ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 357:124348. [PMID: 38936790 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Organochlorides and particularly chlorophenols are environmental pollutants that deserve special attention. Enzymatic membrane bioreactors may be alternatives for efficiently removing such hazardous organochlorides from aqueous solutions. We propose here a novel enzymatic membrane bioreactor comprising an ultrafiltration membrane GR81PP, electrospun fibers made of cellulose acetate, and laccase immobilized using an incubation and a fouling approach. Configurations of this biosystem exhibiting the highest catalytic activity were selected for removal of 2-chlorophenol and 4-chlorophenol from aqueous solution in an enzymatic membrane bioreactor under various process conditions. The highest removal of chlorophenols, at 88% and 74% for 2-chlorophenol and 4-chlorophenol, respectively, occurred at pH 5 and 30 ºC in the GR81PP/cellulose acetate/laccase biosystem with enzyme immobilized by the fouling method. Furthermore, the GR81PP/cellulose acetate/laccase biosystem with enzyme immobilized by the fouling method exhibited significant reusability and storage stability compared with the biosystem with laccase immobilized by the incubation method. The mechanism of enzyme immobilization is based on pore blocking and cake-layer formation, while the mechanism of chlorophenols removal was identified as a synergistic combination of membrane separation and enzymatic conversion. The importance of the conducted research is due to efficient removal of hazardous organochlorides using a novel enzymatic membrane bioreactor. The study demonstrates the biosystem's high catalytic activity, reusability, and stability, offering a promising solution for environmental pollution control.

Abstract
Textile and medical effluents causing bioaccumulation and biomagnification have been successfully biodegraded by fungal laccases. Here, a decision-making tool was developed and applied to evaluate 45 different laccase production strategies which determined the best potential source from a techno-economical perspective. Laccase production cost was calculated with a fixed output of 109 enzymatic units per batch (USD$per109U) and a sensitivity analysis was performed. Results indicate that optimization of enzymatic kinetics for each organism is essential to avoid exceeding the fermentation time point at which production titer reaches its peak and, therefore, higher production costs. Overall, the most cost-effective laccase-producing strategy was obtained when using Pseudolagarobasidium acaciicola with base production cost of USD $42.46 per 109 U. This works serves as platform for decision-making to find the optimal laccase production strategy based on techno-economic parameters.

Abstract
The elimination of dyes discharged from industrial wastewater into water bodies is crucial due to its detrimental effects on aquatic organisms and potential carcinogenic impact on human health. Various methods are employed for dye removal, but they often fall short in completely degrading the dyes and generating large amounts of suspended solids. Hence, there is a critical need for an efficient process that can achieve complete dye degradation with minimal waste emission. Among traditional water treatment approaches, photocatalysis stands out as a promising method for degrading diverse toxic and organic pollutants present in wastewater. In this review, the heterogeneous photocatalysis process is well explained for dye removal. This comprehensive review not only provides insightful illumination on the classification of dyes but also thoroughly explains various dye removal methods and the underlying mechanisms of photocatalysis. Furthermore, factors which effect the activity of the photocatalysis process are also explained in detail. Likewise, we categorized the heterogeneous photocatalyst in three generations and observed their activity for dye removal. This review also addresses the challenges and effectiveness of this promising field. Its primary aim is to offer a comprehensive overview of the photocatalytic degradation of pollution and to explore its potential for further future applications.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reactions with semiconductor-based photocatalysts have been investigated extensively for application to wastewater treatment, especially dye degradation, yet the interactions between different process parameters have rarely been reported due to their complicated reaction mechanisms. Hence, this study aims to discern the impact of each factor, and each interaction between multiple factors on reaction rate constant (k) using a decision tree model. The dyes selected as target pollutants were indigo and malachite green, and 5 different semiconductor-based photocatalysts with 17 different compositions were tested, which generated 34 input features and 1527 data points. The Boruta Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) feature selection for the 34 inputs found that 11 inputs were significantly important. The decision tree model exhibited for 11 input features with an R2 value of 0.94. The SHAP feature importance analysis suggested that photocatalytic experimental conditions, with an importance of 59%, was the most important input category, followed by atomic composition (39%) and physicochemical properties (2%). Additionally, the effects on k of the synergy between the metal cocatalysts and important experimental conditions were confirmed by two feature SHAP dependence plots, regardless of importance order. This work provides insight into the single and multiple factors that affect reaction rate and mechanism.

Abstract
The intimately coupled photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB), which combined the advantages of high oxidation capacity of photocatalysis and high mineralization rate of biodegradation, has demonstrated excellent removal performance in the degradation of azo dyes with highly toxic, refractory, mutagenic and carcinogenic. In order to explore the metagenomics mechanism of the ICPB system, a novel ICPB was prepared by coupling Rhodopseudomonas palustris (R. Palustris), carbon nanotube - silver modified titanium dioxide photocatalytic composite (CNT-Ag -TiO2, CAT) and sodium alginate (SA) (R. palustris/CAT@SA, R-CAT). Metagenomics sequencing was used to investigate the molecular mechanism of adaptation and degradation of dyes by photosynthetic microorganisms and the adaptive and synergistic interaction between photosynthetic microorganisms and photocatalyst. Experiments on the adaptability and degradability of photosynthetic microorganisms have proved that low concentration azo dyes could be utilized as carbon sources for growth of photosynthetic microorganisms. Metagenomics sequencing revealed that R. palustris was the main degrading bacterium in photosynthetic microorganisms and the functional genes related to carbohydrate metabolism, biological regulation and catalytic activity were abundant. It was found that the addition of photocatalyst significantly up-regulated the functional genes related to the catabolic process, electron transport, oxidoreductase activity and superoxide metabolism of organic matter in the photosynthetic microorganisms. Moreover, many key gene such as alpha-amylase, 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, aldehyde dehydrogenase enrichment in microbial basal metabolism, such as enoyl-CoA hydratase, malate dehydrogenase, glutathione S-transferase enrichment in degrading azo dyes and electron transport, and many key gene such as undecaprenyl-diphosphatase, carbon storage regulator, DNA ligase enrichment in response to dyes and photocatalysts were discovered. These findings would contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of degradation of dye wastewater by ICPB system, a series of genes was produced to adapt to environmental changes, and played synergistic role in terms of intermediate product degradation and electron transfer for degrading azo dyes. The photosynthetic microorganisms might be a promising microorganism for constructing ICPB system.

Abstract
Laccases have shown to be efficient biocatalysts for the removal of recalcitrant pollutants from wastewater. Thus, they catalyze the oxidation of a wide variety of organic compounds by reducing molecular oxygen to water. However, the use of free laccases holds several drawbacks such as poor reusability, high cost, low stability and sensitivity to different denaturing agents that may occur in wastewater. Such drawbacks can be circumvented by immobilizing laccase enzymes in/on solid carriers. Hence, during the last decades different approaches considering various techniques and solid carriers to immobilize laccase enzymes have been developed and tested for the removal of pollutants from wastewater. To scale up wastewater treatment bioprocesses, immobilized laccases are placed in different reactor configurations.

Abstract
Response surface methodology (RSM) is an effective tool for process optimization with multi-complex operational factors. The present work aims to model and optimize the photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) parameters of Reactive Red 195 (RR195) dye decoloration with the SiO2-supported Fe-Co catalyst (FCS) derived from a novel catalyst synthesis method, fluidized-bed crystallization (FBC) process, using Box-Behnken design (BBD) as the RSM statistical model. The Fe-Co@SiO2 catalyst was successfully fabricated using the FBC process, and it showed good catalytic activity and performance toward the degradation of RR195. The extent of the effects of pH, H2O2 dosage (HD), catalyst loading (CL), and operating time (t) on the decoloration of RR195 was studied. Hence, the order of variable significance follows the sequence: pH > t > CL > HD. pH has the most significant effect among the variables for RR195 decoloration. The decoloration efficiency predicted by the BBD model was 88.3% under the optimized operation conditions of initial pH of 3.15, 0.76 mM H2O2, 1.18 g L-1 FCS and 59.4 min of operating time. The actual decoloration efficiency was very close to the predicted value indicating that BBD can efficiently be utilized to optimize RR195 degradation with FCS under the PCO system.

Abstract
ZnS/CuFe2O4/MXene (ZSCFOM) composite with ternary heterostructures was prepared by solvothermal methods for the first time to effectively adsorb and photodegrade the azo dyes. ZSCFOM mainly adsorbed azo dyes through the hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, with saturated adsorption capacities of 377 mg g-1 for direct brown M and 390 mg g-1 for direct black RN. ZSCFOM exhibited both characteristics of Schott heterostructure and p-n heterostructure, but it is not a simple superposition of the two heterostructures, but rather achieves better photocatalytic property. ZSCFOM performed a higher separation efficiency of electrons and holes than pure CuFe2O4 and pure ZnS. Under visible light, ZSCFOM was more effective in removing the azo dyes than MXene, CuFe2O4, ZnS, CuFe2O4/MXene, ZnS/MXene, and ZnS/CuFe2O4. The migration pathways of photogenerated carriers in ZSCFOM were inferred as that the electrons were concentrated in MXene and conduction band of ZnS, and holes were gathered in valence band of CuFe2O4. MXene served as a cocatalyst to accelerate the separation of electrons and holes. ZSCFOM mainly degraded DBM and DBRN by catalyzing the generation of holes, superoxide radicals, and hydroxyl radicals. The 100% of 0.05 g L-1 azo dyes were removed by ZSCFOM within 30 min from the environmental water systems.

Abstract
Environmental concerns due to the release of industrial wastewater contaminated with dyes are becoming more and more intense with the increasing industrialization. Decolorization of industrial effluents has become the top priority due to the continuous demand for color-free discharge into the receiving water bodies. Different dye removal techniques have been developed, among which biodegradation by laccase enzyme is competitive. Laccase, as a green catalyst, has a high catalytic activity, generates less toxic by-products, and has been extensively researched in the field of remediation of dyes. However, laccase's significant catalytic activity could only be achieved after an effective immobilization step. Immobilization helps strengthen and stabilize the protein structure of laccase, thus enhancing its functional properties. Additionally, the reusability of immobilized laccase makes it an attractive alternative to traditional dye degradation technologies and in the realistic applications of water treatment, compared with free laccase. This review has elucidated different methods and the carriers used to immobilize laccase. Furthermore, the role of immobilized laccase in dye remediation and the prospects have been discussed.

Abstract
Textile dye wastewater has the characteristics of high concentration, complex composition and changeable color degree and pH, which is difficult to be effectively and completely treated, and easy to cause environmental pollution. Here, a strategy of secondary bond interface assembly of polyethyleneimine on zein microparticles (PEI) (PEI@zein) was constructed to achieve rapid and efficient removal of Reactive Black 5 (RB5), which is one of the most widely used reactive dyes in the textile industry. Structural analysis indicated that the as-prepared PEI layer immobilized on zein microparticles was constructed based on the interface assembly dominated by hydrophobic interactions and electrostatic attraction between PEI molecules and zein chains. The novel interface showed excellent absorption performance for RB5 with an absorption capacity of 631.0 mg·g-1, rapid adsorption in 2 min, wide pH range of 4-10. Mechanism analysis suggested the effective adsorption of RB5 by PEI@zein microparticles was mainly attributed to secondary bond interface such as electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bond between RB5 and PEI immobilized on the surface of zein microparticles. Moreover, due to the presence of secondary bond interface, RB5 adsorbed on microparticles can be easily desorbed by using 0.01 M NaOH. Therefore, the strategy of secondary bond interface assembly with polyethyleneimine on zein microparticles has high potential for practical application in the treatment of dye-containing wastewater.

Abstract
In this research, the non-thermal glow discharge plasma process was implemented to modify the surface of natural clinoptilolite zeolite before incorporation into the polyethersulfone (PES) membrane. The influence of plasma gas pressure variation on the fouling resistance and separation performance of the prepared membranes was studied. Fourier transform infrared, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses of the unmodified and modified clinoptilolites revealed the Si-OH-Al bond's development during plasma treatment and the change in surface characteristics. In terms of performance, increasing the plasma gas pressure during clinoptilolite treatment resulted in the twofold enhancement of water flux from 91.2 L/m2 h of bare PES to 188 L/m2 h of the membrane containing plasma-treated clinoptilolite at 1.0 Torr pressure. Meanwhile, the antifouling behavior of membranes was improved by introducing more hydrophilic functional groups derived from the plasma treatment process. Additionally, the enhanced dye separation of membranes was indicated by the separation of 99 and 94% of reactive green 19 and reactive red 195, respectively.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 303:135060. [PMID: 35644237 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Iron-carbon (Fe-C) microelectrolysis has attracted considerable attention in wastewater treatment due to its excellent ability to remove contaminants. Herein, novel Fe-C granules were synthesized by simple calcination method for removing organic contaminations, and a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method, namely pre-magnetization, was used to improve the micro-electrolysis performance of Fe-C. Batch experiments proved that premagnetized iron-carbon (pre-Fe-C) could significantly improve the removal of methyl orange (MO) at different Fe-C mass ratios (1:2-2:1), material dosages (1.0-2.5 g/L), initial pH values (3.0-5.0), and MO concentrations (10.0-50.0 mg/L). Electrochemical analysis showed that premagnetization could increase the current density and reduce the charge transfer resistance of the microelectrolysis system, making Fe-C more susceptible to electrochemical corrosion. Characterizations confirmed that the corrosion products of the materials included FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, and more corrosion products were formed in the pre-Fe-C system. Radical quenching experiments and electron spin resonance spectroscopy verified that •OH, 1O2, and O2-• were all involved in pollutant removal, and premagnetization could promote the generation of more reactive oxygen species. Overall, the pre-Fe-C process could effectively remove various organic pollutants, exhibit good adaptability to complex water environments, and hold potential for industrial applications.
