Artificial Manganese Metalloenzymes with Laccase-like Activity: Design, Synthesis, and Characterization. ACS APPLIED BIO MATERIALS 2024; 7:4760-4771. [PMID: 38916249 PMCID: PMC11253090 DOI: 10.1021/acsabm.4c00571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
Laccase is an oxidase of great industrial interest due to its ability to catalyze oxidation processes of phenols and persistent organic pollutants. However, it is susceptible to denaturation at high temperatures, sensitive to pH, and unstable in the presence of high concentrations of solvents, which is a issue for industrial use. To solve this problem, this work develops the synthesis in an aqueous medium of a new Mn metalloenzyme with laccase oxidase mimetic catalytic activity. Geobacillus thermocatenulatus lipase (GTL) was used as a scaffold enzyme, mixed with a manganese salt at 50 °C in an aqueous medium. This leads to the in situ formation of manganese(IV) oxide nanowires that interact with the enzyme, yielding a GTL-Mn bionanohybrid. On the other hand, its oxidative activity was evaluated using the ABTS assay, obtaining a catalytic efficiency 300 times higher than that of Trametes versicolor laccase. This new Mn metalloenzyme was 2 times more stable at 40 °C, 3 times more stable in the presence of 10% acetonitrile, and 10 times more stable in 20% acetonitrile than Novozym 51003 laccase. Furthermore, the site-selective immobilized GTL-Mn showed a much higher stability than the soluble form. The oxidase-like activity of this Mn metalloenzyme was successfully demonstrated against other substrates, such as l-DOPA or phloridzin, in oligomerization reactions.

Abstract
Manganese oxides can oxidize organic compounds, such as phenols, and may potentially be used in passive water treatment applications. However, the impact of common water constituents, including cations and dissolved organic matter (DOM), on this reaction is poorly understood. For example, the presence of DOM can increase or decrease phenol oxidation rates with manganese oxides. Furthermore, the interactions of DOM and cations and their impact on the phenol oxidation rates have not been examined. Therefore, we investigated the oxidation kinetics of six phenolic contaminants with acid birnessite in ten whole water samples. The oxidation rate constants of 4-chlorophenol, 4-tert-octylphenol, 4-bromophenol, and phenol consistently decreased in all waters relative to buffered ultrapure water, whereas the oxidation rate of bisphenol A and triclosan increased by up to 260% in some waters. Linear regression analyses and targeted experiments demonstrated that the inhibition of phenol oxidation is largely determined by cations. Furthermore, quencher experiments indicated that radical-mediated interactions from oxidized DOM contributed to enhanced oxidation of bisphenol A. The variable changes between compounds and water samples demonstrate the challenge of accurately predicting contaminant transformation rates in environmentally relevant systems based on experiments conducted in the absence of natural water constituents.

Abstract
Mediating the anoxic ammonia oxidation with manganese oxide (MnOx) can reduce the requirements of dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in constructed wetlands (CWs) and improve the removal of ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N). Recent studies that employed natural manganese ore and/or mine waste as substrates in CWs may develop potentially negative environmental effects due to leachates. However, removing NH4+-N by anoxic ammonia oxidation is influenced by the crystal form of MnOx. In this study, a novel clinoptilolite-based amorphous-MnO2 (amorphous-MnO2/clinoptilolite) was synthesized by the sol-gel method as an alternative substrate to improve the efficiency of anoxic ammonia oxidation and reduce the impact of Mn ion leaching. According to the anoxic ammonia oxidation experiment of clinoptilolite, amorphous-MnO2/clinoptilolite, and manganese ore on NH4+-N, the amounts of NH4+-N removed were 24.55 mg/L/d, 44.55 mg/L/d, and 11.04 mg/L/d, respectively, and the initial NH4+-N concentration was 49.53 mg/L. These results indicated that the amorphous-MnO2/clinoptilolite had both the adsorption and the anoxic ammonia oxidation performance. The recycling experiment demonstrated that the effect of anoxic ammonia oxygen mediated by amorphous-MnO2 would not diminish with the gradual saturation of clinoptilolite for NH4+-N. Furthermore, the anoxic ammonia oxidation consumed NH4+-N in the clinoptilolite, which restored the adsorption capacity of the clinoptilolite and simultaneously decreased the leakage of manganese ions in the process, making it environmentally friendly. Therefore, the amorphous-MnO2/clinoptilolite provided an excellent substrate material for the constructed wetland under an anoxic environment, which greatly improved the nitrogen removal capacity compared to existing substrate materials.

Abstract
The oxidation of dissolved Mn2+(aq) plays a critical role in driving manganese cycles and regulating the fate of essential elements and contaminants in environmental systems. Based on sluggish oxidation rate, abiotic processes have been considered less effective oxidation pathway for manganese oxidation in environmental systems. Interestingly, a recent study (Jung et al., 2021) has shown that the rapid photochemical oxidation of Mn2+(aq) could be a feasible scenario to uncover the potential significance of abiotic Mn2+(aq) oxidation. Nevertheless, the significance of photochemical oxidation of Mn2+(aq) under natural sunlight exposure remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate the rapid photocatalytic oxidation of Mn2+(aq) and the heterogeneous growth of tunnel-structured Mn oxides under simulated freshwater and seawater conditions in the presence of natural sunlight and hematite. The natural sunlight-driven photocatalytic oxidation of Mn2+(aq) by hematite showed kinetic constants of 1.02 h-1 and 0.342 h-1 under freshwater and seawater conditions, respectively. The natural sunlight-driven photocatalytic oxidation rates are quite comparable to the results obtained from the previous laboratory test using artificial sunlight, which has ∼4.5 times stronger light intensity. It is likely because of ∼5.5 times larger light exposure area in the natural sunlight-driven photocatalytic oxidation than that of the laboratory test using artificial sunlight. We also elucidate the roles of cation species in controlling the oxidation rate of Mn2+(aq) and the crystalline structure of Mn oxide products. Specifically, in the presence of large amounts of cations, the oxidation rate of Mn2+(aq) was slower likely because of competitive adsorption. Furthermore, our findings highlight that Mg2+ contributes significantly to the formation of large-tunneled Mn oxides. These results illuminate the importance of abiotic photocatalytic processes in controlling the redox chemistry of Mn in real environmental aqueous systems on the oxidation of Mn2+(aq), and provide an environmentally sustainable approach to effectively remediate water contaminated with Mn2+(aq) using natural sunlight.

Abstract
MnxOy coated over TiO2 nanotube array substrate was doped with Mo and polyaniline (PANI) and applied for electrochemical desulfurization of concentrated sulfide (HS-) solutions at basic pH, typical of biogas scrubbing solutions and industrial wastewater. Mo and PANI co-dopants significantly enhanced the anode activity towards sulfide oxidation and ensured its complete stability even in highly corrosive sulfide solutions (e.g., 200 mM HS-). This was due to the increased electrochemically active surface area, improved coating conductivity and reduced charge transfer resistance. The (electro)catalytic oxidation of HS- demonstrated robust performance with very limited impact of different operational parameters (e.g., dissolved oxygen, anode potential, HS- concentration). Due to the formation of elemental sulfur (S0) layer at the anode surface at basic pH, longer term anode usage requires its periodic removal. Chemical dissolution of S0 with toluene allows its rapid removal without affecting the anode activity, and easy recrystallization and recovery of pure sulfur.

Abstract
The wastewater discharged from crude oil storage tanks (WCOST) contains high concentrations of salt and metal iron ions, and high chemical oxygen demand (COD). It belongs to "3-high" wastewater, which is difficult for purification. In this study, WCOST treatments were comparatively investigated via an advanced pretreatment and the traditional coagulation-microfiltration (CMF) processes. After WCOST was purified through the conventional CMF process, fouling occurred in the microfiltration (MF) membrane, which is rather harmful to the following reverse osmosis (RO) membrane unit, and the effluent featured high COD and UV254 values. The analysis confirmed that the MF fouling was due to the oxidation of ferrous ions, and the high COD and UV254 values were mainly attributable to the organic compounds with small molecular sizes, including aromatic-like and fulvic-like compounds. After the pretreatment of the advanced process consisting of aeration, manganese sand filtration, and activated carbon adsorption in combination with CMF process, the removal efficiencies of organic matter and total iron ions reached 97.3% and 99.8%, respectively. All the water indexes of the effluent, after treatment by the advanced multi-unit process, meet well the corresponding standard. The advanced pretreatment process reported herein displayed a great potential for alleviating the MF membrane fouling and enhanced the lifetime of the RO membrane system in the 3-high WCOST treatment.

Abstract
Bioaugmented sand filtration has attracted considerable attention because it can effectively remove contaminants in drinking water without additional chemical reagent addition. In this study, a synthesized chemical manganese dioxide (MnO2)-coated quartz sand (MnQS) and biogenic manganese oxide (BioMnOx) composite system was proposed to simultaneously remove typical pharmaceutical contaminants and Mn2+. We demonstrated a manganese-oxidizing bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. QJX-1, could oxidize Mn2+ to generate BioMnOx using humic acids (HA) as sole carbon source. The coaction of MnQS, QJX-1, and the generated BioMnOx in simultaneously removing caffeine and Mn2+ in the presence of HA was evaluated. We found a synergistic effect between them. MnQS and BioMnOx together significantly increased the caffeine removal efficiency from 32.8% (MnQS alone) and 21.5% (BioMnOx alone) to 61.2%. Meanwhile, Mn2+ leaked from MnQS was rapidly oxidized by QJX-1 to regenerate reactive BioMnOx, which was beneficial for continuous contaminant removal and system stability. Different degradation intermediates of caffeine oxidized by MnQS and BioMnOx were detected by LC-QTOF-MS analysis, which implied that caffeine was oxidized by a different pathway. Overall, this work promotes the potential application of bioaugmented sand filtration in pharmaceutical removal in the presence of natural organic matter in drinking water.

Abstract
The ionic strength of infiltration water changes with the seasonal alternation of irrigation sources. In this study, reactivity changes of birnessite-coated sand with the fluctuations of ionic strength of infiltration water (i.e. from groundwater to rainwater) and the involved mechanism were investigated through column experiments. Birnessite-coated sand was less reactive in groundwater than in rainwater because of the higher cation content and higher pH of groundwater. The cations in the groundwater were adsorbed on birnessite-coated sand and then desorbed in presence of a dilute aqueous solution represented by rainwater. The reactivity of the passivated birnessite-coated sand was recovered instantaneously, and approximately one-third of the pristine reactivity was restored. During recovery, Na+ desorption and lincomycin (LIN) removal both exhibited a two-stage reaction pattern. The LIN removal correlated with Na+ desorption (r = 0.99) so that the reactive sites that were binding 5.602 μmol of Na+ became available for 1 μmol of LIN removal. These results suggest that the reactivity of manganese oxides toward organic contaminant is associated with the ionic strength of infiltration water and indicate that the partial reactivity can be naturally restored.

Abstract
Stormwater runoff capture and groundwater recharge can provide a sustainable means of augmenting the local water resources in water-stressed cities while simultaneously mitigating flood risk, provided that these processes do not compromise groundwater quality. We developed and tested for one year an innovative pilot-scale stormwater treatment train that employs cost-effective engineered geomedia in a continuous-flow unit-process system to remove contaminants from urban runoff during aquifer recharge. The system consisted of an iron-enhanced sand filter for phosphate removal, a woodchip bioreactor for nitrate removal coupled to an aeration step, and columns packed with different configurations of biochar- and manganese oxide-containing sand to remove trace metals and persistent, mobile, and toxic trace organic contaminants. During conditioning with authentic stormwater runoff over an extended period (8 months), the woodchip bioreactor removed 98% of the influent nitrate (9 g-N m-3 d-1), while phosphate broke through the iron-enhanced sand filter. During the challenge test (4 months), geomedia removed more than 80% of the mass of metals and trace organic compounds. Column hydraulic performance was stable during the entire study, and the weathered biochar and manganese oxide were effective at removing trace organic contaminants and metals, respectively. Under conditions likely encountered in the field, sustained nutrient removal is probable, but polar organic compounds such as 2,4-D could breakthrough after about a decade for conditions at the study site.

Abstract
In soil environments, the sequestration and transformation of organic carbon are closely associated with soil minerals. Birnessite (MnO2) is known to strongly interact with soil dissolved organic matter (DOM), but the microscopic distribution and molecular transformation of soil DOM on birnessite are still poorly understood. In this study, the coupled sorption and oxidation of soil DOM on birnessite were investigated at both the microscopic scale and the molecular level. Spherical aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (Cs-STEM) results revealed, at the nano- to sub-nanoscale, that DOM was located both on the surfaces and within the interflakes or pore spaces of birnessite, and DOM within the interflakes displayed a higher oxidation state than that on the surfaces. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) results suggested that a portion of phenolic compounds were preferentially sorbed and oxidized, resulting in the formation of compounds with higher oxygen contents and polymeric products. Our Cs-STEM and FT-ICR-MS results highlighted the significance of organo-mineral associations in the microscopic mineral structure for the reactivity of organic carbon and provided the molecular evidence for the transformation of soil DOM by birnessite, which contributed to the understanding of the dynamics of soil dissolved organic carbon.

Duan Y, Sedlak DL. An electrochemical advanced oxidation process for the treatment of urban stormwater. WATER RESEARCH X 2021; 13:100127. [PMID: 34927040 PMCID: PMC8649961 DOI: 10.1016/j.wroa.2021.100127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Revised: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Recharge of urban stormwater has often been limited by the high cost of land and concerns about contamination of groundwater. To provide a possible solution, we developed an electrochemical advanced oxidation system (UV/H2O2) that is compatible with high-capacity stormwater recharge systems (e.g., drywells). The system employed an air-diffusion cathode to generate a H2O2 stock solution (i.e., typically around 600 mM) prior to the storm event. The H2O2 stock solution was then metered into stormwater and converted into hydroxyl radical (•OH) by an ultraviolet lamp. The energy consumption for H2O2 generation was optimized by adjusting the applied current density and adding an inert salt (e.g., Na2SO4) to stormwater. H2O2 in the stock solution was unstable. By mixing the basic H2O2 containing catholyte and the acidic anolyte, the stability increased, enabling generation of the H2O2 stock solution up to three days prior the storm event with loss of less than 20% of the H2O2. Lab-scale experiments and a kinetic model were used to assess the feasibility of the full-scale advanced oxidation system. System performance decreased at elevated concentrations of dissolved organic carbon in stormwater, due to enhanced light reflection and backscattering at the water-air interface in the UV reactor, competition for UV light absorption with H2O2 and the tendency of organic matter to act as a •OH scavenger. The proposed system can be incorporated into drywells to remove greater than 90% of trace organic contaminants under typical operating conditions. The electrical energy per order of the system is estimated to range from 0.5 to 2 kWh/m3, depending on the dissolved organic carbon concentration.

Abstract
This research investigated the removal of heavy metal ions (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) and metalloid (As) common to stormwater runoff onto biochar-based media arranged in multiple configurations. Laboratory scale column experiments were conducted to quantify heavy metal removal efficiencies using sand, biochar, and nZVI-modified biochar (BC-nZVI) in four media configurations: a homogeneous mixture of sand and biochar (BCM); biochar layered in sand (BCL); BC-nZVI layered in sand (BCZ); and sand as a control. An inverse modeling approach was implemented to measured moisture and experimental data to determine media hydraulic parameters (θr, θs, α, n and Ks) and adsorption coefficients. The experiment was conducted using laboratory synthesized stormwater over 200 days at a rate of 5 cm/day. BCZ exhibited an excellent removal (99%) of As due to the high attachment to nZVI, via surface complexations. Biochar with abundant surface oxygen functional groups exhibited a great (99%) removal of Cd and Zn in both BCL and BCM columns. Water contents were observed 66.0, 44.3, 41.4, and 7.2% for BCL, BCM, BCZ, and sand, respectively. The attachment coefficients varied from 21.5 to 44.9, 16.1 to 19.3, 18.8 to 26.0, and 9.6 to 19.9 L/kg for BCL, BCM, BCZ, and sand, respectively. This study’s output provides useful information for stormwater management practices.

Abstract
Manganese oxide-coated sand can oxidize electron-rich organic contaminants, but after extended exposure to contaminated water its reactivity decreases. To assess the potential for regenerating geomedia, we measured the ability of passivated manganese-oxide coated sand to oxidize bisphenol A after treatment with oxidants, acid, or methanol. Among the regenerants studied, KMnO4, HOCl, HOBr, and pH 2 or 3 HCl solutions raised the average oxidation state of the Mn, but only HOCl and HOBr restored the reactivity of passivated geomedia to levels comparable to those of the virgin manganese-oxide coated sand. Treatment with HCl restored about one third of the reactivity of the material, likely due to dissolution of reduced Mn. Mn K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy data indicated that the reactive manganese oxide phases present in virgin geomedia and geomedia regenerated with HOCl or HOBr had nanocrystalline cryptomelane-like structures and diminished Mn(III) abundance relative to the passivated geomedia. KMnO4-regenerated geomedia also had less Mn(III), but it exhibited less reactivity with bisphenol A because regeneration produced a structure with characteristics of δ-MnO2. The results imply that manganese oxide reactivity depends on both oxidation state and crystal structure; the most effective chemical regenerants oxidize Mn(III) to Mn(IV) oxides exhibiting nanocrystalline, cryptomelane-like forms.

Abstract
Aerobic reactions of iron(III), nickel(II), and manganese(II) chlorides with formaldoxime cyclotrimer (tfoH3) and 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (tacn) produce indefinitely stable complexes of general formula [M(tacn)(tfo)]Cl. Although the formation of formaldoxime complexes has been known since the end of 19th century and applied in spectrophotometric determination of d-metals (formaldoxime method), the structure of these coordination compounds remained elusive until now. According to the X-ray analysis, [M(tacn)(tfo)]+ cation has a distorted adamantane-like structure with the metal ion being coordinated by three oxygen atoms of deprotonated tfoH3 ligand. The metal has a formal +4 oxidation state, which is atypical for organic complexes of iron and nickel. Electronic structure of [M(tacn)(tfo)]+ cations was studied by XPS, NMR, cyclic (CV) and differential pulse (DPV) voltammetries, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. Unusual stabilization of high-valent metal ion by tfo3- ligand was explained by the donation of electron density from the nitrogen atom to the antibonding orbital of the metal-oxygen bond via hyperconjugation as confirmed by the NBO analysis. All complexes [M(tacn)(tfo)]Cl exhibited high catalytic activity in the aerobic dehydrogenative dimerization of p-thiocresol under ambient conditions.

Abstract
Stormwater is a major component of the urban water cycle contributing to street flooding and high runoff volumes in urban areas, and elevated contaminant concentrations in receiving waters from contact with impervious surfaces. Engineers and city planners are investing in best management practices to reduce runoff volume and to potentially capture and use urban stormwater. However, these current approaches result in moderate to low contaminant removal efficiencies for certain classes of contaminants (e.g., particles, nutrients, and some metals). This review describes options and opportunities to augment existing stormwater infrastructure with conventional and emerging reactive media to improve contaminant removal. This critical analysis characterizes media physicochemical properties and mechanisms contributing to contaminant removal, describes possible candidates for new engineered media, highlights lab and field studies investigating stormwater media contaminant removal, and identifies possible limitations and knowledge gaps in media implementation. Following this analysis, information is provided regarding factors that may contribute to or adversely impact urban stormwater treatment by media. The review closes with insights into additional research directions and important information necessary for safe and effective urban stormwater treatment using media.

Abstract
Many phenolic compounds found as contaminants in natural waters are susceptible to oxidation by manganese oxides. However, there is often variability between oxidation rates reported in pristine matrices and studies using more environmentally relevant conditions. For example, the presence of cations generally results in slower phenolic oxidation rates. However, the underlying mechanism of cation interference is not well understood. In this study, cation co-solutes inhibit the transformation of four target phenols (bisphenol A, estrone, p-cresol, and triclosan) by acid birnessite. Oxidation rates for these compounds by acid birnessite follow the same trend (Na+ > K+ > Mg2+ > Ca2+) when cations are present as co-solutes. We further demonstrate that the same trend applies to these cations when they are absent from solution but pre-exchanged with the mineral. We analyze valence state, surface area, crystallinity, and zeta potential to characterize changes in oxide structure. The findings of this study show that pre-exchanged cations have a large effect on birnessite reactivity even in the absence of cation co-solutes, indicating that the inhibition of phenolic compound oxidation is not due to competition for surface sites, as previously suggested. Instead, the reaction inhibition is attributed to changes in aggregation and the mineral microstructure.

Abstract
Manganese oxides have been proposed as promising geomedia to remove trace organic contaminants in both natural soils and artificial infiltration systems. Although MnOx-based redox processes have been largely investigated, little is known on the effects of water flow and dissolved MnII on manganese-mediated redox reactions in saturated porous media. Here, we have demonstrated that the reactive transport of a widely used quinolone antibiotic, pipemidic acid (PIP), in MnO2-coated sand (MCS) columns is altered by the presence of dissolved MnII, generated in situ as reduced ions or present in inflow solution. Decreasing the flow rate or flow interruption facilitated oxidation reactions and generated redox byproducts (MnII and PIPox). However, preloading of MCS columns with dissolved MnII led to suppressed reactivity with PIP. When PIP and MnII are simultaneously injected, competition between PIP and MnII for binding at the edge sites takes place during the initial kinetic phase of reaction, while at a later breakthrough time MnII will occupy both edge and vacancy sites due to the continuous supply of MnII. We also developed a reactive transport model that accounts for adsorption kinetics to predict changes in transport behavior of antibiotics in the presence of different doses of dissolved MnII. This work has strong implications for an accurate assessment of the reactivity of manganese oxides used as engineered geomedia for quinolone remediation and in developing transport models of antibiotics in natural systems.

Abstract
Although redox reactions of organic contaminants with manganese oxides have been extensively studied, the role of dissolved O2 in these processes has largely been overlooked. In this study, the oxidative degradation of phenol by δ-MnO2 was investigated under both oxic and anoxic conditions. Dissolved O2 inhibited phenol degradation due to its promoting role in the reoxidation and precipitation of reduced Mn(ii) to Mn(iii) on the δ-MnO2 surface, resulting in partial transformation of δ-MnO2 to "c-disordered" H+-birnessite at pH 5.5 and feitknechtite, manganite, and hausmannite at pH 7.0 and 8.5. The reformed Mn(iii) phases could reduce phenol oxidation by blocking reactive sites of δ-MnO2. In addition, dissolved O2 caused a higher degree of particle agglomeration and a more severe specific surface area decrease, and hence lower reactivity of δ-MnO2. These findings revealed that after reductive dissolution by phenol and reoxidation by dissolved O2 throughout continuous redox cycling, δ-MnO2 became less reactive rather than being regenerated. These results can provide new insights into the understanding of the oxidation of organic contaminants by manganese oxides in the natural environment.

Abstract
Functionalized polymer-clay composites were developed and characterized as engineered geomedia for trace contaminant removal during infiltration of urban runoff. Montmorillonite clays were functionalized with either poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride (PDADMAC) or poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-styrene) (PVPcoS) to enhance organic compound sorption using a simple, scalable synthesis method. Seven representative trace organic compounds and six trace metals were employed to assess the performance of the polymer-clay composites relative to biochar (i.e., an adsorbent proposed for similar purposes) in batch sorption and column studies under simulated stormwater conditions. Contaminant and geomedia electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, and the presence of natural organic matter (NOM) affected sorption. In batch studies, polymer-clay composites exhibited similar performance to biochar for perfluoroalkyl substance removal, but had lower affinity for polar pesticides and tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate. Oxyanion removal was greatest for positively-charged PDADMAC-clay composites (particularly Cr[VI]), while PVPcoS-clay composites removed over 95% of Ni, Cd, and Cu. NOM decreased removal of all organic compounds, but increased trace metal removal on clay composites due to sorption of NOM-complexed metals. Polymer-clay composite-amended columns best removed oxyanions, while biochar-amended columns exhibited superior removal for all trace organics. At 3 wt% geomedia-sand loading, clay composites exhibited significantly higher saturated hydraulic conductivity than biochar, which is advantageous when clogging is a concern or when rapid infiltration is needed. Under typical urban stormwater conditions, the clay composites will remove contaminants for at least 20-30 years before regeneration or replacement is needed.

Abstract
The degradation of surface water quality in the US is mostly contributed by nonpoint-source pollution, in which stormwater runoff plays a major role. Stormwater runoff pollution is difficult to control due to its diffuse and stochastic loading. In this study, multifunctional AlMg/GO engineered sand synthesized via a simple method was used to address four major categories of runoff contaminants, namely nutrient (phosphate), metal (zinc), organic contaminant (caffeine), and pathogen (E. coli), simultaneously. For chemical contaminants (phosphate, zinc, and caffeine), Freundlich and Thomas models can successfully describe the batch isotherms and breakthrough curves of column flow-through experiments, respectively. Better E. coli retention capacity and antibacterial activity of the engineered sand than that of the raw sand was demonstrated in E. coli retention and revitalization experiments. The engineered sand also showed good performance in actual surface runoff. Based on the results of the column flow-through experiments and the literature-reported typical field conditions and design criteria (e.g. 50 m3 engineered sand for 5000 m2 catchment; dissolved concentrations in the runoff: phosphate 0.2 mg/L, zinc 0.3 mg/L, and caffeine 0.0002 mg/L), a preliminary operational lifetime estimation was conducted, which indicated that the engineered sand can maintain its effectiveness for 90% removal of the dissolved phosphate, zinc, and caffeine from stormwater runoff for 81, 15, and >100 years, respectively. The engineered multifunctional sand proved to be a promising solution to future stormwater runoff management.

Abstract
In this study, a manganese(IV) oxide-mediator (MnO2-mediator) system for the abatement of sulfonamide antibiotics was evaluated. Two simple model humic constituents, syringaldehyde (SA) and acetosyringone (AS), could promote the transformation of sulfonamides at pH 5-8. Two additional potential mediators, tannic acid and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonate (ABTS), had negligible enhancement on the transformation of sulfonamides by MnO2. The enhancing effect was attributed to the reaction of the oxidized mediator (i.e., phenoxy radical or benzoquinone-like compounds) produced from the oxidation of the mediators by MnO2 with SMX. Thereby cross-coupling products from sulfamethoxazole (SMX) with oxidized SA were formed in the MnO2-SA system, which was confirmed by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Coexisting metal ions (i.e., Ca(II), Mg(II) and Mn(II)) showed inhibitory effects in the order of Mn(II)> Ca(II)> Mg(II). For repetitive runs of the MnO2-SA-SMX system, MnO2 lost its oxidative capacity due to the sorption of Mn(II) on the reactive sites of the MnO2 surface. A full regeneration of partially deactivated MnO2 by oxidation of the sorbed Mn(II) with Mn(VII) could be achieved.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disrupting compound commonly found in natural waters at concentrations that are considered harmful for aquatic life. Manganese(iii/iv) oxides are strong oxidants capable of oxidizing organic and inorganic contaminants, including BPA. Here we use δ-MnO2 in stirred flow reactors to determine if higher influent BPA concentrations, or introduction rates, lead to increased polymer production. A major BPA oxidation product, 4-hydroxycumyl alcohol (HCA), is formed through radical coupling, and was therefore used as a metric for polymer production in this study. The influent BPA concentration in stirred flow reactors did not affect HCA yield, suggesting that polymeric production is not strongly dependent on influent concentrations. However, changes in influent BPA concentration affected BPA oxidation rates and the rate of δ-MnO2 reduction. Lower aqueous Mn(ii) production was observed in reactors at higher BPA introduction rates, suggesting that single-electron transfer and polymer production are favored under these conditions. However, an examination of Mn(ii) sorption during these reactions indicated that the length of the reaction, rather than BPA introduction rate, caused enhanced aqueous Mn(ii) production in reactors with low introduction rates and longer reaction times due to increased opportunity for disproportionation and comproportionation. This study demonstrates the importance of investigating both the organic and inorganic reactants in the aqueous and solid phases in this complex reaction.

Abstract
Addition of Mn(iv)-oxide phases pyrolusite or birnessite was investigated as a remedial amendment for Hg-contaminated sediments. Because inorganic Hg methylation is a byproduct of bacterial sulfate reduction, reaction of Mn(iv) oxide with pore water should poise sediment oxidation potential at a level higher than favorable for Hg methylation. Changes in Mn(iv)-oxide mineralogy and oxidation state over time were investigated in sediment tank mesocosm experiments in which Mn(iv)-oxide amendment was either mixed into Hg-contaminated sediment or applied as a thin-layer sand cap on top of sediment. Mesocosms were sampled between 4 and 15 months of operation and solid phases were characterized by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). For pyrolusite-amended sediments, Mn(iv) oxide was altered to a mixture of Mn(iii)-oxyhydroxide and Mn, Fe(iii, ii)-oxide phases, with a progressive increase in the Mn(ii)-carbonate fraction over time as mesocosm sediments became more reduced. For birnessite-amended sediments, both Mn(iii) oxyhydroxide and Mn(ii) carbonate were identified at 4 months, indicating a faster rate of Mn reduction compared to pyrolusite. After 15 months of reaction, birnessite was converted completely to Mn(ii) carbonate, whereas residual Mn, Fe(iii, ii)-oxide phases were still present in addition to Mn(ii) carbonate in the pyrolusite mesocosm. In the thin-layer sand cap mesocosms, no changes in either pyrolusite or birnessite XAS spectra were observed after 10 months of reaction. Equilibrium phase relationships support the interpretation of mineral redox buffering by mixed-valent (Mn, Fe)(iii, ii)-oxide phases. Results suggest that amendment longevity for redox buffering can be controlled by adjusting the mass and type of Mn(iv) oxide applied, mineral crystallinity, surface area, and particle size. For a given site, amendment capping versus mixing with sediment should be evaluated to determine the optimum treatment approach, which may vary depending on application constraints, rate of Mn(iv) oxide transformation, and frequency of reapplication to maintain desired oxidation state and pH.

Abstract
Urban stormwater runoff is a significant source of pollutants in surface water bodies. One such pollutant, 1H-benzotriazole, is a persistent, recalcitrant trace organic contaminant commonly used as a corrosion inhibitor in airplane deicing processes, automobile liquids, and engine coolants. This study explored the removal of 1H-benzotriazole from stormwater using bench-scale biofilter mesocosms planted with California native sedge, Carex praegracilis, over a series of three storm events and succeeding monitoring period. Benzotriazole metabolites glycosylated benzotriazole and benzotriazole alanine were detected and benzotriazole and glycosylated benzotriazole partitioning in the system were quantified. With a treatment length of seven days, 97.1% of benzotriazole was removed from stormwater effluent from vegetated biofilter mesocosms. Significant concentrations of benzotriazole and glycosylated benzotriazole were observed in the C. praegracilis leaf and root tissue. Additionally, a significant missing sink of benzotriazole developed in the vegetated biofilter mesocosms. This study suggests that vegetation may increase the operating lifespan of bioretention basins by enhancing the degradation of dissolved trace organic contaminants, thus increasing the sorption capacity of the geomedia.

Abstract
Limited concentrations of oxygen in constructed wetlands (CWs) have inhibited their ability to remove emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) at μg/L or ng/L levels. Manganese (Mn) oxides were proposed as a solution, as they are powerful oxidants with strong adsorptive capabilities. In the present study, triclosan (TCS) was selected as a typical EOC, and CW microcosms with Mn oxides (birnessite) coated sand (B-CWs) and without (C-CWs) were developed to test the removal capacities of TCS and common nutrients. We found that the addition of Mn oxides coated sand significantly improved removal efficiencies of TCS, NH4-N, COD, NO3-N and TP (P < 0.05). The average concentration of Mn(II) effluent was 0.036 mg L-1, mostly lower than the drinking water limit. To gain insight into the mechanisms of pollution removal, Mn transformation, dissolved oxygen (DO) distribution, bacterial abundance, and microbial community composition were also investigated. Maximum Mn(II) was detected at 20 cm height of the B-CWs in anoxic zone. Although Mn-oxidizing bacteria existed in the layer of 30-50 cm with 103-104 CFU g-1 dry substate, Mn oxides were only detected at height from 40 to 50 cm with rich oxygen in B-CW. The quantities of bacterial 16S rRNA, amoA, narG and nosZ were not significantly different between two systems (P > 0.05), while Illumina high-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the abundance of denitrifying bacteria was significant higher in B-CWs, and the abundance of Gammaproteobacteria that have a recognized role in Mn transformation were significantly increased. The results indicated that Mn oxides could enhance TCS and common pollutants removal in both anoxic and aerobic areas through the recycling of Mn between Mn(II) and biogenic Mn oxides.

Abstract
Urban stormwater, municipal wastewater effluent, and agricultural runoff contain trace amounts of organic contaminants that can compromise water quality. To provide a passive, low-cost means of oxidizing substituted phenols, aromatic amines, and other electron-rich organic compounds during infiltration of contaminated waters, we coated sand with manganese oxide using a new approach involving the room-temperature oxidation of Mn2+ with permanganate. Manganese oxide-coated sand effectively oxidized bisphenol A under typical infiltration conditions and sustained reactivity longer than previously described geomedia. Because geomedia reactivity decreased after extended operation, chlorine was evaluated for use as an in situ geomedia regenerant. Geomedia regenerated by HOCl demonstrated similar reactivity and longevity to that of virgin geomedia. Chemical analyses indicated that the average manganese oxidation state of the coatings decreased as the geomedia passivated. X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that the reactive virgin and regenerated geomedia coatings had nanocrystalline manganese oxide structures, whereas the failed geomedia coating exhibited greater crystallinity and resembled cryptomelane. These results suggest that it is possible to regenerate the oxidative capacity of manganese oxide-coated sands without excavating stormwater infiltration systems. These results also suggest that manganese oxide geomedia may be a cost-effective means of treating urban stormwater and other contaminated waters.

Abstract
The reaction of bisphenol A (BPA) using laboratory synthesized (Syn-MnOx) and commercially available (Com-MnOx) MnOx(s) media was investigated using spectroscopic and aqueous chemistry methods. The surface area of Syn-MnOx (128 m2 g-1) and Com-MnOx (13.6 m2 g-1) differed by an order of magnitude. The impurities were less than 1% by weight for Syn-MnOx while Com-MnOx contained 29% impurity by weight, mainly Al, Si and Fe. The removal of 99.7% BPA was observed applying Syn-MnOx, while 71.2% BPA removal was observed applying Com-MnOx after 44 hours of reaction of 10 mM MnOx(s) media with 1 mM BPA at pH 5.5. The reduction of Mn was detected in the surface of both BPA reacted media, but a higher content of reduced Mn was observed in Syn-MnOx (52% in Syn-MnOx compared to 29% in Com-MnOx). The release of soluble Mn was an order of magnitude higher in batch experiments reacting BPA with Syn-MnOx compared with Com-MnOx. The C 1s and O 1s XPS high resolution spectral analyses identified the presence of functional groups that likely correspond to BPA oxidation products, such as dimers and quinones associated with MnOx(s) surfaces on both reacted media. The reaction of BPA with Syn-MnOx fit the electron transfer-limited model (R2 = 0.96), while the reaction of BPA with Com-MnOx had a better fit for surface complex formation-limited model (R2 = 0.95). These results suggest that BPA removal and the reactivity of MnOx(s) are affected by the differences in surface area and impurities present in these media. Thus, this study has relevant implications for the reaction of MnOx(s) with emerging organic contaminants in natural biogeochemical processes and water treatment applications.

Abstract
Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to reduce microbial pollution in runoff, but their removal efficiencies differ. Enhanced BMPs, such as those with media amendments, can increase removal of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in runoff from 0.25-log10 to above 3-log10; however, their implications for watershed-scale management are poorly understood. In this work, a computational model was developed to simulate watershed-scale bacteria loading and BMP performance using the Ballona Creek Watershed (Los Angeles County, CA) as a case study. Over 1400 scenarios with varying BMP performance, percent watershed area treated, BMP treatment volume, and infiltrative capabilities were simulated. Incremental improvement of BMP performance by 0.25-log10, while keeping other scenario variables constant, reduces annual bacterial load at the outlet by a range of 0-29%. In addition, various simulated scenarios provide the same FIB load reduction; for example, 75% load reduction is achieved by diverting runoff from either 95% of the watershed area to 25 000 infiltrating BMPs with 0.5-log10 removal or 75% of the watershed area to 75 000 infiltrating BMPs with 1.5-log10 removal. Lastly, simulated infiltrating BMPs provide greater FIB reduction than noninfiltrating BMPs at the watershed scale. Results provide new insight on the trade-offs between BMP treatment volume, performance, and distribution.

Abstract
Nanostructured manganese oxides, e.g. MnO2, have shown laccase-like catalytic activities, and are thus promising for pollutant oxidation in wastewater treatment. We have systematically compared the laccase-like reactivity of manganese oxide nanomaterials of different crystallinity, including α-, β-, γ-, δ-, and ɛ-MnO2, and Mn3O4, with 2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) and 17β-estradiol (E2) as the probing substrates. The reaction rate behaviors were examined with regard to substrate oxidation and oxygen reduction to evaluate the laccase-like catalysis of the materials, among which γ-MnO2 exhibits the best performance. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was employed to assess the six MnOx nanomaterials, and the results correlate well with their laccase-like catalytic activities. The findings help understand the mechanisms of and the factors controlling the laccase-like reactivity of different manganese oxides nanomaterials, and provide a basis for future design and application of MnOx-based catalysts.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting compound widely used in the plastic industry and found in natural waters at concentrations considered harmful for aquatic life. BPA is susceptible to oxidation by Mn(III/IV) oxides, which are commonly found in near-surface environments. Here, we quantify BPA oxidation rates and the formation of its predominant product, 4-hydroxycumyl alcohol (HCA), in tandem with transformation of a synthetic, Mn(III)-rich δ-MnO2. To investigate the effect of Mn oxide structural changes on BPA oxidation rate, 12 sequential additions of 80 μM BPA are performed at pH 7. During the additions, BPA oxidation rate decreases by 3 orders of magnitude, and HCA yield decreases from 40% to 3%. This is attributed to the accumulation of interlayer Mn(II/III) produced during the reaction, as observed using X-ray absorption spectroscopy, as well as additional spectroscopic and wet chemical techniques. HCA is oxidized at a rate that is 12.6 times slower than BPA and accumulates in solution. These results demonstrate that BPA degradation by environmentally relevant Mn(III/IV) oxides is inhibited by the buildup of solid-phase Mn(II/III), specifically in interlayer sites. Nevertheless, Mn oxides may limit BPA migration in near-surface environments and have potential for use in drinking and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Coexisting metal ions may significantly inhibit the oxidative reactivity of manganese oxides toward organic contaminants in metal-organic multi-pollutant waters. While the metal inhibition on the oxidation of organic contaminants by manganese oxides has previously been reported, the extent of the inhibition in relation to metal properties has not been established. Six alkali, alkaline, and transition metals, as well as two testing metals were evaluated for their abilities to inhibit the reactivity of birnessite. Regardless of the pathways of phenol and diuron oxidation (polymerization vs. breakdown), the extent of metal inhibition depended mainly on the metal itself and its concentration. The observed metal inhibition efficiency followed the order of Mn2+ > Co2+ > Cu2+ > Al3+ > Mg2+ > K+, consistent with metal adsorption on birnessite. The first-order organic oxidation rate constant (kobs) was linearly negatively correlated with metal adsorption (qe) on birnessite. These observations demonstrated that the metal inhibition efficiency was determined by metal adsorption on birnessite. The slopes of the kobs-qe varied among metals and followed the order of K+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Mn2+ > Cd2+ > Co2+ > Cu2+ > Al3+. These slopes defined intrinsic inhibitory abilities of metals. As metals were adsorbed hydrated on birnessite, the intrinsic inhibitory ability was significantly linearly correlated with ionic potentials of metals, leading to a single straight line. Metals with multiple d electrons in the outermost orbit with polarizing energy that promotes hydrolysis sat slightly below the line, and vice versa.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (2,2-bis[4-hydroxyphenyl]propane, BPA), the monomer used to produce polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, is weakly estrogenic and therefore of environmental and human health interest. Due to the high production volumes and disposal of products made from BPA, polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, BPA has entered terrestrial and aquatic environments. In the presence of oxygen, diverse taxa of bacteria, fungi, algae and even higher plants metabolize BPA, but anaerobic microbial degradation has not been documented. Recent reports demonstrated that abiotic processes mediate BPA transformation and mineralization in the absence of oxygen, indicating that BPA is susceptible to degradation under anoxic conditions. This review summarizes biological and nonbiological processes that lead to BPA transformation and degradation, and identifies research needs to advance predictive understanding of the longevity of BPA and its transformation products in environmental systems.
