Abstract
Pendimethalin (PM) is an organic pollutant (herbicide), and systematic studies on PM degradation are scarce. The efficient degradation of PM in water remains a challenge that requires to be addressed. Herein, for the first time, elemental Co was doped into HKUST-1 using a solvothermal method to generate Co3O4/CuO@C via pyrolysis. The as-prepared catalyst was used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for PM degradation, obtaining a PM degradation efficiency of 98.2 % after 30 min. The assessment of the effects of various factors on the degradation efficiency revealed that 1O2 dominated PM degradation, whereas the contribution of SO4•- was negligible. Although 3Co3O4/CuO@C exhibited a good degradation performance against other organic pollutants, its degradation performance in real water was poor. The carbon layer reduced metal-ion leaching (Co and Cu), and the synergistic interactions between Co3O4 and CuO promoted PMS activation. The roles of the components of 3Co3O4/CuO@C in PM degradation by activated PMS were investigated in the presence of CoIV and Co-OOSO3-. Two possible PM degradation pathways were systematically proposed, and the toxicity of the intermediates was analyzed. Finally, a mechanism for PM degradation by 3Co3O4/CuO@C-activated PMS was proposed.

Abstract
Efficient neutrophil migration to infection sites plays a vital role in the body's defense against bacterial infections and natural immune responses. Neutrophils have a short lifespan and cannot be mass-cultured in vitro. Therefore, developing more stable artificial neutrophils (AN) in a controllable manner has become a research focus. However, existing AN lack chemotaxis, which is the ability to migrate toward high-signal-concentration positions in a dynamic blood- flow environment. Supplying AN with chemotaxis is key to designing AN that are more similar to natural neutrophils in terms of morphology and function. In this study, micrometer-sized, spherical, biocompatible AN are developed. These AN consist of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 nanoparticles encapsulating two enzymes, coacervate droplet frameworks, and outer phospholipid bilayers carrying enzymes. The AN exhibit responsiveness to elevated hydrogen peroxide levels at inflammation sites, actively chemotaxing toward these sites along concentration gradients. They also demonstrate effective combat against Staphylococcus aureus infections. The capabilities of the AN are further validated through in vitro experiments and in vivo evaluations using vascular graft infection models. This study replicates natural neutrophils in terms of chemical composition, functionality, and physiological impact. It introduces new ideas for advancing the development of advanced artificial cells.

Abstract
The activation of persulfates to degrade refractory organic pollutants is a hot issue in advanced oxidation right now. Here, it is reported that single-atom Fe-incorporated carbon nitride (Fe-CN-650) can effectively activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal. Through some characterization techniques and DFT calculation, it is proved that Fe single atoms in Fe-CN-650 exist mainly in the form of Fe-N3O1 coordination, and Fe-N3O1 exhibited better affinity for PMS than the traditional Fe-N4 structure. The degradation rate constant of SMX in the Fe-CN-650/PMS system reached 0.472 min-1, and 90.80% of SMX can still be effectively degraded within 10 min after five consecutive recovery cycles. The radical quenching experiment and electrochemical analysis confirm that the pollutants are mainly degraded by two non-radical pathways through 1O2 and Fe(IV)═O induced at the Fe-N3O1 sites. In addition, the intermediate products of SMX degradation in the Fe-CN-650/PMS system show toxicity attenuation or non-toxicity. This study offers valuable insights into the design of carbon-based single-atom catalysts and provides a potential remediation technology for the optimum activation of PMS to disintegrate organic pollutants.

Oxidation effects on Microcystis aeruginosa inactivation through various reactive oxygen species: Degradation efficiency, mechanisms, and physiological properties. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 402:130806. [PMID: 38718906 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130806] [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: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
The study investigated the inactivation of Microcystis aeruginosa using a combined approach involving thermally activated peroxyacetic acid (Heat/PAA) and thermally activated persulfate (Heat/PDS). The Heat/PDS algal inactivation process conforms to first-order reaction kinetics. Both hydroxyl radical (•OH) and sulfate radical (SO4-•) significantly impact the disruption of cell integrity, with SO4-• assuming a predominant role. PAA appears to activate organic radicals (RO•), hydroxyl (•OH), and a minimal amount of singlet oxygen (1O2). A thorough analysis underscores persulfate's superior ability to disrupt algal cell membranes. Additionally, SO4-• can convert small-molecule proteins into aromatic hydrocarbons, accelerating cell lysis. PAA can accelerate cell death by diffusing into the cell membrane and triggering advanced oxidative reactions within the cell. This study validates the effectiveness of the thermally activated persulfate process and the thermally activated peroxyacetic acid as strategies for algae inactivation.

Abstract
The dyes in printing and dyeing wastewater are harmful to the human body and the environment. It is essential to develop practical and effective adsorbents to deal with them. In this study, an Fe-doped, ZIF-67 derived Fe/Co/C composite material with strong magnetism was successfully synthesized. The effects of pH, initial concentration, and adsorption time on the properties of the adsorbent were investigated. To further improve the removal efficiency and enhance the practicality, potassium peroxymonosulfate (PMS) was added to the system due to its Fenton-like effect. Then, an Fe/Co/C composite was used with PMS to remove Congo red (CR) with a 98% removal of 250 mg·L-1. Moreover, for its high saturation magnetization of 85.4 emu·g-1, the Fe/Co/C composite can be easily recovered by applying a magnetic field, solving the problem that powdery functional materials are difficult to recover and, thus, avoiding secondary pollution. Furthermore, since the composite material was doped before carbonization, this synthetic strategy is flexible and the required metal elements can be added at will to achieve different purposes. This study demonstrates that this Fe-doped, ZIF-67 derived magnetic material has potential application prospects for dye adsorption.

A sustainable nano-hybrid system of laccase@M-MWCNTs for multifunctional PAHs and PhACs removal from water, wastewater, and lake water. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 246:118097.

Abstract
This study examined the use of modified multiwall carbon nanotubes (M-MWCNTs) with immobilized laccase (L@M-MWCNTs) for removing ciprofloxacin (Cip), carbamazepine (Cbz), diclofenac (Dcf), benzo[a]pyrene (Bap), and anthracene (Ant) from different water samples. The synthesized materials were characterized using an array of advanced analytical techniques. The physical immobilization of laccase onto M-MWCNTs was confirmed through Scanning electron microscope (SEM)-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis and Brunner-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area measurements. The specific surface area of M-MWCNTs decreased by 65% upon laccase immobilization. There was also an increase in nitrogen content seen by EDS analysis asserting successful immobilization. The results of Boehm titration and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) exhibited an increase in acidic functional groups after laccase immobilization. L@M-MWCNTs storage for two months maintained 77.8%, 61.6%, and 57.6% of its initial activity for 4 °C, 25 °C, and 35 °C, respectively. In contrast, the free laccase exhibited 55.3%, 37.5%, and 23.5% of its initial activity at 4 °C, 25 °C, and 35 °C, respectively. MWCNTs improved storability and widened the working temperature range of laccase. The optimum removal conditions of studied pollutants were pH 5, 25 °C, and 1.6 g/L of M-MWCNTs. These parameters led to >90% removal of the targeted pollutants for four treatment cycles of both synthetic water and spiked lake water. L@M-MWCNTs demonstrated consistent removal of >90% for up to five cycles even with spiked wastewater. The adsorption was endothermic and followed Langmuir isotherm. Oxidation, dehydrogenation, hydroxylation, and ring cleavage seem to be the dominant degradation mechanisms.

Abstract
In the present study, we demonstrated that the presence of cysteine could remarkably enhance the degradation of atrazine by Fe3O4/persulfate system. The results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra confirmed the combination of cysteine and Fe3O4 exhibited much higher activity on activation of persulfate to generate more SO4•- and •OH than Fe3O4 alone. At pH of 3.0, SO4•- and •OH contributed to about 58.2 % and 41.8 % of atrazine removal respectively, while •OH gradually dominated the oxidation of atrazine from neutral condition to alkaline condition. The co-existing Cl- and HCO3- could quench SO4•-, resulting in the inhibition of atrazine degradation. The presence of low natural organic matters (NOM) concentration (0-2 mg L-1) could enhance the atrazine removal, and high concentration (>5 mg L-1) of NOM restrained the atrazine degradation. During the Cysteine/Fe3O4/Persulfate process, cysteine served as a complexing reagent and reductant. Through acidolysis and complexation, Fe3O4 could release dissolved and surface bound Fe2+, both of which contributed to the activation of persulfate together. Meanwhile, cysteine was not rapidly consumed due to a regeneration process, which was beneficial for maintaining Fe2+/Fe3+ cycle and constantly accelerating the activation of persulfate for atrazine degradation. The reused Fe3O4 and cysteine in the Cysteine/Fe3O4/Persulfate process exhibited high stability for the atrazine degradation after three cycles. The degradation pathway of atrazine included alkylic-oxidation, dealkylation, dechlorination-hydroxylation processes. The present study indicates the novel Cysteine/Fe3O4/Persulfate process might be a high potential for treatment of organic polluted water.

Abstract
Iron single-atom catalysts (Fe SACs) hold great promise for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation and degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater. However, insights into crucial catalytic sites and activation mechanisms of biochar-based Fe SACs for PMS remain a challenge. Herein, cotton stalk-derived biochar-based Fe SACs (Fe SACs-BC) with an asymmetric Fe-N/O-C configuration were prepared, and their PMS activation and acid orange 7 (AO7) degradation mechanisms were investigated. The results showed that the removal efficiency of the Fe SACs-BC catalyst with Fe-N3O-C configuration for AO7 and other five investigated organic dyes reached 95-99% within 15 min. The EPR spectrums, quenching experiments, electrochemical analysis, masking experiments, XPS, and theoretical calculations indicated that degradations of organic dyes were dominated by singlet oxygen, which was generated by direct PMS conversion at the electron-deficient carbon and iron sites in the Fe-N3O-C configuration. The Fe SACs-BC/PMS exhibited high removal efficiency and strong tolerance in different water matrices with a wide pH range, various coexisting anions and interfering substances, showing great potential and applicability for efficient treatment of actual textile wastewaters.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 459:132334. [PMID: 37597392 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132334] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
In order to minimize the knowledge gap between single and binary pollutants degradation by persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs), iron-loaded N-doped carbon nanotubes (Fe-NCNT) and its acid-washing sample (Fe-NCNT-W) were synthesized as peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator for simultaneous oxidation of acid orange 7 (AO7) and electron-rich (phenol/ibuprofen) or electron-deficient pollutants (nitrobenzene/benzoic acid). Mechanistic studies revealed that both radical (HO•, SO4•-) and nonradical (electron-transfer, high-valent iron) pathways involved for organic oxidation in Fe-NCNT/PMS system, while electron-transfer pathway (ETP) and high-valent iron-oxo species accounted for pollutant degradation at the surface and inner space of Fe-NCNT-W, respectively. The oxidation performances in single or binary systems were systematically investigated. In comparison to benchmark radical-based (Fe2+/PMS), nonradical ETP (NCNT/PMS) and mixed (Fe-NCNT/PMS) systems, Fe-NCNT-W/PMS outperformed superior performance toward oxidation of binary pollutants with little inference from solution pH or background substances, which could also be fabricated into membrane reactor for actual dyeing sewage treatment. Such superiorities should be mainly ascribed to the particular selectivity and intensive treatment of nonradical pathways in Fe-NCNT-W/PMS system with nanoconfinement effect. This work affords novel insights into the treatment of combined pollution via PMS activation by engineered nanomaterials.

WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 170:40-49. [PMID: 37544233 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2023.07.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
Aromatic azo dyes possess inherent resistance and are known to be carcinogenic, posing a significant threat to human and ecosystems. Enhancing the biodegradation of azo dyes usually requires the presence of co-metabolic substrates to optimize the process. In addressing the issue of excessive waste activated sludge (WAS) generation, this study explored the potential of utilizing alkaline-thermal hydrolysate of WAS as a co-metabolic substrate to boost the degradation of reactive black 5 (RB5) dyes. The acclimated microbial consortium, when supplemented with the WAS hydrolysate obtained at a hydrolysis temperature of 30 °C, achieved an impressive RB5 decolorization efficiency of 90.3% (pH = 7, 35 °C) with a corresponding COD removal efficiency of 45.0%. The addition of WAS hydrolysate as a co-substrate conferred the consortium with a remarkable tolerance to high dye concentration (1500 mg/L RB5) and salinity levels (4-5%), surpassing the performance of conventional co-metabolic sugars in RB5 degradation. 3D-EEM analysis revealed that protein-like substances rich in tyrosine and tryptophan, present in the WAS hydrolysate, played a crucial role in promoting RB5 biodegradation. Furthermore, the microbial consortium community exhibited an enrichment of dye-degrading species, including Acidovorax, Bordetella, Kerstersia, and Brevundimonas, which dominated the community. Notably, functional genes associated with dye degradation and intermediates were also enriched during the RB5 decolorization and biodegradation process. These findings present a practical strategy for the simultaneous treatment of dye-containing wastewater and recycling of WAS.

Resource utilization of rice straw to prepare biochar as peroxymonosulfate activator for naphthalene removal: Performances, mechanisms, environmental impact and applicability in groundwater. WATER RESEARCH 2023; 244:120555.

Abstract
Herein, biochar was prepared using rice straw, and it served as the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator to degrade naphthalene (NAP). The results showed that pyrolysis temperature has played an important role in regulating biochar structure and properties. The biochar prepared at 900°C (BC900) had the best activation capacity and could remove NAP in a wide range of initial pH (5-11). In the system of BC900/PMS, multi-reactive species were produced, in which 1O2 and electron transfer mainly contributed to NAP degradation. In addition, the interference of complex groundwater components on the NAP removal rate must get attention. Cl- had a significant promotional effect but risked the formation of chlorinated disinfection by-products. HCO3-, CO32-, and humic acid (HA) had an inhibitory effect; surfactants had compatibility problems with the BC900/PMS system, which could lead to unproductive consumption of PMS. Significantly, the BC900/PMS system showed satisfactory remediation performance in spiked natural groundwater and soil, and it could solve the problem of persistent groundwater contamination caused by NAP desorption from the soil. Besides, the degradation pathway of NAP was proposed, and the BC900/PMS system could degrade NAP into low or nontoxic products. These suggest that the BC900/PMS system has promising applications in in-situ groundwater remediation.

Abstract
In recent years, water pollution has posed a serious threat to aquatic organisms and humans. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) show high oxidation, good selectivity, wide pH range and no secondary pollution in the removal of organic pollutants in water. Carbon-based materials are emerging green catalysts that can effectively activate persulfates to generate radical and non-radical active species to degrade organic pollutants. Compared with transition metal catalysts, carbon-based materials are widely used in SR-AOPs because of their low cost, non-toxicity, acid and alkali resistance, large specific surface area, and scalable surface charge, which can be used for selective control of specific water pollutants. This paper mainly presents several carbon-based materials used to activate PMS, including raw carbon materials and modified carbon materials (heteroatom-doped and metal-doped), analyzes and summarizes the mechanism of activating PMS by carbon-based catalysts, and discusses the influencing factors (temperature, pH, PMS concentration, catalyst concentration, inorganic anions, inorganic cations and dissolved oxygen) in the activation process. Finally, the future challenges and prospects of carbon-based materials in water pollution control are also presented.

Abstract
Catalytic carbon materials from used face masks (UFM) activated by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) were developed for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) dye in aqueous solution. The UFM-derived carbon (UFMC) catalyst had a relatively large surface area as well as active functional groups and promoted the generation of singlet 1O2 and radicals from PMS, giving a high RhB degradation performance (98.1% after 3 h) in the presence of 3 mM PMS. The UFMC could degrade only 13.7% at a minimal RhB dose of 10-5 M. The principal reactive oxygen species of sulphate (SO4•), hydroxyl radicals (•OH), and singlet 1O2 were discovered using electron paramagnetic resonance and radical scavenger studies. Finally, a toxicological plant and bacterial study was performed to demonstrate the potential non-toxicity of the degraded RhB water sample.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation have attracted much attention in wastewater treatment. Here, a series of (NH4)2Mo3S13/MnFe2O4 (MSMF) composites were prepared and used as PMS activators to remove tetracycline (TC) for the first time. When the mass ratio of (NH4)2Mo3S13 to MnFe2O4 was 4.0 (MSMF4.0), the composite showed remarkable catalytic efficiency for activating PMS to remove TC. Over 93% of TC was removed in MSMF4.0/PMS system in 20 min. The aqueous •OH as well as the surface SO4•- and •OH were the primary reactive species for TC degradation in MSMF4.0/PMS system, and the comprehensive experimental results excluded the contributions of aqueous SO4•-, O2•-, and 1O2, high-valent metal-oxo species, and surface-bound PMS. The Mn(II)/Mn(III), Fe(II)/Fe(III), Mo(IV)/Mo(VI), and S2-/SOx2- all contributed to the catalytic process. MSMF4.0 also showed excellent activity and stability after five cycles and significant degradation efficiency for a variety of pollutants. This work will provide theoretical basis for applying MnFe2O4-based composites in PMS-based AOPs.

Abstract
Recycling and reusing spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have gained a lot of attention in recent years, both ecologically and commercially. The carbon nanotube-loaded CoFe2O4 (CoFe2O4@CNTs) composite was made using a solvothermal technique utilizing wasted LIBs as the starting material and carbon nanotubes as support, and it was used as an efficient peroxymonosulfate (PMS, HSO5−) activator to degrade chloroquine phosphate (CQP). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were utilized to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the catalyst generated. The impacts of CoFe2O4@CNTs dosage, PMS concentration, reaction temperature, initial pH value, starting CQP concentration, and co-existing ions have undergone extensive experimental testing. In comparison to bare CoFe2O4, the CoFe2O4@CNTs demonstrated increased catalytic activity, which might be attributed to their super electron transport capacity and large surface area. In ideal conditions, the mineralization efficiency and removal efficiency of 10 mg/L CQP approached 33 and 98.7%, respectively. By employing external magnets, the CoFe2O4@CNTs catalyst may be simply recycled and reused several times. The potential reaction mechanism in the CoFe2O4@CNTs/PMS system was also investigated. In summary, this study indicates that CoFe2O4@CNTs generated from spent lithium-ion batteries have a high potential in PMS activation for CQP and other pollutant degradation.

Abstract
Oil fractions containing highly toxic and hazardous organic contaminants can not only cause severe environmental disasters, but also an undesired waste of resources. Given the exceptional performance of persulfates in the removal of persistent and refractory organic pollutants from aqueous media, herein, a peroxymonosulfate-based Pickering emulsion catalytic (PPEC) system was constructed for the hazardous oil purification, using super-amphiphilic graphene as a solid emulsifier and a heterogeneous catalyst simultaneously. Combined detailed instrumental analysis with theoretical calculations, we find that the incorporation of pyridinic N and its oxide significantly facilitated the formation of super-amphiphilic graphene and successfully induced the formation of Pickering emulsion. In addition to stabilizing the PPEC system, super-amphiphilic graphene can also achieve efficient removal of Sudan III (simulated lipophilic organic pollutant) by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to generate •O2- and 1O2. Results showed that 80 mg/L Sudan III (20 mL) could be fully degraded within 30 min using 10 mL 5 mmol PMS. More significantly, our proposed PPEC system also exhibited excellent property in the purification of practical waste engine oil. This study provides new insights into the purification and recovery of waste oil.

[PMID: 36431944 PMCID: PMC9698753 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27227845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
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).

Amorphous Co@TiO 2 heterojunctions: A high-performance and stable catalyst for the efficient degradation of sulfamethazine via peroxymonosulfate activation. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:135681.

Abstract
Persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) cannot easily achieve the efficient degradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with high stability. In this study, a simple in situ precipitation method was used to prepare an amorphous Co@TiO2 heterojunction catalyst. The deposition of Co oxide on TiO2, which is relatively nontoxic, efficiently activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade sulfamethazine (SMT) and reduce the leaching of Co ions (0.915%). A catalytic system prepared using 0.3 g L-1 Co@TiO2 and 0.5 g L-1 PMS could degrade SMT within 30 min with a degradation rate of 95.8%. Co@TiO2 could activate PMS over a wide pH range (5.00-9.00) to efficiently degrade other antibiotics and dyes. Radical-capture experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis suggested that SMT degradation occurs through a combination of the free radical and non-radical pathways, in which singlet 1O2 played a major role. Owing to the novelty of the proposed composite materials, the degradation path of SMT, which was determined through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, differed from that reported previously. This study provides not only an advanced and renewable catalyst for SMT degradation but also a feasible strategy for designing materials for AOPs.

Abstract
The use of metal-free graphite carbon nitride (CN) to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) has attracted extensive attention for organic pollutants degradation. In this work, we prepared carbonized polydopamine-decorated g-C3N4 (CP-700) for activation of PMS to degrade norfloxacin (NOR). The CP-700 composite was obtained by using CN as a base material on which dopamine underwent an autopolymerization reaction to form a CN-PDA complex, followed by pyrolysis. The apparent porous structure and graphitization provided a large number of active sites for catalytic degradation, enabling CP-700 to exhibit excellent catalytic performance during PMS activation. The degradation of NOR was not hindered by sulfate radical (SO4•-) and hydroxyl radical (•OH). Singlet oxygen (1O2) and mediated electron transfer were ultimately identified as the primary mechanisms. According to the linear positive correlation (R2 = 0.9922) between the semi-quantitative carbonyl group (CO) and the reaction rate constant, it was determined that the carbonyl group served as the important active site. The excellent electron transfer ability of CP-700 was evidenced by electrochemical techniques and the electron transfer pathway in the system was that PMS was adsorbed on the CP-700 surface to form metastable complex, and then the electron transfer between NOR and metastable complex was achieved. Based on the non-radical pathway, CP-700/PMS system showed a high tolerance to solution pH (3.0-11.0) and inorganic anions. The cyclic degradation experiments indicated that the system maintained a high degradation capability without the addition of additional CP-700, elucidating its potential application in the degradation of organic pollutants in the water.

Abstract
Current research has widely applied heteroatom doping for the promotion of catalyst activity in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) systems; however, the relationship between heteroatom doping and stimulated activation mechanism transformation is not fully understood. Herein, we introduce nitrogen and sulfur doping into a Co@rGO material for PMS activation to degrade tetracycline (TC) and systematically investigate how heteroatom doping transformed the activation mechanism of the original Co@rGO/PMS system. N was homogeneously inserted into the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) matrix of Co@rGO, inducing a significant increase in the degradation efficiency without affecting the activation mechanism transformation. Additionally, S doping converted Co3O4 to Co4S3 in Co@rGO and transformed the cooperative oxidation pathway into a single non-radical pathway with stronger intensity, which led to a higher stability against environmental interferences. Notably, based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we demonstrated that Co4S3 had a higher energy barrier for PMS adsorption and cleavage than Co3O4, and therefore, the radical pathway was not easily stimulated by Co4S3. Overall, this study not only illustrated the improvement due to the heteroatom doping of Co@rGO for TC degradation in a PMS system but also bridged the knowledge gap between the catalyst structure and degradation performance through activation mechanism transformation drawn from theoretical and experimental analyses.

Abstract
This study introduces a simple method for the preparation of biochar (BCP) and activated carbon using pistachio (ACP) external hull as residual solid waste. Low-cost raw materials, biodegradable, recyclable and organic solid wastes are advantages of this method. Furthermore, complete degradation of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) to H2O and CO2 as eco-friendly compounds in mild reaction condition occurs at a short time. Also, the effects of crucial parameters (temperature, time, catalyst dosage, initial dye and oxidant concentration, initial reaction pH level and radical scavengers), capability, adaptability, performance and reusability of ACP were also evaluated. The results displayed that dyes could be decomposed effectively by the PMS/ACP-800 system. Furthermore, the sulphate radical (SO4∙-) was a major active role in the degradation process, while hydroxyl radical (•OH) played a minor role. Overall, ACP had yielded high degradation of MB and MO dyes; therefore, ACP-800 could be effectively and reliably applied in the treatment of industry effluents containing MB and MO dyes.

Abstract
Azo dyes wastewater is characterized by high-salinity, however, the biodegradation performance and mechanisms of azo dyes by aerobic granular sludge (AGS) under different salinity levels are still unclear. Herein, the results showed that the reactor performance was almost unaffected at low-salinity levels (0.5%-1.0% salinity), and the removal efficiency of acid orange 7 (AO7) was increased by 2.6%-19.1%, possibly due to the excessive secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and the enrichment of functional bacteria. Nevertheless, the microbial cell viability was negatively affected by high-salinity level (2.0% salinity), leading to the deterioration of AO7 and nutrient removal efficiencies. The AO7 removal was achieved by rapid adsorption and slow biodegradation. The biodegradation pathway indicated that AO7 was gradually mineralized in the AGS system through desulfurization, deamination, decarboxylation and hydroxylation. Altogether, this work provides an important reference for the application of AGS technology for treating saline azo dye wastewaters.

Abstract
Human health is being threatened by the ever-increasing water pollution. Sulfate radical (SO4•-)-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) are rapidly being developed and gaining considerable attention due to their high oxidation potential and selectivity as a way to purify water by degrading organic contaminants in it. Among the catalytic materials that can activate the precursor to generate SO4•-, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are the most promising heterogeneous catalytic material in SR-AOPs because of their various structure possibilities, large surface area, ordered porous structure, and regular activation sites. Herein, an in-depth overview of MOFs and their derivatives for water purification with SR-AOPs is provided. The latest studies on pristine MOFs, MOF composites, and MOF derivatives (metal oxides, metal-carbon hybrids, and carbon materials) are summarized. The mechanisms of decomposition of pollutants in water via radical and non-radical pathways are also discussed. This review suggests future research directions for water purification through MOF-based SR-AOP.

Abstract
We examined the relationship between the intrinsic structure of a carbocatalyst and catalytic activity of peroxomonosulfate (PMS) activation for acetaminophen degradation. A series of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes with different degrees of oxidation was synthesized by the unzipping method. The linear regression analysis proposes that pyridinic N and graphitic N played a key role in the catalytic oxidation, rather than pyrrolic N and oxidized N. Pyridinic N reinforce the electron population in the graphitic framework and initiate the non-radical pathway via the formation of surface-bound radicals. Furthermore, graphitic N forms activated complexes (carbocatalyst-PMS*), facilitating the electron-transfer oxidative pathway. The correlation also affirms that -C=O was dominantly involved as a main active site, rather than -C-OH and -COOH. This study can be viewed as the first attempt to demonstrate the relationship between the fraction of N-groups and activity, and the quantity of O-groups and activity by active species (quenching studies) was established to reveal the role of N-groups and O-groups in the radical and non-radical pathways.

Abstract
Carbon materials draw increasing attention as metal-free catalysts for persulfates activation. Herein, the potential of black carbon (BC) derived from coal tar residues on heterogeneous activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to eliminate organic pollutants was investigated. Compared with UV/persulfates systems, persulfates/BC systems degraded 3 selected phenolic compounds (i.e. phenol, 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and bisphenol A (BPA)) with an order of magnitude higher oxidation rates, and removed dissolved organics (DOC) with over 27% higher efficiency. In the PDS/BC system, 1O2 and surface-bound radicals were proved to be the dominant active species, while free radicals, 1O2, and surface-bound radicals were responsible for organics oxidation in the PMS/BC system. Relative contribution of different reactive species in persulfates/BC systems was pH-dependent. Surface oxygen functionalities of BC were involved in 1O2 generation, and its structural defects played a critical role in forming free radicals and surface-bound radicals. This study provided an in-depth insight into carbon-driven persulfates activation processes.

Abstract
Developing high-efficiency catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes is important for eliminating pollutants in water. Herein, α-MnO2 with major exposed {110} and {100} facets prepared via a hydrothermal method were used as catalysts to activate PMS for the degradation of Orange Ⅰ (OⅠ). α-MnO2-100, with more abundant surface hydroxyl groups and greater reductive ability, performed remarkably better than α-MnO2-110 for degrading OⅠ. OⅠ removal of 86.20% was obtained in the α-MnO2-100/PMS system. The apparent rate constant of OⅠ removal over α-MnO2-100 was 2.11 times higher than that of α-MnO2-110. The effects of PMS concentration, catalyst dosage, OⅠ concentration, initial pH, anions and humic acid (HA) on OⅠ degradation in the α-MnO2-100/PMS system were systematically investigated. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) demonstrated that SO4•-, •OH, O2•- and 1O2 were the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the α-MnO2-100/PMS system. Moreover, the possible degradation pathway of OⅠ in the α-MnO2-100/PMS system was proposed. This work provides an ideal metal oxide catalyst for sewage remediation.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 430:127832.

Abstract
A novel B,N-decorated carbocatalyst (Fe@BPC-XBN) for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation was prepared by a simple pyrolysis method using the iron-based metal organic frameworks (Fe-MOF), boric acid and boron nitride (BN) as precursors. Fe@BPC-20BN removed 93.3% of bisphenol A (BPA) in 90 min compared to 64.9%, 82.1% and 83.5% with Fe@PC, Fe@BPC and Fe@PC-20BN, respectively, with 0.15 g/L catalyst and 1 mM PMS at initial pH of 7. The solo B-doping with boron acid on the Fe-MOF derived porous carbon enhanced its catalytic capacity; moreover, B, N co-doping with BN and boron acid as precursors further promoted the catalytic performance. The addition of BN not only provided more B, N catalytic centers but also improved the stability of the carbocatalyst. In addition, hydroxyl radicals, sulfate radicals, superoxide radicals, and singlet oxygen species were involved in the degradation of BPA. Fe species, -BCO2/-BC2O, pyridinic N, and pyrrolic N groups on the carbon matrix played the important roles in the BPA degradation. The outstanding catalytic performance of Fe@BPC-20BN could be attributed to the synergistic effects between iron nanoparticles and the B/N codoped carbon matrix. This study gives new insights into the design and preparation of high-efficient B,N-decorated carbocatalysts for environmental remediation.

Construction of Li/K dopants and cyano defects in graphitic carbon nitride for highly efficient peroxymonosulfate activation towards organic contaminants degradation. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 294:133700.

Abstract
As an emerging peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation catalyst, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is non-toxic and eco-friendly, while its poor catalytic performance hinders the application of pristine g-C3N4. Herein, a simple LiCl/KCl molten salts-assisted thermal polymerization method was adopted to promote the photocatalytic performance of g-C3N4. With the insertion of Li/K dopants and the introduction of surface cyano defects, the modified catalyst exhibited greatly enhanced ability on PMS activation towards acetaminophen removal, observing a 13 times higher rate constant than pristine g-C3N4 (k = 0.0435 min-1 vs. 0.0033 min-1). The main reactive oxygen species for pollutant degradation were identified as sulfate radicals and singlet oxygen. The wavefunction analysis at excited states based on density functional theory suggests that the introduction of cyano defects greatly promotes the separation of photo-generated electron-hole pairs, thereby achieving higher photocatalytic efficiency. In addition, the doping of Li/K significantly enhances the interaction between PMS and the catalyst surface, and orients the electron transfer from PMS to catalyst to generate non-radical species singlet oxygen, which improves the catalyst resistance to anions-containing water matrices.

Abstract
This study presents a low-impact process that uses the synergy of peracetic acid (PAA) and graphene oxide quantum GQDs to degrade poorly biodegradable organic compounds and potentially substitute chlorination in wastewater treatment. The role of GQDs in GQDs/PAA activity and the effect of GQDs loading were examined. The results showed that increasing GQDs loading in the GQDs/PAA system greatly improved the photodegradation efficiency. Conversely, increasing the PAA concentration slightly enhanced efficiency due to few active sites being available. GQDs acted as catalysts and radical scavenging experiments confirmed that the degradation occurred via generation of hydroxyl (•OH) and peroxy (CH3C(=O)OO•)) radicals. A probable degradation mechanism of the organic dye was presented based on the reaction by-products detected after HPLC-MS studies. The E. coli inactivation mechanism was elucidated by monitoring the morphological changes of E. coli using scanning microscopy. The proposed antimicrobial mechanism includes the initial diffusion of PAA through the cell membrane which caused damage and induced cellular matter leakage, resulting in cell death. Bacterial regrowth studies confirmed GQDs/PAA were able to bypass the natural mechanisms of microorganisms that enables them to repair any damages in their DNA.

Abstract
The CoSx-CuSx was firmly immobilized on copper foam (CF) substrate to fabricate supported CoSx-CuSx/CF using ZIF-L(Co)/CF as a self-sacrificing template, in which CF substrate played an important role in improving the adhesion between CF and target catalyst as well as the interfacial interaction between CoSx and CuSx. The CoSx-CuSx/CF performed well in catalytic peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation, which can accomplish 97.0% sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation within 10 min due to the special structure and Co2+ regeneration promoted by S2- and Cu+. The influences of pH, PMS dosage, catalyst dosage, co-existing anions and natural organic matter (NOM) on SMX removal were studied in detail. CoSx-CuSx/CF presented excellent catalytic activity and reusability, which might be fascinating candidate for real wastewater treatment. The possible pathway of SMX degradation was proposed, and the toxicity of the intermediates during the degradation process were evaluated. It is noteworthy that long-term continuous degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics was achieved using a self-developed continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor. This work demonstrated that CF as a substrate to fabricate supported catalysts derived from MOF had great potential in actual wastewater remediation.

Abstract
The non-radical oxidation processes of persulfate activation by carbon materials have shown great potential for industrial and saline wastewater treatment. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as an emerging precursor have been widely used for fabricating functional carbon materials. Herein, we reported ZIF-8 derived defect-rich nitrogen-doped carbon (ZCNs) via NaCl-assisted pyrolysis for efficient non-radical activation of peroxydisulfate to degrade rhodamine B (RB). All samples exhibited excellent catalytic activity, and ZCN-900 (pyrolyzed at 900 °C) was found to be the most active, able to degrade 96 % of RB quickly within 10 min. Quenching tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analyses suggested that the singlet oxygen (1O2) dominated the degradation process by a non-radical pathway. Furthermore, the effect of anions and water quality on RB oxidation were investigated, and ZCN-900/PDS system showed great resistance to the anions and natural organic matters (NOM). This work may provide a significant addition to MOF-based functional materials for environmental remediation based on the results above.

Abstract
Polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) has been extensively employed in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for water decontamination. However, limited photocatalytic efficiency can be achieved by pristine PCN due to its intrinsic deficiencies like high electron-hole recombination rate and resistance to charge transfer. Herein, in a two-stage thermal treatment process, the nontoxic and stable Na and K were successfully anchored among the PCN skeleton with surface defects created, leading to an elevated photocatalytic activity for PMS activation. The SO4·- and 1O2 were identified as the dominant reactive oxygen species, which were generated from electron transfer processes between PMS and catalyst. Experimental and theoretical analyses suggested that the defective structures and metal dopants improved the optical properties of catalyst, endowing it a wider light absorption range and a lower energy barrier for electron transitions. The modified structures were also beneficial to electron transfer processes due to the weaker electron confinement effect, accelerating the production of SO4·- on the defective sites and 1O2 on the metal sites. The synergy of radical and non-radical species weakened the influence of side reactions between radicals from PMS and coexisting inorganic anions in practical water, hence to promote the resistance of modified catalysts in complex water matrices.

Abstract
Metal-free carbonaceous catalysts are receiving increasing attention in wastewater treatment. Here, nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon sphere catalysts (N,S-CSs900-OH) were synthesized using glucose and L-cysteine via a hydrothermal method and high temperature alkali activation. The N,S-CSs900-10%-OH exhibited excellent catalytic performance for the degradation of oxytetracycline (OTC). The degradation rate was 95.9% in 60 min, and the reaction equilibrium rate constant was 0.0735 min-1 (k0-15 min). The synergistic effect of adsorption-promoting degradation was demonstrated in the removal process of OTC. The excellent adsorption capacity of N,S-CSs900-10%-OH ensured the efficient oxidation of OTC. N,S-CSs900-10%-OH reduced the activation energy of the OTC degradation reaction (Ea=18.23 kJ/mol). Moreover, the pyrrolic N, thiophene S and carbon skeleton played an important role in the degradation of OTC based on density function theory, and the catalytic mechanism was expounded through radical and nonradical pathways. The active species involved in the reaction were O2•-, 1O2, SO4•- and •OH, of which O2•- was the primary reactive species. This study provides a new insight into the reaction mechanism for efficient treatment of organic pollutants using metal-free doped porous carbon materials.

Abstract
Refractory organic pollutant effluent has led to severe water pollution. In this study, magnetic Co-N-doped carbon hybrid catalysts (Co-NC-x) were fabricated using a facile cation exchange combined pyrolysis and self-reduction technique to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for rehabilitation of the water environment. Factors affecting the catalytic activity of the Co-NC-850 were comprehensively examined. 100% of RhB degradation efficiency within 20 min was achieved in the Co-NC-850/PMS system at the optimum conditions (C0 = 80 mg L-1, catalyst loading 0.025 g L-1, PMS concentration 0.8 mM, native pH and 25 °C). The electron paramagnetic resonance measurements and competitive quenching tests demonstrated that a sulfate radical (SO4•-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) account for RhB degradation in the Co-NC-850/PMS system, and 1O2 contributed ~86.2% to RhB removal. The synergistic effect of Co0 nanoparticles (NPs) and NC on Co-NC-850 might induce a predominant non-radical route to trigger PMS activation for RhB degradation. Direct oxidation of O2•- by a hydroxyl radical (•OH) might be the crucial process for forming 1O2. Magnetic response and successive cycles verified that Co-NC-850 has superior separable performance and reusability. This innovative magnetic Co-NC-850 hybrid catalyst for PMS activation delivered vast potential for disintegration of refractory organic contaminants.

Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based Fenton-like reactions are widely used for wastewater remediation. Metal-free carbonaceous activators can avoid the secondary pollution caused by metal leaching but often suffer from insufficient activity due to limited active centers and mass transfer barriers. Here, we prepared a series of heteroatom (N, S, F)-doped, highly porous carbonaceous materials (UC-X, X = N, S, F) by pyrolyzing UiO-66 precursors assembled by various organic ligands. Density functional theory calculations showed that the heteroatoms modulated the electronic structures of the carbon plane. UC-X exhibited significantly enhanced PMS activation capability compared with the undoped counterpart, in the efficiency order of UC-N > UC-S > UC-F > UC. UC-N (calcined at 1000°C) showed the best PMS activation, exceeding that of commonly used carbocatalysts. The prominent performance of UC-N originated from its unique porous structure and homogeneously dispersed graphitic N moieties. Trapping experiments and electron spin resonance showed a nonradical degradation pathway in the UC-N/PMS system, through which organics were oxidized by donating electrons to UC-N/PMS* metastable complexes. This work not only reports a universal way to access high-performance, metal-free PMS activators but also provides insight into the underlying mechanism of the carbon-activated PMS process.
