Abstract
Metals are rarely found as free ions in natural and anthropogenic environments, but they are often associated with organic matter and minerals. Under the context of circular economy, metals should be recycled, yet they are difficult to extract for their complex forms in real situations. Based on the protocols of review methodology and the analysis of VOS viewer, there are few reviews on the properties of metal-organic complexes, decomplexation methods, the effect of coexisting ions, the pH influence, and metal recovery methods for the increasingly complicated metal-organic complexes wastewater. Conventional treatment methods such as flocculation, adsorption, biological degradation, and ion exchange fail to decompose metal-organic complexes completely without causing secondary pollution in wastewater. To enhance comprehension of the behavior and morphology exhibited by metal-organic complexes within aqueous solutions, we presented the molecular structure and properties of metal-organic complexes, the decomplexation mechanisms that encompassed both radical and non-radical oxidizing species, including hydroxyl radical (OH), sulfate radical (SO˙4-), superoxide radical (O˙2-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), ozone (O3), and singlet oxygen (1O2). More importantly, we reviewed novel aspects that have not been covered by previous reviews considering the impact of operational parameters and coexisting ions. Finally, the potential avenues and challenges were proposed for future research.

Waste leather derived porous carbon boosted Fenton oxidation towards removal of diethyl phthalate: Mechanism and long-lasting performance. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 458:132040. [PMID: 37451102 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
The acceleration of Fe(III)/Fe(II) conversion in Fenton systems is the critical route to achieve the long-lasting generation of reactive oxygen species towards the oxidation of refractory contaminants. Here, we found that waste leather derived porous carbon materials (LPC), as a simple and readily available metal-free biochar material, can promote the Fe(III)/H2O2 system to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH) for oxidizing a broad spectrum of contaminants. Results of characterizations, theoretical calculations, and electrochemical tests show that the surface carbonyl groups of LPC can provide electron for direct Fe(III) reduction. More importantly, the graphitic-N on surface of LPC can enhance the reactivity of Fe(III) for accelerating H2O2 induced Fe(III) reduction. The presence of LPC accelerates the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox cycle in the Fe(III)/H2O2 system, sustainable Fenton chain reactions is thus initiated for long-lasting generation of hydroxyl radicals without adding Fe(II). The continuous flow mode that couples in-situ Fenton-like oxidation and LPC with excellent adsorption catalytic properties, anti-coexisting substances interference and reusability performance enables efficient, green and sustainable degradation of trace organic pollutants. Therefore, the application of metal-free carbon materials in Fenton-like system can solve its rate-limiting problem, reduce the production of iron sludge, achieve green Fenton chemistry, and facilitate the actual engineering application of economic and ecological methods to efficiently remove trace organic contaminants from actual water sources.

An extra-chelator-free fenton process assisted by electrocatalytic-induced in-situ pollutant carboxylation for target refractory organic efficient treatment in chemical-industrial wastewater. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023:116243. [PMID: 37270077 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116243] [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: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
For traditional Fenton processes, the quenching behavior of radical contenders (e.g., most aliphatic hydrocarbons) on hydroxyl radicals (·OH) usually hinders the removal of target refractory pollutants (aromatic/heterocyclic hydrocarbons) in chemical industrial wastewater, leading to excess energy consumption. Herein, we proposed an electrocatalytic-assisted chelation-Fenton (EACF) process, with no extra-chelator addition, to significantly enhance target refractory pollutant (pyrazole as a representative) removal under high ·OH contender (glyoxal) levels. Experiments and theoretical calculations proved that superoxide radical (·O2-) and anodic direct electron transfer (DET) effectively converted the strong ·OH-quenching substance (glyoxal) to a weak radical competitor (oxalate) during the electrocatalytic oxidation process, promoting Fe2+ chelation and therefore increasing radical utilization for pyrazole degradation (reached maximum of ∼43-fold value upon traditional Fenton), which appeared more obviously in neutral/alkaline Fenton conditions. For actual pharmaceutical tailwater treatment, the EACF achieved 2-folds higher oriented-oxidation capability and ∼78% lower operation cost per pyrazole removal than the traditional Fenton process, demonstrating promising potential for future practical applications.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 321:138027.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics have been encountered in aquatic environments in quantities giving rise to significant concern recently. To cope with this problem, it is necessary to design a semiconductor photocatalyst having excellent photocatalytic efficiency to eliminate the antibiotics. The heterojunction is a likely situate where the efficiency of relevant photocatalyst can be strengthened. In this study, the performance of MnNb2O6/g-C3N4 (MNO/g-CN) composites in the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and tetracycline-HCl (TCH) antibiotics was explored. Enhanced photocatalytic activity of MNO/g-CN was found to be owing to electron's shifting between the MNO, and g-CN sheets, which promotes the formation of photo-generated e⁻/h⁺ pairs. This shows a low-waste, high-performance material exists to eradicate CIP and TCH from wastewater. Further, the structural, photochemical and light interacted properties of the MNO/g-CN photocatalyst, prepared by solvothermal method and sonication, were described using photochemical, physiochemical and electrochemical approaches. The synthesized photocatalyst owes its particular efficiency to its methodical photo-degradation of CIP and TC using visible light. The optimum composite 15% MNO/g-CN evinced the greatest photocatalytic efficiency with CIP and TCH photo-degradation of 94.10%, and 98.50%, respectively, and degradation mechanism were investigated using LC-MS spectroscopy. The suitable photocatalytic activity is ascribed to lower the recombination's rate of e⁻/h⁺ pairs. The scavenging evaluations proved that the h+ and •O2- were two major photoactive species accomplishing the CIP and TCH photodegradation over MNO/g-CN under visible region. Our findings pave the way for the construction of efficient binary photocatalysts for antibiotic restitution.

Core-Shell Hierarchical Fe/Cu Bimetallic Fenton Catalyst with Improved Adsorption and Catalytic Performance for Congo Red Degradation. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
The preparation of heterogeneous Fenton catalysts with both adsorption and catalytic properties has become an effective strategy for the treatment of refractory organic wastewater. In this work, 4A-Fe@Cu bimetallic Fenton catalysts with a three-dimensional core-shell structure were prepared by a simple, template-free, and surfactant-free methodology and used in the adsorption and degradation of Congo red (CR). The results showed that the open three-dimensional network structure and the positive charge of the surface of the 4A-Fe@Cu catalyst could endow a high adsorption capacity for CR, reaching 432.9 mg/g. The good adsorption property of 4A-Fe@Cu for CR not only did not inactivate the catalytic site on 4A-Fe@Cu but also could promote the contact between CR and the active sites on the catalyst surface and accelerate the degradation process. The 4A-Fe@Cu bimetallic catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity than monometallic 4A@Cu and/or 4A-Fe catalysts due to low work function value. The effects of different pH, H2O2 dosages, and catalyst dosages on the catalytic performance of 4A-Fe@Cu were explored. In the conditions of 7.2 mM H2O2, 2 g/L 4A-Fe@Cu, and 1 g/L CR solution, the degradation ratio of CR by 4A-Fe@Cu could reach 99.2% at pH 8. This strategy provided guidance to the design of high-performance Fenton-like catalysts with both adsorption and catalysis properties for dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Metal fumes fever (MFF) is an inflammatory condition, whose mechanism is yet unclear, associated with the inhalation of metal fumes, particularly zinc. In this study we investigate experimentally the hypothesis of a two-step mechanism of MFF onset: (1) the photocatalytic production of airborne hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via ZnO and (2) the production of hydroxyl radicals (HOׄ) through Fenton reaction via magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles. Photocatalysis and Fenton reaction products were measured using a multiscattering-enhanced absorbance device and assessing the degradation of bromophenol blue with microplate photometry, respectively. We observed that in the presence of UV, ZnO produces 3 to 4-times more H2O2 than UV alone or that non-UV irradiated ZnO. In the presence of biologically-relevant ligands, we also measured a Fenton reaction at physiological pH with either Fe(II), Fe(III) or Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Our results support the hypothesis of a two-step mechanism of MFF onset, in which the prior presence of Fe in the lungs exacerbates the oxidative stress, triggered by the photocatalysis of ZnO, a situation that could occurs when welding galvanized steel. More broadly, this raises the question of the role of the Fenton mechanism in respiratory exposure to metal particles and its possible contribution to other lung diseases.

A newly-constructed bifunctional bacterial consortium for removing butyl xanthate and cadmium simultaneously from mineral processing wastewater: Experimental evaluation, degradation and biomineralization.

Abstract
Due to the technological limitations associated with beneficiation technology, large amounts of flotation reagents and heavy metals remain in mineral processing wastewater. Unfortunately, however, no treatment methods are available to mitigate the resulting pollution by them. In this study, a bacterial consortium SDMC (simultaneously degrade butyl xanthate and biomineralize cadmium) was constructed in an effort to simultaneously degrade butyl xanthate (BX) and biomineralize cadmium (Cd) by screening and domesticating two different bacterial species including Hypomicrobium and Sporosarcina. SDMC is efficient in removing the combined pollution due to BX and Cd with a 100% degradation rate for BX and 99% biomineralization rate for Cd within 4 h. Besides, SDMC can tolerate high concentrations of Fe(III) (0-40 mg/L). It has an excellent ability to utilize Fe(III) for enhanced removal of the combined pollutants. SDMC can effectively remove pollutants with a pH range of 6-9. Further, we discussed pathways for potential degradation and biomineralization: Cd(BX)2-Cd2+, BX-; BX--CS2, butyl perxanthate (BPX); Cd2+-(Ca0.67,Cd0.33)CO3. The removal of the combined pollutants primarily entails decomposition, degradation, and biomineralization, C-O bond cleavage, and microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP). SDMC is a simple, efficient, and eco-friendly bifunctional bacterial consortium for effective treatment of BX-Cd combined pollution in mineral processing wastewater.

Abstract
The overuse of ciprofloxacin (CIP), causing serious environment pollution, has drawn great attentions. To provide alternative solution to this problem, we synthesized a snow-like BiVO4 with rich oxygen vacancy by adjusting the amounts of cetyltrimethyl ammonia bromide (CTAB) surfactant. Various characterizations were performed to investigate the morphology and surface properties of the synthesized BiVO4. Interestingly, both the morphology and the amount of oxygen vacancy were related to the concentration of additional CTAB, and the most oxygen vacancies were generated when specific amount of CTAB (molar ratio of CTAB to Bi3+ of 0.2) was introduced. Photoluminescence and photoelectrochemical tests demonstrated that the presence of oxygen vacancy significantly enhanced the separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers in BiVO4. Subsequently, CIP photodegradation was significantly enhanced in the presence of snow-like BiVO4. Both quenching experiments and EPR tests demonstrated that photogenerated holes and •O2- were the main active species contributing to CIP degradation. Furthermore, CIP transformation pathway was proposed based on the identified transformation products. Our study developed a novel method to synthesize a BiVO4 material with snow-like morphology and abundant oxygen vacancy by simply varying the amount of surfactant. This study would shed light on designing the next generation photocatalyst with the assistant of surfactant to control the surface properties.

Abstract
This work demonstrated a novel N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)glutamic acid (GLDA) modified visible (vis) light assisted Fenton-like system which could effectively removal ciprofloxacin (CIP) at neutral pH. The removal rate of CIP in the GLDA/Fe(III)/H2O2/vis system was 97.9% within 120 min and was approximately twice as high as that in the Fe(III)/H2O2/vis system. GLDA could significantly accelerate the Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle under visible light irradiation. Radical scavenging experiments demonstrated that 74.2% of the Fe(II) in the GLDA/Fe(III)/H2O2/vis system originated from the ligand-to-metal charge transfer reaction between Fe(III) and GLDA. The hydroxyl radical was the dominant species for CIP degradation. H2O2 utilization kinetic modeling exhibited that 90.1% of H2O2 was used for CIP mineralization. The effects of experimental parameters and coexisting substances on the removal of CIP in the Fe(III)/GLDA/H2O2/vis system were investigated in detail. The intermediate products of CIP were explored via the high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
