Yang X, Ye L, Zhou Y, Peng J, Kong Q. Effects of pH on the triplet state dissolved organic matter induced free available chlorine decay and radical formation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133268. [PMID: 38113730 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Triplet state dissolved organic matter (3DOM*) plays a significant role in inducing oxidant decay and radical generation in light-based advanced oxidation processes. However, the effects of pH still need investigation. This work quantitatively analyzed the pH-dependent free available chlorine (FAC) decay and radical formation (i.e., HO• and Cl•) induced by 3DOM* or triplet state photosensitizer (3PS*). Upon UV irradiation at 254 nm, the decay rate of FAC by 3DOM* or 3PS* was the highest at neutral pH, while those by dark reaction of DOM and the direct photolysis of FAC were the highest at acidic conditions. This is attributed to the variation of FAC species, 3DOM* or 3PS* formation, and the reaction rate constants of FAC with 3DOM* or 3PS* at pH 5.0-10.0. 3DOM* and 3PS* formed increasingly with pH varying from 5.0 to 10.0, while their reactivity with FAC decreased due to the speciation from HOCl to OCl-. Radical formation (i.e., HO• and Cl•) from FAC reaction with 3DOM* or 3PS* occurred at all the testing pH range (5.0-10.0). This work highlighted the pH-dependent role of 3DOM* in oxidant decay and radical formation in treating DOM containing waters through oxidant photolysis. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Triplet state dissolved organic matter (3DOM*) plays a significant role in inducing oxidant decay and radical generation in light-based AOPs. This study revealed the effects of pH in 3DOM* induced free available chlorine (FAC) decay and radical formation (i.e., HO• and Cl•). With DOM at 3 mgC L-1, FAC decayed fastest under neutral conditions and radical formation (i.e., HO• and Cl•) was enhanced at 5.0-10.0 due to 3DOM* reaction with FAC. These results highlighted the pH-dependent role of 3DOM* in oxidant transformation and radical formation in treating DOM containing waters by AOPs based on oxidant photolysis.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 899:165625.

Abstract
Pollutants of emerging concern in aqueous environments present a significant threat to both the aquatic ecosystem and human health due to their rapid transfer. Among the various treatment approaches to remove those pollutants, UV-assisted advanced oxidation/reduction processes are considered competent and cost-effective. The treatment effectiveness is highly dependent on the wavelength of the UV irradiation used. This article systematically discusses the wavelength dependency of direct photolysis, UV/peroxides, UV/chlor(am)ine, UV/ClO2, UV/natural organic matter, UV/nitrate, and UV/sulfite on the transformation of contaminants. Altering wavelengths affects the photolysis of target pollutants, photo-decay of the oxidant/reductant, and quantum yields of reactive species generated in the processes, which significantly impact the degradation rates and formation of disinfection byproducts. In general, the degradation of contaminants is most efficient when using wavelengths that closely match the highest molar absorption coefficients of the target pollutants or the oxidizing/reducing agents, and the contribution of pollutant absorption is generally more significant. By matching the wavelength with the peak absorbance of target compounds and oxidants/reductants, researchers and engineers have the potential to optimize the UV wavelengths used in UV-AO/RPs to effectively remove pollutants and control the formation of disinfection byproducts.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 246:120673. [PMID: 37844341 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120673] [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: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
The oxidation kinetics of Mn(II) by free chlorine is relatively low under near-neutral pH conditions which limits the Mn removal efficiency in drinking water treatment. Therefore, this study investigated the oxidation efficiency of Mn(II) by the UV-enhanced chlorination (UV/chlorine) system and identified the responsible reactive radical species. The results show that the oxidation kinetic of Mn(II) was greatly enhanced by the UV/chlorine system under near-neutral pH or even acidic conditions. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate of Mn(II) at pH 8.0 (within the first 20 min) increased from 2.60 × 10-5 s-1 to 3.41 × 10-4 s-1. Based on the scavenging experiments and the steady-state kinetic modeling, ClO· and ClO2, whose steady-state concentration (∼10-10 M and ∼10-9 M, respectively at pH 8.0) was at least 4 orders of magnitude higher than that of HO· and Cl·, were recognized as the dominant reactive species contributing to the oxidation of Mn(II). Kinetic model calculations indicate that the contribution of ClO· to the oxidation of Mn(II) was consistently maintained above 70 %, and ClO2 also played an important role in the oxidation of Mn(II) especially under acidic and alkaline conditions. In addition, the background components of HCO3- and Cl- had negligible influence on the oxidation efficiency because they barely changed the concentration of the ClO· and ClO2. This study first demonstrates the important role of ClO2 in the oxidation of Mn(II) in the UV/chlorine system, and the possible role of ClO2 in the degradation of some organic pollutants needs to be carefully evaluated in the future.

Chen H, Lin T, Wang P, Wang Y, Wei W, Zhu S. A novel solar-activated chlorine dioxide process for atrazine degradation in drinking water. WATER RESEARCH 2023; 239:120056. [PMID: 37167851 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
New technologies using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) with low energy-input to address the presence of micro-contaminants and the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are required for drinking water safety. In this work, the activation of chlorine dioxide with solar (solar/ClO2 process), a type of renewable and inexhaustible energy, was developed to degrade atrazine (ATZ) and control the formation of DBPs. Results revealed that solar/ClO2 process was effective in degrading ATZ. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and chlorine radicals (Cl•) produced in solar/ClO2 process were found to be the predominant agents for ATZ degradation with contribution rates of 55.9% and 44.1%, respectively, based on radical quenching tests and competition kinetics. Reaction pH did not affect the total amount of Cl• and •OH (i.e., [•OH]exp) and [Cl•]exp), while the conversion of Cl• to •OH was responsible for the depressed ATZ degradation efficiency with the increasing pH in solar/ClO2 process. The presence of bicarbonate (HCO3-), chloride (Cl-) and humic acid (HA) retarded the ATZ degradation mainly due to they decreased [•OH]exp) and [Cl•]exp. Using the UPLC-MS/MS analysis, six degradation intermediates of ATZ were tentatively identified, and the three-stage degradation pathway as well as the stepwise detoxification of ATZ were confirmed by the condensed Fukui function (CFF) calculation and ECOSAR prediction. Applying solar/ClO2 as a pretreatment of HA-containing water, the formation of DBPs during post-chlorination was significantly reduced. However, the presence of ATZ during solar/ClO2 pretreatment of HA significantly lowered the control efficiency of DBPs. The major degradation intermediate, i.e., deethyldeisopropylhydroxyatrazine (DEIHA), of ATZ could incorporate into HA and therefore providing more precursors for DBPs. The acute toxicity recorded by the behavior of zebrafish larvae revealed that using chloramine instead of chlorine downstream the solar/ClO2 pretreatment of ATZ and HA could significantly reduce the acute toxicity by decreasing the formation of total DBPs. This study demonstrated the great potential of applying solar/ClO2 process followed by chloramination to simultaneously degrade micro-contaminants and reduce DBPs formation as well as toxic risk in practical applications.

Abstract
An advanced experimental protocol is reported for studying the kinetics and mechanism of the complex redox reaction between chlorite ion and hypochlorous acid under acidic condition. The formation of ClO2 is followed directly by the classical two-component stopped-flow method. In sequential stopped-flow experiments, the target reaction is chemically quenched using NaI solution and the concentration of each reactant and product is monitored as a function of time by utilizing the principles of kinetic discrimination. Thus, in contrast to earlier studies, not only the formation of one of the products but the decay of the reactants was also directly followed. This approach provides a firm basis for postulating a detailed mechanism for the interpretation of the experimental results under a variety of conditions. The intimate details of the reaction are explored by simultaneously fitting 78 kinetic traces, i.e., the concentration vs. time profiles of ClO2-, HOCl, and ClO2, to an 11-step kinetic model. The most important reaction steps were identified, and it was shown that two reactive intermediates have a pivotal role in the mechanism. While chlorate ion predominantly forms via the reaction of Cl2O, chlorine dioxide is exclusively produced in reaction steps involving Cl2O2. This study leads to clear conclusions on how to control the stoichiometry of the reaction and achieve optimum conditions to produce chlorine dioxide and to reduce the formation of the toxic chlorate ion in practical applications.

Chlorine Dioxide: Friend or Foe for Cell Biomolecules? A Chemical Approach. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415660.

Abstract
This review examines the role of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) on inorganic compounds and cell biomolecules. As a disinfectant also present in drinking water, ClO2 helps to destroy bacteria, viruses, and some parasites. The Environmental Protection Agency EPA regulates the maximum concentration of chlorine dioxide in drinking water to be no more than 0.8 ppm. In any case, human consumption must be strictly regulated since, given its highly reactive nature, it can react with and oxidize many of the inorganic compounds found in natural waters. Simultaneously, chlorine dioxide reacts with natural organic matter in water, including humic and fulvic acids, forming oxidized organic compounds such as aldehydes and carboxylic acids, and rapidly oxidizes phenolic compounds, amines, amino acids, peptides, and proteins, as well as the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide NADH, responsible for electron and proton exchange and energy production in all cells. The influence of ClO2 on biomolecules is derived from its interference with redox processes, modifying the electrochemical balances in mitochondrial and cell membranes. This discourages its use on an individual basis and without specialized monitoring by health professionals.

Abstract
The triplet states of dissolved organic matter (3DOM*) have been well known to oxidize various organic contaminants, but evidence of their reducing properties are largely scarce. In this work, chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as a single-electron oxidant was used as a probe to evaluate the reduction property of 3DOM*. The reduction of ClO2 to chlorite was observed in the solutions of model photosensitizers (i.e., 4-carboxybenzophenone, benzophenone, acetophenone, 3-methoxyacetophenone, naphthalene, and xanthone) during UV irradiation with the presence of ClO2, though they are resistant to ClO2 oxidation in the dark. The reducing property of the triplet states of photosensitizers was verified and their second-order reaction rate constants with ClO2 were determined to be in the range of 1.45(± 0.03)× 109 - 2.18(± 0.06) × 109 M-1 s-1 at pH 7.0. The quenching tests excluded the role of other reactive species (e.g., HO•, O(3P), Cl•, ClO• and HOCl/OCl-, O2•- and eaq-) in ClO2 reduction to chlorite when using model photosensitizers and DOM isolates. Chlorite formation was 48.1-90.4% and 4812.8-7721.8% higher during UV irradiation with the presence of ClO2 and DOM than those without UV irradiation or without DOM present, respectively. The enhancement was attributed to the enhanced electron donating capacity (chlorite precursors) of DOM upon UV irradiation and also to 3DOM* acting as an electron donor reducing ClO2 to chlorite. This study highlighted the important role of 3DOM* as a reductant.

Abstract
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) has emerged as a broad-spectrum, safe, and effective disinfectant due to its high oxidation efficiency and reduced formation of organochlorinated by-products during application. This article provides an updated overview of ClO2-based oxidation processes used in water treatment. A systematic review of scientific information and experimental data on ClO2-based water purification procedures is presented. Concerning ClO2-based oxidation derivative problems, the pros and cons of ClO2-based combined processes are assessed and disinfection by-product (DBP) control approaches are proposed. The kinetic and mechanistic data on ClO2 reactivity towards micropollutants are discussed. ClO2 selectively reacts with electron-rich moieties (anilines, phenols, olefins, and amines) and eliminates certain inorganic ions and microorganisms with high efficiency. The formation of chlorite and chlorate during the oxidation process is a crucial concern when utilizing ClO2. Future applications include the combination of ClO2 with ferrous ions, activated carbon, ozone, UV, visible light, or persulfate processes. The combined process can reduce by-product generation while still ensuring ClO2 sterilization and disinfection. Overall, this research could provide useful information and new insights into the application of ClO2-based technologies.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to estimate the exposure dose level of ocular corpuscles during the common interventional procedures of interventional radiology workers. This article retrospectively analyzed the general instruments and equipment of interventional therapy, the general methods and steps of interventional therapy, and the influence of X-ray of interventional surgery. The related contents of eye protection for interventional radiology workers were summarized. This study found that there was a significant linear correlation between the equivalent dose of lens and the exposure time. The tube voltage, tube current, and the size of fluoroscopic field of vision also have an impact on the radiation of workers during surgical exposure. Interventional surgery is difficult and easy. The exposure time of difficult surgery is relatively long, so the dose received by interventional staff is large. The intervention staff should improve their professional knowledge, be proficient in the operation technology, and try to reduce the exposure without affecting the diagnosis and treatment effect. During the intervention operation, the eye substance of the operator is exposed to a certain dose of radiation, and the wearing rate of protective lead glasses of the intervention staff is very low. Therefore, we must pay attention to the protection of the eyes, strengthen the protection management, and reduce the exposure dose of the intervention staff as much as possible.

Abstract
Recently, ClO2-based oxidation has attracted increasing attention to micropollutant abatement, due to high oxidation potential, low disinfection byproduct (DBPs) formation, and easy technical implementation. However, the kinetics, reactive sites, activation methods, and degradation pathways involved are not fully understood. Therefore, we reviewed current literature on ClO2-based oxidation in micropollutant abatement. In direct ClO2 oxidation, the reactions of micropollutants with ClO2 followed second-order reaction kinetics (kapp = 10−3–106 M−1 s−1 at neutral pH). The kapp depends significantly on the molecular structures of the micropollutant and solution pH. The reactive sites of micropollutants start with certain functional groups with the highest electron densities including piperazine, sulfonyl amido, amino, aniline, pyrazolone, phenol groups, urea group, etc. The one-electron transfer was the dominant micropollutant degradation pathway, followed by indirect oxidation by superoxide anion radical (O2•−) or hydroxyl radical (•OH). In UV-activated ClO2 oxidation, the reactions of micropollutants followed the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics with the rates of 1.3 × 10−4–12.9 s−1 at pH 7.0. Their degradation pathways include direct ClO2 oxidation, direct UV photolysis, ozonation, •OH-involved reaction, and reactive chlorine species (RCS)-involved reaction. Finally, we identified the research gaps and provided recommendations for further research. Therefore, this review gives a critical evaluation of ClO2-based oxidation in micropollutant abatement, and provides recommendations for further research.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been increasingly studied and practiced for micropollutant abatement in drinking water treatment and potable water reuse. This study conducted the multi-angle comparison of the UV/chlorine, UV/monochloramine (UV/NH2Cl), and UV/chlorine dioxide (UV/ClO2) AOPs with respect to reactive species generation, micropollutant degradation, byproduct formation, and toxicity change. The concentrations of radicals (HO·, Cl·, and ClO·) generated in the three AOPs followed the order of UV/chlorine > UV/NH2Cl > UV/ClO2 at an oxidant dose of 70 μM, an irradiation wavelength of 254 nm, and a pH of 7.5. The concentration of ozone generated in the UV/ClO2 AOP was higher than that in the UV/chlorine AOP, while ozone was not generated in the UV/NH2Cl AOP. The effects of pH (pH 6.0, 7.5, and 9.0) and UV wavelength (254 nm, 285 nm, and 300 nm) on the three AOPs were evaluated and compared. Using the radical and ozone concentrations determined in this study, the pseudo-first-order degradation rate constants of 24 micropollutants by the three AOPs were predicted and compared. When the three AOPs were used to treat the water containing the same concentration of natural organic matter, the formation of total organic chlorine (TOCl) and the organic byproduct-associated toxicity followed the same order of UV/chlorine > UV/NH2Cl > UV/ClO2. On the contrary, the inorganic byproduct-associated toxicity followed the order of UV/ClO2 > UV/chlorine > UV/NH2Cl, due to the high concentrations of chlorite and chlorate formed in the UV/ClO2 AOP. Findings in this study offer fundamental information useful for the selection and operation of AOPs for micropollutant abatement in drinking water treatment and potable water reuse.

Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are increasingly used for the degradation of micropollutants in water and wastewater. This study reports a novel UVA/chlorine dioxide (ClO2) AOP based on the photolysis of ClO2 using energy-efficient UV radiation sources in the UVA range (e.g., UVA-LEDs). At a ClO2 dosage of 74 μM (5.0 mg L-1 as ClO2) and a UV fluence at 47.5 mJ cm-2, the UVA365/ClO2 AOP generated a spectrum of reactive species, including chlorine oxide radicals (ClO•), chlorine atoms (Cl•), hydroxyl radicals (HO•), and ozone at a concentration of ∼10-13, ∼10-15, ∼10-14, and ∼10-7 M, respectively. A kinetic model to simulate the reactive species generation in the UVA365/ClO2 AOP was established, validated against the experimental results, and used to predict the pseudo-first-order rate constants and relative contributions of different reactive species to the degradation of 19 micropollutants in the UVA365/ClO2 AOP. Compared to the well-documented UVC254/chlorine AOP, the UVA365/ClO2 AOP produced similar levels of reactive species at similar oxidant dosages but was much less pH-dependent and required much lower energy input, with much lower formation of chloro-organic byproducts and marginal formation of chlorite and chlorate.
