Abstract
Collaborative treatment of pollutants is a promising approach for wastewater treatment. In this work, a covalent organic framework material (COFs) with an imine structure was synthesised by the Schiff base reaction, and photochemical tests showed good photochemical effects. It was used to explore the photocatalytic treatment of co-existing pollutants (heavy metal ions and antibiotics) and the performance of treating co-existing wastewater was investigated. The degradation performance of levofloxacin (LVX) and Cr(VI) was improved in the coexisting pollutants system, with the LVX degradation being 4.2 times more effective than that of the LVX solitary system. Moreover, this phenomenon was also observed in LVX/Ag(I), LVX/Fe(III), sulfadiazine/Cr(VI), norfloxacin/Cr(VI) and tetracycline/Cr(VI) systems. The analysis of active species suggesting that the synergistic promotion of photocatalytic oxidation-reduction systems was not only promoting from the improvement of simple charge separation, but it was also found that high-valent metal species can act directly in the oxidative decomposition of antibiotics. The interaction of pollutants and intermediates were rationally exploited and confirmed by control experiments and theoretical calculation. This conclusion helps us to re-examine the underlying mechanisms of photocatalytic synchronous oxidation and reduction reactions, simultaneously beneficial for the development of mixed pollutant control processes.

Abstract
The design of single-atom nanozymes with dual active sites to increase their activity and for the detection and degradation of contaminants is rare and challenging. In this work, a single-atom nanozyme (FeCu-NC) based on a three-dimensional porous Fe/Cu dual active site was developed as a colorimetric sensor for both the quantitative analysis of isoniazid (INH) and the efficient degradation of levofloxacin (LEV). FeCu-NC was synthesized using a salt template and freeze-drying method with a three-dimensional hollow porous structure and dual active sites (Fe-Nx and Cu-Nx). In terms of morphology and structure, FeCu-NC exhibits excellent peroxidase-like activity and catalytic properties. Therefore, a colorimetric sensor was constructed around FeCu-NC for sensitive and rapid quantitative analysis of INH with a linear range of 0.9-10 μM and a detection limit as low as 0.3 μM, and the sensor was successfully applied to the analysis of INH in human urine. In addition, FeCu-NC promoted the efficient degradation of LEV by peroxymonosulfate activation, with a degradation rate of 90.4% for LEV at 30 min. This work sheds new light on the application of single-atom nanozymes to antibiotics for colorimetric sensing and degradation.

Abstract
Vacuum UV (VUV) irradiation has advantage in coupling oxidants for organics removal because VUV can dissociate water to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ and decompose oxidants rapidly. In this study, the synergistic activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by VUV and ozone (O3) was explored via developing a novel integrated VUV/O3/PMS process, and the performance and mechanisms of VUV/O3/PMS for levofloxacin (LEV) degradation were investigated systematically. Results indicated that VUV/O3/PMS could effectively degrade LEV, and the degradation rate was 1.67-18.79 times of its sub-processes. Effects of PMS dosage, O3 dosage, solution pH, anions, and natural organic matter on LEV removal by VUV/O3/PMS were also studied. Besides, hydroxyl radical and sulfate radical were main ROS with contributions of 49.7% and 17.4%, respectively. Moreover, the degradation pathways of LEV in VUV/O3/PMS process were speculated based on density functional theory calculation and by-products detection. Furthermore, synergistic reaction mechanisms in VUV/O3/PMS process were proposed. The energy consumption of VUV/O3/PMS decreased by 22.6%- 88.1% compared to its sub-processes. Finally, the integrated VUV/O3/PMS process showed satisfactory results in removing LEV in actual waters, manifesting VUV/O3/PMS had great application potential and feasibility in removing organics in wastewater reuse.

Abstract
A magnetic composite of CoFe2O4 and carbon nanotube (CNT) was prepared using the solvothermal approach and then employed for the activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS) to degrade reactive black 5 (RB5) and other organic pollutants. Characterization results of the composite catalyst revealed the successful loading of spherical CoFe2O4 particles on CNTs, possessing abundant porosity as well as magnetic separation capability. Under the degradation conditions of 0.2 g/L CoFe2O4-CNT dosage and 4 mM PDS dosage, the removal efficiencies of 10 mg/L RB5 and other pollutants were in the range of 94.5 to ~ 100%. The effects of pH, co-existing ions/humic acid, and water matrices as well as the reusability of the catalyst were also investigated in detail. Furthermore, the degradation mechanism and pathway were proposed based on quenching experiments, LC-MS analysis, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and the toxicity of the degradation products was evaluated in the quantitative structure-activity relationship approach.

Abstract
Recently, transition metal sulfides have attracted much attention due to their better catalytic capacities as peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator than their metal oxide counterparts. However, the systematic studies on PMS activation using transition metal sulfides are still lacking. In this work, manganese sulfide (MnS) materials were synthesized via a MOFs-derived method and utilized for PMS activation to degrade levofloxacin (LVF) in water for the first time. As expected, MnS exhibited remarkable LVF degradation efficiency by PMS activation, which was distinctly higher than Mn2O3. The results of quenching experiments, electro spin resonance identification and electrochemical tests indicated that electron-transfer progress was the dominant mechanism in α-MnS/PMS system. Meanwhile, the presence of 1O2 and radicals further became the removal of LVF by α-MnS/PMS system into a radical/nonradical coupling process. The superior electrical conductivity of α-MnS than α-Mn2O3 was revealed by DFT calculations, which resulted in the higher catalytic capacity of α-MnS. The result of XPS also indicated the S species in MnS accelerated the recycle of Mn(IV)/Mn(II) and then promoted the generation of radicals. Furthermore, the influence of various environmental conditions on LVF removal and the reusability of α-MnS were also investigated, which demonstrated the high application potential of α-MnS/PMS system. Finally, six possible pathways of LVF oxidation in the system were proposed based on the identified byproducts and their ecotoxicity was evaluated with ECOSAR method. This work promotes the fundamental understanding of PMS activation by α-MnS and provides useful information for practical application of manganese sulfide in water treatment.

Abstract
In this study, rice straw biochar modified with Co3O4-Fe3O4 (RSBC@Co3O4-Fe3O4) was successfully prepared via calcinating oxalate coprecipitation precursor and employed as a catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the treatment of Rhodamine B (RhB)-simulated wastewater. The results indicated that RSBC@Co3O4-Fe3O4 exhibited high catalytic performance due to the synergy between Co3O4 and Fe3O4 doping into RSBC. Approximately 98% of RhB (180 mg/L) was degraded in the RSBC@Co3O4-Fe3O4/PMS system at initial pH 7 within 15 min. The degradation efficiency of RhB maintained over 90% after the fourth cycle, illustrating that RSBC@Co3O4-Fe3O4 displayed excellent stability and reusability. The primary reactive oxygen species (ROS) answerable for the degradation of RhB were 1O2, •OH, and SO4•-. Moreover, the intermediates involved in the degradation of RhB were identified and the possible degradation pathways were deduced. This work can provide a new approach to explore Co-based and BC-based catalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
The Fenton-like reaction, as one of the most efficient strategies to generate radical species for the degradation of environmental pollutants, has attracted considerable attention. However, engineering low-cost catalysts with excellent activity by phosphate surface functionalization has seldom been used for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Herein, emerging phosphate-functionalized Co3O4/kaolinite (P-Co3O4/Kaol) catalysts have been prepared by hydrothermal and phosphorization. Kaolinite nanoclay with rich hydroxyl groups plays a vital role in realizing phosphate functionalization. The results indicate that P-Co3O4/Kaol shows superior catalytic performance and excellent stability to the degradation of Orange II, which could be attributed to the existence of phosphate that promotes the adsorption of PMS and the electron transfer of Co2+/Co3+ cycles. Furthermore, the •OH radical was identified as the dominating reactive species for the degradation of Orange II compared to the SO4•- radical. This work could offer a novel preparation strategy for emerging functionalized nanoclay-based catalysts for effective pollutant degradation.

Abstract
The first traces of Tetracycline (TE) were detected in human skeletons from Sudan and Egypt, finding that it may be related to the diet of the time, the use of some dyes, and the use of soils loaded with microorganisms, such as Streptomyces spp., among other microorganisms capable of producing antibiotics. However, most people only recognise authors dating between 1904 and 1940, such as Ehrlich, Domagk, and Fleming. Antibiotics are the therapeutic option for countless infections treatment; unfortunately, they are the second most common group of drugs in wastewaters worldwide due to failures in industrial waste treatments (pharmaceutics, hospitals, senior residences) and their irrational use in humans and animals. The main antibiotics problem lies in delivered and non-prescribed human use, use in livestock as growth promoters, and crop cultivation as biocides (regulated activities that have not complied in some places). This practice has led to the toxicity of the environment as antibiotics generate eutrophication, water pollution, nutrient imbalance, and press antibiotic resistance. In addition, the removal of antibiotics is not a required process in global wastewater treatment standards. This review aims to raise awareness of the negative impact of antibiotics as residues and physical, chemical, and biological treatments for their degradation. We discuss the high cost of physical and chemical treatments, the risk of using chemicals that worsen the situation, and the fact that each antibiotic class can be transformed differently with each of these treatments and generate new compounds that could be more toxic than the original ones; also, we discuss the use of enzymes for antibiotic degradation, with emphasis on laccases.

Abstract
As semiconductor photocatalysts showing their efficient redox ability upon illumination, new development of materials to enhance the pollution degradation is gaining popularity, especially on their oxidation ability. In this study, a highly stable ternary Fe-ZnO/WO3 nanocomposite photocatalyst has been synthesized in order to improve charge transfer of photocatalytic oxidation under 30W LED light (425-470 nm) to efficiency degrade the Levofloxacin (LVF) in the solution. This catalyst was characterized and analyzed by XRD, FE-SEM, HR-TEM, X-ray XPS, UPS, PL, TRPL, LSV, EIS, and Photocurrent. Various important factors for the photodegradation were investigated, including Fe content, initial LVF concentration, catalyst dosage, and solution pH. The optimal conditions were Fe 1.0 wt%, LVF 10 mg L-1, Fe-ZnO/WO3 dosage 0.5 g L-1, and pH 7 for LVF photodegradation up to 96% with a kinetic rate constant of 0.0342 min-1 and were stable in photodegradation efficiency (90%) after five test cycles. In the visible LED light, the activation bandgap was estimated to be 2.75 eV with high electron-hole pair separation and charge transfer from Fe-ZnO to WO3 that could enhance the generation of active species of •OH. Moreover, the more effective charge separation of Fe-ZnO/WO3 were confirmed by lower PL intensity and longer charge carrier lifetime. Fe-ZnO/WO3 also demonstrated the excellent electrochemical properties with high photocurrent and small resistance. For the LVF degradation, 3 possible pathways were proposed with 12 intermediate products. This study demonstrated that the synthesized Fe-ZnO/WO3 could serve as a reliable visible-light responsive photocatalysts with the potential for degrading antibiotics in solution.

Abstract
Presently, in the context of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, several antibiotics are overused in hospitals, causing heavy pressure on the hospital’s wastewater treatment process. Therefore, developing stable, safe, and efficient hospital wastewater treatment equipment is crucial. Herein, a bench-scale electrooxidation equipment for hospital wastewater was used to evaluate the removal effect of the main antibiotic levofloxacin (LVX) in hospital wastewater using response surface methodology (RSM). During the degradation process, the influence of the following five factors on total organic carbon (TOC) removal was discussed and the best reaction condition was obtained: current density, initial pH, flow rate, chloride ion concentration, and reaction time of 39.6 A/m2, 6.5, 50 mL/min, 4‰, and 120 min, respectively. The TOC removal could reach 41% after a reaction time of 120 min, which was consistent with the result predicted by the response surface (40.48%). Moreover, the morphology and properties of the electrode were analyzed. The degradation pathway of LVX was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). Subsequently, the bench-scale electrooxidation equipment was changed into onboard-scale electrooxidation equipment, and the onboard-scale equipment was promoted to several hospitals in Dalian.

Fabrication of Co 3O 4-Bi 2O 3-Ti catalytic membrane for efficient degradation of organic pollutants in water by peroxymonosulfate activation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 607:451-461.

Abstract
In this study, a functionalized Co3O4-Bi2O3-Ti catalytic membrane (CBO-Ti-M) was prepared and applied for removing organic pollutants via activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) in the dead-end filtration mode. Characterizations including scanning electron microcopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that the Co3O4-Bi2O3 catalyst was successfully supported on the Ti membrane. The CBO-Ti-M /PMS system could efficiently remove various organic pollutants such as sulfamethoxazole, methyl orange, bisphenol A and methylene blue, achieving removal efficiencies of 98.0%-99.5%. The effects of PMS concentration, flow rate and solution environment on degradation efficiency were investigated in detail. Furthermore, quenching experiments, electron spin resonance (ESR) and in-situ open circuit potential (OCP) tests collectively demonstrated that singlet oxygen as well as the non-radical electron transfer pathway mainly contributed in the reaction mechanism. The synergistic effect of Co and Bi was illustrated according to XPS results, and the possible degradation pathway of MB was proposed based on LC-MS analysis. Reusability test showed that pollutant removal efficiency with the CBO-Ti-M /PMS system remained stable in four runs and limited metal leaching was observed.
