JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 474:134852. [PMID: 38852250 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134852] [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: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PPCPs), and endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) have seen a recent sustained increase in usage, leading to increasing discharge and accumulation in wastewater. Conventional water treatment and disinfection processes are somewhat limited in effectively addressing this micropollutant issue. Ultrasonication (US), which serves as an advanced oxidation process, is based on the principle of ultrasound irradiation, exposing water to high-frequency waves, inducing thermal decomposition of H2O while using the produced radicals to oxidize and break down dissolved contaminants. This review evaluates research over the past five years on US-based technologies for the effective degradation of EDCs and PPCPs in water and assesses various factors that can influence the removal rate: solution pH, temperature of water, presence of background common ions, natural organic matter, species that serve as promoters and scavengers, and variations in US conditions (e.g., frequency, power density, and reaction type). This review also discusses various types of carbon/non-carbon catalysts, O3 and ultraviolet processes that can further enhance the degradation efficiency of EDCs and PPCPs in combination with US processes. Furthermore, numerous types of EDCs and PPCPs and recent research trends for these organic contaminants are considered.

High-performance bismuth vanadate photoanodes cocatalyzed with nitrogen, sulphur co-doped ferrocobalt-metal organic frameworks thin layer for photoelectrochemical water splitting. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 659:676-686. [PMID: 38211485 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.01.049] [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: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we prepare a highly efficient BiVO4 photoanode co-catalyzed with an ultrathin layer of N, S co-doped FeCo-Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for photoelectrochemical water splitting. The introduction of N and S into FeCo-MOFs enhances electron and mass transfer, exposing more catalytic active sites and significantly improving the catalytic performance of N, S co-doped FeCo-based MOFs in water oxidation. The optimized BiVO4/NS-FeCo-MOFs photoanode exhibits impressive results, with a photocurrent density of 5.23 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V vs. Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE) and an incident photon-to-charge conversion efficiency (IPCE) of 74.4 % at 450 nm in a 0.1 M phosphate buffered solution (pH = 7). These values are 4.84 times and 6.2 times higher than those of the original BiVO4 photoanode, respectively. Furthermore, the optimized BiVO4/NS-FeCo-MOFs photoanode demonstrates exceptional long-term stability, maintaining 96 % of the initial current after five hours.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 313:115025.

Abstract
A novel pretreatment technique (i.e., using Sodium percarbonate, SPC) to improve the short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) production waste activated sludge (WAS) was proposed in this study. Results indicated that the maximum SCFA production of 1605.7 mg COD/L and acetic acid of 52.9% were attained at 0.2 g SPC/g TSS, being 8.4 and 2.8 times of the control (191.3 mg COD/L and 19%), respectively. Meanwhile, the optimal time for SCFA accumulation was decreased from 6d (control) to 4d (0.2 g/g TSS). Mechanism explorations unraveled that SPC largely accelerated WAS solubilization and enhanced the bioavailability of organics released from WAS. It improved enzymatic activities related to hydrolysis and acidogenesis, while suppressed the Coenzyme F420 responsible for SCFA consumption. Illumina MiSeq sequencing analysis showed that SPC substantially enhanced the relative abundances of hydrolytic and/or acid-forming microbes. Furthermore, CO3- and O2- were the key factors to production enhancement in SPC-involved sludge fermentation.

Understanding the effects of mineral water matrix on degradation of several pharmaceuticals by ultrasound: Influence of chemical structure and concentration of the pollutants. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2021; 73:105500. [PMID: 33689978 PMCID: PMC7941152 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2021.105500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2020] [Revised: 02/05/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
Degradation of seven relevant pharmaceuticals with different chemical structures and properties: acetaminophen (ACE), cloxacillin (CXL), diclofenac (DCF), naproxen (NPX), piroxicam (PXC), sulfacetamide (SAM) and cefadroxil (CDX), in distilled water and mineral water by ultrasound was studied herein. Firstly, proper conditions of frequency and acoustic power were determined based on the degradation ability of the system and the accumulation of sonogenerated hydrogen peroxide (24.4 W and 375 kHz were found as the suitable conditions for the sonochemical treatment of the pharmaceuticals). Under such conditions, the pharmaceuticals degradation order in distilled water was: PXC > DCF ~ NPX > CXL > ACE > SAM > CDX. In fact, the initial degradation rate showed a good correlation with the Log P parameter, most hydrophobic compounds were eliminated faster than the hydrophilic ones. Interestingly, in mineral water, the degradation of those hydrophilic compounds (i.e., ACE, SAM and CDX) was accelerated, which was attributed to the presence of bicarbonate ions. Afterwards, mineral water containing six different initial concentrations (i.e., 0.331, 0.662, 3.31, 16.55, 33.1, and 331 µM) of selected pharmaceuticals was sonicated, the lowest concentration (0.331 µM) always gave the highest degradation of the pollutants. This result highlights the great ability of the sonochemical process to treat bicarbonate-rich waters containing pollutants at trace levels, as pharmaceuticals. Finally, the addition of ferrous ions to the sonochemical system to generate a sono-Fenton process resulted in an acceleration of degradation in distilled water but not in mineral water. This was attributed to the scavenging of sonogenerated HO• by bicarbonate anion, which decreases H2O2 accumulation, thus limiting the Fenton reaction.

Abstract
Microbial electrosynthesis system (MES) has recently been shown to be a promising alternative way for realizing in situ and energy-saving synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Although promising, the scaling-up feasibility of such a process is rarely reported. In this study, a 20-L up-scaled two-chamber MES reactor was developed and investigated for in situ and efficient H2O2 electrosynthesis. Maximum H2O2 production rate of 10.82 mg L−1 h−1 and cumulative H2O2 concentration of 454.44 mg L−1 within 42 h were obtained with an input voltage of 0.6 V, cathodic aeration velocity of 0.045 mL min−1 mL−1, 50 mM Na2SO4, and initial pH 3. The electrical energy consumption regarding direct input voltage was only 0.239 kWh kg−1 H2O2, which was further much lower compared with laboratory-scale systems. The obtained results suggested that the future industrialization of MES technology for in situ synthesis of H2O2 and further application in environmental remediation have broad prospects. Up-scaled microbial electrosynthesis with multiple electrodes to synthesize H2O2 The H2O2 yield was higher than that of laboratory-scale systems using graphite cathode Energy consumption was lower than that of laboratory-scale (bio)electrochemical systems Systematic evaluation of the influence of operating parameters on H2O2 production
