[PMID: 38278507 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118253] [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: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
A weak electric field (WEF, 2 mA cm-2) was employed to promote Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle on goethite-impregnated activated carbon (FeOOH@AC) filled in a continuous-flow column for enhanced Cr(VI) elimination from water. Surficial analysis and Cr species distribution showed that α-FeOOH of 0.2-1 μm was successfully synthesized and evenly loaded onto AC. Electron transfer from WEF to α-FeOOH was facilitated with AC as electron shuttles, thereby boosting Fe(III) reduction in the α-FeOOH. The generated Fe(II) reduced Cr(VI) and the resultant Cr(III) subsequently precipitated with OH- and Fe(III) to form Cr(OH)3 and (CrχFe1-χ)(OH)3. Therefore, the WEF-FeOOH@AC column exhibited a much lower Cr(VI) migration rate of 0.0018 cm PV-1 in comparison with 0.0037 cm PV-1 of the FeOOH@AC column, equal to 104 % higher Cr(VI) elimination capacity and 90 % longer column service life-span. Additionally, under different Cr(VI) loadings by varying either seepage velocities or influent Cr(VI) concentrations, the WEF-FeOOH@AC column maintained 1.0-1.5 folds higher Cr(VI) elimination and 0.9-1.4 folds longer longevity than those of the FeOOH@AC column owing to the interaction between FeOOH@AC and WEF. Our research demonstrated that WEF-FeOOH@AC was a potential method to promote Cr(VI) elimination from water and offer an effective strategy to facilitate Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle in iron oxides.

Exploring the mechanism of norfloxacin removal and active species evolution by coupling persulfate activation with biochar hybridized Fe 3O 4 composites. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 347:140666. [PMID: 37952816 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140666] [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: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
In situ growth of dispersed active sites on substrates is a strategy for designing highly efficient catalysts for sulfate radical (SO4•-)-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs). Here, magnetic biochar composite (Fe3O4/BC) was fabricated as an activator to trigger PDS (peroxydisulfate) for norfloxacin (NOR) removal, achieving reliable NOR removal efficiency (>90%) within 10 min. Based on the synergistic effect between Fe3O4 and BC, the removal rate increases to 0.0265 L mg-1 min-1. Fe3O4/BC exhibited decent adaptability, stability, and recyclability toward affecting factors variation during PDS activation, attributed to the synergistic effect between Fe3O4 and BC. The electron transfer of magnetic Fe3O4 coupled with the adsorption and conduction function of carbon skeleton, which overcomes typical problems as crystal agglomeration, metal leaching, and catalysts recovery etc. The electron-rich Fe(II) sites promote the radical pathway by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS, •OH, SO4•- and O2•-), and radicals evolution contributing to the form of 1O2 in non-radical pathway. Under the effect of multipath in NOR degradation, HPLC-QTOF-MS spectroscopy and DFT calculation revealed the possible degradation pathway of NOR. In addition, according to toxicity prediction, the overall NOR contamination toxicity of NOR was effectively alleviated by Fe3O4/BC + PDS system. Overall, this study presents a promising composite in PDS activation and views the active species evolution in the NOR removal system, which is crucial for mechanism study in relevant research in the future.

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
Pure zero-valent iron (ZVI) was supported on silica and starch to enhance the activation of persulfate (PS) for tetracycline degradation. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by microscopic and spectroscopic methods to assess their physical and chemical properties. High tetracycline removal (67.55%) occurred using silica modified ZVI (ZVI-Si)/PS system due to the improved hydrophilicity and colloidal stability of ZVI-Si. Incorporating light into the ZVI-Si/PS system improved the degradation performance by 9.45%. Efficient degradation efficiencies were recorded at pH 3-7. The optimum operating parameters determined by the response surface methodology were PS concentration of 0.22 mM, initial tetracycline concentration of 10 mg/L, and ZVI-Si dose of 0.46 g/L, respectively. The rate of tetracycline degradation declined with increasing tetracycline concentration. The degradation efficiencies of tetracycline were 77%, 76.4%, 75.7%, 74.5%, and 73.75% in five repetitive runs at pH 7, 20 mg/L tetracycline concentration, 0.5 g/L ZVI-Si dose, and 0.1 mM PS concentration. The degradation mechanism was explained, and sulfate radicals were the principal reactive oxygen species. The degradation pathway was proposed based on liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy. Tetracycline degradation was favorable in distilled and tap water. The ubiquitous presence of inorganic ions and dissolved organic matter in the lake, drain, and seawater matrices interfered with the tetracycline degradation. The high reactivity, degradation performance, stability, and reusability of ZVI-Si substantiate the potential practical application of this material for the degradation of real industrial effluents.

Abstract
A C@Fe3O4 material, Fe3O4 coated with carbon, was prepared by a simple one-pot hydrothermal method. The C@Fe3O4 material was investigated with persulfate (PS) and light to degrade tetracycline (TC) as a function of pH, aeration conditions and quenching. Experimental results suggest that TC was effectively degraded in the C@Fe3O4/PS/Vis system. In addition, due to the availability of different main active species in this catalytic system, TC degradation was possible under both strong acid and strong alkali pH conditions. The presence of dissolved oxygen can also generate oxygen-active species, such as superoxide radicals (O2•-) and singlet oxygen (1O2), to decompose TC organic matter in solution. Simply put, C@Fe3O4/PS/Vis catalytic system removed pollutants by the formation of O2•-, 1O2, hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and sulfate radicals (SO4•-) species for degrading TC. In addition, the stability of the C@Fe3O4 material was found to be outstanding.

Abstract
Some environmental problems caused by the intrusion of active drug ingredients, especially antibiotics, into water resources pose a serious threat. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is an antibiotic from the group of fluoroquinolones that is used extensively in the treatment of bacterial infections. The presence of drug residues in the environment, especially in water resources, is an essential issue due to their stability and nondegradability. This study is aimed at investigating the efficiency of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles and the effect of independent variables, including initial concentrations of CIP (35-80 mg/L), adsorbent doses (20–60 mg), and pH values (4–10) at reaction time (80 min) for the removal efficiency of CIP antibiotics based on the Box-Behnken design (BBD) method. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) results indicated that a quadratic model was convenient for modeling CIP removal. The first step, the coprecipitation method, was appropriate for the preparation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and developed as highly efficient adsorbents. Synthesized nanoparticles were later characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR). The results of XRD have shown that angles for the peaks at
, which corresponded to the crystal planes 220, 311, 400, 422, 511, 440, and 535, respectively, were consistent with standard peaks of magnetite and a cubic face structure. The obtained results indicated that the CIP removal efficiency was 74.44% under optimum operation parameters: initial concentration of CIP 44.15 (mg/L), adsorbent dosage of 59.6 (mg),
, and contact time of 80 min. In fact, a cooperative agreement between model prediction and experimental data using BBD with significant
values of 0.95 was observed. Based on the results, magnetite nanoparticles have an excellent ability to remove antibiotics from an aqueous phase.

Abstract
Crude oil contamination severely deteriorates soils quality. Bioremediation utilizing soil indigenous organisms could be employed to decompose petroleum hydrocarbons thanks to its low cost and minor environmental disturbance. However, slow kinetics limit the successful application of this biotechnique. Pretreating oil-contaminated soils with Fenton pre-oxidation could accelerate the subsequent bioremediation process. This study was to explore the mechanisms behind the rapid propagation of indigenous petroleum-degrading bacteria (IPDB) and the efficient degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in soil after Fenton pre-oxidation with biostimulated iron. Biostimulated iron and non-biostimulated iron were used in the experiments, where Fenton pre-oxidation was combined with the bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil (TPH = 13221 mg/kg). Although the amount of Fenton pre-oxidized TPH (3331-3775 mg/kg) was similar with biostimulated and non-biostimulated irons, the biodegradation of TPH after Fenton pre-oxidation with biostimulated iron (5840 mg/kg) was much higher than that with non-biostimulated iron (3034-4034 mg/kg). Moreover, abundant nutrients and a high population of residual IPDB were found after Fenton pre-oxidation with biostimulated iron, which benefited stable consumption of NH3-N and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by IPDB during the subsequent bioremediation. However, Fenton pre-oxidation with non-biostimulated iron either resulted in greater damage to IPDB or produced fewer nutrients, thereby failing to ensure the continuous propagation of IPDB during the subsequent bioremediation. Therefore, we propose that Fenton pre-oxidation with biostimulated iron should be applied to heavily oil-contaminated soils prior to bioremediation.

Abstract
The long-alkanes biodegradation rate was generally found slow during widely used pre-oxidation combined with biodegradation for oil contamination treatment, resulting in long and unsustainable removal. In this study, different chitosan content was used to produce iron catalysts for pre-oxidation, and nutrients were added for the long-alkanes biodegradation experiment. Mechanism of Fenton pre-oxidation and improvement in the biodegradation rate of long-alkanes were studied by analyzing the change in organic matter and bacterial community structure, the amount and activity of bacteria in the biological stage, and the degradation amount long-alkanes hydrocarbon before and after pre-oxidation. Results showed that the destruction of bacteria greatly reduced when hydroxyl radical intensity decreased to 4.40 a.u.. Also, the proportion of humic acid-like was high (40.88%), and the community structure was slightly changed with the pre-oxidation for the fast biodegradation (FB) group. In the subsequent biodegradation, it was found that the degradation rate of each long-alkanes in the FB group increased significantly (C30: 4.18-8.32 mg/(kg·d)) with the increase of the degradation of long-alkanes (10-50%). Further studies showed that the high nutrient dynamics (6.05 mg/(kg·d)) of the FB group resulted in high bacteria performance rate (0.53 mol CO2 × log CFU/(104 g2 d)), which further accelerated the substrate transformation(41%). Therefore, the biodegradation rate of long-alkanes was increased (43.8 mg/(kg·d)) with the removal rate of long-alkanes of 76%. The half-life of long-alkanes for the FB group (64 d) was 33 d shorter than the slow biodegradation group (99 d). These results exhibited that pre-oxidation regulation can shorten the bioremediation cycle by improving the biodegradation rate of long-alkanes. This research has good engineering application value.

[PMID: 34509810 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.113569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2021] [Revised: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/19/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotics overuse, inappropriate conduct, and discharge have led to adverse effects on various ecosystems. The occurrence of antibiotics in surface and drinking water is a matter of global concern. It is responsible for multiple disorders, including disruption of endocrine hormones and high chronic toxicity. The hospitals, pharmaceutical industries, households, cattle farms, and aquaculture are the primary discharging sources of antibiotics into the environment. This review provides complete detail on applying different nanomaterials or nanoparticles for the efficient removal of antibiotics from the diverse ecosystem with a broader perspective. Efforts have been made to focus on the degradation pathways and mechanism of antibiotic degradation using nanomaterials. More light has been shed on applying nanostructures in photocatalysis, which would be an economical and efficient solution. The nanoscale material or nanoparticles have incredible potential for mineralizing pharmaceutical compounds in aqueous solutions at low cost, easy handling characteristics, and high efficacy. Furthermore, nanoparticles can absorb the pharmaceutical by-products and wastes at a minimum cost as they can be easily recycled. With the increasing number of research in this direction, the valorization of pharmaceutical wastes and by-products will continue to expand as we progress from old conventional approaches towards nanotechnology. The utilization of nanomaterials in pharmaceutical wastewater remediation is discussed with a major focus on valorization, energy generation, and minimization and its role in the circular economy creating sustainable development.

Effect of UV C and UV A Photocatalytic Processes on Tetracycline Removal Using CuS-Coated Magnetic Activated Carbon Nanocomposite: A Comparative Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph182111163. [PMID: 34769682 PMCID: PMC8582642 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph182111163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2021] [Revised: 10/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
In this study, we synthesized a novel MAC nanocomposite using almond’s green hull coated with CuS. The whole set of experiments have been conducted inside a batch (discontinuous reactor system) at room temperature. The effectiveness of different parameters in tetracycline removal pH (3, 5, 7, and 9), pollutant concentration (5–100 mg/L), nanocomposite dosage (0.025–1 g/L), and contact time (5–60 min) using newly synthesized nanocomposite were investigated. Based on the results, in the optimal conditions of pH = 9, nanocomposite dosage of 1 g/L, pollutant concentration of 20 mg/L, contact time of 60 min, and room temperature, 95% removal efficiency was obtained. In MAC/CuS/UVC process, the removal of COD and TOC were 76.89% and 566.84% respectively meanwhile, these values in MAC/CuS/UVA process were 74.19% and 62.11%, respectively. The results of nanocomposite stability and magnetic recovery illustrated that the removal efficiency was reduced by 1.5% in the presence of UVC and 5% in the presence of UVA lights during all six cycles. Therefore, this nanocomposite was highly capable of recycling and reuse. It can be concluded that considering the high potential of the synthesized nanocomposite, the photocatalytic efficiency of the MAC/CuS/UVC process in tetracycline synthesis was higher than MAC/CuS/UVA process.

Abstract
The influence of variable reaction time (tr) on surface/textural properties (surface area, total pore volume, and pore diameter) of carbon-encapsulated magnetite (Fe3O4@C) nanocomposites fabricated by a hydrothermal process at 190 °C for 3, 4, and 5 h was studied. The properties were calculated using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) isotherms data. The nanocomposites were characterised using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, thermogravimetry, and scanning and transmission electron microscopies. Analysis of variance shows tr has the largest effect on pore volume (F value = 1117.6, p value < 0.0001), followed by the surface area (F value = 54.8, p value < 0.0001) and pore diameter (F value = 10.4, p value < 0.001) with R2-adjusted values of 99.5%, 88.5% and 63.1%, respectively. Tukey and Fisher tests confirmed tr rise to have caused increased variations in mean particle sizes (11-91 nm), crystallite sizes (5-21 nm), pore diameters (9-16 nm), pore volume (0.017-0.089 cm3 g-1) and surface area (7.6-22.4 m2 g-1) of the nanocomposites with individual and simultaneous confidence limits of 97.9 and 84.4 (p-adj < 0.05). The nanocomposites' retained Fe-O vibrations at octahedral (436 cm-1) and tetrahedral (570 cm-1) cubic ferrite sites, modest thermal stability (37-60 % weight loss), and large volume-specific surface area with potential for catalytic application in advanced oxidation processes.

Abstract
This study presents a strategy to remove tetracycline by using magnetite-activated persulfate. Magnetite (Fe3O4) was synthesized at high purity levels-as established via X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, and N2 sorption analyses-and tetracycline was degraded within 60 min in the presence of both magnetite and persulfate (K2S2O8), while the use of either substance yielded limited degradation efficiency. The effects of magnetite and persulfate dosage, the initial concentration of tetracycline, and the initial pH on the oxidative degradation of tetracycline were interrogated. The results demonstrate that the efficiency of tetracycline removal increased in line with magnetite and persulfate dosage. However, the reaction rate increased only when increasing the magnetite dosage, not the persulfate dosage. This finding indicates that magnetite serves as a catalyst in converting persulfate species into sulfate radicals. Acidic conditions were favorable for tetracycline degradation. Moreover, the effects of using a water matrix were investigated by using wastewater treatment plant effluent. Comparably lower removal efficiencies were obtained in the effluent than in ultrapure water, most likely due to competitive reactions among the organic and inorganic species in the effluent. Increased concentrations of persulfate also enhanced removal efficiency in the effluent. The tetracycline degradation pathway through the magnetite/persulfate system was identified by using a liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometer. Overall, this study demonstrates that heterogeneous Fenton reactions when using a mixture of magnetite and persulfate have a high potential to control micropollutants in wastewater.

Abstract
Magnetic field (MF) has been applied widely and successfully as an efficient, low-cost and easy-to-use technique to enhance wastewater treatment (WWT) performance. Although the effects of MF on WWT were revealed and summarized by some works, they are still mysterious and complex. This review summarizes the application of MF in magnetic adsorption-separation of heavy metals and dyes, treatment of domestic wastewater and photo-magnetic coupling technology. Furthermore, the mechanisms of MF-enhanced WWT are critically elaborated from the perspective of magnetic physicochemical and biological effects, such as magnetoresistance, Lorentz force, and intracellular radical pair mechanism. At last, the challenges and opportunities for MF application in WWT are discussed. For overcoming the limitations and taking advantages of MFs in WWT, fundamental research of the mechanisms of the application of MFs should be carried out in the future.

Abstract
The present work aims to evaluate the treatment of the effluent from the textile industry via advanced oxidative processes of photo-Fenton assisted by different sources (natural sunlight, UV-A or visible LED lamps). To identify the best operating conditions, a factorial design was carried out for each process. It was observed that after the optimization of the processes, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removals greater than 88% were achieved. In addition, it was observed that the use of the LED lamp required lower reagent concentrations compared to solar and UV-A sources. A kinetic study was carried out under the best conditions obtained and it was observed that the sources showed rapid evolution, reaching a COD removal equilibrium with 30 min of reaction. Reagent monitoring was also carried out, and it was observed that they were not limiting to the reaction. Phytotoxicity analysis was also satisfactory since the treated effluents allowed a higher relative growth and germination index of the cucumber roots compared to the raw effluent. Finally, the cost analysis indicated that the use of LED lamps resulted in a reduction in electrical consumption compared to the UV-A lamp, as well as a reduction in the cost of reagents due to the lower concentration of reagents required compared to processes assisted by natural sunlight and UV-A.

Abstract
Aniline is a toxic chemical, and in many industries it is degraded by Fenton processes. In this study, an Fe(II)-nano-Fe3O4@PAC heterogeneous Fenton catalyst (MFC) was prepared with a coprecipitation and impregnation method, which is simple, efficient and cost effective. The results of the magnetic performance tests showed that the MFC has typical ferromagnetism properties. Nano-Fe3O4 was found both on the surface and inside the pores of the powdered activated carbon (PAC). MFC was found to be an efficient catalyst in the Fenton-like process for aniline degradation. The optimal conditions were obtained by the orthogonal experimental method. The results showed that under the optimal conditions (pH = 3.00, temperature = 20°C, concentration of MFC = 1.0 g/L, concentration of H2O2 = 0.27 g/L), the 5 mg/L aniline solution degradation ratio reached 91.2% and the mineralization ratio reached 75.77% in 30 min. In addition, kinetics studies indicated that the aniline degradation process follows a pseudo-first-order kinetics model. No refractory intermediate such as azobenzene, was found during the reaction. The pH value is an important factor in aniline solution degradation. This result indicates that in addition to the surface catalytic reaction, the Fenton reaction also occurs in solution. Fe2+/Fe3+ on the MFC surface and Fe2+/Fe3+ in solution both affect aniline degradation. This catalyst has the advantage of being easily magnetically separated from the aqueous phase. It has useful application prospects in solving organic industrial wastewater pollutions in developing countries because of its cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
Antibiotics and pharmaceuticals related products are used to enhance public health and quality of life. The wastewater that is produced from pharmaceutical industries still contains noticeable amount of antibiotics, and this has remained one of the major environmental problems facing public health. The conventional wastewater remediation approach employed by the pharmaceutical industries for the antibiotics wastewater removal is unable to remove the antibiotics completely. Besides, municipal and livestock wastewater also contain unmetabolized antibiotics released by human and animal, respectively. The antibiotic found in wastewater leads to antibiotic resistance challenges, also emergence of superbugs. Currently, numerous technological approaches have been developed to remove antibiotics from the wastewater. Therefore, it was imperative to critically review the weakness and strength of these current advanced technological approaches in use. Besides, the conventional methods for removal of antibiotics such as Klavaroti et al., Homem and Santos also discussed. Although, membrane treatment is discovered as the ultimate choice of approach, to completely remove the antibiotics, while the filtered antibiotics are still retained on the membrane. This study found, hybrid processes to be the best solution antibiotics removal from wastewater. Nevertheless, real-time monitoring system is also recommended to ascertain that, wastewater is cleared of antibiotics.

WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2020; 92:2049-2059. [PMID: 32474955 DOI: 10.1002/wer.1365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2020] [Revised: 05/15/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
In this study, UV-LED was employed as a novel light source to investigate the degradation of a representative antibiotic compound, chloramphenicol (CAP), in the absence or presence of H2 O2 . The UV-LED irradiation showed a higher capability for degradation of CAP than conventional UV-Hg vapor lamps. Effects of the initial CAP concentration, UV wavelength, and light intensity on the degradation of CAP by UV-LED were evaluated. Introduction of H2 O2 evidently enhanced the degradation efficiency of CAP due to the production of reactive hydroxyl radicals. Results showed that the UV-LED/H2 O2 removed CAP by up to 95% within 60 min at pH 5.0, which was twice as that achieved by the UV-LED alone. The degradation products were identified to propose plausible degradation pathways. Moreover, the formation potentials of typical carbonaceous disinfection by-products (C-DBPs) and nitrogenous disinfection by-products (N-DBPs) were assessed for the CAP polluted water treated by the UV-LED alone and UV-LED/H2 O2 processes. Results indicate unintended formation of certain DBPs, thereby highlighting the importance of health risk assessments before practical application. This study opens a new avenue for developing environment-friendly and high-performance UV-LED photocatalytic reactors for abatement of CAP pollution in water. PRACTITIONER POINTS: UV-LED bore higher capability to degrade CAP than low-pressure Hg lamp. The optimal performance to degrade CAP can be achieved at the UV wavelength of 280 nm. The degradation efficiency under UV-LED/H2 O2 process was double of that under UV-LED process. TCM, DCAN, and TCNM formation were higher under the existence of UV-LED radiation. The addition of H2 O2 had greater influence on the formation of DCAcAm than the introduction of UV-LED.

Abstract
The present work compared electrocoagulation (EC)/pecan shell (PS) coupling process with a simple electrocoagulation (EC) process for the removal of tetracyclines (TCs). The results indicated that the addition of appropriate PS could lead to the enhancement of the removal efficiency and decrease of operating time via synergistic influence, including conventional EC process, biomass materials adsorption, charge neutralization and coordination adsorption. The ideal condition for the coupling process was 2.5 mA/cm2 for current density and 3 cm for plate spacing. Based on the optimum condition, when the dosage of PS was 5 g/L, the initial concentration of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC), oxytetracycline hydrochloride (OTC) and chlortetracycline hydrochloride (CTC) was 250 mg/L, the removal rate of PS was 55.90%, 45.10% and 14.98% higher than those of EC process after 40 min treatment. In addition, compared to conventional EC process, the unit energy demand (UED) decreased by 49.62%, 53.2 4% and 26.35% and the unit electrode material demand (UEMD) decreased by 49.80%, 85.65% and 44.37%, respectively, which means more energy conservation and environmental protection.

Abstract
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has been classified as a priority pollutant which increased the healthy risk to human and animals dramatically. Hence, a novel biochemical system combined by DEHP-resistant bacterial flora (B) and a green oxidant of persulfate (PS) activated by Nano-Fe3O4 was applied to degrade DEHP in contaminated soil. In this study, the resistant bacterial flora was screened from activated sludge and immobilized by sodium alginate (SAB). Nano-Fe3O4 was coated on biochar (BC@Fe3O4) to prevent agglomerating in soil. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were utilized to characterize BC@Fe3O4. Results demonstrated that the treatment of biochemical system (SAB + BC@Fe3O4 + PS) presented the maximum degradation rate about 92.56% within 24 days of incubation and improved soil microecology. The 16S rDNA sequences analysis of soil microorganisms showed a significantly different abundance and a similar diversity among different treatments. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional genes difference analysis showed that some metabolic pathways, such as metabolism of cofactors and vitamins, energy metabolism, cell growth and death, replication and repair, were associated with the biodegradation of DEHP. Besides, DEHP was converted to MEHP and PA by biodegradation, while DEHP was converted to DBP and PA by persulfate and BC@Fe3O4, and then ultimately degraded to CO2 and H2O.

Abstract
The development of novel, noble metal-free semiconductor catalysts with high efficiency is of great importance for the degradation of organic compounds. Among them, amorphous materials have been extensively studied for their unique and commercially useful properties. Here, a completely amorphous, noble metal-free photocatalyst C3N4ZnxOy (x, y = 0.32–1.10) was successfully synthesized from urea and ZnO by a simple high-temperature polymerization method. As the Zn content increased, the short-range ordered structures of the amorphous samples were still retained, as revealed by XPS, FTIR, and ssNMR. Meanwhile, the -CN3 structures were observed to be gradually destroyed, which may make the amorphous state more favorable for photocatalytic reactions. Compared with g-C3N4, the amorphous samples showed significantly reduced intensities in the photoluminescence spectra, indicating that the recombination rate of the photo-generated charge carriers was greatly reduced. It was confirmed that the optimized sample (C3N4Zn0.61O0.61) achieved a photocatalytic efficiency of 86.1% in the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride under visible light irradiation within 1 h. This is about 2 times higher than that of both g-C3N4 and ZnO. This study emphasizes the importance of the amorphous structure in photocatalytic reactions, and this synthetic strategy may provide an effective model for designing other novel catalysts.

Abstract
Poly-silicate-ferric (PSF) was developed as an heterogeneous UV-Fenton catalyst, which was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The catalytic process of PSF and generation mechanism of hydroxyl radical based on photo-Fenton system were studied in detail. In the heterogeneous UV-Fenton system, the kapp value of Orange II degradation was as high as 0.268 min-1, which was 1.5 times compared to that with α-FeOOH as catalyst. As a result, the Orange II decolouration and mineralization rates were as high as 99.9% and 92.5% after 40 min treatment, respectively. Moreover, the hydroxyl radical concentration would increase to a peak value of 13.4 μmol/L at about 15 min. The fundamental cause of the high hydroxyl radical generation lay in the high release ability of iron ions from PSF. The peak concentrations of total iron ions and ferrous ions could increase to 4.53 mg/L and 1.57 mg/L at 20 min and 10 min, respectively. After treatment, the re-adsorption of iron ions on the surface of PSF could avoid the additional pollution caused by iron ions. The results confirmed that PSF was a high activity catalyst for an heterogeneous UV-Fenton system.

Abstract
In this research, the degradation of the insecticide diazinon was studied using a new hybrid catalyst consisting of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (nano-MgO), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and graphite (Gr), nano-MgO@CNT@Gr, under various experimental conditions. This study shows the optimization of the nano-MgO@CNT@Gr/O3 process for diazinon degradation in aqueous solutions. Box–Behnken experimental design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were used to assess and optimize the solo effects and interactions of four variables, pH, catalyst loading, reaction time, and initial diazinon concentration, during the nano-MgO@CNT@Gr/O3 process. Analysis of regression revealed an adequate fit of the experimental results with a quadratic model, with R2 > 0.91. Following the collection of analysis of variance (ANOVA) results, pH, catalyst loading, and reaction time were seen to have significant positive effects, whereas the concentration of diazinon had a considerable negative impact on diazinon removal via catalytic ozonation. The four variables for maximum diazinon removal were found to be optimum (82.43%) at the following levels: reaction time, 15 min; pH, 10; catalyst dosage, 1.5 g L−1; and diazinon concentration, 10 mg L−1. The degradation of diazinon gave six kinds of by-products. The mechanism of diazinon decomposition was considered on the basis of the identified by-products. According to these results, the nano-MgO@CNT@Gr/O3 process could be an applicable technique for the treatment of diazinon-containing wastewater. In this research, the degradation of the insecticide diazinon was studied using a new hybrid catalyst consisting of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (nano-MgO), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and graphite (Gr), nano-MgO@CNT@Gr, under various experimental conditions.![]()

Efficient Degradation of Mordant Blue 9 Using the Fenton-Activated Persulfate System. WATER 2019. [DOI: 10.3390/w11122532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
In this study, a Fenton-activated persulfate (Fe2+/PS) system was introduced for the efficient degradation of Mordant Blue 9 (MB 9) as a textile dye in an aqueous solution. Results showed that the degradation of MB 9 was markedly influenced by operational parameters, such as initial pH, PS concentration, Fe2+ concentration, and initial dye concentration. Optimal reaction conditions were then determined. Inorganic anions, such as Cl− and HCO3−, enhanced the degradation efficiency of MB 9 under optimal conditions. Addition of HCO3− reduced the degradation performance of MB 9, whereas the addition of Cl− increased the degradation percentage of MB 9. In addition, quenching experiments were conducted using methanol and tert-butyl alcohol as scavengers, and methanol was identified as an effective scavenger. Thus, the degradation of MB 9 was attributed to S O 4 • − and •OH radicals. The degradation and mineralization efficiency of MB 9 was significantly reduced using the conventional Fenton process i.e., Fe2+/ hydrogen peroxide (HP) because of the formation of a Fe complex during degradation. Meanwhile, the Fe2+/persulfate (PS) system improved the degradation and mineralization performance.

Abstract
A novel yolk-shell Ag3PO4@MIL-53(Fe) Z-scheme photocatalyst was fabricated via a "bottle-around-ship" like method. Experiments on the treatment of tetracycline upon visible light irradiation showed that the as-prepared photocatalyst possessed excellent photocatalytic performance. Experimental results showed that tetracycline removal efficiency of the yolk-shell Ag3PO4@MIL-53(Fe) Z-scheme photocatalyst was almost 3 times higher than that of MIL-53(Fe). The enhanced photocatalytic performance of Ag3PO4@MIL-53(Fe) nanocomposite could be contributed to its higher surface area, better absorption capability, and greater charge separation efficiency. In addition, the H2O2 concentration detection results for Ag3PO4 (154 μmol/L) and Ag3PO4@MIL-53(Fe) (52 μmol/L) indicated that a big part of generated H2O2 on the Ag3PO4 core would be quickly decomposed by the MIL-53(Fe) shell and generated more reactive species through the photo-Fenton-like reaction, which is beneficial for the improvement of photocatalytic performance. This is a promising approach to fabricate yolk-shell structure photocatalyst and a different aspect to design multiple semiconductor composites heterojunction for environmental remediation.

Abstract
This study evaluated the oxidation of toluene (TOL) by persulfate (PS) in aqueous solution in the presence of a Fe3O4-carbon black (CB) composite oxidant system generating sulfate radicals. The cytotoxic activity and oxidative stress generated by these materials were investigated in rat liver Clone 9 cells. The effects of various operating parameters including the pH and concentrations of PS, Fe3O4-CB, and TOL were evaluated to optimize the oxidation process. The results showed that Fe3O4-CB/PS achieved effective removal of TOL under acidic conditions. The TOL degradation efficiency was strongly pH-dependent, where pH 3.0 > 6.0 > 9.0. Additionally, the viability of Clone 9 cells exposed to 0-400 μg/mL Fe3O4-CB indicated that this material showed low cytotoxicity. A dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate assay performed to evaluate the generation of reactive oxygen species indicated that Fe3O4 showed relatively lower toxicity than CB in these cells. Therefore, the cytotoxicity of CB may involve the induction of oxidative stress and physical changes in cell morphology.

Abstract
Various antibiotics in the aquatic systems have threat the aquatic ecosystem balance and the human health. In this study, a degradation treatment method for tetracycline (TC), one of the commonly used antibiotics, was explored by using novel photocatalysts of rGO/Ag2CO3 under simulated sunlight, because conventional treatment methods are not efficient on the removal of TC. rGO/Ag2CO3 nanocomposites were synthesized via a facile photo-ultrasonic assisted reduction method. More than 90% of TC was removed by 1% (weightrGO/weightcomposites) rGO/Ag2CO3 within 60 min at pH = 4, which was about 1.3 times higher than that of pure Ag2CO3. The cycling experiments indicated that 1% rGO/Ag2CO3 was highly stable and could be reused for at least 5 cycles without significant deactivation to its photocatalytic activity. In addition, the effects of pH, temperature, and dosage amount of 1% rGO/Ag2CO3 on photocatalytic degradation were investigated. Meanwhile, the effect of ultrasonic on the degradation of TC was also investigated. This study can provide a new method for the preparation of smaller nanosized materials and photocatalysts with high activity and stability for its environmental or other applications.

Malakootian M, Yaseri M, Faraji M. Removal of antibiotics from aqueous solutions by nanoparticles: a systematic review and meta-analysis. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 26:8444-8458. [PMID: 30706272 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-019-04227-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2018] [Accepted: 01/10/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotics, as one of the emerging pollutants, are non-biodegradable compounds and long-term exposure to them may affect endocrine, hormonal, and genetic systems of human beings, representing a potential risk for both the environment and human health. The presence of antibiotics in surface waters and drinking water causes a global health concern. Many researches have stated that conventional methods used for wastewater treatment cannot fully remove antibiotic residues, and they may be detected in receiving waters. It is reported that nanoparticles could remove these compounds even at low concentration and under varied conditions of pH. The current study aimed to review the most relevant publications reporting the use of different nanoparticles to remove antibiotics from aqueous solutions. Moreover, meta-analysis was conducted on the results of some articles. Results of meta-analysis proved that different nanoparticles could remove antibiotics with an acceptable efficiency of 61%. Finally, this review revealed that nanoparticles are promising and efficient materials for degradation and removal of antibiotics from water and wastewater solutions. Furthermore, future perspectives of the new generation nanostructure adsorbents were discussed in this study.

Abstract
Pollution by antibiotics has become a serious threat to public health. In this study, agricultural waste, corn husk, in the form of biochar, was utilized for antibiotic removal from wastewater. Two kinds of iron-loaded biochars, impregnation–pyrolysis biochar (IP) and pyrolysis–impregnation biochar (PI), were synthesized to adsorb the typical antibiotics tetracycline (TC) and levofloxacin (LEV). PI contained amorphous hydrated iron oxide, whereas the major component of IP was γ-Fe2O3. Compared with IP, PI had a much higher adsorption capacity for both TC and LEV. This was because PI could provide more –OH, especially –OHads, to serve as the adsorption sites. In comparison with TC, –OH was prone to combine with LEV. FT-IR and XPS results indicated that the mechanisms of LEV adsorption included hydrogen bonding, F-replacement, electrostatic attraction and bridging bidentate complexation. TC adsorption may involve complexation, hydrogen bonding and electrostatic attraction. The possible adsorption mechanisms.![]()

Abstract
Among the pharmaceutical compounds, antibiotics have been paid specific consideration, due to their acute and chronic toxic effects on organisms. Amoxicillin (AMX) is used widely for treatment of bacterial infections. About 80% of amoxicillin excreted unchanged and enters the aquatic environment through different routes including disposal of municipal wastewaters, hospital wastewaters and farm wastewaters. In this study degradation of amoxicillin by UV/Na2S2O8/FeS2 process was evaluated. According to the results, the R-squared and adjusted R-squared were 0.9877 and 0.9828, respectively. The AMX removal efficiency was 93% at optimum conditions. Thus, UV/Na2S2O8/FeS2 process is a useful process for amoxicillin removal.
