[PMID: 39303791 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2024] [Revised: 09/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/15/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
Industrial and human activities have led to serious soil and water pollution. Traditional remediation techniques have problems such as high treatment costs and the tendency to cause secondary pollution. Soil minerals and humic matters are common active components in soils. Both play vital roles and are frequently bound together to form humic matters-mineral complexes, which are considered sustainable and eco-friendly materials for environmental remediation and improvement. However, due to the complexity of humic matters-mineral interactions and the wide variation in the removal of different pollutants, there is a lack of research in this area. This paper provides a comprehensive introduction and summary of the interaction mechanisms between humic matters and typical soil minerals such as layered phosphate minerals and iron oxides, and their applications in environmental remediation, especially for the treatment of heavy metals (lead, mercury, chromium and cadmium) and organic pollutants (antibiotics, pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in water and soil. The humic matters-mineral complex can reduce the toxicity and migration rate of pollutants through adsorption, electrostatic attraction, together with H-bonding and hydrophobic interactions, reducing the harm of these pollutants to soil and water environments and realizing the efficient remediation of soil and water environments. And compared with the traditional treatment technology, this method is more green and environmental protection, and the treatment cost is greatly reduced. Finally, the deficiencies of using humic matters-mineral complex to achieve soil and water remediation were summarized and also proposed directions for future endeavors as well as concrete measures.

MoS 2 coupled with ball milling co-modified sludge biochar to efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate for neonicotinoids degradation: Dominant roles of SO 4•-, 1O 2 and surface-bound radicals. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024:119983. [PMID: 39270958 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2024] [Revised: 08/28/2024] [Accepted: 09/10/2024] [Indexed: 09/15/2024]
Abstract
An efficient catalyst of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) coupled with ball milling modified sludge biochar (BMSBC) was prepared to efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for neonicotinoids elimination. As expected, 95.1% of imidacloprid (IMI) was degraded by PMS/BMSBC system within 60 min and it was accompanied by the outstanding mineralization rate of 71.9%. The superior pore structures, rich defects, oxygen-containing functional groups and grafted MoS2 on BMSBC offered excellent activation performance for PMS. The influencing factor experiments demonstrated that PMS/BMSBC system performed high anti-interference to wide pH range and background constituents (e.g., inorganic ions and humic acid). Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis revealed that SO4•-, 1O2, and surface-bound radicals played critical roles in IMI degradation. Electron donors on biochar activated PMS , producing surface radicals. The lone pair electrons within the Lewis basic site of C=O on BMSBC enhanced PMS decomposition by facilitating the cleavage of the -O-O- bond in PMS to release 1O2. The activation process of PMS by MoS2 accelerated the oxidation of Mo (IV) to Mo (VI) to generate SO4•-. Based on the transformed products (TPs), four degradation pathways of IMI in PMS/BMSBC system were suggested, and all TPs toxicity levels were lower than that of IMI by ECOSAR analysis. Additionally, BMSBC exhibited outstanding sustainable catalytic activity towards PMS activation with the well accepted degradation rate of 71.3% for IMI even after five reuse cycles. PMS/BMSBC system also exhibited satisfactory degradation rates (>71.8%) for IMI in various real waters (e.g., sewage effluent, and livestock wastewater). Furthermore, PMS/BMSBC system also offered a favorable broad-spectrum elimination performance for other typical neonicotinoids (e.g., thiamethoxam, clothianidin, thiacloprid) with the degradation rates over 98%. This study has developed a desirable neonicotinoids purification technology in view of its high degradation/mineralization rate, outstanding detoxification performance, satisfied anti-interference to ambient conditions and sustainable sludge management.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 350:124039. [PMID: 38670426 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124039] [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: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Although various activated sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) systems were proven to be promising strategies for recalcitrant organics treatment, the direct interaction between NaClO and pollutants without explicit activation is quite limited. In this work, a revolutionary approach to degrade sulfathiazole (STZ) in aqueous and soil slurry by single NaClO without any activator was proposed. The results demonstrated that 100% and 94.11% of STZ could be degraded by 0.025 mM and 5 mM NaClO in water and soil slurry, respectively. The elimination of STZ was shown to involve superoxide anion (O2•-), chlorine oxygen radical (ClO•), and hydroxyl radical (•OH), according to quenching experiments and the analysis of electron paramagnetic resonance. The addition of Cl-, HCO3-, SO42-, and humic acid (HA) marginally impeded the decomposition of STZ, while NO3-, Fe3+, and Mn2+ facilitated the process. The NaClO process exhibited significant removal effectiveness at a neutral initial pH. Moreover, the NaClO facilitated application in various soil samples and water matrices, and the procedure was also successful in effectively eliminating a range of sulfonamides. The suggested NaClO degradation mechanism of STZ was based on the observed intermediates, and the majority of the products exhibited lower ecotoxicity than STZ. Besides, the experiment results by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) indicated the negligible effects on the composition and structure of soil by the treatment of NaClO. Simultaneously, the experimental results also illustrated that the bioavailability of heavy metals and the physiochemical characteristics of the soil before and after the remediation did not change to a significant extent. Following the remediation of NaClO, the phytotoxicity tests showed reduced toxicity to wheat and cucumber seeds. As a result, treating soil and water contaminated with STZ by using NaClO was a reasonably practical and eco-friendly method.

Immobilized bioreactor for enhanced ammonia, phosphorus, and phenol removal and effects of phenol on microbial communities, potential functions, and nitrogen metabolism. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 393:130161. [PMID: 38065515 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.130161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024]
Abstract
In the present study, an immobilized bioreactor was established to remove ammonia (NH4+-N), phosphate (PO43--P), and phenol using composite mycelium spheres (CMP) as the immobilization material in combination with Pseudomonas sp. Y1. Under optimal operating conditions, the bioreactor achieved 98.07, 91.71, and 92.57 % removal of NH4+-N, PO43--P, and phenol, respectively. The results showed that the bioreactor removed PO43--P by biomineralization and co-precipitation. Phenol removal relied on a Fenton-like reaction achieved by CMP-induced quinone redox cycling. High-throughput sequencing analysis and functional gene prediction indicated that Pseudomonas was the dominant genus and that the bioreactor had much potential for nitrogen removal, respectively. In addition, phenol affected the performance of functional genes and the associated enzymes, which influenced the nitrogen metabolism process in the bioreactor. This work serves as a guideline for the development of more stable and sustainable composite pollution removal technologies and fungal-bacterial symbiotic systems.
