Abstract
A novel UV/oxalic acid functionalized corn straw biochar (OCBC)/peroxyacetic acid (PAA) system was built to degrade sulfadiazine from waters. 94.7 % of SDZ was removed within 30 min by UV/OCBC/PAA. The abundant surface functional groups and persistent free radicals (PFRs) on OCBC were responsible for these performances. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and other characterization analysis revealed, under UV irradiation, the addition of OCBC served as electron donor, which might promote the reaction of electrons with PAA. The quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests indicated that R-O•, 1O2 and •OH were generated. Theoretical calculations indicated sulfonamide bridge was vulnerable under the attacks of reactive species. In addition, high removal effect achieved by 5 reuse cycles and different real waters also suggested the sustainability of UV/OCBC/PAA. Overall, this study provided a feasible approach to remove SDZ with high mineralization efficiency, in addition to a potential strategy for resource utilization of corn straw.

Superior performance of oxygen vacancy-enriched Cu-Co 3O 4/urushiol-rGO/peroxymonosulfate for hypophosphite and phosphite removal by enhancing singlet oxygen. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 663:177-190.

Abstract
The treatment of wastewater containing hypophosphite [P(I)] and phosphite [P(III)] is challenged by limitations of traditional Fenton oxidation such as low efficiency, secondary pollution and high costs. This study introduced a facile solvent-thermal method to synthesize Cu-Co3O4 nanoparticles uniformly loaded on graphene (Cu-Co3O4/U-rGO) through the reduction and coordination effects of urushiol (U). As prepared Cu-Co3O4/U-rGO exhibited excellent activity in activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the oxidation of P(I)/P(III) to phosphate [P(V)] (0.229 min-1), along with high stability and reusability (91.5 % after 6 cycles), low metal leaching rate (Co: 0.2 mg/L, Cu: 0.05 mg/L), insensitivity to common anions in water and a wide pH range (3-11). The activation mechanism involved the synergistic effects from both urushiol and graphene, which promoted redox of Cu+/Cu2+ and Co2+/Co3+ and induced abundant oxygen vacancies for PMS activation to produce singlet oxygen. Furthermore, the Cu-Co3O4/U-rGO/PMS was also excellent in the oxidative removal of organic phosphorus. This study is expected to advance strategies for the treatment of P(I)/P(III)-rich wastewater and provide new insights for the development of low-cost, highly efficient heterogeneous catalysts with abundant oxygen vacancies.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 237:116998. [PMID: 37634688 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotics, a kind of containments with the properties of widely distributed and difficult to degrade, has aroused extensive attention in the world. As a prevalent agricultural waste, straws can be utilized to prepare biochar (straw-derived biochar, SBC) to remove antibiotics from aquatic environment. To date, although a number of review papers have summarized and discussed research on biochar application in wastewater treatment and soil remediation, there are few reviews on SBC for antibiotic removal. Due to the limitations of poor adsorption and degradation performance of the pristine SBC, it is necessary to modify SBC to improve its applications for antibiotics removal. The maximum antibiotic removal capacity of modified SBC could reach 1346.55 mg/g. Moreover, the adsorption mechanisms between modified SBC and antibiotics mainly involve π-π interactions, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and charge dipole interactions. In addition, the modified SBC could completely degrade antibiotics within 6 min by activating oxidants, such as PS, PDS, H2O2, and O3. The mechanisms of antibiotic degradation by SBC activated oxidants mainly include free radicals (including SO4•-, •OH, and O2•-) and non-free radical pathway (such as, 1O2, electrons transfer, and surface-confined reaction). Although SBC and modified SBC have demonstrated excellent performance in removing antibiotics, they still face some challenges in practical applications, such as poor stability, high cost, and difficulties in recycling. Therefore, the further research directions and trends for the development of SBC and biochar-based materials should be taken into consideration.

Abstract
Nitrogen doped magnetic porous carbon catalyst based on starch of oatmeal was obtained by mixing and pyrolysis process, and its catalytic activity of peroxymonosulfate activation for sulfadiazine degradation was evaluated. When ratio of oatmeal/urea/iron was 1: 2: 0.1, CN@Fe-10 had the best catalytic activity to degrade sulfadiazine. Around 97.8 % removal of 20 mg L-1 sulfadiazine was achieved under incorporating of 0.05 g L-1 catalyst and 0.20 g L-1 peroxymonosulfate. Good adaptability, stability and universality of CN@Fe-10 were verified under different conditions. Electron paramagnetic resonance and radical quenching test suggested that surface-bound reactive oxides species and singlet oxygen were the main reactive oxides species in this reaction. Electrochemical analysis indicated that CN@Fe-10 had a good electrical conductivity and electron transferred did occur among CN@Fe-10 surface, peroxymonosulfate and sulfadiazine. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy suggested that Fe0, Fe3C, pyridine nitrogen and graphite nitrogen were the potential active sites for peroxymonosulfate activation. Therefore, the work provided a practical approach for recycling biomass.

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.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 322:138176.

Abstract
The selectivity of singlet oxygen (1O2) holds promising applications in complex environmental systems due to its ability to preferentially oxidize target pollutants. Usually, 1O2 in photocatalytic systems is generated via the electron transfer pathway and •O2- plays an important role as an intermediate, while the exciton-based energy transfer pathway for 1O2 generation has been less studied. Here, a 2D Ag-γ-Fe2O3/BiVO4 with oxygen vacancies was designed which was capable of generating 1O2 by an exciton-based energy transfer-dominated approach, as strongly demonstrated by the results of steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy and phosphorescence spectroscopy. In the Z-type heterojunction photocatalyst system, Ag acted as an electron mediator to promote not only the generation of free carriers but also the generation of singlet excitons, while the appropriate concentration of oxygen vacancies further promotes the exciton-triggering photocatalysis production of 1O2. The Ag-γ-Fe2O3/BiVO4 could degrade 99.4% of sulfadiazine within 90 min, and 1O2 played an important role in the degradation of sulfadiazine, as shown by EPR and active species capture experiments. Ecotoxicity predictions indicated that the main byproducts of sulfadiazine degradation by Ag-γ-Fe2O3/BiVO4 were low in toxicity. The prepared photocatalysts provide a new idea for obtaining 1O2 and designing photocatalysts with selectivity.

Abstract
A combination of the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) electro-activation process and the electro-oxidation process driven by a pulsed electric field (PEF) was used to degrade sulfadiazine (SND) wastewater. Mass transfer is the limiting step of electrochemical processes. The PEF could enhance mass transfer efficiency by reducing the polarization effect and increasing the instantaneous limiting current compared with the constant electric field (CEF), which could benefit the electro-generation of active radicals. The degradation rate of SND after 2 h was 73.08%. The experiments investigated the effects of operating parameters of pulsed power supply, PMS dosage, pH value and electrode inter distance on the degradation rate of SND. The predicted response value of single-factor performance experiments was obtained as 72.26% after 2 h, which was basically consistent with the experimental value. According to the quenching experiments and EPR tests, both SO4•- and •OH were present in the electrochemical processes. The generation of active species were significantly greater in the PEF system than that in the CEF system. Moreover, four kinds of intermediate products were detected during the degradation by LC-MS. This paper presents a new aspect for electrochemical degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics.

Abstract
The development of efficient and eco-friendly Mn-based hybrids for the degradation of biorefractory organic pollutants via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is highly desired. In this study, a novel graphite nanosheet (GNs)-based Fe-Mn bimetallic oxide (Fe doped birnessite MnO2, FeMn/GNs) was synthesized under mild conditions. Compared with monometallic Fe or Mn oxide on GNs, FeMn/GNs exhibited a higher surface area, decreased Mn oxidation states, stronger interaction with GNs, and more active sites for PMS adsorption. Among different Fe/Mn ratios, Fe2Mn1/GNs showed the optimum performance for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation with the first-order rate constant of 0.22 min-1, which was about 8.5 and 12.9 times higher than that of Mn/GNs and Fe/GNs, respectively. Different from the pollutant-catalyst-PMS electron transfer mechanism for Mn/GNs, the direct two-electron transfer in FeMn/GNs+PMS system, was mainly processed between the simultaneously activated BPA and PMS. This was probably based on the double adsorption sites of Fe and Mn species on the same catalyst: PMS was adsorbed by Fe species through hydroxyl groups, while BPA was mainly coordinated with Mn species due to the layered structure and hydrophobicity of the Mn oxide. This study is expected to provide the rational design of efficient Mn-based hybrids for PMS activation.

Abstract
Owing to the rapid development of modern industry, a greater number of organic pollutants are discharged into the water matrices. In recent decades, research efforts have focused on developing more effective technologies for the remediation of water containing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). Recently, sulfate radicals-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have been extensively used due to their high oxidizing potential, and effectiveness compared with other AOPs in PPCPs remediation. The present review provides a comprehensive assessment of the different methods such as heat, ultraviolet (UV) light, photo-generated electrons, ultrasound (US), electrochemical, carbon nanomaterials, homogeneous, and heterogeneous catalysts for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS). In addition, possible activation mechanisms from the point of radical and non-radical pathways are discussed. Then, biodegradability enhancement and toxicity reduction are highlighted. Comparison with other AOPs and treatment of PPCPs by the integrated process are evaluated as well. Lastly, conclusions and future perspectives on this research topic are elaborated.

Abstract
Chloramphenicol (CAP) is a typical kind of antibiotics, which has posed a severe threat to nature and human beings due to its wide application. In this study, cobalt-bismuth bimetallic composite anchored on carbon derived from cigarette butts (Co-Bi@CCB) was prepared to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the removal of CAP. Our results demonstrated Co-Bi@CCB not only possessed excellent catalytic performance, but also significantly limited metal ions dissolution. Over 98% of CAP (10 mg/L) was degraded in the presence of Co-Bi@CCB (0.05 g/L) and PMS (1 mM) within 20 min at pH = 7. Quenching tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometry confirmed that SO4•-, •OH, and 1O2 led to the rapid decomposition of CAP. Combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of Co-Bi@CCB before and after reaction, the mechanism of PMS activation was deduced. Finally, the possible pathways of CAP degradation was further speculated according to the intermediates determination by high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with high resolution mass spectrometer (HPLC-HRMS). Thus, the present study provides a new strategy to utilize discarded cigarette butts (recycled materials) as a carrier to fabricate novel and efficient catalysts to activate PMS for the removal of organic contaminants.

Abstract
Red mud (RM), a kind of iron-rich industrial waste produced in the alumina production process, can be utilized as a potential iron-based material for the removal of refractory organic pollutants from wastewater in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). In this work, high-iron RM (rich in iron) was activated in a ball mill and applied as an effective activator of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) degradation. Compared with that of unmilled RM (69.7%), the TC-HCl decomposition ratios of ball-milled RM (BM-RM) (72.2%-92.0%) were all improved in the presence of PMS. Systematic characterization suggested that ball milling could optimize the physicochemical properties of RM, such as increased surface area, increased oxygen vacancies, enhanced electrical conductivity, and increased exposure of Fe(II) sites, all of which could effectively improve RM for PMS activation to degrade TC-HCl. The quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance technique revealed that 1O2 and SO4·- contributed dominantly to the TC-HCl degradation. Ultra performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis combined with density functional theory calculation revealed that the degradation pathways of TC-HCl were driven by hydroxylation, N-demethylation and dehydration in BM-RM/PMS system. Based on quantitative structure-activity relationship prediction using the Toxicity Estimation Software Tool software, the toxicity of almost all intermediates was significantly reduced. An obvious inhibition effect on TC-HCl was occurred in the presence of Cl-, whereas the presences of NO3- and SO42- had little effect. However, HCO3- improved TC-HCl removal efficiency. BM-RM had a wide working pH range (pH = 3-11) and showed good stability and reusability in use. Overall, this work not only offers a simple and promising approach to improve the catalytic activity of RM, but also opens new insights into the ball-milled RM as an effective PMS activator for wastewater treatment.

Resource utilization of chicken manure to produce biochar for effective removal of levofloxacin hydrochloride through peroxymonosulfate activation: The synergetic function of graphitization and nitrogen functionality.

Abstract
Transforming hazardous livestock manure into biochar as an advanced oxidation processes catalyst is a two-in-one strategy to treat waste by waste. In this work, a self-modified biochar catalyst obtained from chicken manure is developed for peroxymonosulfate activation to degrade levofloxacin hydrochloride. The deterioration rate of levofloxacin hydrochloride reached 89% in 40 min, after three cycles of the catalyst, the LFX still maintained 52% degradation rate. And under low levofloxacin hydrochloride concentration, the degradation rate can reach 99% within 40 min. Apart from catalyst characterization and optimization, the effects of catalyst, peroxymonosulfate, levofloxacin hydrochloride, co-existing anions, and natural organic matter concentrations during the reaction are investigated. Additionally, the quenching experiments and electron spin resonance spectroscopy both reveal the reaction mechanism. As the graphitic nitrogen combined with the sp2-hybridized carbon in biochar was highly electronegative, thus appealing electrons from neighboring carbon networks, making the adjoining carbon atoms to be positively charged, which facilitated the degradation process. The oxidative degradation of levofloxacin hydrochloride was ascribed to non-radical routes including surface-bound radicals, h+ and 1O2 mediated oxidation, the contribution rates were 91%, 93.5%, and 96.8%, respectively. Moreover, possible degradation pathways of levofloxacin hydrochloride are studied by Density Functional Theory (DFT) and LC-MS analysis. This work provides a novel method to produce chicken manure biochar by self-modified chicken manure during biochar pyrolysis for peroxymonosulfate activation in organic contaminations abatement and reveals the combined effect of graphitization and nitrogen functionalization while providing new ideas for the resource utilization of chicken manure.

Abstract
Antibiotic contamination in water bodies poses ecological risks to aquatic organisms and humans and is a global environmental issue. Persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) are efficient for the removal of antibiotics. Sustainable biochar materials have emerged as potential candidates as persulfates (Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and Peroxydisulfate (PDS)) activation catalysts to degrade antibiotics. In this review, the feasibility of pristine biochar and modified biochar (non-metal heteroatom-doped biochar and metal-loaded biochar) for the removal of antibiotics in PS-AOPs is evaluated through a critical analysis of recent research. The removal performances of biochar materials, the underlying mechanisms, and active sites involved in the reactions are studied. Lastly, sustainability considerations for future biochar research, including Sustainable Development Goals, technical feasibility, toxicity assessment, economic and life cycle assessment, are discussed to promote the large-scale application of biochar/PS technology. This is in line with the global trends in ensuring sustainable production.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 211:113076.

Abstract
The contamination of marine sediments by 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) has become a global environmental problem, therefore there are necessaries searching appropriate and sustainable remediation methods for in-situ applications. Herein, water hyacinth [(WH) (Eichhornia crassipes)]-derived metal-free biochar (WHBC) prepared at 300-900 °C was used to promote the calcium peroxide (CP)-mediated remediation of 4-NP-contaminaed sediments. At [CP] = 4.37 × 10-4 M, [WHBC] = 1.5 g L-1, and pH = 6.0, the degradation of 4-NP was 77% in 12 h following the pseudo-first order rate law with rate constant (kobs) of 4.2 × 10-2 h-1. The efficient 4-NP degradation performance and reaction mechanisms of the WHBC/CP system was ascribed to the synergy between the reactive species (HO• and 1O2) at the WHBC surface on which there were abundant electron-rich carbonyl groups and defects/vacancies in the catalyst structure provides active sites, and the ability of the graphitized carbon framework to act as a medium for electron shuttling. According to microbial community analysis based on amplicon sequence variants, bacteria of the genus Solirubrobacter (Actinobacteria phylum) were dominant in WHBC/CP-treated sediments and were responsible for the biodegradation of 4-NP. The results showed great promise and novelty of the hydroxyl radical-driven carbon advanced oxidation processes (HR-CAOPs) that relies on the value-added utilization of water hyacinth for contaminated sediment remediation in achieving circular bioeconomy.
