JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 353:120160. [PMID: 38278120 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120160] [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: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
The partial substitution of A-site in perovskites is a major strategy to enhance the catalytic oxidation activity. This study explores the use of silver (Ag) to partially replace the lanthanum (La) ion at the A-site in LaCoO3 perovskite, investigating the role of Ag in the ABO3 perovskite structure, elucidating the nitric oxide (NO) oxidation mechanism over La1-xAgxCoO3 (x = 0.1-0.5) perovskites. La0.7Ag0.3CoO3 with an Ag-doping amount of 0.3, exhibited the highest NO oxidation activity of 88.5% at 275 °C. Characterization results indicated that Ag substitution enhanced the perovskite, maintaining its original phase structure, existing in the form of a mixture of Ag0 and Ag+ in the La1-xAgxCoO3 (x = 0.1-0.5) perovskites. Notably, Ag substitution improved the specific surface area, reduction performance, Co3+, and surface adsorption oxygen content. Additionally, the study investigated the relationship between magnetism and NO oxidation from a magnetism perspective. Ag-doping strengthened the magnetism of La-Ag perovskite, resulting in stronger adsorption of paramagnetic NO. This study elucidated the NO oxidation mechanism over La-Ag perovskite, considering structural and magnetic properties, providing valuable insights for the subsequent development and industrial application of high oxidation ability perovskite catalysts.

Abstract
To recover multimedia mercury from coal-fired power plants, a novel N-containing conjugated polymer (polyaniline and polypyrrole) functionalized fly ash was prepared, which could continuously adsorb 99.2% of gaseous Hg0 at a high space velocity of 368,500 h-1 and nearly 100% of aqueous Hg2+ in the solution pH range of 2-12. The adsorption capacities of Hg0 and Hg2+ reach 1.62 and 101.36 mg/g, respectively. Such a kind of adsorbent has good environmental applicability, i.e. good resistance to coexisting O2/NO/SO2 and coexisting Na+/K+/Ca2+/Mg2+/SO42-. This adsorbent has very low specific resistances (6 × 106-5 × 109 Ω·cm) and thus can be easily collected by an electrostatic precipitator under low-voltage (0.1-0.8 kV). The Hg-saturated adsorbent can desorb almost 100% Hg under relatively low temperature (<250 °C). Characterization and theoretical calculations reveal that conjugated-N is the critical site for adsorbing both Hg0 and Hg2+ as well as activating chlorine. Gaseous Hg0 is oxidized and adsorbed in the form of HgXClX(ad), while aqueous Hg2+ is adsorbed to form a complex with conjugated-N, and parts of Hg2+ are reduced to Hg+ by conjugated-N. This adsorbent can be easily large-scale manufactured; thus, this novel solid waste functionalization method is promising to be applied in coal-fired power plants and other Hg-involving industrial scenes.

Abstract
Because of its high mobility and difficult capture, gaseous arsenic pollution control has become the focus of arsenic pollution control. It mainly exists in the form of highly toxic As2O3 in the flue gas. Therefore, removing gaseous As2O3 from flue gas is of great practical significance for arsenic pollution control. Stabilizing gaseous As2O3 on the surface of adsorbents by physical or chemical adsorption is an effective way to reduce the content of arsenic in the flue gas and alleviate arsenic pollution. Over the past few decades, various adsorbents have been developed to capture gaseous As2O3 in the flue gas, and their adsorption mechanisms have been studied in detail. Thus, it is necessary to review the strategies of arsenic removal from flue gas by adsorption, which can inspire further research. Based on summarizing the morphological distribution of gaseous As2O3 in the flue gas, this review further summarizes the removal of gaseous As2O3 by several adsorbents and the effect of temperature and the main components of the flue gas on arsenic adsorption. In addition, the mechanism of arsenic removal based on adsorption in the flue gas is discussed in depth through theoretical calculations, which is the particular focus of this review. Finally, prospects based on the present research state of arsenic removal by adsorption are proposed to provide ideas for developing effective and stable adsorbents for arsenic removal from flue gas.

Dual-functional effect encompassing adsorption and catalysis by Mn-modified iron-based sorbents for arsenic removal: Experimental and DFT study. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 459:132079. [PMID: 37478595 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Arsenic oxidation plays a crucial role in its removal, which has been identified in numerous studies. However, the mechanisms, especially reaction pathways of arsenic oxidation on sorbent surfaces remain inadequately explored. In this work, the effects of Mn doping on arsenic adsorption and oxidation were first verified by adsorption experiments. Subsequently, DFT calculations were carried out to identify alterations in the adsorption energies, active sites, and oxidation pathways. By integrating the experimental and simulation results, a dual-functional framework encompassing adsorption and catalysis of Mn-modified Fe-based material was distinctly established. For adsorption, the introduction of manganese into iron-based sorbent considerably enhanced As2O3 adsorption owing to the increased active sites available for As2O3 chemisorption and the promotion of surface nucleophilicity. Concerning oxidative catalysis, the incorporation of MnO2 augmented surface catalytic oxidation and provided a substantial amount of active Oload. Consequently, the arsenic oxidation occurring on the Mn-modified sorbent surfaces possessed a lower oxidation RDS energy barrier and a shorter oxidation pathway than those on the bare sorbent surfaces. These experimental and simulation results provide a theoretical basis for the design and application of efficient gaseous arsenic adsorbents.

Efficient utilization of free radicals in advanced oxidation processes under high-gravity environment for disposing pollutants in effluents and gases: A critical review. CHEMOSPHERE 2023:139057.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) using strongly oxidizing radicals are promising for wastewater treatment and gas purification. Nevertheless, the short half-life of radicals and the limited mass transfer in traditional reactors cause under-utilization of radicals and low pollutant removal efficiency. High-gravity technology (HiGee)-enhanced AOPs (HiGee-AOPs) have been demonstrated a promising way to enhance radical utilization in a rotating packed bed reactor (RPB). Here, we review the potential mechanisms of intensified radical utilization in HiGee-AOPs, structures and performance of RPB, and applications of HiGee in AOPs. The intensification mechanisms are described from three aspects: enhanced generation of radicals by efficient mass transfer, in-situ radical utilization under frequent liquid film renewal, and selective effect on radical utilization due to micromixing in RPB. Based on these mechanisms, we propose a novel High-gravity flow reaction with the essence of efficiency, in-situ, and selectivity in order to better explain the strengthening mechanisms in HiGee-AOPs. HiGee-AOPs possess great potential for treating effluent and gaseous pollutants due to characteristics of High-gravity flow reaction. We discuss the pros and cons of different RPBs and their applications to specific HiGee-AOPs. HiGee improve the following AOPs: (1) facilitate interfacial mass transfer in homogeneous AOPs, (2) enhance mass transfer to expose more catalytically active sites and mass-produce nanocatalysts for heterogeneous AOPs, (3) inhibit bubble accumulation on the electrode surface of electrochemical AOPs, (4) increase the mass transfer between liquid and catalysts in UV-assisted AOPs, (5) improve the micromixing efficiency of ultrasound-based AOPs. Strategies outlined in this paper should inspire further development of HiGee-AOPs.

Abstract
An advanced experimental protocol is reported for studying the kinetics and mechanism of the complex redox reaction between chlorite ion and hypochlorous acid under acidic condition. The formation of ClO2 is followed directly by the classical two-component stopped-flow method. In sequential stopped-flow experiments, the target reaction is chemically quenched using NaI solution and the concentration of each reactant and product is monitored as a function of time by utilizing the principles of kinetic discrimination. Thus, in contrast to earlier studies, not only the formation of one of the products but the decay of the reactants was also directly followed. This approach provides a firm basis for postulating a detailed mechanism for the interpretation of the experimental results under a variety of conditions. The intimate details of the reaction are explored by simultaneously fitting 78 kinetic traces, i.e., the concentration vs. time profiles of ClO2-, HOCl, and ClO2, to an 11-step kinetic model. The most important reaction steps were identified, and it was shown that two reactive intermediates have a pivotal role in the mechanism. While chlorate ion predominantly forms via the reaction of Cl2O, chlorine dioxide is exclusively produced in reaction steps involving Cl2O2. This study leads to clear conclusions on how to control the stoichiometry of the reaction and achieve optimum conditions to produce chlorine dioxide and to reduce the formation of the toxic chlorate ion in practical applications.

Abstract
Iron (Fe)-based catalysts are widely used for taming nitrogen oxides (NOx) containing flue gas, but the regeneration and long-term reusability remains a concern. The reusability can be acquired by external additives, and resultantly can not only increase the cost but can also add to process complexity as well as secondary pollutants. Herein, a self-sustainable material is designed to regenerate the catalyst for long-term reusability without adding to process complexity. The catalyst is based on reduced graphene-oxide impregnated by Fe2O3-MnO (rGO@Fe2O3-MnO; G-F-M) for spontaneous intra electron (e-)-transfer from Mn to Fe. The developed catalyst; G-M-F exhibited 93.7% NOx reduction, which suggests its high catalytic activity. The morphological and structure characterizations confirmed the Fe/Mn loading, contributing to e--transfer between Mn and Fe due to its conductivity. The synthesized G-F-M showed higher NOx reduction about 2.5 folds, than rGO@Fe2O3 (G-FeO) and rGO@MnOx (G-MnOx). The performance of G-M-F without and with an electrochemical system was also compared, and the difference was only 5%, which is an evidence of the spontaneous e- transfer between the Mn and Fe-NOx complex. The designed catalyst can be used for a long time without external assistance, and its efficiency was not affected significantly (<3.7%) in the presence of high oxygen contents (8%). The as-prepared G-M-F catalyst has great potential for executing a dual role NOx removal and self-regeneration of catalyst (SRC), promoting a sustainable remediation approach for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Currently, most advanced oxidation denitrification technologies require long flue gas residence time to obtain ideal NO removal efficiency. The NaOH-catalyzed H2O2 system proposed in this paper can obtain 98% NO removal efficiency under the condition of flue gas residence time of 3 s. The mechanism of NO removal and H2O2 decomposition to O2 were proposed. It was confirmed with ESR (Electron-spin-resonance), inhibitor experiments and UV-Vis spectrophotometer that the main group in the reaction process was·O2- radicals, which reacted with NO to form ONOO-, and ONOO- would be gradually transformed into NO3- and NO2- in the air. The effect of some primary factors on the NO removal efficiency and the percentage of H2O2 decomposition to O2 were also investigated. The increase of initial pH has a positive effect on NO removal, while the promotion of NO removal by increasing H2O2 concentration and reaction temperature is limited and the increase of NO has a negative effect on NO removal. Initial pH has a dual impact on the percentage of H2O2 decomposition to O2, H2O2 concentration and reaction temperature promote the decomposition of H2O2 to O2, while NO concentration has an inhibiting effect on it.

Abstract
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) is a major gaseous pollutant in flue gases from power plants, industrial processes, and waste incineration that can have adverse impacts on the environment and human health. Many denitrification (de-NOx) technologies have been developed to reduce NOx emissions in the past several decades. This paper provides a review of the recent literature on NOx post-combustion purification methods with different reagents. From the perspective of changes in the valence of nitrogen (N), purification technologies against NOx in flue gas are classified into three approaches: oxidation, reduction, and adsorption/absorption. The removal processes, mechanisms, and influencing factors of each method are systematically reviewed. In addition, the main challenges and potential breakthroughs of each method are discussed in detail and possible directions for future research activities are proposed. This review provides a fundamental and systematic understanding of the mechanisms of denitrification from flue gas and can help researchers select high-performance and cost-effective methods.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (•OH) in fuel combustion gas seriously damages human health. The techniques for simultaneously detecting and scavenging •OH in these gases are limited by poor thermal resistance. To meet this challenge, herein, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with high thermal stability (80-400 °C) and dual function (•OH detection and elimination) are developed by coordinating Ce ions with terephthalic acid (TA) (Ce-BDC). Due to the reversible conversion between Ce3+ and Ce4+, and the high concentration of Ce3+ on the surface of Ce-BDC MOFs (89.6%), an •OH scavenging efficiency over 90% is realized. Ratiometric fluorescence (I440 nm/I355 nm) detection of •OH with a low detection limit of ∼4 μM is established by adopting Ce ions as an internal standard and TA as an •OH-responsive fluorophore. For real applications, the Ce-BDC MOFs demonstrate excellent •OH detection sensitivity and high •OH scavenging efficiency in gas produced from cigarettes, wood fiber and machine oil. Mouse model results show that the damage caused by •OH in cigarette smoke can be greatly reduced by Ce-BDC MOFs. This work provides a promising strategy for sensitively detecting and efficiently eliminating •OH in fuel combustion gas.

Abstract
Microwave radiation has received extensive attention due to its significant thermal and non-thermal effects, and the development of MW-based denitrification in flue gas has become one of the most promising methods to avoid the defects of ammonia escape, high temperature and cost in traditional SCR. This review introduces the thermal and non-thermal effects of microwaves and divides MW-based denitrification methods into MW reduction and oxidation denitrification, systematically summarizes these denitrification methods, including MW discharge reduction, MW-induced catalytic reduction using active carbon, molecular sieves, metal oxides (transition metals, perovskites, etc.), MW-induced oxidation denitrification with and without additional oxidant, and discusses their removal pathway and mechanism. Finally, several research prospects and directions regarding the development of microwave-based denitrification methods are provided.

Abstract
The nitrogen and sulphur oxide (NOx and SO2) emissions are causing a serious threat to the existence of life on earth, requiring their effective removal for a sustainable future. Among various approaches, catalytic or electrochemical reduction of air pollutants (NOx) has gained much attention due to its high efficiency and the possibility of converting these gases into valuable products. However, the required catalysts are generally synthesized from lab-grade chemicals, which may not be a sustainable approach. Herein, a sustainable approach is presented to synthesize an efficient iron-based catalyst directly from industrial/lake wastewater (WW) for NOx-reduction. According to the theoretical calculations and experimental results, Fe-ions could be readily recovered from wastewater because it has the best adsorption efficiency among all other co-existing metals (Ni2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cu2+, and Cr6+). The subsequent experimental investigations confirmed the preferential Fe adsorption from different WW streams to develop Fe3O4@EDTA-Fe composite, whereby Fe3O4 could be used due to its high recycling ability, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) acted as a chelating agent to adsorb Fe-metal from effluents. The Fe3O4@EDTA-Fe exhibited high efficiency (≥87%) for NOx reduction even in the presence of high-degree oxygen contents (10-12%). Moreover, Fe3O4-EDTA-Fe showed excellent long-term stability for 24 h and maintained more than 80% NOx reduction. The fabricated catalyst has a great potential for executing a dual role simultaneously for Fe-recovery and NOx removal, promoting the circular economy concept and providing a potentially sustainable remediation approach for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Due to the highly evolved industrialization and modernization, air quality has deteriorated in most countries. As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is now considered as one of the major threats to global health and a principal risk factor for noncommunicable diseases. Meanwhile, the increasing worldwide prevalence of overweight and obesity is attracting more public attentions. Recently, accumulating epidemiological studies have provided evidence that overweight and obesity may be partially attributable to environmental exposure to air pollution. This review summarizes the epidemiological evidence for the correlation between exposure to various outdoor and indoor air pollutants (mainly particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ozone (O3), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)) and overweight and obesity outcomes in recent years. Moreover, it discusses the multiple effects of air pollution during exposure periods throughout life and sex differences in populations. This review also describes the potential mechanism underlying the increased risk of obesity caused by air pollution, including inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic imbalance, intestinal flora disorders and epigenetic modifications. Finally, this review proposes macro- and micro-measures to prevent the negative effects of air pollution exposure on the obesity prevalence.

Abstract
The CuI/IIATP react with methyl radicals to form methane and methanol, where CuIATP reacts with •CH3 in a process that is surprisingly slow. The low-rate constant of this process is attributed to the significant rearrangement of the chelating ligand required for the transient's formation. These results were corroborated by DFT calculations of the relevant compounds.

Abstract
Commercial rutile TiO2 particles capped with Al2O3 and ZrO2 layers, which are widely used in white pigments, can serve as a starting material for the fabrication of visible light-responsive photocatalysts toward gas-phase NO oxidation. The as-received TiO2 with iron impurities exhibited reduced photocatalytic activity, and the activity was boosted by the deposition of additional iron comparable in quantity to the intrinsic iron impurity level. Analyses using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy revealed that the deposited iron and intrinsic impurity iron are dissimilar in terms of location, oxidation states, and interaction with TiO2. This suggests that tracking the structure and impurity levels of photocatalyst elements can be crucial for understanding structure-activity relationships of real catalysts.

Abstract
Our previous work had demonstrated that UV/NaClO2 was the best advanced oxidation method in terms of nitric oxide (NO) removal, but we have not studied the impact of the fly ash on NO removal under such conditions. For this, this paper selected six kinds of fly ashes and studied their effects on NO removal. The micromorphology, elemental composition, and the elemental oxidation states of these six fly ashes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma methods. The main inorganic components in the six fly ashes are metal oxides (Fe2O3/Fe3O4, SiO2, Al2O3, ZnO, MgO, and TiO2), carbonates (Na2CO3 and CaCO3), and chlorides (NaCl, KCl, and MgCl2). The experimental results suggested that high solubility was the premise condition for the fly ashes exhibiting an inhibitory effect on NO removal. Among all of the metal compounds, Fe2O3/Fe3O4 exhibited the highest inhibitory contribution rate to the NO removal (22.9-45.7%). The anions of Cl- and CO3 2- acted as scavengers for the free radicals which greatly impaired the oxidation of NO. Based on the simulation experimental results and the UV-vis analysis, the order of inhibitory contribution rates of various metal compounds to the NO removal was determined as Fe2O3/Fe3O4 > TiO2 ≈ Na2CO3 > Al2O3 ≈ ZnO ≈ MnO2 > CaCO3 > NaCl > KCl ≈ SiO2 ≈ MgCl2.

Abstract
To control the SO2 emission and achieve the target of "waste controlled by waste", a novel desulfurization method with blast furnace dust slurry was proposed. The effects of reaction temperature, oxygen concentration, and solid-liquid ratio on SO2 removal efficiency were investigated. The optimal conditions were reaction temperature of 35 ℃, oxygen concentration of 10 vol.%, and solid-liquid ratio of 0.5 g/300 mL. Under the optimal conditions, the desulfurization efficiency reached 100% for 4 h. Response surface methodology (RSM) results showed that oxygen concentration significantly influenced the SO2 removal efficiency. Finally, the possible desulfurization mechanism of blast furnace dust was proposed based on the EDX, XRD, SEM-EDS, ICP, and IC. The blast furnace dust (main components are CaZn8(SO4)2(OH)12Cl2·(H2O)9, Mn6.927Si6O15·(OH)8, ZnO, Fe2O3) reacted with H+ to form Zn2+, Fe3+, and Mn2+ which shows a key effect on the SO2 liquid catalytic oxidation. This study provides a promising, feasible, and low-cost desulfurization technology by reusing blast furnace dust.

Abstract
The mechanism of reaction of DOTA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) with ·CH3, CH3O2· and ·OH radicals were studied. The radicals were formed in situ radiolytically. The methyl radicals react orders of magnitude slower with DOTA and with MIII(DOTA)- than the hydroxyl radicals. The various final products were identified and mechanisms for their formation are proposed. CH3O2· radicals do not react, or react too slowly to be observed, with DOTA and with MIII(DOTA)- as long as the central cation is not oxidized by the peroxyl radical. The results imply that synthesis of the MIII(DOTA)-(MIII = radioisotope) complexes in a water-organic solvent (ethanol or 2-propanol or acetonitrile) mixture is not only kinetically desired but the so formed complex also decreases the radiolytic decomposition of DOTA.

Zirconium hydroxide nanoparticle encapsulated magnetic biochar composite derived from rice residue: Application for As(III) and As(V) polluted water purification. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 423:127081. [PMID: 34523481 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 29.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Revised: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Finding a low-cost and suitable adsorbent is still in urgent need for efficient decontamination of As(III) and As(V) elements from the polluted waters. A novel zirconium hydroxide nanoparticle encapsulated magnetic biochar composite (ZBC) derived from rice residue was synthesized for the adsorptive capture of As(III) and As(V) from aqueous solutions. The results revealed that ZBC showed an acceptable magnet separation ability and its surface was encapsulated with lots of hydrous zirconium oxide nanoparticles. Compared to As(III), the adsorption of As(V) onto ZBC was mainly dependent on the pH of the solution. The intraparticle diffusion model described the adsorption process. ZBC showed satisfactory adsorption performances to As(III) and As(V) with the highest adsorption quantity of 107.6 mg/g and 40.8 mg/g at pH 6.5 and 8.5, respectively. The adsorption of As(III) and As(V) on ZBC was almost impervious with the ionic strength while the presence of coexisting ions, especially phosphate, significantly affected the adsorption process. The processes of complexation reaction and electrostatic attraction contributed to the adsorption of As(III) and As(V) onto ZBC. ZBC prepared from kitchen rice residue was found to be a low cost environmentally friendly promising adsorbent with high removal capacity for As(III) and As(V) and could be recycled easily from contaminated waters.

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
To realize the selective catalytic reduction of NO at low-medium temperatures and avoid secondary pollution, a highly active catalyst Mn/Co-MOF-74 was synthesized. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, and scanning electron microscopy were employed to analyze the physicochemical properties of catalysts with different Mn/Co molar ratios and conjecture about the difference in the catalytic activity. Meanwhile, the effects of the molar ratio of Mn/Co, catalyst dosage, catalyst synthesis conditions, GHSV, and temperature on the NO conversion efficiencies were investigated and found that an optimal NO conversion efficiency of 93.5% was obtained at 200-225 °C. In the end, the stability of Mn/Co-MOF-74 was investigated and found that the catalyst has better sulfur and water resistance, and the NO conversion mechanism was speculated on the basis of characterizations and literature data.

Abstract
Due to the continuous increase in industrial pollution and modern lifestyle, several types of air contaminants and their concentrations are emerging in the atmosphere. Besides, photocatalysis has gained much attention in the elimination of air pollution. Several ultraviolet and visible light active photocatalysts were tested in air pollutant treatment and thereby, the number of reports was increased in the past few years. In this context, this review describes the photocatalytic treatment of gaseous inorganic contaminants like NOx, H2S, and organic pollutants like formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and benzene derivatives. Different photocatalysts with their air pollutant removal efficiency were explained. Improving strategies such as metal/non-metal doping, composite formation for photocatalyst activities have been studied. Moreover, an analysis is presented from each of the existing photocatalytic immobilization approaches. Also, factors responsible for effective photocatalysis were explained. Overall, the photocatalytic abatement technique is an auspicious way to eliminate different air contaminants. Besides, existing drawbacks and future challenges are also discussed.

Abstract
Elemental mercury (Hg0) removal from a hot gas is still challenging since high temperature influences the Hg0 removal and regenerable performance of the sorbent. In this work, a facile yet innovative sonochemical method was developed to synthesize a thermally stable magnetic tea biochar to capture the Hg0 from syngas. A sonochemically synthesized magnetic sorbent (TUF0.46) exhibited a more prodigious surface area with developed pore structures, ultra-paramagnetic properties, and high dispersion of Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3 particles than a simply synthesized magnetic sorbent (TF0.46). The results showed that TUF0.46 demonstrated strong thermostability and attained a high Hg0 removal performance (∼98.6%) at 200 °C. After the 10th adsorption/regeneration cycle, the Hg0 removal efficiency of TUF0.46 was 19% higher than that of TF0.46. Besides, at 23.1% Hg0 breakthrough, TUF0.46 achieved an average Hg0 adsorption capacity of 16.58 mg/g within 24 h under complex syngas (20% CO, 20% H2, 5% H2O, and 400 ppm H2S). In addition, XPS results revealed that surface-active components (Fe+, O2-, O*, C=O) were the key factor for high Hg0 removal performance over TUF0.46 from syngas. Hence, sonochemistry is a promising practical tool for improving the surface morphology, thermal resistance, renewability, and Hg0 removal efficiency of a sorbent.

Abstract
The abatement of SO2 and the utilization of copper tailings are identified as two attention-attracting environmental issues in the copper smelter. In this study, to improve the flue gas desulfurization performance and the utilization of copper tailings, SO2 removal from smelting flue gas by using copper tailings combined with MnSO4·H2O was investigated. The effects of operation variables, including inlet SO2 concentration, absorption temperature, slurry concentration, and MnSO4·H2O amount, on the flue gas desulfurization performance were studied based on the response surface method. It was found that the effect of operation variables on SO2 removal follows the descending order: the inlet SO2 concentration, MnSO4·H2O concentration, absorbent temperature, and solid-liquid ratio. The interaction between the inlet SO2 concentration and MnSO4·H2O concentration is an important factor for breakthrough sulfur capacity. Elevated temperature and high initial SO2 concentration inhibited the efficient removal of SO2. Moreover, a proposed equation exhibits good consistency in the prediction for the breakthrough sulfur dioxide capacity. Therefore, the results can provide a reliable reference and basis for industrial application for flue gas desulfurization with copper tailings.

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 emission of gaseous pollutants from the combustion of fossil fuels is believed to be one of the most serious environmental challenges in the 21st century. Given the increasing demands of multipollutant control (MPC) via adsorption or catalysis technologies, such as NOx, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals (Hg etc.), and ammonia, and considering investment costs and site space, the use of existing equipment, especially the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system to convert pollutants into harmless or readily adsorbed substances, is one of the most practical approaches. Consequently, many efforts have been directed at achieving the simultaneous elimination of multipollutants in a SCR convertor, and this method has been widely used to mitigate the stationary emission of NOx. However, the development of active, selective, stable, and multifunctional catalysts/adsorbents suitable for large-scale commercialization remains challenging. Herein, we summarize recent works on the applications of SCR in MPC, describing the approaches of (i) SCR + VOCs oxidation, (ii) SCR + heavy metal control, and (iii) SCR + NH3 reduction to reveal that the efficiency of simultaneous elimination depends on catalyst composition and flue gas parameters. Furthermore, the synergistic promotional/inhibitory effects between SCR and VOCs/ammonia/heavy metal oxidations are shown to be the key to the feasibility of the reactions.

Abstract
In this paper, the simultaneous removal of SO2 and NOx catalyzed by Fe-Mo mixed oxides at varying Mo/Fe atomic ratios was reported for the first time with the aim of reducing H2O2 consumption and elucidating the roles of Fe and Mo species in the catalytic process. Fe-Mo mixed oxides with varying Mo/Fe atomic ratios were synthesized and the catalytic performances were systematically studied. The catalyst with Mo/Fe atomic ratio of 2.0 exhibited the highest activity, with which removal efficiencies of 89.4 % for NOx and 100 % for SO2 can be attained at extremely low H2O2 dosage. Products analysis revealed that SO2 was mainly removed via wet scrubber, while the adequate oxidation resulting from OH radicals was the prerequisite for NOx removal. The redox pair of Fe2+/Fe3+ played a significant role in decomposing H2O2, while Mo species had double effect on catalytic activity. Higher Mo content resulted in abundant oxygen vacancies and stronger surface acidity, which favored OH formation. However, the excessive Mo content involved severe surface Mo enrichment and remarkably reduced the active sites of Fe species. The H2O2/Fe-Mo catalyst system showed excellent stability and had a promising prospect for simultaneously removing SO2 and NOx in coal-fired flue gas.

Utilization of electrochemical treatment and surface reconstruction to achieve long lasting catalyst for NO x removal. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 401:123440. [PMID: 33113717 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2020] [Revised: 06/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
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.

A Novel Method for Simultaneous Removal of NO and SO2 from Marine Exhaust Gas via In-Site Combination of Ozone Oxidation and Wet Scrubbing Absorption. JOURNAL OF MARINE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 2020.

Abstract
The stringent international regulations on marine emission abatement have exerted a huge push on the development of marine desulfurization and denitrification technologies. However, for the traditional vessels driven by large two-stroke diesel engines, simultaneous removal of NOx and SO2 is still a big challenge at present. Here, a one-stage ozone oxidation combined with in-situ wet scrubbing for simultaneous removal of NO and SO2 is proposed. A series of experiments were performed based on a bench-scale reaction system. The results showed that in-situ wet scrubbing could effectively decrease flue gas temperature, and then suppress the thermal decomposition of ozone, which was beneficial for improve oxidant utilization. Meanwhile, the in-situ combination of ozone injection and wet scrubbing was in favor of improving the selectivity oxidation of NO over SO2 by ozone, which was possibly due to the high aqueous solubility of SO2 in water. Aiming to reduce the electric power consumption by an ozone generating system, O3/NO molar ratio was kept as low as possible. A complete removal of SO2 and a high NOx removal efficiency could be achieved through the introduction of other oxidative additives in scrubbing solution. This integrated system designed for marine application was of great significance.

Abstract
Based on the implementation of the global Minamata Convention, developing an efficient and economical technology for mercury reduction in coal-fired flue gas becomes a hotspot in the field of air pollution control. The composite oxidant NaClO/NaClO2 combined with limestone was used in the simultaneous removal of SO2 and Hg0 in this study, and the three-factor and four-level orthogonal experiments were performed in a packed tower. The influential sequence of various factors on SO2 and Hg0 removals was investigated through range analysis of the orthogonal experiments. Results showed that factors affecting desulfurization was C > A > B (liquid-gas ratio > oxidant concentration ratio > initial pH of absorption liquid), while factors affecting Hg0 removal was A > C > B (oxidant concentration ratio > liquid-gas ratio > initial pH of absorption liquid). Optimum conditions of simultaneous desulfurization and demercuration by NaClO/NaClO2 were A4B1C4; that is, the oxidant concentration ratio was 10/4 (mmol/L:mmol/L), the initial pH was 5, and the liquid-gas ratio was 18 (L/m3). The simultaneous removal efficiencies of SO2 and Hg0 reached 99.5 and 85.4% under these optimum conditions, respectively. Analysis of the characteristics of the solid products showed that the main products of the wet oxidation were CaSO4 and CaSO3. Analysis of the existing form of oxidized mercury showed that 23% of mercury was in the gypsum, while 77% was in the supernatant. Results of this research would provide a practical reference for promoting the simultaneous removal of SO2 and Hg0 by NaClO/NaClO2 with limestone in industrial application.

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
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.
