Abstract
Photo-Fenton coupled with membrane (photo-Fenton-membrane) technology offers great potential benefits in future wastewater treatment because it can not only degrade refractory organics, but also separate different pollutants from water; additionally, it often has a membrane-self-cleaning ability. In this review, three key factors of photo-Fenton-membrane technology, photo-Fenton catalysts, membrane materials and reactor configuration, are presented. Fe-based photo-Fenton catalysts include zero-valent iron, iron oxides, Fe-metal oxides composites and Fe-based metal-organic frameworks. Non-Fe-based photo-Fenton catalysts are related to other metallic compounds and carbon-based materials. Polymeric and ceramic membranes used in photo-Fenton-membrane technology are discussed. Additionally, two kinds of reactor configurations, immobilized reactor and suspension reactor, are introduced. Moreover, we summarize the applications of photo-Fenton-membrane technology in wastewater, such as separation and degradation of pollutants, removal of Cr(VI) and disinfection. In the last section, the future prospects of photo-Fenton-membrane technology are discussed.

Fan T, Yao X, Ren H, Ma F, Liu L, Huo X, Lin T, Zhu H, Zhang Y. Multi-spectroscopic investigation of the molecular weight distribution and copper binding ability of dissolved organic matter in Dongping Lake, China. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 300:118931. [PMID: 35121017 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.118931] [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: 10/22/2021] [Revised: 01/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The properties and metal-binding abilities of dissolved organic matter (DOM) rely on its molecular weight (MW) structure. In this study, the spatial differences of DOM in compositions, MW structures, and binding mechanisms with copper (Cu2+) in Dongping Lake were investigated by applying excitation-emission matrix combining parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC), synchronous fluorescence (SF) spectra, two-dimensional correlation spectra (2D-COS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. The EDOM for the entrance of the Dawen River and PDOM for the macrophyte-dominated region were divided from DOM of Dongping Lake based on hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) and were size-fractioned into MW < 500 kDa and <100 kDa fractions. According to EEM-PARAFAC, Dongping Lake was dominated by tryptophan-like substances with MW < 500 kDa. The concentration of PDOM was higher than that of EDOM (p < 0.05). 2D-COS showed that protein-like components preceded humic-like components binding to Cu2+ regardless of sample type (215 nm > 285 nm > 310-360 nm). The Cu2+ binding capacity of DOM exhibited specific differences in space, components, and molecular weights. The humic-like component 1 (C1) and tryptophan-like component 4 (C4) of PDOM showed stronger binding abilities than those of EDOM. Endogenous tryptophan-like component 4 (C4) had a higher binding affinity for Cu2+ than humic-like components (logKa: C4 > C1 > C2) in PDOM irrespective of MW. Humic-like components with MW < 500 kDa displayed higher binding potentials for Cu2+. FTIR spectra showed that the main participants of DOM-Cu complexation included aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic groups, amide Ⅰ bands, and carboxyl functional groups. This study provides spatial-scale insights into the molecular weight structure of DOM in influencing the behavior, fate, and bioavailability of heavy metals in lakes.

WATER RESEARCH 2021; 203:117504. [PMID: 34388501 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2021.117504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Revised: 07/04/2021] [Accepted: 07/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
An integrated computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-kinetic model framework was developed to numerically describe the hydrodynamic and kinetic phenomena in a liquid-solid two phases Fluidized-bed reactor Fenton/granular activated carbon (FBR-Fenton/GAC) system. The model obtained excellent accuracy for predicting chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal in reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC) treatment under different operation conditions. Hydrodynamic evaluation demonstrated that under the quasi-steady state, the GAC particles were uniformly circulated in the bed region with two pairs of counter-rotating recirculation cells, and a clear interface layer formed between the solid and the liquid phases. Superficial liquid velocity highly affected the fluidized bed expansion and solid volume fraction, while its impact on the overall COD removal efficiency was negligible. Chemical evaluation revealed that GAC/H2O2 catalytic reaction enhanced the •OH production in FBR-Fenton/GAC process by 2.7 folds as compared to homogenous Fenton process. Fenton reaction mainly occurred in the upper liquid region and its kinetics for •OH generation significantly diminished by 75% within the first 10 min. GAC/H2O2 reaction took place in the fluidized bed region for continuous •OH generation with a relatively stable rate from 1.21 × 10-6 to 0.60 × 10-6 M/s. Along the ROC treatment with FBR-Fenton/GAC process, the simulated COD degradation rate decreased along the reaction time with 2.05 × 10-6 M/s and 2.93 × 10-7 M/s at 2 min and 60 min, respectively. Faster COD removal was attained in the fluidized bed region due to combining effects of •OH oxidation and GAC adsorption. The overall predicted COD concentration reduced from 122 to 35 mg/L, •OH oxidation and GAC adsorption contributed 59% and 41%, respectively, to the total COD removal.

In this review, the preparation approaches of catalytic membranes including blending, surface coating, and bottom-up synthesis are comprehensively summarized. The different integrated catalytic membrane systems coupled with photocatalysis, Fenton oxidation, persulfate activations, ozonation and electrocatalytic oxidation are discussed in terms of mechanisms and performance. Besides, the principles, influencing factors, advantages and issues of the different catalytic membrane/oxidation systems are outlined comparatively. Finally, the future challenges, and research directions are suggested, which is conducive to the design and development of catalytic membrane-oxidation systems for practical remediation of organic containing wastewater.

Abstract
In recent years, fluidized-bed Fenton (FBR-Fenton) process has gained more attention in treating recalcitrant industrial wastewater. FBR-Fenton combines the effectiveness of homogeneous Fenton and sludge reduction of heterogeneous Fenton. Comparing to other modified Fenton processes, FBR-Fenton has greater economical and scaling up potential. However, large consumption of Fenton reagents and strict pH control are still the bottlenecks hampering the full-scale application of FBR-Fenton. While prior reviews mainly focused on the operation and performance of FBR-Fenton process, the present study critically discussed the challenges and bottlenecks for its full-scale industrial application. This study also comprehensively reviewed the development strategies for tackling these drawbacks, mainly over the recent five years. Homogeneous FBR-Fenton, heterogeneous FBR-Fenton and heterogeneous FBR-photo-Fenton processes were classified for the first time according to their reaction mechanisms and system designs. Important operational and design parameters affecting the cost-effectiveness of all FBR-Fenton technologies were reviewed, including the fundamentals, common practices and even innovative steps for enhancing the process performance. Up-to-date applications of FBR-Fenton technologies in recalcitrant wastewater/compounds treatment were also summarized, and it was found that upscaling of heterogeneous FBR-Fenton and heterogeneous FBR-photo-Fenton processes was still very challenging. Strategies to overcome the key technical limitations and enhance process cost-effectiveness were discussed in the future perspective part. Furthermore, modelling techniques such as computational fluid dynamics model and artificial neural network were suggested to be promising modelling techniques for speeding up the full-scale applications of FBR-Fenton technologies.

Abstract
Polypropylene-based cerium wet catalytic materials (Ce/PPNW-g-PAA) were prepared through ultraviolet grafting and ion exchange technology. They were used as effective and reusable heterogeneous catalysts for rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. The physicochemical properties of Ce/PPNW-g-PAA were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), specific surface area measurements (BET), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The catalytic capacity of the Ce/PPNW-g-PAA-H2O2 system for the removal of RhB was tested in comparison with several other systems, which demonstrated that Ce/PPNW-g-PAA effectively promoted the oxidation and degradation of RhB by catalytic wet H2O2 oxidation. The results of the RhB degradation showed that Ce/PPNW-g-PAA exhibited excellent degradation performance by achieving a high removal rate for RhB (97.5%) at an initial RhB concentration of 100 mg L-1, H2O2 dosage of 5.0 mmol, Ce/PPNW-g-PAA dosage of 0.15 g L-1, and initial pH of 5.0 at 298 K. The degradation of RhB by Ce/PPNW-g-PAA conformed to the first-order kinetic reaction model. Consecutive experiments performed with the Ce/PPNW-g-PAA sample showed little activity decay, further confirming the high stability of the catalyst. In addition, the possible degradation mechanism of RhB was also investigated by XPS and electron paramagnetic resonance. The results suggested that Ce3+ and hydroxyl radical played important roles during the RhB degradation process.

Abstract
Pretreatment processes substantially modify the organic composition of landfill leachate, which affect the fouling behavior in the post-treatment of membrane filtration. In this study, the changes in the chemical composition of stabilized landfill leachate upon various pretreatments, which encompassed coagulation/flocculation (C/F), ion exchange resins (MIEX), granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption, and their combinations, were tracked via excitation emission matrix - parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC), and the membrane fouling potentials were assessed in the subsequent processes of nanofiltration (NF). Fluorescence components, fulvic-like (C1), protein-like (C2), and humic-like (C3), were identified and validated using EEM-PARAFAC. MIEX and C/F pretreatments were not effective to remove C1 and C2, which were associated with relatively small sized and hydrophilic molecules. GAC adsorption did not show any preference with the removal towards different components. These differences in the chemical heterogeneity among the variously pretreated leachates led to the discrepancies in membrane fluxes at a similar leachate concentration. The result also signified the importance of probing the chemical composition of pretreated leachate for the optimization of the post membrane filtration. The sum of C2 and C3 in the pretreated leachate showed a good correlation with reversible membrane fouling resistance (r = 0.93; p < 0.05), while C1 was highly correlated with irreversible membrane resistance (r = 0.872; P < 0.05). These findings provided a new insight into the applicability of fluorescence spectroscopy for tracking the changes in the membrane fouling potential of stabilized landfill leachate after various pretreatments.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) has been adopted to treat complex wastewater such as landfill leachate due to its high rejection of organics. In this study, the in-line adsorptive process using biochar (BC) or powdered activated carbon (PAC) was applied to a cross flow FO system to enhance the mitigation of the FO membrane fouling from landfill leachate. The changes in the leachate composition along the treatments were tracked by excitation emission matrix-parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC) to identify tryptophan-like (C1), fulvic-like (C2), and humic-like (C3) components. After a single operation of FO, the C1 was found to be the main constituent responsible for membrane fouling irrespective of varying operation conditions regarding draw solute concentrations and flow rates. Both sorbents (i.e., BC and PAC) exhibited the preferential removal behavior towards C1 > C2 > C3, which was well supported by their individual adsorption isotherm model parameters. The addition of in-line adsorption treatment to FO resulted in substantial improvements in the filtered volume (>57%) and the flux recovery (>80%) compared to the single FO operation. Without chemical cleaning of membrane, the flux was fully recovered at a dose of 10 g/L BC or 0.3 g/L of PAC. A significant and negative correlation was found between the flux recovery and the C1 of the feed leachate or the corresponding spectral peak intensity (p < 0.05) for the integrated FO system, suggesting the potential of using on-line fluorescence monitoring for the performance of the integrated system in terms of fouling mitigation. This study provided a new insight into the effectiveness of BC or PAC adsorption as the in-line integration with an FO system for the targeted removal of FO membrane foulants in landfill leachate.

Abstract
In this study, complex structured soluble lignin wastewater was treated by electro-microbial system (EMS) using different direct current (DC) application modes (CR (continuous ON), IR12h (12 h-ON/12 h-OFF) and IR2h (2 h-ON/2 h-OFF)), and physiological characteristics and microbial communities were investigated. Results showed that CR, IR12h and IR2h had higher lignin removals, which were almost two times that of the control reactor (R0′, no current), and IR2h performed best and stably. Furthermore, IR2h exhibited the lowest ohmic resistance (Rs) of electrode biofilms, which could be explained by its higher abundance of electroactive bacteria. In the activated sludge of EMS, the concentration of dehydrogenase activity (DHA) and electronic transport system (ETS) in IR2h were the highest (1.48 and 1.28 times of R0′), which contributed to its high content of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The viability of activated sludge was not affected by different DC application modes. Phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) analysis indicated that IR2h had the maximum content of C15:1 anteiso A, C16:0 and C18:0; CR increased the content of C15:0 anteiso and decreased the content of saturated fatty acids. Genus-level results revealed that lignin-degrading bacteria, Pseudoxanthomonas and Mycobacterium, could be enriched in IR2h and CR, respectively.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 362:36-44.

Abstract
The complex removal behavior of stabilized landfill leachate was explored for the treatments of Fenton oxidation (FnO) and magnetic ion exchange (MIEX®) resin using two-dimensional correlation size exclusion chromatography (2D-CoSEC) and fluorescence excitation emission matrix-parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC). The overall removal rates of the bulk parameters (∼45% for dissolved organic carbon and ∼78% for UV absorbance) were similar between the two treatment options, while distinct differences were found with respect to different molecular sizes and chemical composition. The resin treatment eliminated humic substances (HS) and low molecular weight acid (LMWA) fractions to a greater extent than other fractions (i.e., HS: 62% and LMWA: 99%), while low molecular weight neutral (LMWN) and biopolymers (BP) fractions were more effectively treated by the FnO with the removal rates of 56% and 92%, respectively. The 2D-CoSEC further revealed that the sequential or preferential changes of different size fractions with increasing the resin or H2O2 were opposite between the two treatment options in the order of HS → LMWA → LMWN → BP for MIEX®. Due to their complementary roles in treating leachate, the combined processes removed a wider ranges of different molecular sizes compared to the single operation.

Abstract
In this work, the biologically pre-treated leachate was subjected to catalytic micro-ozonation using cow-dung ash composites loaded with Fe3O4 nanoparticles (nano-Fe3O4@CDA) as the catalyst. The optimal conditions used were nano-Fe3O4@CDA dosage of 0.8 g/L, input ozone of 3.0 g/L, and reaction time of 120 min. This environment yielded the following results: The COD and color number (CN) removal reached 53% and 89%, respectively, and the BOD5/COD increased from 0.05 to 0.32. The catalytic micro-ozonation partially degraded the refractory substances into intermediates with lower molecular weight. The percentage of phenolic compounds decreased sharply from 28.08% to 8.56%, largely due to the opening of the ring as well as to the formation of organic intermediates with a low molecular weight. Based on the results culled from the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), it is evident that the nano-Fe3O4@CDA catalyst can accelerate in order to generate OH. This was the main mechanism involved in its excellent ability to degrade refractory pollutants. These results demonstrated the potential use of nano-Fe3O4@CDA as a catalyst in the catalytic micro-ozonation process.

Abstract
Fe3O4 particles decorated Zr pillared bentonite (Fe3O4/Zr-B) were successfully synthesized, which were used to treat stabilized landfill leachate by Fenton-like process. The organics removal and biodegradability were both significantly improved owing to good catalytic stability of the magnetically recoverable catalyst. With the catalyst dosage of 1.0 mg L-1, initial pH of 2 and peroxide concentration of 0.1 mmol L-1, the COD removal efficiency increased to 68% and BOD5/COD of 0.27 was achieved. According to the results of the GC-MS, Fenton-like reaction with Fe3O4/Zr-B had an excellent removal performance for almost all the heterocyclic compounds. The 3D-EEM fluorescence spectra indicated that the fluorescence intensity was dramatically reduced and the UV humic-like and fulvic-like substances were removed effectively during the catalytic degradation. It seemed advisable to implement this process as a pre-treatment to facilitate the further biological treatment.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2018; 354:33-41. [PMID: 29727788 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2018.04.059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2017] [Revised: 04/06/2018] [Accepted: 04/24/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the changes of different organic constituents in landfill leachate were tracked in Fenton oxidation processes with different operation parameters including H2O2 doses, pH, and the ratios of [H2O2]/[Fe] via fluorescence excitation emission matrix - parallel factor analysis (EEM-PARAFAC) and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS). One tryptophan-like (C1), one fulvic-like (C2), and one humic-like (C3) components were identified in the leachates. The removal behaviors of the individual fluorescent components were dependent upon the operation conditions, suggesting the existence of unique characteristics with respect to the responses to the oxidation mechanisms, which were likely altered by different operation conditions. For all tested conditions, a greater extent of removal was consistently found for C3 versus C1 and C2 except for the relatively high pH ranges (>6.0), in which C2 presented the highest removal rates. 2D-COS combined with synchronous fluorescence spectra exhibited the preferential oxidation sequence in the order of C3 > C1 > C2 with higher H2O2 doses. 2D-COS coupled with Fourier transform infrared (2D-COS-FTIR) showed that aromatic functional groups were initially oxidized, followed by the removal of carboxylic groups and the formation of inorganic functional groups and aldehyde or ketonic groups. Hetero 2D-COS maps further revealed the close association between the aromatic groups and C3, and between the carboxylic groups and C1. This study utilizing 2D-COS provided new insights into the dynamic behavior of heterogeneous landfill leachate in Fenton oxidation processes under varying operation conditions.
