Abstract
In recent years, the peracetic acid (PAA)-based advanced oxidation process (AOPs) has garnered significant attention in the field of water treatment due to rapid response time and environmentally-friendliness. The activation of PAA systems by diverse carbon-based materials plays a crucial role in addressing emerging environmental contaminants, including various types, structures, and modified forms of carbon materials. However, the structural characteristics and structure-activity relationship of carbon-based materials in the activation of PAA are intricate, while the degradation pathways and dominant active species exhibit diversity. Therefore, it is imperative to elucidate the developmental process of the carbon-based materials/PAA system through resource integration and logical categorization, thereby indicating potential avenues for future research. The present paper comprehensively reviews the structural characteristics and action mechanism of carbon-based materials in PAA system, while also analyzing the development, properties, and activation mechanism of heteroatom-doped carbon-based materials in this system. In conclusion, this study has effectively organized the resources pertaining to prominent research direction of comprehensive remediation of environmental water pollution, thereby elucidating the underlying logic and thought process. Consequently, it establishes robust theoretical foundation for future investigations and applications involving carbon-based materials/PAA system.

WATER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY : A JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION ON WATER POLLUTION RESEARCH 2024; 90:1132-1148. [PMID: 39215728 DOI: 10.2166/wst.2024.274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Efficient degradation of industrial organic wastewater has become a significant environmental concern. Electrochemical oxidation technology is promising due to its high catalytic degradation ability. In this study, Co-Bi/GAC particle electrodes were prepared and characterized for degradation of 1,4-dioxane. The electrochemical process parameters were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM), and the influence of water quality factors on the removal rate of 1,4-dioxane was investigated. The results showed that the main influencing factors were the Co/Bi mass ratio and calcination temperature. The carrier metals, Co and Bi, existed mainly on the GAC surface as Co3O4 and Bi2O3. The removal of 1,4-dioxane was predominantly achieved through the synergistic reaction of electrode adsorption, anodic oxidation, and particle electrode oxidation, with ·OH playing a significant role as the main active free radical. Furthermore, the particle electrode was demonstrated in different acid-base conditions (pH = 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11). However, high concentrations of Cl- and NO3- hindered the degradation process, potentially participating in competitive reactions. Despite this, the particle electrode exhibited good stability after five cycles. The results provide a new perspective for constructing efficient and stable three-dimensional (3D) electrocatalytic particle electrodes to remove complex industrial wastewater.

Treatment of hazardous landfill leachate containing 1,4 dioxane by biochar-based photocatalysts in a solar photo-oxidation reactor. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 332:117402. [PMID: 36731416 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.117402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
This study investigates a combined photocatalytic and adsorption system to maximize the removal of 1,4 dioxane from hazardous landfill leachate (HLL). The production of transformation products was also investigated to obtain a comprehensive evaluation of the treatment system. Copper/iron doped zinc oxide (Cu-Fe-ZnO) was introduced to biochar to form a hybrid materials and used to treat HLL contaminated with 1,4 dioxane of 355.0 ± 11.7 mg/L. The Cu-Fe-ZnO/biochar removed 93.1 ± 8.7% of 1,4 dioxane at a dose of 0.6 g/L within 90 min, as compared with only 42.7 ± 3.3% by 1.2 g/L of bare biochar within 210 min. The Cu-Fe-ZnO/biochar degraded 1,4 dioxane into ethylene glycol, glycolic acid, and formic acid. The 1,4 dioxane removal mechanisms were investigated using the density functional theory, demonstrating that doping of ZnO with metal atoms (Cu-Fe) narrowed the bandgap from 3.307 eV to 2.736 eV. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZnO was also supported by the role of biochar in increasing the reactive species and adsorbing the pollutant molecules. The high degradation efficiency of 1,4 dioxane using small catalyst doses with short reaction times would reduce the treatment cost and improve the system's applicability for treating HLL and industrial effluents.

Significant roles of surface functional groups and Fe/Co redox reactions on peroxymonosulfate activation by hydrochar-supported cobalt ferrite for simultaneous degradation of monochlorobenzene and p-chloroaniline. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 445:130588.

Abstract
CoFe2O4/hydrochar composites (FeCo@HC) were synthesized via a facile one-step hydrothermal method and utilized to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for simultaneous degradation of monochlorobenzene (MCB) and p-chloroaniline (PCA). Additionally, the effects of humic acid, Cl-, HCO3-, H2PO4-, HPO42- and water matrices were investigated and degradation pathways of MCB and PCA were proposed. The removal efficiencies of MCB and PCA were higher in FeCo@HC140-10/PMS system obtained under hydrothermal temperature of 140 °C than FeCo@HC180-10/PMS and FeCo@HC220-10/PMS systems obtained under higher temperatures. Radical species (i.e., SO4•-, •OH) and nonradical pathways (i.e., 1O2, Fe (IV)/Co (IV) and electron transfer through surface FeCo@HC140-10/PMS* complex) co-occurred in the FeCo@HC140-10/PMS system, while radical and nonradical pathways were dominant in degrading MCB and PCA respectively. The surface functional groups (i.e., C-OH and CO) and Fe/Co redox cycles played crucial roles in the PMS activation. MCB degradation was significantly inhibited in the mixed MCB/PCA solution over that in the single MCB solution, whereas PCA degradation was slightly promoted in the mixed MCB/PCA solution. These findings are significant for the provision of a low-cost and environmentally-benign synthesis of bimetal-hydrochar composites and more detailed understanding of the related mechanisms on PMS activation for simultaneous removal of the mixed contaminants in groundwater.

Roles of soil active constituents in the degradation of sulfamethoxazole by biochar/persulfate: Contrasting effects of iron minerals and organic matter. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 853:158532. [PMID: 36075408 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.158532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The biochar/persulfate (BC/PS) has been extensively applied in the degradation of organic contaminants in the aqueous solutions. However, much less work has been done on the degradation of organic contaminants in soil by BC/PS, especially on the unclear roles of soil active constituents in the degradation. This study was conducted to investigate the degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in two soils through PS oxidation activated by biochar. Biochar was produced via the pyrolysis of peanut shell at 400 °C and 700 °C, which was denoted as BC400 and BC700, respectively. Two soils used were red soil and paddy soil, mainly differing in iron minerals and organic matter. Both biochar promoted SMX degradation (42.6 %-90.7 %) in two soils, compared to PS alone (20.9 %-41.7 %). In BC400/PS system, the free radicals were the dominant reactive species for SMX degradation, while the electron transfer pathway played a vital role in the SMX degradation by BC700/PS. Higher SMX degradation was observed in red soil (41.7 %-97.8 %) than that in paddy soil (20.3 %-94.8 %), which was ascribed to the promotion of iron minerals in red soil yet the inhibition of organic matter in paddy soil. Specifically, the reaction between ≡Fe(III)/≡Fe(II) and PS on the surface of iron minerals in red soil generated more SO4•- and •OH, resulting in the enhanced SMX degradation. However, the consumption of free radicals and suppression of electron transfer pathway by organic matter in paddy soil inhibited SMX degradation. As the comparative carbonaceous materials to biochar, graphite exerted no obvious degradation effect, whereas activated carbon exhibited the comparable promoting efficacy to BC700. Both biochar, especially BC700, significantly (p < 0.05) alleviated the adverse effects of PS treatment on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth. Overall, this study demonstrates that biochar/persulfate was effective in SMX degradation in soil and the degradation was affected by soil iron minerals and organic matter, which should be paid more attention in the persulfate remediation of organic contaminated soils at a specific site.
