Li L, Niu X, Zhang D, Ye X, Zhang Z, Liu Q, Ding L, Chen K, Chen Y, Chen K, Shi Z, Lin Z. A systematic review on percarbonate-based advanced oxidation processes in wastewater remediation: From theoretical understandings to practical applications. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 259:121842. [PMID: 38820735 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121842] [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: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Percarbonate encompasses sodium percarbonate (SPC) and composite in-situ generated peroxymonocarbonate (PMC). SPC emerges as a promising alternative to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hailed for its superior transportation safety, stability, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness, thereby becoming a staple in advanced oxidation processes for mitigating water pollution. Yet, scholarly literature scarcely explores the deployment of percarbonate-AOPs in eradicating organic contaminants from aquatic systems. Consequently, this review endeavors to demystify the formation mechanisms and challenges associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) in percarbonate-AOPs, alongside highlighting directions for future inquiry and development. The genesis of ROS encompasses the in situ chemical oxidation of activated SPC (including iron-based activation, discharge plasma, ozone activation, photon activation, and metal-free materials activation) and composite in situ chemical oxidation via PMC (namely, H2O2/NaHCO3/Na2CO3, peroxymonosulfate/NaHCO3/Na2CO3 systems). Moreover, the ROS generated by percarbonate-AOPs, such as •OH, O2•-, CO3•-, HO2•-, 1O2, and HCO4-, can work individually or synergistically to disintegrate target pollutants. Concurrently, this review systematically addresses conceivable obstacles posing percarbonate-AOPs in real-world application from the angle of environmental conditions (pH, temperature, coexisting substances), and potential ecological toxicity. Considering the outlined challenges and advantages, we posit future research directions to amplify the applicability and efficacy of percarbonate-AOPs in tangible settings. It is anticipated that the insights provided in this review will catalyze the progression of percarbonate-AOPs in water purification endeavors and bridge the existing knowledge void.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 667:321-337. [PMID: 38640652 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Building a heterojunction is a fascinating option to guarantee sufficient carrier separation and transfer efficiency, but the mechanism of charge migration at the heterojunction interface has not been thoroughly studied. Herein, MIL-53(Fe)/Bi4O5I2 photocatalyst with a Z-scheme heterojunction structure is constructed, which achieves efficient photocatalytic decontamination under solar light. Driven by the newly-built internal electric field (IEF), the formation of Fe-O-Bi electron migration channel allows for rapid separation and transfer of charge carriers at the heterojunction interface, confirmed by the material characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The narrower band gap and improved visible light response also contribute to the enhanced photocatalytic activity of composite materials. With levofloxacin as the target pollutant, the optimal MIL-53(Fe)/Bi4O5I2 achieves complete removal of pollutant within 150 min, the photocatalysis rate of which is ca. 4.4 and 26.0 times that of pure Bi4O5I2 and MIL-53(Fe), respectively. Simultaneously, the optimal composite material exhibits satisfactory photodegradation of seven fluoroquinolones, and the photocatalysis rates are as follows: lomefloxacin > ciprofloxacin > enrofloxacin > norfloxacin > pefloxacin > levofloxacin > marbofloxacin. DFT calculations reveal a positive relationship between degradation rate and Fukui index (ƒ0) of main carbon atoms in seven fluoroquinolones. This study sheds light on the existence of electron migration channels at Z-scheme heterojunction interface to ensure sufficient photoinduced carrier transfer, and reveals the influence of pollutant structure on photolysis rate.

Removal enhancement of persistent basic fuchsin dye from wastewater using an eco-friendly, cost-effective Fenton process with sodium percarbonate and waste iron catalyst. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024:10.1007/s11356-024-33845-2. [PMID: 38904874 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33845-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
In this comprehensive investigation, we evaluate the efficacy of the Fenton process in degrading basic fuchsin (BF), a resistant dye. Our primary focus is on the utilization of readily available, environmentally benign, and cost-effective reagents for the degradation process. Furthermore, we delve into various operational parameters, including the quantity of sodium percarbonate (SPC), pH levels, and the dimensions of waste iron bars, to optimize the treatment efficiency. In the course of our research, we employed an initial SPC concentration of 0.5 mM, a pH level of 3, a waste iron bar measuring 3.5 cm in length and 0.4 cm in diameter, and a processing time of 10 min. Our findings reveal the successful elimination of the BF dye, even when subjected to treatment with diverse salts and surfactants under elevated temperatures and acidic conditions (pH below 3). This underscores the robustness of the Fenton process in purifying wastewater contaminated with dye compounds. The outcomes of our study not only demonstrate the efficiency of the Fenton process but highlight its adaptability to address dye contamination challenges across various industries. Critically, this research pioneers the application of waste iron bars as a source of iron in the Fenton reaction, introducing a novel, sustainable approach that enhances the environmental and economic viability of the process. This innovative use of recycled materials as catalysts represents a significant advancement in sustainable chemical engineering practices.

Abstract
The synergistic effect between bimetallic catalysts has been confirmed as an effective method for activating persulfate (PMS). Therefore, we immobilized copper-cobalt on chitosan to prepare bimetallic carbon catalysts for PMS activation and degradation of reactive dyes. Experimental results demonstrate that the CuCo-CTs/PMS catalytic degradation system exhibits excellent degradation performance toward various types of reactive dyes (e.g., Ethyl violet, Chlortalidone, and Di chlorotriazine), with degradation rates reaching 90% within 30 min. CuCo-CTs exhibit high catalytic activity over a wide pH range of 3-11 at room temperature and under static conditions, degrading over 92% of RV5 within 60 min. ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and color changes in the dye solution confirm the effective degradation of RV5, with a degradation rate of 97.2% within 10 min. Additionally, CuCo-CTs demonstrate good stability and reusability, maintaining a degradation rate of 92.8% after eight cycles. Kinetic studies indicate that the degradation follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. Furthermore, based on the results of radical scavenging experiments, the catalytic degradation mechanism of the dye involves both radical and nonradical pathways, with 1O2 identified as the primary active species. This study provides insights and experimental evidence for the application of persulfate oxidation in the treatment of dyeing wastewater.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133303. [PMID: 38141297 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133303] [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: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
Recently, peracetic acid (PAA) based Fenton (-like) processes have received much attention in water treatment. However, these processes are limited by the sluggish Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox circulation efficiency. In this study, L-cysteine (L-Cys), an environmentally friendly electron donor, was applied to enhance the Fe3O4/PAA process for the sulfamethoxazole (SMX) abatement. Surprisingly, the L-Cys incorporation was found not only to enhance the SMX degradation rate constant by 3.2 times but also to switch the Fe(IV) dominated nonradical pathway into the •OH dominated radical pathway. Experiment and theoretical calculation result elucidated -NH2, -SH, and -COOH of L-Cys can increase Fe solubilization by binding to the Fe sites of Fe3O4, while -SH of L-Cys can promote the reduction of bounded/dissolved Fe(III). Similar SMX conversion pathways driven by the Fe3O4/PAA process with or without L-Cys were revealed. Excessive L-Cys or PAA, high pH and the coexisting HCO3-/H2PO4- exhibit inhibitory effects on SMX degradation, while Cl- and humic acid barely affect the SMX removal. This work advances the knowledge of the enhanced mechanism insights of L-Cys toward heterogeneous Fenton (-like) processes and provides experimental data for the efficient treatment of sulfonamide antibiotics in the water treatment.

Solvent-free synthesis of foam board-like CoSe 2 alloy to selectively generate singlet oxygen via peroxymonosulfate activation for sulfadiazine degradation.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is a highly effective reactive species in selectively oxidizing organic pollutants. However, it is still challenging to rationally design robust catalysts for the selective generation of 1O2. Herein, the coordination and engineering architecture of the foam board-like CoSe2 alloy were facilely constructed through a green solvent-free method and displayed almost 100% 1O2 production selectivity. The CoSe2 alloy showed excellent catalytic ability for the efficient and fast removal of organic pollutants via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation compared with previously reported cobalt-based catalysts. The CoSe2/PMS system exhibited strong resistance for a broad pH range (3.0-11.0) and various coexisting inorganic ions owing to the advantage of the strong bonding of Co-Se in CoSe2 alloy. Mechanism studies revealed that 1O2 was the only reactive oxygen species in the CoSe2/PMS system. Theoretical calculations demonstrated that Co was the dominant adsorption site for PMS in CoSe2, and the production pathway of 1O2 was PMS* → *OH → *O → 1O2. In addition, it was proved that *OH and *O served as the rate-determining steps for the formation of 1O2 by PMS activation on CoSe2 alloy. These findings provide a rational strategy for preparing a series of low-cost transition metal-based alloy catalysts for PMS activation to achieve high-efficiency 1O2 production in the elimination of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Iron (II) phthalocyanine (FePc) is loaded on the surface of the tourmaline (TM) by the reflow method to obtain FePc/TM. This research effectively prevents the π-π stacking of FePc, increased the effective utilization rate of PMS activation under solar light, and further improved the catalytic performance of the catalytic system. The catalytic oxidation efficiency of FePc/TM on carbamazepine (CBZ) and sulfadiazine (SD) can reach 99% under solar light for 15 and 5 min, the total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate can reach 58% and 69% under solar light for 120 min. After 6 cycles, the CBZ removal rate remained above 95%. In addition, the FePc/TM catalytic system has an excellent removal rate for other pharmaceuticals. The results of spin-trapped electron paramagnetic resonance and classical quenching experiments show that FePc/TM can effectively activate PMS to generate active species under solar light, including superoxide radical (•O2-), singlet oxygen (1O2), hydroxyl radicals(•OH), and sulphate radicals (SO4•-). The intermediates of CBZ were identified by Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and high resolution mass spectrometry, and the degradation pathway was proposed. As the reaction progresses, all CBZ and intermediates are reduced and converted into small acids, or mineralized to H2O, CO2. This work provides an alternative method for the design of efficient activation of PMS activation catalysts under solar light to eliminate residual pharmaceuticals in actual water bodies.

Abstract
Glyphosate has significant adverse effects on creature and ecological balance. Therefore, the efficient treatment of glyphosate wastewater is of great significance. In this study, nano calcium peroxide (n-CaO2) was loaded onto activated sludge biochar (SBC), and then Fe(II) was added to construct a Fenton-like system (n-CaO2/SBC/Fe(II)). SBC played the role of both a dispersant and catalyst, which greatly improved the removal capability of glyphosate. The removal efficiency of glyphosate in the n-CaO2/SBC/Fe(II) system was as high as 99.6%. The persistent free radicals (PFRs) on SBC can promote the conversion of Fe(III) to Fe(II) in the reaction system, and Fe(II) can be maintained at about 15 mg L-1 until the reaction reached equilibrium. Due to the synergistic effect of Fe(II) hydrolysis and SBC catalysis, n-CaO2/SBC/Fe(II) system can effectively remove glyphosate in a wide initial pH range (4.0-10.0), and the pH of the reaction system can be remained in a suitable environment (4.0-6.0) for Fenton-like reaction. Advanced oxidation and chemical precipitation were the main mechanisms for the removal of glyphosate. Most of glyphosate could be oxidized into H2PO-4 anions by breaking the bonds of C-P and C-N, and the H2PO-4 can be further adsorbed and bounded on the surface of the composites. This system overcomes the shortcomings of pH rising and Fe(III) precipitation in the CaO2-based oxidation systems, and realizes the efficient and complete degradation for glyphosate.

Advanced oxidation processes for water purification using percarbonate: Insights into oxidation mechanisms, challenges, and enhancing strategies. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 442:130014. [PMID: 36152542 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Percarbonate (SPC) has drawn considerable attention due to its merits in the safety of handling and transport, stability, and price as well as environmental friendliness, which has been extensively applied in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for water decontamination. Nevertheless, comprehensive information on the application of SPC-AOPs for the treatment of organic compounds in aquatic media is scarce. Hence, the focus of this review is to shed light on the mechanisms of reactive oxygen species (ROS) evolution in typical SPC-AOPs (i.e., Fenton-like oxidation, photo-assisted oxidation, and discharge plasma-involved oxidation processes). These SPC-AOPs enable the formation of multiple reactive species like hydroxyl radical (•OH), superoxide radical (O2•-), singlet oxygen (1O2), carbonate radicals (CO3•-), and peroxymonocarbonate (HCO4-), which together or solely contribute to the degradation of target pollutants. Simultaneously, the potential challenges in practical applications of SPC-AOPs are systematically discussed, which include the influence of water quality parameters, cost-effectiveness, available active sites, feasible activation approaches, and ecotoxicity. Subsequently, enhancing strategies to improve the feasibility of SPC-AOPs in the practical implementation are tentatively proposed, which can be achieved by introducing reducing and chelating agents, developing novel activation approaches, designing multiple integrated oxidation processes, as well as alleviating the toxicity after SPC-AOPs treatment. Accordingly, future perspectives and research gaps in SPC-AOPs are elucidated. This review will hopefully offer valuable viewpoints and promote the future development of SPC-AOPs for actual water purification.

Abstract
Difficult storage of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), low production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inefficient Fe(II)/Fe(III) recycling limit the application of the Fenton-like process. Calcium peroxide (CaO2) based iron oxychloride (FeOCl) system was developed for solving these deficiencies, and ciprofloxacin (CIP) was effectively degraded within 20 min treatment. 0.33 mmol/L H2O2 and 2.4 mg/L dissolved oxygen (DO) were produced via CaO2. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance results confirmed that hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anion (·O2-) worked as the main ROS. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental results suggested that H atoms of H2O2 adsorbed on FeOCl favored the activation of H2O2 into ·OH and DO into ·O2-, and electrophilic Cl and O coordination in FeOCl contributed to the cycle of Fe(II)/Fe(III). ·OH and·O2- were responsible for CIP degradation, and toxicity assessments demonstrated that the developed system reduced the hazard of treated solution. Clarity of FeOCl/CaO2 system triple roles, including H2O2 and O2 production, activation into ROS, and Fe(II)/Fe(III) recycling, facilitates the efficient utilization of O2 in Fenton-like system.

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
It has been well recognized that the Fenton reaction requires a rigorous pH control and suffers from the fast self-degradation of H2O2. In an effort to resolve the technical demerits of the conventional Fenton reaction, particular concern on the use of CaO2-based Fenton reaction was paid in this study. To realize the practical use of CaO2 in the Fenton reaction for groundwater remediation, it could be of great importance to control its reaction rate in the subsurface. As such, this study laid great emphasis on the combined process of electrochemical oxidation and CaO2-based Fenton oxidation, using 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) as a model compound. It was hypothesized that the reaction rate is also highly contingent on the formation of Fe(II) (stemmed from iron anode oxidation). Eighty percent of 1,2-DCA were degraded by the CaO2-based Fenton reaction. The final pH was neutral, inferring that the reaction could be a viable option for the subsurface environment. Moreover, the supply of electric current in an iron anode expedited 1,2-DCA degradation efficiency from 35 % to 62 % via electrically generated Fe(II), which donated electrons to H2O2, producing more hydroxyl radicals. An anode-cathode configuration from the single-well system enhanced the degradation of 1,2-DCA, with less amount of energy consumption than the double-well system. Based on results, CaO2-based electro-Fenton oxidation can remove well 1,2-DCA in groundwater and can be a strategic measure for groundwater remediation.

Abstract
Chloroxylenol (PCMX) is widely used as disinfectant since the epidemic outbreak due to its effective killing of Covid-19 virus. Its stable chemical properties make it frequently detected in surface water. Herein, we successfully modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles with S-WO3 (X-Fe3O4/S-WO3) to accelerate the Fe2+/Fe3+ cycle. The composite has outstanding PCMX degradation and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) decomposition efficiency over a wide pH range (3.0 ∼ 9.0). 80-Fe3O4/S-WO3/PMS system not only increased PMS decomposition efficiency from 27.7% to 100.0%, but also realized an enhancement of PCMX degradation efficiency by 16 times in comparison with that of Fe3O4 alone. The catalyst utilization efficiency reached 0.3506 mmol∙g-1∙min-1 which stands out among most Fenton-like catalysts. The composite has excellent degradation ability to a variety of emerging pollutants, such as antibiotics, drugs, phenols and endocrine disrupters, and at least a 90% removal efficiency reached in 10 min. The degradation of PCMX was dominated by HO•, SO4 •- and 1O2. The degradation pathways of PCMX were analyzed in detail. The component WS2 in S-WO3 plays a co-catalytic role instead of WO3. And the exposed active W4+ surf. efficiently enhanced the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle, thereby complete PMS decomposition and high catalytic efficiency were achieved. Our findings clarify that applying two-dimensional transition metal sulfide WS2 to modify heterogeneous Fe3O4 is a feasible strategy to improve Fenton-like reaction and provide a promising catalyst for PCMX degradation.

Abstract
Water is an essential substance for the survival on Earth of all living organisms. However, population growth has disturbed the natural phenomenon of living, due to industrial growth to meet ever expanding demands, and, hence, an exponential increase in environmental pollution has been reported in the last few decades. Moreover, water pollution has drawn major attention for its adverse effects on human health and the ecosystem. Various techniques have been used to treat wastewater, including biofiltration, activated sludge, membrane filtration, active oxidation process and adsorption. Among the mentioned, the last method is becoming very popular. Moreover, among the sorbents, those based on cyclodextrin have gained worldwide attention due to their excellent properties. This review article overviewed recent contributions related to the synthesis of Cyclodextrin (CD)-based adsorbents to treat wastewater, and their applications, especially for the removal of heavy metals, dyes, and organic pollutants (pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptor chemicals). Furthermore, new adsorption trends and trials related to CD-based materials are also discussed regarding their regenerative potential. Finally, this review could be an inspiration for new research and could also anticipate future directions and challenges associated with CD-based adsorbents.

Abstract
Titanate nanotube (TNT) was coated with the cyclic oligosaccharides (carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, CM-β-CD) to obtain a photocatalyst (CM-β-CD-TNT) for efficiently activating molecular oxygen and removing the target contaminant. The hydrophobic cavity and the large specific surface area of the photocatalyst provide abundant active sites for activating molecular oxygen. The free radical capture experiment and quenching experiment showed that cyclodextrin could facilitate adsorption and activation of molecular oxygen to produce O2·-. Therefore, compared with the pristine TNT, CM-β-CD-TNT accelerated the oxidation efficiency of paracetamol (APAP) by 3.4 times. Moreover, the ring cleavage reaction induced by CM-β-CD-TNT effectively reduced the acute toxicity of wastewater containing APAP. Furthermore, 100% of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS), phenol, 2,4-dichlorophen (2,4-DCP), and carbamazepine (CBZ) were degraded by CM-β-CD-TNT after 2.5 h Ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. This strategy provides a new dimension for the advanced treatment of organic wastewater by organic macrocyclic molecules modified materials.

Abstract
The redox process of electron shuttles like cysteine on iron minerals under aerobic conditions may largely determine the fate of arsenic (As) in soils, while the interfacial processes and underlying mechanisms are barely explored. This work systematically investigates the interfacial oxidation processes of As(III) on goethite induced by cysteine. Results show that the addition of cysteine significantly enhances the oxidation efficiency (~ 40%) of As(III) (C0: 10 mg/L) by goethite at pH 7 under aerobic conditions, which is 19.5 times of that without cysteine. cysteine induces Fe(III) reduction on the surface of goethite, and the generation absorbed Fe(II) species play an important role in As(III) oxidation. In particular, the further complexation of Fe(II) with cysteine is thermodynamically favorable for electron transfer, leading to an enhanced As(III) oxidation efficiency. The oxidation efficiency of As(III) in the goethite/cysteine system increases by increasing cysteine concentration and decreases by elevating pH conditions. In addition, evidence indicates that •O2- radicals account for approximately 80% of total oxidized As(III). Meanwhile, only 16% of As(III) oxidation can be attributed to the formed •OH radicals. This work provides new insight into the role of organic electron shuttling compounds in determining As cycling in soils.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 425:128045. [PMID: 34986573 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.128045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2021] [Revised: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Recently, the enhancing role of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a self-decay product of ferrate (Fe(VI)), on Fe(VI) reactivity has received increasing attention. In this study, we found that calcium peroxide (CaO2) as a slow-releasing reagent of H2O2 could also enhance the Fe(VI) performance for removing sulfamethoxazole (SMX). Compared with sole Fe(VI), sole CaO2 and Fe(VI)-H2O2 systems, the Fe(VI)-CaO2 system showed higher reactivity to remove SMX. The radical scavenger and chemical probe test results indicated that the better oxidation performance of Fe(VI)-CaO2 system than Fe(VI) alone was ascribed to the generation of Fe(Ⅳ) and Fe(Ⅴ) rather than •OH. In addition, the performance of Fe(VI)-CaO2 system for degradation of contaminants was also superior to Fe(VI)-Na2SO3, Fe(VI)-NaHSO3 and Fe(VI)-Na2S2O3 systems under the same experimental conditions. Moreover, the effects of critical operating parameters, inorganic anions, inorganic cations, and humic acid on the degradation of SMX by Fe(VI)-CaO2 system were revealed. The Fe(VI)-CaO2 system exhibited good applicability in authentic water. Finally, the underlying degradation intermediates of SMX by Fe(VI)-CaO2 system and their toxicity were confirmed. In conclusion, this study provides a new strategy for enhancing the oxidation capacity of Fe(VI) and comprehensively reveals the oxidation mechanism.

Abstract
Amino acid cysteine has been used as reducing mediator with the aim of improving dye degradation by homogeneous Fenton processes (Fe2+/H2O2 and Fe3+/H2O2). Through its known Fe3+-reducing activity, this amino acid can enhance the production of reactive oxygen species as HO• (hydroxyl radical) and its pro-oxidant properties have been verified while decolorizing diverse dyes in the present work. Its presence enhanced decolorization of Methyl Orange, Phenol Red, Safranin T, Rhodamine B, Reactive Black 5 and Reactive Yellow 2, mainly in reactions initially containing Fe3+ as a catalyst (Fe3+-reactions). E.g. Fe3+/H2O2 and Fe3+/H2O2/cysteine systems decolorized 27% and 44% of Phenol Red after 60 min, respectively. A kinetic modeling analysis has revealed that 1st-order and mainly 2nd-order kinetic models were well fitted to both Fe2+- and Fe3+-reactions data. Improvements in reaction rate constants have been observed by adding cysteine. In experiments performed at varied temperatures, it was found a decrease in activation energy (Ea) due to cysteine addition while decolorizing Safranin T: Ea decreased from 104.6 to 88.9 kJ mol-1 for Fe3+-reactions and from 81.0 to 52.2 kJ mol-1 for Fe2+-reactions. Therefore, it was found that cysteine decreases the energy barrier so as to improve Fenton-based decolorization reactions.

Abstract
l-cysteine-modified Fe3 O4 nanoparticles (l-cys@nFe3 O4 ) were synthesized successfully and used as catalyst to activate persulfate (PS) for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) degradation. The composite was fully characterized, and the l-cys@nFe3 O4 had more protrusions and l-cys was combined on the surface of nFe3 O4 . The removals of BTEX were 78.2%, 85.1%, 85.3%, 81.2%, respectively, in PS/l-cys@nFe3 O4 system, while only 52.7% 57.8%, 60.8%, and 56.3% of BTEX removals reached under the same condition for nFe3 O4 chelated with l-cys in 48 h. Four successive cycles of BTEX degradation were completed in PS/l-cys@nFe3 O4 system. The synergistic mechanisms of BTEX degradation in PS/l-cys@nFe3 O4 system were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), benzoic acid (BA) probe and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) tests. SFe bond in l-cys-Fe complexes promoted the electron transfer between nFe3 O4 core and the solution, iron and iron at the interface, thereby promoting the Fe3+ /Fe2+ cycle and the catalytic capacity of nFe3 O4 . The optimal pH of PS/l-cys@nFe3 O4 system was 3, while HCO3 - and Cl- exhibited negative influences on BTEX degradation. Only 14.2%, 15.5%, 15.9%, and 15.6% BTEX had been removed in the presence of 0.12-M PS and 8.0 g/L l-cys@nFe3 O4 under the actual groundwater condition. However, expanding the dosage of PS and l-cys@nFe3 O4 was an effective strategy to overcome the adverse effect. PRACTITIONER POINTS: L-cys@nFe3 O4 were synthesized successfully and used as catalyst to activate PS for BTEX degradation. Four successive cycles of BTEX degradation were completed in PS/L-cys@nFe3 O4 system. lS-Fe bond in L-cys@nFe3 O4 promoted the electron transfer between PS and nFe3 O4 core.

Unveiling the catalytic ability of carbonaceous materials in Fenton-like reaction by controlled-release CaO 2 nanoparticles for trichloroethylene degradation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 416:125935.

Abstract
Carbonaceous materials (CMs) have been applied extensively for enhancing the catalytic performance of environmental catalysts, however, the self-catalytic mechanism of CMs for groundwater remediation is rarely investigated. Herein, we unveiled the catalytic ability of various CMs via Fe(III) reduction through polyvinyl alcohol-coated calcium peroxide nanoparticles (PVA@nCP) for trichloroethylene (TCE) removal. Among selected CMs (graphite (G), biochar (BC) and activated carbon (AC)), BC and AC showed enhancement of TCE removal of 89% and 98% via both adsorption and catalytic degradation. BET and SEM analyses showed a higher adsorption capacity of AC (27.8%) than others. The generation of solution-Fe(II) and surface-Fe(II) revealed the reduction of Fe(III) on CMs-surface. The role of O-containing groups was investigated by the FTIR technique and XPS quantified the 52% and 57% surface-Fe(II) in BC and AC systems, respectively. EPR and quenching tests confirmed that both solution and surface-bound species (HO•, O2-• and 1O2) contributed to TCE degradation. Acidic pH condition encouraged TCE removal and the presence of HCO3- negatively affected TCE removal than other inorganic ions. Both schemes (PVA@nCP/Fe(III)/BC and PVA@nCP/Fe(III)/AC) exhibited promising results in the actual groundwater, surfactant-amended solution, and removal of other chlorinated-pollutants, opening a new direction towards green environmental remediation for prolonged benefits.

Abstract
Herein, the application of organic acids as chelating agent, including citric acid (CA), tartaric acid (TA), oxalic acid (OA) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), to enhance the degradation performance of MgO2/Fe(III) system was investigated in the terms of chelating agent dosage, Fe(III) dosage, reaction temperature, initial solution pH and inorganic anion. When the molar ratio of MgO2/Fe(III)/chelating agent was 1 : 0.7 : 0.3, the degradation efficiencies of Rhodamine B (RhB) increased from 6.7% (without chelating agent) to 42.3%, 98.5%, 48.9% and 25.8% within 30 min for CA, TA, OA, and EDTA, respectively. The promotion effect was mainly attributed to the chelation between chelating agents and Fe(III), rather than the acidification of chelating agents. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model well fitted RhB degradation in MgO2/Fe(III)/TA system, and the kinetic rate constant reached up to 0.295 min-1. Hydroxyl radical was confirmed to be the dominant active species to degrade organics in the MgO2/Fe(III)/TA system. Notably, the degradation system could work in a broad pH (3-11) and temperature (5-35 °C) range. Moreover, the MgO2/Fe(III)/TA system can also effectively degrade methylene blue, tetracycline and bisphenol A. This work provided a new, efficient and environmentally-friendly Fenton-like system for stubborn contaminant treatment.

Abstract
In this study, the enhanced trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation performance was investigated by polyvinyl alcohol coated calcium peroxide nanoparticles (PVA@nCP) as an oxidant in Fe(II)-based catalytic systems. The nanoscale iron sulfide (nFeS), having an average particle size of 115.4 nm, was synthesized in the laboratory and characterized by SEM, TEM, HR-TEM along with EDS elemental mapping, XRD, FTIR, ICP-OES, and XPS techniques. In only ferrous iron catalyzed system (PVA@nCP/Fe(II)), TCE degradation was recorded at 58.9% in 6 h. In comparison, this value was increased to 97.5% or 99.7% with the addition of citric acid (CA) or nFeS in PVA@nCP/Fe(II) system, respectively. A comparative study was performed with optimum usages of chemical reagents in both PVA@nCP/Fe(II)/CA and PVA@nCP/Fe(II)/nFeS systems. Further, the probe compounds tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis confirmed the generation of reactive oxygen species. The scavenging experiments elucidated the dominant role of HO• to TCE degradation, particularly in PVA@nCP/Fe(II)/nFeS system. Both CA and nFeS strengthened PVA@nCP/Fe(II) system, but displayed completely different mechanisms in the enhancement of active radicals generation; hence, their different contribution to TCE degradation. The acidic environment was favorable for TCE degradation, and a high concentration of HCO3- inhibited TCE removal in both systems. Conclusively, compared to PVA@nCP/Fe(II)/nFeS system, PVA@nCP/Fe(II)/CA system resulted in encouraging TCE degradation outcomes in actual groundwater, showing great potential for prolonged benefits in the remediation of TCE polluted groundwater.

Abstract
Magnetic CoFe2O4 is a promising heterogeneous catalyst with great separation and catalytic performance on peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. However, for extremely recalcitrant organic pollutants (e.g. Benzotriazole (BTA)), CoFe2O4/PMS system exhibits much low catalytic performance and high metal ion leaching. As such, CoFe2O4 supported on three-dimensional graphene aerogels (CoFe2O4@3DG) was synthesized via facile hydrothermal method. It turns out that 3DG as supporter significantly enhances specific surface area, redox activity and electron transfer of composite. The degradation rate constant in the CoFe2O4@3DG/PMS system (0.0203 min-1) is 15 times higher than that in the CoFe2O4/PMS system (0.0013 min-1). It results from synergistic activation of PMS by CoFe2O4 and 3DG to generate multiple reactive oxygen species (•OH, SO4-•, O2-• and 1O2). Particularly, high graphitization structure and low oxygen groups content of 3DG facilitate PMS adsorption on its surface and electron transfer from BTA to PMS. Ultimately, BTA is degraded into CO2, NH3 and intermediates through benzene and triazole ring-opening reactions. Moreover, CoFe2O4@3DG/PMS system displays good stability and recyclability. Therefore, this study provides a new way to improve CoFe2O4 activity for extremely recalcitrant organic pollutants degradation and new insights into synergistic activation of PMS by CoFe2O4 and 3DG, which further advances cobalt-based catalysts in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
The development of efficient solar driven catalyst for the degradation of antibiotics has become increasingly important in environmental protection. However, the reported efficient photocatalysts for antibiotic degradation are limited. In this work, porous Fe3+-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with outstanding photocatalytic ability is synthesized and then used as the photocatalyst for the efficient degradation of sulfadiazine (SDZ) under visible light. A series of characterization results indicate that Fe3+ is successfully doped into the interlayer of g-C3N4 and is stabilized in g-C3N4 by Fe-N coordination bond. The SEM, DRS and ESI and transient photocurrent results demonstrated that Fe3+-doped g-C3N4 has a porous structure, a low band gap, improved separation efficiency of photogenerated electron and holes as well as a wider light absorption range. Such improved physical and chemical properties greatly enhanced the photocatalytic ability. Using Fe3+-doped g-C3N4 for photocatalytic degradation of SDZ under white light, almost complete degradation of SDZ was achieved with a degradation efficiency as high as 99.8% (whereas only 52.1% for bulk g-C3N4) within 90 min. The degradation was mainly ascribe to 1O2 during the irradiation, and also a small amount of •O2-, OH• and h+ are involved in the degradation process. The Fe3+-doped g-C3N4 was applicable for the degradation of a wide range of antibiotic pollutants.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 727:138773. [PMID: 32335455 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.138773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2020] [Accepted: 04/15/2020] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
To improve the cycle between Fe3+ and Fe2+ in persulfate (PS) Fenton-like system, sulfite (Na2SO3) was used as the iron complexing agent to enhance the degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) antibiotic in water. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to regulate the operation parameters for the Fe3+/Na2SO3/PS synergistic system. Based on the RSM, the SMX could be completely degraded when the concentration of Fe3+, Na2SO3, and PS were 0.4, 0.5, and 2.5 mM, respectively. The result showed that the synergistic process represented a high Fe3+ utilization rate and SMX degradation efficiency. After 1 h reaction, 100.00% of SMX and 27.80% of total organic carbon were removed under the ambient conditions containing the initial SMX concentration of 10 μM and initial pH of 5.96. Free radical masking and electron spin-resonance tests proved that hydroxyl radical (HO) and oxysulfur radicals (SOx-, x = 3, 4, 5) were all played the significant role in the antibiotic removal, and the primary active radical was HO. The SMX decomposition pathways based on the formed intermediates was proposed through the high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrum analyses. The toxicity assessment prediction indicated that the toxicities of decomposed SMX byproducts were reduced after the coupling treatment.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 393:122414. [PMID: 32143160 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.122414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2019] [Revised: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Applications of noble metal decorated photocatalytic nanomaterials are restricted by its high cost. In this study, carboxymethyl β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD), as an alternative to gold nanoparticle, was used to modified titanium dioxide (CM-β-CD-P25) to accelerate photoelectron transmission and enhance the organic contaminants removal from water. Several of emerging organic contaminants, such as bisphenol A (BPA), phenol and sulphanilamide (SA), were used to evaluate their photocatalytic activities. Carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin not only provide hydrophobic sites to entrap organic contaminants but also provide a "bridge" for accelerated transmission of photogenerated charges without introducing the recombination interface. Consequently, 91.6 % of BPA, 71.9 % of phenol and 97.1 % of SA could be removed by CM-β-CD-P25(2:1) under 1 h UV light irradiation. The photooxidation rate constant of BPA, phenol and SA by CM-β-CD-P25(2:1) were 0.039 min-1, 0.021 min-1 and 0.062 min-1, respectively, which are much higher than that of pristine P25 and Au-P25. Moreover, the photocatalytic activity of CM-β-CD-P25(2:1) remains almost unchanged in repeated cycle test owing to its high stability. The reasonable mechanism of CM-β-CD-P25 were investigated. CM-β-CD-P25 hybrid nanoparticles completely surpasses Au-P25 in organic contaminants removal, and shows great potential to replace noble metal as mediator.

Abstract
Encapsulation metal oxides into carbon frameworks is a good strategy to synthesis high activity and stable catalyst. Here, Fe3O4 nanoparticles (∼20 nm) were firmly encapsulated in the graphene aerogels by a simple and environmentally friendly method (Fe3O4/GAs), for activating persulfate (PS) to degrade malachite green (MG) under simulated sunlight. A strong electron conduction was generated between the Fe3O4 nanoparticles and graphene sheets to improve the cycle of Fe(II)/Fe(III), and the MG degradation over a wide pH rage (3-9) was enhanced greatly. The MG molecule was decomposed into 12 intermediates and two possible pathways was proposed. More importantly, toxicity test and Toxicity Estimation Software (T.E.S.T.) proved that the toxicity of MG can be effectively controlled by Fe3O4/GAs + PS + light system. In addition to the high catalytic activity, Fe3O4/GAs exhibited a good stability and reusability due to the strong interaction between Fe3O4 and graphene layers. The degradation efficiency remained above 87% after six cycles, and the leaching amount of iron in each cycle was less than 0.125 wt%. SO4•- was the dominate radical for MG degradation and the heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction was mainly performed on the surface of catalyst. This work lay a foundation for applying Fe3O4/GAs as a highly efficient, stable and reusable heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst for future applications.

Abstract
In this study, iron foam combined ozonation was employed as an advanced oxidation process to treat the organic contaminants in real pharmaceutical wastewater. It was found that this procedure worked well in a wide range of pH, the existence of iron foam in ozonation system markedly elevated the mineralization level of organic contaminants. Within the reaction time of 120 min, iron foam combined ozonation achieved 53% of DOC removal percentage, which was 21% higher than that of ozone alone. Meanwhile, the biodegradability of the pharmaceutical wastewater was improved, a large part of the organic pollutants containing benzene rings and amino groups were effectively degraded, and a certain amount of phosphate and nitrogen also get removed. In iron foam combined ozonation, zero valent iron played the role as an activator. It was oxidized into iron oxides and oxyhydroxides, the electrons transferring among different valences of iron stimulated the decomposition of ozone and the generation of hydroxyl radicals, which accounted for most of the organic contaminants degradation.

Abstract
Micropollution such as pharmaceutical residuals potentially compromises water quality and jeopardizes human health. This study evaluated the photo-Fenton ceramic membrane filtration toward the removal of sulfadiazine (SDZ) as a common antibiotic chemical. The batch experiments verified that the photo-Fenton reactions with as Goethite (α-FeOOH) as the photo-Fenton catalyst achieved the degradation rates of 100% within 60 min with an initial SDZ concentration of 12 mg·L-1. Meanwhile, a mineralization rate of over 80% was obtained. In continuous filtration, a negligible removal rate (e.g., 4%) of SDZ was obtained when only filtering the feed solution with uncoated or catalyst-coated membranes. However, under Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, both the removal rates of SDZ were significantly increased to 70% (no H2O2) and 99% (with H2O2), respectively, confirming the active degradation by the photo-Fenton reactions. The highest apparent quantum yield (AQY) reached up to approximately 25% when the UV254 intensity was 100 μW·cm-2 and H2O2 was 10 mmol·L-1. Moreover, the photo-Fenton reaction was shown to effectively mitigate fouling and prevent flux decline. This study demonstrated synchronization of photo-Fenton reactions and membrane filtration to enhance micropollutant degradation. The findings are also important for rationale design and operation of photo-Fenton or photocatalytic membrane filtration systems.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, cyclodextrin-based adsorbents have drawn worldwide attention as new-generation adsorbents for wastewater treatment due to its extraordinary physicochemical properties. This review outlined the recent development in the synthesis of cyclodextrin-based adsorbents as well as highlighted their applications in the removal of heavy metals, dyes, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and mixed pollutants from water. The cross-linked and immobilized cyclodextrin-based adsorbents exhibited excellent adsorption performances. The removal of dyes and heavy metals were effectively controlled by ion exchanging, mainly depending upon the pH; while the adsorptions of EDCs always occurred in cyclodextrin cavities and pH-independent. An easier separation process between aqueous and adsorbents could be achieved compared to native cyclodextrin, which promoted the application of cyclodextrin-based adsorbents in practical industry. This review could provide an inspiration for the advanced study in the development of cyclodextrin-based adsorbents for high efficiency wastewater treatment.
