Baskaran D, Dhamodharan D, Behera US, Byun HS. A comprehensive review and perspective research in technology integration for the treatment of gaseous volatile organic compounds. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 251:118472. [PMID: 38452912 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118472] [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: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/10/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are harmful pollutants emitted from industrial processes. They pose a risk to human health and ecosystems, even at low concentrations. Controlling VOCs is crucial for good air quality. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various methods used for controlling VOC abatement. The advancement of mono-functional treatment techniques, including recovery such as absorption, adsorption, condensation, and membrane separation, and destruction-based methods such as natural degradation methods, advanced oxidation processes, and reduction methods were discussed. Among these methods, advanced oxidation processes are considered the most effective for removing toxic VOCs, despite some drawbacks such as costly chemicals, rigorous reaction conditions, and the formation of secondary chemicals. Standalone technologies are generally not sufficient and do not perform satisfactorily for the removal of hazardous air pollutants due to the generation of innocuous end products. However, every integration technique complements superiority and overcomes the challenges of standalone technologies. For instance, by using catalytic oxidation, catalytic ozonation, non-thermal plasma, and photocatalysis pretreatments, the amount of bioaerosols released from the bioreactor can be significantly reduced, leading to effective conversion rates for non-polar compounds, and opening new perspectives towards promising techniques with countless benefits. Interestingly, the three-stage processes have shown efficient decomposition performance for polar VOCs, excellent recoverability for nonpolar VOCs, and promising potential applications in atmospheric purification. Furthermore, the review also reports on the evolution of mathematical and artificial neural network modeling for VOC removal performance. The article critically analyzes the synergistic effects and advantages of integration. The authors hope that this article will be helpful in deciding on the appropriate strategy for controlling interested VOCs.

Abstract
As an eco-friendly technology, micro-nano bubbles have gained extensive attention due to their excellent properties. We carried out the experiments to investigate the degradation performance of micro-nano bubbles on ethyl acetate at ambient temperature and pressure. The effects were deeply analyzed by studying the treatment time, initial concentration, and mixed components on ethyl acetate. Treatment time at 30 min had the best results, with a removal efficiency of 86.07 % and a degradation rate of 0.340 ± 0.021 min-1. With the increase of the initial ethyl acetate concentration, the degradation extent first increased and then decreased. The best efficiency of 94.61% and the maximum reaction rate of 8.79×10-3 min-1 were achieved at an initial concentration of 265.6 mg/m3. In addition, ethyl acetate degradation was inhibited by the presence of butyl acetate, and removal efficiency of mixed components was lower than that of single components. The GC-MS results showed that possible intermediates, such as ethanol and acetone, were produced during the decomposition process, which was expected to eventually decompose into CO2 and H2O as the reaction progresses. This work presents a new method for the degradation of ethyl acetate and provides valuable information for the degradation of organic matter by micro-nano bubbles.

Abstract
The packed anode bioelectrochemical system (Pa-BES) developed in this study is a type of BES that introduces waste gas into a cathode and then into an anode, thereby providing the cathode with sufficient oxygen and reducing the amount of oxygen to the anode to promote the output of electricity. When the empty-bed residence time was 45 s and the liquid flowrate was 35 mL/s, the system achieved optimal performance. Under these conditions, removal efficiency, mineralization efficiency, voltage output, and power density were 93.86%, 93.37%, 296.3 mV, and 321.12 mW/m3, respectively. The acetone in the waste gas was almost completely converted into carbon dioxide, indicating that Pa-BES can effectively remove acetone and has the potential to be used in practical situations. A cyclic voltammetry analysis revealed that the packings exhibited clear redox peaks, indicating that the Pa-BES has outstanding biodegradation and power generation abilities. Through microbial community dynamics, numerous organics degraders, electrochemically active bacteria, nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria were found, and the spatial distribution of these microbes were identified. Among them, Xanthobacter, Bryobacter, Mycobacteriums and Terrimonawas were able to decompose acetone or other organic substances, with Xanthobacter dominating. Bacterium_OLB10 and Ferruginibacter are the electrochemically active bacteria in Pa-BES, while Ferruginibacter is the most abundant in the main anode, which is responsible for electron collection and transfer.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 423:127200.

Abstract
A deoxidizing packing material (DPM) with an encapsulated deoxidizing agent (DA) was developed to construct the packed anodes of a trickle-bed microbial fuel cell (TB-MFC) for treating waste gas. The encapsulated DA can consume O2 in waste gas and increase the voltage output and power density (PD) of the constructed TB-MFC. The DPM effectively enables the circulating water in TB-MFC for maintaining a low level of dissolved oxygen for 80 h. The results revealed that when the concentration of isopropanol (IPA) in waste gas was 0.74 g/m3, the TB-MFC (DPM with DA) exhibited an IPA removal efficiency (RE) of up to 99.7%. When DPM with DA was used as the packing material of the TB-MFC (486.6 mW/m3), the PD was 2.54 times that obtained when using coke as the packing material (191.6 mW/m3). The next-generation sequencing results demonstrated that because the oxygen content of the MFC anode chamber decreased over time in the TB-MFC, the richness of anaerobic electrogens (Pseudoxanthomonas, Flavobacterium, and Ferruginibacter) in the packing materials was increased. These electrogens mainly attached to the DPM, and IPA-degraders appeared in the circulating water of the TB-MFC. This enabled the TB-MFC to simultaneously achieve a high voltage output and IPA RE.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 286:131732.

Abstract
This study used a response surface method to develop a deoxidizing anode, which was introduced into microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to treat isopropanol (IPA) wastewater and waste gas. By embedding a deoxidizing agent (DA) into the anode of MFCs, a hypoxic environment can be created to enable anaerobic electrogens to be effectively attached to the anode surface and grow. Consequently, MFC power generation performance can be enhanced. The optimal coke and conductive carbon black ratio of an anode and percentage of DA added were 3.61 g/g and 3.15 %, respectively. The research design concurrently achieved the maximum deoxygenation efficiency (0.86 mg O2/bead), minimum disintegration ratio (3.51 %), and minimum resistance (30.2 Ω). The regression model had high prediction power (R2 > 0.93) for anode performance. As determined through multi-objective optimization, the results highly satisfied the target expectation (desirability = 0.82). The optimized deoxidizing anode was filled into an air-cathode MFC, which had a higher IPA removal efficiency (1.15-fold) and voltage output (1.24-fold) than an MFC filled with coke. The results for the trickling-bed MFC filled with a deoxidizing anode revealed that when the inlet concentration was 0.74 g/m3, the voltage output and power density were highest at 416.3 mV and 486.6 mW/m3, respectively. The deoxidizing anode developed has the potential to increase the MFC voltage output and the pollutant removal.

Abstract
A biotrickling filter (BTF) was combined with a microbial fuel cell (MFC) to remove ethyl acetate from exhaust gas while generating electricity in the process. The results indicated that the use of carbide porous ceramic rings (CPCR) as auxiliary anodes produced more biomass and exhibited a high average removal efficiency (98%), making it a superior microorganism growth carrier compared with carbon coke. When CPCR was used as the cathode in the BTF-MFC, the maximum power density (PD) was 5.64-14.8% of that achieved when carbon cloth was used as the cathode, revealing that CPCR is not a suitable cathode. The maximum elimination capacity (EC) and output voltage of the two-stage BTF-MFC (tBTF-MFC) were only 69.4% and 68.4% of those of the single-stage BTF-MFC (sBTF-MFC), presumably because of voltage reversal. Although the output voltage and EC in the tBTF-MFC were less than those in the sBTF-MFC, the follow-up field application involves stacking multiple small MFCs to remove high-concentration pollutants and generate a high power output. Additionally, continuously adding sodium sulfite decreased the average dissolved oxygen; generated an averaged closed-circuit voltage of 477 mV; and produced a maximum PD of 71.7 mW/m3. These findings demonstrated that the aforementioned method can effectively improve the problem of oxygen and MFC anodes competing for electrons, thus delivering a method that enhances MFC performance through controlling the amount of oxygen in practical applications.

Abstract
This study investigates the use of electrically conductive granules as packing material in biotrickling filter (BTF) systems as to provide insights on the specific microbial abundance and functions during the treatment of xylene-containing waste gas. In addition, the effect of applied potential on attached biofilm on conductive granules during xylene degradation was briefly investigated. During stable operation period, the conductive granules packed BTF achieved reactor performance of no less than 80% with a maximum EC of 137.7 g/m3 h. Under applied potential of 1V, the BTF system showed deterioration of xylene removal by ranging from 21 to 76%, which also affected the distribution and relative abundance of the major microorganisms such as Xanthobacter, Acidovorax, Rhodococcus, Hydrogenophaga, Arthrobacter, Brevundimonas, Pseudoxanthomonas, Devosia, Shinella, Sphingobium, Dokdonella, Pseudomonas and Bosea. The acclimation of applied potential led to the enrichment of autotrophic bacteria and strains, which are correlated to improved nitrogen cycling. In general, applying electrical potential is feasible to shape the microbiological structure of biofilms to selectively adjust their biochemical functions.

Abstract
Long-term operation of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) results in an electrochemical activity decline by the degradation of the anodic biofilm. In this work, an alkaline soaking treatment is proposed as an efficient and simple method for anode regeneration. The alkaline treatment was employed in a used carbon-brush anode, and its performance was compared with those of two other traditional treatment methods, i.e. air drying and carbonization. Among all the treated MFC anodes, the one treated by alkaline soaking exhibited the highest recovery rate. A series of tests including a start-up process, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and MFC performance were performed. The results show that alkaline soaking can modify the carbon fiber by introducing carboxyl groups onto the carbon surface and completely remove the aged biofilm, demonstrating that the alkaline treatment of used anodes is a practically effective method for the performance recovery of MFCs. An alkaline soaking treatment is proposed as an efficient and simple method for anode regeneration.![]()

Abstract
Pollution caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odorous pollutants in the air can produce severe environmental problems. In recent years, the emission control of VOCs and odorous pollutants has become a crucial issue owing to the adverse effect on humans and the environment. For treating these compounds, biotrickling filter (BTF) technology acts as an environment friendly and cost-effective alternative to conventional air pollution control technologies. Besides, low concentration of VOCs and odorous pollutants can also be effectively removed using BTF systems. However, the VOCs and odorants removal performance by BTF may be limited by the hydrophobicity, toxicity, and low bioavailability of these pollutants. To solve these problems, this review summarizes the design, mechanism, and common analytical methods of recent BTF advances. In addition, the operating conditions, mass transfer, packing materials and microorganisms (which are the critical parameters in a BTF system) were evaluated and discussed in view of improving the removal performance of BTFs. Further research on these specific topics, together with the combination of BTF technology with other technologies, should improve the removal performance of BTFs.

Abstract
The microbial fuel cell (MFC) has emerged as a promising technology for wastewater treatment and energy recovery, but the expensive cost of proton exchange membranes (PEMs) is a problem that need to be solved. In this study, a two-chamber MFC based on our self-made PEM sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) membrane was set up to treat phenol/acetone wastewater and synchronously generate power. The maximum output voltage was 240-250 mV. Using phenol and acetone as substrates, the power generation time in an operation cycle was 289 h. The MFC exhibited good removal performance, with no phenol or acetone detected, respectively, when the phenol concentration was lower than 50 mg/L and the acetone concentration was lower than 100 mg/L. This study provides a cheap and eco-friendly way to treat phenol/acetone wastewater and generate useful energy by MFC technology.

Abstract
A series of silver catalysts supported on lanthanum based perovskites LaBO3 (B = Co, Mn, Ni, Fe) were synthesized and evaluated in the catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate. XRD, BET, TEM/HRTEM, HAADF-STEM, XPS and H2-TPR were conducted, and the results indicate that redox activity of the catalysts is of great importance to the oxidation reaction. Activity tests demonstrated that Ag/LaCoO3 was more active than the other samples in ethyl acetate oxidation. Moreover, the CO2 selectivity, COx yields and byproduct distributions for all catalysts were studied, and Ag/LaCoO3 showed the best catalytic performance. Besides, Ag/LaCoO3 also showed excellent catalytic activity for other OVOCs. Ag/LaBO3 (B = Co, Mn, Ni, Fe) were investigated for the catalytic oxidation of ethyl acetate, and Ag/LaCoO3 showed the best catalytic performance.![]()
