JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 349:119403. [PMID: 37890293 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119403] [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: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
Herein, an alumina-based bimetallic catalyst (Cu1Mn7@γ-Al2O3) was synthesized for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation in the catalytic ozonation process. The catalytic ozonation system could degrade 93.9% of BPA within 30 min under the conditions of pH = 7.0, 10 mg L-1 O3 concentration, and 24 g L-1 catalyst dosage compared to ozone alone (21.0%). The enhanced BPA degradation efficiency was attributed to the abundant catalytic sites and synergistic effects of Cu and Mn. The results revealed that the synergistic interaction between Cu and Mn effectively accelerated the electron transfer process on the catalyst surface, thus promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Further studies indicated that the BPA degradation in Cu1Mn7@γ-Al2O3/O3 system predominantly followed the ·OH and O2·- oxidation pathway. Based on the density functional theory (DFT) calculations and intermediates detected by LC-MS analysis, two pathways for BPA degradation in the Cu1Mn7@γ-Al2O3/O3 system were proposed. The toxicity estimation illustrated that the toxicity of BPA and its byproducts was effectively reduced in the Cu1Mn7@γ-Al2O3/O3 system. This work provides a new protocol for O3 activation and pollutant elimination through a novel bimetallic catalyst during water purification.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023; 30:97990-98003. [PMID: 37603237 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29366-z] [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: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
There have been many studies on the degradation of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by the Fenton-like method, but the narrow acid-base (pH) range, poor degradation effect, and time-consuming of the Fenton-like method limit its development. Therefore, to improve the shortcomings of the Fenton-like method, the study aimed to synthesize copper-manganese bimetal oxide loaded catalysts (MnCuO@γ-Al2O3) through the impregnation calcination method, and its potential to activate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for the degradation of PVA was evaluated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterizations revealed the chemical composition, structure and morphology of the prepared MnCuO@γ-Al2O3, furthermore the synergistic mechanism was proposed. Results indicated that copper and manganese could successfully attach to γ-Al2O3 and reduce the specific surface area of γ-Al2O3, promoting the transformation of multivalent metals and the generation of oxygen vacancies. In addition, comparative experiments demonstrated that the PVA removal efficiency was significantly improved at the catalyst calcination temperature of 500 °C, reaction temperature of 70 °C, H2O2 dosage of 125 [Formula: see text], and catalyst dosage of 625 [Formula: see text] and more than 96% of PVA was removed within 20 min in neutral conditions. Lastly, four catalyst cycle degradation experiments of PVA were carried out, and the degradation effect could reach more than 96% in a certain time.

Abstract
We designed a photocatalyst and developed sustainable wastewater purification technology, which have significant advantages in effectively solving the global problem of drinking water shortage. In this study, a new nanocomposite was reported and shown to be a catalyst with excellent performance; CuO was coated successively onto functionalized nano γ-Al2O3, and this novel structure could provide abundant active sites. We evaluated the performance of the CuO@γ-Al2O3 nanocomposite catalyst for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) degradation under visible light irradiation. Under optimized conditions (calcination temperature, 450 °C; mass ratio of γ-Al2O3:Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, 1:15; pH value, 7; catalyst dosage, 2.6 g/L; reaction temperature, 20 °C; and H2O2 dosage, 0.2 g/mL), the CuO@γ-Al2O3 nanocomposite catalyst presented an excellent PVA removal rate of 99.21%. After ten consecutive degradation experiments, the catalyst could still maintain a PVA removal rate of 97.58%, thus demonstrating excellent reusability. This study provides an efficient and easy-to-prepare photocatalyst and proposes a mechanism for the synergistic effect of the photocatalytic reaction and the Fenton-like reaction.

Abstract
Herein, we attempted to apply an alumina-based bimetallic (Mn-Ce) catalyst as an O3 activator and explored the feasibility of the treatment of hypersaline organic wastewater. Compared with independent O3 (35.00 ± 4.20%), mineralization of ciprofloxacin (CIP) under the Mn-CeOx@γ-Al2O3/O3 (MCAO) process was elevated to 76.04 ± 2.30%. The synergetic corporation among multivalence redox pairs of Mn (III)/Mn (IV), Ce (III)/Ce (IV) promoted the protonation of the surface hydroxyl group (S-OH2+), and subsequently the dominant reactive oxygen species in the MCAO process, OH and O2-, were generated rapidly. However, the mineralization of CIP decreased in MCAO/SO42- system due to the formation of SO4-, which reacted with CIP more slowly (8.4 × 108 M-1 s-1) than OH (4.1 × 109 M-1 s-1). In MCAO/SO42-/Cl- mixture saline conditions, mineralization of CIP was improved at low Cl- concentration (0.5 wt%) due to the generation of Cl, while inhibited with excessive Cl- (≥1.5 wt%) owing to the formation of residual chlorides (Cl2, Cl2- and ClO-). Meanwhile, the MCAO process possessed promising capability to remediate hypersaline wastewater containing dyes, phenol and pesticides, as well as actual salinity-rich wastewater. Based on the above, the present study would provide new insights into hypersaline organic wastewater treatment by the MCAO process.

Abstract
The growing world energy consumption, with reliance on conventional energy sources and the associated environmental pollution, are considered the most serious threats faced by mankind. Heterogeneous photocatalysis has become one of the most frequently investigated technologies, due to its dual functionality, i.e., environmental remediation and converting solar energy into chemical energy, especially molecular hydrogen. H2 burns cleanly and has the highest gravimetric gross calorific value among all fuels. However, the use of a suitable electron donor, in what so-called “photocatalytic reforming”, is required to achieve acceptable efficiency. This oxidation half-reaction can be exploited to oxidize the dissolved organic pollutants, thus, simultaneously improving the water quality. Such pollutants would replace other potentially costly electron donors, achieving the dual-functionality purpose. Since the aromatic compounds are widely spread in the environment, they are considered attractive targets to apply this technology. In this review, different aspects are highlighted, including the employing of different polymorphs of pristine titanium dioxide as photocatalysts in the photocatalytic processes, also improving the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 by loading different types of metal co-catalysts, especially platinum nanoparticles, and comparing the effect of various loading methods of such metal co-catalysts. Finally, the photocatalytic reforming of aromatic compounds employing TiO2-based semiconductors is presented.
