Reevaluation for UV photolysis of Fe(III) inducing tetracycline abatement: Overlooked significance of complexation-assistance in environmental fates of antibiotics. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 458:131909. [PMID: 37459759 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023]
Abstract
Interaction of antibiotics with metal ions in aquatic environments, commonly occurring to form complexes, may affect the migration, transformation and reactivity of residual antibiotics. This study demonstrates the photolysis of Fe(III) by UV irradiation at pH 3.5, as an advanced oxidation process, to produce •OH for the abatement of a common broad-spectrum antibiotic compound, tetracycline (TET). The dimethylamino (-N(CH3)2) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups of TET were determined as the binding sites for the complexation with Fe(III) via a series of novel characterization approaches. The complexation stoichiometry of Fe(III)-TET complexation, including the complexation ratio, constants and percentages, was determined via a complexometric titration based on the UV differential spectroscopy. The complexation constant was determined to be 21,240 ± 1745 L·mol-1 under the designed conditions. Complexation of TET with Fe(III) enhanced its degradation in the UV/Fe(III) process, through the promotion of the •OH generation by inhibiting hydrolysis-precipitation process of Fe(III) and enhancing Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle and the acceleration of mass transfer between •OH and TET. This finding provides new insights into the role of complexation in the fate of residual antibiotics in the UV/Fe(III) process. The reduced overall ecotoxicity during the TET abatement, evaluated by the toxicity variation through ECOSAR program, provides the UV/Fe(III) process with a theoretical feasibility for water decontamination in actual applications.

[PMID: 36375908 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2021.11.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Revised: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Citrate (Ct) was chosen as a typical chelator used in the Fe2+-peroxydisulfate (PDS) process to improve sludge dewaterability. The PDS-Fe2+-Ct process exhibited better performance in sludge dewatering than PDS-Fe2+. Specifically, with a PDS dosage of 1.2 mmol/g VS, the molar ratio of PDS/Fe2+ and Ct/Fe2+ were 4:5 and 1:4, respectively, the capillary suction time decreased from 155.8 to 24.8sec, and the sludge cake water content decreased from 82.62% to 64.11% (-0.06MPa). The oxidation led to a reduced negative charge and a decrease in particle size. The enhanced sludge dewaterability and changes of sludge properties were attributed to the decomposition of extracellular polymeric substances, and it was explored by protein, polysaccharide, 3D-EEMs, and FT-IR. Additionally, the quenching experiments of radical species demonstrated that SO4-• played a more important role than •OH, and its productivity was improved with the addition of Ct. Moreover, the reasons for the improved productivity of radicals with the addition of Ct were discussed. The results of this study could serve as a basis for improving sludge dewatering using the PDS-Fe2+-Ct process and suggest that the addition of Ct may improve the productivity of SO4-• in the activation of PDS via Fe2+.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 326:116835. [PMID: 36435131 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.116835] [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: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Catalytic performances of Silica Pillared Clay (SPC) supports synthesized in different silica amounts both from standard SWy-2 clay mineral and Hançılı region bentonite rock (HWB), and iron (Fe) and/or titanium (Ti) incorporated SPCs in different combinations were evaluated in various advanced Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation (CWPO) of phenol. Host clay mineral type led to different oxidation performances and metal loading created significant increases in the catalytic performance. CWPO performance of Fe-loaded SPCs was better than Ti-loaded ones, so oxidation parameters for Fe-SPCs were studied in detail. Catalyst amount and rise in temperature increased phenol conversion values significantly, and catalysts were more effective in lower pH reaction medium. Aromatic intermediates such as catechol, hydroquinone and benzoquinone formed at the beginning of oxidation were oxidized to carboxylic acids with an advancing oxidation time. The presence of carboxylic acids such as oxalic and formic acid resulted in relatively low total organic carbon (TOC) conversion values. The highest catalytic activity was obtained with high silica content Fe-SPCs synthesized with both host clays. Complete conversion was nearly achieved within 60 min with an experimental condition of T = 30 °C, pH = 3.7 and catalyst/solution ratio = 2 g/L for SWy-2 based catalyst by applying either CWPO or PCWPO (Photo Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation) techniques. SCWPO (Sono Catalytic Wet Peroxide Oxidation) technique also yielded this value at the same oxidation conditions for HWB based catalyst. TOC conversion values at 240 min oxidation time were determined as 33% and 48% for SWy-2 based catalyst with CWPO and PCWPO techniques, respectively, and 37% for HWB based catalyst with SCWPO technique. SWy-2 based catalyst still retained its performance after 3 cycles.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 440:129780.

Abstract
In recent years, visible light assisted advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are appealing in the elimination of pollutants. Herein, an innovative and eco-friendly visible light enhanced Fe3+-nitrilotriacetic acid system for the activation of peroxydisulfate (Vis/Fe3+-NTA/PDS) was proposed for the removal of bisphenol A (BPA). Fe3+-NTA could be dissociated through ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) to realize the generation of Fe2+ for the continuous activation of PDS to remove BPA. The use of 0.10 mM Fe3+, 0.10 mM NTA and 1.00 mM PDS led to 97.5% decay of 0.05 mM BPA and 66.3% of TOC removal in 30 min with the illumination of visible light at initial pH 3.0. The sulfate and hydroxyl radicals were proved to be the dominant species leading to BPA removal by means of radical scavenging experiments, radical probes and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique. The effects of various operating parameters, natural water constituents as well as different water matrices on BPA abatement were explored. The intermediate products of BPA degradation were identified and a possible transformation pathway was proposed. Briefly, this research provides an attractive strategy for the remediation of refractory wastewater using NTA assisted with visible light in the homogeneous Fe3+/PDS system.

Abstract
Efficient and cost-effective method to destroy complex dyes is warranted to combat increasing water pollution. In the present study, homogeneous photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye was studied using ferric ions (Fe(III)) under visible light (VL) irradiation and sunlight (SL). In the presence of 5 mM ferric ions and at pH 2.6, more than 80% of initial 20 mg/L RB5 was decolourized in 60 min under artificial VL. Decolourization followed pseudo first-order kinetics with the reaction rate constant 0.0356 min-1. 79% of initial COD was removed at the end of 60 min, suggesting mineralization of RB5 as the main cause of decolourization. Using similar experimental conditions under SL, more than 90% RB5 was decolourized in 15 min with an almost 10-fold increase in the reaction rate constant (0.34 min-1). Rate and extent of RB5 destruction significantly decreased in the presence of •OH scavenger indicating photoreduction of Fe-hydroxo species and generation of •OH as the main mechanism of RB5 degradation. RB5 removal increased from ca. 30% to 84% with the increase in Fe(III) concentration from 0.5 to 5 mM. The corresponding 1st-order rate constants increased linearly from 0.006 to 0.036 min-1. RB5 degradation decreased linearly (R2 = 0.98) from 91.7% to 63.3% with the increase in initial RB5 concentration from 10 to 40 mg/L. Fe(III) induced homogenous PCO appears to be a reliable and low-cost method of advanced oxidation without the need for costly reagent such as H2O2.

Abstract
The emerging contaminants in wastewater discharged from numerous chemical process industries, pharmaceutical industries, textile, and wineries have attracted the attention of the scientific community due to their toxicity and persistence in the environment. The conventional techniques are incompetent to treat many of such recalcitrant toxic pollutants. To achieve high mineralization, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are found to be more efficient for the degradation of these organic pollutants without producing secondary pollutants with no/less amount of sludge. The primary oxidation agents for AOPs are in-situ generated free radicals, which are highly reactive and effective oxidants for degrading any type of organic molecules present in the wastewater. In the past decades, the combination of AOPs or simultaneous application of more than one AOP has been investigated extensively for wastewater treatment and these hybrid-AOPs have been reported to be beneficial for high-level mineralization of organic pollutants. This paper presented the characteristics, properties and influence of parameters in sono-photo-ferrioxalate system. The primary operating parameters in sono-photo-ferrioxalate system that affect the kinetics are defined as the solution pH, temperature, molar ratio of Fe3+/C2O42-, H2O2 concentration, source of light, ultrasound intensity, dissolved gases, and size of cavitation bubble. In this process, several oxidizing radicals are generated such as HO•, HO2•, C2O4•-, CO2•- and O2•- which are also responsible for degradation. In this review, we have mainly addressed the degradation of recalcitrant pollutants using the sono-photo-ferrioxalate system and a critical analysis of process parameters that influence mineralization efficiency.

Abstract
In this study, UV irradiated photochemical reactions of oxalate (Ox) with premagnetized-Fe0 (pre- Fe0) as the catalyst was used to degrade sulfamethazine (SMT). Magnetic field promoted the release of iron ion from Fe0 thus enhanced SMT and Ox removal in UV/pre- Fe0/Ox process. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that the presence of UV and Ox promoted the transformation of Fe3+ to Fe2+ on Fe0, which enhanced the surface bound •OH (•OHsurf) generation. Ox inhibited the formation of iron (hydro)xides and enhanced the hydroxylation of Fe0 surface. •OHsurf was mainly responsible for SMT removal (44%), while UV direct photolysis and •OH in the solution both caused around 28% SMT removal. The process with Ox exhibited much higher efficiency in SMT degradation than that added with H3PO4, citric acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, which greatly expanded the chelate-modified Fenton processes and their treatment efficiency.

Abstract
It was demonstrated in this study that appropriate concentrations of oxalate (Ox) would lead to greatly accelerated electro-generation of Fe2+ but obviously lower power consumption in the Fered-Fenton system. Depending on the Ti electrode with pristine TiO2 layer, effects of important parameters on the SMX degradation were investigated in the Fered-Fenton-Ox system. It was found that the heterogeneous interfacial electrochemically reduction of FeIII was critical in the Fered-Fenton-Ox system relying on the surface hydroxyl bonding FeIII-Ox and formation of FeOTi bonds. A heterogeneous-homogeneous reaction mechanism was therefore proposed. It included the heterogeneous interfacial electrochemical generation of FeII-Ox and the heterogeneous-homogenous Fenton oxidation of pollutants. The promotional role of Ox would be also homogenous and heterogeneous, i.e. maintaining ferric at higher pH and forming specific FeIII-Ox complex as well as accelerating the solid-liquid interfacial heterogeneous iron cycle. Furthermore, a continuous-flow pilot study was conducted in treating a printing and dyeing industrial wastewater. As compared to conventional Fenton and Fered-Fenton systems, the Fered-Fenton-Ox system could achieve more efficient COD removal with a relative low cost/△COD, suggesting great advantages in its practical applications for treating real industrial complex wastewaters.

Abstract
An UV enhanced electro-Fenton (EF) process was conducted in a flow-through system to remove rhodamine B (RhB) in the presence of ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA). The process was denoted as UV/EDTA/EF where EDTA formed complexes with iron ions, thus keeping them soluble at high pH values. The process was very efficient as it could initiate the fast reduction of FeIII to FeII and thus the decomposition of H2O2. The influence of Fe dose, the ratio of EDTA:Fe, aeration rate, flow rate, current, initial RhB concentration and pH on the RhB removal in the UV/EDTA/EF process was investigated. The best RhB removal was obtained as 89.9% at [Fe]0 = [EDTA]0 = 0.2 mM, current = 50 mA, aeration rate = 20 mL min-1, flow rate = 7 mL min-1, pH = 7 and [Na2SO4]0 = 0.05 M. The degradation of EDTA during the process was also studied. Radical scavenging experiments indicated that OH was the dominant radical for RhB removal. While, the photolysis of FeIIIEDTA was mainly responsible for EDTA degradation. RhB and EDTA removal in different systems was compared. The stability test proved that in the presence of EDTA, the UV/EF process could remove RhB with high efficiency in the first two runs. While, the efficiency dropped remarkably after EDTA's complete depletion. The mechanisms of the UV/EDTA/EF process were proposed. UV/EDTA/EF conducted in the flow-through system was able to efficiently remove RhB as well as EDTA in a wide pH range and proposed as a promising approach for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The development of simple Fenton/Fenton-like systems with durative hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation characteristics is significant to rapid organic pollutant degradation and cost-effective water treatment. In this study, a tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris)-incorporated Co(II)-H2O2 Fenton-like system has been successfully constructed for efficient Sunset Yellow (SY, a typical anionic azo dye) degradation under alkaline conditions. The mechanism of the enhanced degradation consists of two parts: first, the Tris-Co(II) complex triggers the durative generation of highly oxidized hydroxyl radicals; second, electrostatic attraction between SY and the Tris-Co(II) complex shortens the radical-SY interaction time and facilitates the degradation of SY. With the introduction of Tris to this proposed system, the decolorization rate of SY can be increased from 37.0 to 98.0% after 50 min and efficient SY degradation with a high total organic carbon removal efficiency (>59.0%) is achieved under a wide initial pH from 8.7 to 12.0. Moreover, the universality of the designed system for anionic azo dye degradation is verified with reactive red and congo red.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photochemical reactions associated with natural iron (hydr)oxides and oxalic acid have attracted a great deal of scientific attention in the application of organic pollutants degradation. However, the reaction mechanism is still unclear due to the complicated iron cycles and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In this study, the in situ attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was implemented to investigate the adsorption process and photochemical behavior of oxalic acid on the surface of ferrihydrite. A comprehensive reaction mechanism from the perspective of charge transfer process, including homogeneous-heterogeneous iron cycling and ROS generation, was illustrated in detail. We found that oxalic acid was first adsorbed on the surface of ferrihydrite with a mononuclear bidentate binding geometry. Interestingly, this mononuclear bidentate complex on the surface of ferrihydrite was stable under visible light irradiation. Subsequently, the whole complex departed from ferrihydrite surface through non-reduction dissolution with the form of Fe(C2O4)+. In the solution, the Fe(C2O4)+ complexes would quickly convert to Fe(C2O4)2- complexes. Under visible light irradiation, the electrons generated from the photolysis of Fe(C2O4)2- complex reacted with O2 to form O2•-/•OOH. Meanwhile, Fe(III) was reduced to Fe(II). Finally, the produced O2•-/•OOH could react with Fe(II) through a one-step way to generate •OH, which possessed higher •OH formation efficiency than that through the two-step way of H2O2 as the intermediates. This study helps us with understanding of in-situ photochemical reaction mechanism of ferrihydrite-oxalic acid system, and also provides guidance to effectively utilize widespread iron (hydr)oxides and organic acids in natural environment to develop engineered systems for water treatment.

Abstract
The review is devoted to modern Fenton, photo-Fenton, as well as Fenton-like and photo-Fenton-like reactions with participation of iron species in liquid phase and as heterogeneous catalysts. Mechanisms of these reactions were considered that include hydroxyl radical and oxoferryl species as the reactive intermediates. The barriers in the way of application of these reactions to wastewater treatment were discussed. The following fundamental problems need further research efforts: inclusion of more mechanism steps and quantum calculations of all rate constants lacking in the literature, checking the outer sphere electron transfer contribution, determination of the causes for the key changes in the homogeneous Fenton reaction mechanism with a change in the reagents concentration. The key advances for Fenton reactions implementation for the water treatment are related to tremendous hydrodynamical effects on the catalytic activity, design of ligands for high rate and completeness of mineralization in short time, and design of highly active heterogeneous catalysts. While both homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton and photo-Fenton systems are open for further improvements, heterogeneous photo-Fenton systems are most promising for practical applications because of the inherent higher catalyst stability. Modern methods of quantum chemistry are expected to play a continuously increasing role in development of such catalysts.

Iron(III) minerals and anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) synergistically enhance bioreduction of hexavalent chromium by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2018; 640-641:591-598.

Abstract
Bioreduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) to sparingly soluble trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) is a strategy for the remediation of Cr(VI) contaminated sites. However, its application is limited due to the slow bioreduction process. Here we explored the potential synergistic enhancement of iron(III) minerals (nontronite NAu-2, ferrihydrite, and goethite) and electron shuttle anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) on the bioreduction of Cr(VI) by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. AQDS alone increased the bioreduction rate of Cr(VI) by accelerating electron transfer from MR-1 to Cr(VI). Iron minerals alone did not increase the bioreduction rate of Cr(VI), where the electron transfer from MR-1 to Fe(III) minerals was inhibited due to the toxicity of Cr(VI) to MR-1. AQDS plus NAu-2 or ferrihydrite significantly enhanced the bioreduction rate of Cr(VI) as compared to AQDS or NAu-2/ferrihydrite alone, demonstrating that AQDS plus NAu-2/ferrihydrite had the synergistic effect on bioreduction of Cr(VI). Synergy factor (kcells+Fe+AQDS/(kcells+Fe + kcells+AQDS)) was used to quantify the synergistic effect of AQDS and iron minerals on the bioreduction of Cr(VI). The synergy factors of AQDS plus NAu-2 were 2.09-4.63 (three Cr(VI) spikes), and the synergy factors of AQDS plus ferrihydrite were 1.89-4.61 (two Cr(VI) spikes). In the presence of Cr(VI), AQDS served as the electron shuttle between MR-1 and iron minerals, facilitating the reduction of Fe(III) minerals to Fe(II). The synergistic enhancement of AQDS and NAu-2/ferrihydrite was attributed to the generated Fe(II), which could quickly reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III). Our results provide an attractive strategy to strengthen the bio-immobilization of Cr(VI) at iron-rich contaminated sites through the synergistic enhancement of iron(III) minerals and electron shuttle.

Abstract
On-surface degradation of sildenafil (an adequate substrate as it contains assorted functional groups in its structure) promoted by the Fenton (Fe2+ /H2 O2 ) and Fenton-like (Mn+ /H2 O2 ; Mn+ = Fe3+ , Co2+ , Cu2+ , Mn2+ ) systems was investigated by using paper spray ionization mass spectrometry (PS-MS). The performance of each system was compared by measuring the ratio between the relative intensities of the ions of m/z 475 (protonated sildenafil) and m/z 235 (protonated lidocaine, used as a convenient internal standard and added to the paper just before the PS-MS analyzes). The results indicated the following order in the rates of such reactions: Fe2+ /H2 O2 ≫ H2 O2 ≫ Cu2+ /H2 O2 > Mn+ /H2 O2 (Mn+ = Fe3+ , Co2+ , Mn2+ ) ~ Mn+ (Mn+ = Fe2+ , Fe3+ , Co2+ , Cu2+ , Mn2 ). The superior capability of Fe2+ /H2 O2 in causing the degradation of sildenafil indicates that Fe2+ efficiently decomposes H2 O2 to yield hydroxyl radicals, quite reactive species that cause the substrate oxidation. The results also indicate that H2 O2 can spontaneously decompose likely to yield hydroxyl radicals, although in a much smaller extension than the Fenton system. This effect, however, is strongly inhibited by the presence of the other cations, ie, Fe3+ , Co2+ , Cu2+ , and Mn2+ . A unique oxidation by-product was detected in the reaction between Fe2+ /H2 O2 with sildenafil, and a possible structure for it was proposed based on the MS/MS data. The on-surface reaction of other substrates (trimethoprim and tamoxifen) with the Fenton system was also investigated. In conclusion, PS-MS shows to be a convenient platform to promptly monitor on-surface oxidation reactions.

Abstract
In this study, significant synergistic degradation of antibiotic diclofenac (DCF) was demonstrated in a novel magnetic field (MF) enhanced zero-valent iron (ZVI)/EDTA Fenton-like system. Five operational parameters, namely, initial ZVI loading, pH, EDTA dosage, DCF concentration and reaction temperature, were investigated for their effects on the DCF degradation. OH was identified as the predominant reactive oxygen species for DCF degradation in ZVI/EDTA systems whether in the presence or absence of MF. DCF molecule can be oxidized by OH, attacking via the hydroxylation and substituted dechlorination of the chlorinated aromatic ring, as well as by dehydration between the N atom and the acetoxyl. It could also be directly dechlorinated by ZVI reduction simultaneously. The reaction mechanism and promotional role of MF in the MF/ZVI/EDTA system were proposed. It is suggested that MF mainly alters the heterogeneous ZVI surface-bond reactions and accelerates the surface corrosion depending on the presence of pristine iron oxides layer, but MF does not change the homogeneous iron cycle and the Fenton-like reactions.

Abstract
This study demonstrated the efficient degradation of a typical bio-refractory antibiotic norfloxacin (NOR) in a photochemical iron oxides/oxalate system adopting magnetic catalyst (Fe3O4/UV/Ox). It was found that the in-situ generated HO was the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) but CO2- could also participate in the NOR degradation to form formylate organic intermediates. Besides, NOR would be degraded via an interesting pathway comprising an initial lag and a subsequent rapid period, where the former could be eliminated by introducing the pre-dissolution of Fe3O4 particles. Furthermore, specific comparative investigations and surface characterizations of pre-adsorbed Fe3O4 particles had evidenced that the existence of surface-bound iron-Ox complexes would be critical for the heterogeneous photochemical dissolution of Fe3O4 and effectively initiated the subsequent homogeneous-heterogeneous NOR degradation. Finally, a comprehensive distinguishing reaction mechanism was proposed including a homogeneous-heterogeneous iron cycle on the solid-water interface and a series of homogeneous radical reactions. Therein, complexation instead of photochemical reduction would be dominant during the whole dissolution process even under UV irradiation. Rapid electrons exchange would occur photochemically between FeII and FeIII in the octahedral sites, further weakening the surface Fe-O bonds and accelerating its breakaway from the bulk Fe3O4 structure. This work could distinguish the complex heterogeneous/homogeneous reactions in the photochemical in-situ chemical oxidation systems that utilize naturally abundant iron oxides and polycarboxylic acids.

Abstract
A new process of electrolysis cell (EC) coupled with microbial fuel cell (MFC) was developed here and its feasibility in methyl red (MR) wastewater treatment and simultaneous electricity generation was assessed. Results indicate that an excellent MR removal and electricity production performance was achieved, where the decolorization and COD removal efficiencies were 100% and 89.3%, respectively and a 0.56V of cell voltage output was generated. Electrolysis voltage showed a positive influence on decolorization rate (DR) but also cause a rapid decrease in current efficiency (CE). Although a low COD removal rate of 38.5% was found in EC system, biodegradability of MR solution was significantly enhanced, where the averaged DR was 85.6%. Importantly, COD removal rate in EC-MFC integrated process had a 50.8% improvement compared with the single EC system. The results obtained here would be beneficial to provide a prospective alternative for azo dyes wastewater treatment and power production.

Abstract
In this study, synergistic degradation of antibiotic norfloxacin (NOR) was obtained in a novel sonochemical ultrasound/zero-valent iron/tetraphosphate system (US/ZVI/TPP). Compared to three common organic ligands (EDTA, EDDS, and DTPA), TPP could perform more excellently in activation of O2 to produce reactive oxidative species (ROS) and lead to efficient Fenton-like oxidative degradation of NOR in the sonochemical in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) system. An optimized initial condition was obtained as 10mg/L NOR, 0.3mM TPP, 1g/L ZVI and initial pH 7, and the US/ZVI/TPP system would effectively degrade NOR with relative low dosage of ZVI and ligand as well as broad pH work range 3-9. It was found that three ROS (OH, O2- and H2O2) instead of OH only would participate in the NOR degradation, while the in situ generation of H2O2 during the series of Fe-TPP reactions should be more critical. Fourteen organic intermediates and four inorganic products were detected during the NOR decomposition, suggesting that two main degradation pathways would occur under OH oxidation via cleavage of the piperazine ring and defluorination of the benzene ring, respectively. Finally, an integrated reaction mechanism in the US/ZVI/TPP system was proposed including solid-liquid interfacial iron corrosion as well as bulk homogenous oxygen activation and Fenton reactions, wherein US would play mechanically and chemically promotional roles. Besides, triple-repeated treatments suggested the relative long-term re-usage of ZVI particles and low effluent dissolved iron (<0.6mg/L).

Abstract
In this study, a successful decolorization of Orange G was achieved by means of coupling zero valent iron (ZVI), H2O2 and ultrasound (US) under acidic pH conditions. The synergistic effect and characterization of potential roles of the factors including ZVI, tert-Butanol as radical scavenger, dissolved ferrous ions and H2O2 generated from sonication were evaluated in this sono-advanced Fenton process (SAFP) system. A clear synergy was evident in terms of decolorization rate and the TOC removal as the input of US enhanced the activity of the Fe(0)/H2O2 system. The results suggested that the ZVI was potential replacement for the Fe(2+) ion. This remarkable activity was attributed to the capacity of Fe(2+) formed and reduction of sonic-dissolved Fe(2+) concentration by the formation of {Fe·Fe(2+)}. The modification of the condition of H2O2 addition such as the dosage and input method showed significant variations in terms of decolorization rate. This result indicated that the optimal external addition of H2O2 and input method is a limited factor of decolorization rate due to its comparatively insufficient generated by ultrasound.

Abstract
In this paper, the performance and application of zero-valent iron (ZVI) assisted by ultrasonic irradiation for the removal of selenite (Se(IV)) in wastewater was evaluated and reaction mechanism of Se(IV) with ZVI in such systems was investigated. A series of batch experiments were conducted to determine the effects of ultrasound power, pH, ZVI concentration, N2 and air on Se(IV) removal. ZVI before and after reaction with Se(IV) was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Results indicated that ultrasound can lead to a significant synergy in the removal of Se(IV) by ZVI because ultrasound can promote the generation of OH and accelerate the advanced Fenton process. The primary reaction products of ZVI and Se(IV) were Se(0), ferrihydrite, and Fe2O3.

Abstract
The effects of ultrasonic irradiation, the chelating agent modified Fenton reaction, and a combination of ultrasound and the Fenton method in removing petroleum contaminants from a soil were studied. The results showed that the contaminant removal rate of the Fenton treatment combined with an oxalic acid chelating agent was 55.6% higher than that without a chelating agent. The average removal rate of the contaminants using the ultrasound-Fenton treatment was 59.0% higher than that without ultrasonic treatment. A combination of ultrasound and an Fe(2+)/Fe(3+)-oxalate complex-modified Fenton reagent resulted in significantly higher removal rates of n-alkanes (C(n)H(2n+2), n < 28), isoprenoid hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and saturated polycyclic terpenes compared with the ultrasound treatment alone or the Fenton method. The Fenton reaction and the ultrasound-Fenton treatment can unselectively remove multiple components of residual hydrocarbons and a number of benzene rings in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The chemistry of the heterocyclic compounds and the position and number of substituents can affect the degradation process.

Abstract
Sonophotolytic degradation of THMs mixture with different electrical energy ratio was carried out for efficient design of process. The total consumed electrical energy was fixed around 50W, and five different energy conditions were applied. The maximum degradation rate showed in conditions of US:UV=1:3 and US:UV=0:4. This is because the photolytic degradation of bromate compounds is dominant degradation mechanism for THMs removal. However, the fastest degradation of total organic carbon was observed in a condition of US:UV=1:3. Because hydrogen peroxide generated by sonication was effectively dissociated to hydroxyl radicals by ultraviolet, the concentration of hydroxyl radical was maintained high. This mechanism provided additional degradation of organics. This result was supported by comparison between the concentration of hydrogen peroxide sole and combined process. Consequently, the optimal energy ratio was US:UV=1:3 for degradation of THMs in sonophotolytic process.

Abstract
The degradation of phenol in acidic solution at pH 3 has been investigated under various photo- and electrochemical conditions. A laboratory-scale reactor on which were mounted net electrodes (RuO2/IrO2-coated Ti anodes (DSA) and stainless steel cathodes) and 254 nm UV lamps was established to effectively reduce ferric reagents. The experimental results of the photoelectron-chemical reaction suggested that the current efficiency of reducing ferric ion was improved by increasing the number of electrodes used, and the UV lamps were important to inducing the reduction of ferric carboxylates, which were the major intermediates that were formed upon a particular degree of phenol oxidation. Accordingly, the addition of an initial concentration of 400 ppm ferrous salt and 10,200 ppm hydrogen peroxide (in a continuous mode) resulted in the removal of over 92 % of TOC (initial phenol = 2,000 ppm, TOC = 1,532 ppm) by 4 h of the photoelectro-Fenton and the sequential 2 h of the photo-Fenton processes. HPLC was utilized to monitor the formation of aromatic and carboxylate byproducts, and revealed that the aid of photo irradiation eliminated most of the oxalate residue from the final solution, which would have contributed to the 25 % of the TOC that was inactive in the electrolytic system.
