Abstract
Nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) are considered important groups of chemicals mainly produced by human and industrial activities. The large-scale application of these xenobiotics creates contamination of the water and soil environment. Despite applicability, NACs have been caused severe hazardous side effects in animals and human systems like different cancers, anemia, skin irritation, liver damage and mutagenic effects. The effective remediation of the NACs from the environment is a significant concern. Researchers have implemented physicochemical and biological methods for the remediation of NACs from the environment. Most of the applied methods are based on adsorption and degradation approaches. Among these methods, degradation is considered a versatile method for the subsequent removal of NACs due to its exceptional properties like simplicity, easy operation, cost-effectiveness, and availability. Most importantly, the degradation process does not generate hazardous side products and wastes compared to other methods. Hence, the importance of NACs, their remediation, and supreme attributes of the degradation method have encouraged us to review the recent progress and development for the removal of these perilous materials using degradation as a versatile method. Therefore, in this review, (i) NACs, physicochemical properties, and their hazardous side effects on humans and animals are discussed; (ii) Physicochemical methods, microbial, anaerobic bioremediation, mycoremediation, and aerobic degradation approaches for the degradation of NACs were thoroughly vetted; (iii) The possible mechanisms for degradation of NACs were investigated and discussed. (iv) The applied kinetic models for evaluation of the rate of degradation were also assessed and discussed. Finally, (vi) current challenges and future prospects of proposed methods for degradation and removal of NACs were also directed.

Highly efficient treatment of real benzene dye intermediate wastewater by simple limestone and lime neutralization-coagulation with improved Fenton oxidation. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 25:31125-31135. [PMID: 30187411 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-018-3101-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2018] [Accepted: 08/28/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Multistage Fenton oxidation is a favored method for the treatment of benzene dye intermediate (BDI) wastewater, but the pH adjustments required after each stage of the Fenton process with a simple way is still a challenge. Limestone pretreatment and lime neutralization-coagulation were used to solve the problem in multistage Fenton process. First, we determined the optimal conditions of Fenton oxidation using the Box-Behnken response surface method. Limestone pretreatment before the multistage Fenton process allowed for simultaneous pH adjustment and 14.15% COD removal. Most notably, the lime cream neutralization-coagulation process effectively adjusted the pH after each stage of the Fenton process. The optimum CaO particle size, lime mass fraction, mixing time, and stirring speed were determined by orthogonal tests. COD removal (89.23%) was obtained when lime cream neutralization-coagulation was applied to the three-staged Fenton process, while only 58.57% COD removal was obtained by the unadjusted single-staged Fenton process. The COD and wastewater color were reduced from 10,600 mg/L and 12,200 multiples to 495 mg/L and 20 multiples, respectively, using the adjusted process. This improved method provides a promising cost-effective way to efficiently treat real BDI wastewater.
