Xu Y, Chen J. Activity and recyclability enhancement of pH-dependent Fe 0@BC-mediated heterogeneous sodium percarbonate (SPC)-reducing agents (RA) system. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 356:120596. [PMID: 38520858 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120596] [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: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
Dyes pose great threats to the aquatic environment and human health. Fe0-based Fenton-like systems have been widely employed for the degradation of organic dyes. However, the regulation of degradability and recyclability was still unclear. In this study, Rhodamine B (RhB) was served as the model pollutant, hydroxylamine hydrochloride was selected as the RA, the natural photocatalysis system demonstrated stable operation. RA, as performance enhancement agent, was firstly reported in micro/nano-Zero-Valent Iron@Biochar (m/nZVI@BC) based SPC-RA system. Carrier size-fractionated m/nZVI@BC was fabricated by one-step carbothermal method. As a result, RA synergistically interacted with SPC, and the reaction time reduced from 15 min to 4 min. In the 0.010 g m/nZVI@BC-mediated SPC-RA system, over 95% of RhB (100 mg·L-1, 1041.667 mg·g-1) was successfully degraded. The maximum degradation ability could still exceed 1g·g-1 via 5 times repeated applications. Meanwhile, the loss of degradability, caused by halving SPC concentration could be compensated by RA dosage measurement. The entire degradation process was predominantly dominated by free radicals (•OH> 1O2> •O2-> •CO3-). Reactive oxidizing species (ROSs) were primarily excited by α-Fe0, Fe3C and N sites of biochar (BC). Light and BC carrier dedicated slight influence. These discoveries shed a light on the activity and recyclability regulation of catalytic material, aligning with the principles of green chemistry and cleaner production. This study demonstrates a novel approach to efficient management of solid waste disposal, reuse of waste biomass, advanced treatment of dye-containing wastewater, pollution control in aquatic environments.

Abstract
The environmental problem caused by industrial emissions of NOx has been studied in the past dacades. In this study, red mud coupling with phosphorus sludge were used to enhance the solution to absorb NOx from the flue gas. Firstly, red mud reacted with the binder silicic acid in the phosphorus sludge, destroying the emulsion structure of the phosphorus sludge. Then, the P4 in the phosphorus sludge is completely released, and the P4 reacted with O2 in the flue gas to produce O3 and O. NO and NO2 contained in the flue gas reacted with the active O and O3 to produce high-valent NOx, such as NO3, N2O5. At last, the mixed slurry of red mud and phosphorus sludge absorbed the high-valent NOx, resulting in the formation of Ca5(PO4)3F along with HNO3. Using phosphorus sludge to produce O3 in the reaction process can reduce the production cost of O3 and achieve waste utilization. Meanwhile, the interaction between red mud and phosphorus sludge can promote phosphorus sludge to produce O3 and remove F- from phosphorus sludge, as well as avoid the problem of secondary pollution. This study should be helpful for red mud and phosphorus sludge utilization and flue gas denitration.

Abstract
Chlorine-Mediated Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation (Cl-EAO) technology is a promising approach for ammonia removal from wastewater due to its numerous advantages, including small infrastructure, short processing time, easy operation, high security, and high nitrogen selectivity. This paper provides a review of the ammonia oxidation mechanisms, characteristics, and anticipated applications of Cl-EAO technology. The mechanisms of ammonia oxidation encompass breakpoint chlorination and chlorine radical oxidation, although the contributions of active chlorine, Cl, and ClO remain uncertain. This study critically examines the limitations of existing research and suggests that a combination of determining free radical concentration and simulating a kinetic model would help elucidate the contributions of active chlorine, Cl, and ClO to ammonia oxidation. Furthermore, this review comprehensively summarizes the characteristics of ammonia oxidation, including kinetic properties, influencing factors, products, and electrodes. The amalgamation of Cl-EAO technology with photocatalytic and concentration technologies has the potential to enhance ammonia oxidation efficiency. Future research should concentrate on clarifying the contributions of active chlorine, Cl, and ClO to ammonia oxidation, the production of chloramines and other byproducts, and the development of more efficient anodes for the Cl-EAO process. The main objective of this review is to enhance the understanding of the Cl-EAO process. The findings presented herein contribute to the advancement of Cl-EAO technology and provide a foundation for future studies in this field.

Abstract
With the development of the chemical industry, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) have gradually become the major indoor air pollutants. Various gas treatment techniques are widely used to prevent the physical and mental health hazards of BTEX in semi-enclosed spaces. Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an alternative to chlorine as a secondary disinfectant with a strong oxidation ability, a wide range of action, and no carcinogenic effects. In addition, ClO2 has a unique permeability which allows it to eliminate volatile contaminants from the source. However, little attention has been paid to the removal of BTEX by ClO2, due to the difficulty of removing BTEX in semi-enclosed areas and the lack of testing methods for the reaction intermediates. Therefore, this study explored the performance of ClO2 advanced oxidation technology on both liquid and gaseous benzene, toluene, o-xylene, and m-xylene. The results showed that ClO2 was efficient in the removal of BTEX. The byproducts were detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the reaction mechanism was speculated using the ab initio molecular orbital calculations method. The results demonstrated that ClO2 could remove the BTEX from the water and the air without causing secondary pollution.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 235:119914. [PMID: 37028212 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
The excess nitrogen discharge into water bodies has resulted in extensive water pollution and human health risks, which has become a critical global issue. Moreover, nitrogenous wastewater contains considerable chemical energy contributed by organic pollutants and nitrogenous compounds. Therefore, the treatment of various kinds of nitrogen-containing wastewater for nitrogen removal and energy recovery is of significance. Biological methode and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are the main methods for nitrogen removal. However, biological treatment is easily inhibited by high-salinity, high ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N/NH4+-N), nitrite and toxic organics in wastewater, which limits its application. AOPs mainly induce in situ generation of highly reactive species, such as hydroxyl radical (HO•), sulfate radical (SO4•-) and chlorine radicals (Cl•, ClO•, Cl2•-), for nitrogen removal. Nevertheless, HO• shows low reactivity and N2 selectivity towards NH3-N/NH4+-N oxidation, and SO4•- also demonstrates unsatisfactory NH3-N/NH4+-N removal. It has been shown that Cl•/ClO• can efficiently remove NH3-N/NH4+-N with high N2 selectivity. The generation of Cl•/ClO• can be triggered by various techniques, among which the PEC technique shows great potential due to its higher efficiency for Cl•/ClO• generation and eco-friendly approach for pollutants degradation and energy recovery by utilizing solar energy. Cl•/ClO• oxidation of NH3-N/NH4+-N and nitrate nitrogen (NO3--N) reduction can be strengthened through the design of photoanode and cathode materials, respectively. Coupling with this two pathways, an exhaustive total nitrogen (TN) removal system is designed for complete TN removal. When introducing the mechanism into photocatalytic fuel cells (PFCs), the concept of nitrogen-containing wastewater fuel cells (NFCs) is proposed to treat several typical types of nitrogen-containing wastewater, achieving high-efficiency TN removal, organics degradation, toxic chlorate control, and energy recovery simultaneously. Recent research progress in this field is reviewed, summarized and discussed, and in-depth perspectives are proposed, providing new ideas for the resource treatment of nitrogen-containing wastewater.

In situ doping lignin-derived carbon quantum dots on magnetic hydrotalcite for enhanced degradation of Congo Red over a wide pH range and simultaneous removal of heavy metal ions.

Abstract
A new N, S-CQDs@Fe3O4@HTC composite was prepared by loading N, S carbon quantum dots (N, S-CQDs) derived from lignin on magnetic hydrotalcite (HTC) via an in-situ growth method. The characterization results showed that the catalyst had a mesoporous structure. These pores facilitate the diffusion and mass transfer of pollutant molecules inside the catalyst, allowing them to approach the active site smoothly. The catalyst performed well in the UV degradation of Congo red (CR) over a wide pH range (3-11), with efficiencies over 95.43 % in all cases. Even at a high NaCl content (100 g/L), the catalyst showed extraordinary CR degradation (99.30 %). ESR analysis and free radical quenching experiments demonstrated that OH and O2- were the main active species governing CR degradation. Besides, the composite had outstanding removal efficiency for Cu2+ (99.90 %) and Cd2+ (85.08 %) simultaneously due to the electrostatic attraction between the HTC and metal ions. Moreover, the N, S-CQDs@Fe3O4@HTC had excellent stability and recyclability during five cycles, making it free of secondary contamination. This work provides a new environment-friendly catalyst for the simultaneous removal of multiple pollutants and a waste-to-waste strategy for the value-added utilization of lignin.

A Novel Method Based on Hydrodynamic Cavitation for Improving Nitric Oxide Removal Performance of NaClO 2. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:3684.

Abstract
In the removal of nitric oxide (NO) by sodium chlorite (NaClO2), the NaClO2 concentration is usually increased, and an alkaline absorbent is added to improve the NO removal efficiency. However, this increases the cost of denitrification. This study is the first to use hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) combined with NaClO2 for wet denitrification. Under optimal experimental conditions, when 3.0 L of NaClO2 with a concentration of 1.00 mmol/L was used to treat NO (concentration: 1000 ppmv and flow rate: 1.0 L/min), 100% of nitrogen oxides (NOx) could be removed in 8.22 min. Furthermore, the NO removal efficiency remained at 100% over the next 6.92 min. Furthermore, the formation of ClO2 by NaClO2 is affected by pH. The initial NOx removal efficiency was 84.8-54.8% for initial pH = 4.00-7.00. The initial NOx removal efficiency increases as the initial pH decreases. When the initial pH was 3.50, the initial NOx removal efficiency reached 100% under the synergistic effect of HC. Therefore, this method enhances the oxidation capacity of NaClO2 through HC, realizes high-efficiency denitrification with low NaClO2 concentration (1.00 mmol/L), and has better practicability for the treatment of NOx from ships.

Abstract
Fe2+ complexation wet denitrification technology has become a research hotspot. It is very important to achieve efficient regeneration of the absorbent and increase NO absorption in the Fe2+ complexation system. They are the key to the industrial application of the Fe2+ complexation absorption process. In this paper, 2-phosphonate-butane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid were used as ligands to prepare a composite system for the first time. The characteristics of NO removal were investigated under different temperatures, pHs, Fe2+ concentrations, O2 contents, NO concentrations, CO2 contents, and SO2 concentrations. Compared with the single ligand, the results show that the denitrification performance of the solution with a complex ligand is significantly improved. In this system, pH 9, 40 °C temperature, and 20 mmol/L Fe2+ concentration are the economic ideal conditions for NO removal. The system can realize simultaneous removal of NO and SO2, but SO2 in flue gas has a dual effect on the NO removal reaction.

Simultaneous Removal of SO2 and NO by O3 Oxidation Combined with Seawater as Absorbent. Processes (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
Aiming at NOx (NO 90%, NO2 10%) and SO2 in simulated vessel emissions, denitration and desulfurization were studied through ozone oxidation combined with seawater as absorbent. Specifically, the different influencing factors of denitration and desulfurization were analyzed. The results indicated that the oxidation efficiency of NO can reach over 90% when the molar ratio of O3/NO is 1.2. Ozone oxidation and seawater washing in the same unit can decrease the temperature of ozone oxidation of NO, avoid high temperature ozone decomposition, and enhance the oxidation efficiency of NO. When NO inlet initial concentration is lower than 800 ppm, the NOx removal efficiency can be improved by increasing NO inlet concentration, and when NO inlet initial concentration is greater than 800 ppm, increasing the concentration of NO would decrease the NOx removal efficiency. Increasing the inlet concentration of SO2 has minor effect on desulfurization, but slightly reduces the absorption efficiency of NOx due to the competition of SO2 and NOx in the absorption solution. Besides, final products (NO2−, NO3−, SO32−, and SO42−) were analyzed by the ion chromatography.

Abstract
Visible-light photocatalytic chlorite activation has emerged as an efficient oxidation process for micropollutant elimination. However, the in-depth mechanism of chlorite activation is not understood. In this study, using neodymium-doped bismuth vanadate (NdxBi1-xVO4-δ) as a model catalyst, we describe the oxygen vacancy (OV)-mediated chlorite activation process for efficient ClO2 generation and cephalexin (CPX) degradation. DFT calculations and in situ DRIFTS suggest that the OV-introduced surface -OH serves as the Brønsted acidic center for chlorite adsorption. The OV-mediated chlorite activation involves multistep reactions that surface hydroxylation and proton transfer from the surface -OH to chlorite, forming metastable chlorous acid (HClO2) and further disproportionating to ClO2. As compared with vis-photocatalysis, the vis-photocatalysis coupled with chlorite activation (vis/chlorite) technique exhibits superior performance in antibiotic degradation and achieves efficient microorganism inactivation. This work uncovers the role of OVs on chlorite activation and provides a rational strategy for designing visible-light-driven oxidation techniques in water and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Simultaneous removal of chlorite (ClO2-) and organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) by the irradiation of UV is a novel process. In this study we used UV light emitting diode (UV-LED) as a new UV source to systematically investigate the effect of UV wavelength (255, 285, 365 nm) on the simultaneous removal of carbamazepine (CBZ) and ClO2-. Removal of both CBZ and ClO2- followed the order of 255, 285, and 365 nm. Formation of hydroxyl radical and reactive chlorine species (RCS) were confirmed during the photolysis of ClO2- using probe compounds. RCS were always the predominant contributor to the degradation of CBZ in UV-LED/ClO2- system. The impacts of ClO2- dosage, pH, bicarbonate/carbonate (HCO3-/CO32-), and the effect of natural organic matter (NOM) on CBZ degradation were also evaluated. This study identified the products produced by CBZ through possible degradation pathways during the transformation process. Further, the amount of ClO2- may affect the amount of chlorate produced in UV/ClO2- system. Overall, our research provides an in-depth analysis of the effects of UV wavelength on the simultaneous removal of ClO2- and OMPs in water.

Abstract
This review article provides a state-of-art insight into the removal of NO, SO2 and elemental mercury (Hg0) from flue gas by using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) method. Firstly, the main flue gas purification strategies based on AOPs would be classified as gas-gas, gas-liquid and gas-solid systems preliminarily, and the primary chemistry/mechanism of the above homogeneous/heterogeneous reaction systems were presented as the oxidation of NO, SO2 and Hg0 by the oxidative free radicals (OH, O2 and SO4-etc.). Secondly, the research progress and reaction pathways for separately or simultaneously removing NO, SO2 and Hg0 from flue gas by AOPs has been reviewed elaborated and analyzed in more details. Notably, the wet/dry oxidation coupled with efficient absorption process would be a promising method of efficient removal of above gaseous pollutants. Subsequently, four types of assumed layout modes were described graphically. The application prospects of AOPs for the purification of flue gas from coal-fired boiler or industrial furnace were evaluated and found that the operation cost and utilization of oxidants must be reduced and improved respectively. Finally, the limitations in the current removal technologies based on AOPs are highlighted, meanwhile the future research directions are suggested, such as cut down the cost of oxidants and catalysts, improve the yield and valid utilization of highly reactive radicals and enhance the reactivity, resistance and stability of catalysts. Significantly, it is also envisaged that the review could enrich the knowledge repository to function as a scientific reference for the sustainable development of economical, effective and environment-friendly technologies for the abatement of a wide variety of emissions from flue gas, and further improve the feasibility and reliability of the strategies for moving from laboratory studies to large-scale development and industrial application.

Abstract
This paper presents the use of B and N co-doped reduced graphene oxide (BN-GN) as an electrode for paracetamol electrochemical degradation. The reaction mechanism, focused on active sites in the atom level and dominant radical species generated through the reaction, was analyzed by characterization, density functional theory (DFT) calculation, quenching experiments, and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis. The characterization results indicated that the introduction of N and B functionalities into GN improved catalytic activity due to the generation of new surface defects, active sites, and improvement of conductivity. Results of experiments and DFT showed that co-doping of B and N greatly improved the catalytic activity, and the B atoms in C-N-B groups were identified as main active sites. The main active substances of BN-GN generated in the electrocatalytic oxidation of paracetamol in the solution were O2•- and active chlorine. The influence of O2•- and active chlorine on the efficiency/path of catalytic oxidation and the proposed mechanism were also determined for paracetamol degradation. This study provides an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of BN-GN catalysis and suggests possibilities for practical applications.

Abstract
In this work, steel slag slurry was used in combination with O3 oxidation for the simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO x in a laboratory-scale wet flue gas desulfurization process. The effects of the oxidation temperature, steel slag concentration, initial SO2 concentration, and pH value on the desulfurization and denitrification efficiencies were studied. The results showed that the highest NO x removal efficiency occurred at an oxidation temperature of 90 °C. With an increase of the oxidation temperature above 90 °C, the denitrification efficiency decreased due to the decomposition of N2O5. The effect of the SO2 concentration on denitrification was complicated. When the concentration of SO2 was 500 ppm, generation of SO3 2- promoted the absorption of NO2. However, higher SO2 concentrations strengthened the competitive absorption of SO2 and NO x . In the pH range of 8.5-4.5, the denitrification efficiency was maintained at about 96%. The component analyses of the aqueous solution and the solid residue were conducted to investigate the compositions of the absorption products. The results showed that NO3 - and SO4 2- were the major anions in the aqueous solution. The nitrogen balance was analyzed to be 95.8%, clearly illustrating the migration and transformation path of nitrogen. In the solid residue, most alkaline substances were consumed, and the final products were mainly CaSO4 and FeO. Accordingly, the reaction mechanism of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification using steel slag combined with ozone oxidation was proposed.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is one of the toxic trace elements in flue gas emitted from coal-fired power plants. A method for oxidation and absorption of selenium dioxide (SeO2) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and sodium chlorite (NaClO2) in a calcium-based slurry is proposed, in which hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) were selected to be absorbents, and H2O2 and NaClO2 were used to oxidize SeO2 and selenite ion to selenate ion to reduce their toxicities. The effects of reaction temperature, H2O2 and NaClO2 concentrations, solution pH, and SeO2 concentration were investigated, from which the optimal reaction conditions were established. The results indicated that the oxidation efficiency was affected significantly by the solution pH, and H2O2 and NaClO2 concentrations. The oxidation efficiency of SeO2 and selenite ion to selenate ion was below 40% using H2O2 and that increased to 92% with NaClO2 at the optimal conditions. For removal, Ca(OH)2 and CaCO3 slurries were used as absorbents and the efficiencies were affected by the slurry temperature. Oxidation behavior and mechanism were analyzed based on the characterization of removal products using hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. SeO2 and selenite ion can be oxidized to selenate ion, which is less toxic, by active species such as hydroxyl radicals (HO·) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2), which are released during the decomposed processes of H2O2 and NaClO2 in acid conditions.

Abstract
Recently, the discharge of flue gas has become a global issue due to the rapid development in industrial and anthropogenic activities. Various dry and wet treatment approaches including conventional and hybrid hybrid wet scrubbing have been employing to combat against these toxic exhaust emissions. However, certain issues i.e., large energy consumption, generation of secondary pollutants, low regeneration of scrubbing liquid and high efficieny are hindering their practical applications on industrial level. Despite this, the hybrid wet scrubbing technique (advanced oxidation, ionic-liquids and solid engineered interface hybrid materials based techniques) is gaining great attention because of its low installation costs, simultaneous removal of multi-air pollutants and low energy requirements. However, the lack of understanding about the basic principles and fundamental requirements are great hurdles for its commercial scale application, which is aim of this review article. This review article highlights the recent developments, minimization of GHG, sustainable improvements for the regeneration of used catalyst via green and electron rich donors. It explains, various hybrid wet scrubbing techniques can perform well under mild condition with possible improvements such as development of stable, heterogeneous catalysts, fast and in-situ regeneration for large scale applications. Finally, it discussed recovery of resources i.e., N2O, NH3 and N2, the key challenges about several competitive side products and loss of catalytic activity over time to treat toxic gases via feasible solutions by hybrid wet scrubbing techniques.

Abstract
The dry flue gas desulfurization (FGD) method was studied, which is a part of the integrated removal of multi-pollutants at medium temperatures. Although dry flue gas treatment is a simple and effective method, it is still a highly empirical-led application technology. A superior desulfurization adsorbent, fine powder of NaHCO3 (hereinafter called fine NaHCO3), was selected by scale-up experiments. A deep understanding of the reaction process and mechanism is then explored, which helps the further optimization of dry desulfurization. Based on the multi-factor experiments for NaHCO3, the effect mechanism of NO on desulfurization using NaHCO3 is also proposed. The conversion of SO32− → SO42− is promoted by the existence of NO. Therefore, a slight decline can be found. According to the influences of the SO2 concentration and the residence time, it is concluded that the diffusion of SO2 into the channel of NaHCO3 is the rate-limiting step. Impressively, the reaction process of reactants was clearly studied by in situ FTIR spectroscopy to determine the whole process. Moreover, the recycling of NaHCO3 is the main direction for reducing adsorbent consumption in the next step. The predictable insights are beneficial for profoundly understanding the gas composition synergetic interaction for the SO2 removal by the dry treatment using NaHCO3. A superior desulfurizer, fine NaHCO3 was selected by scale-up experiments. A deep understanding of the reaction process and mechanism was explored. The effect mechanism of NO on desulfurization using NaHCO3 was proposed by in situ FTIR results.![]()

Abstract
It is well known that using chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as a disinfectant inevitably produces a common disinfection byproducts chlorite (ClO2‒). In this study, we found that UV photolysis after ClO2 disinfection can effectively eliminate both ClO2‒ and contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). However, the kinetic mechanisms of UV/ClO2‒ process destructing CECs, as well as transformation of ClO2‒ in UV/ClO2‒ system are not clear yet. Therefore, we systematically investigated the UV/ClO2‒ system to assist us appropriately design this process under optimal operational conditions. In this work, we first investigated the impact of water matrix conditions (i.e., pH, bicarbonate and natural organic matter (NOM)) and ClO2‒ dosage on the UV/ClO2‒ process. We found that bicarbonate and NOM have inhibition effects, while lower pH and higher ClO2‒ dosage have enhancement effects. Besides, hydroxyl radical (HO•) and reactive chlorine species (RCS) are generated from UV/ClO2‒ system, and RCS are main contributors to CBZ degradation. Then we proposed a possible degradation pathway of CBZ based on the determined products from experiments. Additionally, we found that photolysis of ClO2‒ resulted in the generation of chloride (Cl‒) and chlorate (ClO3‒). As the ClO2‒ dosage increases, the yield of ClO3‒ increased while that of Cl‒ decreased. Finally, we elucidated the second order rate constant of the target organic compound with HO• has a strong correlation with the formation of ClO3‒.

Abstract
The development of catalysts has seen tremendous growth recently but most strategies only report utilization of catalysts for a few initial cycles without taking into account the influence of oxygen poisoning. Here, the magnetic Fe3O4@EDTA-Fe (MEFe, having a core Fe3O4 particle with EDTA-Fe coating) was investigated as a model catalyst for long-term recycling for the removal of nitrogen oxide (NOx) from NO/O2 mixture, followed by N2O recovery. The concentration of oxygen in the flue gas was found to have a strong impact on NOx absorption and catalytic response. To circumvent the oxygen poisoning, the MEFe was subjected to electrochemical treatment in the presence of neutral red (N.R.) and NO removal efficiency was ∼95 % noted. Furthermore, the surface of the catalyst degraded significantly (p < 0.05) after 6-7 repetitive cycling due to surface catalytic reactions, surface poisoning, oxidation of metallic species as well as residual stresses. The MEFe surface was reconstructed after 7 cycles using EDTA solution and Fe source to achieve similar surface coating as the fresh MEFe catalyst. The reconstructed MEFe exhibited similar NOx absorption capability as the fresh MEFe and the reconstruction loop was repeated several times to achieve long term cycling, which make the catalyst cost-effective. Hence, it is proposed that a successful regeneration process can be employed for promising, sustainable and long-lasting catalytic treatment of air pollutants.

Abstract
The ability to convert excess ammonia in water into harmless N2 is highly desirable for environmental remediation. We present a chlorine-oxygen radical (ClO)-mediated photoelectrochemical filtration system for highly efficient and complete ammonia removal from water. The customized photochemical device comprised a Ag-functionalized TiO2nanotube array mesh photoanode and a Pd-Cu co-modified nickel foam (Pd-Cu/NF) cathode. Under illumination, holes generated at the anode catalyzed the conversion of H2O and Cl- to HOand Cl, respectively. In turn, these radicals then reacted further, yielding ClO, which selectively decomposed ammonia. The cathode enabled further reduction of anodic byproducts such as NO3- to N2. The complete oxidation of all dissolved ammonia was achieved within 15 min reaction under neutral conditions, where N2 was the dominant product. The impact of key parameters was assessed, which enabled the discovery of optimal reaction conditions and the proposal of the underlying working mechanism. The flow-through configuration demonstrated a 5-fold increase of ammonia oxidation rate compared to the conventional batch reactor. The role of ClO in the oxidation of ammonia was verified with electron paramagnetic resonance and scavenger studies. This study provided greater mechanistic insights into photoelectrochemical filtration technology and demonstrated the potential of future nanotechnology for removing ammonia.

Abstract
The core for simultaneous removal of SO2, NO and Hg0 is the oxidation of NO and Hg0. Radical induced oxidation of NO and Hg0 is considered to be the most efficient method. We develop a novel gas phase advanced oxidation process (AOP) of UV-Heat/H2O2-NaClO2 to simultaneously remove SO2, NO and Hg0 due to a great synergism between H2O2 and NaClO2 under thermal and ultraviolet (UV) co-catalysis. The results indicated that the SO2 removal was always good, while the removal of NO and Hg0 was affected by NaClO2 and UV. Higher catalytic temperature and longer flue gas residence time favored the removal of NO and Hg0. The presence of SO2 and NO facilitated Hg0 removal. Kinetics analyses were conducted to provide the reaction rate of removal of NO and Hg0 under different conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed the product composition as Cl-, Hg2+, NO3- and SO42-. Electron spin resonance (ESR) tests confirmed the generation of HO. Cost analyses demonstrated the better cost performance of the proposed method compared to SCR-ACI combined method. HO and ClO2 were proved to be the main oxidant. The reaction mechanism for removal of NO and Hg0 by using UV-Heat/H2O2-NaClO2 were proposed finally.

Abstract
Aiming at SO2 and NOx in industrial flue gas, the simultaneous removal of SO2 and NOx was conducted using red mud as absorbent with O3 oxidation. The effects of different factors on the desulfurization and denitration efficiency were investigated. The results show that the increase of oxidation temperature is not conducive to the absorption of NOx (O3/NO molar ratio >1). Low concentration of SO2 promotes the absorption of NOx, however high concentration of SO2 inhibits absorption of NOx. The main product after desulfurization and denitration of red mud solid residue is bassanite (CaSO4·0.5H2O). In addition, when the pH is greater than 5, calcium carbonate and sodium alkali play major roles in red mud, and when 3.5< pH < 5, sodium aluminosilicate hydrate (1.08Na2O·Al2O3·1.68SiO2·1.8H2O), calcium nepheline (Na6CaAl6Si6(CO3)O24·2H2O) and garnet (Ca3Al2(SiO4)(OH)8) take part in the reaction. According to typically practical conditions with oxidation temperature at 130 °C and the O3/NO molar ratio being 1.8, the desulfurization efficiency of red mud can reach 93 % in the first hour, and the denitration efficiency can be maintained at about 87 %. Besides, the reaction mechanism with multi oxidation absorption steps was also proposed.

Abstract
Marine diesel engines produce a lot of exhaust gas (NO, SO2). Based on the situation that wet scrubbing methods have been already applied to ship desulfurization and seawater is easily accessible around the ships, this paper proposed a novel AOP (advanced oxidation process) of NaClO2 (sodium chlorite) with Cl- (abundant Cl- exist in seawater) to remove NO from the flue gases of marine engines. The buffer capacity of NaAC (sodium acetate), the effect of Cl- concentration, and Cl- promotion mechanism on NO removal were investigated. The result showed that the existence of NaAC in solution could inhibit the rapid decline of the solution pH. The addition of Cl- achieved a remarkable promotion to NO removal at lower NaClO2 concentration, which was due to the fast generation of ClO2 from the promotion decomposition of NaClO2 by Cl- in acidic condition. Then, the thermodynamic and dynamic mechanism of the generation of ClO2 was intensively analyzed. And the mechanism of NO removal was discussed finally.

Abstract
Herein, an electroactive filtration system, consisting of a Ti4O7 anode and a Pd-Cu co-modified nickel foam cathode, was developed and applied for the decontamination of ammonia from water. When assisted with an external electrical field, ClO• was generated on the surface of the Ti4O7 anode, which then reacted selectively with ammonia to generate N2. The anodic byproduct, NO3−, could also be reduced efficiently at the functional cathode to produce N2 as well. Electron paramagnetic resonance technique and radical scavenging tests synergistically verified the essential role of ClO• during the highly efficient ammonia conversion process. Relative to conventional batch systems, the developed flow-through design demonstrated enhanced ammonia conversion kinetics, thanks to the convection-enhanced mass transport. The proposed technology also showed desirable stability across a wide environmental matrix. This work provides new insights for the development of advanced and affordable continuous-flow systems towards effective decontamination of ammonia.

Abstract
How to cost-efficiently and cooperatively remove SO2, NO and Hg0 in flue gas is a hot topic in the field of air pollution control. This work developed an integrated system that consists of a dual-absorption system and a vapor oxidation system, in which Na2CO3 and H2O2/Na2S2O8 were used as the absorbent and oxidant. The results indicated that the efficiencies of SO2 removal and NO conversion reached 99.5% and 93% respectively. Rising the vaporization temperature and decreasing the pH of H2O2/Na2S2O8 could facilitate the NO conversion. The spent Na2CO3 after desulfurization was demonstrated to be a good absorbent for NO2 removal. The best conditions of pH and temperatures for the dual-absorber were determined as 10/8 and 60/60 °C, respectively. The presence of 1000 mg/m3 SO2 and 300 mg/m3 NO favored the Hg0 removal. TMT-15, an organic sulfur compound, was demonstrated to be useful in retaining Hg2+, with an efficiency of 92%. According to the analyses of electron spin resonance (ESR), ion chromatography (IC), atom fluorescence spectrometry (AFS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), SO4- and HO were proved to be the key radicals, and the existing forms of N- and Hg- species in the product were identified as NaNO2/NaNO3 and HgCl2.

[PMID: 31520933 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.121162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2019] [Revised: 08/14/2019] [Accepted: 09/04/2019] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitric oxide (NO) and elemental mercury (Hg0) are three common air pollutants in flue gas. SO2 and NO are the main precursors for chemical smog and Hg0 is a bio-toxicant for human. Cooperative removal of multi-air-pollutant in flue gas using radical-induced oxidation reaction is considered as one of the most promising methods due to the high removal efficiency, low cost and less secondary environmental impact. The common radicals used in air pollution control can be classified into four types: (1) hydroxyl radical (OH), (2) sulfate radical (SO4-), (3) chlorine-containing radicals (Cl, ClO2, ClO, HOCl-, etc.) and (4) ozone. This review summarizes the generation methods and mechanism of the four kinds of radicals, as well as their applications in the removal of multi-air-pollutant in flue gas. The reactivity, selectivity and reaction mechanism of the four kinds of radicals in multi-air-pollutant removal were comprehensively described. Finally, some future research suggestions on the development of new technique for cooperative removal of multi-air-pollutant in flue gas were provided.

Abstract
We developed a novel method, microwave (MW) induced ultraviolet (UV) irradiating H2O/O2, to cooperatively remove NO and Hg0, with the efficiencies of 89.3% and 99.5%. It also can remove 97% SO2. O2 at a content of 2-8% was sufficient to conduct a good removal of NO and Hg0. Ozone (O3) and hydroxyl radical (HO•) were proved to be the major oxidants for the removal of Hg0 and NO, respectively. High temperature facilitated NO removal but impaired Hg0 removal. SO2 greatly promoted the removal of NO and Hg0 due to the formation of SO4•-. The presence of Cl- and Br-suppressed NO removal but promoted Hg0 removal, because Cl- and Br-quenched HO• to produce Cl- and Br-radicals. The produced NO2 could be totally absorbed by the Na2SO3 solution that followed the main reactor. The O3 yield and the formation of HO• under different conditions were determined using iodine quantity method and electron spin resonance (ESR). The distributions of anion concentration and mercury proportion were obtained using ion chromatography (IC) and cold atom fluorescence spectrometry (AFS), and the main products were identified to be SO42-, NO3- and HgO. The mechanisms of removal of SO2, NO and Hg0 were speculated.

Abstract
As it has a simple system and a small floor area, flue gas simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification technology has a good development prospect, and related research has become a hot topic in the field of flue gas purification. In this work, a novel simultaneous removal technology of NO and SO2 from flue gas using a semi-dry microwave activation persulfate system was developed for the first time. A series of experiments and characterization analyses had been implemented to research the feasibility of this new flue gas purification technology. The oxidation products, free radicals, and mechanism of NO and SO2 simultaneous removal were revealed. The effect of the main technological parameters on NO and SO2 simultaneous removal was also studied. Relevant results demonstrated that an increase in the microwave radiation power, persulfate concentration, and O2 concentration enhanced NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. The increase of NO and SO2 concentrations weakened NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. The reagent dosage, pH value of the solution, and reaction temperature showed a dual influence on NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. Free-radical capture experiments revealed that both SO4-• and •OH that were produced by microwave activation of persulfate were the major active species and played very key roles in NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. The main products (sulfate and nitrate) and byproducts (NO2) in the tail gas were found. The process application and product post-treatment routes were also proposed. The result may provide the necessary inspiration and guidance for the development and application of microwave-activated advanced oxidation technology in the flue gas treatment area.

Promoting Effect of H+ and Other Factors on NO Removal by Using Acidic NaClO2 Solution. ENERGIES 2019. [DOI: 10.3390/en12152966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
In this study, NaClO2 was selected as a denitration oxidant. In order to clarify the mechanism of NaClO2 as an oxidation agent for NO removal efficiency, the effects of H+ and other factors (NaClO2 concentration, temperature, and the other gas) on the NO removal efficiency were investigated. NaClO2 showed a promotional ability on NO removal, whose efficiency increased with the increase of NaClO2 concentration. One hundred percent removal efficiency of NO could be achieved when the NaClO2 concentration was 0.014 mol/L. Furthermore, raising the reaction temperature benefited the removal of NO. The lower the pH, the better the NO removal efficiency. The promoting effect of H+ on the NO removal was studied by the Nernst equation, ionic polarization, and the generation of ClO2. Under the optimal conditions, the best removal efficiency of NO was 100%. Based on the experimental results, the reaction mechanism was finally speculated.

Abstract
A novel advanced oxidation process (AOP) of ultraviolet/chlorite-ammonia (UV/NaClO2-NH4OH) was developed to remove Hg0 from flue gas. The distribution of mercury concentration in three solutions of NaClO2-NH4OH, KCl, and H2SO4-KMnO4 was determined by cold atom fluorescence spectrometry (AFS). The role of NH4OH was to help NaClO2 preserving and/or stabilizing Hg2+ meanwhile inhibiting the photo-production of ClO2. In the absence of UV, decreasing pH promoted the release of Hg2+ from NaClO2-NH4OH; introducing NO, SO2, O2, Br-, Cl-, and HCO3- suppressed Hg0 oxidation. In the presence of UV, rising temperature accelerated the release of Hg2+ from NaClO2-NH4OH; while SO2, Br- and HCO3- facilitated Hg0 oxidation. In the absence and presence of UV, Hg0 oxidation was controlled by ClO2- and by ClO/Cl2O2/HO/ClO2, respectively. The formations of ClO/HO/ClO2 were confirmed by electron spin resonance (ESR). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that the products of Hg0 and ClO2- were HgCl2, and ClO2, Cl-, ClO3-, Cl2, and ClO4-, respectively. Analysis of kinetics showed that the Hatta numbers were 23-133 and 69-305 without and with UV, respectively, thus, the gas-film mass transfer was the rate-determining step. This paper gives a new insight in radical behavior in Hg0 oxidation.

Abstract
The conversion of excess ammonia N into harmless N2 is a primary challenge for wastewater treatment. We present here a method to generate ClO• directionally for quick and efficient decomposition of NH4+ N to N2. ClO• was produced and enhanced by a bifacial anode, a front WO3 photoanode and a rear Sb-SnO2 anode, in which HO• generated on WO3 reacts with HClO generated on Sb-SnO2 to form ClO•. Results show that the ammonia decomposition rate of Sb-SnO2/WO3 is 4.4 times than that of WO3 and 3.3 times than that of Sb-SnO2, with achievement of the removal of NH4+ N on Sb-SnO2/WO3 and WO3 being 99.2 and 58.3% in 90 min, respectively. This enhancement is attributed to the high rate constant of ClO• with NH4+ N, which is 2.8 and 34.8 times than those of Cl• and HO•, respectively. The steady-state concentration of ClO• (2.5 × 10-13 M) is 102 times those of HO• and Cl•, and this is further confirmed by kinetic simulations. In combination with the Pd-Cu/NF cathode to form a denitrification exhaustion system, Sb-SnO2/WO3 shows excellent total nitrogen removal (98.4%), which is more effective than WO3 (47.1%) in 90 min. This study provides new insight on the directed ClO• generation and its application on ammonia wastewater treatment.
