Research Progress on the Degradation of Organic Pollutants in Water by Activated Persulfate Using Biochar-Loaded Nano Zero-Valent Iron. Molecules 2024; 29:1130. [PMID: 38474642 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29051130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Biochar (BC) is a new type of carbon material with a high specific surface area, porous structure, and good adsorption capacity, which can effectively adsorb and enrich organic pollutants. Meanwhile, nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) has excellent catalytic activity and can rapidly degrade organic pollutants through reduction and oxidation reactions. The combined utilization of BC and nZVI can not only give full play to their advantages in the adsorption and catalytic degradation of organic pollutants, but also help to reduce the agglomeration of nZVI, thus improving its efficiency in water treatment and providing strong technical support for water resources protection and environmental quality improvement. This article provides a detailed introduction to the preparation method and characterization technology, reaction mechanism, influencing factors, and specific applications of BC and nZVI, and elaborates on the research progress of BC-nZVI in activating persulfate (PS) to degrade organic pollutants in water. It has been proven experimentally that BC-nZVI can effectively remove phenols, dyes, pesticides, and other organic pollutants. Meanwhile, in response to the existing problems in current research, this article proposes future research directions and challenges, and summarizes the application prospects and development trends of BC-nZVI in water treatment. In summary, BC-nZVI-activated PS is an efficient technology for degrading organic pollutants in water, providing an effective solution for protecting water resources and improving environmental quality, and has significant application value.

Abstract
Increasing organic pollution in soil and water has garnered considerable attention in recent years. Nano zero-valent iron-modified biochar (nZVI/BC) has been proven to remediate the contaminated environment effectively due to its abundant active sites and unique reducing properties. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the application of nZVI/BC in organic polluted environmental remediation and its mechanisms. Firstly, the review introduced primary synthetic methods of nZVI/BC, including in-situ synthesis (carbothermal reduction and green synthesis) and post-modification (liquid-phase reduction and ball milling). Secondly, the application effects of nZVI/BC were discussed in remediating soil and water polluted by antibiotics, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and dyes. Thirdly, this review explored the mechanisms of the adsorption and chemical degradation of nZVI/BC, and synergistic degradation mechanisms of nZVI/BC-AOPs and nZVI/BC-Microbial interactions. Fourth, the factors that influence the removal of organic pollutants using nZVI/BC were summarized, encompassing synthesis conditions (raw materials, pyrolysis temperature and aging of nZVI/BC) and external factors (reagent dosage, pH, and coexisting substances). Finally, this review proposed future challenges for the application of nZVI/BC in environmental remediation. This review offers valuable insights for advancing technology in the degradation of organic pollutants using nZVI/BC and promoting its on-site application.

Abstract
The pollution of soil and aquatic systems by inorganic and organic chemicals has become a global concern. Economical, eco-friendly, and sustainable solutions are direly required to alleviate the deleterious effects of these chemicals to ensure human well-being and environmental sustainability. In recent decades, biochar has emerged as an efficient material encompassing huge potential to decontaminate a wide range of pollutants from soil and aquatic systems. However, the application of raw biochars for pollutant remediation is confronting a major challenge of not getting the desired decontamination results due to its specific properties. Thus, multiple functionalizing/modification techniques have been introduced to alter the physicochemical and molecular attributes of biochars to increase their efficacy in environmental remediation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in developing multiple functionalized/modified biochars via biological and other physiochemical techniques. Related mechanisms and further applications of multiple modified biochar in soil and water systems remediation have been discussed and summarized. Furthermore, existing research gaps and challenges are discussed, as well as further study needs are suggested. This work epitomizes the scientific prospects for a complete understanding of employing modified biochar as an efficient candidate for the decontamination of polluted soil and water systems for regenerative development.

Abstract
Antibiotics in aquatic environments present a serious threat to the ecological environment and human health. Activation of carbon-catalyzed persulfate is a prospective approach for oxidizing antibiotics. There is a pressing need for inexpensive carbon catalysts of high quality. In this study, biochar (BC) modified by Fe, Mn and Fe@Mn was employed to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade carbamazepine (CBZ) in water. The surface of Fe@Mn BC had a dense, stalactite-like morphology comprising a square chassis that was elliptical. The catalyst Fe@Mn-BC possessed the optimal degradation effect (99%) on CBZ at 100 min. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and the quenching spectrum suggested that ˙O2- and 1O2 contributed to CBZ degradation.

Abstract
In this study, the removal of Crocein Orange G dye (COG) from aqueous solution was investigated using an innovative green catalyst to overcome problems with chemical techniques. Clay bentonite El Hamma (HB)-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) was used as a heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst for the oxidation of harmful COG. Palm waste extract was herein used as a reducing and capping agent to synthesize NZVI, and HB clay was employed, which was obtained from the El Hamma bentonite deposit in the Gabes province of Tunisia. HB and HB-NZVI were characterized by various techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and zeta potential. Under optimal conditions, total degradation of COG was attained within 180 min. Kinetic studies showed that the dye degradation rate followed well the pseudo-second-order model. The apparent activation energy was 33.11 kJ/mol, which is typical of a physically controlled reaction. The degradation pathways and mineralization study revealed that the adsorption-Fenton-like reaction was the principal mechanism that demonstrated 100% degradation efficiency of COG even after three successive runs. Obtained results suggest that HB-NZVI is an affective heterogeneous catalyst for the degradation of COG by H2O2 and may constitute a sustainable green catalyst for azoic dye removal from industrial wastewaters.

Abstract
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) is a material that is extensively applied for water pollution treatment, but its poor dispersibility, easy oxidation, and inconvenient collection limit its application. To overcome these drawbacks and limit secondary contamination of nanomaterials, we confine NZVI supported by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in the scaffold of sodium alginate (SA) gel beads (SA/NZVI-rGO). Scanning electron microscopy showed that the NZVI was uniformly dispersed in the gel beads. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that the hydrogen bonding and conjugation between SA and rGO allowed the NZVI-rGO to be successfully embedded in SA. Furthermore, the mechanical strength, swelling resistance, and Cr(VI) removal capacity of SA/NZVI-rGO were enhanced by optimizing the ratio of NZVI and rGO. Interestingly, cation exchange may drive Cr(VI) removal above 82% over a wide pH range. In the complex environment of actual Cr(VI) wastewater, Cr(VI) removal efficiency still reached 70.25%. Pseudo-first-order kinetics and Langmuir adsorption isotherm are preferred to explain the removal process. The mechanism of Cr(VI) removal by SA/NZVI-rGO is dominated by reduction and adsorption. The sustainable removal of Cr(VI) by packed columns could be well fitted by the Thomas, Adams-Bohart, and Yoon-Nelson models, and importantly, the gel beads maintained integrity during the prolonged removal. These results will contribute significant insights into the practical application of SA/NZVI-rGO beads for the Cr(VI) removal in aqueous environments.

Abstract
In this study, a composite of pond mud and lanthanum- and nano-zero valent iron-modified-biochar was investigated for its ability to adsorb methylene blue (MB) and sulfamethazine (SMZ). La-modified attapulgite and nano-zero valent iron (surface area enhanced by 43.7% via Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis) were successfully loaded onto the straw-sediment biochar (BC) surface. With the increase in pyrolysis temperature, the biocompatibility yield, the H, O, and N content, and the ratio of carbon elements decreased, while the pH value, surficial micropores, C element, and ash content increased. The biocarbon small molecules were gradually and tightly ordered, and the organic groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl groups, and carbon oxygen double bonds were gradually lost or disappeared. The original Fe-BC had more phenolic hydroxyl groups forming an intermolecular hydrogen bond than others with a higher adsorption capacity possibly through the Schiff base reaction. The effect of various pH (2-9), temperature (15-35 °C), and initial concentration (1-25 mg L-1) on adsorption was investigated. pH and temperature were the main factors governing the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacity was observed at pH 4. The adsorption performances for MB followed the order Fe-BC > La-BC > BC, and the maximum removal rate was over 98.45% with pH = 7. The three types of BC dosages between 0.2 (6.67 g L-1) and 0.4 g showed a removal rate of 99% for MB. The adsorption capacity of Fe-BC, La-BC, and BC for MB was 2.201, 1.905, and 2.401 mg L-1 with pH = 4, while 4.79, 4.58, and 5.55 mg g-1 were observed with BC dosage at 0.025 g. For SMZ, the higher the temperature, the better the adsorption effect, and it reaches saturation at approximately 25 °C. To further evaluate the nature of adsorption, Langmuir/Freundlich/Temkin models were tested and the adsorption capacities were evaluated on the surface of the BC composite. The three modified materials were physisorbed to SMZ, while MB was chemisorbed. For MB, the adsorption performance of BC is the best < 0.2 g (6.67 g L-1) at pH 7.0 at 35 °C. The Elovich model was more suitable for MB, while the Freundlich and Temkin models could better fit the adsorption process of MB. The preparatory secondary dynamics equation and Langmuir equation were more compliant for SMZ, and the saturated adsorption capacities of straw-modified, La-BC, and Fe-BC reached 5.699, 6.088, and 5.678 mg L-1, respectively.

Abstract
Emerging contaminants can be removed effectively in heterogeneous Fenton-like systems. Currently, catalyst activity and contaminant removal mechanisms have been studied extensively in Fenton-like systems. However, a systematic summary was lacking. This review summarized: 1) The effects of various heterogeneous catalysts on emerging contaminants degradation by activating H2O2; 2) The role of active sites in different catalysts during the activation of H2O2 and their contribution to the generation of active species; 3) The modulation of degradation pathways of emerging contaminants. This paper will help scholars to advance the controlled construction of active sites in heterogeneous Fenton-like systems. Suitable heterogeneous Fenton catalysts can be selected in practical water treatment processes.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 341:117955.

Abstract
Iron in biochar composite loaded with Fe (Fex@biochar) is crucial for persulfate activation. However, the iron dosages-driven mechanism linked to the speciation, electrochemical property, and persulfate activation with Fex@biochar remains ambiguous. We synthesized and characterized a series of Fex@biochar and evaluated its catalytic performance in 2,4-dinitrotoluene removal experiments. With increasing FeCl3 dosage, iron speciation in Fex@biochar changed from γ-Fe2O3 to Fe3O4, and the variation in functional groups was as follows: Fe-O, aliphatic C-O-H, O-H, aliphatic C-H, aromatic CC or CO, and C-N. The electron accepting capacity of Fex@biochar increased as the FeCl3 dosage increased from 10 to 100 mM but decreased at 300 and 500 mM FeCl3. 2,4-dinitrotoluene removal first increased and subsequently decreased, reaching 100% in the persulfate/Fe100@biochar system. The Fe100@biochar also showed good stability and reusability for PS activation, verified by five test cycles. The mechanism analysis indicated that the iron dosage altered the Fe (Ⅲ) content and electron accepting capacity of Fex@biochar during pyrolysis, further controlling persulfate activation and 2,4-dinitrotoluene removal. These results support the preparation of eco-friendly Fex@biochar catalysts.

In the framework of wastewater treatment plants, sewage sludge can be directed to biochar production, which when coupled with an external iron source has the potential to be used as a carbon-iron composite material for treating various organic pollutants in advanced oxidation processes. In this research, "green" synthesized nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) supported on sewage sludge-based biochar (BC)-nZVI-BC was used in the Fenton process for the degradation of the recalcitrant organic molecule. In this way, the circular economy principles were supported within wastewater treatment with immediate loop closing; unlike previous papers, where only the water treatment was assessed, the authors proposed a new approach to wastewater treatment, combining solutions for both water and sludge. The following phases were implemented: synthesis and characterization of nano zero-valent iron supported on sewage sludge-based biochar (nZVI-BC); optimization of organic pollutant removal (Reactive Blue 4 as the model pollutant) by nZVI-BC in the Fenton process, using a Definitive Screening Design (DSD) model; reuse of the obtained Fenton sludge, as an additional catalytic material, under previously optimized conditions; and assessment of the exhausted Fenton sludge's ability to be used as a source of nutrients. nZVI-BC was used in the Fenton treatment for the degradation of Reactive Blue 4-a model substance containing a complex and stable anthraquinone structure. The DSD model proposes a high dye-removal efficiency of 95.02% under the following optimal conditions: [RB4] = 50 mg/L, [nZVI] = 200 mg/L, [H2O2] = 10 mM. pH correction was not performed (pH = 3.2). Afterwards, the remaining Fenton sludge, which was thermally treated (named FStreated), was applied as a heterogeneous catalyst under the same optimal conditions with a near-complete organic molecule degradation (99.56% ± 0.15). It could be clearly noticed that the cumulative amount of released nutrients significantly increased with the number of leaching experiments. The highest cumulative amounts of released K, Ca, Mg, Na, and P were therefore observed at the fifth leaching cycle (6.40, 1.66, 1.12, 0.62, 0.48 and 58.2 mg/g, respectively). According to the nutrient release and toxic metal content, FStreated proved to be viable for agricultural applications; these findings illustrated that the "green" synthesis of nZVI-BC not only provides innovative and efficient Fenton catalysts, but also constitutes a novel approach for the utilization of sewage sludge, supporting overall process sustainability.

Abstract
Biochar has shown large potential in environmental remediation because of its low cost, large specific surface area, porosity, and high conductivity. Biochar-assisted advanced oxidation processes (BC-AOPs) have recently attracted increasing attention to the remediation of organic pollutants from water. However, the effects of biochar properties on catalytic performance need to be further explored. There are still controversial and knowledge gaps in the reaction mechanisms of BC-AOPs, and regeneration methods of biochar catalysts are lacking. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically review the latest research progress of BC-AOPs in the treatment of organic pollutants in water. In this review, first of all, the effects of biochar properties on catalytic activity are summarized. The biochar properties can be optimized by changing the feedstocks, preparation conditions, and modification methods. Secondly, the catalytic active sites and degradation mechanisms are explored in different BC-AOPs. Different influencing factors on the degradation process are analyzed. Then, the applications of BC-AOPs in environmental remediation and regeneration methods of different biochar catalysts are summarized. Finally, the development prospects and challenges of biochar catalysts in environmental remediation are put forward, and some suggestions for future development are proposed.

Abstract
Sulfidized nanoscale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI) was a promising material for degrading halogenated contaminants, but the easy aggregation limits its application for in-situ groundwater remediation. Hence, S-nZVI was decorated onto modified biochar (mBC) to obtain better dispersity and reactivity with florfenicol (FF), a widely used antibiotic. Uniform dispersion of S-nZVI particles were achieved on the mBC with plentiful oxygen-containing functional groups and negative surface charge. Thus, the removal rate of FF by S-nZVI@mBC was 2.5 and 3.1 times higher than that by S-nZVI and S-nZVI@BC, respectively. Adsorption and dechlorination of FF showed synergistic effect under appropriate mBC addition (e.g., C/Fe mass ratio = 1:3, 1:1), probably due to the enrichment of FF facilitates its reduction. In contrast, the contact between FF and S-nZVI could be hindered under more mBC addition, significantly decrease the reduction rate of FF and the reduction capacity of per unit Fe0. In addition, sulfur dose altered the surface species of surface Fe and S, and removal rates of FF correlated well with surface reductive species, i.e., FeS (r = 0.90, p < 0.05) and Fe0 (r = 0.98, p < 0.01). These mechanistic insights indicate the importance of rational design for biochar supported S-nZVI, which can lead to more efficient FF degradation.

Abstract
Herein, the catalytic activity of two types of iron-loaded perlite catalysts prepared by impregnation of raw and calcined perlite in terms of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (8-HQS) degradation was investigated by the Fenton reaction. Different iron contents were used to optimize the Fenton catalytic reaction. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized using different spectrophotometry techniques. The effect of some operating parameters on the Fenton oxidation of 8-HQS was carried out. Iron content of 10% has led to the highest catalytic efficiency. Furthermore, the oxidation of 8-HQS is highly affected by the addition of H2O2, proposing that the heterogeneous Fenton reaction has been successfully activated. Whatever the type of the used catalyst, the heterogeneous catalytic oxidation process is extremely rapid, even instantaneous. The synthesized catalysts remained potentially active and retained their catalytic activity for successive Fenton reactions suggesting their economic benefit over the homogenous Fenton process. Accordingly, the newly prepared heterogeneous solid could be successfully used to treat wastewater effluents containing persistent organic compounds.

Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CIP), an important emerging contaminant, has been frequently detected in water, and its efficient removal has become an issue of great concern. In this study, a nanocomposite material nZVI/PA was synthesized by impregnating nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) inside a millimeter-sized porous host (polystyrene-based anion exchange resin (PA)) for CIP removal. The nZVI/PA composite was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and it was confirmed that nZVI was uniformly dispersed in PA with a small particle size. Furthermore, several key factors were investigated including initial solution pH, initial CIP concentration, co-existing ions, organic ligands, and dissolved oxygen. The experimental results indicated that the nZVI/PA composites exhibited a high removal efficiency for CIP under the conditions of initial pH 5.0, and initial CIP concentration 50 mg L-1 at 25 °C, with the maximum removal rate of CIP reaching 98.5%. Moreover, the nZVI/PA composites exhibited high efficiency even after five cycles. Furthermore, quenching tests and electron spin resonance (ESR) confirmed that CIP degradation was attributed to hydroxyl (·OH) and superoxide radicals (⋅O2-). Finally, the main degradation products of CIP were analyzed, and degradation pathways including the hydroxylation of the quinolone ring, the cleavage of the piperazine ring, and defluorination were proposed. These results are valuable for evaluating the practical application of nZVI/PA composites for the removal of CIP and other fluoroquinolone antibiotics.

Abstract
Proper waste disposal is a key towards sustainable development. Wastewater treatment is delineated by the application of efficient, economic and novel catalysts. Biochar is derived from the thermochemical conversion of biomass or any carbonaceous materials and is considered as one of the most eco-friendly substitute for activated carbon. Owing to its large surface area, porosity, crystallinity and active functional groups, the biochar-based catalysts has been extensively applied for the abatement of toxic pollutants from wastewater streams. While most of the reviews focus on the adsorptive properties of the biochar, this review critically analyses the recent development of biochar-based catalysts in the field of advanced oxidation processes (Fenton-like systems, photocatalytic and sonocatalytic systems). The presence of persistent free radicals and oxygen-containing functional groups renders biochar to act as catalyst. The mechanisms accompanying catalytic performance of biochar-based catalysts have also been reviewed. However, the research in this area is quite at an initial phase, and many advancements schemes are essential prior to scale-up and commercialization. Future researches should be devoted to more efficient and rigorous understanding of the structural properties of biochar to engineer the catalytic degradation of targeted pollutants in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
One-step FeCl3-mediated pyrolysis/activation was developed for preparation of bermudagrass (BG)-derived FeCl3-activated biochars (FA-BCs) from bermudagrass (BG) as a heterogenous Fenton catalyst for heterogeneous Fenton oxidation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in water. The FA-BC prepared at the FeCl3 to BG mass ratio of 2 (FA-BC) exhibited higher adsorption and Fenton oxidation of SMX than other mass ratios of the FeCl3 to BG. FA-BC presented the great surface area (835 m2/g) and high SMX adsorption capacity (195 mg SMX/g BC), which was higher than various BCs in the previous studies. Additionally, the surface of FA-BC was attached with Fe2O3, Fe0, and Fe3O4 after the FeCl3 activation. Under the optimal conditions for Fenton reaction (SMX concentration, 100 mg/L; loading of FA-BC, 0.1 g/L; dose of H2O2, 200 mg/L; temperature, 20 °C; pH 3; reaction time, 12 h), SMX and COD removal efficiencies reached 99.94% and 65.19%, respectively. Increasing reaction temperature from 20 to 50 °C significantly improved the SMX oxidation rate from 0.46 to 1.04 h-1. The HO· radicals were proved to play a major role during the Fenton oxidation of SMX. In addition, the SMX solution treated by Fenton oxidation showed much less toxicity than the initial SMX solution. Additionally, the reusability tests of FA-BC indicated that 89.58% removal efficiency for SMX was still achieved after 3 cycles of Fenton oxidation under the optimal conditions. Furthermore, FA-BC can also efficiently remove SMX from the dairy wastewater. Therefore, FA-BC showed a high potential to eliminate aqueous SMX through adsorption and heterogeneous Fenton oxidation.

Abstract
In this study, hydrochar-based-eggshell was prepared via the subcritical water medium (SCWM) and used as a catalyst in the thermally activated peroxide oxidation (TAPO) approach for crystal violet and dye bathing wastewater degradation. The catalytic activities for the raw eggshell (RES) and hydrochar-based-eggshell (HES) were compared. RES and HES were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM),energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The affecting parameters on the degradation process were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of temperature (293-333 K), amount of catalyst (5-25 mg/50 mL), the concentration of H2O2 (0-8 mM), and treatment time (10-70 min) on the TAPO method were investigated using central composite design (CCD). For the crystal violet removal, two models were developed. Both models were significant and can be used to describe the design space. Also, the dye bathing wastewater degradation was described by another developed model, which had a high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.97). In general, catalytic activity for HES was higher than RES. The degradation of crystal violet reached 98.10% when a 20 mg HES catalyst and 6 mM H2O2 at 323 K for 55 min were used. While 97% of the color of dye bathing wastewater was removed in 55 min at 323 K using 25 mg of HES and 4 mM H2O2. This study showed that the hydrolyzed eggshells could be used in the oxidation of crystal violet and dye bathing wastewater by the thermally activated peroxide oxidation method.

Abstract
Nano zero-valent iron loaded porous carbon derived from microplastics was designed as heterogeneous catalyst for degradation of persistent organic pollutants. Controlled carbonization of microplastics with molten salt was conducted to tune the morphology of carbon product. Controlled carbonization induces higher carbon yield (from 17.73% to 52.24%) and larger surface area (from 403.72 m2/g to 601.82 m2/g). The catalyst (Fe/MMPC) was characterized by Raman, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope. Loading nano zero-valent iron onto porous carbon are verified in the catalyst. The process factors including Fe/MMPC dosage, H2O2, pH, anions, and temperature were studied to estimate the catalytic performance. Tetracycline degradation (81.8% within 10 min) is effectively obtained in the Fe/MMPC and H2O2 system. The apparent rate constant is 0.1311-0.2999 min-1 under different temperature, and the activation energy of catalytic process is 22 kJ/mol. Pollutants including rhodamine B, p-nitrophenol, and butylxanthate are efficiently degraded in the catalytic system. The predominant species of catalytic reactions are hydroxyl radicals, which are mainly produced from H2O2 activation enhanced by zero-valent iron in Fe/MMPC. This work offers an innovative strategy for microplastic management and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, Fe-rich biochar (RMRS-BC) was prepared from red mud and reed straw to improve sludge dewatering and transformation of heavy metals (HMs, including Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn). The optimal concentrations of RMRS-BC, Fe2+, and H2O2 to promote sludge dewaterability were identified by response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal dosages of RMRS-BC, Fe2+, and H2O2 were 74.0, 104.9, and 75.7 mg/g dry solids (DS), respectively. The corresponding capillary suction time (CST) and water content of sludge cake were 14.3 s and 51.25 wt%. For the improvement mechanism, heterogeneous and homogeneous Fenton reactions occurred due to RMRS-BC and Fe2+ activating H2O2. The extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) decomposed into dissolved organic matter (proteins and polysaccharides), thereby promoting the transformation of bound water to free water and further reducing the water content of the sludge cake. The research quantitatively assessed the environmental risk of heavy metals in the conditioned sludge cake based on bioavailability and ecotoxicity, pollution levels and potential ecological risks. Compound conditioning using RMRS-BC, Fe2+, and H2O2 could significantly improve the solubility and reduce the leaching toxicity of HMs. In general, RMRS-BC combined with Fe2+ to activate H2O2 provided an effective method to enhance sludge dewaterability and reduce HMs risk.

Hydrogen Peroxide Activated by Biochar-Supported Sulfidated Nano Zerovalent Iron for Removal of Sulfamethazine: Response Surface Method Approach. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:9923. [PMID: 36011563 PMCID: PMC9408743 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19169923] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Revised: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Biochar (BC)-supported sulfide-modified nanoscale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI/BC) was prepared using the liquid-phase reduction method for the application of the removal of sulfamethazine (SMZ) from water. The reaction conditions were optimized by the Box−Behnken response surface method (RSM). A model was constructed based on the influence factors of the removal rate, i.e., the carbon-to-iron ratio (C/Fe), iron-sulfur ratio (Fe/S), pH, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration, and the influence of each factor on the removal efficiency was investigated. The optimal removal process parameters were determined based on theoretical and experimental results. The results showed that the removal efficiency was significantly affected by the C/Fe ratio and pH (p < 0.0001) but relatively weakly affected by the Fe/S ratio (p = 0.0973) and H2O2 concentration (p = 0.022). The optimal removal process parameters were as follows: 0.1 mol/L H2O2, a pH of 3.18, a C/Fe ratio of 0.411, and a Fe/S ratio of 59.75. The removal rate of SMZ by S-nZVI/BC was 100% under these conditions. Therefore, it is feasible to use the Box−Behnken RSM to optimize the removal of emerging pollutants in water bodies by S-nZVI/BC.

Abstract
With increased demand for various chemical raw materials, sudden pollution incidents are more prone to occur during their transportation and usage, threatening the environment and human health. In this study, discarded tea stalks were recycled into composite materials (FSC-X00: X represents the calcination temperature) by impregnating tea stalks in Fe2+ solution combined with subsequent calcination. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) patterns verified the existence of Fe0 and Fe2O3, and Fe2O3 was gradually reduced to Fe0 when the calcination temperature was raised from 700 °C to 900 °C. FSC-X00 was adopted as a heterogeneous catalyst for activating H2O2 to quickly degrade phenol in the water system. The degradation experiments indicated that FSC-600 exhibited superior degradation performance for phenol (20 mg/L) within 5 min and 80% total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate at pH = 3 within 30 min. The effects of the calcination temperature, the pH value and the amount of H2O2 on the degradation efficiency were investigated. Competing experiments showed that fulvic acid (FA) and inorganic salts Na+ had little effect on the degradation performance. The FSC-600 catalyst can be reused by thermal reduction. In addition, it was found that FSC-600 has a good degradation effect on ciprofloxacin (CIP), norfloxacin (NOR) and enrofloxacin (ENR), indicating that FSC-600 catalysts are a promising candidate for quick degradation of organic pollutants by Fenton reaction. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra analysis indicated that •OH is the dominant reactive oxygen species (ROS) and part 1O2 from O2 also participated in the degradation. This study provides an example of creating catalysts from organic solid waste for use in emergency treatment for phenol.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 299:118893. [PMID: 35085649 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.118893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2021] [Revised: 01/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Biochar modification by metal/metal oxide is promising for improving its adsorption capability for contaminants, especially the anions. However, conventional chemical modifications are complicated and costly. In this study, novel Fe/Fe oxide loaded biochars (RMBCs) were synthesized from a one-step co-pyrolysis of red mud (RM) and shaddock peel (SP), and their potential application for removing anionic azo dye (acid orange 7, AO7) from the aqueous environment was evaluated. Fe from red mud was successfully loaded onto biochars pyrolyzed at 300-800 °C, which presented from oxidation form (Fe2O3) to the reduction forms (FeO and Fe0) with increasing pyrolysis temperature. The RMBC produced at 800 °C with RM:SP mass ratio of 1:1 (RMBC8001:1) exhibited the best capability for AO7 removal (∼32 mg/g), attributed to both adsorption and degradation. The higher surface area of RMBC8001:1 and its greater affinity for AO7 led to the higher adsorption. In addition, RMBC8001:1-induced degradation of AO7 was another key mechanism for AO7 removal. The reduction forms of Fe (FeO or Fe0) in RMBC8001:1 may provide electrons for breaking down the azo bond in AO7 molecules and result in degradation, which is further enhanced in acid conditions due to the participation of readily release of Fe2+ and the available H+ in AO7 degradation. Furthermore, RMBC8001:1 can be easily separated from the treated water by using magnetic field, which significantly benefits its separation in wastewater treatment.

New insights into iron/nickel-carbon ternary micro-electrolysis toward 4-nitrochlorobenzene removal: Enhancing reduction and unveiling removal mechanisms. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 612:308-322. [PMID: 34998191 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.12.116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2021] [Revised: 12/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The ternary micro-electrolysis material iron/nickel-carbon (Fe/Ni-AC) with enhanced reducibility was constructed by introducing the trace transition metal Ni based on the iron/carbon (Fe/AC) system and used for the removal of 4-nitrochlorobenzene (4-NCB) in solution. The composition and structures of the Fe/Ni-AC were analyzed by various characterizations to estimate its feasibility as reductants for pollutants. The removal efficiency of 4-NCB by Fe/Ni-AC was considerably greater than that of Fe/AC and iron/nickel (Fe/Ni) binary systems. This was mainly due to the enhanced reducibility of 4-NCB by the synergism between anode and double-cathode in the ternary micro-electrolysis system (MES). In the Fe/Ni-AC ternary MES, zero-iron (Fe0) served as anode involved in the formation of galvanic couples with activated carbon (AC) and zero-nickel (Ni0), respectively, where AC and Ni0 functioned as double-cathode, thereby promoting the electron transfer and the corrosion of Fe0. The cathodic and catalytic effects of Ni0 that existed simultaneously could not only facilitate the corrosion of Fe0 but also catalyze H2 to form active hydrogen (H*), which was responsible for 4-NCB transformation. Besides, AC acted as a supporter which could offer the reaction interface for in-situ reduction, and at the same time provide interconnection space for electrons and H2 to transfer from Fe0 to the surface of Ni0. The results suggest that a double-cathode of Ni0 and AC could drive much more electrons, Fe2+ and H*, thus serving as effective reductants for 4-NCB reduction.

Abstract
Predictive capability of response surface methodology (RSM) and ant colony optimization combined with support vector regression (ACO-SVR) models are applied for determining optimal parameters in the process of heterogeneous Fenton oxidation of melanoidin, a high molecular weight polymer widely produced during fermentation processes generating large quantities of wastewater with intense brown color and extremely high chemical oxygen demand (COD). Prediction of the performance of nano zero-valent iron supported on activated carbon cloth-chitosan (ACC-CH-nZVI) catalysts was carried out using Box-Behnken design (BBD) and analysis of variance to evaluate the interaction of independent variables involved in heterogeneous Fenton reaction. The optimized condition with minimal consumption of H2O2 (173 mM) resulted in 77.1% decolorization of melanoidin-contaminated water corresponding to 74.4% COD removal at pH 3 (600 mg/l Fe dosage) for 90 min reaction time. The corresponding weight ratio of H2O2 to COD was 0.98, much lower than the stoichiometric value 2.125, indicating the effectiveness of ACC-CH-nZVI as a heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst. In comparison to previously published experimental results, ACO-SVR model shows higher coefficient of determination (R2; 0.9983) but lower root mean squared error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) than those of RSM model, indicating relative superiority in prediction capability. Besides, ACO algorithm appears to be a promising tool for improving forecasting accuracy of SVR model. This work demonstrates the applicability of ACO-SVR model in predicting the performance of wastewater treatment using Fenton process with limited number of experiment and exhibits satisfactory prediction results.

Impregnating biochar with Fe and Cu by bioleaching for fabricating catalyst to activate H 2O 2. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:2249-2262.

Abstract
Biochar is an excellent support material for heterogeneous catalyst in Fenton reaction. However, fabrication of heterogeneous catalyst supported by biochar normally adopts chemical impregnation which is costly and difficult in post-treatment. Here, impregnation by bioleaching driven by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was developed. Bioleaching was particularly effective in loading iron to biochar. Iron loading amount was 225.5 mg/g after 10-g biochar was treated in bioleaching containing 40-g FeSO4·7H2O for 60 h. When copper was added into bioleaching, simultaneous impregnation with iron and copper could be achieved. Impregnation mechanism for iron was jarosite formation on biochar surface and adsorption for copper. For the high metal content, after pyrolysis, the final composites could activate hydrogen peroxide to decolorize dye effectively. With 15 mg as-synthesized Cu-Fe@biochar containing 254.3 mg/g iron and 33.4 mg/g copper, 50 mg/L reactive red 3BS or methylene blue could be decolorized completely in 20 min in a 100-mL solution by 16-mM H2O2 at pH 2.5. Compared with existing impregnation methods, bioleaching was facile, cheap and green, and deserved more concern. KEY POINTS: • High amount of Fe is loaded to biochar uniformly as jarosite by bioleaching. • Cu is adsorbed onto biochar during bioleaching. • Synthesized Cu-Fe@biochar is an excellent photo-Fenton catalyst.

Abstract
The degradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the simulated wastewaters was investigated by Fe-C micro-electrolysis system. With phenanthrene (PHE) and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) as target pollutants, different iron-carbon (Fe-C) micro-electrolysis systems have been established. The effects of initial pH, Fe/C mass ratio, and intake air flow on the degradation and mineralization of PHE and 2,4-DCP were studied. At the initial pH of 5.0, Fe/C of 1.5:1, and an aeration flow rate of 1.5 L/min, after 120 min of reaction, the removal efficiency of FHE and COD was 94.3% and 73%, respectively. Under the conditions of initial pH is 3.0, Fe/C is 1:2, aeration flow rate of 1.5 L/min, and reaction time of 90 min, the best removal efficiency of 2,4-DCP can be obtained in the Fe-C micro-electrolysis system as 97% and COD removal efficiency can reach 76%. The results of kinetic studies show that the Fe-C micro-electrolysis process of PHE and 2,4-DCP follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. Commercial activated carbon (AC) was used for comparison under the same condition. The results indicated that the removal rate of organic pollutants and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of Fe-C micro-electrolysis were superior to that of AC. Analyze the structure of iron after reaction by SEM and XRD. The degradation pathway and mechanism for PHE and 2,4-DCP were proposed based on LC-MS analyses of treated wastewater.

Abstract
Fe-based catalysts as low-cost, high-efficiency, and non-toxic materials display superior catalytic performances in activating hydrogen peroxide, persulfate (PS), peracetic acid (PAA), percarbonate (PC), and ozone to degrade organic contaminants in aqueous solutions. They mainly include ferrous salts, zero-valent iron, iron-metal composites, iron sulfides, iron oxyhydroxides, iron oxides, and supported iron-based catalysts, which have been widely applied in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). However, there is lack of a comprehensive review systematically reporting their synthesis, characterization, and applications. It is imperative to evaluate the catalytic performances of various Fe-based catalysts in diverse AOPs systems and reveal the activation mechanisms of different oxidants by Fe-based catalysts. This work detailedly summarizes the synthesis methods and characterization technologies of Fe-based catalysts. This paper critically evaluates the catalytic performances of Fe-based catalysts in diverse AOPs systems. The effects of solution pH, reaction temperature, coexisting ions, oxidant concentration, catalyst dosage, and external energy on the degradation of organic contaminants in the Fe-based catalyst/oxidant systems and the stability of Fe-based catalysts are also discussed. The activation mechanisms of various oxidants and the degradation pathways of organic contaminants in the Fe-based catalyst/oxidant systems are revealed by a series of novel detection methods and characterization technologies. Future research prospects on the potential preparation means of Fe-based catalysts, practical applications, assistive technologies, and impact in AOPs are proposed.

Abstract
The sea contains elements that can play a useful role in catalyzing reactions. Therefore, this research was done to focus on eliminating amoxicillin (AMX) from wastewater utilizing zeolite Y- sea salt catalyst in the presence of H2O2. The influences of furnace temperature (200-500 °C) and time duration in the furnace (1-4 h) were optimized during catalyst generation. Also, the effects of different parameters on AMX removal, such as pH (5.0-9.0), catalyst dose (0-10 g.L-1), AMX concentration (50-300 mg.L-1), contact time (10-130 min), and H2O2 concentration (0-6 mL/100 mL distilled water) were investigated. Different analyses like Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were conducted to reveal catalyst properties. The BET-specific surface area of the catalyst (12.69 m2g-1) insignificantly (p-value > 0.05) changed after AMX removal (13.04 m2g-1), indicating the strength of the prepared catalyst. The active groups of N-H, O-H-O, O-Si-O, C-H, Si-O-Si, and Si-O-Al were determined in the catalyst structure. The highest removal of AMX (93%) was achieved in the zeolite-sea salt/H2O2 system at a pH level of 6.0 and an H2O2 concentration of 0.1 mL/100 mL. Elimination of the AMX followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The catalyst was reclaimed up to 7 times and the removal efficiency was suitable up to the fifth stage. The by-products and reaction pathways were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that zeolite-sea salt can be utilized as an H2O2 activator for the effective degradation of AMX from wastewater.

ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND HEALTH 2022; 44:195-206.

Abstract
In the present study, the biochar derived from sunflower husks was used as a mediator in the heterogeneous Fenton process. The physical and chemical characteristics were studied in terms of specific surface area, elemental contents, surface morphology, surface functional groups, thermal stability, and X-ray crystallography. The main aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of biochar in a heterogeneous Fenton process catalyzed by hematite toward the degradation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in Haplic Chernozem. The Fenton-like reaction was performed at a pH of 7.8 without pH adjustment in chernozem soil. The effects of operating parameters, such as hematite dosage and H2O2 concentrations, were investigated with respect to the removal efficiency of BaP. The overall degradation of 65% was observed at the optimized conditions where 2 mg g-1 hematite and 1.25 M H2O2 corresponded to the H2O2 to Fe ratio of 22:1. Moreover, the biochar amendment showed an increment in the removal efficiency and promotion in the growth of spring barley (Hordeum sativum distichum). The BaP removal was reached 75 and 95% after 2.5 and 5% w/w addition of biochar, respectively. The results suggested that the Fenton-like reaction's effectiveness would be greatly enhanced by the ability of biochar for activation of H2O2 and ejection of the electron to reduce Fe(III) to Fe(II). Finally, the presence of biochar could enhance the soil physicochemical properties, as evidenced by the better growth of Hordeum sativum distichum compared to the soil without biochar. These promising results open up new opportunities toward the application of a modified Fenton reaction with biochar for remediating BaP-polluted soils.

Abstract
Biochar's ability to mediate and facilitate microbial contamination degradation, as well as its carbon-sequestration potential, has sparked interest in recent years. The scope, possible advantages (economic and environmental), and future views are all evaluated in this review. We go over the many designed processes that are taking place and show why it is critical to look into biochar production for resource recovery and the role of bioengineered biochar in waste recycling. We concentrate on current breakthroughs in the fields of engineered biochar application techniques to systematically and sustainable technology. As a result, this paper describes the use of biomass for biochar production using various methods, as well as its use as an effective inclusion material to increase performance. The impact of biochar amendments on microbial colonisation, direct interspecies electron transfer, organic load minimization, and buffering maintenance is explored in detail. The majority of organic and inorganic (heavy metals) contaminants in the environment today are caused by human activities, such as mining and the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which can be treated sustainably by using engineered biochar to promote the establishment of a sustainable engineered process by inducing the circular bioeconomy.

Abstract
During the latest several decades, the continuous development of the economy and industry has brought more and more serious organic pollutants to the natural environment, which have inevitably aroused severe menace to human health and the environmental system. The nano zero-valent iron (NZVI) particles and NZVI-based materials have widely applied to remove organic pollutants. This article reviews the key advancements of different methods for the synthesis of NZVI and NZVI-based materials. Different modification methods (e.g., doped NZVI, encapsulated NZVI and supported NZVI) are also introduced detailedly for overcoming the defects of NZVI such as aggregation and easy oxidation. The removal of different organic pollutants including dyes, halogenated organic compounds, nitro-organic compounds, phenolic compounds, pesticides, and antibiotics are summarized. The interaction mechanisms, including adsorption, reduction, and active oxidation of organic pollutants by NZVI/NZVI-based composites, are discussed. The dyes are mainly removed by destroying their chromogenic group according to the reduction or the Fenton-like reaction with NZVI. The removal of halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) is realized by the dehalogenation process, including reductive elimination, hydrogenolysis, and hydrogenation. As for the nitro-organic compounds, three different reduction pathways as nitro-reduction (into amino), cleavage at the carbon‑nitrogen bond or denitration of the NO2 group may take effect. The phenolic compounds can be mineralized into inorganic molecules, including CO2 and H2O, by Fenton oxidation. This review might provide the basis for future studies on developing more effective NZVI-based materials for the treatment of wastewaters contaminated by organic pollutants.

Abstract
Real hospital wastewater was effectively treated by a promising technology based on degradation reaction catalyzed by Fe0 under microwave irradiation in this work. Fe0 powders were synthesized and characterized by different techniques, resulting in a single-phase sample with spherical particles. Optimum experimental conditions were determined by a central composite rotatable design combined with a response surface methodology, resulting in 96.8% of chemical oxygen demand reduction and 100% organic carbon removal, after applying MW power of 780 W and Fe0 dosage of 0.36 g L-1 for 60 min. Amongst the several organic compounds identified in the wastewater sample, diclofenac and ibuprofen were present in higher concentrations; therefore, they were set as target pollutants. Both compounds were completely degraded in 35 min of reaction time. Their plausible degradation pathways were investigated and proposed. Overall, the method developed in this work effectively removed high concentrations of pharmaceuticals in hospital wastewater.

Abstract
In this paper, Zeolite-MgO was generated using alkali-thermal method and was utilized as a catalyst to decrease amoxicillin (AMX) concentration in the presence of H2O2 from wastewater. Different tests like Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), field emission scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray analysis (FESEM-EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were done to determine catalyst properties. Active groups of C-S-C, CO, CC, C-N, C-O, N-O, and N-H were identified in catalyst frame. According to XRD results, lower crystallinity of nanoparticles after modification of zeolite by MgO can lead to improvement of AMX removal. Active surface of zeolite (2.32 m2/g) was increased after optimization by MgO to 2.96 m2/g, indicating an increase in the catalyst capacity for activation of H2O2. In addition, furnace temperature (200-500 °C), residence time in the furnace (1-4 h), and Mg(NO3)2: zeolite ratio (0.25: 2, 0.5:2, 1:2 w/w) were studied to achieve the optimized catalyst for AMX removal. Different parameters like pH (5-9), H2O2 concentration (0-6 mL/100 mL), dose of catalyst (0-10 g/L), AMX concentration (50-300 mg/L), and reaction time (10-130 min) were also studied. The best efficiency (97.9%) of AMX removal was achieved at acidic pH with the lowest amount of H2O2 (0.1 mL/100 mL) and 7 g/L of catalyst. AMX removal using the developed process followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. Reclaimable Zeolite-MgO catalyst can be effectively utilized in wastewater works.

Abstract
The removal of organic pollutants from water environments is a challenging problem. Fe-based BC (Fe-BC) composites are promising catalysts for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) for environmental remediation considering their low costs and excellent physicochemical surface characteristics. The synthesis methods, properties, applications, and the mechanism of Fe-BC for removing pollutants are reviewed. Various methods have been used to prepare Fe-BC composites, and the synthetic methods and conditions used affect the properties of the Fe-BC material, thereby influencing its pollutant removal performance. The mechanisms of pollutant removal by Fe-BC are intricate and include adsorption, degradation and reduction. Fe loading on BC could improve the performance of BC by affecting its surface area, surface functional groups and electron transfer rate. Moreover, research gaps and uncertainties that exist in the use of Fe-BC were identified. Finally, the problems that need to be solved to make Fe-BC suitable for future applications are described.

Abstract
Schwertmannite was successfully loaded onto biochar (Sch@BC) using a biosynthetic method. The physicochemical properties and structural morphology of Sch@BC were explored using XRD, SEM, BET, and XPS. The results showed that introducing biochar can effectively prevent the agglomeration of Sch. The catalytic activity of Sch@BC in the Fenton-like degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was also systematically investigated under different reaction conditions. Under optimum conditions ([SMX] = 10 mg L-1, [H2O2] = 2.0 mM, Sch@BC = 1.0 g L-1 and initial pH = 3.0), the removal efficiencies of the SMX and total organic carbon (TOC) were 100% and 45.9%, respectively, within 60 min of the reaction. The results of the radical scavenger effect and ESR studies suggested that the SMX degradation in the Sch@BC/H2O2 system was dominated by a heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction. The repeated use of Sch@BC for SMX degradation demonstrated its reusability and stability in Fenton-like reactions. There was also speculation about the degradation mechanism and pathways of SMX. Furthermore, under the same conditions, the removal efficiencies of sulfadiazine (SD) and sulfisoxazole (SIZ) under Fenton-like degradation in the Sch@BC system were 91% and 93%. The results provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the creation of a new catalyst using biochar as a support material for the degradation of sulfanilamide antibiotics.

Abstract
In the last years, the synthesis and applications of biochar/Fe composites have been extensively studied, but only few papers have systematically evaluated their removal performances. Herein, we successfully synthesized and structurally characterized Fe0, Fe3C, and Fe3O4-coated biochars (BCs) for the removal of chlortetracycline hydrochloride (CH). Evaluation of their removal rate and affinity revealed that Fe0@BC could achieve better and faster CH removal and degradation than Fe3C@BC and Fe3O4@BC. The removal rate was controlled by the O-Fe content and solution pH after the reaction. The CH adsorption occurred on the O C groups of Fe0@BC and the OC and OFe groups of Fe3C@BC and Fe3O4@BC. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis and radical quenching experiments indicated that HO and 1O2/ O2- were mainly responsible for CH degradation by biochar/Fe composites. Additional parameters, such as effects of initial concentrations and coexisting anions, regeneration capacity, cost and actual wastewater treatment were also explored. Principal component analysis was applied for a comprehensive and quantitative assessment of the three materials, indicating Fe0@BC is the most beneficial functional material for CH removal.

Abstract
Biochar is a carbon-rich material that can be obtained from pyrolysis of solid waste (e.g., agricultural solid waste and sludge from wastewater treatment plants). Biochar features low cost, large specific surface area, and strong adsorption capacity. New biochar composites can be produced via modification and loading of nano particles onto biochar. Biochar can contribute to the dispersion and stabilization of nano particles. In addition, nano particles can increase the number of surface-active sites, which improves the physicochemical properties of the material. Biochar and biochar composites have been applied widely in wastewater treatment, and have significantly enhanced the treatment performance of Fenton-like processes (activation of hydrogen peroxide and persulfate) as an advanced oxidation process for organics removal and wastewater decontamination. This paper reviews the preparation methods for biochar and biochar composites to systematically analyze the influential factors on the preparation process. The paper also comprehensively reviews the mechanisms by which biochar removes different organic pollutants. However, due to the vast number of different biochar feedstocks and their preparation methods, it is difficult to compare the properties of one biochar to another. Guidance if provided for the application of biochar and biochar composites for wastewater decontamination.

Abstract
An efficient iron-manganese modified biochar (FMBC) was successfully synthesized as a heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst through easy post-modification and applied for degradation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene isomers (ortho, para, and meta), and styrene (BTEXS) in the presence of H2O2. The catalyst was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry. The effects of H2O2 concentration, FMBC dose, and initial pH on BTEXS degradation were also investigated. Results showed that degradation efficiency of FMBC for individual BTEXS varied from 83.05% to 94.12% in 3 h. Kinetic analysis showed that a first-order kinetic model with respect to BTEXS concentration could be used to explain the BTEXS degradation for FMBC/H2O2 system. The degradation reaction was more suitable in a wide pH range (3-10) than those in previous studies, thereby overcoming the low-efficiency problem of conventional Fenton reaction at high pH. Moreover, the doses of FMBC and H2O2 are a crucial factor affecting BTEXS degradation. Radical scavenger experiments revealed that ∙OH, ∙O2-, and 1O2 participated in the degradation process, and ∙OH was the major contributor. The synthesized catalyst is durable with stable BTEXS removal efficiency after seven consecutive cycles. The removal efficiency of BTEXS by FMBC in produced water reached 93.23% in 12 h, indicating FMBC has practical value.
