J Environ Sci (China) 2025; 148:553-566. [PMID: 39095188 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2024.01.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
Organic matter (OM) derived from the decomposition of crop residues plays a key role as a sorbent for cadmium (Cd) immobilization. Few studies have explored the straw decomposition processes with the presence of minerals, and the effect of newly generated organo-mineral complexes on heavy metal adsorption. In this study, we investigated the variations in structure and composition during the rice straw decomposition with or without minerals (goethite and kaolinite), as well as the adsorption behavior and mechanisms by which straw decomposition affects Cd immobilization. The degree of humification of extracted straw organic matter was assessed using excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), while employing FTIR spectroscopy and XPS to characterize the adsorption mechanisms. The spectra analysis revealed the enrichment of highly aromatic and hydrophobic components, indicating that the degree of straw decomposition and humification were further intensified during incubation. Additionally, the existence of goethite (SG) accelerated the humification of OM. Sorption experiments revealed that the straw humification increased Cd adsorption capacity. Notably, SG exhibited significantly higher adsorption performance compared to the organic matter without minerals (RS) and the existence of kaolinite (SK). Further analysis using FT-IR spectroscopy and XPS verified that the primary mechanisms involved in Cd immobilization were complexion with -OH and -COOH, as well as the formation of Cd-π binds with aromatic C=C on the surface of solid OMs. These findings will facilitate understanding the interactions of the rice straw decomposing with soil minerals and its remediation effect on Cd-contaminated farmland.

Remediation of benzo[α]pyrene contaminated soil using iron naturally bearing in tropical soil: A new frontier in catalyst-free in soil remediation. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 364:143291.

Abstract
Nature iron is considered one of the promising catalysts in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) that are utilized for soil remediation from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, the existence of anions, cations, and organic matter in soils considered impurities that restricted the utilization of iron that was harnessed naturally in the soil matrix and reduced the catalytic performance. In this regard, tropical soil naturally containing iron and relatively poor with impurities was artificially contaminated with 100 mg/50 g benzo[α]pyrene (B[α]P) and remediated using a slurry phase reactor supported with persulfate (PS). The results indicated that tropical soil containing iron and relatively poor with impurities capable of activating the oxidants and formation of radicals which successfully degraded B[α]P. The optimum removal result was 86% and obtained under the following conditions airflow = 260 mL/min, temperature 55 °C, pH 7, and [PS]0 = 1.0 g/L, at the same experimental conditions soil organic matter (SOM) mineralization was 48%. After the remediation process, there was a significant reduction in iron and aluminum contents, which considered the drawbacks of this system. Experiments to scavenge reactive species highlighted O2•- and SO4•- as the main radicals that oxidized B[α]P. Additionally, monitoring of by-products post-remediation aimed to assess toxicity and elucidate degradation pathways. Mutagenicity tests yielded positive results for two B[α]P by-products. The toxicity tests considered were the lethal concentration of 50% (LC50 96 h) for fat-head minnows revealed that all B[α]P by-products were less toxic than the parent pollutant itself. This research marks a significant advancement in soil remediation by advancing the use of the AOP method, removing the requirement for additional catalysts in the AOP system for the removal of B[α]P from soil.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) stood out as an efficient alternative for the treatment of organic contaminants. In this work, there were proposed syntheses of mixed catalysts of pyrite and graphene oxide and pyrite and zinc oxide to treat a mixture of the drugs atenolol and propranolol in aqueous solution through the photo-Fenton process with ultraviolet radiation. The efficiency of the methodologies used in the syntheses was confirmed through different characterization analyses. It was verified that the pyrite and zinc oxide catalyst led to the best contaminant degradation percentages with values equal to 88 and 84% for the groups monitored at the wavelengths (λ) of 217 and 281 nm. The degradation kinetics presented a good fit to the kinetic model proposed by Chan and Chu (2003) with R2 equal to 0.99, indicating a pseudo-first-order degradation profile. Finally, toxicity tests were carried out with two types of seeds, watercress and cabbage, for the solution before and after treatment. The cabbage seeds showed a reduction in germination percentages for the samples after treatments, while no toxicity was observed for watercress ones. This highlights the importance of evaluating the implications caused by products in relation to different organisms representing the biota.

Abstract
The presence of impurities is a significant restriction to the use of natural iron minerals as catalysts in the advanced oxidation process (AOP), especially if applied for soil remediation. This study evaluated the catalytic activity of tropical soil, which has relatively low impurities and naturally contains iron, for the remediation of phenanthrene (PHE) contamination. The system showed good performance, and the best result was 81% PHE removal after 24 h under experimental conditions of pH 7, [PHE]0 = 300 mg/50 g soil, temperature 55 °C, air flow = 260 mL min-1, and [persulfate]0 = 20 mg kg-1, while the mineralization was 61%. Nevertheless, certain limitations were noted in the soil matrix following the remediation procedure, including the appearance of cracks in the soil aggregate, reduction in the crystal size of the soil particles, and decline in the iron and aluminium contents. The results confirmed that the radicals play a major role in the remediation process. SO4˙- was more dominant than O2˙-, while HO˙ played a minor role. Additionally, the by-products were detected by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), and the degradation pathway of PHE is proposed. Toxicity assessment tests were performed by using a computational method. In spite of the challenges, this research achieved notable progress in soil remediation, taking a significant step forward in implementing the AOP without catalysts to activate oxidants and remove PHE within the soil. Also, this approach supports sustainability by reducing the need for extra materials and providing an environmentally friendly way of soil remediation.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 926:172025. [PMID: 38554954 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
Adsorption, which is a quick and effective method for phosphate management, can effectively address the crisis of phosphorus mineral resources and control eutrophication. Phosphate management systems typically use iron-containing nanominerals (ICNs) with large surface areas and high activity, as well as modified ICNs (mICNs). This paper comprehensively reviews phosphate management by ICNs and mICNs in different water environments. mICNs have a higher affinity for phosphates than ICNs. Phosphate adsorption on ICNs and mICNs occurs through mechanisms such as surface complexation, surface precipitation, electrostatic ligand exchange, and electrostatic attraction. Ionic strength influences phosphate adsorption by changing the surface potential and isoelectric point of ICNs and mICNs. Anions exhibit inhibitory effects on ICNs and mICNs in phosphate adsorption, while cations display a promoting effect. More importantly, high concentrations and molecular weights of natural organic matter can inhibit phosphate adsorption by ICNs and mICNs. Sodium hydroxide has high regeneration capability for ICNs and mICNs. Compared to ICNs with high crystallinity, those with low crystallinity are less likely to desorb. ICNs and mICNs can effectively manage municipal wastewater, eutrophic seawater, and eutrophic lakes. Adsorption of ICNs and mICNs saturated with phosphate can be used as fertilizers in agricultural production. Notably, mICNs and ICNs have positive and negative effects on microorganisms and aquatic organisms in soil. Finally, this study introduces the following: trends and prospects of machine learning-guided mICN design, novel methods for modified ICNs, mICN regeneration, development of mICNs with high adsorption capacity and selectivity for phosphate, investigation of competing ions in different water environments by mICNs, and trends and prospects of in-depth research on the adsorption mechanism of phosphate by weakly crystalline ferrihydrite. This comprehensive review can provide novel insights into the research on high-performance mICNs for phosphate management in the future.

Abstract
A dye-sensitized photocatalysis system was developed for degrading persistent organic contaminants using solid waste (i.e., red mud, RM) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light. Complete degradation of acid orange 7 (AO7) was achieved in RM suspension with PMS, where the co-existence of amorphous FeO(OH)/α-Fe2O3 was the key factor for PMS activation. The experimental results obtained from photochemical and electrochemical observations confirmed the enhanced PMS activation due to the Fe-OH phase in RM. DFT calculations verified the acceleration of PMS activation due to the high adsorption energy of PMS on FeO(OH) and low energy barrier for generating reactive radicals. Compared to the control experiment without AO7 showing almost no degradation of other organic contaminants (phenol, bisphenol A, 4-chlorophenol, 4-nitrophenol, and benzoic acid), photo-sensitized AO7* enhanced electron transfer in the FeIII/FeII cycle, dramatically enhancing the degradation of organic contaminants via radical (•OH, SO4•-, and O2•-) and non-radical (dye*+ and 1O2) pathways. Therefore, the novel finding of this study can provide new insights for unique PMS activation by heterogeneous Fe(III) containing solid wastes and highlight the importance of sensitized dye on the interaction of PMS with Fe charge carrier for the photo-oxidation of organic contaminants under visible light.

Abstract
A lab-scale reactor with a fixed-bed hematite catalyst for the effective decomposition of H2O2 and bacteria inactivation was designed. The bactericidal effect is the largest at a low initial bacterial count of 2·103 CFU/L, which is typical for natural surface waters. When using a 5 mM H2O2 solution and a residence time of 104 min, the reduction in the number of E. coli bacteria is about 3.5-log. At a higher initial bacterial count of 1-2·104 CFU/L, a 5 mM H2O2 solution reduces the bacteria number by about 4-log. The H2O2 decomposition follows the log-linear kinetics of a first-order reaction while the bacterial inactivation does not. The kinetics of bacterial inactivation was described using the Weibull model in the modified form: log10(N0/N) = b · tn. The values of the non-linearity parameter n were found to be lower than 1, indicating that bacterial inactivation slows down over time. With increasing initial H2O2 concentration, the rate parameter b increases while the non-linearity parameter n decreases. With increasing temperature, both parameters increase. The stability of the catalyst has been proved by XRD, FTIR, SEM, and ICP-OES. The concentration of iron leaching into water during disinfection is much lower than the limit declared by WHO for iron in drinking water. The results show that technical-grade hematite is a promising Fenton-like catalyst for water disinfection. The fixed-bed reactor can be the basis of the mobile installations for water purification in emergencies.

Abstract
Pyrogenic carbon and magnetite (Fe3O4) were mixed together for the activation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), aiming to enhance the oxidation of refractory pollutants in a sustainable way. The experimental results indicated that the straw-derived carbon obtained by pyrolysis at 500-800 °C was efficient on coactivation of H2O2, and the most efficient one was that prepared at 700 °C (C700) featured with abundant defects. Specifically, the reaction rate constant (kobs) for removal of an antibiotic ciprofloxacin in the coactivation system (C700/Fe3O4/H2O2) is 12.5 times that in the magnetite-catalyzed system (Fe3O4/H2O2). The faster pollutant oxidation is attributed to the sustainable production of •OH in the coactivation process, in which the carbon facilitated decomposition of H2O2 and regeneration of Fe(II). Besides the enhanced H2O2 utilization in the coactivation process, the leaching of iron was controlled within the concentration limit in drinking water (0.3 mg·L-1) set by the World Health Organization.

Abstract
The massive accumulation of red mud (RM) and the abuse of antibiotics pose a threat to environment safety and human health. In this study, we synthesized RM-based Prussian blue (RM-PB) by acid solution-coprecipitation method to activate H2O2 to degrade norfloxacin, which reached about 90% degradation efficiency at pH 5 within 60 min and maintained excellent catalytic performance over a wide pH range (3-11). Due to better dispersion and unique pore properties, RM-PB exposed more active sites, thus the RM-PB/H2O2 system produced more reactive oxygen species. As a result, the removal rate of norfloxacin by RM-PB/H2O2 system was 8.58 times and 2.62 times of that by RM/H2O2 system and PB/H2O2 system, respectively. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in the degradation process included ·OH, ·O2- and 1O2, with 1O2 playing a dominant role. The formation and transformation of these ROS was accompanied by the Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle, which was conducive for the sustained production of ROS. The RM-PB/H2O2 system maintained a higher degradation efficiency after five cycles, and the material exhibited strong stability, with a low iron leaching concentration. Further research showed the degradation process was less affected by Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, and humic acids, but was inhibited by HCO3- and HPO42-. In addition, we also proposed the possible degradation pathway of norfloxacin. This work is expected to improve the resource utilization rate of RM and achieve treating waste with waste.

Abstract
Transition metals are excellent active sites to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for water treatment, but the favorable electronic structures governing reaction mechanism still remain elusive. Herein, the authors construct typical d-orbital configurations on iron octahedral (FeOh ) and tetrahedral (FeTd ) sites in spinel ZnFe2 O4 and FeAl2 O4 , respectively. ZnFe2 O4 (136.58 min-1 F-1 cm2 ) presented higher specific activity than FeAl2 O4 (97.47 min-1 F-1 cm2 ) for tetracycline removal by PMS activation. Considering orbital features of charge amount, spin state, and orbital arrangement by magnetic spectroscopic analysis, ZnFe2 O4 has a larger bond order to decompose PMS. Using this descriptor, high-spin FeOh is assumed to activate PMS mainly to produce nonradical reactive oxygen species (ROS) while high-spin FeTd prefers to induce radical species. This hypothesis is confirmed by the selective predominant ROS of 1 O2 on ZnFe2 O4 and O2 •- on FeAl2 O4 via quenching experiments. Electrochemical determinations reveal that FeOh has superior capability than FeTd for feasible valence transformation of iron cations and fast interfacial electron transfer. DFT calculations further suggest octahedral d-orbital configuration of ZnFe2 O4 is beneficial to enhancing Fe-O covalence for electron exchange. This work attempts to understand the d-orbital configuration-dependent PMS activation to design efficient catalysts.

Insights into the effects of natural pyrite-activated sodium percarbonate on tetracycline removal from groundwater: Mechanism, pathways, and column studies. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 902:165883. [PMID: 37517722 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023]
Abstract
In-situ chemical oxidation based on sodium percarbonate (SPC) has received much attention for remediation of groundwater contaminated with organic pollutants due to the high efficiency, stable reaction, and sustainability of SPC. Currently, metal ions and their composite materials, are mainly employed for the activation of SPC. However, due to its narrow pH range, slow Fe3+/Fe2+ circulation, and generation of refractory sludge, its application in groundwater is limited. In this study, SPC was activated with natural pyrite (FeS2) to remove tetracycline, which was selected as the target pollutant. FeS2 exhibited excellent catalytic activity and stability towards the degradation of tetracycline. The tetracycline degradation efficiency of SPC/FeS2 system reached 70 % within 10 min, and nearly half of the tetracycline was degraded in the first 5 min of the reaction. The optimum SPC dosage for the tetracycline removal was 8 mM, with FeS2 dosage of 0.5 g/L. The tetracycline removal efficiency remained above 60 % after 4 cycles, indicating its good recycling efficiency of the system. SPC/FeS2 system was not significantly affected by the initial pH or the presence of Cl-, SO42-, NO3- while, HCO3-, Ca2+, Mg2+, and humid acid suppressed the reaction. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and quenching experiments demonstrated that OH and O2- played a dominant role in tetracycline removal by the system. S22-, as an electron donor, was able to participate in the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle. In addition, the 13 transformation products were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry predicted that the degradation pathway of tetracycline consisted of hydroxylation, demethylation, and decarbonylation reactions. Finally, the dynamic simulation experiments of SPC/FeS2 sand column showed that FeS2 effectively activated SPC and significantly reduced the toxicity in groundwater after the packed column treatment. This study reveals that FeS2 can efficiently activate SPC and has good prospects for tetracycline-contaminated groundwater remediation applications.

Abstract
The omnipresence of secondary microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystems has become an increasingly alarming public health concern. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important oxidant in nature and the most stable reactive oxygen species occurred in natural water. In order to explore the contribution of free ˙OH generated from H2O2-driven Fenton-like reactions on the degradation of polyethylene (PE) and generation of micro- and nano-scale plastics in water, a batch experiment was conducted over a period of 620 days in water treated with micromolar H2O2. The incorporation of H2O2 in water induced the formation of flake-like micro(nano)-sized particles due to intensified oxidative degradation of PE films. The presence of ˙OH significantly enhanced the generation of both micro- and nano-scale plastics exhibiting a higher proportion of particles in the range of 200-500 nm compared to the Control. Total organic carbon in the H2O2 treated solution was nearly 174-fold higher than that of the Control indicating a substantial liberation of organic compounds due to the oxidative degradation of native carbon chain of PE and subsequent decomposition of its additives. The highly toxic butylated hydroxytoluene detected from the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis implied the toxicological behavior of secondary micro(nano)plastics influenced by the oxidation and decomposition processes The findings from this study further expand our understanding of the role of ˙OH in degrading PE micro-scale plastics into nanoparticles as an implication of naturally occurring H2O2 in aquatic environments. In the future, further attention should be drawn to the underlying mechanisms of H2O2-driven in-situ Fenton reaction mediated by natural environmental conditions targeting the alternation of light and darkness on the oxidative degradation of plastics.

Abstract
The global industrial structure had undertaken significant changes since the twenty-first century, making a severe problem of chlorobenzene pollution in soil and groundwater (CBsPSG). CBsPSG receives increasing attention due to the high toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation of chlorobenzenes. To date, despite the gravity of this issue, no bibliometric analysis (BA) of CBsPSG does exist. This study fills up the gap by conducting a BA of 395 articles related to CBsPSG from the Web of Science Core Collection database using CiteSpace. Based on a comprehensive analysis of various aspects, including time-related, related disciplines, keywords, journal contribution, author productivity, and institute and country distribution, the status, development, and hotspots of research in the field were shown visually and statistically. Moreover, this study has also delved into the environmental behavior and remediation techniques of CBsPSG. In addition, four challenges (unequal research development, insufficient cooperation, deeply mechanism research, and developing new technologies) have been identified, and corresponding suggestions have been proposed for the future development of research in the field. Afterwards, the limitations of BA were discussed. This work provides a powerful insight into CBsPSG, enabling to quickly identify the hotspot and direction of future studies by relevant researchers.

Abstract
The release of untreated wastewater into water bodies has become a significant environmental concern, resulting in the accumulation of refractory organic pollutants that pose risks to human health and ecosystems. Wastewater treatment methods, including biological, physical, and chemical techniques, have limitations in achieving complete removal of the refractory pollutants. Chemical methods, particularly advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), have gained special attention for their strong oxidation capacity and minimal secondary pollution. Among the various catalysts used in AOPs, natural minerals offer distinct advantages, such as low cost, abundant resources, and environmental friendliness. Currently, the utilization of natural minerals as catalysts in AOPs lacks thorough investigation and review. This work addresses the need for a comprehensive review of natural minerals as catalysts in AOPs. The structural characteristics and catalytic performance of different natural minerals are discussed, emphasizing their specific roles in AOPs. Furthermore, the review analyzes the influence of process factors, including catalyst dosage, oxidant addition, pH value, and temperature, on the catalytic performance of natural minerals. Strategies for enhancing the catalytic efficiency of AOPs mediated by natural minerals are explored, mainly including physical fields, reductant addition, and cocatalyst utilization. The review also examines the practical application prospects and main challenges associated with the use of natural minerals as heterogeneous catalysts in AOPs. This work contributes to the development of sustainable and efficient approaches for organic pollutant degradation in wastewater.

Comparative studies of organic contaminant removal in different calcium sulfite-enhanced oxidant/Fe(II) systems: Kinetics, mechanisms, and differentiated degradation pathways.

Abstract
The application of S(IV) for the regeneration of Fe(II) has been widely investigated. As the common S(IV) sources, sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) and sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) are soluble in the solution, resulting in excessive SO32- concentration and redundant radical scavenging problems. In this research, calcium sulfite (CaSO3) was applied as the substitution for the enhancement of different oxidant/Fe(II) systems. The advantages of CaSO3 could be summarized as follows: (1) it could sustainedly supplement SO32- for Fe(II) regeneration, preventing radical scavenging and unnecessary reagent waste; (2) the cost and toxicity of CaSO3 were extremely lower than that of other S(IV) sources; (3) the concentration of reactive species increased in the presence of CaSO3; and (4) after the reaction, SO42- would form CaSO4 precipitate, which would not increase the burden of SO42- in the solution. In the participation of CaSO3, the removal of trichloroethylene (TCE) and other organic contaminants were significantly promoted and different enhanced systems had high tolerance on complex solution conditions. The major reactive species in different systems were determined through qualitative and quantitative analyses. Eventually, the dechlorination and mineralization of TCE were measured and the differentiated degradation pathways in different CaSO3-enhanced oxidants/Fe(II) systems were elucidated.

Abstract
The performance and intrinsic mechanism of vivianite, a natural mineral containing structural Fe(II), for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation and pollutant degradation under dark conditions were comprehensively explored in this study. It was found that vivianite was able to efficiently activate PMS to degrade various pharmaceutical pollutants under dark conditions, in which the corresponding reaction rate constant of ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation was 47- and 32-fold higher than that of magnetite and siderite, respectively. SO4·-, ·OH, Fe(IV) and electron-transfer processes were found in the vivianite-PMS system, while SO4·- was the main contributor to CIP degradation. Moreover, mechanistic explorations revealed that the Fe site on the surface of vivianite could bind PMS in the form of a bridge position, and thus vivianite could rapidly activate absorbed PMS due to its strong electron-donating ability. Additionally, it was illustrated that the used vivianite could be efficiently regenerated by either chemical or biological reduction. This study may provide an alternative application of vivianite in addition to phosphorus recovery from wastewater.

Abstract
Heterogeneous Fenton-like systems were exploited for the degradation of Reactive Red X-3B (RR X-3B) using iron-carbon composite, sponge iron, chalcopyrite and pyrite as catalysts. The effect of operational variables on the catalytic activity and metal leaching behavior of catalysts was evaluated and the catalytic mechanism was discussed. The experimental results showed that under the optimum conditions, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removals by Fenton-like systems could reach 89.91%, 86.84%, 80.11% and 60.02% with iron-carbon composite, sponge iron, chalcopyrite and pyrite, respectively. Micro-electrolysis of iron-carbon composite and sponge iron resulted in higher COD removal at acid pH range. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) analysis and quenching tests showed that •OH was the main reactive oxygen species responsible for the degradation of RR X-3B. A large amount of Fe2+ leached from iron-carbon composite and sponge iron, which served as a homogeneous Fenton catalyst during the degradation of RR X-3B. In contrast, much lower amount of Fe2+ was leached from chalcopyrite and pyrite, and surface catalysis of the minerals played more important role in the generation of •OH. Surface characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results illustrated that ≡Fe(II) was the primary surface catalytic site during the reaction. The reduction of ≡Fe(III) and ≡Cu(II) can be facilitated by sulfides on the mineral surface. The Fenton-like systems catalyzed by iron-based materials exhibited higher H2O2 utilization and COD removal than classical Fenton system. With the lower metal leaching concentration and stable surface property, chalcopyrite and pyrite may be more practical applicable from a long-term catalytic activity point of view.

Abstract
In this study, low concentration of ferrous ions (Fe2+) was added into natural molybdenite (MDN) activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) process to degrade a typical azo dye, orange G (OG). It was found that the addition of Fe2+ promoted OG degradation and simultaneously reduced the leaching of toxic Mo ions significantly. Further, the utilization efficiency of MDN was improved immensely, which was estimated from reuse experiment. MDN mainly acted as the reductant to promote cycling of Fe3+/Fe2+ redox couple through reducible sulfur and Mo(IV) on its surface. Sulfate radicals (SO4•-), hydroxyl radical (•OH) and singlet oxygen (1O2) were verified as the main reactive oxygen species responsible for OG degradation by scavenging tests and electron paramagnetic resonance. Some experiment parameters, such as MDN dosage, Fe2+ concentration, PMS concentration, initial solution pH and coexisting anion, all affected OG degradation efficiency. In a word, this work provides a new method of enhancing PMS activation by MDN using low concentration of Fe2+ for degradation of organic pollutants in water.

Abstract
Nanozymes have attracted great interest owing to their marvelous advantages, such as high stability, facile preparation, and high tunability. In particular, iron sulfide-based nanozymes (termed as ISNs), as one of the most researched nanomaterials with versatile enzyme-mimicking properties, have proved their potential in biomedical applications. In this review, we briefly summarize the classification, catalytic mechanisms of ISNs and then principally introduce ISNs’ biomedical applications in biosensors, tumor therapy, antibacterial therapy, and others, demonstrating that ISNs have promising potential for alleviating human health.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:17237-17248. [PMID: 35765422 PMCID: PMC9186116 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra01647h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Activation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) with biochar is a sustainable and low-cost approach for advanced oxidation of organic pollutants, but faces the challenge of a low yield of hydroxyl radical (˙OH). Herein, we hypothesize that the activation efficiency of H2O2 can be enhanced through co-catalysis of trace dissolved iron (Fe) with biochar. Two biochar samples derived from different feedstock, namely LB from liquor-making residue and WB from wood sawdust, were tested in the co-catalytic systems using trace Fe(iii) (0.3 mg L−1). The cumulative ˙OH production in [Fe(iii) + LB]/H2O2 was measured to be 3.28 times that in LB/H2O2, while the cumulative ˙OH production in [Fe(iii) + WB]/H2O2 was 11.9 times that in WB/H2O2. No extra consumption of H2O2 was observed in LB/H2O2 or WB/H2O2 after addition of trace Fe(iii). Consequently, the reaction rate constants (kobs) for oxidation of pollutants (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and sulfamethazine) were enhanced by 3.13–9.16 times. Other iron species including dissolved Fe(ii) and iron minerals showed a similar effect on catalyzing 2,4-D oxidation by biochar/H2O2. The interactions involved in adsorption and reduction of Fe(iii) by biochar in which the defects acted as electron donors and oxygen-containing functional groups bridged the electron transfer. The fast regeneration of Fe(ii) in the co-catalytic system resulted in the sustainable ˙OH production, thus the efficient oxidation of pollutants comparable to other advanced oxidation processes was achieved by using dissolved iron at a concentration as low as the concentration that can be found in natural water. The yield of ˙OH and oxidation of pollutants by biochar/H2O2 were enhanced dramatically by trace dissolved Fe(iii).![]()

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 297:134131. [PMID: 35257708 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Revised: 02/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
In this work, the effect of Co substitution in the Fe1-xS (CSP) on the activation of H2O2 to degrade tetracycline (TC) is investigated. A series of CSP samples with different Co content are synthesized via a high-temperature sulfidation method and characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, and electrochemical analysis. The result showed that low Co content (≤1%) promotes the catalytic activity of Fe1-xS, while excessive Co (1%﹤x ≤ 3%) inhibits its catalytic activity. The investigation of Behnajady-Modirshahla-Ghanbery kinetic model (BMG) showed that the maximum initial degradation rate of TC over 1.0% CSP/H2O2 was 1.6 times than that of in CSP/H2O2 system. The Box-Behnken with Response Surface Methodology was employed to verify optimum condition for TC degradation. The quenching experiments and ESR determined that ·OH, ·O2- and 1O2 were involved in TC degradation with the treatment of 1.0% CSP/H2O2 system. Electrochemical analysis, ·OH quantification, and metal ion concentrations measure reveal that Co substitution accelerates electron transfer efficiency and Fe2+ regeneration. Furthermore, nine intermediates are identified and the possible degradation pathway of TC is proposed. The unique effect of Co provides novel insight and efficient strategies for improving the reactivity of iron sulfide.

Abstract
A novel synthesis method under green philosophy for the preparation of some magnetite-based catalysts (MBCs) is presented. The synthesis was carried out in aqueous media (i.e., absence of organic solvents) at room temperature with recovery of excess reactants. Terephthalic acid (H2BDC) was used to drive the synthesis route towards magnetite. Accordingly, bare magnetite (Fe3O4) and some hybrid magnetite-carbon composites were prepared (Fe3O4-G, Fe3O4-GO, and Fe3O4-AC). Graphene (G), graphene oxide (GO), and activated carbon (AC) were used as starting carbon materials. The recovered H2BDC and the as-synthetized MBCs were fully characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, SQUID magnetometry, TGA-DTA-MS, elemental analysis, and N2-adsorption-desorption isotherms. The recovered H2BDC was of purity high enough to be reused in the synthesis of MBCs. All the catalysts obtained presented the typical crystalline phase of magnetite nanoparticles, moderate surface area (63–337 m2 g−1), and magnetic properties that allowed their easy separation from aqueous media by an external magnet (magnetization saturation = 25–80 emu g−1). The MBCs were tested in catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of an aqueous solution of metoprolol tartrate (MTP) under simulated solar radiation. The Fe3O4-AC materials showed the best catalytic performance among the prepared MBCs, with MTP and total organic carbon (TOC) removals higher than 90% and 20%, respectively, after 3 h of treatment. This catalyst was fairly successfully reused in nine consecutive runs, though minor loss of activity was observed, likely due to the accumulation of organic compounds on the porous structure of the activated carbon and/or partial oxidation of surface Fe2+ sites.

Abstract
Among all homogeneous catalysts, cobalt ions show the highest catalytic performance for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Herein, we report a Co2+/PMS/H3BO3 system that can effectively generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) with ultra-low Co2+ dosage (5 μg/L). Co2+/PMS/H3BO3 system showed ultrafast reactivity and wide applicability for various pollutants. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX, 2 mg/L) could be completely removed within 5 min, and the corresponding kobs reached up to 1.1239 min-1. The introduction of H3BO3 significantly promoted the generation of ROS. The turnover frequency (TOF) calculated through dividing kobs by the cobalt ions concentration is as high as 224.78 min-1, which is much higher than most of the current research. Through a series of theoretical and experimental analyses, the complex of H2BO3--MS (HSO5B(OH)3-) was inferred to be the key substance that led to the excellent performance of the system. This work provides new insights into the Co2+/PMS system in the presence of borate buffer.

Abstract
Perovskite has been widely concerned in the field of modern environmental catalysis due to its low price, high stability, excellent catalytic activity, diverse structure and strong conversion adaptability. In recent years, people have been working on the coupling of perovskite catalysts and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) on the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater. In this review, we classified perovskites of different designs and summarized the application and basic reaction mechanisms of each perovskite in different AOPs. This review helps scientists selecting and designing more effective perovskite catalysts for AOPs by summarizing the applications and reaction mechanisms of perovskite in AOPs. At the end of the review, the challenges and future directions of perovskite in removing organic pollutants from wastewater are discussed.

Abstract
Currently, many catalysts are inconvenient to separate from water, and the solvents used in the preparation process are not environmentally friendly, resulting in low recovery efficiency and secondary pollution. In this study, the magnetic and porous regenerated cellulose/carbon nanotubes/Fe3O4 nanoparticles (RC/CNTs/Fe3O4 NPs) composites were synthesized for activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS) in a green alkaline-urea system. The RC/CNTs/Fe3O4 NPs-PDS system achieved 100% removal of bisphenol A compared with CNTs (~64.6%), RC (~0%) or Fe3O4 NPs (~0%), which was closely related to the introduction of defects and functional groups, nitrogen doping and conductive networks. Interestingly, the strong interaction between CNTs and the sheath-like protective layer formed by urea on the cellulose surface promotes the introduction of nitrogen into the composites at the preparation temperature of 70 °C. Moreover, the mechanism of the system was found to be a typical non-radical pathway. Fortunately, there is no leaching of iron ions in the system, and the effects of the actual waterbody, initial pH, and different anions are negligible. The recycling and separation experiments revealed the practicality and superiority of the composite. This work provides a feasible and sustainable strategy for the application of natural cellulose-supported catalysts.
