Abstract
Because of the recent widespread usage of antibiotics, the acquisition and dissemination of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) were prevalent in the majority of habitats. Generally, the biological wastewater treatment processes used in wastewater treatment plants have a limited efficiencies of antibiotics resistant bacteria (ARB) disinfection and ARGs degradation and even promote the proliferation of ARGs. Problematically, ARB and ARGs in effluent pose potential risks if they are not further treated. Photocatalytic oxidation is considered a promising disinfection technology, where the photocatalytic process generates many free radicals that enhance the interaction between light and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for ARB elimination and subsequent degradation of ARGs. This review aims to illustrate the progress of photocatalytic oxidation technology for removing antibiotics resistant (AR) from wastewater in recent years. We discuss the sources and transfer of ARGs in wastewater. The overall removal efficiencies of ultraviolet radiation (UV)/chlorination, UV/ozone, UV/H2O2, and UV/sulfate-radical based system for ARB and ARGs, as well as the experimental parameters and removal mechanisms, are systematically discussed. The contribution of photocatalytic materials based on TiO2 and g-C3N4 to the inactivation of ARB and degradation of ARGs is highlighted, producing many free radicals to attack ARB and ARGs while effectively limiting the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in wastewater. Finally, based on the reviewed studies, future research directions are proposed to realize specific photocatalytic oxidation technology applications and overcome current challenges.

Degradation and detoxification of 6PPD-quinone in water by ultraviolet-activated peroxymonosulfate: Mechanisms, byproducts, and impact on sediment microbial community. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 263:122210.

Abstract
N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine quinone (6PPD-Q) has been identified to induce acute toxicity to multifarious aquatic organisms at exceptionally low concentrations. The ubiquity and harmful effects of 6PPD-Q emphasize the critical need for its degradation from water ecosystems. Herein, we explored the transformation of 6PPD-Q by an ultraviolet-activated peroxymonosulfate (UV/PMS) system, focusing on mechanism, products and toxicity variation. Results showed that complete degradation of 6PPD-Q was achieved when the initial ratio of PMS and 6PPD-Q was 60:1. The quenching experiments and EPR tests indicated that SO4•- and •OH radicals were primarily responsible for 6PPD-Q removal. Twenty-one degradation products were determined through high-resolution orbitrap mass spectrometry, and it was postulated that hydroxylation, oxidative cleavage, quinone decomposition, ring oxidation, as well as rearrangement and deamination were the major transformation pathways of 6PPD-Q. Toxicity prediction revealed that all identified products exhibited lower acute and chronic toxicities to fish, daphnid and green algae compared to 6PPD-Q. Exposure experiments also uncovered that 6PPD-Q considerably reduced the community diversity and altered the community assembly and functional traits of the sediment microbiome. However, we discovered that the toxicity of 6PPD-Q degradation solutions was effectively decreased, suggesting the superior detoxifying capability of the UV/PMS system for 6PPD-Q. These findings highlight the underlying detrimental impacts of 6PPD-Q on aquatic ecosystems and enrich our understanding of the photochemical oxidation behavior of 6PPD-Q.

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.

Developing Prussian blue/wood-derived biochar catalyst for persistent organic pollutant degradation: Preparation, characterization, and mechanism. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 351:141150.

Abstract
Biomass-derived biochar shows broad promise for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) degradation and thus establishes a more sustainable homestead. However, effective catalytic performance is still challenging. Herein, an efficient catalyst (Prussian blue decorated wood-derived biochar, PBB) was constructed by introducing Prussian blue (PB) into wood-based biochar to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for removing POPs. After anchoring of PB, the degradation performance of biochar was enhanced (degradation efficiency of methylene blue (MB, 20 mg/L) increased from 52% of biochar to 95% of PBB within 60 min). The PBB presents effective MB degradation performance with a wide pH value (3.0 < pH < 11.0) or co-existing diverse anions (Cl-, NO3-, H2PO4-, and HCO3-). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis as well as electrochemical tests confirmed that the non-radical pathway (1O2) is the key to biochar activation of PMS, but by restricting PB into the biochar, the radical pathway (SO4•- and •OH), the non-radical pathway (1O2), and direct electron transfer can work together to activate PMS. In addition, the degradation efficiency could remain about 80% after five-time cyclic tests. This work elucidates the role of PB nanoparticles in enhancing biochar catalysts, which can inspire the development of a carbon-neutralized, cost-effective, and effective strategy for POPs removal.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 340:122807.

Abstract
Animal-derived biochar are identified as a promising candidate for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation due to the abundant aromatics and oxygen-containing functional groups. The current investigation focuses on pig carcass-derived biochar (800-BA-PBC) by ball milling-assisted alkali activation. The results showed that 800-BA-PBC could effectively activate PMS and degraded 94.2% sulfamethoxazole (SMX, 10 mg/L) within 40 min. The reaction rate constant was found to be 47 times higher than that observed with PBC. The enhanced catalytic activity is mainly attributed to the increase in specific surface area, the increase content of oxygen-containing groups on the surface, and the formation of graphitic nitrogen. The quenching tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis demonstrated that 1O2 is the main active species in the degradation of SMX. Moreover, the 800-BA-PBC + PMS system can maintain excellent degradation rate under different water quality, wide pH range, and the presence of different anions. The degradation pathways of SMX in the optimal system are also evaluated through intermediate identification and DFT calculation. These results indicate that the catalytic system has high anti-interference ability and practical application potential. This investigation provides new insight into the rational design of animal-derived biochar and develops a low-cost technology for the treatment of antibiotic containing wastewater.

Abstract
Various activated persulfate (PS) technologies have been investigated and implemented to eliminate antibiotic contaminants from water. The investigation and evaluation of different activation systems are essential for the application of PS techniques. The degradation of amoxicillin (AMX) by heat, light, or heterogeneous catalyst of Fe-AC composite activated PS was investigated, and the kinetics, mechanisms and toxicities were compared in this work. The apparent activation energy of the Fe-AC system was lower than that of the heat system. Hydroxyl and sulfate radicals were demonstrated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and quenching tests. There were 22, 21 and 13 types of degradation intermediates detected in heat, light and Fe-AC system, respectively. Six pathways of AMX degradation were proposed and compared in the three activated PS systems. The toxicity prediction of degradation intermediates under different treatment processes was estimated by ecological structure-activity relationship model and toxicity estimation software tool. The genotoxicity of the AMX degradation solution was tested by Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1_recA, which indicated that the AMX solution after treatment in the Fe-AC system had almost no genotoxicity. The Fe-AC/PS system shows apparent advantages over the heat or light activated PS system in most cases, demonstrating that the Fe-AC/PS system is suitable for AMX-contaminated remediation in aqueous solution.

Abstract
LED-UV265/chlorine is a promising alternative disinfection technology that emits mono-wavelength light for high germicidal efficiency. Halonitromethanes (HNMs) are highly cytotoxic and genotoxic disinfection byproducts that can be formed during LED-UV265/chlorine disinfection. Thus, this work aimed to investigate the HNMs formation from glycine (Gly) during LED-UV265/chlorine disinfection. The results indicated that the concentrations of chlorinated-HNMs (Cl-HNMs) increased first and then decreased as the reaction proceeded. Besides, the effects of operating parameters (UV intensity, free chlorine dosage, and pH) and coexisting ions (Cu2+ and Br-) on HNMs formation were investigated. It was found that the formation concentrations of Cl-HNMs increased with the increase of LED-UV265 intensity and free chlorine dosage but decreased with increased pH. The presence of Cu2+ promoted the formation of Cl-HNMs. The total concentration of HNMs (at 3 min) with adding 1.5 mg/L Cu2+ was 30.90% higher than that without Cu2+. Notably, nine species of HNMs were detected after adding Br-, and the total concentrations of HNMs were enhanced. Moreover, Cl-HNMs were gradually transformed into brominated (chlorinated)-HNMs and brominated-HNMs as Br- concentration increased. According to the findings, the possible formation mechanism of HNMs from Gly during LED-UV265/chlorine disinfection was deduced. Finally, it was demonstrated that the formation laws of HNMs from Gly in real water samples were basically consistent with those in simulated water. Insights obtained in this study help to comprehend the HNMs formation from Gly and provide strategies for controlling the production of HNMs during LED-UV265/chlorine disinfection.

Abstract
Byproduct formation (chlorate, bromate, organic halogen, etc.) during sulfate radical (SO4•-)-based processes like ultraviolet/peroxymonosulfate (UV/PMS) has aroused widespread concern. However, hypohalous acid (HOCl and HOBr) can form via two-electron transfer directly from PMS, thus leading to the formation of organic halogenated byproducts as well. This study found both PMS alone and UV/PMS can increase the toxicity to mammalian cells of wastewater, while the UV/H2O2 decreased the toxicity. Cytotoxicity of two wastewater samples increased from 5.6-8.3 to 15.7-29.9 mg-phenol/L, and genotoxicity increased from 2.8-3.1 to 5.8-12.8 μg 4-NQO/L after PMS treatment because of organic halogen formation. Organic halogen formation from bromide rather than chloride was found to dominate the toxicity increase. The SO4•--based process UV/PMS led to the formation of both organic halogen and inorganic bromate and chlorate. However, because of the very low concentration (<20 μg/L) and relatively low toxicity of bromate and chlorate, contributions of inorganic byproducts to toxicity increase were negligible. PMS would not form chlorate and bromate, but it generated a higher concentration of total organic halogen, thus leading to a more toxic treated wastewater than UV/PMS. UV/PMS formed less organic halogen and toxicity because of the destruction of byproducts by UV irradiation and the removal of byproduct precursors. Currently, many studies focused on the byproducts bromate and chlorate during SO4•--based oxidation processes. This work revealed that the oxidant PMS even needs more attention because it caused higher toxicity due to more organic halogen formation.

Novel ZnS-Cu7S4 nanohybrid supported on chitosan matrix, as an ideal photocatalyst, was fabricated by the sonochemical method wherein high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the co-existence of both ZnS and Cu7S4; presence of vacancy sites in ZnS was verified by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis and their introduction could promote two-photon excitation facilitated visible light response and charge transport/separation. The type II interface is formed in the ZnS-Cu7S4/Chitosan heterojunction owing to interstitial states that promote charge separation. The ZnS-Cu7S4/Chitosan was used for the photodegradation of a pharmaceutical pollutant, p-chlorophenol (PCP); over 98.8% of PCP photodegradation was achieved under visible-light irradiation where the ensued ·O2- and ·OH serve a key role in the photodegradation of PCP. In vitro cytotoxicity studies substantiated that the ZnS-Cu7S4/Chitosan is nontoxic to the ecosystem and human beings and endowed with promising photodegradation properties and accessibility via an environmentally friendly design, bodes well for its potential remediation applications.

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.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 850:157963. [PMID: 35952871 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Revised: 08/06/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Electro-oxidation (EO) has received increasing attention as an efficient and green method for removing pollutants from wastewater. Chloride anions (Cl-), which commonly exist in wastewater, can act as an electrolyte for the EO process. However, the role of reactive chlorine species (RCS) generated near electrodes is often underestimated. In this study, we generated hydroxyl radicals (OH) and RCS in a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode system and investigated its degradation mechanism for ofloxacin (OFX) removal. The findings suggested that OFX degradation was dominated by OH existing near the anode in solution, with RCS playing a supporting role. Based on the produced intermediates, we proposed an OFX decomposition pathway. The biological toxicities of the intermediates were evaluated through the ECOSAR and T.E.S.T. procedure. Nearly half of the intermediates are less toxic than the parent compound. After optimizing the operating parameters by the response surface methodology, 20 mg/L OFX was almost completely degraded after 10 min of reaction in 1.45 g/L NaCl with a current density (j) of 18 mA/cm2, and the total organic carbon was decreased by 30.55 %. The energy consumption and current efficiency were 0.648 kW·h/gTOC and 8.65 %, respectively. Comparing the operating costs of the proposed and other EO methods, our method emerged as a viable new treatment scheme for similar polluted wastewaters. This study aims to comprehensively understand the potential application value of BDD electrodes in the treatment of Cl- containing organic wastewater.

Abstract
As a widely produced and used antibiotic, tetracycline (TC) has been frequently found in rivers, soil and drinking water. In this study, the degradation of TC was investigated by UV/Fe3+/persulfate (PS) coupled process. The degradation behavior was well fitted with pseudo-first-order model. Hydroxyl radicals (·OH), sulfate radicals (SO4-·) and superoxide radical (O2-·) were identified as the primary reactive oxygen species (ROS) in UV/Fe3+/PS process, the contribution to TC degradation were found to be 41.94%, 33.94% and 17.44% at pH 3.0, respectively. Fe(IV) generated from the system also played a crucial role in TC removal. The effects of process parameters (PS/Fe3+ dosages, pH, humic acid, Cl-, HCO3-, NO3- and CO32-) on degradation were investigated. It was found that the degradation of TC was highly pH-dependent, and the optimal performance was obtained at pH 3.0. Except for Cl-, the presence of HA, HCO3-, NO3- and CO32- inhibited TC degradation. The possible transformation pathway involving the hydroxylation, N-demethylation, hydrogenation and dehydroxylation was proposed. Furthermore, the toxicity and mutagenicity of TC and transformation products (TPs) were estimated using ECOSAR and TEST softwares, demonstrating that the toxicity level of most TPs was lower/equal to their precursors. The evaluation of DBPs showed that UV/Fe3+/PS process could reduce the potential of DBPs formation, especially for TCAA and TCM. Microbial community composition was analyzed by 16 S rDNA sequencing, and the relative abundance of ARG-carrying opportunistic pathogens was significantly declined after UV/Fe3+/PS treatment. In general, this study provides an economical, efficient and safe strategy for TC removal.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:136149.

Abstract
Nowadays, developing environmentally friendly catalysts with both low cost and high efficiency was still a challenge in actual organic wastewater purification. Herein, the Fe-N-C catalyst was successfully immobilized on solid waste derived ceramsite for efficient degradation of phenol under continuous flow conditions by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS). After the introduction of ceramsite, the microstructure of Fe-N-C catalyst was changed from granular structure to worm-like structure, promoting the dispersion of the nanoscale catalyst and providing more reactive sites. Therefore, the phenol removal rate and mineralization rate of the obtained 0.5FNNC within 30 min were up to 96.79% and 71.79%, respectively. In addition, the degradation rate of the optimal composite (0.5FNNC)/PMS system was about 4.06 times higher than that of bare Fe-N-C/PMS system. Intriguingly, the Fe ion leaching from 0.5FNNC during the degradation reaction was significantly lower than bare Fe-N-C owing to the strong catalyst-support chemical bonding. Based on electron paramagnetic resonance, quenching experiments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and electrochemical analysis, it was indicated that the non-radical processes (1O2 and high valent iron-oxo species) should be responsible for the phenol degradation. Meanwhile, the possible phenol degradation pathways were proposed, and the intermediates were evaluated for ecotoxicity by ECOSAR. Finally, a preliminary economic analysis of this process was carried out. Overall, this work would provide a new strategy for the construction of ceramsite based multi-pore composite catalysts and the large-scale application of persulfate oxidation technology in organic wastewater treatment.

Abstract
N-doping is an effective way to modify biochar for enhancing the adsorption capacity. The synthesis of N-doped biochar by the ball-milling method has been attractive due to its facile and eco-friendly approach with low energy consumption. However, the commonly used N-precursor NH3·H2O is environmentally harmful. It is needed to prepare safe and non-toxic N-doped biochar for large-scale production. Here, a urea N-doped biochar (U-MBC) was prepared by the ball-milling method and used for norfloxacin (NOR) removal. The results showed that U-MBC exhibited almost 4-fold higher adsorption capacity for NOR than pristine biochar in a wide pH range (3-9). The adsorption enhancement was owing to the enhancement of H-bonds, π-π electron donor-acceptor, and pore-filling interactions due to the N-doping and ball-milling method. Additionally, 89% of adsorbed NOR can be further removed after 6 h milling. The regenerated U-MBC still had a good adsorption capacity (46.27 mg g-1) and performed well in three cycles. The knowledge gained from this study could encourage researchers to use urea or similar safe N-precursors with the ball-milling method for the large-scale production of N-doped biochar to remove antibiotic organic pollutants in the environment.

Abstract
Developing high-efficiency catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes is important for eliminating pollutants in water. Herein, α-MnO2 with major exposed {110} and {100} facets prepared via a hydrothermal method were used as catalysts to activate PMS for the degradation of Orange Ⅰ (OⅠ). α-MnO2-100, with more abundant surface hydroxyl groups and greater reductive ability, performed remarkably better than α-MnO2-110 for degrading OⅠ. OⅠ removal of 86.20% was obtained in the α-MnO2-100/PMS system. The apparent rate constant of OⅠ removal over α-MnO2-100 was 2.11 times higher than that of α-MnO2-110. The effects of PMS concentration, catalyst dosage, OⅠ concentration, initial pH, anions and humic acid (HA) on OⅠ degradation in the α-MnO2-100/PMS system were systematically investigated. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) demonstrated that SO4•-, •OH, O2•- and 1O2 were the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the α-MnO2-100/PMS system. Moreover, the possible degradation pathway of OⅠ in the α-MnO2-100/PMS system was proposed. This work provides an ideal metal oxide catalyst for sewage remediation.

Abstract
The kinetics of monopersulfate based systems in the elimination of potential harmful contaminants has been assessed from a theoretical point of view. A detailed reaction mechanism sustained in the generation of radicals (mainly hydroxyl and sulfate), propagation and termination stages has been proposed. The system of first order differential equations derived has numerically been solved. The effect of main influencing parameters such as contaminant and peroxymonosulfate initial concentrations, intermediate generation, presence of organic matter, role played by anions, has been theoretically obtained. Discussion of simulated results has been accomplished by comparison with experimental data found in the literature. At the sight of the theoretical and empirical data, use of simplistic pseudo first order kinetics is discouraged. Despite considering a significant number of elemental reactions, modelling of the system reveals that a high fraction of them can be neglected due to their insignificant role played in the mechanism. The entire mechanism has been tested when peroxymonosulfate has been activated by UV radiation, although results can be fairly extrapolated to other activation strategies. Finally, a generic model capable of accounting for the effect of a diversity of parameters is proposed. No theoretical background is behind the model, however the generic model clearly improves the results obtained by simple first order kinetics.

Abstract
Developing Fe-based catalysts with high-effective and environmentally friendly features in Fenton-like system for treating wastewater is still a challenge. Novel nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets with Fe0/Fe3C nano-particles (Fe@NCS-900) were prepared through a simple solvent-free strategy by pyrolyzing the mixture of 2,6-diaminopyridine and ferric chloride hexahydrate under 900 °C. The Fe@NCS-900 possessed almost 100% removal efficiency and 66.5% mineralization rate for the degradation of CBZ in 10 min. Moreover, the Fe@NCS-900 exhibited an apparent first-order constant as high as 0.8809 min-1, which is 22 and 29 times higher than that of the commercial Fe0 and traditional Fenton system, respectively, which could be attribute to the high graphitization degree and rich nitrogen content. Besides, the results of the radical quenching experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and the probe experiments demonstrated that a large number of high valent iron species (Fe (IV)) besides singlet oxygen (1O2) and superoxide radicals (O2•-) existed and contributed to the CBZ degradation. More interestingly, the addition of coexisting anion SO42- in the reaction system could significantly boost the concentration of •OH and SO4•- by 28.3 times and 9.7 times, respectively, resulting in the increase of the apparent first-order constant by 5.9 times (5.1733 min-1), which was entirely different from previous reports that SO42- had no effect on the catalytic activity or even displayed slightly inhibitory effect. In addition, the catalyst exhibited broad pH adaptability in the pH range of 2-9. The intermediate products of CBZ degradation were investigated by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and the degradation pathway was proposed. This paper provides new insights for developing a promising Fe-based nitrogen-doped catalyst for practical wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Haloacetaldehydes (HALs) are the third largest disinfection by-product (DBP) ubiquitously detected in finished drinking water and have relatively higher toxicity than currently regulated DBPs. To efficiently alleviate them, this study investigated a green, chemical-free technology by using ultraviolet/vacuum ultraviolet (UV/VUV) on degrading three refractory chlorinated HALs (Cl-HALs). The results indicate that the rates of Cl-HALs decomposition in tap water irradiated by UV/VUV were 23-70 times higher than those irradiated by UV, proving that VUV instead of UV played the key role in degrading Cl-HALs. Increasing Cl-HALs dosage, pH, and dissolved oxygen (DO) all decreased the Cl-HALs degradations significantly, and the rates in tap water were apparently lower than those in ultrapure water. Unlike previous studies, this study proved that both oxidation and reduction were present during the VUV process. Photooxidation via oxidative radicals like •OH mineralized Cl-HALs, leading to substantial drops of total organic carbon; photoreduction via reductive radicals like •H dehalogenated Cl-HALs, resulting in formation of considerable intermediate organics (e.g., formic acid and acetic acid). No matter what pathway, the mass balances of chlorine were always maintained, meaning that dehalogenation occurred instantaneously rather than sequentially. Although the overall photodegradation rates dropped with rising pH and DO, photoreduction was increased with rising pH while photooxidation was elevated with rising DO. The results hence provide insights to better understand the VUV technology in controlling micropollutants in water.

Application of sulfate radicals-based advanced oxidation technology in degradation of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs): Recent advances and prospects.

Abstract
The large amount of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) in wastewater has caused serious impacts on human health. In the past few years, Sulfate radical (SO4•-) based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) are widely recognized for their high removal rates of recalcitrant TrOCs from water. Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and persulfate (PS) are stable and non-toxic strong oxidizing oxidants and can act as excellent SO4•- precursors. Compared with hydroxyl radicals(·OH)-based methods, SR-AOPs have a series of advantages, such as long half-life and wide pH range, the oxidation capacity of SO4•- approaches or even exceeds that of ·OH under suitable conditions. In this review, we present the progress of activating PS/PMS to remove TrOCs by different methods. These methods include activation by transition metal, ultrasound, UV, etc. Possible activation mechanisms and influencing factors such as pH during the activation are discussed. Finally, future activation studies of PS/PMS are summarized and prospected. This review summarizes previous experiences and presents the current status of SR-AOPs application for TrOCs removal. Misconceptions in research are avoided and a research basis for the removal of TrOCs is provided.

Abstract
The common occurrence of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) originating from pathogenic and facultative pathogenic bacteria pose a high risk to aquatic environments. Low removal of ARGs in conventional wastewater treatment processes and horizontal dissemination of resistance genes between environmental bacteria and human pathogens have made antibiotic resistance evolution a complex global health issue. The phenomenon of regrowth of bacteria after disinfection raised some concerns regarding the long-lasting safety of treated waters. Despite the inactivation of living antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), the possibility of transferring intact and liberated DNA containing ARGs remains. A step in this direction would be to apply new types of disinfection methods addressing this issue in detail, such as light-based advanced oxidation, that potentially enhance the effect of direct light interaction with DNA. This study is devoted to comprehensively and critically review the current state-of-art for light-driven disinfection. The main focus of the article is to provide an insight into the different photochemical disinfection methods currently being studied worldwide with respect to ARGs removal as an alternative to conventional methods. The systematic comparison of UV/chlorination, UV/H2O2, sulfate radical based-AOPs, photocatalytic processes and photoFenton considering their mode of action on molecular level, operational parameters of the processes, and overall efficiency of removal of ARGs is presented. An in-depth discussion of different light-dependent inactivation pathways, influence of DBP and DOM on ARG removal and the potential bacterial regrowth after treatment is presented. Based on presented revision the risk of ARG transfer from reactivated bacteria has been evaluated, leading to a future direction for research addressing the challenges of light-based disinfection technologies.

Abstract
Solid waste resource utilization and the treatment of wastewater are two important aspects in environmental protection. Here, biochar (BC) derived from municipal sewage sludge has been combined with ZnFe2O4 to form the photocatalyst ZnFe2O4/biochar (ZnFe/BC), and it was used to degrade sulfadiazine (SDZ) in the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible (Vis) light irradiation in an internal loop-airlift reactor (ALR). The surface morphology and structure of ZnFe/BC have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy equipped with an attachment for energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). ZnFe/BC displays outstanding photocatalytic performance and reusability. After four reuse cycles of ZnFe/BC in the Vis/ZnFe/BC/PMS system, the SDZ degradation rate and efficiency still reached 0.082 min−1 and 99.05%, respectively. Reactive species in this system included free radicals SO4˙−, ˙OH, and ˙O2−, as well as non-radicals 1O2, e−, and h+, as established from the results of chemical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analyses. Moreover, a mechanism of action of the Vis/ZnFe/BC/PMS system for SDZ degradation was proposed. The acute toxicity of the reaction solution towards Photobacterium phosphoreum T3 spp. in the Vis/ZnFe/BC/PMS process increased during the first 40 min and then decreased, illustrating that Vis/ZnFe/BC/PMS provided an effective and safe method for the removal of SDZ. Solid waste resource utilization and the treatment of wastewater are two important aspects in environmental protection.![]()
