Wang C, Kuzyakov Y. Soil organic matter priming: The pH effects. GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY 2024; 30:e17349.

Abstract
Priming of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition by microorganisms is a key phenomenon of global carbon (C) cycling. Soil pH is a main factor defining priming effects (PEs) because it (i) controls microbial community composition and activities, including enzyme activities, (ii) defines SOM stabilization and destabilization mechanisms, and (iii) regulates intensities of many biogeochemical processes. In this critical review, we focus on prerequisites and mechanisms of PE depending on pH and assess the global change consequences for PE. The highest PEs were common in soils with pH between 5.5 and 7.5, whereas low molecular weight organic compounds triggered PE mainly in slightly acidic soils. Positive PEs up to 20 times of SOM decomposition before C input were common at pH around 6.5. Negative PEs were common at soil pH below 4.5 or above 7 reflecting a suboptimal environment for microorganisms and specific SOM stabilization mechanisms at low and high pH. Short-term soil acidification (in rhizosphere, after fertilizer application) affects PE by: mineral-SOM complexation, SOM oxidation by iron reduction, enzymatic depolymerization, and pH-dependent changes in nutrient availability. Biological processes of microbial metabolism shift over the short-term, whereas long-term microbial community adaptations to slow acidification are common. The nitrogen fertilization induced soil acidification and land use intensification strongly decrease pH and thus boost the PE. Concluding, soil pH is one of the strongest but up to now disregarded factors of PE, defining SOM decomposition through short-term metabolic adaptation of microbial groups and long-term shift of microbial communities.

Abstract
The widespread used organoarsenicals have drawn attention for decades due to their potential environment risks. In this study, a heterogeneous system of goethite/oxalate irradiated using UVA light (λ = 365 nm) was applied for the removal of ASA, a kind of organoarsenicals used in animal feeding operations as additives, from the aqueous phase through photodegradation. Results showed that the presence of 5 mM of oxalate significantly enhanced the photodegradation efficiency of ASA in the 0.1 g/L of goethite suspended system from 28 to ~100% within 180 min reaction at pH 5. Acid conditions favored the photoreaction rate, compared with neutral and basic conditions. This reaction process was also influenced by the initial concentration of oxalate and ASA. Furthermore, the mechanism study was conducted by quenching experiments and revealed the important roles of ·OH in the degradation of ASA in the goethite/oxalate/UVA system. By analyzing the reaction products, both inorganic arsenic (As(III) and As(V)) and ammonia were detected during the photodegradation of ASA. These findings help to gain a better understanding of the geochemical behavior of ASA in surface water and can also provide a potential treatment method for the organoarsenicals contaminated water.

Liang M, Guo H, Xiu W. Synergetic effects of Mn(II) production and site availability on arsenite oxidation and arsenate adsorption on birnessite in the presence of low molecular weight organic acids. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133061. [PMID: 38029590 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
Manganese oxides and organic acids are key factors affecting arsenic mobility, but As(III) oxidation and adsorption in the coexistence of birnessite and low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) are poorly understood. Herein, As(III) immobilization by birnessite was investigated with/without LMWOAs (including tartaric (TA), malate (MA), and succinic acids (SA) with two, one and zero hydroxyl groups, respectively). In the low-As(III) system with less Mn(II) production, LMWOAs generally inhibited As(III) oxidation. The slower decrease in As(III) concentration in TA-amended batches resulted from stronger bonding interaction between TA and edge sites, evidenced by higher removal of TA than MA and SA in solutions and the higher proportion of shifted C-OH component in solids. In high-As(III) systems with abundant Mn(II) production, higher concentrations of dissolved Mn and Mn(III) in LMWOA-amended batches than in LMWOA-free batches revealed that LMWOA-induced complexing dissolution caused the release of adsorbed Mn(II), which was conducive to As(III) oxidation and As(V) adsorption onto the edge sites. The lowest concentrations of dissolved Mn and Mn(III) in TA-amended batches indicated that the hydroxyl group constrained complexing dissolution. This study reveals that concentrations of produced Mn(II) determined the roles of LMWOAs in As(III) behavior and highlights the impacts of the hydroxyl group on arsenic mobility.

Abstract
The urgent need to address the severe issue of nitrogen pollution has prompted the search for a functional and easy recycling material. In this study, manganese oxides (MnOx) were loaded on activated carbon (AC), resulting in a composite known as AC-MnOx, for efficient ammonium removal from aqueous solutions. The results indicated a remarkable 15.6-fold increase in ammonium removal efficiency and a fivefold enhancement in removal capacity for AC-MnOx (3.20 mg/g) compared to AC. Under specific conditions (initial NH4+-N concentration of 15 mg/L, adsorbent dose of 2.5 g, pH of 6.5, and temperature of 35 ℃), the highest achieved ammonium removal efficiency reached 94.6%. Furthermore, the study distinguishes the contributions of catalytic oxidation and adsorption in the removal process. The adsorption process was effectively modeled using pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm models. Interestingly, the amount of oxidation conversion (Ntur) exhibited a linear relationship with the dosage when the initial ammonium concentration was sufficiently high, while the relationship between initial ammonium concentration and the ratio of Ntur to adsorption capacity (Nsur) followed a negative exponential trend. The removal mechanisms involved electrostatic interaction between ammonium and the negatively charged dehydrogenated hydroxyl groups (- OHsur) or cation tunnel in crystal structures of MnOx, ion exchange adsorption, and the oxidation impact of MnOx. This research provides valuable insights into the application of immobilized MnOx media for ammonium removal. Moreover, filling AC-MnOx into constructed wetlands (CW) proved to be an effective method for reducing ammonium pollution, demonstrating its potential in the field of engineering wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic heavy metal and has been widely concerned for its hazardous environmental impact. Aromatic organic arsenic (AOCs) has been frequently used as an animal supplement to enhance feed utilization and prevent dysentery. The majority of organic arsenic could be discharged from the body and evolve as highly toxic inorganic arsenic that is hazardous to the environment and human health via biological conversion, photodegradation, and photo-oxidation. Current environmental issues necessitate the development and application of multifunctional porous materials in environmental remediation. Compared to the conventional adsorbent, such as activated carbon and zeolite, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit a number of advantages, including simple synthesis, wide variety, simple modulation of pore size, large specific surface area, excellent chemical stability, and easy modification. In recent years, numerous scientists have investigated MOFs related materials involved with organic arsenic. These studies can be divided into three categories: detection of organic arsenic by MOFs, adsorption to remove organic arsenic by MOFs, and catalytic removal of organic arsenic by MOFs. Here, we conduct a critical analysis of current research findings and knowledge pertaining to the structural characteristics, application methods, removal properties, interaction mechanisms, and spectral analysis of MOFs. We summarized the application of MOFs in organic arsenic detection, adsorption, and catalytic degradation. Other arsenic removal technologies and conventional substances are also being investigated. This review will provide relevant scientific researchers with references.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is a critical element in soils, essential to plant growth. Long-term and intensively managed Lei bamboo (Phyllostachys violascens) stands are usually subjected to severe soil acidification and Mn activation. However, Mn migration from topsoil to deep soil induced by severe soil acidification was poorly recognized and studied. The distribution and changes of the total and the operationally defined Mn forms in soil profiles and its potential stress and environmental effect were investigated in a chronosequence of Lei bamboo stands (0, 2, 6, 11, and 16 years of stand age). The results showed that the Mn amount was significantly decreased in topsoil and accumulated in subsoil with the long-term and intensive fertilizer application. Soil exchangeable Mn and superphosphate extractable Mn demonstrated large different variation to total Mn, whereas their sum was largely higher than and highly correlated with 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQN) extractable Mn. Soil organic carbon, pH value, exchangeable bases, and soil redox simultaneously controlled soil Mn depletion. In conclusion, long-term and intensive fertilizer application leads to soil acidification and accelerated soil Mn depletion in bamboo stand soil, promoting Mn accumulation in bamboo shoots.

Abstract
Efficient removal of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid from contaminated water sources is essential to mitigate arsenic pollution. We proposed a competent technique to achieve 4-aminophenylarsonic acid removal via adsorption on enhanced α-FeOOH using various concentrations of Mn(VII). The elimination rate of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid applying FeOOH with Mn(VII) was dependent on acidic conditions. More than 99.9% of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid was eliminated in a 6-min reaction time under acidic conditions. The reaction of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid was fast at 4.0 and 5.0 pH, with its complete oxidation into arsenate and the liberation of manganese Mn(II) in the initial stage of the reaction. Similarly, the reaction rate constant (kobs) decreased from 0.7048 ± 0.02 to 0.00155 ± 0.00007 as the pH increased from 4.0 to 9.0. Oxidation capacity was considerably enhanced via the removal of electrons from 4-aminophenylarsonic acid to Mn(VII) after the creation of its radical intermediate and further change in Mn(III) to Mn(II) in the solution. The results showed that Mn(VII) played a crucial role in 4-aminophenylarsonic acid degradation at a low pH (e.g., 4.0), and the oxidation process proceeded in different manners, namely, electron transfer, hydroxylation, and ring-opening. These results illustrated that Mn(VII) is an effective, economic purification process to mitigate 4-aminophenylarsonic acid generated from poultry waste.

Abstract
Recent investigations have shown that the addition of manganese (Mn) sand to constructed wetlands (i.e., Mn-amended CWs) can improve the performance of organic micropollutants (MPs) removal. In addition to the direct oxidation and adsorption of Mn oxides, the indirect role of Mn oxides in MP biotransformation is crucial to the removal of MPs but has seldom been referred to. Herein, we constructed lab-scale CWs with or without the addition of natural Mn sand (∼35% Mn oxides) to decipher the influence of Mn oxides on the biotransformation of the six selected MPs which commonly existed in the wastewater. The experimental results showed that the addition of Mn sand to CWs can improve the removal of MPs (8.48% atrazine, 13.16% atenolol, and 6.27% sulfamethoxazole [pairwise Wilcoxon test p < 0.05]). Combining the detection of transformation products and metagenomic sequencing, we found that the enhanced removal of atrazine in the Mn-amended CWs was mainly due to the bioaugmented hydroxylation process. The enrichment of biotransformation-related genes and associated microbes of atenolol and sulfamethoxazole in Mn-amended CWs indicated that the addition of Mn sand to CWs can strengthen the biotransformation of MPs. Furthermore, we found that these MP-biodegrading microbes were widely present in the full-scale CWs. Overall, our research provides fundamental information and insights for further application of Mn-amended CWs in MP removal.

Abstract
Water pollutants, such as nitrate and organics have received much attention for their harms to ecological environment and human health. The redox transformation between Mn(Ⅱ) and Mn(Ⅳ) for nitrogen and organics removal have been recognized for a long time. Mn(Ⅱ) can act as inorganic electron donor to drive autotrophic denitrification so as to realize simultaneous removal of Mn(Ⅱ), nitrate and organic pollutants. Mn oxides (MnOx) also play an important role in the adsorption and degradation of some organic contaminants and they can change or create new oxidation pathways in the nitrogen cycle. Herein, this paper provides a comprehensive review of nitrogen and organic contaminants removal pathways through applying Mn(Ⅱ) or MnOx as forerunners. The main current knowledge, developments and applications, pollutants removal efficiency, as well as microbiology and biochemistry mechanisms are summarized. Also reviewed the effects of factors such as the carbon source, the environmental factors and operation conditions have on the process. Research gaps and application potential are further proposed and discussed. Overall, Mn-based biotechnology towards advanced wastewater treatment has a promising prospect, which can achieve simultaneous removal of nitrogen and organic contaminants, and minimize sludge production.

Abstract
Exceeding the permitted manganese (Mn2+) and ammonium (NH4+-N) levels is a frequent seasonal occurrence in a water treatment plant in south China. An iron Fe-Mn complex oxide film was found capable of removing more than 95% of Mn2+ and NH4+-N at a water temperature of 20 °C and an alkalinity level of 30 mg/L. It could remove up to 5.5 mg/L of Mn2+ and up to 3.5 mg/L of NH4+-N in a stable manner. Alkalinity is a crucial factor in the removal process. The morphology, elemental composition, and micro-structure of the oxide film were investigated using a scanning electron microscope, an energy-dispersive spectrometer, a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface-area analyzer, an X-ray diffractometer, and a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer. The capacity of the Fe-Mn complex oxide film on the surface of the filter medium increased appreciably as its content and specific surface area increased. This research, which provides a theoretical basis for simultaneous manganese and NH4+-N removal by catalytic oxidation, demonstrates an engineering reference value.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:135821. [PMID: 35944687 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are substantial wastewater pollutants emitted mostly by petroleum refineries and petrochemical industries, and their environmental fate has been of increasing concern among the public. Consequently, subsurface flow constructed wetlands (SFCWs) filled with Mn oxides (W-CW) or without Mn oxides (K-CW) were established to investigate the performance and mechanisms of pyrene (PYR) removal. The average removal rates of PYR in W-CW and K-CW were 96.00% and 92.33%, respectively. The PYR removal via other pathways (microbial degradation, photolysis, volatilisation, etc.) occupied a sizeable proportion, while the total PYR content in K-CW plant roots was significantly higher than that of W-CW. The microorganisms on the root surface and rhizosphere played an important role in PYR degradation in W-CW and K-CW and were higher in W-CW than that in K-CW in all matrix zones. The microorganisms between the 10-16 cm zone from the bottom of W-CW filled with Mn oxides (W-16) were positively correlated with PYR-degrading microorganisms, aerobic bacteria and facultative anaerobes, whereas K-16 without birnessite-coated sand was negatively correlated with these microorganisms.

Abstract
Phenylarsonics are present as additives in animal feed in some countries. As only a small fraction of these additives is metabolized in animals, they mostly end up in the environment. A comprehensive investigation of the fate of these additives is crucial for evaluating their risks. This review aims to provide a clear understanding of the transformation mechanism of phenylarsonics in vivo and in vitro and to evaluate their fate and associated risks. Degradation of phenylarsonics releases toxic As species (mainly as inorganic arsenic (iAs)). Trivalent phenylarsonics are the metabolites or biotic degradation intermediates of phenylarsonics. The cleavage of As groups from trivalent phenylarsonics catalyzed by C-As lyase or other unknown pathways generates arsenite (As(III)). As(III) can be further oxidized to arsenate (As(V)) and methylated to methyl-arsenic species. The half-lives associated with abiotic degradation of phenylarsonics ranged from a few minutes to tens of hours, while those associated with biotic degradation ranged from several days to hundreds of days. Abiotic degradation resulted in a higher yield of iAs than biotic degradation. The use of phenylarsonics led to elevated total As and iAs levels in animal products and environmental matrices, resulting in As exposure risk to humans. The oxidation of phenylarsonics to As(V) facilitated the sorptive removal of As, which provides a general approach for treating these compounds. This review provides solid evidence that the use of phenylarsonics has adverse effects on both human health and environmental safety, and therefore, supports their withdrawal from the global market.

Abstract
Combined pollution caused by organic pollutants and heavy metals pose a significant challenge to the adsorption process. In this study, iron-modified biochar (Fe-BC) was prepared by using ferrate (K2FeO4) and wheat stalk as the precursors for the adsorption of copper (Cu2+) and sulfadiazine (SDZ), especially under combined pollution scenarios. Iron modification not only enlarged the surface area but also loaded iron oxide nanoparticles on biochar surface. Accordingly, Fe-BC exhibited better adsorption capability of Cu2+ and SDZ than the pristine biochar (BC). The corresponding maximum adsorption capacities of Fe-BC700 were 46.85 mg g-1 and 45.43 mg g-1 towards Cu2+ and SDZ, respectively. Interestingly, the adsorption was elevated in binary-pollutants system, suggesting a synergistic effect, which was probably attributed to the mutual bridging effects and complexation between Cu2+ and SDZ. The loaded iron oxide particles could serve as a physical barrier to separate the adsorptions of Cu2+ and SDZ and thus inhibited the competitive adsorption. Meanwhile, theoretical calculation demonstrated that sulfonamide group was the most probable binding site. Columns packed with Fe-BC700 showed better performances for Cu2+ and SDZ removal in binary system (635.73 BV for Cu2+ and 4846.26 BV for SDZ) than in single systems (571.60 BV for Cu2+ and 3572.06 BV for SDZ), which was consistent with batch adsorption experiments. These results demonstrated the potential application of Fe-BC700 for simultaneous adsorption of Cu2+ and SDZ and provided a cost-effective way for the remediation of organic and inorganic pollutants.

Abstract
Organoarsenic contaminants existing in water body threat human health and ecological environment due to insufficient bifunctional treatment technologies for organoarsenic degradation and inorganic arsenic immobilization. In order to safely and efficiently treat organoarsenic contaminants discharged into the aquatic environment, Co-Mn-Fe layered double hydroxide (CoMnFe-LDH) and Co-Mn-Fe layered double oxide (CoMnFe-LDO) were fabricated and employed as peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator for organoarsenic degradation and inorganic arsenic immobilization, and p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) was selected as target pollutant. Results demonstrated that the satisfactory removal of p-ASA (100.0%) in both CoMnFe-LDH/PMS and CoMnFe-LDO/PMS systems was obtained within 30 min, and substantial inorganic arsenic adsorption could be achieved (below 0.5 mg/L) in two systems with converting major inorganic arsenic species to arsenate. As XPS, ESR and quenching experiment revealed, the existence and generation of surface-bound radicals in two systems were identified. Based on density functional theory calculation and XPS analysis, the catalytic mechanism of CoMnFe-LDO/PMS system that PMS could be activated via direct electron transfer from adsorbed p-ASA was clarified, which differed from PMS activation via coupling with surface hydroxyl groups in CoMnFe-LDH/PMS system. Catalytic performance assessment under various critical operation parameters indicated that CoMnFe-LDH presented more stable ability of p-ASA removal in a wide pH range and complex aquatic environment. The recycle experiment demonstrated the excellent stability and reusability of CoMnFe-LDH(LDO). Besides, seven degradation products of p-ASA in CoMnFe-LDH/PMS system including phenolic compounds, azophenylarsonic acid, nitrobenzene and benzoquinne were identified by UV-Vis spectra and LC-TOF-MS analysis, and the corresponding degradation pathway was proposed. In summary, compared to CoMnFe-LDO/PMS, CoMnFe-LDH/PMS holds great promise for the development of an oxidation-adsorption process for efficient control of organoarsenic pollutant.

Abstract
The long term exposure of arsenic via drinking water has resulted in wide occurrence of arsenisim globally, and the oxidation of the non-ionic arsenite (As(III)) to negatively-charged arsenate (As(V)) is of crucial importance for the promising removal of arsenic. The chemical oxidants of ozone, chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and potassium permanganate may achieve this goal; however, their application in developing countries is sometimes restricted by the complicate operation and high cost. This review paper focuses on the heterogeneous oxidation of As(III) by solid oxidants such as manganese oxide, and the adsorption of As(V) accordingly. Manganese oxide may be prepared by both chemical and biological methods to achieve good oxidation performance towards As(III). Additionally, manganese oxide may be combined with other metal oxides, e.g., iron oxide, to improve the adsorption capability towards As(V). Furthermore, manganese oxide may be coated onto porous materials of metal organic frameworks to develop novel adsorbents for arsenic removal. To achieve the application in engineering works, the adsorbents granulation may be achieved by drying and calcination, agglomeration, and the active components may also be in situ coated onto the porous materials to maintain the oxidation and adsorption activities as much as possible. The novel adsorbents with heterogeneous oxidation and adsorption capability may be carefully designed for the removal of arsenic in household purifiers, community-level decentralized small systems, and the large-scale drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). This review provides insight into the fundamental studies on novel adsorbents, the development of innovative technologies, and the demonstration engineering works involved in the heterogeneous oxidation and adsorption, and may be practically valuable for the arsenic pollution control globally.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is a biologically important and redox-active metal that may exert a poorly recognized control on carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Manganese influences ecosystem C dynamics by mediating biochemical pathways that include photosynthesis, serving as a reactive intermediate in the breakdown of organic molecules, and binding and/or oxidizing organic molecules through organo-mineral associations. However, the potential for Mn to influence ecosystem C storage remains unresolved. Although substantial research has demonstrated the ability of Fe- and Al-oxides to stabilize organic matter, there is a scarcity of similar information regarding Mn-oxides. Furthermore, Mn-mediated reactions regulate important litter decomposition pathways, but these processes are poorly constrained across diverse ecosystems. Here, we discuss the ecological roles of Mn in terrestrial environments and synthesize existing knowledge on the multiple pathways by which biogeochemical Mn and C cycling intersect. We demonstrate that Mn has a high potential to degrade organic molecules through abiotic and microbially mediated oxidation and to stabilize organic molecules, at least temporarily, through organo-mineral associations. We outline research priorities needed to advance understanding of Mn-C interactions, highlighting knowledge gaps that may address key uncertainties in soil C predictions.

Abstract
A novel catalyst (MT/EMR) used for SR-AOPs with high removal efficiency toward roxarsone (ROX) (90.96% within 60 min) was prepared for the first time by ball milling multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with electrolytic manganese residue (EMR). The incorporation of MWCNTs could improve the adsorption capacity and accelerate the transformation of metals in EMR with partial mass loss to facilitate the PDS activation. Additionally, pH test, quenching experiment and electrochemical test verified a two-electron pathway involving surface activated-complex contributed to the directly ROX oxidization. Benefit from the introduction of MWCNTs, the degradation rate (kobs) of catalytic reaction was increased by 10.1 times compared with that of single-EMR. Additionally, the M-O-C (M=Fe or Mn) bonds in MT/EMR making the catalyst more stable than EMR. This work provided a novel and effective strategy to establish waste solid-based catalysts for green preparation and expanded the adsorption-oxidation technology to solve the problem of organoarsenic pollution.

Abstract
To solve the problem of organic and inorganic arsenic species contamination in drinking water and/or wastewater, porous biochar-supported MnFe2O4 magnetic nanocomposite (BC-MF) was successfully fabricated and used as an excellent adsorbent for simultaneous removal of p-ASA and As(V) from water environment. This obtained BC-MF displayed remarkable adsorption performance for both p-ASA and As(V) removal at acidic and neutral pH (3-7), and di-anionic and mono-anionic species of p-ASA and As(V) facilitated the adsorption process. Specifically, BC-MF exceeded some reported adsorbents, and the adsorption capacities of p-ASA and As(V) were approximately 105 and 90 mg/g at a 10 μg/L equilibrium concentration. Satisfactory adsorption behavior including adsorption isotherms, competitive ions, humic acid (HA), and regeneration/reusability property in single and binary systems demonstrated the BC-MF can improve the potential application for arsenic-containing wastewater remediation. Proposed adsorption mechanism indicated that electrostatic interaction and surface complexation were involved the p-ASA and As(V) immobilization, whereas hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions may also contribute to the p-ASA removal. Additionally, the prominent sequestration p-ASA and As(V) performance in different water matrix and fixed-bed column studies indicated that BC-MF was a promising nanocomposite for simultaneously removal of organic and inorganic arsenic species in practical wastewater treatment.

Abstract
As one of the extensively used feed additives in livestock and poultry breeding, p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) has become an organoarsenic pollutant with great concern. For the efficient removal of p-ASA from water, the combination of chemical oxidation and adsorption is recognized as a promising process. Herein, hollow/porous Mn-Fe-mixed oxide (MnFeO) nanocubes were synthesized and used in coupling with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to oxidize p-ASA and remove the total arsenic (As). Under acidic conditions, both p-ASA and total As could be completely removed in the PMS/MnFeO process and the overall performance was substantially better than that of the Mn/Fe monometallic system. More importantly, an interface-promoted direct oxidation mechanism was found in the p-ASA-involved PMS/MnFeO system. Rather than activate PMS to generate reactive oxygen species (i.e., SO4·-, ·OH, and 1O2), the MnFeO nanocubes first adsorbed p-ASA to form a ligand-oxide interface, which improved the oxidation of the adsorbed p-ASA by PMS and ultimately enhanced the removal of the total As. Such a direct oxidation process achieved selective oxidation of p-ASA and avoidance of severe interference from the commonly present constituents in real water samples. After facile elution with dilute alkali solution, the used MnFeO nanocubes exhibited superior recyclability in the repeated p-ASA removal experiments. Therefore, this work provides a promising approach for efficient abatement of phenylarsenical-caused water pollution based on the PMS/MnFeO oxidation process.

Abstract
Adsorption and desorption of p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) and roxarsone (ROX) on six soil minerals, including hematite (α-Fe2O3), goethite (α-FeOOH), ferrihydrite (Fe(OH)3), aluminum oxide (α-Al2O3), manganese oxide (γ-MnO2), and kaolinite, were studied, and the impact of solution matrices on their adsorption was systematically evaluated. Adsorption of p-ASA/ROX on the metal (hydro)oxide and clay minerals occurred quickly (mostly within 2 h), and could be well described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The apparent maximum adsorption capacities of α-Fe2O3, α-FeOOH, Fe(OH)3, α-Al2O3, γ-MnO2, and kaolinite (at an initial pH of 7.0) for p-ASA were 1.7, 0.9, 2.5, 0.08, 1.1, and 0.02 μmol/m2, while those for ROX were 1.6, 0.7, 2.4, 0.1, 0.5, and 0.05 μmol/m2, respectively. Besides adsorbing p-ASA/ROX, γ-MnO2 also caused their oxidation. Experimental results suggest that formation of inner-sphere complexes through the arsonic acid group is the primary mechanism for adsorption of p-ASA/ROX on iron (hydro)oxides and γ-MnO2, while outer-sphere complexation plays a critical role in their adsorption on α-Al2O3 and kaolinite. Adsorption of p-ASA/ROX on the metal (hydro)oxide and clay minerals was affected by solution pH, co-existing metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, Al3+, Cu2+, Fe3+, and Zn2+), oxyanions (H2PO4-, HCO3-, and SO42-), and humic acid. The solid-to-liquid partition coefficients of p-ASA during the desorption from α-Fe2O3, α-FeOOH, Fe(OH)3, α-Al2O3, γ-MnO2, and kaolinite were 0.47, 2.69, 4.38, 0.03, 30.4, and 0.1 L/g, while those of ROX were 0.28, 1.68, 3.48, 0.02, 4.0, and 0.02 L/g, respectively. Agricultural soils with lower contents of organic carbon exhibited higher adsorption capacities towards p-ASA/ROX, which indicates that soil minerals play a key role in the adsorption of phenylarsonic acid compounds while organic matter could have strong inhibitory effect. These findings could help better understand and predict the transport and fate of p-ASA/ROX in surface soils with low contents of organic matter.

Abstract
This study explored the aggregation kinetics of manganese oxides (MnOx) nanoparticles in Al(III) electrolyte solutions. This is a common process in both water treatments and the natural environment. The results show that aggregation kinetics are Al(III) species-dependent. Without natural organic matters (NOM), ferron Ala (monomeric Al(III)) and ferron Alb (polymeric Al(III)) are the main species controlling the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) type aggregation behavior of MnOx at pH 5.0 and 7.2, respectively. Ala and Alb can neutralize and reverse the negative charge of MnOx. Correspondingly, the attachment efficiency as a function of Al(III) concentrations contains three stages: destabilization, diffusion-limited, and re-stabilization stage. Interestingly, due to the tiny size of Alb nanoclusters, they behave similar to free ions and do not induce heteroaggregation at pH 7.2. The influence of some model NOM (i.e., bovine serum albumin (BSA), Sigma humic acid (HA), and alginate) was also studied. At pH 5.0, alginate polymers, while Sigma HA and BSA cannot be, are linked by Al(III) to form alginate gel clusters which bridge MnOx nanoparticles, and thus induce bridging flocculation. At pH 7.2, NOM induce the aggregation of Alb nanoclusters to form NOM-Al(III) aggregates through charge neutralization effects. Consequently, highly enhanced aggregation rate, due to the heteroaggregation between these aggregates and MnOx, was observed.

Abstract
In this study, magnetic material based reduced graphene oxide (M-rGO) was prepared through co-precipitation and displayed high catalytic efficiency together with persulfate (PS) for simultaneous p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) decomposition and arsenic removal. Linear sweep voltammetry and chronoamperometric measurements with M-rGO revealed that PS was effectively bound to M-rGO surface and probably formed charge transfer complex, in which M-rGO was pivotal in mediating facile electron transfer. The effects of pH, temperatures, anions, p-ASA concentration, PS, and M-rGO dosages on p-ASA decomposition were studied in the system. Excellent degradation of p-ASA was carried out at a wide range of pH values, which was unattainable by other Fenton-like processes. Under optimal conditions, M-rGO exhibited prominent removal of both p-ASA (98.8 %) and inorganic arsenic (89.8 %). M-rGO had reasonably excellent repeatability and stability, and 77.7 % p-ASA degraded in the third recovered catalyst. The advantages of environmental friendliness, short reaction time, and straightforward synthesis of M-rGO will facilitate the development of heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts under neutral conditions.

Abstract
In this study, resin-based hydrated iron oxide (HFOR) composites were prepared and used as a functional adsorbent for the simultaneous removal of p-Arsanilic acid (p-ASA) and arsenate (As (V)). The effects of solution pH and coexisting substances on the adsorption of different arsenic species were also investigated. Results showed that the coexisting substances slightly affected the adsorption process of two arsenic species. Analysis of the adsorption behavior, isotherm equilibrium, and adsorption kinetics, as well as that results of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, zeta potential, and other analytical methods revealed that the satisfactory adsorption performance of HFOR can be attributed to the electrostatic interactions induced by the positively charged groups and the coordination of the hydrated iron oxide nanoparticles, which exhibited excellent specific adsorption for both arsenic species. Moreover, HFOR showed high acid and alkali resistance and reusability, as well as a constant co-removal performance for different arsenic species in five consecutive operating cycles (55 mg As/g of As(V) and 18 mg/g of p-ASA). Results of continuous running fixed-bed column experiments confirmed that HFOR enabled excellent simultaneous adsorption for p-ASA and As(V).

Abstract
para-arsanilic acid (p-ASA), as a major phenylarsonic feed additive, was used annually in many countries. Once it enters the water environment, p-ASA would be transformed into hypertoxic inorganic arsenic species, causing severe arsenic pollution. In this study, magnetic copper ferrite (CuFe2O4) was applied to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for p-ASA removal and synchronous control of the released inorganic arsenic species. Results showed that CuFe2O4/PMS system presented favorable oxidation ability and close to 85% of 10 mg/L p-ASA was eliminated under the condition of simultaneous dosing 0.2 g/L CuFe2O4 and 1 mM PMS. The rapid decomposition of p-ASA resulted from homogeneous PMS oxidation and the attack of reactive oxygen species (i.e., SO4-, HO and O2-), which was involved the heterogeneous PMS activation through the cycles between Fe(II)/Fe(III) and Cu(II)/Cu(I). Meanwhile, the released inorganic arsenic species during p-ASA degradation were found to be controllable via the adsorption on CuFe2O4 surface and metal hydroxyl groups played the crucial role. CuFe2O4/PMS system exhibited the stable and efficient performance within the broad range of pH 3.0-11.0. The existence of common anions (Cl-, NO3-, HCO3-, SO42-) and humic acid presented the slight inhibition for p-ASA degradation. The reduction of initial p-ASA concentration favored the p-ASA removal. Besides, the catalyst retained a favorable reactivity and stability even after four successive cycles and almost no metal leaching was observed. The rational degradation pathway was mainly involved in the cleavage of AsC bond, oxidation of amino group, substitution and oxidation of hydroxyl group. The transformation of arsenic species could be divided into the release of inorganic arsenic species, the oxidation of As(III) into As(V) and the adsorption of As(V) by CuFe2O4.

Abstract
Organoarsenicals remediation requires degrading organoarsenicals and simultaneously immobilizing the resulted inorganic arsenic, and is thus a great challenge. In this study, a simulated solar light driven Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle strategy was developed to degrade roxarsone and immobilize the generated inorganic arsenic via tuning the degree of Fe(III) hydrolysis. At pH values of 2.0 and 3.0, the hydrolysis of Fe(III) in the solution was suppressed to produce photoreactive Fe(III)-hydroxyl complexes, which could be excited by simulated solar light to generate OH for 85.3 % of roxarsone degradation into arsenate within 60 min. Density functional theory calculations suggested that Fe(OH)(H2O)52+ with lower energy separation gap was the most photoactive Fe(III)-hydroxyl complex for OH generation. With further increasing pH value to 6.0, the hydrolysis of Fe(III) was promoted to precipitate the arsenate for its immobilization, accompanying with the decrease of final iron ions and arsenate concentrations to 0.012 mmol L-1 and 58 μg L-1, respectively. Meanwhile, the undegraded roxarsone was also adsorbed by the precipitate, increasing the overall roxarsone removal efficiency to 99.0 %. This study offers a promising strategy for the efficient organoarsenicals treatment, and also sheds light on the dual effects of iron based materials in organic pollutants degradation and heavy metal ions immobilization.

WATER RESEARCH 2020; 177:115752. [PMID: 32283433 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2020.115752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2020] [Revised: 03/19/2020] [Accepted: 03/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
As a common animal feed additive, p-arsanilic acid (p-AsA) is thought to be excreted with little uptake and unchanged chemical structure, threatening the environment by potentially releasing more toxic inorganic arsenic. We herein investigated the removal of arsenic by in situ formed ferric (oxyhydr)oxides with the promotion of p-AsA degradation in Fe(II)/peroxydisulfate (PDS) system. Results showed that under acid conditions, p-AsA degraded very quickly and over 99% of p-AsA (5 μM) was degraded within 10 min at the optimal dosage of Fe(II) (100 μM) and PDS (150 μM) at pH 3, while less than 66.4% of arsenic was removed at pH 3-5. Higher pH (3-7) would inhibit the degradation of p-AsA but promote the arsenic removal. At pH 6-7, over 98.5% of total arsenic was removed, while the degradation efficiency of p-AsA was lower than 52.4%. HPLC-ICP-MS results indicated that the arsenic group was cleaved from p-AsA in the form of As(III) and then rapidly oxidized to As(V). FTIR and XPS analysis indicated that both As(V) products and residual p-AsA were bonded to ferric (oxyhydr)oxides via hydroxyl groups. Common cations (e.g., Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+) and anions such as Cl-, SO42-, CO32- had no significant influence on arsenic removal, while SiO32-, PO43- and HA inhibited the removal of total arsenic, mainly by affecting the zeta potential of iron particles. In summary, the Fe(II)/PDS process, as an efficient method for partial oxidation and simultaneous adsorption of p-AsA under near-neutral conditions, is expected to control the potential environmental risks of p-AsA.

Abstract
Roxarsone is a phenyl-substituted arsonic acid comprising both arsenate and benzene rings. Few adsorbents are designed for the effective capture of both the organic and inorganic moieties of ROX molecules. Herein, nano zerovalent iron (nZVI) particles were incorporated on the surface of sludge-based biochar (SBC) to fabricate a dual-affinity sorbent that attracts both the arsenate and benzene rings of ROX. The incorporation of nZVI particles significantly increased the binding affinity and sorption capacity for ROX molecules compared to pristine SBC and pure nZVI. The enhanced elimination of ROX molecules was ascribed to synergetic adsorption and degradation reactions, through π-π* electron donor/acceptor interactions, H-bonding, and As-O-Fe coordination. Among these, the predominate adsorption force was As-O-Fe coordination. During the sorption process, some ROX molecules were decomposed into inorganic arsenic and organic metabolites by the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during the early stages of the reaction. The degradation pathways of ROX were proposed according to the oxidation intermediates. This work provides a theoretical and experimental basis for the design of adsorbents according to the structure of the target pollutant.

Abstract
In this study, the adsorption of roxarsone (ROX) onto corncob-derived activated carbon (AC) was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Following this, the AC was comprehensively characterized by FT-IR, SEM, and EDS analysis. The results showed that the highest ROX adsorption efficiency of 304.34 mg/g was obtained at the contact time of 262 min, initial pH of 2.5, adsorbent dosage of 0.4 g/L, and initial concentration of 240 mg/L. Besides, it was found that the adsorption equilibrium data was fitted well to the Langmuir and Sips isotherm models. The thermodynamic parameters (e.g., ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS) revealed the spontaneous and exothermic nature of ROX adsorption. As indicated by pseudo second-order kinetics model, the adsorption of ROX onto AC could be achieved through the hydrogen bond, π-π adsorbate-adsorbent interaction, and electrostatic interaction between AC surface functional group and molecular species variations of ROX at different pH values. Overall, it can be concluded that corncob-derived AC is an alternative option for removing ROX from aqueous solution.

Abstract
Phenylarsonic acid compounds could be oxidized by manganese oxides in surface soils, resulting in quick release of inorganic arsenic. This study investigated the structure-reactivity relationships in the adsorption and oxidative degradation of six substituted phenylarsonic acids on the surface of a major type of manganese oxides, birnessite (δ-MnO2), using batch experiments conducted under acidic to neutral conditions. The initial adsorption rates of the substituted phenylarsonic acids on δ-MnO2 decreased in the order of phenylarsonic acid (PAA) > 4-aminophenylarsonic acid (p-ASA) ≈ 2-aminophenylarsonic acid (2-APAA) > 4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid (4-HPAA) > 2-nitrophenylarsonic acid (2-NPAA) > 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenylarsonic acid (ROX), which could be attributed to steric hindrance of the substituents and the hydrophobicity of these compounds. The oxidation rates of these structural analogues by δ-MnO2 decreased in the order of p-ASA ≈ 2-APAA > 4-HPAA > ROX, while 2-NPAA and PAA were nonreactive because of the lack of electron-donating substituents on their aromatic rings. The redox reactivity of these compounds agrees well with the electron density at C1, which is determined by the types and position of the substituents on the aromatic ring. Although cleavage of the arsonic acid group from the aromatic ring was the predominant transformation pathway, a range of adduct products also formed through cross-coupling of the radicals and radical substitution. The contribution of radical coupling and substitution in overall degradation decreased in the order of p-ASA > 2-APAA > 4-HPAA > ROX, which results from the varying reactivity and steric hindrance of the substituents. These insights could help better understand and predict the fate of substituted phenylarsonic acids in manganese oxide-rich surface soils and the associated environmental risk of arsenic pollution.

Abstract
In this study, a pilot-scale experimental filter system was used to investigate the effect of bicarbonate alkalinity on the activity of an Fe-Mn co-oxide for ammonium and manganese removal from surface water. The results showed that an increase in alkalinity to 150 mg/L (calculated as CaCO3) by the addition of NaHCO3 significantly promoted the activity of the Fe-Mn co-oxide. The ammonium and manganese removal efficiencies of the Fe-Mn co-oxide increased from 40% to 95% and 85% to 100%, respectively. After NaHCO3 was no longer added, the activity of the filter column remained. Moreover, pH (7.4-8.0) and temperature (12.0-16.0 °C) were not the main factors affecting the activity of the filter, and had no significant effect on the activity of the filter. Further characterization analysis of the Fe-Mn co-oxide filter film showed that after alkalinity was increased, the accumulation of aluminum on the filter media surface decreased from 3.55% to 0.16% and the oxide functional groups changed. This was due to the action of bicarbonate and the residual aluminum salt coagulant in the filter, which caused the loss of Al from the surface of the filter media and weakened the influence of the aluminum salt coagulant on the activity of the Fe-Mn co-oxide; hence, the activity was recovered.

Abstract
Micropollutants with high ecotoxicological risks are frequently detected in aquatic environments, which has aroused great concern in recent years. Humification is one of the most important natural detoxification processes of aquatic micropollutants, and the core reactions of this process are polymerization and coupling. During humification, micropollutants are incorporated into the macrostructures of humic substances and precipitated from aqueous systems into sediments. However, the similarities and differences among the polymerization/coupling pathways of micropollutants in different oxidative systems have not been systematically summarized in a review. This article reviews the current knowledge on the weak oxidation-induced spontaneous polymerization/coupling transformation of micropollutants. First, four typical weak oxidative conditions for the initiation of micropollutant polymerization reactions in aquatic environments are compared: enzymatic catalysis, biomimetic catalysis, metal oxide oxidation, and photo-initiated oxidation. Second, three major subsequent spontaneous transformation pathways of micropollutants are elucidated: radical polymerization, nucleophilic addition/substitution and cyclization. Different solution conditions are also summarized. Furthermore, the importance of toxicity evolution during the weak oxidation-induced coupling/polymerization of micropollutants is particularly emphasized. This review provides a new perspective for the transformation mechanism and pathways of micropollutants from aquatic systems into sediments and the atmosphere and offers theoretical support for developing micropollutant control technologies.

Abstract
Phenylarsonic feed additives were once widely used in poultry and swine production around the world, which brought significant and unnecessary health risk to consumers due to elevated residues of arsenic species in animal tissues. They also increased the risk to ecosystems via releases of inorganic arsenic through their environmental transformation. Out of concern for the negative impacts on human and ecosystem health, China, one of the world's largest poultry and swine producing countries, recently banned the use of phenylarsonic feed additives in food animal production. This ban, if fully enforced, will result in reduction of approximately 1160 cancer cases per year from the consumption of chicken meat alone, and avoid an annual economic loss of nearly 0.6 billion CNY according to our risk analysis. Furthermore, the inventory of anthropogenic arsenic emissions in China will be cut by approximately one-third with the phase-out of phenylarsonic feed additives. This ban is also expected to lead to significant reduction in the accumulation of arsenic in the soils of farmlands fertilized by poultry and swine wastes and, consequently, lower the accumulation of arsenic in food crops grown on them, which could have even greater public health benefits. But effective enforcement of the ban is crucial, and it will require detailed supervision of veterinary drug production and distribution, and enhanced surveillance of animal feeds and food products. Furthermore, control of other major anthropogenic sources of arsenic is also necessary to better protect human health and the environment.

Abstract
At low temperature, plants wither and microbial activities decrease, leading to a decline in the pollutant-treatment performance of constructed wetlands (CWs). In this study, vertical flow CWs (VFCWs) with birnessite (Mn oxides)-coated sand (Mn-CWs) were developed to investigate the pollutant removal performance and mechanism in a cold climate. The results showed that the average removal efficiencies for NH4-N, NO3-N, TN, and TP were 73.81%, 90.66%, 82.44%, and 57.89% in Mn-CWs, respectively, while the average removal efficiencies for NH4-N, NO3-N, TN, and TP were 29.07%, 90.40%, 62.80%, and 26.32% in the control, respectively. Mn-CWs enhanced microbial denitrification and matrix storage, as well as inhibited P release in Mn-CWs at low temperature. According to GC-MS analysis of the organic compounds, the Mn-CWs matrix contained much more short-chain volatile organic compounds, such as carboxylic acid derivatives, while the control matrix had more ethyl acetate. The absolute quantities of bacterial 16S rRNA, amoA, narG, nirS, and nosZ were significantly higher than the control at 20 cm height from the bottom (p > 0.05). Illumina high-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the relative abundances of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria were both higher in Mn-CWs than that of the control. CWs filled with birnessite-coated sand represent an innovative approach for improving nutrient removal performance in cold climates through chemical absorption and microbial transformation.

Abstract
Roxarsone (ROX) is used in breeding industry to prevent infection by parasites, stimulate livestock growth and improve pigmentation of livestock meat. After being released into environment, ROX could be bio-degraded with the formation of carcinogenic inorganic arsenic (As) species. Here, ferrate oxidation of ROX was reported, in which we studied total-As removal, determined reaction kinetics, identified oxidation products, and proposed a reaction mechanism. It was found that the apparent second-order rate constant (kapp) of ferrate with ROX was 305 M-1s-1 at pH 7.0, 25 °C, and over 95% of total As was removed within 10 min when ferrate/ROX molar ratio was 20:1. Species-specific rate constants analysis showed that HFeO4- was the dominant species reacting with ROX. Ferrate initially attacked AsC bond of ROX and resulted in the formation of arsenate and 2-nitrohydroquinone. The arsenate was simultaneously removed by ferric nanoparticles formed in the reduction of ferrate, while 2-nitrohydroquinone was further oxidized into nitro-1,4-benzoquinone. These results suggest that ferrate treatment can be an effective method for the control of ROX in water treatment.

Abstract
Many investigations focused on the capacity of ferrate for the oxidation of organic pollutant or adsorption of hazardous species, while little attention has been paid on the effect of ferrate resultant nanoparticles for the removal of organics. Removing organics could improve microbiological stability of treated water and control the formation of disinfection byproducts in following treatment procedures. Herein, we studied ferrate oxidation of p-arsanilic acid ( p-ASA), an extensively used organoarsenic feed additive. p-ASA was oxidized into As(V), p-aminophenol ( p-AP), and nitarsone in the reaction process. The released As(V) could be eliminated by in situ formed ferric (oxyhydr) oxides through surface adsorption, while p-AP can be further oxidized into 4,4'-(diazene-1,2-diyl) diphenol, p-nitrophenol, and NO3-. Nitarsone is resistant to ferrate oxidation, but mostly adsorbed (>85%) by ferrate resultant ferric (oxyhydr) oxides. Ferrate oxidation (ferrate/ p-ASA = 20:1) eliminated 18% of total organic carbon (TOC), while ferrate resultant particles removed 40% of TOC in the system. TOC removal efficiency is 1.6 to 38 times higher in ferrate treatment group than those in O3, HClO, and permanganate treatment groups. Besides ferrate oxidation, adsorption of organic pollutants with ferrate resultant nanoparticles could also be an effective method for water treatment and environmental remediation.

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
Many researchers at home and abroad have made a body of researches and have gained great achievements on the environmental occurrence, fate, and toxicity of inorganic arsenic. But there is less research on the use of aromatic organoarsenic compounds (AOCs), which are common feed additives for livestock in the poultry industry. In this review, we outline the current state of knowledge acquired on the occurrence and remediation of AOCs, respectively. We also identify knowledge gaps and research needs, including the elucidation of the environmental fate of AOCs, metabolic pathway, the impact of metabolic modification on toxicity, and advanced analytical or repaired methods that allows for monitoring, identification or removal of the degradation products.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2017; 601-602:713-722. [PMID: 28577406 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.05.219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2017] [Revised: 05/11/2017] [Accepted: 05/16/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Para arsanilic acid (p-ASA) is extensively used as feed additives in poultry industry, resulting contaminates soil and natural water sources through the use of poultry litter as a fertilizer in croplands. Thus, removal of p-ASA prior to its entering environments is significant to control their environmental risk. Herein, we studied Fe-Mn framework and cubic Fe(OH)3 as promising novel adsorbents for the removal of p-ASA from aqueous solution. The chemical and micro-structural properties of Fe-Mn framework and cubic Fe(OH)3 materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), nitrogen adsorption (SBET), zeta (ζ-) potential, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The maximum adsorption capacity for p-ASA on Fe-Mn framework and cubic Fe(OH)3 was determined to be 1.3mmolg-1 and 0.72mmolg-1 at pH4.0, respectively. Adsorption of p-ASA decreased gradually with increasing pH indicated that adsorption was strongly pH dependent. Azophenylarsonic acid was identified as an oxidation intermediate product of p-ASA after adsorption on Fe-Mn framework. Plausible removal mechanism for p-ASA by Fe-Mn framework was proposed. The obtained results gain insight into the potential applicability of Fe-Mn framework, which can be potentially important for the removal of p-ASA from water.
