[PMID: 36907488 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Effective degradation of sulfonamides (SAs) in water is of global importance for decreasing its pathogenicity and bioaccumulation. In this study, Mn3(PO4)2 was used as a carrier to fabricate a novel and high-efficient catalyst with Co3O4 anchored (Co3O4@Mn3(PO4)2) for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade SAs. Surprisingly, the catalyst exhibited superior performance, and nearly 100% of SAs (10 mg L-1) including sulfamethazine (SMZ), sulfadimethoxine (SDM), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and sulfisoxazole (SIZ) was degraded by Co3O4@Mn3(PO4)2-activated PMS within 10 min. A series of characterization of the Co3O4@Mn3(PO4)2 composite were conducted and the main operational parameters of SMZ degradation were investigated. SO4•-, •OH, and 1O2 were determined to be the dominating reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsible for the degradation of SMZ. Co3O4@Mn3(PO4)2 also exhibited excellent stability and the removal rate of SMZ still maintained over 99% even in the fifth cycle. The plausible pathways and mechanisms of SMZ degradation in the system of Co3O4@Mn3(PO4)2/PMS were deduced on the basis of the analyses of LCMS/MS and XPS. This is the first report on high-efficient heterogeneous activating PMS by mooring Co3O4 on Mn3(PO4)2 to degrade SAs, which provides us with a strategy to structure novel bimetallic catalysts for PMS activation.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 448:130905. [PMID: 36738620 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.130905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
A novel homogeneous electrocatalytic system was constructed by current-assisted trace Co(II) activating PMS (ECP) to remove reactive blue 19 (RB19). More than 93 % of RB19 was rapidly removed with only a trace dose, and the PMS was 98.35 % utilized during the reaction. By exploring the active species and analyzing the PMS consumption, it was found that current strongly accelerated the Co(III)/Co(II) redox cycle by providing electrons to Co(III), and inhibited the side reaction thus improving the PMS utilization. Electric energy per order was very low, only 0.26 kWh·m3. Radicals (SO4•-) and non-radicals (Co(III), Co(IV) and 1O2) participated in ECP system, in which SO4•- was dominant. By excluding the other three precursors (PMS, •OH and O2•-), the side reaction product SO5•- was identified as the source of 1O2 in ECP system. Combining chelating agent EDTA and chemical probe PMSO, Co(IV) was considered formed by single and double charge transfer. Five degradation pathways of RB19 were proposed using mass spectrometry and DFT calculation. The ecotoxicity and mutagenicity of RB19 and its transformation products were predicted using software simulation. These studies provided an interesting insights into the synergistic Co(II)-PMS systems and offered a new strategy for electrochemical processes.

Abstract
The disposal and recovery of solid wastes and the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the key issues of environmental pollution control. In this study, micro cobalt loaded on iron-carbon-vermiculite composite (Co-ICV) was prepared for the first time by the reutilization of waste self-heating pad as a carrier of cobalt catalyst, which exhibited better performance than bulk cobalt catalyst in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for the degradation of naphthalene (NAP) in water. Above 98% of NAP (2.0 mg/L) was effectively eliminated within 15 min by the Co-ICV (0.2 g/L) activated PMS (0.5 mmol/L) in a pH range of 5.0-9.0. High magnetism and very limited cobalt leaching realized the convenient separation and stable reusability of Co-ICV. Mechanism investigation indicated that Co(II) species were the main active sites to activate PMS decomposition for the generation of SO4•- and •OH, contributing to the rapid degradation of NAP. Meanwhile, the NAP degradation pathways were deduced via combining the identification of intermediates and the calculation of frontier electron densities (FEDs). Furthermore, the ability of the Co-ICV/PMS system for the NAP degradation in actual lake water and the removal of other refractory pollutants demonstrated that the combination of Co-ICV and PMS was a prospective method for the removal of PAHs. Overall, Co-ICV is a green and promising activator of PMS, and the future development will provide more insights into the comprehensive utilization of solid wastes for the remediation of wastewater containing PAHs.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs)-based peroxymonosulfate (PMS) systems are highly selective to the type of organic pollutants while the mechanisms remain ambiguous. In this work, we carried out experimental and theoretical investigations to reveal the origins of selectivity of radical and nonradical pathways in a designated Co-N4-C/PMS system. Two typical pollutants [bisphenol A (BPA) and metronidazole (MNZ)] with different molecular structures were employed for comparison. We found that radical oxidation (SO4•- and HO•) and nonradical electron-transfer pathway (ETP) co-existed in the Co-N4-C/PMS system. Pollutants (e.g., MNZ) with a high redox potential were degraded primarily by free radicals rather than ETP, while the oxidization of low-redox pollutants (e.g., BPA) was dominated by ETP at the surface region of Co-N4-C which overwhelmed the contributions of radicals in the homogeneous phase. Intriguingly, the contributions of radical and nonradical pathways could be manipulated by the PMS loading, which simultaneously increased the radical population and elevated the oxidation potential of Co-N4-C-PMS* complexes in ETP. Findings from this work will unravel the mysterious selective behavior of the SACs/PMS systems in the oxidation of different micropollutants.

Abstract
It is significant to explore the advanced oxidation process (AOP) for antibiotic degradation. Herein, a peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator, Sr2FeO4/SBA-15 (SFS) heterogeneous catalyst, was synthesized by in situ growth of Sr2FeO4 on the surface of SBA-15. In SFS/PMS catalytic system, Sr atom provided electrons to Fe(II) ↔Fe(III) ↔Fe(II) redox cycle through Sr-O-Fe bonds for PMS activation. The SFS catalyst could activate PMS to generate a free radical coexistence system, including sulfate radical (SO4∙-) and hydroxyl radicals (∙OH). The catalyst possessed high catalytic activity and high stability. The degradation efficiency of sulfapyridine (SAD) over the SFS/PMS catalytic system could reach 99.0% after 90 min reaction. After the 5th reuse, the degradation efficiency of SAD was still more than 94.0%, and the phase structure of the catalyst did not alter. The low ion leaching concentration would be more conducive to reuse and avoiding secondary pollution, in comparison to homogeneous catalysts. This catalyst can be widely applied to organic wastewater treatment.-->.

Abstract
Sulfate radical (SO4•-)-mediated advanced oxidation processes via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation have been extensively investigated. However, the phototransformation of PMS in sunlit dissolved organic matter (DOM) solution has not been previously examined. For the first time, the photosensitized transformation of PMS in DOM-enriched solutions under simulated solar irradiation was observed. The generation of reactive species, including 1O2, SO4•-, and •OH, was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance and quantified by chemical probes. SO4•- was the primary reactive species generated via the reaction of excited triplet DOM (3DOM*) with PMS. 3DOM* acted as a reactive reductant and was quickly oxidized by PMS, with an estimated reaction rate constant of (4.09 ± 0.21) × 108 M-1 s-1. Compared to 3DOM*, one-electron-reducing DOM (DOM•-) was a minor contributor to the photosensitized transformation of PMS, and the contribution of DOM•- relied on the phenolic constituents. In addition, a series of different types of DOM, including terrestrial DOM, autochthonous DOM, and effluent organic matter and its fractions, were employed to examine the photosensitized transformation kinetics of PMS. Overall, the photosensitized transformation of PMS by irradiated DOM could be a useful and economical approach to generate SO4•- under environmentally relevant conditions.
