Activation of peroxymonosulfate by novel magnetically recyclable CoFe 2O 4/MXene quantum dots composites for rapid degradation of tetracycline: Synergistic performance and mechanisms. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 370:122398. [PMID: 39244931 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.122398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024]
Abstract
Tetracycline (TC), a commonly used antibiotic in wastewater, poses environmental and health risks, thus demanding advanced catalysts for its effective removal. In this work, for the first time, we integrated cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) and MXene quantum dots (MQDs) to form magnetic heterojunctions for rapid degradation of TC in the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Anchoring MQDs on the CoFe2O4 nanoparticles remarkably promoted the overall degradation rate of TC to 98.2% within 20 min via both radical and non-radical pathways. The first-order kinetic constant was 0.170 min-1, 3.5 and 15.5 times higher than that of CoFe2O4 and MQDs alone, respectively. Quenching experiments revealed that the addition of p-benzoquinone (p-BQ) and furfuryl alcohol (FFA) reduced the degradation of TC within 20 min to 56.2% and 28.4%, respectively, indicating that the primary reactive oxygen species for TC degradation in the CoFe2O4/MQDs + PMS system are •O2- and 1O2. CoFe2O4/MQDs also exhibited superparamagnetic property, which enabled their effective recovery by external magnetic field. Their reusability was verified by retaining 81.4% of catalytic efficacy in the consecutive 8th cycle. The CoFe2O4/MQDs + PMS system also exhibited excellent practicability in natural water samples as the degradation rates in both tap water and lake water environments exceeded 90%. Three potential pathways for TC degradation were proposed based on the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) characterizations and TC progressively transformed into 13 intermediates. This work may contribute to the ongoing efforts to develop advanced catalysts and strategies for mitigating the environmental impact of antibiotic pollution, offering a pathway toward sustainable and efficient water treatment technologies.

Abstract
Metronidazole (MNZ), a commonly used antibiotic, poses risks to water bodies and human health due to its potential carcinogenic, mutagenic, and genotoxic effects. In this study, mesoporous cobalt-manganese layered double hydroxides (CoxMny-LDH) with abundant oxygen vacancies (Ov) were successfully synthesized using the co-precipitation method and used to activate calcium sulfite (CaSO3) with slight soluble in water for MNZ degradation. The characterization results revealed that Co2Mn-LDH had higher specific areas and exhibited good crystallinity. Co2Mn-LDH/CaSO3 exhibited the best catalytic performance under optimal conditions, achieving a remarkable MNZ degradation efficiency of up to 98.1 % in only 8 min. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests showed that SO4•- and 1O2 played pivotal roles in the MNZ degradation process by activated CaSO3, while the redox cycles of Co2+/Co3+ and Mn3+/Mn4+ on the catalyst surface accelerated electron transfer, promoting radical generation. Three MNZ degradation routes were put forward based on the density functional theory (DFT) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (LC-MS) analysis. Meanwhile, the toxicity analysis result demonstrated that the toxicity of intermediates post-catalytic reaction was decreased. Furthermore, the Co2Mn-LDH/CaSO3 system displayed excellent stability, reusability, and anti-interference capability, and achieved a comparably high removal efficiency across various organic pollutant water bodies. This study provides valuable insights into the development and optimization of effective heterogeneous catalysts for treating antibiotic-contaminated wastewater.

Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) could be activated by either radical path or non-radical path, how to rationally mediate these two routines was an important unresolved issue. This work has introduced a simple way to address this problem via metal atom doping. It was found that Fe-doped nitrogen-rich graphitic carbon nitride (Fe-C3N5) exhibited high activity towards PMS activation for tetracycline degradation, and the degradation rate was 3.14 times higher than that of Co-doped nitrogen-rich graphitic carbon nitride (Co-C3N5). Radical trapping experiment revealed the contributions of reactive species over two catalysts were different. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis further uncovered the non-radical activation path played a dominated role on Fe-C3N5 surface, while the radical activation path was the main routine on Co-C3N5 surface. Density functional theory calculations, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, and electrochemical experiments provided convincing evidence to support these views. This study supplied a novel method to mediate PMS activation path via changing the doped metal atom in g-C3N5 skeleton, and it allowed us to better optimize the PMS activation efficiency.

Abstract
Bismuth-iron semiconductor materials have been widely studied in the photocatalytic field due to their excellent light responsiveness. Among them, the potential and mechanism regarding photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants by Bi2Fe4O9 are seriously ignored. In this research, Bi2Fe4O9/reduced graphene oxide (BFO/rGO) was successfully synthesized for tetracycline (TC) removal. Under visible light irradiation, the TC degradation efficiency reached 83.73% within 60 min, which was much higher than that of pure BFO or rGO. The impacts of crucial factors (TC initial concentration, humic acid concentration, pH value and inorganic anions) were systematically analyzed. The photoelectric performance experiments indicated that the addition of rGO decreased the electron-hole pair recombination efficiency and improved the charge transfer efficiency, thus significantly enhancing the photocatalytic performance. According to quenching experiments and EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) analysis, superoxide radical (•O2-) and hole (h+) were determined as the main active species during degradation reactions. Eventually, the possible degradation routes of TC were presented by identifying intermediates.

Abstract
Photocatalysts immobilized on hydrogels is a win-win mode, which not only improves photocatalysis but also successfully prevents catalyst loss, making it easy to separate and reuse during catalytic process. Here, ZnO-Ti3C2TX photocatalysts are loaded into the chitosan/polyacrylic acid hydrogel networks, realizing the efficiently photocatalytic degradation of norfloxacin. The chitosan-based composite hydrogel features rich functional groups and a dense pore structure, which is beneficial to antibiotic enrichment and photocatalytic degradation. The effects of different catalyst ratios, dosage, initial concentrations and pH on the degradation efficiency are investigated. The norfloxacin degradation rate constant is 0.012 min-1 and its degradation efficiency reaches up to 90 % after 240 min. Importantly, the photocatalytic composite hydrogel still retains 85 % degradation efficiency after 6 cycles. Moreover, e- plays a significant role in the degradation process. This work converts the traditional powder photocatalysts into bulk photocatalysts (photocatalytic hydrogels) to accomplish efficient degradation and rapid recycling for contaminant removal.

Abstract
The ubiquity of various organic micropollutants in global water and wastewater has raised considerable concern about their cost-efficient elimination. This study reported that the novel UV365/FeTiOX/S(IV) system could accomplish superior abatement of different micropollutants (e.g., carbamazepine, CMZ) in 30-45 min with excellent reusability and stability of FeTiOX. In addition, this system functioned effectively to remove roxarsone and As(III)/As(V) by catalytic oxidation and adsorption, respectively. Mechanistic investigations suggested the dual roles of S(IV) in enhancing pollutant oxidation, i.e., promoted Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle and photocatalysis. These processes facilitated the continuous generation of multiple oxidizing intermediates (e.g., hydroxyl radicals, sulfate radicals, and singlet oxygen), in which the last one was first proposed as the main contributor in iron-mediated S(IV)-based oxidation processes. Based on the product identification, the transformation pathways of four different micropollutants were tentatively unraveled. The in silico prediction suggested the lower environmental risks of the final reaction products than the precursors. Particularly, the structural alteration of humic acid was analyzed, indicating an increased O/C ratio after oxidative treatment. Overall, this study has implications for developing an efficient oxidation technique for removing multiple micropollutants in water and facilitating the mechanistic reactivity modulation of the S(IV)-based oxidation strategies in water treatment.

Abstract
Copper-manganese composite metal oxides (CuMnOy) were prepared by hydrolysis-driven oxidation-reduction method and used to activate sulfite to degrade chlortetracycline hydrochloride (CTC) for the first time. The Jahn-Teller ions Mn3+ and Cu2+ exist in CuMnOy, which form a solid electric charge transport redox system and ensure the continuous generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Through the systematic study of the experimental parameters such as sulfite concentration, catalyst metal molar ratio, catalyst amounts and initial pH, the optimal degradation rate of CTC could reach 91.74% within 10 min and 94.46% after 30 min. The major reactive radicals were determined by radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) trapping techniques, and it was confirmed that SO4•- and •O2- played a nonnegligible role in the process of degrading CTC. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that higher Fukui indices (f- and f0) of CTC sites are more vulnerable to free radical attack. CuMnOy has low CTC degradation intermediate toxicity, high catalytic performance, good anti-interference ability, reusability and stability, and possesses decent application potential in the actual water treatment field.

Abstract
This study investigates the mechanism behind the oxidation di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in marine sediment by coupling sulfite using biochar prepared from sorghum distillery residue (SDRBC). The rationale for this investigation stems from the need to seek effective methods for DEHP-laden marine sediment remediation. The aim is to assess the feasibility of sulfite-based advanced oxidation processes for treating hazardous materials such as DEHP containing sediment. To this end, the sediment in question was treated with 2.5 × 10-5 M of sulfite and 1.7 g L-1 of SDRBC700 at acidic pH. Additionally, the study demonstrated that the combination of SDRBC/sulfite with a bacterial system enhances DEHP removal. Thermostilla bacteria were enriched, highlighting their role in sediment treatment. This study concludes that sulfite-associated sulfate radicals-driven carbon advanced oxidation process (SR-CAOP) offers sustainable sediment pretreatment through the SDRBC/sulfite-mediated microbial consortium, in which the SO3•- and 1O2 were responsible for DEHP degradation. SDRBC/sulfite offers an effective and environmentally friendly method for removing DEHP. Further, these results can be targeted at addressing industry problems related to sediment treatment.

Abstract
Co-based catalysts play a crucial role in the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for degradation contaminants. However, the practical application of such catalysts is hindered by challenges like the self-aggregation of Co nanoparticles and leaching of Co2+. In this study, the Co-based catalyst Co-N/C@CL was synthesized from carboxymethylated lignin obtained by grafting abundant carboxymethyl groups into alkali lignin, in which the presence of these carboxymethyl groups enhanced its water solubility and allowed the formation of stable macromolecular complexes with Co2+. This catalyst exhibited a high specific surface area (521.8 m2·g-1) and a uniform distribution of Co nanoparticles. Consequently, the Co-N/C@CL/PMS system could completely remove 20 ppm tetracycline (TC) in 2 min at a rate of 2.404 min-1. Experimental results and DFT calculations revealed that the synergistic effect of lignin carbon and Co NPs accelerated the cleavage and electron transfer of OO bonds, thus promoting the formation of 1O2, OH and SO4-, with 1O2 emerging as the predominant contributor. Moreover, Co-N/C@CL displayed excellent cycling stability and low Co2+ leaching. This work not only provides a feasible strategy for the preparation of highly active and stable Co-based carbon materials but also offers a promising catalyst for the efficient degradation of TC.

Abstract
Lignin, the most abundant natural material, is considered as a low-value commercial biomass waste from paper mills and wineries. In an effort to turn biomass waste into a highly valuable material, herein, a new-type of hollow carbon nanospheres (HCNs) is designed and synthesized by pyrolysis of biomass dealkali lignin, as an efficient nanocatalyst for the elimination of antibiotics in complex water matrices. Detailed characterization shows that HCNs possess a hollow nanosphere structure, with abundant graphitic C/N and surface N and O-containing functional groups favorable for peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation. Among them, HCN-500 provides the maximum degradation rate (95.0%) and mineralization efficiency (74.4%) surpassing those of most metal-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in the elimination of oxytetracycline (OTC). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and high-resolution mass spectroscopy (HR-MS) were employed to reveal the possible degradation pathway of OTC elimination. In addition, the HCN-500/PDS system is also successfully applied to real antibiotics removal in complex water matrices (e.g. river water and tap water), with excellent catalytic performances.

Abstract
In this research, the degradation of different types of N-containing heterocycle (NHC) contaminants by Cu-OMS-2 via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation in an aqueous environment was investigated. First, the effects of different reaction parameters were optimized using benzotriazole (BTR) as the model contaminant, and the optimal reaction conditions were 8 mM PMS, 0.35 g/L Cu-OMS-2, and 30 °C. Nine different types of NHC contaminants were effectively degraded under these reaction conditions, and the degradation efficiencies and the mineralization rates of those NHCs were more than 68 and 46%, respectively. Moreover, the Cu-OMS-2/PMS process presented excellent performance at a wide pH ranging from 3.0 to 11.0 and in the presence of some representative anions (NO3- and SO42-) and dissolved organic matter (fumaric acid). The inhibition sequence of anions on BTR removal during the Cu-OMS-2/PMS process was H2PO4- > HCO3- > Cl- > CO32- > NO3- > SO42-. It was also found that 74.5 and 71.3% BTR degradation rates were achieved in actual water bodies, such as tap water and Yellow River water, respectively. Besides, the Cu-OMS-2 heterogeneous catalyst had excellent stability and reusability, and the degradation rate of BTR was still at 77.0% after 5 cycles. Finally, electron paramagnetic resonance analysis and scavenging tests showed that 1O2 and SO4- • were the primary reactive oxygen species. Accordingly, Cu-OMS-2 nanomaterial was an efficient and sustainable heterogeneous catalyst to activate PMS for the decontamination of BTR in water remediation.

Activation of periodate by N-doped iron-based porous carbon for degradation of sulfisoxazole: Significance of catalyst-mediated electron transfer mechanism. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 457:131790. [PMID: 37295335 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Periodate (PI) has recently been studied as an excellent oxidant in advanced oxidation processes, and its reported mechanism is mainly the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This work presents an efficient approach using N-doped iron-based porous carbon (Fe@N-C) to activate periodate for the degradation of sulfisoxazole (SIZ). Characterization results indicated the catalyst has high catalytic activity, stable structure, and high electron transfer activity. In terms of degradation mechanism, it is pointed out that the non-radical pathway is the dominant mechanism. In order to prove this mechanism, we have carried out scavenging experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis, salt bridge experiments and electrochemical experiments, which demonstrate the occurrence of mediated electron transfer mechanism. Fe@N-C could mediate the electron transfer from organic contaminant molecules to PI, thus improving the efficiency of PI utilization, rather than simply inducing the activation of PI through Fe@N-C. The overall results of this study provided a new understanding into the application of Fe@N-C activated PI in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Although remarkable progresses have been achieved in the exploration of new and efficient catalytic systems for efficient degradation of estriol, there are only very few available reports providing high mineralization of estriol. Hence, it is still a serious challenge to develop the novel and efficient methods for enhanced degradation and mineralization of estriol due to its serious threat to environment and human health. Herein, this study proposes a series of ZrO2 modified manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (ZrO2/OMS-2) nanocomposites as efficient catalysts for enhanced degradation and mineralization of estriol via PMS activation at 30 °C. Among them, ZrO2/OMS-2-27% provided the highest degradation efficiency (95%) and mineralization degrees (70.1%), which exceeded most reported catalytic systems, in the catalytic degradation of estriol. These quenching tests and EPR analysis had confirmed that O2•- and 1O2 were primary reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the ZrO2/OMS-2-27%/PMS system, contrary to the OMS-2/PMS system for which SO4•- and OH• are primary ROS. This might be due to the abundant O-containing surface functional groups of ZrO2/OMS-2-27%. This work not only provides a facile and high-efficiency methodology for the construction of Mn-based nanomaterial, but also proposes a new and efficient nano-catalyst for estriol removal.
