J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 146:149-162. [PMID: 38969443 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.06.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
Industrial wastewater should be treated with caution due to its potential environmental risks. In this study, a polymerization-based cathode/Fe3+/peroxydisulfate (PDS) process was employed for the first time to treat a raw coking wastewater, which can achieve simultaneous organics abatement and recovery by converting organic contaminants into separable solid organic-polymers. The results confirm that several dominant organic contaminants in coking wastewater such as phenol, cresols, quinoline and indole can be induced to polymerize by self-coupling or cross-coupling. The total chemical oxygen demand (COD) abatement from coking wastewater is 46.8% and the separable organic-polymer formed from organic contaminants accounts for 62.8% of the abated COD. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) abatement of 41.9% is achieved with about 89% less PDS consumption than conventional degradation-based process. Operating conditions such as PDS concentration, Fe3+ concentration and current density can affect the COD/DOC abatement and organic-polymer yield by regulating the generation of reactive radicals. ESI-MS result shows that some organic-polymers are substituted by inorganic ions such as Cl-, Br-, I-, NH4+, SCN- and CN-, suggesting that these inorganic ions may be involved in the polymerization. The specific consumption of this coking wastewater treatment is 27 kWh/kg COD and 95 kWh/kg DOC. The values are much lower than those of the degradation-based processes in treating the same coking wastewater, and also are lower than those of most processes previously reported for coking wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Antibiotics in water will cause serious harm to human health and ecosystem. Carbon-based materials and transition metals activated peroxodisulfate (PDS) to produce active species, which can degrade residual antibiotics in water. In this paper, Cu/CNF (carbon nanofibers) composites were first prepared by introducing Cu into CNF using electrostatic spinning technology, which was used to activate PDS to degrade tetracycline (TC). The degradation efficiency of Cu/CNF/PDS was 36.23% higher than that of CNF/PDS. The reason is that introducing Cu can increase the number of surface functional groups and specific surface area of CNF, and then improve the catalytic performance. The functional groups and Cu species are the active sites for catalytic PDS. Moreover, the main ways to degrade TC in the Cu/CNF/PDS system are singlet oxygen (1O2) and electron transfer. Based on the above analysis, we modified CNF with transition metal salts, prepared efficient environmental functional materials, and used them for PDS activation, providing a theoretical basis and technical support for the degradation of antibiotic pollutants and creating new ideas for other research.

Abstract
The present work deals with the optimization of basic fuchsin dye removal from an aqueous solution using the ultraviolet UV/H2O2 process. Response Surface Modeling (RSM) based on Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD) was applied as a tool for the optimization of operating conditions such as initial dye concentration (10-50 ppm), hydrogen peroxide dosage (H2O2) (10-20 mM/L) and irradiation time (60-180 min), at pH = 7.4 under ultra-violet irradiation (254 nm and 25 W intensity). Chemical oxygen demand (COD abatement) was used as a response variable. The Box-Behnken Design can be employed to develop a mathematical model for predicting UV/H2O2 performance for COD abatement. COD abatement is sensitive to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and irradiation time. Statistical analyses indicate a high correlation between observed and predicted values (R2 > 0.98). In the BBD predictions, the optimal conditions in the UV/H2O2 process for removing 99.3% of COD were found to be low levels of pollutant concentration (10 ppm), a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide dosage (20 mM/L), and an irradiation time of 80 min.

Abstract
Azo dyes are largely used in many industries and discharged in large volumes of their effluents into the aquatic environment giving rise to non-esthetic pollution and health-risk problems. Due to the high stability of azo dyes in ambient conditions, they cannot be abated in conventional wastewater treatment plants. Over the last fifteen years, the decontamination of dyeing effluents by persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has received a great attention. In these methods, PS is activated to be decomposed into sulfate radical anion (SO4•-), which is further partially hydrolyzed to hydroxyl radical (•OH). Superoxide ion (O2•-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) can also be produced as oxidants. This review summarizes the results reported for the discoloration and mineralization of synthetic and real waters contaminated with azo dyes covering up to November 2023. PS activation with iron, non-iron transition metals, and carbonaceous materials catalysts, heat, UVC light, photocatalysis, photodegradation with iron, electrochemical and related processes, microwaves, ozonation, ultrasounds, and other processes is detailed and analyzed. The principles and characteristics of each method are explained with special attention to the operating variables, the different oxidizing species generated yielding radical and non-radical mechanisms, the addition of inorganic anions and natural organic matter, the aqueous matrix, and the by-products identified. Finally, the overall loss of toxicity or partial detoxification of treated azo dye solutions during the PS-based AOPs is discussed.

Abstract
The photo-thermal activation of persulfate (PS) was carried out to degrade various pollutants such as reactive blue-222 (RB-222) dye, sulfamethazine, and atrazine. Optimizing the operating parameters showed that using 0.90 g/L of PS at pH 7, temperature of 90 °C, initial dye concentration of 21.60 mg/L, and reaction time of 120 min could attain a removal efficiency of 99.30%. The degradation mechanism was explored indicating that hydroxyl and sulfate radicals were the prevailing reactive species. The degradation percentages of 10 mg/L of sulfamethazine and atrazine were 83.30% and 70.60%, respectively, whereas the mineralization ratio was 63.50% in the case of real textile wastewater under the optimal conditions at a reaction time of 120 min. The treatment cost per 1 m3 of real wastewater was appraised to be 1.13 $/m3 which assured the inexpensiveness of the proposed treatment system. This study presents an effective and low-cost treatment system that can be implemented on an industrial scale.

Abstract
Dye wastewater possess immense toxicity with carcinogenic properties and they persist in environment owing to their stability and resistance to chemical and photochemical changes. The bio degradability of dye-contaminated wastewater is low due to its complex molecular structure. Nano-photocatalysts based on zinc oxide are reported as one of the effective metal oxides for dye remediation due to their photostability, enhanced UV and visible absorption capabilities in an affordable manner. An electron-hole pair forms when electrons in the valence band of ZnO nano-photocatalyst transfer into the conduction band by absorbing UV light. The review article presents a detailed review on ZnO applications for treating acidic and basic dyes along with the dye degradation performance based on operating conditions and photocatalytic kinetic models. Several acidic and basic dyes have been shown to degrade efficiently using ZnO and its nanocomposites. Higher removal percentages for crystal violet was reported at pH 12 by ZnO/Graphene oxide catalyst under 400 nm UV light, whereas acidic dye Rhodamine B at a pH of 5.8 was degraded to 100% by pristine ZnO. The mechanism of action of ZnO nanocatalysts in degrading the dye contamination are reported and the research gaps to make these agents in environmental remediation on real time operations are discussed.

Abstract
The sustainable management of toner waste (T-raw) was performed via carbonization at 500 °C (T-500) and 600 °C (T-600) to produce iron oxide-nanographene nanohybrid (FeO-NG) for activating persulfate (PS) to efficiently degrade dyes (methylene blue, MB), antibiotics (sulfamethazine, SMZ), and pesticides (diazinon, DZN). Morphology, crystallinity, chemical structure, chemical composition, surface area, and pore size distribution of the synthesized materials were investigated using various analyses. High degradation ratios of MB were attained over a wide pH range (2-7), and the optimum operating conditions were determined. The FeO-NG/PS system was tested in different water matrices. MB degradation efficiency dropped from 80.13% to 78.56% after five succeeding experiments, proving the high stability of T-500. Trapping experiments proved the major role of sulfate radicals and the minor contribution of singlet oxygen. The toxicity evaluation of the treated and untreated MB solutions was conducted via measuring the cell viability, showing an increase in cell viability ratio after the degradation of MB. The degradation efficiencies of DZN and SMZ were 97.54% and 83.7%, respectively and the mineralization ratios were 74.08% and 60.37% at initial concentrations of sulfamethazine and diazinon of 50 and 100 mg/L, respectively. The high degradation efficiency of emerging micropollutants as well as the inexpensiveness, and facile synthesis of the catalyst boost the prospect of applying the proposed system on an industrial scale.

Abstract
Mesoporous carbon (MC) derived from cassava starch was used to remove Acid Blue 113 azo dye from aqueous solutions. The influence of temperature, pH, ionic strength, and the adsorbent dose was investigated in a set of batch experiments. Experimental data showed that Acid Blue 113 adsorption was higher in the acid pH range than in the alkaline one, that dye adsorption increases when the ionic strength and temperature increase, and that adsorption results presented a good correlation with the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of MC was 295 mg g-1, at pH = 7.0 and 298 K, respectively. Zeta potential (ζ) showed the compression of the diffuse double layer of adsorbent with an increase in temperature and ionic strength, promoting the decrease of electrostatic repulsion between the negatively charged surface of the carbon particles and the anionic dye. Thermodynamic results demonstrate that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. Moreover, for the first time, this work has demonstrated that the pH, temperature, and ionic strength of the aqueous medium are also able to change the surface charge of carbon-based adsorbents and surely influence the adsorption capacity. Finally, the regeneration of the adsorbent by the photo-Fenton reaction regenerated the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent without generating secondary pollution to the environment.

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
In this study, copper-nickel ferrite (CuNiFe2O4) nanoparticles were successfully loaded onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by using the coprecipitation method and used as new catalysts (MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4) in the sonophotocatalytic degradation process of the acid blue 113 (AB113) dye. The success of the MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4 synthesis and its properties were determined by analyzing it using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A high efficiency of dye removal (100%), total organic carbon (93%), and chemical oxygen demand (95%) were achieved with the following conditions: pH of dye solution = 5, MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4 dosage = 0.6 g/L, AB113 dye concentration = 50 mg/L, UV light intensity = 36 W, ultrasonic wave frequency = 35 kHz, and treatment time = 30 min. The kinetic results revealed that the efficiency of the sonophotocatalytic process using MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4 was higher than that of the sonolysis, photolysis, photocatalysis, and sonocatalysis processes. Scavenging studies demonstrated that the holes (h+) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) were the main reactive species for the AB113 dye degradation. The stability and recyclability of MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4 were confirmed with eight consecutive cycles for a maximum efficiency of more than 92%. The high rate of BOD5/COD indicated that the sonophotocatalytic process had the potential to degrade the dye into degradable compounds. The toxicity study with an Escherichia coli growth inhibition rate emphasized that MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4 in the sonophotocatalytic degradation process of the AB113 dye had a significant effect on reducing toxicity, when compared to processes of photolysis and photocatalysis. During the sonophotocatalytic process using MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4, the AB113 dye was mineralized into CO2, H2O, NH4+, NO3-, and SO42-. The results of the present study proved that the MWCNT-CuNiFe2O4-based sonophotocatalytic process was a promising dye degradation technology to protect the aquatic environment.

Abstract
As a burgeoning advanced oxidation process (AOP), heterogeneous activation of persulfate (PS) for synthetic refractory contaminants decontamination has recently received much attention. In this study, FeS was selected as a heterogeneous PS activator to facilitate the degradation of a typical recalcitrant contaminant of diazo dye Direct Red 81 (DR 81). The results showed that approximately 95% of 0.03 mM DR 81 was removed within 60 min with FeS and PS doses of 1.5 × 10-3 M. The efficient decomposition of DR 81 by the FeS/PS system was assumed to be mainly attributed to the highly reactive SO4-• and •OH, which was related to PS cleavage by both dissolved Fe2+ leached from FeS and Fe2+ bound on the FeS surface. Except for strongly alkaline conditions, DR 81 decolorations by FeS/PS were insignificantly affected by operational parameters such as temperature, initial solution pH, and rotate speed. Meanwhile, the presence of five inorganic anions being studied had distinct impacts on DR 81 degradation and followed a strict order of NO3- < Cl- < SO42- < CO32- < PO43-. However, FeS/PS system was highly adaptable, and FeS, which is used as a PS activator was more stable. GC/MS and TOC data revealed that thorough mineralization of DR 81 by PS/FeS in an initial fast reaction phase to transform DR 81 to aromatic intermediates, followed by a slow reaction phase that mineralized these organic intermediates into carboxylic acids and carbon dioxide through further oxidation.

Abstract
Removing decolorizing acid blue 113 (AB113) dye from textile wastewater is challenging due to its high stability and resistance to removal. In this study, we used an artificial neural network (ANN) model to estimate the effect of five different variables on AB113 dye removal in the sonophotocatalytic process. The five variables considered were reaction time (5-25 min), pH (3-11), ZnO dosage (0.2-1.0 g/L), ultrasonic power (100-300 W/L), and persulphate dosage (0.2-3 mmol/L). The most effective model had a 5-7-1 architecture, with an average deviation of 0.44 and R2 of 0.99. A sensitivity analysis was used to analyze the impact of different process variables on removal efficiency and to identify the most effective variable settings for maximum dye removal. Then, an imaginary sonophotocatalytic system was created to measure the quantitative impact of other process parameters on AB113 dye removal. The optimum process parameters for maximum AB 113 removal were identified as 6.2 pH, 25 min reaction time, 300 W/L ultrasonic power, 1.0 g/L ZnO dosage, and 2.54 mmol/L persulfate dosage. The model created was able to identify trends in dye removal and can contribute to future experiments.

Abstract
In this work, sulfur and zinc were used to modify the steel slag/kaolin particle electrodes. Sulfur-zinc modified kaolin/steel slag particle electrodes (S-Zn-KSPEs) was successfully prepared. In a wide pH range (pH 3-10), S-Zn-KSPEs could efficiently degrade norfloxacin at low voltage (4 V) within 90 min. The removal rate of NOR by S-Zn-KSPEs was about 100% in acidic environment, more than 90% in neutral environment, and more than 80% in alkaline environment. And S-Zn-KSPEs could also efficiently degrade methylene blue, diuron, levofloxacin and other refractory pollutants under neutral conditions. S-Zn-KSPEs showed good stability and recyclability, and could maintain high catalytic activity after 8 cycles in a neutral or alkaline environment. The possible degradation mechanism and the degradation pathway of norfloxacin are proposed. In addition, S-Zn-KSPEs also showed a higher treatment effect in the treatment of actual surface water bodies. And S-Zn-KSPEs had a strong acid-base buffering capacity, which could avoid some pretreatment measures of wastewater in practical applications.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in using of advanced oxidation processes in water and wastewater decontamination. As a new oxidants peracids, mainly peracetic acid (PAA) and peracid salts, i.e. peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and persulfate (PS) are used. The degradation process of organic compounds takes place with the participation of radicals, including hydroxyl (•OH) and sulfate (SO4•-) radicals derived from the peracids activation processes. Peracids can be activated in homogeneous systems (UV radiation, d-electron metal ions, e.g. Fe2+, Co2+, Mn2+, base, ozonolysis, thermolysis, radiolysis), or using heterogeneous activation (metals with zero oxidation state, metal oxides, quinones, activated carbon, semiconductors). As a result of oxidation, products of a lower mass than the parent compounds, less toxic, and more susceptible to biodegradation are formed. An important task is to investigate the effect of the peracid activation method and matrix composition on the efficiency of contamination removal. The article presents the latest information about the application of peracids in the removal of organic micropollutants of emerging concern (mainly focuses on endocrine disrupted compounds). The most important information on peracetic acid, peroxymonosulfate and persulfate salts, and methods of their activation are presented. Current uses of these oxidants in organic micropollutants removal are also described. Information was collected on the factors influencing the oxidation process and the effectiveness of pollutant removal. This paper compares PAA, PMS and PS-based processes for the first time in terms of kinetics and efficiency.

Abstract
Traditional planar PbO2 anodes have been used extensively for the electrocatalytic degradation process. However, by using porous PbO2 anodes that have a three-dimensional architecture, the efficiency of the process can be significantly upgraded. In the current study, carbon felt (CF) with a highly porous structure and a conventional planar graphite sheet (G) were used as electrode substrate for PbO2 anodes. Both CF/β-PbO2 and G/β-PbO2 anodes were prepared by the anodic deposition method. The main properties of the electrodes were characterized by XRD, EDX-mapping, FESEM, and BET-BJH techniques. The electrocatalytic degradation of diuron using three-dimensional porous CF/β-PbO2 anode was modeled and optimized by a rotatable central composite design. After optimizing the process, the ability of porous CF/β-PbO2 and planar G/β-PbO2 anodes to degrade and mineralize diuron was compared. The electrocatalytic degradation of the diuron was well described by a quadratic model (R2 > 0.99). Under optimal conditions, the kinetics of diuron removal using CF/β-PbO2 anode was 3 times faster than the G/β-PbO2 anode. The energy consumed for the complete mineralization of diuron using CF/β-PbO2 anode was 2077 kWh kg-1 TOC. However, the G/β-PbO2 anode removed only 65% of the TOC by consuming 54% more energy. The CF/β-PbO2 had more stability (115 vs. 91 h), larger surface area (1.6287 vs. 0.8565 m2 g-1), and higher oxygen evolution potential (1.89 vs. 1.84 V) compared to the G/β-PbO2. In the proposed pathways for diuron degradation, the aromatic ring and groups of carbonyl, dimethyl urea, and amide were the main targets for HO• radical attacks.

Abstract
The realization of artificial photosynthesis in the photocatalytic CO2 transformation into valuable chemicals or solar fuels, such as CO, CH4, HCOOH, and CH3OH, by solar-light harvesting is a promising solution to both global-warming and energy-supply issues. Recently, zinc oxide (ZnO) has emerged as an excellent oxidative photocatalyst among non-titanium metal oxides due to its availability, outstanding semiconducting and optical properties, non-toxicity, affordability, and ease of synthesis. However, ZnO wide bandgap and inability to absorb in the visible region has demanded particular modification for its practical use as a sustainable photocatalyst. This review provides a panorama of the latest advancement on ZnO photocatalysis for CO2 reduction with an overview of fundamental aspects. Various modification strategies such as transition metal and non-metal doping, loading of plasmonic metals, and surface vacancy engineering for tunning the properties and improving the performance of ZnO are elaborated. Composites or hetero-structuralization-based Z-scheme formation is also presented along with a detailed photocatalytic reduction mechanism. Moreover, a new novel Step-scheme (S-scheme) heterostructure modification with a charge transfer pathway mechanism is also highlighted. Finally, the key challenges and new directions in this field are proposed to provide a new vision for further improvement for ZnO-based photocatalytic CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Natural chalcocite (NCC) was chosen as a co-catalyst for activation of persulfate (PS) to degrade organic contaminants in this study. A synergistic effect between NCC and ferrous ions (Fe2+) was found in catalyzing PS for degradation of orange G (OG). The main role of NCC in the NCC/Fe2+/PS system was to facilitate Fe3+ reduction back to Fe2+ and thus improve the stoichiometric efficiency of PS. The results of scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance tests proved that both sulfate and hydroxyl radicals were the primary reactive oxidants in the NCC/Fe2+/PS system. Twelve potential intermediate products of OG were identified, and the degradation pathway was proposed. Experiment parameters, such as NCC dose, Fe2+ concentration, initial pH, and the presence of anions (H2PO4‒ and Cl‒), all had important impacts on OG degradation. NCC had good reusability in synergistic activation of PS with Fe2+ for OG degradation for five cycles. This study demonstrated a natural sulfide mineral as an efficient co-catalyst towards PS activation for destruction of organic contaminants in water.

Abstract
The paper presents the results of studies on the modeling and optimization of organic pollutant removal from an aqueous solution in the course of simultaneous adsorption onto activated carbons with varied physical characteristics and oxidation using H2O2. The methodology for determining the models used for predicting the sorption and catalytic parameters in the process was presented. The analysis of the influence of the sorption and catalytic parameters of activated carbons as well as the oxidizer dose on the removal dynamics of organic dyes-phenol red and crystal violet-was carried out based on the designated empirical models. The obtained results confirm the influence of specific surface area (S) of the activated carbon and oxidizer dose on the values of the reaction rate constants related to the removal of pollutants from the solution in a simultaneous process. It was observed that the lower the specific surface area of carbon (S), the greater the influence of the oxidizer on the removal of pollutants from the solution. The proposed model, used for optimization of parameters in a simultaneous process, enables to analyze the effect of selected sorbents as well as the type and dose of the applied oxidizer on the pollutant removal efficiency. The practical application of models will enable to optimize the selection of a sorbent and oxidizer used simultaneously for a given group of pollutants and thus reduce the process costs.
