Improving water quality and mitigating CH 4 and N 2O production in urban landscape water simultaneously by optimizing calcium peroxide dosage. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 927:172270. [PMID: 38583627 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172270] [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: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
Recent studies show that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban landscape water are significant and cannot be overlooked, underscoring the need to develop effective strategies for mitigating GHG production from global freshwater systems. Calcium peroxide (CaO2) is commonly used as an eco-friendly reagent for controlling eutrophication in water bodies, but whether CaO2 can reduce GHG emissions remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of CaO2 dosage on the production of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in urban landscape water under anoxic conditions during summer. The findings reveal that CaO2 addition not only improved the physicochemical and organoleptic properties of simulated urban landscape water but also reduced N2O production by inhibiting the activity of denitrifying bacteria across various dosages. Moreover, CaO2 exhibited selective effects on methanogens. Specifically, the abundance of acetoclastic methanogen Methanosaeta and methylotrophic methanogen Candidatus_Methanofastidiosum increased whereas the abundance of the hydrogenotrophic methanogen Methanoregula decreased at low, medium, and high dosages, leading to higher CH4 production at increased CaO2 dosage. A comprehensive multi-objective evaluation indicated that an optimal dosage of 60 g CaO2/m2 achieved 41.21 % and 84.40 % reductions in CH4 and N2O production, respectively, over a 50-day period compared to the control. This paper not only introduces a novel approach for controlling the production of GHGs, such as CH4 and N2O, from urban landscape water but also suggests a methodology for optimizing CaO2 dosage, providing valuable insights for its practical application.

Persulfate activated with calcium peroxide to remediate RAFT soil contaminated with diesel in Arctic northern villages: on-site pilot scale study. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2024; 45:2402-2416.

Abstract
A pilot field study was conducted in a Canadian northern village (NV) to assess the remediation efficiency of sodium persulphate (SPS) alkali activated with calcium peroxide (CP) to degrade diesel from Arctic raft soil. A minimum temperature increase in the subsurface due to overall process reactions was required. The projected context of application was imperative to preserve the integrity of the remaining permafrost. The test was performed with two soil columns of 370 L buried in the ground. The columns were contaminated with 7500 mg diesel/kg representative raft soil that was matured for a period of 11 months. The continuous delivery by gravity and the static presence of the oxidizing solution was made over 33 days. During that period, SPS concentration, pH and temperatures, were monitored. SPS was activated prior to its distribution and activation by-products were confined in a surficial tank and under a sludge form. The maturation period resulted in the important natural attenuation of diesel (47%) that occurred in the shallower horizons of the soil profile. About 35% of the diesel remaining after the maturation period was removed by chemical oxidation during the operation period on site. The temperature increase measured during the SPS activation process was not significant while the temperature increase due to diesel degradation by oxidation in the subsurface was evaluated to be below 3°C. The soil columns were not clogged by the by-products as indicated by hydraulic testing before and after oxidizing treatment.

Abstract
The harmless disposal, resource recovery, and synergistic efficiency reduction of municipal sludge have been the research focuses for the last few years. Calcium peroxide (CaO2) is a multifunctional and safe peroxide that produces an alkaline oxidation environment to promote the fermentation of municipal sludge to produce hydrogen (H2) and volatile fatty acids (VFAs), thus realizing sludge resource recovery. This review outlines the research achievements of CaO2 in sludge resource recovery, improvement of sludge dewaterability, and removal of pollutants from sludge in recent years. Meanwhile, the mechanism of CaO2 and its influencing factors have also been comprehensively summarized. Finally, the future development direction of the application of CaO2 in municipal sludge is prospected. This review would provide theoretical reference for the potential engineering applications of CaO2 in improving sludge treatment in the future.

Combining lanthanum-modified bentonite and calcium peroxide to enhance phosphorus removal from lake sediments. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 353:120150. [PMID: 38278118 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120150] [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: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
Lanthanum-modified bentonite (LMB) and calcium peroxide (CP) are known for their effective removal phosphorus (P) capacities. The present study aims to investigate the effects of the combined use of LMB and CP(LMB + CP)on the sediment P, dissolved organic matter (DOM) and iron (Fe) concentrations through a 90-day incubation experiment. The combined treatment showed strong removal effects on sediment P and DOM. Indeed, the SRP and DOM concentrations in the 0-10 cm sediment layer decreased following the combined application of LMB and CP by 40.67 and 28.95%, respectively, compared to those of the control group (CK). In contrast, the HCl-P in the 0-5 cm sediment layer increased following the combined treatment by 13.28%. In addition, compared with the single application of LMB, the LMB + CP treatment significantly reduced the soluble Fe (Ⅱ) in the sediment pore water and promoted the oxidation of Fe. Therefore, LMB + CP can enhance the removal of internal P from sediments. The DOM removal and Fe oxidation in sediment pore waters are beneficial for enhancing the adsorption of P by LMB. On the other hand, the single and combined applications of LMB and CP increased the richness of the sediment microbial communities while exhibiting slight effects on their diversity. According to the results of this study, the combined use of LMB and oxidizing materials represents a novel method for treating lakes with high internal phosphorus and DOM loads in sediments.

Abstract
Calcium ions (Ca2+) and magnesium ions (Mg2+) are pivotal in the community composition and stability of harmful cyanobacteria, yet the physiological and molecular responses remains poorly understood. This study aims to explore these responses in the high microcystin producer Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa). Results indicate that the growth of M. aeruginosa is inhibited by Ca2+/Mg2+ exposure (0.5-10 mM), while Fv/Fm photosynthetic parameters and extracellular microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) concentrations increase. Additionally, MC-LR release is significantly elevated under exposure to Ca2+/Mg2+, posing potential aquatic environmental risks. Transcriptomic analysis reveals downregulation of genes related to cell architecture, membrane transport, and metabolism, while the genes linked to photosynthesis electron transmission and heavy metal-responsive transcriptional regulators are upregulated to adapt to environmental changes. Further analysis reveals that Ca2+ and Mg2+ primarily impact sulfur metabolism and transport of amino acids and mineral within cells. These findings provide insights into M. aeruginosa cells responses to Ca2+ and Mg2+ exposure.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 464:132902. [PMID: 37988862 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
Calcium peroxide nanoparticles (nCP) as a versatile and safe solid source of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) receive substantial attention from researchers as a potential groundwater remediation reagent. In this study, we synthesized polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated calcium peroxide nanoparticles (PVP@nCP-PVP) to control the release rate of H2O2 and modulate pH fluctuation simultaneously. The PVP@nCP-PVP is fully characterized and the H2O2 releasing kinetics and mechanisms are investigated. The H2O2 release longevity of nCP increased with the concentration of controlled release material (CRM) encapsulated shell, while the production of H2O2 decreased inversely. The acidic condition is favorable for increasing H2O2 production by promoting the complex decomposition of nCP. The low temperature prolonged the longevity of nCP and suppressed the competitive side reaction for producing O2. The release of H2O2 is consistent with zero-order reaction kinetics and the release of O2 is consistent with first-order reaction kinetics. At last, different nCP composites were employed to construct a Fenton-like system for the degradation of nitrobenzene (NB). The degradation rate was raised from 57.6% by Fe (II)/nCP to 70.0% and 93.7% by Fe (II)/nCP-PVP and Fe (II)/PVP@nCP-PVP systems, respectively. These findings demonstrate that PVP@nCP-PVP has significant advantages in repairing organically contaminated groundwater. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: Groundwater contamination poses a great threat to human health and ecosystems. In-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is a widely used groundwater remediation technology. Calcium peroxide (CP) as solid hydrogen peroxide showed merits of low cost and high stability, but the further application was limited due to its violent chemical reaction and short longivity in groundwater . In this work, we prepared polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated controlled release nCP (PVP@nCP-PVP) for modulating the release of H2O2. The investigation of H2O2 release kinetics under various environmental conditions enhances the understanding of the inherent relationship between the H2O2 release performance of controlled-release materials and contamination remediation. The feasibility using macromolecules preparing controlled-release oxidizing agents was confirmed, providing a novel solution for groundwater contamination remediation.

Abstract
Groundwater is an important component of water resources. Mixed pollutants comprising heavy metals (HMs) and petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) from industrial activities can contaminate groundwater through such processes as rainfall infiltration, runoff and discharge, which pose direct threats to human health through the food chain or drinking water. In situ remediation of contaminated groundwater is an important way to improve the quality of a water environment, develop water resources and ensure the safety of drinking water. Bioremediation and permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) were discussed in this paper as they were effective and affordable for in situ remediation of complex contaminated groundwater. In addition, media types, technology combinations and factors for the PRBs were highlighted. Finally, insights and outlooks were presented for in situ remediation technologies for complex groundwater contaminated with HMs and PHs. The selection of an in situ remediation technology should be site specific. The remediation of complex contaminated groundwater can be approached from various perspectives, including the development of economical materials, the production of slow-release and encapsulated materials, and a combination of multiple technologies. This review is expected to provide technical guidance and assistance for in situ remediation of complex contaminated groundwater.

Abstract
Calcium peroxide (CP) is an oxidizing agent that can gradually release hydrogen peroxide (HP) to achieve selective killing of cyanobacteria in water blooms, and reduce the phosphorus content in the water column. Despite the potential of CP for use in cyanobacterial water bloom disposal, there is a lack of research on the mechanism of oxidative damage on cyanobacterial cells by calcium peroxide. Further studies are required to comprehend the underlying scientific principles and potential risks and benefits of applying this approach to cyanobacteria disposal. In this investigation, we employed varying doses of CP for the treatment of Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa), which resulted in the following findings: (1) the HP released from CP can damage the photosystem II of M. aeruginosa, reduce cell photosynthetic pigment content, intensify the degree of membrane lipid peroxidation, and increase the extracellular protein content; (2) CP significantly increased the soluble extracellular polysaccharide (sEPS) and bound extracellular polysaccharide (bEPS) content of cells (p < 0.05), causing the cells to exist as agglomerates and effectively allowing them to flocculate and precipitate, reducing the turbidity of the water body; (3) The increased dose elevated the pH and calcium ions significantly decreased the orthophosphate content, resulting in an increase in extracellular alkaline phosphatase activity, but possibly increasing the total extracellular nitrogen content. These results suggested that CP is an effective chemical algaecide for cyanobacteria, and has the potential to be applied to dispose of cyanobacterial blooms while reducing the phosphorus content of the water column and further inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cells.

Abstract
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) belongs to the cellulose ether family that has hydroxyl groups substituted by hydrophobic methyl groups (DS) and hydrophilic hydroxypropyl groups (MS). Herein, the interactions between water molecules and cryogels prepared with HPMC in the presence and absence of a linear nonionic surfactant, as well as CaO2 microparticles, which react with water producing O2, were systematically investigated by sorption experiments and Time-Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Regardless of the DS and MS, most water molecules presented transverse relaxation time t2 typical of intermediate water and a small population of more tightly bound water. HPMC cryogels with the highest DS of 1.9 presented the slowest swelling rate of 0.519 ± 0.053 gwater/(g.s) and the highest contact angle values 85.250o ± 0.004o, providing the best conditions for a slow reaction between CaO2 and water. The presence of surfactant favored hydrophobic interactions that allowed the polar head of the surfactant to be exposed to the medium, resulting in a higher swelling rate and lower contact angle values. The HPMC with the highest MS presented the fastest swelling rate and the lowest contact angle. These findings are relevant for the formulations and reactions, where tuning the swelling kinetics is crucial for the final application.

Erkurt FE, Mert A. Eco-friendly oxidation of a reactive textile dye by CaO 2: effects of specific independent parameters. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2023; 44:3294-3315.

Abstract
Textile wastewater containing dyes poses significant risks to the environment. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) effectively eliminate dyes by converting them into harmless substances. However, AOPs have drawbacks such as sludge formation, metal toxicity, and high cost. As an alternative to AOPs, calcium peroxide (CaO2) offers an eco-friendly and potent oxidant for dye removal. Unlike certain AOPs that generate sludge, CaO2 can be directly employed without resulting in sludge formation. This study examines the use of CaO2 for oxidizing Reactive Black 5 (RB5) in textile wastewater without any activator. Various independent factors-pH, CaO2 dosage, temperature, and certain anions-were investigated for their influence on the oxidation process. The effects of these factors on dye oxidation were analyzed using the Multiple Linear Regression Method (MLR). CaO2 dosage was determined to be the most influential parameter for RB5 oxidation, while the optimal pH for oxidation with CaO2 was found to be 10. The study determined that 0.5 g of CaO2 achieved approximately 99% efficiency in oxidizing 100 mg/L of RB5. Additionally, the study revealed that the oxidation process is endothermic, with an activation energy (Ea) and standard enthalpy (ΔH°) for RB5 oxidation by CaO2 determined as 31.135 kJ mol-1 and 110.4 kJ mol-1, respectively. The presence of anions decreased RB5 oxidation, with decreasing effectiveness observed in the order of PO43-, SO42-, HCO3-, Cl-, CO32-, and NO3-. Overall, this research highlights CaO2 as an effective, easy-to-use, eco-friendly, and cost-efficient method for removing RB5 from textile wastewater.

Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:990. [PMID: 37370309 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12060990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Periodontitis is a common global disease caused by bacterial dysbiosis leading to tissue destruction, and it is strongly associated with anaerobic bacterial colonization. Therapeutic strategies such as oxygen therapy have been developed to positively influence the dysbiotic microbiota, and the use of oxygen-releasing substances may offer an added benefit of avoiding systemic effects commonly associated with antibiotics taken orally or hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Therefore, the oxygen release of calcium peroxide (CaO2) was measured using a dissolved oxygen meter, and CaO2 solutions were prepared by dissolving autoclaved CaO2 in sterile filtered and deionized water. The effects of CaO2 on planktonic bacterial growth and metabolic activity, as well as on biofilms of Streptococcus oralis and Porphyromonas gingivalis, were investigated through experiments conducted under anaerobic conditions. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of CaO2 as an antimicrobial agent for the treatment of periodontitis. Results showed that CaO2 selectively inhibited the growth and viability of P. gingivalis (p < 0.001) but had little effect on S. oralis (p < 0.01), indicating that CaO2 has the potential to selectively affect both planktonic bacteria and mono-species biofilms of P. gingivalis. The results of this study suggest that CaO2 could be a promising antimicrobial agent with selective activity for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Tetracyclines (TC) frequently detected in the aqueous environment pose threats to humans and ecosystems. The synergistic technology coupling ultrasound (US) and calcium peroxide (CaO2) has a great potential to abate TC in wastewater. However, the degradation efficiency and detailed mechanism of TC removal in the US/CaO2 system is unclear. This work was carried out to assess the performance and mechanism of TC removal in the US/CaO2 system. The results demonstrated that 99.2% of TC was degraded by the combination of 15 mM CaO2 with ultrasonic power of 400 W (20 kHz), but only about 30% and 4.5% of TC was removed by CaO2 (15 mM) or US (400 W) alone process, respectively. Experiments using specific quenchers and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis indicated that the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH), superoxide radicals (O2-•), and single oxygen (1O2) in the process, whereas •OH and 1O2 were mainly responsible for the degradation of TC. The removal of TC in the US/CaO2 system has a close relationship with the ultrasonic power, the dosage of CaO2 and TC, and the initial pH. The degradation pathway of TC in the US/CaO2 process was proposed based on the detected oxidation products, and it mainly included N,N-dedimethylation, hydroxylation, and ring-opening reactions. The presence of 10 mM common inorganic anions including chloridion (Cl-), nitrate ion (NO3-), sulfate ion (SO42-), and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) showed negligible influences on the removal of TC in the US/CaO2 system. The US/CaO2 process could efficiently remove TC in real wastewater. Overall, this work firstly demonstrated that •OH and 1O2 mainly contributed to the removal of pollutants in the US/CaO2 system, which was remarkable for understanding the mechanisms of CaO2-based oxidation process and its future application.

Abstract
Irrigation water in rice cultivation significantly affects the arsenic (As) mobilization in the paddy field soil. This research assessed the effect of rainwater (RW) and groundwater (GW) on the dissolution dynamics of arsenic (As) in paddy field soil. Up-flow column flooding experiments were conducted continuously for 80 d with simulated RW and GW to evaluate As dissolution phenomena in actual field conditions. Arsenic dissolution from the soil was lower in GW (309 μg/kg) irrigation than in RW flooding conditions (1086 μg/kg). The redox potential (Eh) of the soil pore water decreased, and pH increased over-irrigation time in both flooding conditions. The dissolution of arsenic (As) and iron (Fe) in the soil pore increased, while the dissolution of manganese (Mn) decreased over flooding time. The release of As in the soil pore water was attributed to the dissolution of Fe-As and Mn-As minerals and microbial reduction of As. Fe-As dissolution ratios in the soil pore water were relatively low and estimated as 0.68 mol/mol and 4.9 mol/mol for RW and GW, respectively. The dissolution of As and Mn dominated in the initial phase (0-40 d) of flooding, while the dissolution of As and Fe dominated in the second phase (40-80 d). The release of As was much lower in GW flooding than in RW flooding conditions. The Presence of Ca, Mg, and Mn in the GW facilitated the reduction of As dissolution by precipitating Ca-As and Mg-As and the oxidizing dissolved Mn in the soil pore water. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of As release during monsoon flooding and groundwater flooding to assess the potential risks of As contamination in rice grown in paddy field soils.

Abstract
In this study, CaO2 was used as a capping material to control the release of Phosphate (P) and tungsten (W) from the sediment due to its oxygen-releasing and oxidative properties. The results revealed significant decreases in SRP and soluble W concentrations after the addition of CaO2. The mechanisms of P and W adsorption by CaO2 were mainly chemisorption and ligand exchange mechanisms. In addition, the results showed significant increases in HCl-P and amorphous and poorly crystalline(oxyhydr)oxides bound W after the addition of CaO2. The highest reduction rates of sediment SRP and soluble W release were 37 and 43%, respectively. Furthermore, CaO2 can promote the redox of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). On the other hand, a significant positive correlation was observed between SRP/soluble W and soluble Fe (II) and between SRP/soluble W and soluble Mn, indicating that the effects of CaO2 on Fe and Mn redox play a crucial role in controlling P and W releases from sediments. However, the redox of Fe plays a key role in controlling sediment P and W release. Therefore, CaO2 addition can simultaneously inhibit sediment internal P and W release.

Abstract
Biochar has a great potential in the stabilization of soil heavy metals; however, the application can actually enhance the mobility of Arsenic (As) in soil. Here, a biochar-coupled calcium peroxide system was proposed to control the increase in As mobility caused by biochar amendment in paddy soil environment. The capability of rice straw biochar pyrolyzed at 500 °C (RB) and CaO2 to control As mobility was evaluated by incubation for 91 days. CaO2 encapsulation was performed for pH control of CaO2, and As mobility was evaluated using a mixture of RB + CaO2 powder (CaO2-p), and RB + CaO2 bead (CaO2-b), respectively. The control soil solely and RB alone were included for comparison. The combination of RB with CaO2 exhibited remarkable performance in controlling As mobility in soil, and As mobility decreased by 40.2% (RB + CaO2-p) and 58.9% (RB + CaO2-b) compared to RB alone. The result was due to high dissolved oxygen (6 mg L-1 in RB + CaO2-p and RB + CaO2-b) and calcium concentrations (296.3 mg L-1 in RB + CaO2-b); oxygen (O2) and Ca2+ derived from CaO2 is able to prevent the reductive dissolution and chelate-promoted dissolution of As bound to iron (Fe) oxide by biochar. This study revealed that the simultaneous application of CaO2 and biochar could be a promising way to mitigate the environmental risk of As.

Abstract
In the era of the current epidemic, it is urgent to control pathogens in sewage, eliminate the source of infection, and optimize the technology for killing pathogens. Combining calcium peroxide (CaO2) with sunlight is considered a potentially efficient, economical, and eco-friendly method for pathogen-contaminated water remediation. This paper evaluated the solar activating properties of CaO2 for inactivating pathogenic indicators and explored the roles of reactive species contributing to pathogen inactivation. Moreover, these reactive species' average steady-state concentrations and second-order reaction rate were tentatively explored, and mechanistic model for photoinactivation were establishment. Pathogen's inactivation was mainly attributed to direct photoinactivation (13∼50%) and exogenous indirect mechanisms with corresponding contributions of reactive species, i.e., OH- (14∼23%), 1O2 (12∼28%), •OH (20∼32%), O2•- (12∼16%), and H2O2 (6∼11%). Furthermore, cell membrane rupture and DNA damage were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) experiments. Among experiments on common aqueous constituents influencing photoinactivation, copper and iron ions were found to promote a pathogen-inactivating ability of the system, while fulvic acids (FA) and humic acid (HA) had the opposite effect. This study revealed the potential of CaO2/sunlight to inactivate pathogens and laid a foundation for its application in inactivating pathogens in surface water.

Abstract
Phenolic acid is a well-known allelochemical, but also a pollutant in soil and water impeding crop production. Biochar is a multifunctional material widely used to mitigate the phenolic acids allelopathic effect. However, phenolic acid absorbed by biochar can still be released. In order to improve the removal efficiency of phenolic acids by biochar, the biochar-dual oxidant (BDO) composite particles were synthesized in this study, and the underlying mechanism of the BDO particles in ameliorating p-coumaric acid (p-CA) oxidative damage to tomato seed germination was revealed. Upon p-CA treatment, the BDO composite particles application increased the radical length, radical surface area, and germination index by 95.0%, 52.8%, and 114.6%, respectively. Compared to using biochar or oxidants alone, the BDO particles addition resulted in a higher removal rate of p-CA and produced more O2•-, HO•, SO4•- and 1O2 radicals via autocatalytic action, suggesting that BDO particles removed phenolic acid by both adsorption and free radical oxidation. The addition of BDO particles maintained the levels of the antioxidant enzyme activity close to the control, and reduced the malondialdehyde and H2O2 by 49.7% and 49.5%, compared to the p-CA treatment. Integrative metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed that 14 key metabolites and 62 genes were involved in phenylalanine and linoleic acid metabolism, which increased dramatically under p-CA stress but down-regulated with the addition of BDO particles. This study proved that the use of BDO composite particles could alleviate the oxidative stress of phenolic acid on tomato seeds. The findings will provide unprecedented insights into the application and mechanism of such composite particles as continuous cropping soil conditioners.

Abstract
Groundwater pollution is one of the major environmental concerns. The entrance of pollutants into the oligotrophic groundwater ecosystems alters native microbial community structure and metabolism. This study investigated the application of innovative Small Bioreactor Chambers and CaO2 nanoparticles for phenol removal within continuous-flow sand-packed columns for 6 months. Scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis were conducted to indicate the impact of attached biofilm on sand surfaces in bioremediation columns. Then, the influence of each method on the microbial biodiversity of the column’s groundwater was investigated by next-generation sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. The results indicated that the simultaneous application of biostimulation and bioaugmentation completely eliminated phenol during the first 42 days. However, 80.2% of phenol remained in the natural bioremediation column at the end of the experiment. Microbial diversity was decreased by CaO2 injection while order-level groups known for phenol degradation such as Rhodobacterales and Xanthomonadales dominated in biostimulation columns. Genome-resolved comparative analyses of oligotrophic groundwater prokaryotic communities revealed that Burkholderiales, Micrococcales, and Cytophagales were the dominant members of the pristine groundwater. Six-month exposure of groundwater to phenol shifted the microbial population towards increasing the heterotrophic members of Desulfobacterales, Pseudomonadales, and Xanthomonadales with the degradation potential of phenol and other hydrocarbons.

Treatment of sewage sludge hydrothermal carbonization aqueous phase by Fe(II)/CaO 2 system: Oxidation behaviors and mechanism of organic compounds. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 158:164-175. [PMID: 36716656 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2023.01.016] [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: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 01/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The Fe(II)/CaO2 system with a stable oxidant and a low-cost homogeneous activating agent has been considered as a prospective process for the disposal of wastewater. The system was constructed to treat sewage sludge hydrothermal carbonization aqueous phase (HTC-AP) in this study. As the hydrothermal temperature increased, the organics in the HTC-AP were first decomposed and then cyclized, while the Maillard reaction occurs throughout the stage. The oxidation efficiency of the Fe(II)/CaO2 system was related to the composition of organics in HTC-AP, and the removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by the system was 38.56 % in the HTC-AP obtained by hydrothermal treatment at 220 °C. Redundancy analysis showed that the low molecular weight organics, hydrophobic acids, and hydrophobic neutral components were beneficial to DOC removal, while Maillard products and cyclization products were hard to be oxidized to CO2 and H2O. The CN functional group of the protein facilitated DOC removal, and some organics in HTC-AP were oxidized to acids and phenols. The energy input to remove DOC in Fe(II)/CaO2 system was 27.74 MJ per kg carbon. This study provides a low-energy consumption Fe(II)/CaO2 system for the post-treatment of HTC-APs and explores the applicability of the system.

Effective Removal of Glyphosate from Aqueous Systems Using Synthesized PEG-Coated Calcium Peroxide Nanoparticles: Kinetics Study, H 2O 2 Release Performance and Degradation Pathways. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15030775. [PMID: 36772076 PMCID: PMC9919818 DOI: 10.3390/polym15030775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl glycine) is a non-selective, broad-spectrum organophosphate herbicide. Its omnipresent application with large quantity has made glyphosate as a problematic contaminant in water. Therefore, an effective technology is urgently required to remove glyphosate and its metabolites from water. In this study, calcium peroxide nanoparticles (nCPs) were functioned as an oxidant to produce sufficient hydroxyl free radicals (·OH) with the presence of Fe2+ as a catalyst using a Fenton-based system. The nCPs with small particle size (40.88 nm) and high surface area (28.09 m2/g) were successfully synthesized via a co-precipitation method. The synthesized nCPs were characterized using transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques. Under the given conditions (pH = 3.0, initial nCPs dosage = 0.2 g, Ca2+/Fe2+ molar ratio = 6, the initial glyphosate concentration = 50 mg/L, RT), 99.60% total phosphorus (TP) removal and 75.10% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal were achieved within 75 min. The degradation process fitted with the Behnajady-Modirshahla-Ghanbery (BMG) kinetics model. The H2O2 release performance and proposed degradation pathways were also reported. The results demonstrated that calcium peroxide nanoparticles are an efficient oxidant for glyphosate removal from aqueous systems.

Abstract
The sewer system is a significant source of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and greenhouse gases which has attracted extensive interest from researchers. In this study, a novel combined dosing strategy using nitrate and calcium peroxide (CaO2) was proposed to simultaneously control sulfide and greenhouse gases, and its performance was evaluated in laboratory-scale reactors. Results suggested that the addition of nitrate and CaO2 improved the effectiveness of sulfide control. And the combination index method further proved that nitrate and CaO2 were synergistic in controlling sulfide. Meanwhile, the combination of nitrate and CaO2 substantially reduced greenhouse gas emissions, especially the carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). The microbial analysis revealed that the combined addition greatly stimulated the accumulation of nitrate reducing-sulfide oxidizing bacteria (NR-SOB) that participate in anoxic nitrate-dependent sulfide oxidation, while the abundance of heterotrophic denitrification bacteria (hNRB) was reduced significantly. Moreover, the presence of oxygen and alkaline chemicals generated by CaO2 facilitated the inhibition of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) activities. Therefore, the nitrate dosage was diminished significantly. On the other hand, the generated alkaline chemicals promoted CO2 elimination and inhibited the activities of methanogens, leading to a decrease of CO2 and CH4 fluxes, which facilitated elimination of greenhouse effects. The intermittent dosing test showed that the nitrate and CaO2 could be applied intermittently for sulfide removal. And the chemical cost of intermittent dosing strategy was reduced by 85 % compared to the continuous dosing nitrate strategy. Therefore, intermittent dosing nitrate combined with CaO2 is probably an effective and economical approach to control sulfide and greenhouse gases in sewer systems.

Abstract
This work designed and prepared a novel heterojunction composite NiO/BaTiO3 through a method of photodeposition and used it in piezocatalytic dye removal for the first time. Results of the piezocatalytic test indicated that the NiO/BaTiO3 composite presented superior efficiency and stability in the RhB degradation under the vibration of ultrasonic waves. The best NiO/BaTiO3 sample synthesized under light irradiation for 2 h displayed an RhB degradation rate of 2.41 h-1, which was 6.3 times faster than that of pure BaTiO3. By optimizing the piezocatalytic reaction conditions, the degradation rate constant of NiO/BaTiO3 can further reach 4.14 h-1 A variety of systematic characterizations were executed to determine the reason for the excellent piezocatalytic performance of NiO/BaTiO3. The band potentials of NiO and BaTiO3 are found to coincide, and at their contact interface, they may create a type-II p-n heterojunction structure. Driven by the potential difference and the built-in electric field, piezoelectrically enriched charge carriers can migrate between NiO and BaTiO3, resulting in improved efficiency in charge separation and an increase in the piezoelectric catalytic performance. This study may provide a potential composite catalyst and a promising idea for the design of highly efficient catalysts in the field of piezoelectric catalysis.

Abstract
Abstract
To overcome the lack of dissolved oxygen in high-density aquaculture water, a hydrogen peroxide-acrylic resin inclusion complex with sustained oxygen releasing effect was designed and prepared. The resin was synthesized by emulsion polymerization of acrylic acid, methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate in a mass ratio of 2: 3: 5, and neutralized with sodium hydroxide solution by 50%. The resin solution was mixed in a mixture of urea and 30% hydrogen peroxide solution (CO(NH2)2: H2O2, 1: 1, mol: mol), and dried at 40 °C for 4 h to obtain the hydrogen peroxide-acrylic resin inclusion complex. The product with 4.0% resin by mass of hydrogen oxygen solution, could release oxygen for 92 h in pond water. After optimization by adding a small amount of NaCl, Na2SO4, and EDTA, it was mixed with calcium carbonate and magnesium stearate in a mass ratio of 5: 4: 0.9, and pressed into tablets (1.2 × 0.6 cm, 0.99 g). One tablet in 50 L simulated micro ecosystem aquaculture water with 20 of Carassius auratus fish could release oxygen for 116 h and brought fish with 83.3% of survival rate higher than 51.7 and 70.0% of blank and sodium percarbonate groups.

Abstract
Waste activated sludge is a renewable source for biohydrogen production, whereas the presence of complex biopolymers limits the hydrolysis step during this process, and thus pretreatment is required to disintegrate the sludge biomass. In this study, the feasibility of utilizing waste activated sludge to produce biohydrogen by improving the solubilization by means of thermo CaO2 engendered sonication disintegration (TCP-US) was studied. The optimized condition for extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) dissociation was obtained at the CaO2 dosage of 0.05 g/g SS at 70 °C. The maximum disintegration after EPS removal was achieved at the sonic specific energy input of 1612.8 kJ/kg TS with the maximum solubilization and SS reduction of 23.7% and 18.14%, respectively, which was higher than the US alone pretreatment. Thus, this solubilization yields higher biohydrogen production of 114.3 mLH2/gCOD in TCP-US sample.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are found ubiquitously in contaminated aquatic sediments. They are difficult to degrade, particularly the high-molecular-weight PAHs (e.g., benzo[a]pyrene, BaP). In this study, CaO2 assisted with ferrous ion (Fe(II))-citric acid (CA) was applied for the first time in BaP degradation in aquatic sediment. Among the treatment processes we studied, CaO2/Fe(Ⅱ)/CA could effectively degrade BaP at circumneutral pH (7.0 ± 0.3), reaching a maximum of nearly 80% under optimal conditions (0.84 mM CaO2, 0.21 mM Fe(Ⅱ), and 0.35 mM CA in per gram of dry sediment). Contrary to some external environmental factors such as temperature, common metal ions, and natural organic matters, a certain amount of moisture content and inorganic anions (Cl-, SO42-) exhibited a positive effect on BaP degradation, which can probably be contributed to the improved mass transfer rate in the non-homogeneous sediment-water mixture and a higher level of free radicals. The degradation kinetic dominated by hydroxyl radicals included three main stages contribution ∼29.4%, ∼43.1%, and ∼2.4% to BaP degradation, respectively. Based on the theoretical calculations of density functional theory, a pathway for BaP degradation was proposed. For the treatment of actual contaminated sediment, the CaO2/Fe(II)/CA process could realize the elimination of black-odor and effective removal of PAHs from the sediment, as well as negligible ecotoxicity on benthic organisms. This study provides a reference and guidance for the use of CaO2 based Fenton-like systems in treating PAH-contaminated black-odor river sediments.

Abstract
The rebound of black-odorous occurred in organic-rich sediments has become a critical issue due to its great harm to the ecological environment. Elements such as S, C, and N play a crucial role in the biogeochemical cycle of black-odorous rivers. As electronic acceptors, Ca(NO3)2 and CaO2 can effectively remove acidified volatile sulfide (AVS) and organic matter to control the black-odorous rebound. However, the remediation mechanisms in organic-rich sediments by Ca(NO3)2 and CaO2 are unclear. The present study explored the mechanism of C-N-S interconnection degradation in organic-rich urban river sediments by adding different ratios and sequences of Ca(NO3)2 and CaO2. The results showed that Ca(NO3)2 remediation followed by CaO2 and the accepted electron ratio 1:1 of Ca(NO3)2 to CaO2 is an effective method for controlling the rebound of black-odorous and reducing the accumulation NO2--N. Mainly attributed to that, CaO2 enhanced the degradation of organic matter by stimulating enzymatic activities in the sediments, which is also the main reason for controlling the rebound of black-odorous. Since CaO2 releases O2 and •OH, which inhibit nosZgenes, NO2--N accumulates when remedied simultaneously with Ca(NO3)2 and CaO2. Co-occurrence network analysis illustrated that sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification bacteria, heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria, and sulfate-reducing bacteria interact strongly inside one module, clarifying a solid interaction of C-N-S substances among these bacteria. Our results reveal the C-N-S interconnection degradation mechanism and provide a new perspective on applying biochemical remediation in organic-rich urban river sediments.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a serious obstacle in cancer treatment. The aberrant vascular network as well as the abnormal extracellular matrix arrangement results in formation of a hypoxic regions in tumors which show high resistance to the curing. Hypoxia makes the cancer treatment challengeable via two mechanisms; first and foremost, hypoxia changes the cell metabolism and leads the cells towards an aggressive and metastatic phenotype and second, hypoxia decreases the efficiency of the various cancer treatment modalities. Most of the cancer treatment methods including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy and immunotherapy are negatively affected by the oxygen deprivation. Therefore, the regional oxygenation is requisite to alleviate the negative impacts of the hypoxia on tumor cells and tumor therapy modalities. A great deal of effort has been put forth to resolve the problem of hypoxia in tumors. Peroxides have gained tremendous attention as oxygen generating components in cancer therapy. The concurrent loading of the peroxides and cancer treatment components into a single delivery system can bring about a multipurpose delivery system and substantially encourage the success of the cancer amelioration. In this review, we have tried to after the description of a relation between hypoxia and cancer treatment modalities, discuss the role of peroxides in tumor hyperoxygenation and cancer therapy success. Thereafter, we have summarized a number of vehicles for the delivery of the peroxide alone or in combination with other therapeutic components for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Herein, a novel heterogeneous nanozyme with peroxidase (POD)-like activity was conducted to achieve ultrasensitive visual detection of calcium peroxide (CaO2) in flour by the assembly of binary copper-trapped mesoporous silica layer coated magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 @SiO2 @CuO NPs). The prepared nanozymes were characterized using HRTEM, SEM, FT-IR, XRD, DLS, and EIS, which displayed a dispersed core-shell structure with a uniform diameter of approximately 100 nm. The nanozymes exhibited remarkable and stable POD-like activity in a wide range of pH values, incubation temperature, and reaction time, and the optimum catalytic activity was obtained at pH 3.6, 37 °C, and 10 min. The quantification range of CaO2 of this method is 0.1-5 mM with a limit as low as 5.6 × 10-3 mM, and it is not affected by multiple interferences. In conclusion, this detection method is sensitive, stable, low-cost, and simple to operate, so it has broad application prospects in the detection of food additives such as CaO2.

Abstract
We investigated the impact of oxygen on a strictly anaerobic, methanogenic benzene-degrading enrichment culture derived decades ago from oil-contaminated sediment. The culture includes a benzene fermenter from Deltaproteobacteria candidate clade Sva0485 (referred to as ORM2) and methanogenic archaea. A one-time injection of 0.1 mL air , simulating a small leak into 30 mL batch culture bottle, had no measurable impact on benzene degradation rates, although retrospectively, a tiny enrichment of aerobic taxa was detected. A subsequent 100 times larger injection of air stalled methanogenesis and caused drastic perturbation of the microbial community. A benzene-degrading Pseudomonas became highly enriched and consumed all available oxygen. Anaerobic benzene-degrading ORM2 cell numbers plummeted during this time; re-growth and associated recovery of methanogenic benzene degradation took almost 1 year. These results highlight the oxygen sensitivity of this methanogenic culture and confirm that the mechanism for anaerobic biotransformation of benzene is independent of oxygen, fundamentally different from established aerobic pathways, and is carried out by distinct microbial communities. The study also highlights the importance of including microbial decay in characterizing and modeling mixed microbial communities.

Abstract
Non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) pose a serious risk to the soil-groundwater environment. Coupling surfactants with in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technology is a promising strategy, which is attributed to the enhanced desorption and solubilization efficiency of NAPL contaminants. However, the complex interactions among surfactants, oxidation systems, and NAPL contaminants have not been fully revealed. This review provides a comprehensive overview on the development of surfactant-coupled ISCO technology focusing on the effects of surfactants on oxidation systems and NAPLs degradation behavior. Specifically, we discussed the compatibility between surfactants and oxidation systems, including the non-productive consumption of oxidants by surfactants, the role of surfactants in catalytic oxidation systems, and the loss of surfactants solubilization capacity during oxidation process. The effect of surfactants on the degradation behavior of NAPL contaminants is then thoroughly summarized in terms of degradation kinetics, byproducts and degradation mechanisms. This review demonstrates that it is crucial to minimize the negative effects of surfactants on NAPL contaminants oxidation process by fully understanding the interaction between surfactants and oxidation systems, which would promote the successful implementation of surfactant-coupled ISCO technology in remediation of NAPLs-contaminated sites.

Abstract
Water polluted by pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) and water-borne pathogens urgently need to develop eco-friendly and advanced water treatment techniques. This paper evaluates the potential of using calcium peroxide (CaO2), a safe and biocompatible oxidant both PhACs (thiamphenicol, florfenicol, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and primidone) and pathogens (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) in water. This paper evaluates the potential of using calcium peroxide (CaO2) as a safe and biocompatible oxidant to remove both PhACs (thiamphenicol, florfenicol, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and primidone) and pathogens (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) in water. The increased CaO2 dosage increased efficiencies of PhACs attenuation and pathogens inactivation, and both exhibited pseudo-first-order degradation kinetics (R2 > 0.90). PhACs attenuation were mainly via oxidization (H2O2, •OH/O•-, and O2•-) and alkaline hydrolysis (OH-) from CaO2. Moreover, concentrations of these reactive species and their contributions to PhACs attenuation were quantified, and mechanistic model was established and validated. Besides, possible transformation pathways of target PhACs except primidone were proposed. As for pathogen indicators, the suitable inactivation dosage of CaO2 was 0.1 g L-1. The oxidability (18-64%) and alkalinity (82-36%) generated from CaO2 played vital roles in pathogen inactivation. In addition, CaO2 at 0.01-0.1 g L-1 can be applied in remediation of SW contaminated by PhACs and pathogenic bacteria, which can degrade target PhACs with efficiencies of 21-100% under 0.01 g L-1 CaO2, and inactivate 100% of test bacteria under 0.1 g L-1 CaO2. In short, capability of CaO2 to remove target PhACs and microbial pathogens reveals its potential to be used as a representative technology for the advanced treatment of waters contaminated by organic compounds and microbial pathogens.

Abstract
Piezoelectric materials have demonstrated applicability in clean energy production and environmental wastewater remediation through their ability to initiate a number of catalytic reactions. In this study, we used a conventional sol-gel method to synthesize lead-free rhombohedral R3c bismuth sodium titanate (BNT) particles of various sizes. When used as a piezocatalyst to generate H2 through water splitting, the BNT samples provided high production rates (up to 506.70 μmol g-1 h-1). These piezocatalysts also degraded the organic pollutant methylene blue (MB, 20 mg L-1) with high efficiency (up to k = 0.039 min-1), suggesting their potential to treat polluted water. Finally, we found that the piezopotential caused band tilting in the semiconductor and aided charge transfer such that recombination was suppressed and the rate of H2 production increased. The mechanism of piezoelectric catalysis involved oxygen vacancies, the size of the catalyst, and the internal electric field playing important roles to enhance electron-hole separation, which further enhanced the catalysis reactions.

Abstract
The oxygen level is key benthic ecosystem health. In this study, a new kind of slow-release oxygen material (SROM) was developed and evaluated in a simulation experiment. The effects of SROM dose and dosing method on the pH and DO, the release of nitrogen and phosphorus, and greenhouse gas emissions were studied. The restoration of typical benthic species (Ceratophyllum represented submerged plants and Cipangopaludina cahayensis represented benthic animals) was also evaluated based on the analysis of catalase and peroxidase activities, survival rate, and biomass. The result shows that dosing SROM on mud surfaces had a better effect than dosing in mud. When dosing SROM on the surface of mud at a suitable dose, the DO of water increased from 0.5 mg/L to higher than 4 mg/L, and the pH was below 9, which would be suitable for the survival of benthos. Dosing SROM could also cause the concentrations of nutrient elements (NH4+-N, TN, TP, and PO43-) in overlying water and the emission flux of CH4 and CO2 to decrease. In addition, the growth of Ceratophyllum and Cipangopaludina cahayensis was accelerated, which benefited the restoration of benthic ecosystems. For microbial community structure, various of bacteria for nitrogen and the phosphorus cycle were found in the sediment (including aerobic denitrifying bacteria). Dosing SROM could increase the Simpson index of the bacterial community, means an increase in bacterial diversity. The results show that the dosing of SROM could be an effective method in the early stage of benthic habitat restoration.

Abstract
The mobilization of As in paddy soils is affected by iron redox cycles. In this regard, calcium peroxide (CaO2) can be used as an alternative to maintaining oxidizing conditions by liberating oxygen under flooding environments. Nevertheless, the problem of increase in pH by CaO2 dissolution remains unresolved. In this study, the encapsulation of CaO2 using alginate is proposed. Encapsulated CaO2 (CaO2-b) using 1% sodium alginate was applied to As-contaminated soil to evaluate the ability of pH control and As mobility during flooding conditions. The pH increased rapidly from 6.8 to 9.0 in unencapsulated CaO2 (CaO2-p) within 1 day, while CaO2-b increased slowly to 8.6 over 91 days. CaO2 created an oxidizing condition in the soil by providing oxygen, thus effectively prevented the reductive dissolution of iron. The mobility of As decreased by 50% (CaO2-p) and 83% (CaO2-b) compared with that of the control soil. Furthermore, the As in pore water was three times lower than CaO2-p because CaO2-b released 1.8 times more Ca2+ to form Ca-As complexes than CaO2-p. Consequently, the encapsulated CaO2 reduced the negative effects of CaO2 treatment on increasing pH of the soil and furnished a better environmental condition for inhibiting As mobility.

Abstract
Accidental oil leaks and spills can often result in severe soil and groundwater pollution. In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) is a powerful and efficient remediation technology. In this review, the applications and recent advances of three commonly applied in-situ oxidants (hydrogen peroxide, persulfate, and permanganate), and the gap in remediation efficiency between lab-scale and field-scale applications is critically assessed. Feasible improvements for these measures, especially solutions for the 'rebound effect', are discussed. The removal efficiencies reported in 108 research articles related to petroleum-contaminated soil and groundwater were analyzed. The average remediation efficiency of groundwater (82.7%) by the three oxidants was higher than that of soil (65.8%). A number of factors, including non-aqueous phase liquids, adsorption effect, the aging process of contaminants, low-permeability zones, and vapor migration resulted in a decrease in the remediation efficiency and caused the residual contaminants to rebound from 19.1% of the original content to 57.7%. However, the average remediation efficiency of ISCO can be increased from 40.9% to 75.5% when combined with other techniques. In the future, improving the utilization efficiency of reactive species and enhancing the contact efficiency between oxidants and petroleum contaminants will be worthy of attention. Multi-technical combinations, such as the ISCO coupled with phase-transfer, viscosity control, controlled release or natural attenuation, can be effective methods to solve the rebound problem.

Abstract
The ability of solid peroxides to provide sustained release of both oxygen and hydrogen peroxide makes them potentially suitable for oxygen release or antibacterial applications. Most recent reports using solid peroxides to augment oxygen levels do so by compounding solid peroxide powders in polymers to retard the aqueous decomposition. Compounds with peroxidase activity may be added to reduce hydrogen peroxide toxicity. Peroxides are rarely pure and are mixed with oxide and themselves decompose to form hydroxides in water. Therefore, even if buffering strategies are used, locally the pH at the surface of aqueously immersed peroxide particles is inevitably alkaline. Since pH affects the decomposition of peroxides and hydrogen peroxide stability, this study compared for the first-time the aqueous decomposition products of hydrogen and inorganic peroxides that are in use or have been used for medical applications of have been evaluated preclinically; calcium peroxide (CaO2), magnesium peroxide (MgO2), zinc peroxide (ZnO2), sodium percarbonate (Na2CO3.1.5H2O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Since plasma can be approximated to be carbonate buffered phosphate solution, we maintained pH using carbonate and phosphate buffers and compared results with citrate buffers. For a given peroxide compound, we identified not only a strong effect of pH but also of buffer composition on the extent to which oxygen and hydrogen peroxide formation occurred. The influence of buffer composition was not previously appreciated, thereby establishing in vitro parameters for better design of intentional release of specific decomposition species. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This paper compares for the first time the aqueous decomposition products oxygen and hydrogen peroxide of solid peroxy compounds of metal cations, (calcium, magnesium, sodium and zinc) across a pH range that could feasibly be found in the body, (pH 5,7, 9) either physiologically or pathologically. We find that in addition to pH, buffer composition is also a critically important factor, making translation from in vitro models challenging. Cytotoxicity was related to hydrogen peroxide release, alkalinity and in the case of zinc peroxide to the cation itself. In vitro and preclinical studies generally report release data from polymer-peroxide composites and rarely compare peroxides with one another. Together our data provide guidance for oxygen and ROS delivery from these inorganic materials.

Simultaneous elimination of black-odor and stabilization of heavy metals in contaminated sediment using calcium peroxide/hydroxyapatite: Microbial responses and ecotoxicological effects. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 429:128298. [PMID: 35066224 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.128298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 01/03/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
In this study, laboratory-scale experiments were conducted to investigate the feasibility of the combined use of calcium peroxide and hydroxyapatite (CaO2/HAP) for simultaneous black-odor sediment remediation and heavy metal stabilization. The ecotoxicological effects of remediated sediment were also evaluated based on biological toxicity. Results showed that CaO2/HAP effectively eliminated the black-odor and simultaneously stabilized heavy metals in the sediment. Under the optimal dosage ratio of CaO2/HAP (1:2), the acid volatile sulfides decreased to approximately 20 mg/kg (dry weight, dw) and oxidation-reduction potential increased from - 165 mV to approximately - 90 mV. The leaching of heavy metals meets the strictest standards (Level I) of the "Technical Specification for Output Disposal of Contaminated Sediment Treatment Plant of River and Lake" (SZDB/Z 236-2017). The indigenous microbial community succession occurred (p < 0.01), Proteobacteria and Firmicutes accounting for 75.54% and 20.19%, respectively, were the predominant bacteria in the remediated sediment. Additionally, CaO2/HAP remediated sediments were safer and more environmentally friendly than raw sediments, and were not biotoxic to the benthic environment (p < 0.01). This study provides new insights into the combined use of the beneficial amendments remediating heavy metal-contaminated black-odor river sediment.

Abstract
The growing concern about residual antibiotics in the water environment pushes for innovative and cost-effective technologies for antibiotics removal from wastewater. In this context, various microbial electrochemical systems have been investigated as an alternative to conventional wastewater technologies that are usually ineffective for the adequate removal of antibiotics. This review article details the development of stand-alone and hybrid or integrated microbial electrochemical systems for antibiotics removal from wastewater. First, technical features, antibiotics removal efficiencies, process optimization, and technological bottlenecks of these systems are discussed. Second, a comparative summary based on the existing reports was established to provide insights into the selection between stand-alone and hybrid systems. Finally, research gaps, the relevance of recent progress in complementary areas, and future research needs have been discussed.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) remain in the site soils after relocated coking plants and oil refineries pose huge constraints to the subsequent land utilization. However, single persulfate (PS) or calcium peroxide (CP) remediation strategies can only inefficiently oxidize some PAHs in soil. This work sought to optimize PS/CP oxidation remediation strategy and verify its practical application effect in soil samples spiked with PAHs. The results showed that the mixed PS/CP oxidation remediation was better than the single oxidants strategies; it had high remediation performance in different particles and pollution loads of PAHs-contaminated soils. Simultaneously, reactive radicals (SO4·- and ·OH) were detected, and one side-product (CaSO4) was characterized. This work optimized the mixed PS/CP system (0.3 mol/L PS, and 8 g/kg CP, together with 0.18 mol/L Fe2+ and 0.11 mol/L C2O42-), and the corresponding Total-PAHs removal rate was 85.41%. Compared to the cost based on benzopyrene (BaP) removal, the study provided a cost-effective mixed PS/CP oxidation remediation technique (1.22 $/ton), widely applicable in soils polluted with various organic contaminants represented such as PAHs.

Abstract
Calcium peroxide (CaO2), a common solid peroxide, has been increasingly used in contaminated site remediation due to its ability to release oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and its environmental friendliness. Our present study is first to explore micromechnisms of CaO2 to efficaciously inactivate pathogen indicators including gram-negative bacterium of Escherichia coli (E. coli), gram-positive bacterium of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and virus of Escherichia coli-specific M13 bacteriophage (VCSM13) under low concentration (≤ 4 mmol L-1 (mM)). The inactivation mechanisms of E. coli, S. aureus (1 mmol L-1 CaO2) and VCSM13 (4 mmol L-1) were mainly attributed to OH- (32∼58%) and •OH (34∼42%), followed by H2O2 (13∼20%) and O2•- (10∼12%) generated from CaO2, with the observed morphological and physiological-associated damages. Also, average steady-state concentrations of (OH-, •OH, H2O2, and O2•-) and their reaction rate constants with E. coli and VCSM13 were determined. Accordingly, the micro-mechanism model of inactivation was established and validated, and the inactivation efficiency of the same order of magnitude of pathogen was predicted. Furthermore, during the common environmental factors, the copper ions was found to be promote CaO2 inactivation of pathogens, and dissolved organic matter (DOM) fractions had a negative effect on CaO2 inactivation. The present study explored the mechanisms of CaO2 inactivation of pathogens in real surface water, laying the foundation for its potential use in the inactivation of water-borne microbial pathogens.

Abstract
Simultaneous removal of phosphorus (P) and algae is important to mitigate eutrophication, however, it is rather challenging in remediation of harmful algal blooms (HABs)-contaminated water. In this study, a wet alginate bead functionalized by CaO2 particle formed layer by layer was prepared with an in-situ method and optimized to remove phosphorous and inhibit algae growth. The stable H2O2 release with a concentration level of 0.06 mM was observed for a period of 26 d. The content of peroxy groups (-O-O-) in the optimal bead was 0.44 mmol·g-1 through permanganate-based titration study. For solution with an initial phosphorous concentration of 10 mg·L-1, the removal was around 97% in pH 3.0-10.0. XRD, SEM, and XPS studies and kinetic modelings showed that removal of phosphorus was mainly due to formation of insoluble Ca-P compounds in the bead. The CaO2-functionalized bead inhibited algae growth with an effect lasting over 170 d, which was much better than liquid H2O2 and Ca(OH)2 bead; the phosphorous removal with an efficiency of about 70% was simultaneously obtained. Furthermore, the bead demonstrated to be effective in removing algae in the realistic water from a reservoir. In summary, this study shows that the CaO2-functionalized material is promising for simultaneous removal of phosphorous and management of HABs.
