, comprehensively. Furthermore, several challenges need to be overcome and perspectives for future study are proposed for each method.

Abstract
The rapid growth of population and industrialization have intensified the problem of water pollution globally. To meet the challenge of industrialization, the use of synthetic dyes in the textile industry, dyeing and printing industry, tannery and paint industry, paper and pulp industry, cosmetic and food industry, dye manufacturing industry, and pharmaceutical industry has increased exponentially. Among these industries, the textile industry is prominent for the water pollution due to the hefty consumption of water and discharge of coloring materials in the effluent. The discharge of this effluent into the aquatic reservoir affects its biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), and pH. The release of the effluents without any remedial treatment will generate a gigantic peril to the aquatic ecosystem and human health. The ecological-friendly treatment of the dye-containing wastewater to minimize the detrimental effect on human health and the environment is the need of the hour. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the catastrophic effects of textile dyes on human health and the environment. This review provides a comprehensive insight into the dyes and chemicals used in the textile industry, focusing on the typical treatment processes for their removal from industrial wastewaters, including chemical, biological, physical, and hybrid techniques.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells have emerged as a technique that can effectively treat wastewater with simultaneous electricity generation. The present study explored the performance of microbial fuel cell for decolorizing and degradation of azo dyes including, remazol brilliant blue (RBB), mordant blue 9 (MB9), acid red1 (AR1), and orange G (OG), while, simultaneously generating electricity. Wheat straw and its hydrolysate was used as a potential substrate in MFC. The hydrolysate was prepared through the degradation of wheat straw by P. floridensis, P. brevispora and P. chrysosporium, while the yeast Pichia fermentans was used as biocatalyst. Dye decolorization was carried out in a fungus-yeast mediated single-chambered MFC batch mode, U-shaped reactor, and bottle reactor in continuous mode. The maximum power density recorded in U shaped continuous reactor was 34.99 mW m-2 on 21st day of the experiment. The best response of dye decolorization was observed in the case of MB9 (96%) with P. floridensis in the continuous electrochemical reactor followed by RBB (90-95%), OG (76%), and AR1 (38%). The toxicity of the treated wastewater was assessed using phytotoxicity analysis.

Abstract
Amplified anthropogenic release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) gets worse air quality and human health. Photocatalytic degradation of VOCs is the practical strategy due to its low cost, simplicity, high efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Different types of photocatalyst activated by UV and visible lights are applied for VOC degradation. This review tries to investigate the state-of-art of recently published papers on this subject with a focus on the high-efficiency photocatalyst. The novel photocatalysts are introduced and enhancing photocatalytic activity strategies such as the hybrid of two/three photocatalyst, impurity doping, and heterojunctions with narrow bandgap semiconductors have been explained. The procedures of visible light activation of the photocatalysts are discussed with attention to current problems and future challenges. In addition, effective operational parameters in the photocatalytic degradation of VOCs have been reviewed with their advantages and drawbacks. A series of strategies are developed for the efficient utilization of visible light photocatalysts and improving new materials or design structures to degrade produced toxic intermediates/by-products during photocatalytic degradation of VOCs. This review shows that there are significant challenges in the applications of photocatalysts in the selective removal of VOCs. Several approaches should be combined to produce synergistic effects, which may lead to much higher photocatalytic performance than individual strategies. Another challenge is to develop efficient photocatalysts to meet real problems on an industrial scale.

Abstract
This study compares the efficiencies of active (Ti/TiO2-RuO2-IrO2 (TIR)) and inactive (Ni/Boron Doped Diamond (BDD)) anodes in terms of pollutant treatment and by-product formation in pretreated (chemical coagulation) landfill leachate nanofiltration membrane concentrate (PLNC). PLNC has high chemical oxygen demand (COD:4900 mg/L), total organic carbon (TOC: 1874 mg/L), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN: 520 mg/L), ammonium nitrogen (NH3-N: 21.35 mg/L), chloride (5700 mg/L) and sulfate (9000 mg/L - due to coagulant type). The parameters of COD, TOC, NH3-N, TKN, free and combined chlorine species, halogenated organic compounds (HOCs), adsorbable organic halogens (AOX), and nitrate at different current density (J: 111-555 A/m2) and initial pH (pHi:3.5-7) were compared for both anodes. The removal efficiencies at the optimum conditions (pHi 5.5, 333 A/m2 and 8 h) were obtained as 86.4% COD, 77.4% TOC, 93.4% TKN, 94.4% NH3-N with BDD and 34.3% COD, 27.3% TOC, 93.7% TKN, 97.4% NH3-N with TIR. According to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) results obtained under optimum conditions, haloalkane/alkene, halonitroalkane, halonitrile, haloketone, haloalcohols, haloacids, haloaldehydes, haloamines/amides on both electrodes were detected as species of HOCs. In addition, the highest nitrate concentration was observed at the TIR anode, while the highest AOX concentration was observed at the BDD anode.

Abstract
Fenton process is the most popular for wastewater treatment among all available advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Numerous endeavors have been devoted to improving the oxidation efficiency of Fenton reaction in terms of promoting ·OH generation, accelerating iron redox cycle and extending applicable pH range. However, in addition to oxidation, coagulation and adsorption also simultaneously occur in the Fenton process, which play important role in the removal of pollutants. Rapid progress has revealed the synergistic effects of oxidation, coagulation and adsorption in the Fenton process, providing new ideas for the treatment of complex and refractory wastewater. Based on available studies, this review is the first to systematically summarize the research progress regarding the synergistic effects of oxidation, coagulation and adsorption in the integrated Fenton-based processes for wastewater treatment. The involved mechanism of the synergistic effects in different Fenton processes (homogeneous Fenton, heterogeneous Fenton and physical field-assistant Fenton coupling process) are critically reviewed. Furthermore, special attention has been paid to the representative applications of the synergistic effects in wastewater treatment (such as industrial organic wastewater, landfill leachate and heavy metal-organic complexes, etc.), particularly focusing on the operation parameters and removal performance. Finally, a conclusion of the review and subsequently, perspectives are given for possible research directions. We believe this review can provide useful information for researchers and end-users involved in the development and application of the Fenton process in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The synthetic dyes used in the textile industry pollute a large amount of water. Textile dyes do not bind tightly to the fabric and are discharged as effluent into the aquatic environment. As a result, the continuous discharge of wastewater from a large number of textile industries without prior treatment has significant negative consequences on the environment and human health. Textile dyes contaminate aquatic habitats and have the potential to be toxic to aquatic organisms, which may enter the food chain. This review will discuss the effects of textile dyes on water bodies, aquatic flora, and human health. Textile dyes degrade the esthetic quality of bodies of water by increasing biochemical and chemical oxygen demand, impairing photosynthesis, inhibiting plant growth, entering the food chain, providing recalcitrance and bioaccumulation, and potentially promoting toxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity. Therefore, dye-containing wastewater should be effectively treated using eco-friendly technologies to avoid negative effects on the environment, human health, and natural water resources. This review compares the most recent technologies which are commonly used to remove dye from textile wastewater, with a focus on the advantages and drawbacks of these various approaches. This review is expected to spark great interest among the research community who wish to combat the widespread risk of toxic organic pollutants generated by the textile industries.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to produce an electrode that can be used in H2O2 production and Electro-Fenton (EF) process by an effective, cheap, and easy method. For this reason, a superhydrophobic electrode with a higher PTFE ratio and high thickness was produced with a simple press. The produced electrode was used in the production of H2O2 and mineralization of Atrazine. First, the effect of pH, cathode voltage, and operation time on H2O2 production was evaluated. The maximum H2O2 concentration (409 mg/L), the highest current efficiency (99.80%), and the lowest electrical energy consumption (3.16 kWh/kg) were obtained at 0.8 V, 7.0 of pH, and 120 min, and the stability of the electrode was evaluated up to 720 min. Then, the effects of the operational conditions (pH, cathode voltage, operating time, and catalyst concentration) in electro-Fenton were evaluated. The fastest degradation of Atrazine (>99%) was obtained at 2.0 V, 3.0 of pH, and 0.3 mM of Fe2+ in 15 min. In the final part of the study, the degradation intermediates were identified, and the characterization of the electrode was evaluated by SEM, XRD, FT-IR, tensiometer, potentiostat, and elemental analyzer.

Abstract
Stormwater harvesting is an effective measure to mitigate flooding risk and pollutant migration in our urban environment with the continuously increasing impermeable faction. Treatment of harvested stormwater also provides the fit-for-purpose water sources as an alternative to potable water supply ensuring the reliability and sustainability of the water management in the living complex. In order to provide the water management decision-maker with a broad range of related technology database and to facilitate the implementation of stormwater harvesting in the future, a comprehensive review was undertaken to understand the corresponding treatment performance, the applicable circumstances of current stormwater treatment and harvesting technologies. Technologies with promising potential for stormwater treatment were also reviewed to investigate the feasibility of being used in an integrated process. The raw stormwater quality and the required quality for different levels of stormwater reuses (irrigation, recreational, and potable) were reviewed and compared. The required level of treatment is defined for different 'fit-for-purpose' uses of harvested stormwater. Stormwater biofilter and constructed wetland as the two most advanced and widely used stormwater harvesting and treatment technologies, their main functionality, treatment performance and adequate scale of the application were reviewed based on published peer-reviewed articles and case studies. Excessive microbial effluent that exists in stormwater treated using these two technologies has restricted the stormwater reuse in most cases. Water disinfection technologies developed for wastewater and surface water treatment but with high potential to be used for stormwater treatment have been reviewed. Their feasibility and limitation for stormwater treatment are presented with respect to different levels of fit-for-purpose reuses. Implications for future implementation of stormwater treatment are made on proposing treatment trains that are suitable for different fit-for-purpose stormwater reuses.

Abstract
Water pollution by toxic substances, such as dye molecules, remains a major environmental problem that needs to be solved. In the present work, the magnetic composite hydrogel based on the poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N-dimethylethan-1-aminium bromide-co-N-isopropylacrylamide) copolymer with incorporated Fe3O4 particles ((poly(DMAEAB-co-NIPAm)@Fe3O4)) was prepared by an in situ synthesis technique for the efficient removal of dye molecules from water. The successfully synthesized magnetic hydrogel was characterized by FTIR, XRD, TGA, and TEM. The removal efficiency of the anionic dye bromophenol blue (BPB) and the cationic dye rhodamine B (RDM) by the prepared hydrogel adsorbents was evaluated. Various adsorption parameters, including the concentration of adsorbents and adsorption time, were also investigated. The results showed that the synthesized magnetic hydrogel had excellent BPB removal performance compared to the removal of RDM. The optimum adsorbent concentration for 0.5 mM BPB solution was approximately 0.5 g/L, and the removal efficiency was more than 99%. The kinetics data of BPB removal fitted well into the pseudo-2nd-order model, indicating that BPB dye adsorption involves chemical adsorption and physical adsorption. In addition, recycling studies were conducted to examine the reusability of the magnetic hydrogel for BPB removal for up to five cycles and the hydrogel could be reused without losing its high removal efficiency. The magnetic hydrogel poly(DMAEAB-co-NIPAm)@Fe3O4 with high removal efficiency, good selectivity, and reusability shows great potential for the removal of anionic dyes in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Electrocoagulation (EC) is one of the emerging technologies in groundwater and wastewater treatment as it combines the benefits of coagulation, sedimentation, flotation, and electrochemical oxidation processes. Extensive research efforts implementing EC technology have been executed over the last decade to treat chemical oxygen demand (COD)-rich industrial wastewaters with the aim to protect freshwater streams (e.g., rivers, lakes) from pollution. A comprehensive review of the available recent literature utilizing EC to treat wastewater with high COD levels is presented. In addition, recommendations are provided for future studies to improve the EC technology and broaden its range of application. This review paper introduces some technologies which are often adopted for industrial wastewater treatment. Then, the EC process is compared with those techniques as a treatment for COD-rich wastewater. The EC process is considered as the most privileged technology by different research groups owing to its ability to deal with abundant volumes of wastewater. After, the application of EC as a single and combined treatment for COD-rich wastewaters is thoroughly reviewed. Finally, this review attempts to highlight the potentials and limitations of EC. Related to the EC process in batch operation mode, the best operational conditions are found at 10 V and 60 min of voltage and reaction time, respectively. These last values guarantee high COD removal efficiencies of > 90%. This review also concludes that considerably large operation costs of the EC process appears to be the serious drawback and renders it as an unfeasible approach for handling of COD rich wastewaters. In the end, this review has attempted to highlights the potential and limitation of EC and suggests that vast notably research in the field of continuous flow EC system is essential to introduce this technology as a convincing wastewater technology.

Abstract
In the present study, heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) process was applied to remove the sulfasalazine (SU) pharmaceutical from aqueous solutions. In the first part, 3D graphene loaded with Fe@Fe2O3 core-shell nanowires (Fe@Fe2O3/3D-GO) was used as a cathode electrode in the EF process. Graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized for the synthesis of 3D graphene nanocomposites using the improved Hummers' method and subsequently 3D graphene synthesized by the hydrothermal method using glycine. Finally, Fe@Fe2O3/3D-GO composite was synthesized and its properties were assessed by Scanning electron microscopy, Atomic force microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction methods. Then, the cathode electrode was prepared using the resulting composite and its performance was evaluated using Cyclic Voltammetry analysis. In the final part of this work, the Fe@Fe2O3/3D-GO electrode was used as the cathode electrode in the heterogeneous EF process to remove SU from aqueous solutions. The effect of operating parameters such as applied current (mA), initial pH of solution, initial pharmaceutical concentration (mg L-1) and process time (min) on pharmaceutical removal efficiency under heterogeneous EF process was investigated by response surface methodology. The results showed that the optimum values for applied current, pH, initial pharmaceutical concentration and electrolysis time were respectively 300 mA, 7, 30 mg L-1 and 100 min, resulting 99.60% of SU removal. Finally, the intermediates of SU degradation were determined by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and the amount of mineralization was determined by total organic carbon analysis. About 5.2% drop in the SU removal efficiency was observed within 8 operational runs.

Abstract
Application of alternating current in electrocoagulation and activation of persulfate (AEC-PS) for the effective removal of humic acid (HA) from aqueous solution was evaluated. In order to optimize the removal efficiency HA by the AEC-PS process, several influencing parameters such as pH, reaction time, PS dose, current density (CD), concentration of NaCl, initial concentration of HA, and coexisting cations and anions influence were investigated. From the batch experiments, the highest HA removal efficiency obtained was 99.4 ± 0.5% at pH of 5, reaction time of 25 min, CD of 4.5 mA/cm2, PS dose of 200 mg/L, and NaCl concentration of 0.75 g/L for an initial HA concentration of 30 mg/L. When CD increased from 1.25 to 4.5 mA/cm2, the HA removal efficiency was improved from 88.8 ± 4.4% to 96.1 ± 1.5%. In addition, the type of coexisting cations and anions exerted a significant role, leading to a reduction in the removal efficiency of HA. To investigate the dominant free activated radical, radical scavengers such as tert-butyl alcohol and ethanol were employed. It was observed that both OH and SO4- radicals substantially contributed to the removal of HA, and the contribution of SO4- radical was higher than that of OH radical, suggesting that AEC-PS process could serve as a novel and effective treatment technique for the removal of organic matters from aqueous sources.

Abstract
Micro-sized zero-valent iron (mZVI) has proven effective for phycocyanin (PC) removal, but efficiency needs to be enhanced. Here, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was used to enhance PC removal by mZVI and the corresponding mechanisms are discussed. The results showed that H2O2 could effectively enhance PC removal by mZVI and the PC removal efficiency increased from 37.8% to 80.6% with 1.5 g/L mZVI in 60 min reaction time. The trends of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) removal were consistent with PC removal. Low pH value, high mZVI dosage, and a suitable amount of H2O2 were conducive to PC removal. The SEM-mapping indicated that PC removal was not primarily by adsorption. Similarly, no obvious change was observed in PC molecular structure based on fluorescence spectroscopy and SDS-PAGE analyses. However, the PC removal mechanism could be inferred from the variation of iron concentration in the process. The coagulation of dissolved iron ions dissolved from mZVI was the main removal pathway. The OH oxidation only accounted for 20% of PC removal. PC removal led to the reduction of disinfection by-products with similar efficiency. The combination of mZVI and H2O2 is a promising strategy for the simultaneous removal of PC and DON in drinking water treatments.

Abstract
Transition metal and nanocarbon-based composites with high activity and stability draw great attention in electro-Fenton system for organic pollutants removal. In this study, HKUST-1-derived Cu@C nanoparticles embedded within three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (rGO) network (denoted as 3DG/Cu@C) is synthesized through a simple strategy. The prepared catalyst shows ordered 3D porous carbon structure and Cu@C NPs are uniformly dispersed in the matrix. The 3DG/Cu@C is used as heterogeneous electro-Fenton (hetero-EF) catalyst and shows outstanding performance in various persistent organic pollutants removal. High concentration Rhodamine B (RhB) (40 mg L-1) can achieve a complete decolorization within 150 min with 25 mg L-1 3DG/Cu@C catalyst, which is one of the lowest catalyst dosages in hetero-EF for RhB removal. More importantly, the 3DG/Cu@C achieves high RhB mineralization efficiency of 81.5% and exhibits high catalytic performance in a wide pH window from 3 to 9. The 3DG/Cu@C also remains high efficiency after five successive reaction cycles. The working mechanism study shows that RhB is mainly oxidized by •OH and O2•- radicals through hetero-EF and anodic oxidation processes. The high stability and outstanding performance of 3DG/Cu@C provide new insights in organic pollutants removal by hetero-EF process with transition metal and nanocarbon-based catalysts.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) CuO/TiO2 hybrid heterostructure nanorod arrays (NRs) with noble-metal-free composition, fabricated by template-assisted low-cost processes, were used as the photo-Fenton-like catalyst for dye degradation. Here, CuO NRs were deposited into anodic aluminum oxide templates by electrodeposition method annealed at various temperatures, followed by deposition of TiO2 thin films through E-gun evaporation, resulting in the formation of CuO/TiO2 p-n heterojunction. The distribution of elements and compositions of the CuO/TiO2 p-n heterojunction were analyzed by EDS mapping and EELS profiles, respectively. In the presence of H2O2, CuO/TiO2 hybrid structure performed more efficiently than CuO NRs for Rhodamine B degradation under the irradiation of 500-W mercury-xenon arc lamp. This study demonstrated the effect of length of CuO NRs, on the photo-degradation performance of CuO NRs as well as CuO/TiO2 heterostructure. The optimized CuO/TiO2 hybrid NR array structure exhibited the highest photo-degradation activity, and the mechanism and role of photo-Fenton acting as the catalyst in photo-degradation of dye was also investigated.

Application of solid waste of ductile cast iron industry for treatment of wastewater contaminated by reactive blue dye via appropriate nano-porous magnesium oxide. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 256:113454.

Abstract
The solid waste of ductile iron industry, which contains at least 88.0% magnesium oxide, is one of the toxic materials, leading to land contamination. On the other hand, the removal of reactive dyes from wastewaters is difficult required effective adsorbent like nano-porous MgO. The novelty of present investigation is based on nano-porous magnesium oxide production by precipitation from the solid waste to treat the wastewaters contaminated by reactive dye which is abundantly used in the textile industry. In order to improve the adsorptive properties of extracted MgO powder, the combinations of surfactants, containing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and polyoxyethylene octyl phenyl ether (TX100) were applied based on the mixture design algorithm in the precipitation. The effects of processing factors such as surfactant composition, powder calcination temperature, surfactant dose and pH were evaluated on the removal efficiency. The results revolved that the combination of SDS and TX100, 1:1, plays an effective role in the production of particles with the appropriate average pore size, 16 nm. The adsorbent prepared in the optimum condition indicated a significant affinity for the removal of reactive dye which shows relatively pH-independent efficiency in the range of 3-9. The applied producer for fabrication of adsorbent eventually overcomes the pH-dependent problem for the toxic dye uptake, leading to produce the adsorbent with maximal adsorption capacity of 1000 mg g-1.

Abstract
AbstractThe constant presence of parabens in natural surface waters has raised a growing concern of the potential long-term toxic effects that parabens may have in wildlife, mainly as endocrine disruptors. The present report describes the results of a study in which different photocatalyzed systems, such as photo-Fenton, Fenton, UV-H2O2, UV-TiO2 and UV-TiO2-H2O2, were applied to the removal of these recalcitrant pollutants in some surface waters, including natural (e.g. rivers) and man-made (e.g. reservoirs and wastewater treatment plants). Degradation of four widely-used parabens (methyl-paraben, ethyl-paraben, propyl-paraben and butyl-paraben) was analyzed. Experimental results reveal that the most efficient method to combat these emerging pollutants was photo-Fenton. When this process was optimized, optimal removal efficiency was attained using doses of H2O2 and Fe(II) equal to 2.92·10−4 mol dm-3 and 1.85·10−5 mol dm-3, respectively. It is also worth noting that the removal rate of these contaminants is slower in natural waters. The results suggest that the photo-Fenton process is promising and maybe an adequate technology for the treatment of these persistent contaminants.

Abstract
A photodegradation technology based on the combination of ultraviolet radiation with H2O2 (UV/H2O2) for degrading tri(chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCPP) was developed. In ultrapure water, a pseudo-first order reaction was observed, and the degradation rate constant reached 0.0035 min-1 (R2 = 0.9871) for 5 mg L-1 TCPP using 250 W UV light irradiation with 50 mg L-1 H2O2. In detail, the yield rates of Cl- and PO43- reached 0.19 mg L-1 and 0.58 mg L-1, respectively. The total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate was 43.02%. The pH value of the TCPP solution after the reaction was 3.46. The mass spectrometric detection data showed a partial transformation of TCPP into a series of hydroxylated and dechlorinated products. Based on the luminescent bacteria experimental data, the toxicity of TCPP products increased obviously as the reaction proceeded. In conclusion, degradation of high concentration TCPP in UV/H2O2 systems may result in more toxic substances, but its potential application for real wastewater is promising in the future after appropriate optimization, domestication and evaluation.

Abstract
Sonochemical oxidation of organic pollutants in an aqueous environment is considered to be a green process. This mode of degradation of organic pollutants in an aqueous environment is considered to render reputable outcomes in terms of minimal chemical utilization and no need of extreme physical conditions. Indiscriminate discharge of toxic organic pollutants in an aqueous environment by anthropogenic activities has posed major health implications for both human and aquatic lives. Hence, numerous research endeavours are in progress to improve the efficiency of degradation and mineralization of organic contaminants. Being an extensively used advanced oxidation process, ultrasonic irradiation can be utilized for complete mineralization of persistent organic pollutants by coupling/integrating it with homogeneous and heterogeneous photocatalytic processes. In this regard, scientists have reported on sonophotocatalysis as an effective strategy towards the degradation of many toxic environmental pollutants. The combined effect of sonolysis and photocatalysis has been proved to enhance the production of high reactive-free radicals in aqueous medium which aid in the complete mineralization of organic pollutants. In this manuscript, we provide an overview on the ultrasound-based hybrid technologies for the degradation of organic pollutants in an aqueous environment.

Abstract
The removal of Acid Orange 51 (AO 51) dye in aqueous solution by microscale zero-valent iron (m-ZVI) was investigated. The m-ZVI powder was characterized granulometrically by laser particle sizer and morphologically by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The effects of pH, m-ZVI concentration, H2O2 addition, and dye concentration on the decolorization of AO 51 were experimentally investigated. Results indicate that the removal efficiency is independent from pH values, increases with increasing ZVI dosage, and decreases with dye concentration. With 1 g/L of m-ZVI, AO 51 was effectively removed without and with addition of 25 mM H2O2, yielding a decolorization efficiency of around 70% and 98%, respectively, at pH 3 within 60 min of reaction time. The involvement of ˙OH in oxidizing AO 51 was examined by measuring the removal rates based on ˙OH scavenging molecule. Finally, the disappearance of AO 51 was estimated by monitoring the UV-Vis spectral evolution after 120 min of treatment while the Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was performed to verify the occurrence of organic sorption on m-ZVI surface. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images before and after the reaction illustrated morphological changes on m-ZVI surface. The detoxification of the treated solution was demonstrated using phytotoxicity test.

Abstract
In this study, we report an effective degradation method for trace level beta-blockers (propranolol and acebutolol) in hospital wastewater using a new droplet flow-assisted heterogeneous electro-Fenton reactor (DFEF) system. Biogenic iron-carbon nanocomposites (RHS/C-x% Fe) as eco-friendly and low-cost heterogeneous Fenton catalysts were synthesized from rice husk via hydrolytic sol-gel routes. Here, we demonstrate the use of natural air as a nebulizing agent for fast and continuous catholyte air saturation and Fenton catalyst transfer to the cathode electrode. The effects of key operational parameters were evaluated and optimized using central composite design. Results clearly indicated that enhanced beta-blocker degradation was mainly dependent on the interactive effects of electrolysis time, current density, and catalyst dosage. Fast degradation efficiencies (≥ 99.9%) was recorded at neutral pH conditions. The decay followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with degradation rates of up to 2.72 × 10-2 and 2.54 × 10-2 min-1 for acebutolol and propranolol, respectively. The synergistic contribution of •OHbulk attributable to DFEF process and •OHadsorbed for anodic oxidation (AO) at the anode electrode significantly enhanced the degradation process. Compared to AO, the conventional flow-assisted electro-Fenton (FEF), and the batch electro-Fenton (BEF), DFEF degradation efficiency followed a decreasing order: DFEF ˃ FEF ˃ BEF˃ AO. This trend in performance was mainly due to the fast and continuous cathodic electro-generation of H2O2 and Fe2+ regeneration. Additionally, in order to elucidate degradation mechanism, we used a combination of DFEF approach with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. This approach demonstrates a simple, cleaner, and highly efficient degradation approach for trace level recalcitrant pollutants in a complex aquatic matrix, without the need for external chemical addition and pH adjustment.

Abstract
Acceleration of Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle and simultaneous reduction of particle size with enhanced stability is extremely important for iron-based heterogeneous Fenton catalysts. In this work, Fe0-Fe2O3 composite nanoparticles embedded ordered mesoporous carbon hybrid materials (Fe0-Fe2O3/OMC) were rationally designed as efficient heterogeneous Fenton catalysts. Because of the confinement and reduction of OMC, highly dispersed Fe0-Fe2O3 active species with diameter of ∼8 nm were generated by an optimized carbothermic reduction process. In addition, Fe0-Fe2O3/OMC possesses ordered mesoporous structure with uniform mesopore, high surface area and pore volume. For comparison, two other catalysts, including solely Fe0 nanoparticles supported on ordered mesoporous carbon (Fe0/OMC) and solely Fe2O3 nanoparticles supported on ordered mesoporous carbon (Fe2O3/OMC) were also prepared. The Fenton catalytic performance of synthesized catalysts was evaluated by using H2O2 as oxidizing agent to degrade Acid Orange II (AOII). The results show that almost 98.1% of 100 mg L-1 AOII was removed by Fe0-Fe2O3/OMC in condition of neutral pH and nearly room temperature, which is much higher than those of compared catalysts. The enhanced catalytic activity of Fe0-Fe2O3/OMC for AOII removal is due to the efficient electron transfer between the Fe0 and iron oxide and the accelerated Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle. The stability and reusability of the catalyst was also investigated, which showed a good performance even after five consecutive runs. The as-synthesized catalyst is proved to be an attractive candidate in heterogeneous Fenton chemistry and practical application.

Boosted Visible-Light Photodegradation of Methylene Blue by V and Co Co-Doped TiO₂. MATERIALS 2018; 11:ma11101946.

Abstract
In this work, TiO2 photocatalysts, co-doped with transition metal ions vanadium (V) and cobalt (Co) ((V,Co)–TiO2), were synthesized by the sol–gel method. The synthesized photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), nitrogen adsorption and desorption measurement, UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence spectrum (PL) spectra. The results show that V and Co co-doping has significant effects on sample average crystalline grain size, absorption spectrum, recombination efficiency of photo-induced electron-hole pairs (EHPs), and photocatalytic degradation efficiency of methylene blue (MB). (V,Co)–TiO2 photocatalyst exhibits an obvious red shift of the absorption edge to 475 nm. Photocatalytic degradation rate of (V,Co)–TiO2 sample for MB in 60 min is 92.12% under a Xe lamp with a cut-off filter (λ > 400 nm), which is significantly higher than 56.55% of P25 under the same conditions. The first principles calculation results show that V and Co ions doping introduces several impurity energy levels, which can modulate the location of the valence band and conduction band. An obvious lattice distortion is produced in the meantime, resulting in the decrease in photo-generated EHP recombination. Thus, (V,Co)–TiO2 photocatalyst performance is significantly improved.

Abstract
Due to the widespread use of methylparaben (MEP) and its high chemical stability, it can be found in wastewater treatment plants and can act as an endocrine disrupting compound. In this study, the photocatalytic degradation and mineralization of MEP solutions were evaluated under UV-A, UV-C and Vis radiations in the presence of the photocatalyst TiO2. In this sense, the effects of the catalyst load, pH and MEP initial concentration were studied. Remarkably higher reaction rates and total photodegradation were achieved in systems assisted by UV-C radiation. The complete degradation was achieved after 60 min of reaction using the MEP concentration of 30 mg L-1 at pH 9 and 500 mg L-1 TiO2. The experimental data apparently followed a Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model, which could predict 88-98% of the reaction behavior. For the best photodegradation condition, the model predicted an apparent reaction rate constant (kapp) equal to 0.0505 min-1 and an initial reaction rate of 1.5641 mg (L min)-1. Mineralization analyses showed high removal for MEP and derived compounds from the initial solution when using UV-C after 90 min of reaction. The lower toxicity was also confirmed by in vivo tests using MEP solutions previously treated by photocatalysis.
