Abstract
Considering the growing need in decentralized water treatment, the application of electrocatalytic processes (EP) to achieve organic wastewater purification will be dominant in the near future due to high efficiency, small reactor assembly as well as the flexibility of operation and management. The catalytic performance of electrode materials determines the development of this technology. Among them, the unique three-dimensional (3D) structure electrode shows better performance than two-dimensional (2D) electrode in increasing mass transfer, enhancing adsorption and exposing more active sites. Hence, this review starts with the introduction of definition, classification, advantages and disadvantages of 3D electrode materials. Then a critical discussion on the design and construction of 3D electrode materials for organic wastewater purification application is provided. Next, the removal mechanism of organic pollutants on the surface of 3D electrode, the role of 3D structure, the design of reactor with 3D electrode, the conversion and toxicity of degradation products, electrode energy efficiency, stability and cost, are comprehensively reviewed. At last, current challenges and future perspectives for the development of 3D electrode materials are addressed. We deem that this review will provide a valuable insight into the design and application of 3D electrodes in environmental water purification.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 28:molecules28010341. [PMID: 36615536 PMCID: PMC9822505 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28010341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM) as emerging micropollutants have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their high detected concentration in water systems. It results in environmental issues partly due to the formation of toxic by-products during the disinfection process in water treatment. Consequently, various approaches have been investigated by researchers in order to achieve ICM total mineralization. This review discusses the different methods that have been used to degrade them, with special attention to the mineralization yield and to the nature of formed by-products. The problem of pollution by ICM is discussed in the first part dedicated to the presence of ICM in the environment and its consequences. In the second part, the processes for ICM treatment including biological treatment, advanced oxidation/reductive processes, and coupled processes are reviewed in detail. The main results and mechanisms involved in each approach are described, and by-products identified during the different treatments are listed. Moreover, based on their efficiency and their cost-effectiveness, the prospects and process developments of ICM treatment are discussed.

Abstract
In this study, the degradation mechanism of chloroacetanilide herbicides in the presence of four different nucleophiles, namely: Br-, I-, HS-, and S2O3-2, was theoretically evaluated using the dispersion-corrected hybrid functional wB97XD and the DGDZVP as a basis set. The comparison of computed activation energies with experimental data shows an excellent correlation (R2 = 0.98 for alachlor and 0.97 for propachlor). The results suggest that the best nucleophiles are those where a sulfur atom performs the nucleophilic attack, whereas the other species are less reactive. Furthermore, it was observed that the different R groups of chloroacetanilide herbicides have a negligible effect on the activation energy of the process. Further insights into the mechanism show that geometrical changes and electronic rearrangements contribute 60% and 40% of the activation energy, respectively. A deeper analysis of the reaction coordinate was conducted, employing the evolution chemical potential, hardness, and electrophilicity index, as well as the electronic flux. The charge analysis shows that the electron density of chlorine increases as the nucleophilic attack occurs. Finally, NBO analysis indicates that the nucleophilic substitution in chloroacetanilides is an asynchronous process with a late transition state for all models except for the case of the iodide attack, which occurs through an early transition state in the reaction.

Abstract
The remediation of organohalides from water is a challenging process in environment protection and water treatment. Herein, we report a molecular copper(I) complex with two triazole units, CuT2, in a heterogeneous aqueous system that is capable of dechlorinating dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) to afford hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, and ethylene). The catalytic performance is evaluated in water and presented high Faradaic efficiency (average 70% CH4) across a range of potentials (-1.1 to -1.6 V vs Ag/AgCl) and high activity (maximum -25.1 mA/cm2 at -1.6 V vs Ag/AgCl) with a turnover number of 2.0 × 107. The CuT2 catalyst also showed excellent stability for 14 h of constant exposure to CH2Cl2 and 10 h of CH2Cl2 exposure cycling. The control compound, a copper-free triazole unit (T1), was also investigated under the same condition and showed inferior catalytic activity, indicating the importance of the copper center. Plausible catalytic mechanisms are proposed for the formation of C1 and C2 products via radical intermediates. Computational studies provided additional insight into the reaction mechanism and the selectivity toward the CH4 formation. The findings in this study demonstrate that complex CuT2 is an efficient and stable catalyst for the dehalogenation of CH2Cl2 and could potentially be used for the exploration of the removal of halogenated species from aqueous systems.

Abstract
Iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM) compounds are a form of intravenous radiocontrast containing iodine, which are rapidly eliminated via urine or feces. The issue with the accumulation of ICM has received considerable critical attention since they are ubiquitously distributed in municipal wastewater effluents and in the aquatic environment and are not significantly eliminated by most biological sewage treatment processes. Among the methods that have been tested to eliminate ICM, electrochemical methods have significant advantages, since they can selectively cut the carbon-iodine bonds that are suspected to decrease their biodegradability. On the production sites, the recovery of iodine ions due to the carbon-iodine cleavage can be envisaged, which is particularly interesting to reduce the cost of the ICM production process. The coupling of an electrochemical process and a biological treatment can be carried out to mineralize the organic part of the formed by-products, allowing the recovery of the iodide ions. Therefore, the degradation of diatrizoate, a typical ionic ICM compound, by an electrochemical process was the purpose of this study. The electrochemical reduction of diatrizoate was performed using a flow cell with a graphite felt electrode at different potentials. The removal yield of diatrizoate reached ~100% in 2 h and the main product, 3,5-diacetamidobenzoic acid, was quantitatively formed, showing that diatrizoate was almost completely deiodinated. According to the BOD5/COD ratio, the biodegradability of diatrizoate after electrolysis was considerably improved. Cyclic voltammetry analysis of the electroreduced solution showed several oxidation peaks. The electrochemical oxidation of the by-products formed after the first treatment by electroreduction was then performed at three different potentials to study the influence of electrochemical oxidation on biodegradability. Results showed that the degradation yield of the deiodinated by-products increased with the potential and reached 100% at 1.3 V/SCE. Four different biological treatments were implemented during 21 days in stirred flasks with fresh activated sludge. The evolution of the mineralization during the biological treatment highlighted the biorecalcitrance of diatrizoate as previously estimated by the BOD5/COD ratio. Interestingly, the mineralization yield increased from 41 to 60% when electrochemical oxidation at 1.3 V/SCE was implemented after electroreduction.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic activity of bismuth considered as a low-cost and green electrode material was studied in reductive dechlorination processes. Cyclic voltammetry analyses showed that the Bi electrode exhibited a high catalytic activity to reduce alachlor, a chlorinated herbicide, in the aqueous medium at different pH values. Bulk electrolyses were performed at different potentials and pH values. Alachlor was reduced in deschloroalachlor, its dechlorinated derivative, with a high selectivity (96%) and a current efficiency of 48%. The reductive dechlorination of other chlorinated compounds with an activated carbon atom was then studied, showing that the bismuth electrode catalyzed the electroreduction of chloroacetamides, α-halocarbonyl, and α-haloallyl pollutants. Cyclic voltammetry experiments allowed us to propose a mechanism explaining the high catalytic activity of bismuth to reduce these families of compounds.
