THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 946:174253. [PMID: 38936713 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174253] [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: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
The global focus on wastewater treatment has intensified in the contemporary era due to its significant environmental and human health impacts. Pharmaceutical compounds (PCs) have become an emerging concern among various pollutants, as they resist conventional treatment methods and pose a severe environmental threat. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) emerge as a potent and environmentally benign approach for treating recalcitrant pharmaceuticals. To address the shortcomings of traditional treatment methods, a technology known as the electro-Fenton (EF) method has been developed more recently as an electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) that connects electrochemistry to the chemical Fenton process. It has shown effective in treating a variety of pharmaceutically active compounds and actual wastewaters. By producing H2O2 in situ through a two-electron reduction of dissolved O2 on an appropriate cathode, the EF process maximizes the benefits of electrochemistry. Herein, we have critically reviewed the application of the EF process, encompassing diverse reactor types and configurations, the underlying mechanisms involved in the degradation of pharmaceuticals and other emerging contaminants (ECs), and the impact of electrode materials on the process. The review also addresses the factors influencing the efficiency of the EF process, such as (i) pH, (ii) current density, (iii) H2O2 concentration, (iv) and others, while providing insight into the scalability potential of EF technology and its commercialization on a global scale. The review delves into future perspectives and implications concerning the ongoing challenges encountered in the operation of the electro-Fenton process for the treatment of PCs and other ECs.

Abstract
The increasing presence of fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics in aquatic environments is a growing concern due to their widespread use, negatively impacting aquatic organisms. This paper provides an overview of the environmental distribution, sources, fate, and both single and mixed toxicity of FQ antibiotics in aquatic environments. It also examines the accumulation of FQ antibiotics in aquatic organisms and their transfer into the human body through the food chain. The study identifies critical factors such as metabolism characteristics, physiochemical characteristics, light, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and environmental compatibility that influence the presence of FQ antibiotics in aquatic environments. Mixed pollutants of FQ antibiotics pose significant risks to the ecological environment. Additionally, the paper critically discusses advanced treatment technologies designed to remove FQ antibiotics from wastewater, focusing on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs). The discussion also includes the benefits and limitations of these technologies in degrading FQ antibiotics in wastewater treatment plants. The paper concludes by proposing new approaches for regulating and controlling FQ antibiotics to aid in the development of ecological protection measures.

Facile Synthesis of Carbon-Based Inks to Develop Metal-Free ORR Electrocatalysts for Electro-Fenton Removal of Amoxicillin. Gels 2024; 10:53. [PMID: 38247776 PMCID: PMC10815112 DOI: 10.3390/gels10010053] [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: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The electro-Fenton process is based on the generation of hydroxyl radicals (OH•) from hydroxide peroxide (H2O2) generated in situ by an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Catalysts based on carbon gels have aroused the interest of researchers as ORR catalysts due to their textural, chemical and even electrical properties. In this work, we synthesized metal-free electrocatalysts based on carbon gels doped with graphene oxide, which were conformed to a working electrode. The catalysts were prepared from organic-gel-based inks using painted (brush) and screen-printed methods free of binders. These new methods of electrode preparation were compared with the conventional pasted method on graphite supports using a binder. All these materials were tested for the electro-Fenton degradation of amoxicillin using a homemade magnetite coated with carbon (Fe3O4/C) as a Fenton catalyst. All catalysts showed very good behavior, but the one prepared by ink painting (brush) was the best one. The degradation of amoxicillin was close to 90% under optimal conditions ([Fe3O4/C] = 100 mg L-1, -0.55 V) with the catalyst prepared using the painted method with a brush, which had 14.59 mA cm-2 as JK and a H2O2 electrogeneration close to 100% at the optimal voltage. These results show that carbon-gel-based electrocatalysts are not only very good at this type of application but can be adhered to graphite free of binders, thus enhancing all their catalytic properties.

Abstract
The electro-Fenton process (EFP) is a powerful advanced oxidation process beneficial to treating recalcitrant contaminants, and there has been a continuing interest in combining this technology to enhance the efficiency of conventional wastewater treatment processes. In this work, an optimized EFP process is performed as pretreatment for the degradation and mineralization of three blank fluoroquinolones (FQs) drugs: ofloxacin (OFL), norfloxacin (NOR), and ciprofloxacin (CIP). The optimization of the experiment was carried out using a Box-Behnken experimental design. Faster and complete degradation of the drugs mixture was achieved in 90 min with 61.12 ± 2.0% of mineralization in 180 min, under the optimized conditions: j = 244.0 mA cm-2, [Fe2+] = 0.31 mM, and [FQs] = 87.0 mg L-1. Furthermore, a low toxicity effluent was obtained in 90 min of the experiment, according to bioassay toxicity with Vibrio fischeri. Five short-chain carboxylic acids, including oxalic, maleic, oxamic, formic, and fumaric acids, were detected and quantified, in addition to F- and NO3- inorganic ions. The inhibition of the reactive oxygen species with scavenger proof was also evaluated in this paper.

Abstract
Emerging pollutants and a large volume of unused dyes from the textile industry have been contaminating water bodies. This work introduces a scalable approach to purifying water by the adsorption of Acid green 25 (AG), Crystal Violet (CV), and Sulfamethoxazole (SMA) from an aqueous solution by graphene oxide (GO) doped modified silica aerogel (GO-SA) with supercritical fluid deposition (SFD) method. Characterization of GO-SA using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption isotherms revealed the improvement in the adsorbent surface area, and its textural properties. The high removal percentages observed in most of the experimental runs provide evidence of the excellent performance of the adsorbent towards the anionic and cationic dyes along with the antibiotic. The adsorption isotherm and kinetics showed that the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models could explain adsorption. The adsorbent holds a higher adsorption capacity for SMA (67.07 mg g-1) than for CV (41.46 mg g-1) and AG (20.56 mg g-1) due to the higher hydrophobicity that interacts with the hydrophobic adsorbent. The GO-SA successfully removed AG, CV, and SMA with removal percentages of 98.23%, 98.71%, and 94.46%, respectively. The parameters were optimized using Central Composite Design (RSM-CCD). The prepared aerogel showed excellent reusability with a removal efficiency of > 85% even after 5 cycles. This study shows the potential of GO-SA adsorbent in textile and other wastewater purification.

Advancements in electrochemical technologies for the removal of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in wastewater: A review. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 881:163522. [PMID: 37068672 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
In recent times, the need to make water safer and cleaner through the elimination of recalcitrant pharmaceutical residues has been the aim of many studies. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, enrofloxacin, and levofloxacin are among the commonly detected pharmaceuticals in wastewater. Since the presence of these pharmaceuticals in water bodies poses serious risks to living organisms, it is vital to adopt effective wastewater treatment techniques for their complete removal. Electrochemical technologies such as photoelectrocatalysis, electro-Fenton, electrocoagulation, and electrochemical oxidation have been established as techniques capable of the complete removal of organics including pharmaceuticals from wastewater. Hence, this review presents discussions on the recent progress (literature within 2018-2022) in the applications of common electrochemical processes for the degradation of fluoroquinolone antibiotics from wastewater. The fundamentals of these processes are highlighted while the results obtained using the processes are critically discussed. Furthermore, the inherent advantages and limitations of these processes in the mineralization of fluoroquinolone antibiotics are clearly emphasized. Additionally, appropriate recommendations are made toward improving electrochemical technologies for the complete removal of these pharmaceuticals with minimal energy consumption. Therefore, this review will serve as a bedrock for future researchers concerned with wastewater treatments to make informed decisions in the selection of suitable electrochemical techniques for the removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater.

Abstract
Electro-Fenton (e-Fenton) is a promising method for wastewater treatment that relies on powerful ·OH generated via the decomposition of electro-generated H2O2 catalyzed by Fe2+. In this regard, developing a catalyst capable of simultaneously producing H2O2 and accelerating Fe2+ regeneration is of considerable importance; however, this remains a challenge because of the difficulty in modulating the electronic microenvironment. Herein, a hollow porous carbon sphere catalyst (HPCS) is developed to synchronously enhance H2O2 generation and accelerate Fe3+/Fe2+ cycling by constructing an electron-rich microenvironment via surface curvature regulation. The Fe2+ regeneration efficiency reaches 35.5% on HPCS featuring a larger curvature structure (HPCS-TPOS), which is 1.6 times higher than the smaller curvature HPCS-S catalyst (22.8%). Density functional theory reveals that the electron-rich microenvironment on the outer surface of high curvature structure promotes Fe2+ regeneration. The H2O2 production rate on HPCS-TPOS is 47.2 mmol L-1 h-1, exceeding the state-of-the-art e-Fenton catalysts reported. Benefiting from the concurrent high-efficiency of H2O2 production and Fe2+ regeneration, HPCS-TPOS e-Fenton is demonstrated to be efficient for sulfamethoxazole removal with the kinetic rate of 0.30-0.72 min-1 at pH 3-7. This work offers new insight into the design of efficient catalysts by rationally regulating curvature structures for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
This review presents an exhaustive overview on the mechanisms of Fe3+ cathodic reduction within the context of the electro-Fenton (EF) process. Different strategies developed to improve the reduction rate are discussed, dividing them into two categories that regard the mechanistic feature that is promoted: electron transfer control and mass transport control. Boosting the Fe3+ conversion to Fe2+ via electron transfer control includes: (i) the formation of a series of active sites in both carbon- and metal-based materials and (ii) the use of other emerging strategies such as single-atom catalysis or confinement effects. Concerning the enhancement of Fe2+ regeneration by mass transport control, the main routes involve the application of magnetic fields, pulse electrolysis, interfacial Joule heating effects, and photoirradiation. Finally, challenges are singled out, and future prospects are described. This review aims to clarify the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycling process in the EF process, eventually providing essential ideas for smart design of highly effective systems for wastewater treatment and valorization at an industrial scale.

Abstract
A columnar N-doped graphene aerogel (NGA) was successfully fabricated by one-step hydrothermal synthesis using L-hydroxyproline as reductant, N-doping, and swelling agent, and it was used as the cathode with internal aeration mode for the electro-Fenton degradation of p-nitrophenol. Owing to the stable solid-liquid-gas three-phase interface, more active defects, and modulated nitrogen dopants, the NGA cathode exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity. H2O2 could be continuously electro-generated via a two-electron oxygen reduction, and the yield of H2O2 was 153.3 mg·L-1·h-1 with the low electric energy consumption of 15.3 kWh kg-1. Simultaneously, the NGA cathode had better charge transfer capability with N-doping, which was conducive to the conversion of Fe3+/Fe2+. Under the optimal condition, nearly 100% removal of p-nitrophenol and 84% removal of TOC were obtained within 60 and 120 min, respectively. The NGA cathode also presented good stability and versatile applicability in different water matrices. Therefore, the NGA is a cost-effective cathode material in electro-Fenton system with adequate activity and reuse stabilization.

Abstract
Graphene is a high surface area special carbon compound with exceptional biological, electronic and mechanical properties. Graphene-based materials are potential components used in water treatment on different modes and processes. Ibuprofen and ciprofloxacin are two commonly found pharmaceutical contaminants discharged into water bodies from industrial, domestic and hospital sources. Their concentration levels in water bodies are reported in the range of 1 μg/L to 6.5 mg/L and 0.050-100 μg/L respectively. Their toxic effects pose very high risk to the inhabiting organisms. Their ability to resist biodegradation and capacity to bioaccumulate makes the conventional methods less effective in removal. In the present article, treatment of these compounds via three methods, adsorption, photocatalytic degradation and electro-fenton reactions using graphene-based materials along with the methods adopted for synthesis and treatment are reviewed. The uptakes obtained by graphene-derived adsorbents are presented along with the optimal operating conditions. Studies reported complete removal of ibuprofen from wastewater was achieved at 7 pH for 60 min using graphene membrane as adsorbent and uptake of 99% of ciprofloxacin was exhibited for graphene nanoplates/boron nitrate aerogel at a pH of 7 and 60 min. The reduced graphene oxide surface exhibits higher affinity to light adsorption which leads to the formation of photo generated electrons. The future perspectives for improved applications of graphene-based materials and the research gap currently existing are highlighted.

Abstract
Herein, a heterogeneous photo-Fenton and photo-catalytic system was constructed using oxide pyrite (FeS2/Fe2O3) mineral and organic acids including tartaric acid (TA), ascorbic acid (AA), and citric acid (CA). In the proposed system, FeS2/Fe2O3 can be successfully activated through irradiation to generate photogenerated carriers, which generated H2O2in-situ through the reduction reactions between e- and O2. The addition of organic acids enhanced the dissolution of iron from FeS2/Fe2O3. Based on the iron and in-situ generated H2O2, •OH was produced through a photo-Fenton reaction. Furthermore, h+, e-, and •O2-, which were generated through the photo-catalytic activation of FeS2/Fe2O3, also played a certain role in the degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ). Therefore, the synergistic photo-Fenton and photo-catalytic reaction improved the degradation of CBZ, with the degradation efficiencies of 86%, 62%, and 68% in FeS2/Fe2O3/TA, FeS2/Fe2O3/AA, and FeS2/Fe2O3/CA systems, respectively. This investigation provides an innovative strategy for the removal of organic pollutants using natural minerals.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely supplied over all the world to animals and humans to fight and heal bacteriological diseases. The uptake of antibiotics has largely increased the average-life expectancy of living beings. However, these recalcitrant products have been detected at low concentrations in natural waters, with potential health risks due to alterations in food chains and an increase in the resistance to bacterial infection, control of infectious diseases, and damage of the beneficial bacteria. The high stability of antibiotics at mild conditions prevents their effective removal in conventional wastewater treatment plants. A powerful advanced oxidation processes such as the electro-Fenton (EF) process is being developed as a guarantee for their destruction by •OH generated as strong oxidant. This review presents a critical, exhaustive, and detailed analysis on the application of EF to remediate synthetic and real wastewaters contaminated with common antibiotics, covering the period 2017-2021. Homogeneous EF and heterogeneous EF involving iron solid catalysts or iron functionalized cathodes, as well as their hybrid and sequential treatments, are exhaustively examined. Their fundamentals and characteristics are detailed, and the main results obtained for the removal of the most used antibiotic families are carefully described and discussed. The role of generated oxidizing agents is explained, and the by-products generated, and reaction sequences proposed are detailed.

Abstract
To improve H2O2 generation and Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle simultaneously for enhancing Electro-Fenton performance, the electrode aeration (EA) and hydroxylamine sulfate (HA) were coupled. With dimethyl phthalate (DMP) as main target contaminant, combination of HA and EA greatly accelerated the degradation of DMP and exhibited a synergy in the pH of 2.0-6.9 through promoting the key reactions, including electrochemical two-electron reduction of O2 into H2O2 and redox cycles of Fe3+/Fe2+, which then improved the generation of hydroxyl radicals (·OH). The coupling EA and HA reduced the use of HA and converted most of HA into environment-friendly N2 (60.1-62.1% of HA products), while HA/solution aeration(SA) system consumed HA rapidly and the generated N2 only accounted for 5.8-6.7% of HA products. Furthermore, compared with HA/SA and EA Electro-Fenton systems, enhancement degree of DMP degradation in HA/EA Electro-Fenton process was higher in actual waterbody than in ultrapure water. The coupling EA and HA in the Electro-Fenton process could solve the low Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle efficiency and low H2O2 production simultaneously, and improve the N2 selectivity of HA transformation, which advanced its application in practical environmental remediation.

Abstract
In this study, the heterogeneous electro-Fenton method was used to remove Paclitaxel as an antineoplastic medicine. The cathode based on three-dimensional graphene (3DG) was applied as a gas diffusion electrode. The potential of five eco-friendly and recyclable iron minerals derived from nature (Magnetite, Siderite, Hematite, Limonite, and Pyrite) was investigated. Among the applied iron minerals, Pyrite showed the best, and Magnetite and Siderite showed good catalytic activity at pH 3.0. The current intensity of 300 mA, pHi 7.0, Paclitaxel concentration of 3 mg L-1, amount of Pyrite 4.5 g L-1, and time of 120 min was the optimum condition of the process with the removal efficiency of 99.13% in the presence of Pyrite. Repeating the experiments eight times revealed the reusability of the prepared 3DG as a cathode. Also, using radical scavengers indicated the principal role of the hydroxyl radicals (OH) in the treatment process. Analysis of total organic carbon reached 77.64% mineralization of 3 mg L-1 Paclitaxel at 360 min. Finally, ten by-products of small molecules were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry device.
