JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 474:134852. [PMID: 38852250 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134852] [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: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PPCPs), and endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) have seen a recent sustained increase in usage, leading to increasing discharge and accumulation in wastewater. Conventional water treatment and disinfection processes are somewhat limited in effectively addressing this micropollutant issue. Ultrasonication (US), which serves as an advanced oxidation process, is based on the principle of ultrasound irradiation, exposing water to high-frequency waves, inducing thermal decomposition of H2O while using the produced radicals to oxidize and break down dissolved contaminants. This review evaluates research over the past five years on US-based technologies for the effective degradation of EDCs and PPCPs in water and assesses various factors that can influence the removal rate: solution pH, temperature of water, presence of background common ions, natural organic matter, species that serve as promoters and scavengers, and variations in US conditions (e.g., frequency, power density, and reaction type). This review also discusses various types of carbon/non-carbon catalysts, O3 and ultraviolet processes that can further enhance the degradation efficiency of EDCs and PPCPs in combination with US processes. Furthermore, numerous types of EDCs and PPCPs and recent research trends for these organic contaminants are considered.

Abstract
In the background of the rapid development of artificial intelligence, big data, IoT, 5G/6G, and other technologies, electrochemical sensors pose higher requirements for high-throughput detection. In this study, we developed a workstation with up to 10 channels, which supports both parallel signal stimulation and online electrochemical analysis functions. The platform was wired to a highly integrated Bluetooth chip used for wireless data transmission and can be visualized on a smartphone. We used this electrochemical test platform with carbon-graphene oxide/screen-printed carbon electrodes (CB-GO/SPCE) for the online analysis of L-tyrosine (Tyr), and the electrochemical performance and stability of the electrodes were examined by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The CB-GO-based screen-printed array electrodes with a multichannel electrochemical platform for Tyr detection showed a low detection limit (20 μM), good interference immunity, and 10-day stability in the range of 20-200 μM. This convenient electrochemical analytical device enables high-throughput detection and has good economic benefits that can contribute to the improvement of the accuracy of electrochemical analysis and the popularization of electrochemical detection methods in a wide range of fields.

Abstract
In this study, the Ce-modified tea residue biochar (Ce-TBC) was successfully generated and applied to the biochar/persulfate system (Ce-TBC/PDS), the mechanism of the removal of tetracycline (TC) using Ce-TBC/PDS was elaborated. Under the optimal experimental conditions (Ce-TBC = 0.8 g L-1, PDS = 4 mM, TC = 10 mg L-1), the removal efficiency of TC was 91.28%, and after 5 cycles, the elimination rate of Ce-TBC/PDS still reached up to 80%. The mechanism of TC removal by Ce-TBC/PDS was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier infrared transform spectrometer (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) characterization, and influence factor experiments. The results showed that the introduction of CeOx increased the oxygen vacancies on the TBC surface and promoted the interconversion between Ce3+ and Ce4+ for better activation of PDS and generation of active species. Free radical quenching experiments and paramagnetic resonance spectrometry (EPR) analysis showed that the non-radical pathway 1O2 played a dominant role in the Ce-TBC/PDS system. The present work provided an efficient means of PDS activator and recycling of tea waste.

Abstract
Surfactant stabilized Gold (Au) nanomaterials (NMs) have been documented extensively in recent years for numerous sensing applications in the academic literature. Despite the crucial role these surfactants play in the sensing applications, the comprehensive reviews that highlights the fundamentals associated with these assemblies and impact of these surfactants on the properties and sensing mechanisms are still quite scare. This review is an attempt in organizing the vast literature associated with this domain by providing critical insights into the fundamentals, preparation methodologies and sensing mechanisms of these surfactant stabilized Au NMs. For the simplification, the surfactants are divided into the typical and advanced surfactants and the Au NMs are classified into Au nanoparticles (NPs) and Au nanoclusters (NCs) depending upon the complexity in structure and size of the NMs respectively. The preparative methodologies are also elaborated for enhancing the understanding of the readers regarding such assemblies. The case studies regarding surfactant stabilized Au NMs were further divided into colorimetric sensors, surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) based sensors, luminescence-based sensors, and electrochemical/electrical sensors depending upon the property utilized by the sensor for the sensing of an analyte. Future perspectives are also discussed in detail for the researchers looking for further progress in that particular research domain.

Abstract
In this work, the fluoxetine (FLX) removal has been studied via the anodic oxidation (AO) process. Anode electrodes were Ti/RuO2, Ti/RuO2-IrO2, and Ti/RuO2-IrO2-SnO2, and cathode electrodes were graphite and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The performances of electrodes were compared in terms of FLX removal efficiency. As a result, Ti/RuO2-IrO2-SnO2 and CNTs were the optimal anode and cathode, respectively. The properties of the optimal electrodes were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry analysis was performed to study the electrochemical behavior of electrodes. The effect of current intensity (mA), initial pH, initial FLX concentration (mg/L) and process time (min) on the FLX removal efficiency was investigated and the response surface methodology was applied for the optimization of the AO process. The results showed that at current intensity, pH, initial FLX concentration and process time of 500 mA, 6, 25 mg/L and 160 min, maximum FLX removal efficiency was observed, which was 96.25%. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and total organic carbon (TOC) analysis was determined to evaluate the intermediates, and mineralization efficiency. The TOC removal efficiency was reached 81.51% after 6 h under optimal experimental conditions, indicating the successful removal of the FLX.

Abstract
The electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) have received significant attention among the many other water and wastewater treatment technologies. However, achieving a desirable removal effect with a single technique is frequently difficult. Therefore, the integration of ultrasound technique with other processes such as electrocoagulation, electro-Fenton, and electrooxidation is a critical way to achieve effective organic pollutants decomposition from wastewater. This review paper is focused on ultrasound-assisted electrochemical (US/electrochemical) processes, so-called sonoelectrochemical processes of various organic pollutants. Emphasis was given to recently published articles for discussing the results and trends in this research area. The use of ultrasound and integration with electrochemical processes has a synergistic impact owing to the physical and chemical consequences of cavitation, resulting in enhancing the mineralization of organic pollutants. Various types of sonoelectrochemical reactors (batch and continuous) employed in the US/electrochemical processes were reviewed. In addition, the strategies to avoid passivation, enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species, and mixing effect are reviewed. Finally, concluding remarks and future perspectives on this research topic are also explored and recommended.

Abstract
Considering the complexity of traditional cobalt phosphide (Co2P) loaded biochar synthesis research on a simple and efficient synthesis method has practical significance. In this study, after phosphoric acid activation, Neosinocalamus affinis biochar (NAB) and nanoplate Co3O4 quickly formed a Co2P-NAB composite material with high Co2P crystallinity and was uniformly dispersed on the surface of NAB in a microwave reactor. Co2P-NAB has an excellent catalytic degradation effect in the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade tetracycline (TC). The optimal TC degradation efficiency was achieved with the addition of 50 mg L-1 TC concentration, 0.2 g L-1 catalysts, 0.406 mM PMS and pH = 6.02. In addition, according to the pseudo-first-order reaction rate constant calculation, the composite of Co2P-NAB and PMS the synergy efficiency is 81.55 %. Compared with Co2P-NAB (10.83 %) and PMS (7.62 %) alone, the Co2P-NAB/PMS system has a significant promotion effect on the degradation of TC molecules. Additionally, the Co2P-NAB/PMS system had a TC mineralization rate of 68 % in 30 min. Furthermore, after a series of characterization, detection and analysis, and influencing factor experiments, we proposed a potential mechanism for the Co2P-NAB/PMS reaction system to degrade TC and found that singlet oxygen (1O2) plays an essential role in the non-radical degradation process. Finally, according to the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) detection of TC degradation intermediates, a possible degradation route was proposed. Therefore, this work uses microwave technology to present a novel and simple synthesis method for transition metal phosphides, which provides potential application value for the treatment of actual wastewater with heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
Waste-derived biochar has been emerged as promising catalysts to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of organic contaminants. Herein, passion fruit shell derived biochar (PFSC) was prepared by a one-pot pyrolysis method and used as a metal-free catalyst to activate PMS for the degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). The batch experiments indicated that the pyrolysis temperature could influence the efficiency of PFSC for the activation of PMS. In the PFSC-900 (prepared at 900 °C)/PMS system, the degradation rate of TC can reach 90.91%. The quenching test and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra revealed that the high catalytic performance of PFSC-900/PMS system was mainly attributed to the non-free radical reaction pathway containing a carbon bridge, and the TC degradation was controlled primarily by singlet oxygen-mediated oxidation. Moreover, the carboxyl group of ketones and the graphite-N atoms on PFSC-900 are the possible active sites of the non-free radical pathway including direct electron transfer or the formation of O2•-/1O2. This study not only shows a new type of biochar as an efficient catalyst for PMS activation but also provides a way of value-added reuse of passion fruit shell.

Abstract
Simultaneous conversion of most harmful As(III) and Cr(VI) to their less toxic counterparts is environmentally desirable and cost-effective. It has been confirmed that simultaneous oxidation of As(III) to As(V) and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) can occur via free radical or mediated electron transfer processes. While Cr(VI) is reduced by reacting with H•, eaq-, photoelectron directly or undergoing ligand exchange with H2O2 and SO32-, As(III) is oxidized by HO•, SO4•-, O2•-, and holes (h+) in free radical process. The ability to concentrate Cr and As species on heterogeneous interface and conductivity determining the co-conversion efficiency in mediated electron transfer process. Acidity has positive effect on these co-conversion, while mediated electron transfer process is not much affected by dissolved oxygen (O2). Organic compounds (e.g., oxalate, citrate and phenol) commonly favor Cr(VI) reduction and inhibit As(III) oxidation. To better understand the trends in the existing data and to identify the knowledge gaps, this review elaborates the complicated mechanisms for co-conversion of As(III) and Cr(VI) by various methods. Some challenges and prospects in this active field are also briefly discussed.

Electrocatalytic degradation of diuron herbicide using three-dimensional carbon felt/β-PbO 2 anode as a highly porous electrode: Influencing factors and degradation mechanisms. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 276:130141. [PMID: 33714150 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.130141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2020] [Revised: 02/20/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Traditional planar PbO2 anodes have been used extensively for the electrocatalytic degradation process. However, by using porous PbO2 anodes that have a three-dimensional architecture, the efficiency of the process can be significantly upgraded. In the current study, carbon felt (CF) with a highly porous structure and a conventional planar graphite sheet (G) were used as electrode substrate for PbO2 anodes. Both CF/β-PbO2 and G/β-PbO2 anodes were prepared by the anodic deposition method. The main properties of the electrodes were characterized by XRD, EDX-mapping, FESEM, and BET-BJH techniques. The electrocatalytic degradation of diuron using three-dimensional porous CF/β-PbO2 anode was modeled and optimized by a rotatable central composite design. After optimizing the process, the ability of porous CF/β-PbO2 and planar G/β-PbO2 anodes to degrade and mineralize diuron was compared. The electrocatalytic degradation of the diuron was well described by a quadratic model (R2 > 0.99). Under optimal conditions, the kinetics of diuron removal using CF/β-PbO2 anode was 3 times faster than the G/β-PbO2 anode. The energy consumed for the complete mineralization of diuron using CF/β-PbO2 anode was 2077 kWh kg-1 TOC. However, the G/β-PbO2 anode removed only 65% of the TOC by consuming 54% more energy. The CF/β-PbO2 had more stability (115 vs. 91 h), larger surface area (1.6287 vs. 0.8565 m2 g-1), and higher oxygen evolution potential (1.89 vs. 1.84 V) compared to the G/β-PbO2. In the proposed pathways for diuron degradation, the aromatic ring and groups of carbonyl, dimethyl urea, and amide were the main targets for HO• radical attacks.

Abstract
The search for optimal catalysts to improve the working efficiency of ozonation has always been an important issue in the research field of advanced oxidation processes. In this study, a novel catalyst, ferrosilicon, was selected as the catalyst in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation to degrade ibuprofen (IBP) in water and treat real pharmaceutical wastewater. During the procedure, 45#ferrosilicon exhibited the best catalytic activity. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the IBP removal reached 75%, which was a great improvement compared to the 37% removal by ozone alone. The 45#-ferrosilicon-catalysed ozonation also achieved 68% TOC removal for real pharmaceutical wastewater, which was 31% higher than that by ozone alone. The degradation pathway of IBP was proposed using GC/MS. The EPR test proved that the main active species in the system were free active radicals •OH, and the measured accumulative •OH amount was 102 μmol. The characterization results show that the nascent metallic oxides, hydroxides, and hydroxyoxides on the ferrosilicon surface facilitated the decomposition of ozone molecules and generation of free active radicals. The removal of target organic contaminants in the water was mainly attributed to the oxidization of these highly active species.

Abstract
Biochar supported nanosized iron (nFe(0)/BC) was synthesized and used as a persulfate (PS) activator to degradation tetracycline (TC). The influence of the initial pH values, PS and nFe(0)/BC dosage, initial TC concentration, and coexist anions were investigated. In the nFe(0)/BC-PS system, TC could be effectively removed at various pH values (3.0-9.0). The degradation efficiency of TC (100 mg/L) was 97.68% using nFe(0)/BC (0.4 g/L) and persulfate (1 mM) at pH 5.0. Coexisting ions (HCO3- and NO3-) had an inhibitory effect on TC degradation. The removal of TC could be fitted by a pseudo-second-order model. Electron-Spin Resonance (ESR) analysis and scavenging tests suggested that sulfate radicals (SO4·-) and hydroxyl radicals (HO·) were responsible for TC degradation. Details of the advanced oxidation process (AOP)-induced degradation pathways of TC were determined based on liquid chromatography mass-spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. The nFe(0)/BC could still maintain 86.38% of its original removal capacity after five cycles. The findings of this study proved that nFe(0)/BC can be applied to activate PS for the treatment of pollution caused by TC.

Abstract
This paper presents an evaluation of UV/PAA process for degradation of four pharmaceuticals venlafaxine (VEN), sulfamethoxazole (SFX), fluoxetine (FLU) and carbamazepine (CBZ) with comparison to UV/H2O2 process. The effectiveness of combining PAA and H2O2 at various proportions while irradiating with UVC were also evaluated. UVC/PAA (λ = 254 nm) was effective in degrading all four pharmaceuticals and followed pseudo first-order kinetics. Increasing PAA dosage or UVC intensity resulted in a linear increase in pseudo-first order rate coefficient. Both PAA in dark conditions and UVA/PAA (λ = 360 nm) were marginally effective to degrade SFX and ineffective to degrade VEN, CBZ and FLU; indicating the need for UVC irradiation for activation of PAA. For similar oxidant dosages of 50 mg/L UVC/H2O2 was found to be faster than UV/PAA for VEN, CBZ and FLU by 55%, 75% and 33%, respectively. Under similar conditions, SFX was degraded 24% faster by UV/PAA. Increase in the proportion of H2O2 to PAA in UVC/PAA/H2O2 improved kinetics of degradation compared to PAA alone. Tests on TOC were conducted to determine the amount of acetic acid that is released to water when treatment by UVC/PAA is conducted. Results demonstrated that 70% of PAA by mass was ultimately converted to acetic acid and remained in the treated solutions. Hydroxyl radical attack is hypothesized to be the main mechanism of degradation by UV/PAA as degradation intermediates identified for all the target pharmaceuticals coincided with by-products identified during UV/H2O2 process.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the photocatalytic performance of biochar (BC)-incorporated Zn-Co-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanostructures in gemifloxacin (GMF) degradation as a model pharmaceutical pollutant. The as-prepared Zn-Co-LDH@BC showed high photocatalytic efficiency due to the enhanced separation of photo-generated charge carriers using cobalt hydroxide as well as inhibiting the agglomeration of LDH nanostructures by incorporation of BC. According to the results, 92.7% of GMF was degraded through photocatalysis in the presence of Zn-Co-LDH catalyst. The photocatalytic performance of BC-incorporated Zn-Co-LDH was highly dependent on the solute concentration and photocatalyst dosage. The addition of ethanol caused more inhibiting effect than that of benzoquinone (BQ), indicating the major role of •OH in decomposition of GMF compared to the negligible role of O2•-. A greater enhancement in the photocatalytic degradation of GMF was obtained when the photoreactor containing Zn-Co-LDH@BC nanostructures was oxygenated. Less than 10% drop in the removal efficiency of GMF was observed within five successive operational runs. The results of chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis indicated the COD removal efficiency of about 80% within 200 min, indicating the acceptable mineralization of GMF. The reaction pathways were also proposed for the photocatalytic conversion of GMF under UV light irradiation.

Abstract
Powdered stone waste (PSW) obtained from a stone cutting industrial unit was applied as support for the immobilization of nano-sized ZnO to be utilized as an effective catalyst for the catalytic conversion of acetaminophen (ACE) under ultrasonication. The incorporation of ZnO nanostructures into PSW structure enhanced the specific surface area and pore volume of the as-prepared nanocompound. The change in the value of zero point of charge (pHzpc) of the PSW after being covered also demonstrated the good immobilization and distribution of ZnO nanostructures on the surface of PSW. The sonocatalysis of ACE over ZnO/PSW followed pseudo-first order kinetic (reaction rate of 2.27 × 10-2 1/min). The highest degradation efficiency of 98.1% was attained when the ZnO/PSW-contained sono-reactor was irradiated by UVC light. The presence of t-butanol led to the lowest degradation efficiency (57.7%), indicating that the sonocatalytic conversion of ACE was hydroxyl radical (OH)-dependent. Although the mineralization efficiency of ACE by the process was not excellent, bio-toxicity assessment on the effluent revealed decreasing the inhibition percent from 50.8 to 16.7% within reaction time of 240 min.

Abstract
This paper describes experimental results of degradation of Rhodamine B (RB) by vortex scattering ultrasound in aqueous solution. Vortices are produced by a high-speed agitator. The effects of different factors on the degradation of RB solution were studied, such as different reaction container, the initial concentration of RB, stirring speed and ultrasonic frequencies. Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer (UV) was used to measure the absorbance value of RB to assess degradation rate. The optimal experimental condition was three-necked bottle, stirring speed of 700 r/min, initial concentration of 10 mg/L and ultrasonic frequency of 40 kHz. The optimal degradation rate of RB can reach 98% within one hour. The combination of ultrasonic irradiation and mechanical stirring was discovered that can degrade the RB efficiently in aqueous solution. The investigation of mechanism demonstrates that the cavitation bubbles produced by agitation play a major role in promoting degradation. COMSOL Multiphysics (Version 5.3a) software was used to simulate this process. And the method of combination of ultrasonic irradiation and mechanical stirring has also been shown to be effective in degrading methylene blue, bromophenol blue and Congo red. So the combination of ultrasonic irradiation and mechanical stirring can be used as an option for treating organic wastewater in the future. This study established a new way to degrade other organic pollutants.

Abstract
Contamination of water resources by refractory organic pollutants is of great environmental and health concern because these compounds are not degraded in the conventional wastewater treatment plants. In recent years, sonocatalytic treatment has been considered as a promising advanced oxidation technique for the acceptable degradation and mineralization of the recalcitrant organic compounds. For this purpose, various sonocatalysts have been utilized in order to accelerate the degradation process. The present review paper provides a summary of published studies on the sonocatalytic degradation of various organic pollutants based on the application of carbon-based catalysts, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene (GR), graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), activated carbon (AC), biochar (BC), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), carbon doped materials, buckminsterfullerene (C60) and mesoporous carbon. The mechanism of sonocatalytic degradation of different organic compounds by the carbon-based sonocatalysts has been well assessed based on the literature. Moreover, the details of experimental conditions such as sonocatalyst dosage, solute concentration, ultrasound power, applied frequency, initial pH and reaction time related to each study have also been discussed in this review. Finally, concluding remarks as well as future challenges in this research field regarding new areas of study are also discussed and recommended.

Abstract
The shock impact of toxic pollutants in petrochemical wastewater on the activated sludge in biological treatment system is a key factor restricting the treatment efficiency. It is necessary to evaluate the toxicity of these pollutants by appropriate methods. In this study, four test methods were used to evaluate the toxicity of characteristic organic pollutants in petrochemical wastewater including 2,4-dichlorophenol, formaldehyde and pyridine, as well as one frequently-used reference toxicant 3,5-dichlorophenol. The sensitivity, accuracy and response time were compared among these methods: the oxygen consumption rate inhibition method (OCRIM), the dehydrogenase activity inhibition method (DAIM), the nitrification rate inhibition method (NRIM) and the growth rate inhibition method (GRIM). Principal component analysis was used to evaluate the correlation among the results of different methods. The OCRIM was comprehensively outstanding with the highest correlation between concentration and inhibition ratio (R2 values were all higher than 0.9854), good sensitivity, best accuracy (error value of the effective concentrations below 0.15 mg/l) and fastest response (<40 min). The sensitivity of the NRIM was found to be the highest in this study (10% effective inhibition concentration (EC10) value of 3,5-dichlorophenol was only 0.03 mg/l). Therefore, combined tests of OCRIM and NRIM were suggested.
