Abstract
The solar light-responsive Fe-doped Co-based coordination polymer (Fe@Co-CP) photocatalyst was synthesized under mild conditions. [Co(4-padpe)(1,3-BDC)]n (Co-CP) was first constructed using mixed ligands through the hydrothermal method. Then, Fe was introduced into the Co-CP framework to achieve the enhanced photocatalytic activity. The optimal Fe@Co-CP-2 exhibited excellent catalytic degradation performance for norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin under sunlight irradiation without auxiliary oxidants, and the degradation rates were 91.25 and 92.66% in 120 min. These excellent photocatalytic properties were ascribed to the generation of the Fe-O bond, which not only enhanced the light absorption intensity but also accelerated the separation efficiency of electrons and holes, and hence significantly improved the photocatalytic property of the composites. Meanwhile, Fe@Co-CP-2 displayed excellent stability and reusability. In addition, the degradation pathways and intermediates of antibiotic molecules were effectively analyzed. The free radical scavenging experiment and ESR results confirmed that •OH, •O2-, and h+ active species were involved in the catalytic degradation reaction; the corresponding mechanisms were deeply investigated. This study provides a fresh approach for constructing Fe-doped Co-CP-based composite materials as photocatalysts for degradation of antibiotic contaminants.

Abstract
Increasing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-based systems have been developed to degrade various polysaccharides due to the presence of highly reactive free radicals, but published degradation mechanisms are still limited. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the degradation mechanism of six typical glucosidic bonds from different disaccharides in an ultraviolet (UV)/H2O2 system. The results showed that the H2O2 concentration, disaccharide concentration, and radiation intensity were important factors affecting pseudo-first-order kinetic constants. Hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, and UV alone contributed 58.37, 18.52, and 19.17% to degradation, respectively. The apparent degradation rates ranked in the order of cellobiose ≈ lactose > trehalose ≈ isomaltose > turanose > sucrose ≈ maltose. The reaction pathways were then deduced after identifying their degradation products. According to quantum chemical calculations, the cleavage of α-glycosidic bonds was more kinetically unfavorable than that of β-glycosidic bonds. Additionally, the order of apparent degradation rates depended on the energy barriers for the formation of disaccharide-based alkoxyl radicals. Moreover, energy barriers for homolytic scissions of glucosidic C1-O or C7-O sites of these alkoxyl radicals ranked in the sequence: α-(1 → 2) ≈ α-(1 → 3) < α-(1 → 4) < β-(1 → 4) < α-(1 → 6) < α-(1 → 1) glucosidic bonds. This study helps to explain the mechanisms of carbohydrate degradation by free radicals.

Abstract
In view of the problems of high acid consumption, the blockage of ore-bearing beds caused by iron ion precipitation and a low leaching rate in the conventional acid leaching of a sandstone-type uranium deposit, the author put forward “low-acid and oxygen leaching technology” research. In order to further clarify the mechanism of leaching sandstone-type uranium ore with low acid and oxygen, the oxidation mechanism of ferrous ion under acidic conditions, the influencing factors of ferrous ion oxidation process, the kinetic simulation of oxygen oxidizing uranium minerals, and the interaction of uranium and iron precipitation in acidic solution were analyzed and studied, and the mechanism of oxygen oxidizing uranium and uranium leaching under low acid conditions was explored. The results show that under the condition of low acidity, the kinetics that ferrous oxidized by oxygen is between the first-order and second-order reaction, which can reduce the iron ion precipitation and then reduce the influence of iron ion precipitation on uranium leaching, so as to improve the uranium leaching rate. This study confirmed the feasibility of the oxygen oxidation of uranium and uranium leaching under low acidity conditions, which has a good guiding significance for the effective leaching of uranium deposits with a high acid consumption.

Abstract
Many studies have reported that hydroxyl radical (HO˙) driven advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) could degrade fluoroquinolones (FQs) antibiotics effectively. Compared with HO˙, sulfate radical (SO4˙−) shows a similar oxidation capacity but a longer half-life. SO4˙− could cause chain reactions and resulted in the generation of halogen radicals and carbonate radicals from the main anions in sea water including Cl−, Br− and HCO3−. However, few studies were focused on the degradation of FQs in marine aquaculture water and seawater, as well as the bioaccumulation of transformation products. As a typical member of FQs, flumequine (FLU) was degraded by UV/peroxodisulfate (PDS) AOPs in synthetic fresh water, marine aquaculture water and seawater. The reaction rate constants in the three water samples were 0.0348 min−1, 0.0179 min−1 and 0.0098 min−1, respectively. The reason was attributed to the inhibition of the anions as they could consume SO4˙− and initiate the quenching reaction of free radicals. When the pH value increased from 5 to 9, the reaction rate decreased from 0.0197 min−1 to 0.0066 min−1. The energy difference between HOMO and LUMO of FLU was calculated to be 8.07 eV indicating that FLU was a stable compound. The atoms on quinolone ring of FLU with high negative charge would be more vulnerable to attack by free radicals through electrophilic reactions. Two possible degradation pathways of FLU were inferred according to the degradation products. Preliminary bioaccumulation analysis of transformation products by the EPI suite software proved that the values of log Kow and log BCF of the final product P100 were less than those of FLU and the intermediates. Many studies have reported that hydroxyl radical (HO˙) driven advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) could degrade fluoroquinolones (FQs) antibiotics effectively.![]()

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131964. [PMID: 34426296 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.131964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Revised: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Fluoroquinolones in water environments have caused worldwide concern due to negative effects on human health and ecological environment. Heretofore, synergistic mechanisms of Fe3+/H2O2 process enhanced via vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation for fluoroquinolones removal, and generation ways and contribution evaluations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in integrated VUV/Fe3+/H2O2 were not reported systematically. This work comparatively investigated norfloxacin (NOR, typical fluoroquinolones) degradation in VUV/Fe3+/H2O2 and its sub-processes. Compared with its sub-processes, VUV/Fe3+/H2O2 process could not only increase degradation rate constant by 2.1-10.2 times and increase mineralization rate by 14.5%-49.5%, but also reduce energy consumption by 53.1%-89.9% and reduce economic cost by 33.3%-68.0%. Effect mechanisms of Fe3+ and H2O2 doses on decontamination capability of VUV/Fe2+/H2O2 were elaborated, and 3 mM H2O2 and 90 μM Fe3+ were determined as optimal doses. The synergetic factor in integrated VUV/Fe3+/H2O2 was 3.33, which was mainly ascribed to VUV photons accelerating iron cycle. In VUV/Fe3+/H2O2 process, superoxide radical and hydroxyl radical were confirmed as primary ROS, contributing 20.86% and 76.32% to NOR oxidation, separately. Organic and inorganic products of NOR and its degradation pathways in integrated VUV/Fe3+/H2O2 were also investigated. Besides, the synergistic reaction pathways in VUV/Fe3+/H2O2 were elaborated. Effects of water matrices on decontamination capability of VUV/Fe3+/H2O2 were also studied. All results indicated VUV/Fe3+/H2O2 as an efficient and cost-effective process suitable for NOR removal.
