Abstract
Siderite, extensively mined as a natural iron mineral, is often discarded as tailings due to the low grade of the ore and due to the high cost of current sorting technologies. Yet, this mineral has demonstrated significant potential in several pivotal areas of the environmental remediation. Siderite not only possesses exceptional adsorption, catalytic, and microbial carrier capabilities but also offers an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for the environmental pollution management. This article consolidates research advancements and achievements over the past few decades concerning siderite's role in pollution control, delving deeply into its various remediation pathways. Initially, the paper contrasts the performance differences between natural and synthetic siderite, followed by a comprehensive overview of siderite's adsorption mechanisms for various inorganic pollutants. Furthermore, this paper analyzes the unique physicochemical attributes of siderite as both, a reductant and the catalyst, with a special emphasis on its use in the preparation of SCR catalysts and in the catalytic advanced oxidation processes for organic pollutants' degradation. This paper also enumerates and discusses the myriad advantages of siderite as a microbial carrier, thereby enhancing our understanding of biogeochemical cycles and pollutant transformations. In essence, this review systematically elucidates the mechanisms and intrinsic physicochemical properties of siderite in pollution control, paving the way for novel strategies to augment siderite's environmental remediation performance.

Abstract
Superoxide radical (•O2-) is capable of degrading perfluorinated compounds that are persistent in nature and cannot be removed by biological or advanced oxidation treatments, but the inherent drawback is the negligible reactivity of •O2-in aqueous phases due to the hydration effect. Here, we explored an innovative way to make use of •O2- by modulating a partial hydration state through spatial confinement control. We demonstrated this idea by conducting heterogeneous Fenton reaction with layered iron oxychloride (FeOCl) catalyst, wherein •O2-radicals produced and confined within the catalyst structure (interlayer spacing of 7.92 Å) showed defluorination effect dealing with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as model compound. The defluorination combined with advanced oxidation achieved mineralization. Mechanism study revealed that the confinement frustrated the hydration shell of •O2-with coordination number reduced from 3.3 (for bulk phase) to 1.89, and thereby changed its orbital electron properties and enhanced the nucleophilic ability. We further demonstrated a compact FeOCl membrane reactor with highly efficient degradation of PFOA (kobs up to 1.2 min-1) and cost-effective mineralization (2 × 10-6 $ per mgC), operated under ultrafiltration reaction mode. Our findings highlight the great interest of developing spatial confinement technology to modulate •O2--based reactions, as well as the feasibility of combining confinement catalyst structures with heterogeneous Fenton reaction to achieve the mineralization treatment goal.

Abstract
The release of untreated wastewater into water bodies has become a significant environmental concern, resulting in the accumulation of refractory organic pollutants that pose risks to human health and ecosystems. Wastewater treatment methods, including biological, physical, and chemical techniques, have limitations in achieving complete removal of the refractory pollutants. Chemical methods, particularly advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), have gained special attention for their strong oxidation capacity and minimal secondary pollution. Among the various catalysts used in AOPs, natural minerals offer distinct advantages, such as low cost, abundant resources, and environmental friendliness. Currently, the utilization of natural minerals as catalysts in AOPs lacks thorough investigation and review. This work addresses the need for a comprehensive review of natural minerals as catalysts in AOPs. The structural characteristics and catalytic performance of different natural minerals are discussed, emphasizing their specific roles in AOPs. Furthermore, the review analyzes the influence of process factors, including catalyst dosage, oxidant addition, pH value, and temperature, on the catalytic performance of natural minerals. Strategies for enhancing the catalytic efficiency of AOPs mediated by natural minerals are explored, mainly including physical fields, reductant addition, and cocatalyst utilization. The review also examines the practical application prospects and main challenges associated with the use of natural minerals as heterogeneous catalysts in AOPs. This work contributes to the development of sustainable and efficient approaches for organic pollutant degradation in wastewater.

Producing Metal Powder from Machining Chips Using Ball Milling Process: A Review. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:4635. [PMID: 37444950 DOI: 10.3390/ma16134635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
In the pursuit of achieving zero emissions, exploring the concept of recycling metal waste from industries and workshops (i.e., waste-free) is essential. This is because metal recycling not only helps conserve natural resources but also requires less energy as compared to the production of new products from virgin raw materials. The use of metal scrap in rapid tooling (RT) for injection molding is an interesting and viable approach. Recycling methods enable the recovery of valuable metal powders from various sources, such as electronic, industrial, and automobile scrap. Mechanical alloying is a potential opportunity for sustainable powder production as it has the capability to convert various starting materials with different initial sizes into powder particles through the ball milling process. Nevertheless, parameter factors, such as the type of ball milling, ball-to-powder ratio (BPR), rotation speed, grinding period, size and shape of the milling media, and process control agent (PCA), can influence the quality and characteristics of the metal powders produced. Despite potential drawbacks and environmental impacts, this process can still be a valuable method for recycling metals into powders. Further research is required to optimize the process. Furthermore, ball milling has been widely used in various industries, including recycling and metal mold production, to improve product properties in an environmentally friendly way. This review found that ball milling is the best tool for reducing the particle size of recycled metal chips and creating new metal powders to enhance mechanical properties and novelty for mold additive manufacturing (MAM) applications. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct further research on various parameters associated with ball milling to optimize the process of converting recycled copper chips into powder. This research will assist in attaining the highest level of efficiency and effectiveness in particle size reduction and powder quality. Lastly, this review also presents potential avenues for future research by exploring the application of RT in the ball milling technique.

Abstract
Natural siderite (FeCO3), simulated synthetic siderite and nZVI/FeCO3 composite were used as green and easily available iron-based catalysts in peroxydisulfate activation for remediating 2-chlorophenol as the target contaminant and this technique can effectively degrade organic pollutants in the soil. The key reaction parameters such as catalysts dosage, oxidant concentration and pH, were investigated to evaluate the catalytic performance of different materials in catalytic systems. The buffering property of natural soil conduced satisfactory degradation performance in a wide pH range (3-10). Both the main non-radical of 1O2 and free radicals of SO4·- and OH· were evidenced by quenching experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance. The reduction of nZVI on FFC surface not only has the advantage for electronic transfer to promote the circulation of Fe(III) to Fe(II), but also can directly dechlorinate. Furthermore, the intermediates were comprehensively analyzed by GC-MS and a potential removal mechanism of three oxidant system for 2-CP soil degradation was obtained. Briefly, this research provides a new perspective for organic contaminate soil treatment using natural siderite or simulated synthetic siderite as efficient and environmental catalytic material.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals, as anthropogenic pollutants in a wide range of water sources, generally require specific treatment methods for degradation. A trimetallic layered double hydroxide (CuCoFe-LDH) was successfully fabricated by coprecipitation and applied as a novel heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) catalyst for the degradation of acetaminophen (ACT) from aqueous environments. The EF experiments showed that the CuCoFe-LDH/EF process achieved 100% of ACT degradation efficiency within 60 min at pH = 5, catalyst dosage of 0.50 g/L, current density of 10 mA/cm2 and initial ACT concentration of 20 mg/L. An impressive (>80%) mineralization of ACT was obtained over a wide pH range (pH 3-9) after 180 min. Meanwhile, the role of ·OH and O2.- were certified by radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. Through mechanism exploration, the coexistence of Cu and Co on Fe-based LDHs can accelerate the interfacial electron transfer and promote the formation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus facilitating the EF process. Furthermore, the degradation by-products and possible degradation pathways of ACT in the CuCoFe-LDH/EF process were proposed. The reusability test and the treatment of various typical organic pollutants experiments indicated that the CuCoFe-LDH/EF process has excellent stability and broad application prospects. This work provides a valuable reference for the treatment of pharmaceuticals by the heterogeneous EF process in a wide range of pH.

Abstract
The huge application of synthetic dyes caused a severe impact in the environment. In the present study, a physico-chemical strategy of heterogeneous-Fenton catalyzed by the natural ferrous ore has been established for toxic chemical degradation, of which the complex and high-expense repetitive pH adjustment procedures were escaping. And this natural heterogeneous catalyst also could be recycled and sustainable for toxic substances treatment involved in synergetic adsorption and oxidation. The siderite, served as an adsorbent and catalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB). Siderite exhibited a better adsorption capacity with a saturated adsorption capacity of ∼11.08 mg/g. Batch adsorption experiments have verified that adsorption rate and adsorption equilibrium followed pseudo-second-order rate model and Langmuir isotherm equation, respectively. The combination with H2O2, showed significant enhancement of MB degradation without any pH adjustment. The effect of siderite dosage, H2O2 dosage, MB concentration, initial pH, and reaction temperature on MB degradation was investigated, which also has indicated the excellent catalytic performance of siderite. About 99.71% of MB was degraded in 480 min with initial pH of 7.0, reaction temperature of 25 °C, siderite, and H2O2 dosage of 2.5 g/L and 122.38 mM, respectively. It was found that siderite could be reused and remained high degradation efficiency on MB after 5 times reutilization, which also could demonstrate the sustainable and effective process to degrade organic pollution. The generation of reactive species including ·OH and O2·- have been confirmed based on scavenger test and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis, which was dominated by heterogeneous reaction. The possible degradation mechanisms of MB have been predicted based on spectrum scanning and GC-MS analysis. Moreover, acute toxicity assessment with marine photobacterium Vibrio fisheri was conducted to investigate the toxicity change in the adsorption/oxidation coupled process. This sustainable heterogeneous-Fenton technology has been verified as a promising and applicable process for toxic organic chemicals removal due to effective mineralization and detoxification assisted with the natural ore mineral through the simple operation and mild condtions.

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Siderite and Application as Catalyst in the Electro-Fenton Oxidation of p-Benzoquinone. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27228056.

Abstract
A weak aspect of the electro-Fenton (EF) oxidation of contaminants is the dependence of the Fenton reaction on acidic pH values. Therefore, the rationale of this work was to develop a novel catalyst capable of promoting the EF oxidation process at near-neutral and basic pH values. In this framework, rhombohedral FeCO3 was synthesized hydrothermally and used as a catalyst in the EF oxidation of p-benzoquinone (BQ). The catalyst was characterized using various surface and spectroscopic methods. Moreover, the effects of applied current (100-500 mA), time (1-9 h), catalyst dosage (0.25-1.00 g L-1), and initial concentration of BQ (0.50-1.00 mM) on the total organic carbon removal efficiency were determined. The results indicated that a 400 mA current was sufficient for a 95% total organic carbon removal and that the increase in catalyst dosage had a positive effect on the mineralization of BQ. It was determined that at pH 3, FeCO3 behaved like a homogeneous catalyst by releasing Fe3+ ions; whereas, at the pH range of 5-7, it shifted to a homogeneous/heterogeneous catalyst. At pH 9, it worked solely as a heterogeneous catalyst due to the decrease of Fe ions passing into the solution. Finally, the spent catalyst did not undergo structural deformations after the EF treatment at higher pH values and could be regenerated and used several times.

Abstract
The water pollution caused by industry emissions makes effluent treatment a serious matter that needs to be settled. Heterogeneous Fenton oxidation has been recognized as an effective means to degrade pollutants in water. Attapulgite can be used as a catalyst carrier because of its distinctive spatial crystal structure and surface ion exchange. In this study, iron ions were transported on attapulgite particles to generate an iron-supporting attapulgite particles catalyst. BET, EDS, SEM and XRD characterized the catalysts. The particle was used as a heterogeneous catalyst to degrade rhodamine B (RhB) dye in wastewater. The effects of H2O2 concentration, initial pH value, catalyst dosage and temperature on the degradation of dyes were studied. The results showed that the decolorization efficiency was consistently maintained after consecutive use of a granular catalyst five times, and the removal rate was more than 98%. The degradation and mineralization effect of cationic dyes by granular catalyst was better than that of anionic dyes. Hydroxyl radicals play a dominant role in RhB catalytic degradation. The dynamic change and mechanism of granular catalysts in catalytic degradation of RhB were analyzed. In this study, the application range of attapulgite was widened. The prepared granular catalyst was cheap, stable and efficient, and could be used to treat refractory organic wastewater.

A feasible approach for azo-dye methyl orange degradation in siderite/H 2O 2 assisted by persulfate: Optimization using response surface methodology and pathway. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 308:114397. [PMID: 35121467 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.114397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 12/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Siderite was applied to the binary oxidant system of siderite-catalyzed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and enhanced with persulfate (PS). In the absence of PS, methyl orange (MO) almost could not be degraded by the siderite/H2O2 process. However, adding PS significantly improved the capacity of MO to oxidize azo-dye. The influence of individual and interaction of reaction factors have been explored with a simple response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD). The quadratic model with low probabilities (<0.0001) at a confidence level of 95% was satisfactory to predict MO degradation in siderite/H2O2/PS system, whose correlation coefficients of R2 and R2-adj were 0.9569 and 0.9264, respectively. Moreover, the optimum operation conditions of 21.20 mM, 2.75 g/L, 3.86 mM, and 4.69 for H2O2, siderite, PS and initial pH, respectively with the response of C/C0 around 0.047. Radical scavenging experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) determined that ·OH was crucial for MO degradation, while the contribution of SO4·- was minor. The surface morphology and iron content of siderite before and after the oxidation process showed clear differences. Possible intermediates and a degradation pathway were proposed based on the results of UV-Vis spectral and GC-MS analysis. Moreover, the toxicity to Vibrio fischeri bioluminescent bacterium has increased in the earlier degradation stage due to the generated by-products and weaken with the continuous treatment. This study demonstrated that the siderite/H2O2/PS system was effective over a relatively wide pH range without producing secondary pollutants, making it a promising technology and potential environmentally benign approach to azo-dye wastewater treatment.

Application of a phosphonium-based ionic liquid for reactive textile dye removal: Extraction study and toxicological evaluation. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 304:114322.

Abstract
Textile dyeing processes are known for their negative environmental impacts due to the production of aqueous effluents containing toxic dyes. Therefore, new wastewater treatment processes need to be developed to treat such effluents, including Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE) process using Ionic Liquids (IL). This work aimed to evaluate the application of the hydrophobic IL trihexyltetradecylphosphonium decanoate to extract black, navy, and royal reactive dyes from water and evaluate the toxicological aspects of the resulting water stream. We investigated the effect of selected parameters, such as pH (2-12), temperature (20-50 °C), salt effects, dye concentration (0.5-50 mg/L), and phase volume ratio (900-9000) on the dye extraction. The results showed extraction yields as high as 97% for the three dyes and an extraction capacity of approximately 300 mg/g for black and navy dyes and 400 mg/g for royal. The toxicity tests involved Lactuca sativa, Triticum aestivium L, and Daphnia magna as bioindicators. The difference between the toxicity of the dye solutions before and after extraction was not statistically significant when L. sativa and Triticum aestivum L were used as bioindicators. However, the extracted solution showed increased toxicity towards D. magna due to traces of IL. Overall, the IL has a high extraction capacity for the black, navy, and royal dyes. Nevertheless, further studies on LLE associated with other processes must be carried out to reduce the risk linked to the toxicity of IL transferred to the water.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127558.

Abstract
The environmental and health issues of drinking water and effluents released into nature are among the major area of contention in the past few decades. With the growth of ultrasound-based approaches in water and wastewater treatment, promising materials have also been considered to employ their advantages. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are among the porous materials that have received great attention from researchers in recent years. Features such as high porosity, large specific surface area, electronic properties like semi-conductivity, and the capacity to coordinate with the organic matter have resulted in a substantial increase in scientific researches. This work deals with a comprehensive review of the application of MOFs for ultrasonic-assisted pollutant removal from wastewater. In this regard, after considering features and synthesis methods of MOFs, the mechanisms of several ultrasound-based approaches including sonocatalysis, sonophotocatalysis, and sono-adsorption are well assessed for removal of different organic compounds by MOFs. These methods are compared with some other water treatment processes with the application of MOFs in the absence of ultrasound. Also, the main concern about MOFs including environmental hazards and water stability is fully discussed and some techniques are proposed to reduce hazardous effects of MOFs and improve stability in humid/aqueous environments. Economic aspects for the preparation of MOFs are evaluated and cost estimates for ultrasonic-assisted AOP approaches were provided. Finally, the future outlooks and the new frontiers of ultrasonic-assisted methods with the help of MOFs in global environmental pollutant removal are presented.

Abstract
This study investigated the applicability of waste antivirus copper film (CF) as a Fenton-like catalyst. The reaction activity of H2O2 and CF in combination was significantly enhanced by ultrasound (US) irradiation, and the synergy factor calculated from bisphenol A (BPA) degradation using CF-H2O2-US was 9.64 compare to that of dual factors. Photoluminescence analyses were conducted to compare the generation of hydroxyl radicals during both processes. In this sono-Fenton-like process, BPA degradation was affected by solution pH, temperature, ultrasound power, CF size, H2O2 dose, and initial BPA concentration. The BPA degradation curves showed an induction period (first stage) and a rapid degradation period (second stage). Process efficiency was totally and partially enhanced in the presence of chloride and carbonate ions, respectively. Chemical scavenger tests showed that both free and surface-bound hydroxyl radicals participate in BPA degradation under the sono-Fenton-like process using CF. The functional groups and copper crystals on the CF surface remained unchanged after five consecutive reuses, and the BPA degradation efficiency of CF was maintained over 80% during the reuse processes as a sono-Fenton-like catalyst.

Abstract
Heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) allow for the destruction of aqueous organic pollutants via oxidation by hydroxyl radicals (•OH). However, practical treatment scenarios suffer from the low availability of short-lived •OH in aqueous bulk, due to both mass transfer limitations and quenching by water constituents, such as natural organic matter (NOM). Herein, we overcome these challenges by loading iron oxychloride catalysts within the pores of a ceramic ultrafiltration membrane, resulting in an internal heterogeneous Fenton reaction that can degrade organics in complex water matrices with pH up to 6.2. With •OH confined inside the nanopores (∼ 20 nm), this membrane reactor completely removed various organic pollutants with water fluxes of up to 100 L m-2 h-1 (equivalent to a retention time of 10 s). This membrane, with a pore size that excludes NOM (>300 kDa), selectively exposed smaller organics to •OH within the pores under confinement and showed excellent resiliency to representative water matrices (simulated surface water and sand filtration effluent samples). Moreover, the membrane exhibited sustained AOPs (>24 h) and could be regenerated for multiple cycles. Our results suggest the feasibility of exploiting ultrafiltration membrane-based AOP platforms for organic pollutant degradation in complex water scenarios.

Abstract
Photocatalysis technology is considered as a promising environmental remediation strategy. Herein, photocatalytic degradation of ammonium dinitramide (ADN, main component of propellant) was investigated over Bi2WO6/g-C3N4 (BWO/CN) heterostructure nanosheets prepared by a one-step in-situ hydrothermal method. The operating conditions including ADN initial concentration, catalyst dosage, initial pH, temperature and green oxidizer (hydrogen peroxide) were optimized systematically. Under optimal conditions, the photocatalytic degradation rate of ADN over BWO/CN can reach 98.93% after 80 min visible-light irradiation. Besides, the composite has excellent stability for ADN treatment and nitrate ions are the major degradation products. Furthermore, S-scheme heterojunction mechanism was proposed to explain the extremely high REDOX performance of BWO/CN composite.

Abstract
Dye-contaminated wastewaters are industrial wastewaters that are difficult to treat using traditional biochemical and physicochemical methods. In the present work, the acid red G was removed as a model pollutant by the electro-Fenton process for the first time. The anode and cathode used by the electro-Fenton process were iron plate and graphite felt, respectively. It was concluded that under the optimal conditions of current density = 20 mA cm-2, pH = 3 and initial Na2SO4 concentration = 0.2 M, the removal rate of acid red G (ARG) with an initial concentration of 300 mg L-1 could reach 94.05% after 80 min of electrolysis. This reveals that the electro-Fenton-Feox process used in this work has an excellent removal efficiency on acid red G. The required reagents (Fe2+ and H2O2) were generated by the electrode reaction, while the optimal generation conditions and mechanism of •OH, H2O2, and Fe2+ were investigated. By testing •OH, H2O2, and Fe2+ agents at different pH and current densities, it was revealed that the electro-Fenton reaction was most efficient when the current density was 20 mA cm-2, and the pH was 3. Moreover, the removal rate of ARG is consistent with first-order reaction kinetics.

Abstract
The main aim of the present investigation was the intercalation of WS2 nanosheets in the structure of ceria (CeO2) to be used for the efficient catalytic destruction of tylosin (TYL) as a macrolide antibiotic in water. As-synthesized heterostructured catalyst was placed in a sono-reactor (40 kHz and 300 W) in order to degrade TYL through the sonocatalysis. 15 wt% WS2/CeO2 was chosen for performing the systematic experiments. Decreasing the concentration of TYL, along with increasing the WS2/CeO2 dosage led to reduced degradation efficiency. The water hardness was demonstrated to be a suppressive agent on the sonocatalysis of the target pollutant. As-generated holes, OH, and also O2- were responsible for the degradation of TYL. Increasing the ultrasound power and operating temperature enhanced the degradation efficiency. The degradation rate boosted up when the temperature was raised from 10 °C (0.0107 1/min) to 40 °C (0.0165 1/min). Moreover, the lowest activation energy (Ea) for sonocatalytic degradation was obtained as 10.81 kJ/mol. The sonocatalytic activity of WS2/CeO2 in the sono-reactor encountered insignificant change within five consecutive operational runs (~15% reduction). The mechanism and pathways of the sonocatalytic decomposition of TYL are also proposed.

Abstract
Sonochemical synthesis (sonochemistry) is one of the most effective techniques of breaking down large clusters of nanoparticles (NPs) into smaller clusters or even individual NPs, which ensures their dispersibility (stability) in a solution over a long duration. This paper demonstrates the potential of sonochemistry becoming a valuable tool for the deposition of gold (Au) shell on iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) by explaining the underlying complex processes that control the deposition mechanism. This review summarizes the principles of the sonochemistry method and highlights the resulting phenomenon of acoustic cavitation and its associated physical, chemical and thermal effects. The effect of sonochemistry on the deposition of Au NPs on the Fe3O4 surface of various sizes is presented and discussed. A Vibra-Cell ultrasonic solid horn with tip size, frequency, power output of ½ inch, 20 kHz and 750 W respectively was used in core@shell synthesis. The sonochemical process was shown to affect the surface and structure of Fe3O4 NPs via acoustic cavitation, which prevents the agglomeration of clusters in a solution, resulting in a more stable dispersion. Deciphering the mechanism that governs the formation of Au shell on Fe3O4 core NPs has emphasized the potential of sonication in enhancing the chemical activity in solutions.

Abstract
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers were prepared via electrospinning and were modified with diethylenetriamine (DETA) to fabricate surface-modified PAN fibers. The surface-modified PAN fibers were used to evaluate their adsorption capacity for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption experiments were performed to examine the effects of the modification process, initial concentration, initial pH, and adsorbent dose on the adsorption of Cu(II). Kinetic analysis revealed that the experimental data fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model better than the pseudo-first-order model. Adsorption equilibrium studies were conducted using the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models, and the findings indicated that the PAN fibers modified with 85% DETA presented the highest adsorption capacity for Cu(II) of all analyzed samples. Moreover, the results revealed that the Freundlich model was more appropriate than the Langmuir one for describing the adsorption of Cu(II) onto the modified fibers at various initial Cu(II) concentrations. The maximum adsorption capacity was determined to be 87.77 mg/g at pH 4, and the percent removal of Cu(II) increased as the amount of adsorbent increased. Furthermore, the surface-modified PAN fibers could be easily regenerated using NaOH solution. Therefore, surface-modified PAN fibers could be used as adsorbents for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the photocatalytic performance of biochar (BC)-incorporated Zn-Co-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanostructures in gemifloxacin (GMF) degradation as a model pharmaceutical pollutant. The as-prepared Zn-Co-LDH@BC showed high photocatalytic efficiency due to the enhanced separation of photo-generated charge carriers using cobalt hydroxide as well as inhibiting the agglomeration of LDH nanostructures by incorporation of BC. According to the results, 92.7% of GMF was degraded through photocatalysis in the presence of Zn-Co-LDH catalyst. The photocatalytic performance of BC-incorporated Zn-Co-LDH was highly dependent on the solute concentration and photocatalyst dosage. The addition of ethanol caused more inhibiting effect than that of benzoquinone (BQ), indicating the major role of •OH in decomposition of GMF compared to the negligible role of O2•-. A greater enhancement in the photocatalytic degradation of GMF was obtained when the photoreactor containing Zn-Co-LDH@BC nanostructures was oxygenated. Less than 10% drop in the removal efficiency of GMF was observed within five successive operational runs. The results of chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis indicated the COD removal efficiency of about 80% within 200 min, indicating the acceptable mineralization of GMF. The reaction pathways were also proposed for the photocatalytic conversion of GMF under UV light irradiation.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 698:134293.

Abstract
Natural iron-bearing minerals have been proven to be effective for activating H2O2 to produce OH, which can be used to degrade organic pollutants. In this study, the performance of siderite to degrade sodium sulfadiazine via catalytic H2O2 degradation was investigated at different solution pH values from 3 to 9. An interesting discovery was made: the performance of the siderite-H2O2 system was excellent under acidic, neutral, and even alkaline conditions. The influence of various factors (e.g. initial concentration, anions, natural organic matters, etc.) on the system under different pH conditions was investigated, which confirmed that siderite exhibited an excellent catalytic performance. By combining EPR characterization with scavenger research, it was proposed that dissolved iron (Fe2+) mainly initiated the homogenous Fenton reaction to degrade pollutants under acidic conditions, while structural Fe2+ species present in siderite triggered Fenton-like reactions under neutral or even alkaline conditions. From the SEM and XPS characterizations, oxidation and dissolution of Fe2+ on the surface were also observed, confirming our inference concerning the different reaction mechanisms. The experimental findings show that this siderite-H2O2 system can be used in solutions with pH values from 3 to 9 and that siderite plays a positive role in soil and groundwater remediation when H2O2 is used as an oxidant.

Abstract
Powdered stone waste (PSW) obtained from a stone cutting industrial unit was applied as support for the immobilization of nano-sized ZnO to be utilized as an effective catalyst for the catalytic conversion of acetaminophen (ACE) under ultrasonication. The incorporation of ZnO nanostructures into PSW structure enhanced the specific surface area and pore volume of the as-prepared nanocompound. The change in the value of zero point of charge (pHzpc) of the PSW after being covered also demonstrated the good immobilization and distribution of ZnO nanostructures on the surface of PSW. The sonocatalysis of ACE over ZnO/PSW followed pseudo-first order kinetic (reaction rate of 2.27 × 10-2 1/min). The highest degradation efficiency of 98.1% was attained when the ZnO/PSW-contained sono-reactor was irradiated by UVC light. The presence of t-butanol led to the lowest degradation efficiency (57.7%), indicating that the sonocatalytic conversion of ACE was hydroxyl radical (OH)-dependent. Although the mineralization efficiency of ACE by the process was not excellent, bio-toxicity assessment on the effluent revealed decreasing the inhibition percent from 50.8 to 16.7% within reaction time of 240 min.

Abstract
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have received increasing attention in the field of wastewater treatment in recent years. However, membrane fouling is the main problem of MBRs, limiting their widespread and large applications. Membrane cleaning methods can be mainly classified into four types including chemical, physical, physico-chemical and biological clean the fouled membrane. In recent years, ultrasonication has been reported as a promising cleaning technique for the membranes fouled in MBRs. Ultrasonic irradiation can clean the fouled membrane by creating important physical phenomena including microjets, microstreams and shock waves. Moreover, the ultrasonic method can be combined with other cleaning methods e.g. chemical cleaning and backwashing in order to improve the cleaning efficiency. It should be noted that the application of ultrasonic in the MBR system is not limited to the cleaning of membrane. The pretreatment of the wastewater by ultrasonic irradiation or ultrasound coupled with other methods, e.g. ozonation, prior to MBR system, can decrease the organic loading of the wastewater and subsequently postpone the fouling of the membrane. This paper critically reviews the recent advances in the applications of ultrasound in MBR systems. Emerging issues associated with application of on-line ultrasound and also hybrid on-line ultrasound for controlling the membrane fouling in MBR systems are critically reviewed. Moreover, application of the ultrasound in ex-situ form for cleaning the fouled membranes and pretreatment of wastewater prior to the MBR system is discussed.

Abstract
The paper presents the results of investigations on the effectiveness and reaction rate constants of the oxidation of sulfide ions and organic sulfides in real industrial effluents from the production of bitumens (2000 mg S2- L-1) using hydrodynamic and acoustic cavitation. The content of the effluents was analysed in terms carbon disulfide, dimethyl sulfide, and di-tert-butyl disulfide concentration. A possibility of complete oxidation of sulfides by cavitation alone as well as by its combination with external oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone or peroxone was demonstrated. The oxidation time for the most effective processes is as little as 15 min. Due to the presence of sulfide ions, the effluents from the production of bitumens were oxidized at a strongly alkaline pH. The results of this study reveal the advantage of performing advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) at a basic pH. The effective degradation of sulfide ions enables performance of further degradation of organic contaminants at an acidic pH, ensuring high efficiency of treatment based, for example, on the Fenton reaction without the risk of release of hydrogen sulfide to the atmosphere. The results of this research are applicable to all kinds of caustic effluents for which the lack of possibility of pH adjustment limits their efficient treatment.

Abstract
Contamination of water resources by refractory organic pollutants is of great environmental and health concern because these compounds are not degraded in the conventional wastewater treatment plants. In recent years, sonocatalytic treatment has been considered as a promising advanced oxidation technique for the acceptable degradation and mineralization of the recalcitrant organic compounds. For this purpose, various sonocatalysts have been utilized in order to accelerate the degradation process. The present review paper provides a summary of published studies on the sonocatalytic degradation of various organic pollutants based on the application of carbon-based catalysts, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene (GR), graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), activated carbon (AC), biochar (BC), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), carbon doped materials, buckminsterfullerene (C60) and mesoporous carbon. The mechanism of sonocatalytic degradation of different organic compounds by the carbon-based sonocatalysts has been well assessed based on the literature. Moreover, the details of experimental conditions such as sonocatalyst dosage, solute concentration, ultrasound power, applied frequency, initial pH and reaction time related to each study have also been discussed in this review. Finally, concluding remarks as well as future challenges in this research field regarding new areas of study are also discussed and recommended.

Abstract
Nano-layered double hydroxide (NLDH) decorated with Fe and Cu was applied as a novel heterogeneous catalyst for catalytic degradation of gentamicin by the electro-Fenton (EF) process. The EF process was equipped with graphite plate under aeration to electrochemically generate hydrogen peroxide in the solution. The characterization analyses confirmed the suitable structure of as-synthesized Cu-Fe-NLDH to be acted as catalyst for treating the target pollutant. The comparative study showed the highest removal efficiency of 91.3% when the Cu-Fe-NLDH-equipped EF process was applied in comparison with the Fenton (50%) and the electro-oxidation alone (25.6%). The acidic pHs favored the degradation of gentamicin. Increasing the current resulted in the enhanced degradation of gentamicin, while the excessive electrolyte concentration (0.1 mol/L) and catalyst dosage (1.5 g/L) led to the tangible drop in the reactor performance. At a specified reaction time, the injection of O3 gas enhanced the efficiency of the Cu-Fe-NLDH-equipped EF process. The presence of ethanol led to more suppressing effect than benzoquinone, indicating the dominant role of OH radical in the degradation of gentamicin compared with other free radical species such as O2- radical. Only 10% drop in the degradation efficiency of gentamicin was observed within 10 operational runs. The mineralization efficiency of about 77% was achieved after 300 min in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. The intermediate byproducts generated during the destructive removal of gentamicin were also identified.

Ultrasound-assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like process for bisphenol A removal at neutral pH using hierarchically structured manganese dioxide/biochar nanocomposites as catalysts.

[PMID: 31208615 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2019.04.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2019] [Revised: 04/17/2019] [Accepted: 04/27/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an important emerging contaminant with endocrine-disrupting potential that has frequently been detected in aquatic environments. In this study, two types of hierarchically structured manganese dioxide/biochar nanocomposites (MnO2/BCs) were prepared for the first time via facile hydrothermal synthesis. The hydrothermal reaction was maintained at 100 °C for 6 h or 12 h, after which an ultrasound-assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like process was used to catalyze the removal of BPA under neutral pH condition. The characterization results indicated that MnO2 nanoparticles were successfully formed on the nanocomposite surfaces and had flower-like (δ-MnO2, 6 h) and urchin-like (α-MnO2, 12 h) morphology. This enabled a significant improvement in the catalytic activity of BPA removal by the reversible redox reaction. A series of experiments confirmed that the crystalline properties of the nanocomposites affected their catalytic activity. In particular, the α-MnO2/BCs exhibited catalytic activity in the ultrasound-assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like process and completely removed BPA within 20 min under the following conditions: [BPA]0 = 100 μM; [H2O2]0 = 10 mM; [catalyst]0 = 0.5 g/L; ultrasound = 20 kHz (130 W) at 40% amplitude; pH = 7.0 ± 0.1; and temperature = 25 ± 1 °C. This efficiency may have been due to the synergistic effect of ultrasound and α-MnO2/BCs, which simultaneously induce the effective generation of reactive free radicals and increase the mass transfer rate at the solid-liquid interface. Overall, these results demonstrated that hierarchical urchin-like α-MnO2/BCs have significant potential as an efficient and low-cost catalyst in ultrasound-assisted heterogeneous Fenton-like systems.

Abstract
The aim of the present investigation was the combination of ZnO nanostructures with nano-cellulose (NC) for the efficient degradation of tetracycline (TC) antibiotic under ultrasonic irradiation. The removal efficiency of 12.8% was obtained by the sole use of ultrasound (US), while the removal efficiency increased up to 70% by the US/ZnO treatment process. Due to the integration of ZnO nanostructures with NC, the removal efficiency of 87.6% was obtained within 45 min. The removal efficiency substantially decreased in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol (more than 25% reduction), indicating that radOH-mediation oxidation is responsible for the degradation of TC molecules. Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) led to the most enhancing effect on the removal of TC among percarbonate, persulfate and periodate ions. The addition of PMS caused the degradation efficiency of 96.4% within the short contact time of 15 min. The bio-toxicity examination on the basis of inhibition test conducted on activated sludge revealed diminishing the oxygen consumption inhibition percent [IOUR (%)] from 33.6 to 22.1% during the US/ZnO/NC process. Consequently, the utilization of the US/ZnO/NC process can convert TC molecules to less toxic compounds. However, longer reaction time is required for complete conversion into non-toxic substances.

Abstract
In the present work, the sonocatalytic degradation of butylparaben was investigated using Pd immobilized on carbon black as the sonocatalyst. The presence of 25 mg/L 10Pd/C significantly increased the removal rate of butylparaben and the observed kinetic constant increased from 0.0126 to 0.071 min-1, while the synergy index between sonolysis and adsorption was 70.7%. The BP degradation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with the apparent kinetic constant decreased from 0.071 to 0.030 min-1 when the initial concentration of butylparaben increased from 0.5 to 2 mg/L. The process was being favored slightly under alkaline conditions. The presence of organic matter (20 mg/L humic acid) reduced the apparent kinetic constant more than two times. The addition of chlorides up to 250 mg/L did not significantly reduce the rate of reaction, while the presence of 250 mg/L bicarbonates reduced the observed kinetic constant from 0.071 to 0.0472 min-1. The prepared catalyst retains the efficiency after five subsequent experiments since the apparent kinetic constant was only slightly decreased from 0.071 to 0.059 min-1.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to employ martite nanoparticles synthesized through planetary ball milling instead of conventional sources of iron for the activation of Oxone in order to decompose tetracycline (TC) antibiotic in the aquatic phase. Accordingly, martite nanoparticles-activated Oxone exhibited a remarkable improvement in degrading TC molecules up to 87%. The results indicated an increased decomposition rate of TC with increasing Oxone concentration, martite nanoparticles dosage, and initial pH. In the absence of ultrasound, the decomposition rate of TC was 0.0481 min-1 within 30 min, while the implementation of ultrasound at 320 W and addition of hydrogen peroxide at 40 mM led to increase in the decomposition rate up to 0.0770 and 0.0907 min-1, respectively. The presence of carbonate and even persulfate ions suppressed the decomposition rate. Inversely, the addition of chloride and carbon tetrachloride enhanced the reactor performance in terms of TC degradation. Within four consecutive experimental runs, only 10.8% was dropped in the decomposition rate, indicating the appropriate reusability potential of martite nanoparticles. The results confirmed the appropriate ability of the treatment process in degrading and mineralizing the target pollutant but a longer exposure time is required for an efficient mineralization.

Abstract
In this study, the heterogeneous Fenton oxidation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in an aqueous solution was examined over the nano-sized magnetite (Fe3O4) as a catalyst supplied through high-energy planetary ball milling process. To characterize the magnetite samples after and before ball milling operation, the X-ray diffraction (XRD), High-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis were applied. The catalytic properties of the magnetite were considerably improved because of the enhancement in its physical properties, resulted from milling process. The findings also indicated that 6 h ball-milled magnetite demonstrated better properties for elimination of CIP of about 89% following 120 min reaction at optimal conditions of H2O2 12 mM, Fe3O4 1.75 g L-1, CIP 10 mg L-1 and pH 3.0. The effects of various operational parameters, including the initial pH of the solution, H2O2 initial concentration, catalyst dosage, milling time and CIP initial concentration was investigated. Application of organic and inorganic scavengers considerably decreased the CIP removal efficiency. Correspondingly, with respect to the leached iron values at pH 3, it was concluded that CIP elimination was mainly occurred through heterogeneous Fenton procedure. This process included the adsorption and oxidation phases in which the hydroxyl radicals (OH) played a significant role. GC-MS analysis was used for recording of the generated intermediates of the CIP removal in the course of heterogeneous Fenton process.

Abstract
ZnFe nanolayered double hydroxide (NLDH) with anions of Cl- in its interlayer space was synthesized using a facile co-precipitation method. The synthesized ZnFe-Cl NLDH was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 adsorption/desorption, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and point of zero charge pH (pHpzc) analyses. In this research, the sonocatalytic activity of the as-prepared NLDH was investigated for removal of acid red 17 as model pollutant. The effects of the operating parameters including sonocatalyst concentration, pH, initial dye concentration, intensity of ultrasonic irradiation and the presence of radical scavengers and process enhancers were studied on the sonocatalytic degradation of acid red 17. The decreased decolorization efficiency in the presence of the radical scavengers confirmed that the free radicals play the basic roll in the degradation of acid red 17 molecules. In addition a probable mechanism for degradation of acid red 17 through the sonocatalytic process was proposed according to the identified intermediates detected using gas chromatography-mass (GC-MS) spectroscopy.
