Abstract
More and more attention has been paid to condensable particulate matter (CPM) since its emissions have surpassed that of filterable particulate matter (FPM) with the large-scale application of ultralow-emission reform. CPM is a gaseous material in the flue stack but instantly turns into particles after leaving the stack. It is composed of inorganic and organic components. Organic components are an important part of CPM, and they are an irritant, teratogenic, and carcinogenic, which triggers photochemical smog, urban haze, and acid deposition. CPM organic components can aggravate air pollution and climate change; therefore, consideration should be given to them. Based on existing methods for removing atmospheric organic pollutants and combined with the characteristics of CPM organic components, we provide a critical overview from the aspects of (i) fundamental cognition of CPM, (ii) common methods to control CPM organic components, and (iii) catalytic oxidation of CPM organic components. As one of the most encouraging methods, catalytic oxidation is discussed in detail, especially in combination with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, to meet the growing demands for multipollutant control (MPC). We believe that this review is inspiring for a fuller understanding and deeper exploration of promising approaches to control CPM organic components.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:169507. [PMID: 38142000 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.169507] [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: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
The utilization of microalgae for both removing phthalate esters (PAEs) from wastewater and producing bioenergy has become a popular research topic. However, there is a lack of studies comparing the effectiveness of different types of microalgae in removing these harmful compounds. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficiency of various processes, such as hydrolysis, photolysis, adsorption, and biodegradation, in removing diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP) using six different species of microalgae. The study indicated that the average removal efficiency of DiBP (initial concentrations of 5, 0.5, and 0.05 mg L-1) by all six microalgae (initial cell density of 1 × 106 cells mL-1) was in the order of Scenedesmus obliquus (95.39 %) > Chlorella vulgaris (94.78 %) > Chroococcus sp. (91.16 %) > Cyclotella sp. (89.32 %) > Nitzschia sp. (88.38 %) > Nostoc sp. (84.33 %). The results of both hydrolysis and photolysis experiments revealed that the removal of DiBP had minimal impact, with respective removal efficiencies of only 0.89 % and 1.82 %. The adsorption efficiency of all six microalgae decreased significantly with increasing initial DiBP concentrations, while the biodegradation efficiency was elevated. Chlorella vulgaris and Chroococcus sp. demonstrated the highest adsorption and biodegradation efficiencies among the microalgae tested. Scenedesmus obliquus was chosen for the analysis of the degradation products of DiBP due to its exceptional ability to remove DiBP. The analysis yielded valuable results, identifying monoisobutyl phthalate (MiBP), phthalic acid (PA), and salicylic acid (SA) as the possible degradation products of DiBP. The possible degradation pathways mainly included dealkylation, the addition of hydroxyl groups, and decarboxylation. This study lays a theoretical foundation for the elimination of PAEs in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
Endocrine-disrupting phthalates (EDPs) are widely used as plasticizers for the manufacture of different plastics and polyvinyl chloride by providing flexibility and mechanical strength. On the other hand, they are categorized under priority pollutants list due to their threat to human health and the environment. This study examined biodegradation of a mixture of dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, benzyl butyl, di-2-ethylhexyl, and di-n-octyl phthalates using a CSTB (continuous stirred tank bioreactor) operated under batch, fed-batch, continuous, and continuous with biomass recycle operation modes. For operating the CSTB under biomass recycle mode, microfiltration using an indigenous tubular ceramic membrane was employed. Ecotoxicity assessment of the treated water was carried out to evaluate the toxicity removal efficiency by the integrated bioreactor system. From the batch experiments, the EDPs cumulative degradation values were 90 and 75% at 1250 and 1500 mg/L total initial concentration of the mixture, respectively, whereas complete degradation was achieved at 750 mg/L. In the fed-batch study, 93% degradation was achieved at 1500 mg/L total initial concentration of the mixture. In continuous operation mode, 94 and 85% degradation efficiency values were achieved at 43.72 and 52.08 mg/L⋅h inlet loading rate of phthalate mixture. However, continuous feeding with 100% biomass recycle revealed complete degradation at 41.67 mg/L⋅h inlet loading rate within the 84 h operation period. High seed germination index and low mortality percentage of brine shrimps observed with phthalate degraded water from the integrated bioreactor system revealed its excellent potential in the treatment and toxicity removal of phthalates contaminated environment.

Abstract
The tunable porous structure of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) plays a crucial role in determining their adsorption performance. In this study, we developed and employed a strategy involving monocarboxylic acid assistance to synthesize a series of zirconium-based MOFs (UiO-66-F4) for the removal of aqueous phthalic acid esters (PAEs). The adsorption mechanisms were investigated by combining batch experiments, characterization and theoretical simulation. By adjusting the affecting factors (i.e., initial concentration, pH values, temperature, contact time and interfering substance), the adsorption behavior was confirmed as a spontaneous and exothermic chemisorption process. The Langmuir model provided a good fit, and the maximum expected adsorption capacity of di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP) on UiO-66-F4(PA) was calculated to be 530.42 mg·g-1. Besides, through carrying out the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, the multistage adsorption process in the form of DnBP clusters was revealed on a microcosmic scale. The independent gradient model (IGM) method showed the types of weak interactions of inter-fragments or between DnBP and UiO-66-F4. Furthermore, the synthesized UiO-66-F4 displayed excellent removal efficiency (>96 % after 5 cycles), satisfactory chemical stability and reusability in the regeneration process. Hence, the modulated UiO-66-F4 will be regarded as a promising adsorbent for PAEs separation. This work will provide referential significance in tunable MOFs development and actual applications of PAEs removal.

Abstract
As a commonly well-known industrial chemical, phthalates are produced in high volumes to be used in various consumer products (e.g., plasticizers, medical devices, construction materials, and toys) to enhance softness, durability, transparency, and flexibility. Phthalates are generally not chemically bonded to the polymer chain of the plastic in which they are mixed. Thus, they may leach, migrate, or evaporate into indoor/outdoor air, and foodstuffs. In this review, a comprehensive overview of several sample preparation methods coupled with gas chromatography for the analysis of phthalates in various kinds of complex matrices, with a focus on the last 20 years' worth of papers. The review begins by highlighting the environmental significance of phthalate pollution along with the various routes to their exposure to general population. Then, the discussion is extended to cover the pretreatment and extraction techniques for phthalates for their quantitation based on gas chromatographic approach. Finally, the present and future challenges for the detection of phthalates in aqueous and food matrices are discussed.

Abstract
Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) is one of the most extensively used plasticizers for providing elasticity to plastics. Being potentially harmful to humans, investigating eco-benign options for its rapid degradation is imperative. Microbe-mediated DBP mineralization is well-recorded, but studies on the pollutant's fungal catabolism remain scarce. Thus, the present investigation was undertaken to exploit the fungal strains from toxic sanitary landfill soil for the degradation of DBP. The most efficient isolate, SDBP4, identified on a molecular basis as Aspergillus flavus, was able to mineralize 99.34% dibutyl phthalate (100 mg L-1) within 15 days of incubation. It was found that the high production of esterases by the fungal strain was responsible for the degradation. The strain also exhibited the highest biomass (1615.33 mg L-1) and total soluble protein (261.73 µg mL-1) production amongst other isolates. The DBP degradation pathway scheme was elucidated with the help of GC-MS-based characterizations that revealed the formation of intermediate metabolites such as benzyl-butyl phthalate (BBP), dimethyl-phthalate (DMP), di-iso-butyl-phthalate (DIBP) and phthalic acid (PA). This is the first report of DBP mineralization assisted with A. flavus, using it as a sole carbon source. SDBP4 will be further formulated to develop an eco-benign product for the bioremediation of DBP-contaminated toxic sanitary landfill soils.

Abstract
The triphenyl group (trityl radical) possessing three-phenyl rings, self-assembled through aromatic π-π stacking interactions, can form interesting crystalline organic nano-flowers. In this work, we have synthesized a hybrid material of 1,2-bis(tritylthio)ethane and magnetite, which reduces toxic Cr(VI) to non-toxic Cr(III). We validated the efficacy of the hybrid in reducing toxic Cr(VI) along with three other adsorbent systems. Among the five adsorbent systems tested, we observed that human hair has higher Cr removal efficiency, which prompted us to explore further using different mechanical forms of human hair. Pulverized hair (PH), hair powder (HP), and raw hair (RH) were evaluated by employing different reaction factors such as the adsorbent dose, pH, initial Cr(VI) concentration, and contact time. The comparative evaluation showed that PH has greater adsorption capacity (15.14 mg/g), followed by RH (13.27 mg/g) and HP (10.5 mg/g). While investigating the adsorption mechanism, we observed that it follows pseudo-second-order kinetics suggesting chemisorption. The Freundlich isotherm model fitted well for Cr(VI) adsorption by human hair, suggesting a multi-layered adsorption process. Overall, this study promises a cost-effective and eco-friendly bio-adsorbent for Cr(VI), which may be scaled up to design automated industrial waste disposal systems.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, an organic metal framework adsorbent was used to remove paratoluic acid from aqueous solutions. The effect of various parameters such as pH, initial concentration of paravoluic acid, contact time, and amount of adsorbent was investigated by experimental design method. Central composite design (CCD) was used to optimize paratoluic acid uptake. Initially, MIL-53 (Al) was synthesized, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry (TGA). The results of central composite design showed that pH is the most essential factor in the removal of paratoluic acid with MIL-53 (Al). The maximum removal efficiency of paratoluic acid by MIL-53 (Al) adsorbent is 93.67%, the optimal amount of adsorbent is 0.396 g, the optimal time is 35.67 min, the initial concentration is 11.12 mg L−1. The pH is 6.6 with the desired amount 1 is. Isothermal, and kinetic models have also examined. The maximum adsorption capacity was 132.05 (mg g−1), and the adsorption data of MIL-53 (Al) were well consistent with the quasi-second order, and Langmuir isotherm models.

Abstract
The realization of high-efficient digestion in a microfluidic reactor is considered to be advantageous for pretreatment toward online pollutant detection. However, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory device performance due to the gap between the low digestion reaction efficiency and the demand for rapid pretreatment for online detection. Herein, we design and manufacture an optofluidic microreactor combined with a MnO2 nanofilm localizing the heat inside the reaction chamber under solar irradiation, which contributes a lot to the on-chip nutrient digestion efficiency enhancement. The overall temperature of the water sample in the reactor chamber can be dramatically increased in a fleeting time of less than 1 s and maintained at 78 °C. The digestion rate constant of the microreactor is improved by about 100 times compared with that obtained by the traditional method in the national standard, which is attributed to temperature enhancement and various oxidation reactions in the heated reaction chamber. Notably, when pretreating the actual total phosphorus water samples, the digestion efficiency is demonstrated to be higher than 95% within 12 s under solar light irradiation. The optofluidic platform brings many benefits to accelerate the various photochemically enhanced reactions using solar light and is extremely adapted for rapid pretreatment of biochemical samples to further develop their online analysis.

Advanced Photocatalytic Treatment of Wastewater Using Immobilized Titanium Dioxide as a Photocatalyst in a Pilot-Scale Reactor: Process Intensification. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15134547.

Abstract
In many nations, particularly those experiencing water scarcity, novel approaches are being applied to clean wastewater. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is the most widely used of these approaches because it entails the decomposition of organic molecules into water and carbon dioxide, which is a more ecologically benign process. In our study, we studied the photocatalytic degradation process on the effluent flumequine. This treatment is made through a solar pilot reactor in the presence of immobilized titanium dioxide with three light intensities and two types of water as solvents. A variety of factors that might influence the rate of deterioration, such as flow rate, light intensity, and initial concentration, have been investigated. The maximal degradation of flumequine was achieved at more than 90% after 2.5 h under optimal conditions (an initial concentration of 5 mg/L, three lamp light intensities, and a flow rate of 29 L/h). By combining the oxidized agent H2O2 with this process, the photocatalytic activity was improved further to 97% under the same conditions. The mineralization of this product has also been tested using total organic carbon (TOC) analysis. A high mineralization rate has been recorded at around 50% for a high initial concentration (20 mg/L) at a flow rate of 126 L/h. The results demonstrated the highly effective removal of flumequine and the efficacy of this photocatalytic system.

Abstract
Isolated ultrasonic vibrations were used to treat feed water from a 20 bar steam-producing water tube boiler. Physical treatments such as ultrasounds and reverse osmosis (RO) are recommended as the most eco-friendly for this purpose. A novel bench-scale prototype delivering 6 L/h of treated water was designed and built. The ultrasonic atomization of raw water with 1.7 MHz piezoelectric transducers and subsequent humidification and dehumidification of drag airflow was the innovating sequence of operations used as a treatment technique. To ensure greater humidification capacity to the drag air, the energy available from the thermal inertia of the liquid column (raw water) in the prototype vaporization chamber was used to heat this air flow. After a single pass of raw water through the bench-scale prototype, a 98.0% reduction in conductivity and a 99.0% decrease in the content of total dissolved solids were obtained at a drag air temperature of 70 °C. Compared to RO, two of the main advantages of the proposed ultrasonic wave method are the elimination of the use of chemical agents in the pre-treatment phase and a significant reduction in maintenance costs by membrane replacement.

Abstract
Several studies have reported that the hydrothermal carbonization method (HTC) of agricultural waste is able to produce a solid residue with interesting properties for the adsorption of organic pollutants from contaminated water. This work represents a facile method to prepare hydrochar (HC) from pomegranate peels’ waste using the microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization method (MHTC) at 200 °C for 1 h with a mass ratio of peel to water = 1:10. Activated hydrochar (AHC) was prepared by in situ chemical activation using ZnCl2 and MHTC. Several techniques have been applied to characterize the prepared samples as FTIR, XRD, TEM and SEM. The samples were investigated for their possible use as adsorbents of methylene blue (MB) dye. The results confirm the formation of amorphous hydrochar with a porous structure. The pH of zero point charge (pHzpc) is 4.3 and 4.6 for HC and AHC samples, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity of HC and AHC samples are 194.9 and 12.55 mg/g (i.e., mg of adsorbate/g of adsorbent), respectively.
