ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2024:1-12. [PMID: 38950168 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2024.2367722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
Phosphorus is an indispensable and irreplaceable element in the ecosystem. Based on the ability of ferrate(VI) to remove phosphate by producing iron phosphate, a new method for using ferrate(VI) to treat hypophosphite has been studied. In this study, ferrate was added to the hypophosphate solution in a controlled manner, and the oxidation efficiency of ferrate(VI) on hypophosphate was studied under various initial pH conditions, when the pH value of 6.0, the hypophosphate oxidation rate reached 14.0%. Research findings, Ferrate recovered hypophosphate through precipitation and adsorption under various initial pH conditions. To further investigate the mechanism of hypophosphate recovery, the morphology and microstructure of the deposition were analysed using Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The kinetic process of ferrate recovery from hypophosphate was analysed. The recovery process follows second-order reaction kinetics, and the reaction rate is highest at pH 6.0. The value of kA1 is 1.742 × 10-2. This study shows that ferrate (VI) is a promising treatment tool for low-cost phosphate wastewater. Furthermore, this method offers a clean phosphorus recovery process without the generation of harmful substances.

Iron-doped carbon nanotubes with magnetic enhanced Fe(VI) degradation of arsanilic acid and inorganic arsenic: Role of intermediate iron species and electron transfer. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 244:117849. [PMID: 38061591 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117849] [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: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
Arsanilic acid (p-AsA), a prevalently used feed additive, is frequently detected in environment posing a great threat to humans. Potassium ferrate (Fe(VI)) was an efficient way to tackle arsenic contamination under acid and neutral conditions. However, Fe(VI) showed a noneffective removal of p-AsA under alkaline conditions due to its oxidation capacity attenuation. Herein, a magnetic iron-doped carbon nanotubes (F-CNT) was successfully prepared and further catalyzed Fe(VI) to remove p-AsA and total As species. The Fe(VI)/F-CNT system showed an excellent capability to oxidize p-AsA and adsorb total As species over an environment-related pH range of 6-9. The high-valent iron intermediates Fe(V)/Fe(IV) and the mediated electron-transfer played a significant part in the degradation of p-AsA according to the probes/scavengers experiments and galvanic oxidation process. Moreover, the situ formed iron hydroxide oxide and F-CNT significantly improved the adsorption capacity for total As species. The electron-donating groups (semiquinone and hydroquinone) and high graphitization of F-CNT were responsible for activating Fe(VI) based on the analysis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Density functional theory calculations and the detected degradation products both indicated that the amino group and the C-As bond of p-AsA were main reactive sites. Notably, Fe(VI)/F-CNT system was resistant to the interference from Cl-, SO42-, and HCO3-, and could effectively remove p-AsA and total As species even in the presence of complex water matrix. In summary, this work proposed an efficient method to use Fe(VI) for degrading pollutants under alkaline conditions and explore a new technology for livestock wastewater advanced treatment.

Abstract
Selenium is an indispensable trace element for humans and other organisms; however, excessive selenium in water can jeopardize the aquatic environment. Investigations on the biogeochemical cycle of selenium have shown that anthropogenic activities such as mining, refinery, and coal combustion mainly contribute to aquatic selenium pollution, imposing tremendous risks on ecosystems and human beings. Various technologies thus have been developed recently to treat selenium contaminated water to reduce its environmental impacts. This work provides a critical review on the applications, characteristics, and latest developments of current treatment technologies for selenium polluted water. It first outlines the present status of the characteristics, sources, and toxicity of selenium in water. Selenium treatment technologies are then classified into three categories: 1) physicochemical separation including membrane filtration, adsorption, coagulation/precipitation, 2) redox decontamination including chemical reduction and catalysis, and 3) biological transformation including microbial treatment and constructed wetland. Details of these methods including their overall efficiencies, applicability, advantages and drawbacks, and latest developments are systematically analyzed and compared. Although all these methods are promising in treating selenium in water, further studies are still needed to develop sustainable strategies based on existing and new technologies. Perspectives on future research directions are laid out at the end.

WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2022; 94:e10713. [PMID: 35470523 DOI: 10.1002/wer.10713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Revised: 02/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Removal of selenite (Se (IV)) from wastewater is vital due to its more toxic and mobile properties. In this study, a novel dendritic silver-dendrites@ copper with hierarchical side-branches were synthesized through a two-pot rapid, facile, and green precipitation route. Characterization of the dendrites by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) confirmed the proper preparation of dendritic AgCu nanostructure. Significantly, the Ag@Cu nanostructure has high specific surface area (150 m2/g) and excellent adsorption activity toward selenite. The adsorption rate of Se (IV) on the dendritic AgCu reaches 94% within 60 min under normal adsorption procedures. Both adsorption kinetics and isotherms have been described well by the pesudo-second order model and Langmuir model, respectively. The noticeable high adsorption capabilities can mainly accredit to the effect of the hierarchical side-branched structure. Therefore, the dendritic AgCu nanostructure has a room of treating heavy metals-contaminated industrial wastewater streams. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Silver-dendrites@ copper with hierarchical side-branches were synthesized through a rapid and green precipitation route using copper nanoparticles. The prepared nanostructure was applied for Se (IV) adsorption at varying operational conditions (contact time, pH, and dose). High adsorption capacity for Se (IV) up to 173.1 mg/g was achieved using the prepared nanoparticles applying Langmuir isotherm model.

Abstract
To efficiently treat hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) wastewater, K2FeO4 was used to remove and reduce Cr(VI) in presence of Mn(II) in this paper. Batch removal experiments were carried out to study the effect of Fe/Mn molar ratios, initial pH, in-situ and ex-situ and co-existing ions on Cr(VI) removal. The results showed the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) was 97.7% for the initial Cr(VI) concentration of 10.0 mg/L at Fe/Mn molar ratio of 2:3 and initial pH 8.0. Meanwhile, the high removal efficiency of Cr(VI) had been maintained throughout the pH range of 3.0-8.0 in the experimental study. Moreover, the removal process was relatively stable regardless of in-situ and ex-situ, and co-existing ions such as Ca2+ and low concentration of HCO3- had no intense effect on Cr(VI) removal, while SO42- inhibited Cr(VI) removal in the reaction system. To investigate the removal mechanism of Cr(VI) by K2FeO4 in presence of Mn(II), the reaction products were characterized by the Fourier transformed infrared spectrometer, X-ray powder diffraction, Transmission electron microscopy and the high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicated the ferrate decomposition products of γ-FeOOH/γ-Fe2O3 had the ability to adsorb Cr(VI) and react with Mn(II) to form γ-Fe2O3-Mn(II) complex to adsorb and reduce Cr(VI).

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 293:118552.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is regarded as a trace element for humans, but it is toxic in excess. In natural environments, the mobility of Se is dominantly controlled by the Se oxyanions with high solubility such as selenite (Se(IV)). Se(IV) is often associated with the omnipresent ferrihydrite and coexisting organic matter. However, there is little information on the dynamic interactions among Se(IV), fulvic acid, and ferrihydrite. This study investigated the influence of fulvic acid on ferrihydrite-Se(IV) coprecipitates (Fh-Se) transformation for 8 days and the subsequent behavior of Se(IV) at varied pH (5.0, 7.5, and 10.0). Results showed that fulvic acid had different effects on Fh-Se transformation at varied pH values. Fh-Se transformation was promoted by fulvic acid at initial pH 5.0 whereas it was inhibited at initial pH 10.0. Interestingly, at initial pH 7.5, Fh-Se transformation was promoted at a low C/Fe ratio while it was suppressed at a high C/Fe ratio. Besides, fulvic acid induced the generation of more extractable Se(IV) at initial pH 5.0 and more coprecipitated Se(IV) at initial pH 7.5 and blocked the release of Se(IV) at initial pH 10.0. Fulvic acid possibly interacted with Se(IV) via carboxyl complexation and weakened the inhibition of Se(IV) on Fh-Se transformation. Thus, fulvic acid increased the transformation rate of Fh-Se. These findings help to uncover the environmental behavior of Se(IV) and organic matter during ferrihydrite transformation.

Abstract
This study demonstrated that As(III) was appreciably removed by ferrate in the presence of straw biochar. Removal efficiency of As in ferrate/biochar system was over 91%, increased by 34% compared with ferrate alone ([biochar]0 = 10 mg/L, [ferrate]0 = 6 mg/L, [As(III)]0 = 200 μg/L). In the reaction process, As(III) was oxidized to As(V) mainly by ferrate, while ferrate was reduced into ferric (hydr)oxides and coated on the biochar. Biochar was oxidized in the reaction and its surface area, pore volume and the amount of Lewis acid functional groups were substantially improved, which provided interaction sites for As adsorption. Analysis of hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential revealed that biochar interacted with the ferrate resulted ferric oxides and enlarged the Fe-C-As particle/floc, which promoted their settlement and thus the liquid-solid separation of As. As(V) was adsorbed on the surface of biochar and ferric (hydr)oxides through hydrogen bond, electrostatic attraction and As-(OFe) bond. Ferrate/biochar was not only effective for As removal, but removed 73.31% of As, 50.38% of Cd, and 75.27% of Tl when these hazardous species synchronously existed in polluted water (initial content: As, 100 μg/L; Cd, 50 μg/L; Tl, 1 μg/L). The combination of ferrate with biochar has potential for the remediation of hazardous species polluted water.

Ferrate self-decomposition in water is also a self-activation process: Role of Fe(V) species and enhancement with Fe(III) in methyl phenyl sulfoxide oxidation by excess ferrate. WATER RESEARCH 2021; 197:117094. [PMID: 33836297 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2021.117094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2020] [Revised: 03/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
To reveal the role of ferrate self-decomposition and the fates of intermediate iron species [Fe(V)/Fe(IV) species] during ferrate oxidation, the reaction between ferrate and methyl phenyl sulfoxide (PMSO) at pH 7.0 was investigated as a model system in this study. Interestingly, the apparent second-order rate constants (kapp) between ferrate and PMSO was found to increase with ferrate dosage in the condition of excess ferrate in borate buffer. This ferrate dosage effect was diminished greatly in the condition of excess PMSO where ferrate self-decomposition was lessened largely, or counterbalanced by adding a strong complexing ligand (e.g. pyrophosphate) to sequester Fe(V) oxidation, demonstrating that the Fe(V) species derived from ferrate self-decomposition plays an important role in PMSO oxidation. A mechanistic kinetics model involving the ferrate self-decomposition and PMSO oxidation by Fe(VI), Fe(V) and Fe(IV) species was then developed and validated. The modeling results show that up to 99% of the PMSO oxidation was contributed by the ferrate self-decomposition resultant Fe(V) species in borate buffer, revealing that ferrate self-decomposition is also a self-activation process. The direct Fe(VI) oxidation of PMSO was impervious to presence of phosphate or Fe(III), while the Fe(V) oxidation pathway was strongly inhibited by phosphate complexation or enhanced with Fe(III). Similar ferrate dosage effect and its counterbalance by pyrophosphate as well as the Fe(III) enhancement were also observed in ferrate oxidation of micropollutants like carbamazepine, diclofenac and sulfamethoxazole, implying the general role of Fe(V) and promising Fe(III) enhancement during ferrate oxidation of micropollutants.
