Removal of sulfonamide antibiotics by non-free radical dominated peroxymonosulfate oxidation catalyzed by cobalt-doped sulfur-containing biochar from sludge. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 466:133535. [PMID: 38271878 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133535] [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: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
The reuse of activated sludge as a solid waste is severely underutilized due to the limitations of traditional treatment and disposal methods. Given that, the sulfur-containing activated sludge catalyst doped with cobalt (SK-Co(1.0)) was successfully prepared by one-step pyrolysis and calcinated at 850 ℃. The generation of CoSx was successfully characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), indicating that the sulfur inside the sludge was the anchoring site for the externally doped cobalt. Cobalt (Ⅱ) (Co2+), as the main adsorption site for peroxymonosulfate(PMS), formed a complex (SK-Co(1.0)-PMS* ) and created the conditions for the generation of surface radicals. The SK-Co(1.0)/PMS system showed high degradation efficiency and apparent rate constants for Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) (91.56% and 0.187 min-1) and Sulfadiazine (SDZ) (90.73% and 0.047 min-1) within 10 min and 30 min, respectively. Three sites of generation of 1O2, which played a dominant role in the degradation of SMX and SDZ in the SK-Co(1.0)/PMS system, were summarized as:sulfur vacancies (SVs), the Co3+/Co2+ cycles promoted by sulfur(S) species, oxygen-containing functional groups (C-O). The degradation mechanisms and pathways had been thoroughly investigated using DFT calculations. In view of this, a new idea for the resource utilization of activated sludge solid waste was provided and a new strategy for wastewater remediation was proposed.

Insight into iron oxychloride composite bone char for peroxymonosulfate activation: Mechanism of singlet oxygen evolution for selective degradation of organic pollutants. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 326:138471. [PMID: 36963158 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138471] [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: 01/29/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The activity of iron-based catalysts in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is limited by the redox cycle of Fe(III) and Fe(II). In this work, iron oxychloride (FeOCl) with a unique layered structure was loaded on the bone char (BC) to enhance the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Characterization of the FeOCl-BC catalyst reveals that the loading of FeOCl changed the composition and structure of BC and BC reduced the bond gap of FeOCl. Acetaminophen (APAP) as a target pollutant could be almost completely degraded at neutral pH, and the removal rate reached 0.6597 min-1. APAP could also be selectively oxidized by FeOCl-BC/PMS system in the presence of some inorganic anions (SO42-, NO3-, and Cl-) and humic acid. Quenching experiments, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), chemical probes, and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) confirm that the primary oxidation mechanism of the FeOCl-BC/PMS system was dominated by 1O2. The 1O2 was generated from the conversion of O2•- and the self-dissociation of PMS, involving the formation of metastable iron intermediates and the redox cycle of Fe(III) and Fe(II). The unique structure of FeOCl, the transport of lattice oxygen and the enrichment of electrons by carbon defects play an essential role in generating reactive species. In this work, the limitation of the redox cycle of Fe(III) and Fe(II) was broken by loading FeOCl on the surface of BC, and a new catalytic mechanism was proposed. This work provides a new perspective for the construction of efficient iron-based catalysts and the practical application of PMS-based AOPs.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 871:162151. [PMID: 36764556 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The most important factor that restricts the decomposition of H2O2 in the Fe3+/H2O2 reaction is the slow cycling efficiency of reducing Fe3+ to Fe2+. In this study, the addition of tungsten disulfide (WS2) as a co-catalyst achieved a rapid cycling of the reaction rate-limiting step and a significant enhancement of H2O2 decomposition, which resulted in the effective degradation of acetaminophen (APAP). Results show that 99.6% of APAP (5 mg L-1) could be degraded by H2O2/Fe3+/WS2 system within 2.5 min. The conversion of Fe3+ to Fe2+ occurred mainly on the surface of WS2 due to the redox reaction of the exposed W4+ active sites with Fe3+ after the unsaturated S atoms were bound to protons. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and radical quenching experiments evaluated the contribution of hydroxyl radical (•OH) and superoxide radical (O2•-) in the degradation of pollutants. WS2 showed good recoverability after four cycles of the reaction. This study provides a new perspective to improve the efficiency of Fe3+/H2O2 and provides a reference for the involvement of transition metal sulfides in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs).

Regulating the concentration of dissolved oxygen to achieve the directional transformation of reactive oxygen species: A controllable oxidation process for ciprofloxacin degradation by calcined CuCoFe-LDH. WATER RESEARCH 2023; 233:119744. [PMID: 36841161 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119744] [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: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Different reactive oxygen species (ROS) tend to attack specific sites on pollutants, leading to the formation of intermediates with different toxic effects. Therefore, regulating the directional transformation of ROS is a new effective approach for safe degradation of refractory organic compounds in wastewater. However, the regulation mechanism and transformation path of ROS remain unclear. In this work, the dissolved oxygen (DO) content was controlled by aeration to generate different ROS through the activation of O2 on the calcined CuCoFe-LDH (CuCoFe-300). ROS quantitative experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance proved that O2 was mainly activated to superoxide radical (•O2-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) under low DO concentration (0.231 mmol/L) (O2 → •O2- → 1O2). With the increasing of DO concentration (0.606 mmol/L), O2 was inclined to convert into hydroxyl radicals (•OH) (O2 → •O2- → H2O2 → •OH). The density functional theory and function model of active sites utilization and DO concentration built a solid proof for ROS conversion mechanism that increasing the DO concentration promotes the increase of active sites utilization on the CuCoFe-300 system. That is, the •O2- was more prone to convert to •OH, not 1O2 in thermodynamics under high active sites utilization condition. Hence, the ROS generation was controlled by regulating DO concentration, and the nontoxic degradation pathway of ciprofloxacin was well-designed. This work is dedicated to the in-depth exploration of the mechanism between DO concentration and ROS conversion, which provides an extremely flexible, low energy consumption, and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment method in a new perspective.

Abstract
The FeMoS2 catalyst for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is a promising pathway for removing organic pollutants in wastewater, however, the dominant FeS2 phases and sulfur (S) vacancies in it are little involved. Herein, for the first time, novel bimetallic FeMoS2 microparticles were synthesized by a simple method and then applied for PMS activation for degrading organic pollutants. The catalysts were characterized by several techniques, including X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. The results revealed that new FeMoS2 microparticles containing S vacancies in the main FeS2 phases were obtained. FeS2 and S vacancies were found to play important roles for activating PMS by radical and nonradical pathways. More Fe2+ and Mo4+ were formed in the presence of S vacancies, which offered a new strategy for exploring novel heterogeneous catalysts in the activation of PMS for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Biological processes comprising bacteria, fungi, yeast, and algae received increasing interest for dye degradation due to their cost-effectiveness and eco-friendly nature. Hence, the current study aims to investigate the ability of the photocatalytic performance of N-S co-doped anatase TiO2 (NSTO) nanoparticles immobilized on isolated industrial textile bacteria (ITB) for degradation of basic blue 41 (BB 41). To prove the effect of improving the surface area of NSTO, NSTO also was immobilized on glass balls (NSTO-GB). NSTO nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel methods, and characterization of NSTO and NSTO-GB were measured using SEM, TEM, XPS, and DLS analysis. The results showed that the average size of NSTO was 50-60 nm. Moreover, the morphology and surface microstructure of ITB and ITB-NSTO were determined by the SEM, XPS technique. According to the results, ITB has a rod structure, NSTO nanoparticles are placed on the surface of ITB. However, NSTO was attached to the surface of ITB with the hydroxyl group. The ITB-NSTO indicated a higher BB 41 degradation yield (99%) than pure NSTO (65%) and ITB (74%). The effect of different factors was evaluated on biodegradation by ITB-NSTO. The high biodegradation was obtained in ITB (10 mg), NSTO (50 mg), BB41 (50 ppm), and pH 11. The GC-Mass, LC-Mass, and FT-IR analysis, which monitored the BB 41 degradation efficiency, proved the degradation efficiency by 99%. In the following, the toxicities of BB 41 solution before and after degradation were accessed through the brine shrimp lethality assay (BSLA) and seed germination assay, which displayed a considerable reduction in BB 41 after degradation. Toxicity results exhibited that ITB-NSTO has potential for industrial application.

Abstract
Chloramphenicol antibiotics are widely applied in human and veterinary medicine. They experience natural attenuation and/or chemical degradation during oxidative water treatment. However, the environmental risks posed by the transformation products of such organic contaminants remain largely unknown from the literature. As such, this review aims to summarize and analyze the elimination efficiency, reaction mechanisms, and resulting product risks of three typical chloramphenicol antibiotics (chloramphenicol, thiamphenicol, and florfenicol) from these transformation processes. The obtained results suggest that limited attenuation of these micropollutants is observed during hydrolysis, biodegradation, and photolysis. Comparatively, prominent abatement of these compounds is accomplished using advanced oxidation processes; however, efficient mineralization is still difficult given the formation of recalcitrant products. The in silico prediction on the multi-endpoint toxicity and biodegradability of different products is systematically performed. Most of the transformation products are estimated with acute and chronic aquatic toxicity, genotoxicity, and developmental toxicity. Furthermore, the overall reaction mechanisms of these contaminants induced by multiple oxidizing species are revealed. Overall, this review unveils the non-overlooked and serious secondary risks and biodegradability recalcitrance of the degradation products of chloramphenicol antibiotics using a combined experimental and theoretical method. Strategic improvements of current treatment technologies are strongly recommended for complete water decontamination.

Abstract
In this study, tartrazine solutions were oxidized using innovative electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) that combined persulfate (PS) activation with electrogenerated H2O2, cathodic reduction and anodic oxidation at Pt and BDD anodes, and graphite cathode in an undivided stirred reactor. For the Pt anode, SO4·- was generated from a reduction reaction at the cathode and a reaction between the PS and electrogenerated H2O2. For the BDD anode, SO4·- was generated from a reduction reaction at the cathode, an oxidation reaction at the anode, and a reaction between PS and electrogenerated H2O2. Among these activation methods, the activation efficiency of PS by electrogenerated H2O2 is much better than other methods. The effects of PS concentration up to 36 mM, applied current density between 6 to 15 mA cm-2, and temperatures between 25 to 45 °C were investigated. For the electro-Fenton process with Pt anode (Pt-H2O2/PS process), the best result for oxidizing 250 mg L-1 tartrazine solution was obtained with 37.5 mM Na2SO4 + 9.0 mM Na2S2O8, applied current density at 12 mA cm-2 and 45 °C, acquiring total color removal after 30 min reaction. For the electro-Fenton process with BDD anode (BDD-H2O2/PS process), the best result for oxidizing 250 mg L-1 tartrazine solution was obtained with 25 mM Na2SO4 + 18 mM Na2S2O8, applied current density at 12 mA cm-2 and 45 °C, yielding 100% color removal after 30 min reaction. The main oxidizing agents are SO4·- and OH· in the anodic oxidation process with PS and the electro-Fenton process with PS. It is concluded that the additions of PS tremendously improve the oxidation power of electro-Fenton processes with PS, especially the Pt-H2O2/PS process.

Abstract
Disinfection is an essential and significant process for water treatment to protect the environment and human beings from pathogenic infections. In this study, disinfection through the generation of hydroxyl (Fenton process (FP)) and sulfate (Fenton-like process (FLP)) radicals was validated and optimized. The optimization was carried out in synthetic water through an experimental design methodology using the bacteria Escherichia coli as a model microorganism. Different variables were evaluated in both processes: precursor concentration (peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and H2O2), catalyst concentration (Fe+2), and pH in the Fenton process. After that, the optimized conditions (FP: 132.36 mM H2O2, 0.56 mM Fe+2 and 3.26 pH; FLP: 3.82 mM PMS and 0.40 mM Fe+2) were applied to real matrices from wastewater treatment plants. The obtained results suggest that both processes are promising for disinfection due to the high oxidant power of hydroxyl and sulfate radicals.

Abstract
In the conventional Fenton system, the relatively low efficiency of Fe (II) regeneration is a significant drawback. To address this shortcoming, a novel floating Z-scheme photo-Fenton catalyst FeMo3Ox/g-C3N4/EP was prepared by a facile dip-calcination method, in which iron and molybdenum oxides with mixed valence states (FeMo3Ox) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) were loaded on the expanded perlite. The removal efficiencies reached the maximum at 98.0%, 93.1% and 97.1% for tetracycline, oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline, respectively, after 60 min dark adsorption and 60 min photo-Fenton process. The aid of dual ion (Fe and Mo) synergy system and photoreduction by Z-scheme photocatalyst enhanced the Fe (II) regeneration, resulting in the excellent performance. Radical scavenger experiment, electron spin resonance spectra (ESR) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were used to confirm the mechanism of free radicals' formation and Fe/Mo redox cycling. ·OH, ·O2- and 1O2 played important roles in the pollutant's degradation, while the generation of ·O2- was enhanced due to the floatability in this system. The possible degradation pathways of TC were put forward according to the results of mass spectrum and Orbital-Weighted Fukui Function. Overall, this work provides new insights on the cooperation between iron-based mix oxides and semiconductor in the photo-Fenton system.

[PMID: 34699885 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation methods have attractive advantages in advanced oxidation process (AOPs) due to their powerful ability of directly or indirectly generating various reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, trace amount of Fe(III) ions were added into the commercial-CoS2/PMS system to improve the CoS2/PMS decomposition for organics removal. The organics removal efficiency could reach >90% towards methylene blue (MB), diclofenac sodium (DCF), sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and bisphenol A (BPA) in the CoS2/Fe(III)/PMS system, with the kinetic apparent rate constant kobs of 0.141, 0.206, 0.247 and 0.091 min-1, respectively. The synergistic effect between Fe(III) ions and sulfur-vacancies on CoS2 for PMS degradation were revealed for the first time in cobalt sulfides/PMS system. Quenching experiments and ESR analysis proved that 1O2 was the major ROS and was produced mainly by the hydrolysis of SO5•-. Besides, the high degradation efficiency was obtained by the contribution of SO4•- and •OH. Electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Raman spectrum data revealed that the addition of Fe(III) ions could optimize the intensity of sulfur vacancies on the CoS2 surface, which hindered the PMS reduction ability of Co(II), but accelerated the PMS oxidation to form 1O2. The degradation path of MB was analyzed by liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS). The mechanism studies speculated that the sulfur vacancies of CoS2 provided the binding sites for Fe(III) ions with Co(II), which facilitated the PMS activation by Co(III).

Catalytic ozonation of chloramphenicol with manganese-copper oxides/maghemite in solution: Empirical kinetics model, degradation pathway, catalytic mechanism, and antibacterial activity. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 302:114043.

Abstract
The composite material of manganese-copper oxide/maghemite (MnxCuyOz/γ-Fe2O3) was synthesized by the co-precipitation-calcination method. With the initial concentration of 0.2 g/L MnxCuyOz/γ-Fe2O3 and 10 mg/L O3, the chloramphenicol (CAP, 10 mg/L) could be completely degraded, which was about 2.22 times of that treated with ozonation alone. The contribution of O3 and hydroxyl radical (•OH) for CAP degradation in the catalytic process was 6.9% and 93.1%, respectively. According to the effects of catalyst dosage, ozone dosage, and pH on the catalytic performance of MnxCuyOz/γ-Fe2O3, a predictive empirical model was developed for the ozonation with the MnxCuyOz/γ-Fe2O3 system. The HCO3-/CO32- and phosphates in solution could inhibit the degradation of CAP with the inhibition ratios 8.45% and 13.8%, respectively. The HCO3-/CO32- could compete with CAP and react with •OH, and the phosphates were considered as poisons for catalysts by blocking the surface active sites to inhibit ozone decomposition. The intermediates and possible degradation pathways were detected and proposed. The catalytic ozonation could effectively control the toxicity of the treated solution, but the toxicity was still not negligible. Furthermore, MnxCuyOz/γ-Fe2O3 could be easily and efficiently separated from the reaction system with an external magnet, and it possessed excellent reusability and stability.

Abstract
The enhancement of vacancies in catalysts involving Fenton-like reactions is a promising way to remove organic pollutants in wastewater, but sulfur vacancies are rarely involved. In this work, MoS2 containing defect sites were synthesized by a simple high-temperature treatment and then applied for activating peroxymonosulfate to eliminate organic pollutants in wastewater. The structure was characterized by several techniques such as XRD, BET, and XPS. Important influencing factors were systemically investigated. The results indicated that MoS2 with sulfur vacancies possessed a higher catalytic activity than that of the parent MoS2. The annealing temperature of the catalyst had a great effect on the removal of organic pollutants. Besides, the catalytic system had a wide pH range. Quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments indicated that the reaction system contained radical and non-radical species. The characterization results revealed that the defect sites in catalysts mainly strengthened the activity of catalysts. This study offers a new heterogeneous catalyst for the removal of organic pollutants via the peroxymonosulfate-based Fenton-like reactions. Sulfur vacancies on MoS2 enhanced the activation of peroxymonosulfate to remove organic pollutants in wastewater.![]()

Abstract
Iron oxychloride (FeOCl) is a known effective iron-based catalyst and has been used in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). This study intends to achieve more facile free radicals generation from peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation by exploring the Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle of FeOCl in the presence of hydroxylamine (HA). With 0.2 g/L FeOCl, 1.5 mM PMS, and 1 mM HA, the PMS/FeOCl/HA system could effectively achieve 98.88% of the oxidative degradation of 5 mg/L ciprofloxacin (CIP) in 15 min and quickly inactivate 99.99% of E. coli (108 CFU/mL) in 5 min at near-neutral pH. HA played an important role in promoting the Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle, thereby greatly improving the oxidation activity of the system. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as HO, SO4- and O2- were identified as the dominated free radicals produced in the system. The intermediate products of CIP detected by liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS) and three possible degradation pathways of CIP were proposed. The presence of common anions in the PMS/FeOCl/HA system, including HCO3-, Cl-, SO42-, and NO3-, enhanced the degradation efficiency of CIP to varying degrees at the concentrations of 10 mM. Moreover, FeOCl maintained a high degradation capability for CIP after several recycles. This work offers a new promising means of catalyzing the PMS-based AOPs in the degradation of refractory organics.

Abstract
The occurrence of micropollutants (MPs) in the aquatic environment poses a threat to the environment and to the human health. The application of sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) to eliminate these contaminants has attracted attention in recent years. In this work, the simultaneous degradation of 20 multi-class MPs (classified into 5 main categories, namely antibiotics, beta-blockers, other pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and herbicides) was evaluated for the first time in secondary treated wastewater, by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) with UV-A radiation, without any pH adjustment or iron addition. The optimal PMS concentration to remove the spiked target MPs (100 μg L-1) from wastewater was 0.1 mM, leading to an average degradation of 80% after 60 min, with most of the elimination occurring during the first 5 min. Synergies between radiation and the oxidant were demonstrated and quantified, with an average extent of synergy of 69.1%. The optimized treatment was then tested using non-spiked wastewater, in which 12 out of the 20 target contaminants were detected. Among these, 7 were degraded at some extent, varying from 10.7% (acetamiprid) to 94.4% (ofloxacin), the lower removals being attributed to the quite inferior ratio of MPs to natural organic matter. Phytotoxicity tests carried out with the wastewater before and after photo-activated PMS oxidation revealed a decrease in the toxicity and that the plants were able to grow in the presence of the treated water. Therefore, despite the low degradation rates obtained for some MPs, the treatment effectively reduces the toxicity of the matrix, making the water safer for reuse.

Abstract
Nonradical persulfate oxidation processes have emerged as a new wastewater treatment method due to production of mild nonradical oxidants, selective oxidation of organic pollutants, and higher tolerance to water matrixes compared with radical persulfate oxidation processes. Since the case of the nonradical activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS) was reported on CuO surface in 2014, nonradical persulfate oxidation processes have been extensively investigated, and much achievement has been made on realization of nonradical persulfate activation processes and understanding of intrinsic reaction mechanism. Therefore, in the review, nonradical pathways and reaction mechanisms for oxidation of various organic pollutants by PDS and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) are overviewed. Five nonradical persulfate oxidation pathways for degradation of organic pollutants are summarized, which include surface activated persulfate, catalysts-free or catalysts mediated electron transfer, 1O2, high-valent metals, and newly derived inorganic oxidants (e.g., HOCl and HCO4-). Among them, the direct oxidation processes by persulfate, nonradical based persulfate activation by inorganic/organic molecules and in electrochemical methods is first overviewed. Moreover, nonradical based persulfate activation mechanisms by metal oxides and carbon materials are further updated. Furthermore, investigation methods of interaction between persulfate and catalyst surface, and nature of reactive species are also discussed in detail. Finally, the future research needs are proposed based on limited understanding on reaction mechanism of nonradical based persulfate activation. The review can offer a comprehensive assessment on nonradical oxidation of organic pollutants by persulfate to fill the knowledge gap and provide better guidance for future research and engineering application of persulfate.

Abstract
Heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst prepared by dispersing iron oxides in activated carbon (FeOx@AC) has frequently been assembled for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). An intriguing but barely emphasized property of FeOx@AC is that it can be easily reactivated through a simple carbothermal reaction. Importantly, by this manner the life time of FeOx@AC could be effectively enhanced. We herein reported the synthesis of FeOx@ACs hydrothermally with assistance of several commercially available surfactants and their performance in degrading real dye wastewater were evaluated. In general, as-synthesized FeOx@ACs were noted to equip high Fe content. Deposited FeOx reduced the fraction of micropores but simultaneously introduced additional mesopores and macropores. Elevated magnetite content was observed in FeOx@AC equipped with high fraction of micropore and mesopore and macropore but fast dye degradation occurred at FeOx@AC possessing low fraction of micropore along with low mesopores and macropores. Reactivation via carbothermal reaction redistributed the deposited FeOx by increasing micropores while decreasing mesopores and macropores. Importantly, well dispersed FeOx synthesized with the assistance of surfactants exhibited high resistance to the corrosion in the degradation process. For the perspective of circular economy, deep understanding the material chemistry of FeOx@AC would be of particularly interest for further enhancing its life time.

Abstract
In this study, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) was chosen as a co-catalyst to enhance the removal efficiency of phenacetin (PNT) in water by a ferrous ion-activated peroxymonosulfate (Fe2+/PMS) process. Operating parameters, such as the initial solution pH and chemical dose on PNT degradation efficiency were investigated and optimized. Under an initial pH of 3, an Fe2+ dose of 25 μM, a PMS dose of 125 μM and a MoS2 dose of 0.1 g L−1, the degradation efficiency of PNT reached 94.3%, within 15 min. The presence of common water constituents including Cl−, HCO3−, SO42− and natural organic matter (NOM) will inhibit degradation of PNT in the MoS2/Fe2+/PMS system. Radical quenching tests combined with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) results indicated that in addition to free radical species (˙OH, SO4˙− and O2˙−), nonradical reactive species (1O2) were also crucial for PNT degradation. The variations in the composition and crystalline structure of the MoS2 before and after the reaction were characterized by XPS and XRD. Further, the degradation pathways of PNT were proposed according to the combined results of LC/TOF/MS and DFT calculations, and primarily included hydroxylation of the aromatic ring, cleavage of the C–N bond of the acetyl-amino group, and cleavage of the C–O bond of the ethoxy group. Finally, toxicity assessment of PNT and its products was predicted using the ECOSAR program. Performance, mechanisms and toxicity evaluation of PNT degradation by the MoS2/Fe2+/PMS system were investigated.![]()

Abstract
The development of new or upgraded electrochemical water treatment technologies is considered a topic of great interest. Here, Tartrazine azo dye solutions were treated by means of a quite innovative dual electrochemical persulfate (S2O82-, PS) activation that combines H2O2 generation at an air-diffusion cathode and anodic oxidation (AO) at a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode using a stirred tank reactor. This so-called AO-H2O2/PS process was compared to AO with stainless steel cathode, both in 50 mM Na2SO4 medium, finding the oxidation power increasing as: AO < AO-H2O2 < AO/PS < AO-H2O2/PS. In the latter, the dye and its products were mainly destroyed by: (i) hydroxyl radicals, formed either from water oxidation at BDD surface or via reaction between H2O2 and S2O82-, and (ii) sulfate radical anion, formed from the latter reaction, thermal PS activation and cathodic S2O82- reduction. Hydroxyl radicals prevailed as oxidizing agents, as deduced from trials with tert-butanol and methanol. The reaction between S2O82- and accumulated H2O2 was favored as temperature increased from 25 to 45 °C. The effect of PS content up to 36 mM, dye concentration within the range 0.22-0.88 mM, current density (j) between 8.3 and 33.3 mA cm-2 and pH between 3.0 and 9.0 on the process performance was examined. All decolorization profiles agreed with a pseudo-first-order kinetics. The best results for treating 0.44 mM dye were attained with 36 mM PS at pH 3.0, j = 16.7 mA cm-2 and 45 °C, yielding total loss of color, 62% TOC removal and 50% mineralization current efficiency after 360 min. The slow mineralization was attributed to the persistence of recalcitrant byproducts like maleic, acetic, oxalic, formic and oxamic acids. It is concluded that the novel AO-H2O2/PS process is more effective than AO/PS to treat Tartrazine solutions, being advisable to extend the study to other organic pollutants.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an extensively produced and consumed chemical in the world. Due to its widespread use, contamination by this pollutant has increased in recent years, reaching a critical environmental point. This work investigates the feasibility of bisphenol A adsorption from industrial wastewater solutions, testing the reduction of bisphenol A in synthetic solutions by a commercial activated carbon, AC-40, in batch mode. Besides, mixtures of bisphenol A and different heavy metal cations were also studied. So far, no works have reported a complete study about bisphenol A removal by this activated carbon including the use of this material to remove BPA in the presence of metal cations. First, adsorption experiments were performed in batch changing pH, dose of adsorbent, initial bisphenol A concentration and contact time. Results showed greater retention of bisphenol A by increasing the acidity of the medium. Further, the percentage of bisphenol A adsorbed increased with increasing contact time. The selected conditions for the rest of the experiments were pH 5 and a contact time of 48 h. In addition, an increase in retention of bisphenol A when the dose of adsorbent increased was observed. Then, specific experiments were carried out to define the kinetics and the adsorption isotherm. Equilibrium data were adequately fitted to a Langmuir isotherm and the kinetics data fitted well to the pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacity provided by Langmuir model was 94.34 mg/g. Finally, the effect of the presence of other heavy metals in water solution on the adsorption of bisphenol A was analyzed. Binary tests revealed competition between the adsorbates and a significant selectivity toward bisphenol A. Finally, the study of the adsorption performance in three consecutive adsorption–desorption cycles showed efficiencies higher than 90% in all cycles, indicating that the activated carbon has good reusability.
