Abstract
Extensive research has been conducted on the utilization of a metal-based catalyst to activate peracetic acid (PAA) for the degradation of micropollutants (MPs) in water. Mn(II) is a commonly employed catalyst for homogeneous advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), but its catalytic performance with PAA is poor. This study showed that the environmentally friendly chelator ethylenediamine-N,N'-disuccinic acid (EDDS) could greatly facilitate the activation of Mn(II) in PAA for complete atrazine (ATZ) degradation. In this process, the EDDS enhanced the catalytic activity of manganese (Mn) and prevented disproportionation of transient Mn species, thus facilitating the decay of PAA and mineralization of ATZ. By employing electron spin resonance detection, quenching and probe tests, and 18O isotope-tracing experiments, the significance of high-valent Mn-oxo species (Mn(V)) in the Mn(II)-EDDS/PAA system was revealed. In particular, the involvement of the Mn(III) species was essential for the formation of Mn(V). Mn(III) species, along with singlet oxygen (1O2) and acetyl(per)oxyl radicals (CH3C(O)O•/CH3C(O)OO•), also contributed partially to ATZ degradation. Mass spectrometry and density functional theory methods were used to study the transformation pathway and mechanism of ATZ. The toxicity assessment of the oxidative products indicated that the toxicity of ATZ decreased after the degradation reaction. Moreover, the system exhibited excellent interference resistance toward various anions and humid acid (HA), and it could selectively degrade multiple MPs.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:133982.

Abstract
Enhancing Fe(VI) oxidation ability by generating high-valent iron-oxo species (Fe(IV)/Fe(V)) has attracted continuous interest. This work for the first time reports the efficient activation of Fe(VI) by a well-known aza-aromatic chelating agent 2,2'-bipyridyl (BPY) for micropollutant degradation. The presence of BPY increased the degradation constants of six model compounds (i.e., sulfamethoxazole (SMX), diclofenac (DCF), atenolol (ATL), flumequine (FLU), 4-chlorophenol (4-CP), carbamazepine (CBZ)) with Fe(VI) by 2 - 6 folds compared to those by Fe(VI) alone at pH 8.0. Lines of evidence indicated the dominant role of Fe(IV)/Fe(V) intermediates. Density functional theory calculations suggested that the binding of Fe(III) to one or two BPY molecules initiated the oxidation of Fe(III) to Fe(IV) by Fe(VI), while Fe(VI) was reduced to Fe(V). The increased exposures of Fe(IV)/Fe(V) were experimentally verified by the pre-generated Fe(III) complex with BPY and using methyl phenyl sulfoxide as the probe compound. The presence of chloride and bicarbonate slightly affected model compound degradation by Fe(VI) in the presence of BPY, while a negative effect of humic acid was obtained under the same conditions. This work demonstrates the potential of N-donor heterocyclic ligand to activate Fe(VI) for micropollutant degradation, which is instructive for the Fe(VI)-based oxidation processes.

WATER RESEARCH 2024; 253:121353. [PMID: 38401473 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Ozonation of wastewater containing bromide (Br-) forms highly toxic organic bromine. The effectiveness of ozonation in mitigating wastewater toxicity is minimal. Simultaneous application of ozone (O3) (5 mg/L) and ferrate(VI) (Fe(VI)) (10 mg-Fe/L) reduced cytotoxicity and genotoxicity towards mammalian cells by 39.8% and 71.1% (pH 7.0), respectively, when the wastewater has low levels of Br-. This enhanced reduction in toxicity can be attributed to increased production of reactive iron species Fe(IV)/Fe(V) and reactive oxygen species (•OH) that possess higher oxidizing ability. When wastewater contains 2 mg/L Br-, ozonation increased cytotoxicity and genotoxicity by 168%-180% and 150%-155%, respectively, primarily due to the formation of organic bromine. However, O3/Fe(VI) significantly (p < 0.05) suppressed both total organic bromine (TOBr), BrO3-, as well as their associated toxicity. Electron donating capacity (EDC) measurement and precursor inference using Orbitrap ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry found that Fe(IV)/Fe(V) and •OH enhanced EDC removal from precursors present in wastewater, inhibiting electrophilic substitution and electrophilic addition reactions that lead to organic bromine formation. Additionally, HOBr quenched by self-decomposition-produced H2O2 from Fe(VI) also inhibits TOBr formation along with its associated toxicity. The adsorption of Fe(III) flocs resulting from Fe(VI) decomposition contributes only minimally to reducing toxicity. Compared to ozonation alone, integration of Fe(VI) with O3 offers improved safety for treating wastewater with varying concentrations of Br-.

Abstract
I- is a halogen species existing in natural waters, and the transformation of organic and inorganic iodine in natural and artificial processes would impact the quality of drinking water. Herein, it was found that Fe(VI) could oxidize organic and inorganic iodine to IO3-and simultaneously remove the resulted IO3- through Fe(III) particles. For the river water, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent, and shale gas wastewater treated by 5 mg/L of Fe(VI) (as Fe), around 63 %, 55 % and 71 % of total iodine (total-I) had been removed within 10 min, respectively. Fe(VI) was superior to coagulants in removing organic and inorganic iodine from the source water. Adsorption kinetic analysis suggested that the equilibrium adsorption amount of I- and IO3- were 11 and 10.1 μg/mg, respectively, and the maximum adsorption capacity of IO3- by Fe(VI) resulted Fe(III) particles was as high as 514.7 μg/mg. The heterogeneous transformation of Fe(VI) into Fe(III) effectively improved the interaction probability of IO3- with iron species. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation suggested that the IO3- was mainly adsorbed in the cavity (between the γ-FeOOH shell and γ-Fe2O3 core) of Fe(III) particles through electrostatic adsorption, van der Waals force and hydrogen bond. Fe(VI) treatment is effective for inhibiting the formation of iodinated disinfection by-products in chlor(am)inated source water.

[PMID: 37812978 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) is regarded as an environmentally friendly oxidant because of its low formation of toxic byproducts. However, this study revealed the potential risk of generating disinfection byproducts (DBPs) when treating iodine-containing wastewater with PAA. The transformation efficiency of bisphenol A (BPA), a commonly detected phenolic contaminant and a surrogate for phenolic moieties in dissolved organic matter, by PAA increased rapidly in the presence of I-, which was primarily attributed to the formation of active iodine (HOI/I2) in the system. Kinetic model simulations demonstrated that the second-order rate constant between PAA and HOI was 54.0 M-1 s-1 at pH 7.0, which was lower than the generation rate of HOI via the reaction between PAA and I-. Therefore, HOI can combine with BPA to produce iodine disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs). The transformation of BPA and the generation of I-DBPs in the I-/PAA system were highly pH-dependent. Specifically, acidic conditions were more favorable for BPA degradation because of the higher reaction rates of BPA and HOI. More iodinated aromatic products were detected after 5 min of the reaction under acidic and neutral conditions, resulting in higher toxicity towards E. coli. After 12 h of the reaction, more adsorbable organic iodine (AOI) was generated at alkaline conditions because HOI was not able to efficiency transform to IO3-. The presence of H2O2 in the PAA solution played a role in the reaction with HOI, particularly under alkaline conditions. This study significantly advances the understanding of the role of I- in BPA oxidation by PAA and provides a warning to further evaluate the potential environmental risk during the treatment of iodine-bearing wastewater with PAA.

Abstract
Development of robust, reactive, and inexpensive catalyst for pollutants abatement with catalytic ozonation is of great significance. Herein, the effect of a robust and easy-recovery catalyst, Fe2O3/Al2O3-SiC, for the catalytic ozonation of hardly biodegradable COD (hard COD) in coking wastewater had been explored. Al-O-Si bond formed on modified SiC through the substitution of hydrogen in surficial Si-OH groups by Al3+. The Lewis acid sites improved the adsorption of ozone and facilitated the formation of ·OH and O2·-. For coking wastewater treatment, the removal ratio of hard COD and the generation speed of hydroxyl radical (Rct) in the catalytic ozonation process were 71% and 253% higher than those in the ozonation group, respectively. Ozone utilization increased from 0.44 g COD removed/g O3 in the ozonation group to 1.42 g COD removed/g O3 in the Fe2O3/Al2O3-SiC catalytic ozonation group. In a full-scale application, Fe2O3/Al2O3-SiC catalytic ozonation decreased the consumption of O3 to 60 mg L-1 and decreased the operation cost by 50%. These results provided an approachable way for sharing the extraordinary capacity of ozone for contaminants remediation in industrial applications.

Abstract
Toxic and odorous iodophenols are commonly identified as disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water. Herein, ng/L levels of iodophenols were identified in river water, wastewater treatment plant effluent, and medical wastewater, with the simultaneous identification of μg/L to mg/L levels of iodide (I-) and total organic iodine (TOI). Oxidation experiment suggested that the I-, TOI, and iodophenols could be oxidized by ferrate [Fe(VI)], and more than 97% of TOI had been transformed into stable and nontoxic IO3-. Fe(VI) initially cleaved the C-I bond of iodophenols and led to the deiodination of iodophenols. The resulted I- was swiftly oxidized into HOI and IO3-, with the intermediate phenolic products be further oxidized into lower molecular weight products. The Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) of the overall reaction was negative, indicating that the deiodination of iodophenols by Fe(VI) was spontaneous. In the disinfection of iodine-containing river water, ng/L levels of iodophenols and chloro-iodophenols formed in the reaction with NaClO/NH2Cl, while Fe(VI) preoxidation was effective for inhibiting the formation of iodinated DBPs. Fe(VI) exhibited multiple functions for oxidizing organic iodine, abating their acute toxicity/cytotoxicity and controlling the formation of iodinated DBPs for the treatment of iodide/organic iodine-containing waters.

Abstract
Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (eAOPs) such as the current advanced oxidation system (AOS) are a type of electrochemical wastewater treatment that creates oxidative species, such as iodide species, chloride species, and hydroxyl radicals, that can treat even the most recalcitrant contaminants. It is important to determine the concentrations and locations of oxidative species in eAOPs for optimization of the wastewater treatment process. In this study, a spectrophotometric methodology was used to determine concentrations of iodide and chloride oxidative species (starting at 10, 25, and 50 ppm) within an AOS under various input voltages (6, 12, and 24 V). Overall, it was found that iodate and chlorite were the dominant species created in their respective treatments. Additionally, the concentration of iodide oxidative species increased with increasing voltage, whereas the chloride species decreased with increasing voltage. The optimal conditions for the efficient creation of AOS oxidative species were 12 V and 10 ppm potassium iodide and 6 V and 10 ppm sodium chloride, respectively. In addition, the use of iodide is recommended for wastewater treatment using the AOS to effectively create oxidative species. Following optimization, the AOS performance was tested for synthetic stormwater. Results indicated that the AOS performed well for reduction of Escherichia coli; however, reduction of other contaminants was inconsistent as would be expected given the AOS was optimized for disinfection, not decontamination. Further AOS optimization for decontamination would be expected to result in improved decontamination performance.

MacKeown H, von Gunten U, Criquet J. Iodide sources in the aquatic environment and its fate during oxidative water treatment - A critical review. WATER RESEARCH 2022; 217:118417. [PMID: 35452971 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2022.118417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Iodine is a naturally-occurring halogen in natural waters generally present in concentrations between 0.5 and 100 µg L-1. During oxidative drinking water treatment, iodine-containing disinfection by-products (I-DBPs) can be formed. The formation of I-DBPs was mostly associated to taste and odor issues in the produced tap water but has become a potential health problem more recently due to the generally more toxic character of I-DBPs compared to their chlorinated and brominated analogues. This paper is a systematic and critical review on the reactivity of iodide and on the most common intermediate reactive iodine species HOI. The first step of oxidation of I- to HOI is rapid for most oxidants (apparent second-order rate constant, kapp > 103 M-1s-1 at pH 7). The reactivity of hypoiodous acid with inorganic and organic compounds appears to be intermediate between chlorine and bromine. The life times of HOI during oxidative treatment determines the extent of the formation of I-DBPs. Based on this assessment, chloramine, chlorine dioxide and permanganate are of the highest concern when treating iodide-containing waters. The conditions for the formation of iodo-organic compounds are also critically reviewed. From an evaluation of I-DBPs in more than 650 drinking waters, it can be concluded that one third show low levels of I-THMs (<1 µg L-1), and 18% exhibit concentrations > 10 µg L-1. The most frequently detected I-THM is CHCl2I followed by CHBrClI. More polar I-DBPs, iodoacetic acid in particular, have been reviewed as well. Finally, the transformation of iodide to iodate, a safe iodine-derived end-product, has been proposed to mitigate the formation of I-DBPs in drinking water processes. For this purpose a pre-oxidation step with either ozone or ferrate(VI) to completely oxidize iodide to iodate is an efficient process. Activated carbon has also been shown to be efficient in reducing I-DBPs during drinking water oxidation.

Abstract
Efforts are being made to tune the reactivity of the tetraoxy anion of iron in the +6 oxidation state (FeVIO42-), commonly called ferrate, to further enhance its applications in various environmental fields. This review critically examines the strategies to generate highly reactive high-valent iron intermediates, FeVO43- (FeV) and FeIVO44- or FeIVO32- (FeIV) species, from FeVIO42-, for the treatment of polluted water with greater efficiency. Approaches to produce FeV and FeIV species from FeVIO42- include additions of acid (e.g., HCl), metal ions (e.g., Fe(III)), and reductants (R). Details on applying various inorganic reductants (R) to generate FeV and FeIV from FeVIO42- via initial single electron-transfer (SET) and oxygen-atom transfer (OAT) to oxidize recalcitrant pollutants are presented. The common constituents of urine (e.g., carbonate, ammonia, and creatinine) and different solids (e.g., silica and hydrochar) were found to accelerate the oxidation of pharmaceuticals by FeVIO42-, with potential mechanisms provided. The challenges of providing direct evidence of the formation of FeV/FeIV species are discussed. Kinetic modeling and density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide opportunities to distinguish between the two intermediates (i.e., FeIV and FeV) in order to enhance oxidation reactions utilizing FeVIO42-. Further mechanistic elucidation of activated ferrate systems is vital to achieve high efficiency in oxidizing emerging pollutants in various aqueous streams.

Abstract
Iodinated disinfection by-products (DBPs) have been attracting great attention due to their potential high toxicity to human health. Understanding of formation mechanisms and transformation process of iodinated aromatic DBPs during the chlorination of iodide-containing water is crucial. Phenol was therefore chosen as a representative of phenolic compounds to investigate the generation of iodinated aromatic DBPs in a chlorine/phenol/iodide system. The presence of iodide in water could enhance the removal of phenol by chlorine due to higher second order rate constants of HOI with phenol than that of HOCl with phenol. Fourteen kinds of iodinated aromatic DBPs were identified, which were generated from oxidation and electrophilic substitution of phenol by HOCl and HOI. Iodinated phenolic DBPs were sources of iodinated quinone DBPs and chlorinated/iodinated phenolic DBPs. Alkaline condition favored the formation of iodinated phenolic DBPs, while acid condition favored the production of iodinated quinone DBPs. Neutral condition might be the most suitable pH condition to control the formation of iodinated aromatic DBPs. The relative concentration of almost all iodinated aromatic DBPs first increased and then decreased with time, indicating iodinated aromatic DBPs might be further converted into halogenated aliphatic DBPs during the chlorination. This research provides a research basis for the removal of phenol in water.

Abstract
The UV/monochloramine (UV/NH2Cl) process has attracted increasing attention in water treatment, in which hydroxyl radicals (HO•), reactive chlorine species (RCS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are produced. This study investigated the effects of water matrices including halides, natural organic matter (NOM), alkalinity and pH, on the degradation kinetic of a variety of micropollutants and radical chemistry in the UV/NH2Cl process. The presence of chloride blunted HO• and Cl• impacts, but enhanced Cl2•- effect on micropollutants reactive toward Cl2•-. The presence of 30 μM bromide led to an 82% decrease in the specific pseudo-first-order rate constants (k') by HO• (kHO•'), and significantly diminished RCS efficacy. Reactive bromine species (RBS) were formed in the presence of bromide, while the contribution could not compensate for the decrease of HO• and RCS due to their lower reactivity toward micropollutants. Iodide rapidly transformed to HOI via reacting with NH2Cl, which resulted in a 59% decrease of kHO•' and 12% ∼ 100% decreases of k' by reactive halogen species (RHS) and RNS (kRHS + RNS') for most micropollutants. Nevertheless, k' of phenolic compounds, such as paracetamol, bisphenol A and salbutamol, increased in the presence of iodide by 78%, 360% and 130%, respectively, due to the roles of HOI and reactive iodine species (RIS). Bicarbonate decreased the contributions of HO• and RCS, but enhanced that of CO3•- for micropollutants reactive toward CO3•-. The presence of 1 mg/L NOM scavenged over half the amount of HO•, and also consumed RCS and RNS, resulting in significantly decreased removal of micropollutants. High pH value witnessed enhanced degradation for those micropollutants reactive toward RCS and RNS through deprotonation. The degradation of most micropollutants was inhibited in real drinking water and in the coexistence of halides. This study provides a better understanding of radical chemistry in the UV/NH2Cl process under a practical water treatment condition.

Abstract
Iopamidol is a commonly used iodinated X-ray contrast media in medical field, and its residue in water can react with disinfectants to form highly toxic iodinated disinfection by-products (I-DBPs). This study investigated the degradation of iopamidol and formation of DBPs, especially iodinated trihalomethanes (I-THMs), during ferrate (Fe(VI)) pre-oxidation and subsequent chlor(am)ination under raw water background. It was found that iopamidol degradation efficiency in raw water by Fe(VI) at pH 9 could reach about 80%, which was much higher than that at pH 5 and pH 7 (both about 25%). With Fe(VI) dose increasing, iopamidol removal efficiency increased obviously. During the iopamidol degradation by Fe(VI), IO3- was the dominant product among all the iodine species. After pre-treated by Fe(VI), yields of THM4 and I-THMs can be reduced in subsequent chlor(am)ination. Besides, pH was a crucial factor for Fe(VI) pre-oxidition controlling DBPs. With the pH increasing from 5 to 9, the yield of THM4 kept increasing in subsequent chlorination but showed the highest amount at pH 6 in subsequent chloramination. The yield of I-THMs increased first and then decreased with the increase of pH in both subsequent chlorination and chloramination. I-THM concentrations in chlorinated samples were lower than chloraminated ones under acidic conditions but became higher under neutral and alkaline conditions. The total CTI of THMs during Fe(VI)-chloramination was higher than that during Fe(VI)-chlorination under neutral condition, but sharply decreased under alkaline conditions. In summary, Fe(VI)-chloramination subsequent treatment under alkaline conditions should be an effective method for iopamidol removal and DBP control.

Abstract
Highly toxic iodinated phenolic by-products were frequently detected in the oxidative treatment and disinfection of iodine-containing water. Herein, it was found that three model iodinated phenolic disinfection byproducts (DBPs), 2-iodophenol, 4-iodophenol and 2,4,6-triiodophenol, were reactive with HOCl, and the reaction rate constants (at pH 7.0 and 25℃) were 1.86 ×102, 1.62 ×102 and 7.5 ×101 M-1s-1, respectively. When HOCl was in excess (HOCl/iodophenol = 40/1, [iodophenol]0 = 20 μM), acute toxicity of water sample containing iodophenols could be largely eliminated (> 85%), with the conversion of iodophenols into stable and non-toxic iodate (IO3-) and iodinated and chlorinated aliphatic DBPs. Besides IO3-, seven kinds of aromatic intermediate products including iodophenols, chloroiodophenols, iodoquinones, chloroiodoquinones, chloroquinones, chlorophenols, and coupling products were detected. C-I bond of iodophenols was cleaved in the reaction and the resulted aromatic products were further transformed into chlorinated aliphatic DBPs [trichloromethane (TCM), trichloroacetic acid (TCAA), dichloroacetic acid (DCAA), and chloral hydrate (CH)] (mg/L level) and iodinated trihalomethanes (μg/L level). HOCl was effective for converting iodophenols into IO3- and less toxic chlorinated aliphatic DBPs. Considering that chlorine was widely used as disinfectant, transformation and toxicity alteration of emerging DBPs during chlorination/booster chlorination warrant further investigations.

Abstract
After reaction with permanganate or ferrate, the resulted Mn-loaded and Fe-loaded biochar (MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar) exhibited excellent catalytic ozonation activity. O3 (2.5 mg/L) eliminated 48% of atrazine (ATZ, 5 μM) within 30 min at pH 7.0, while under identical conditions, ozonation efficiency of ATZ increased to 83% and 100% in MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar (20 mg/L) heterogeneous catalytic systems, respectively. Radical scavenger experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis confirmed that hydroxyl radical (•OH) was the dominant oxidant. Total Lewis acid sites on MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar were 3.5 and 4.1 times of that on the raw biochar, which induced enhanced adsorption of O3 and its subsequent decomposition into •OH. Electron transfer via redox pairs on MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar was observed by cyclic voltammetry scans, which also functioned in the improved catalytic capacity. Degradation pathways of ATZ in MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar ozonation systems were proposed, with 34.6% and 44.8% of dechlorination effect accomplished within 30 min of reaction, which was improved by 4.1 and 5.3 times compared to pure ozonation. After 12-hour treatment, acute toxicity of ATZ oxidation products was reduced from 38.3% of pure ozonation system to 14.5% and 6.3% of activated ozonation systems with MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar, respectively. Mn-loaded biochar and Fe-loaded biochar have great potential for heterogeneous catalytic ozonation of polluted water.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 743:140805.

Abstract
Disinfection by-products (DBPs) generated by ballast water treatment pose a potential threat to marine environment which aroused widespread concern. In recent years, emerging iodinated DBPs have attracted widespread attention because of their stronger cytotoxicity and genotoxicity than brominated/chlorinated DBPs. In this study, the effects of different natural organic matter species, total residual oxidant (TRO) concentrations, storage time, temperature, pH, bromide and iodide concentrations on the generation of iodinated trihalomethanes (I-THMs) during ozonation process of ballast water were investigated. The results showed that bromochloroiodomethane and diiodochloromethane (DICM) were not detected under all conditions during ozonation of humaic acid (HA). Different kinds of precursors had a significantly effect on the formation of I-THMs. For algal cells as precursor, DICM were detected (1.22 μg/L), while DICM were not detected from oxidation of 1,3-etonedicarboxylic acid, fulvic acid (FA), phenol, resorcinol, hydroquinone and HA as precursors. The yields of I-THMs from oxidation of algal cells, FA and phenol were higher than other precursors. Linear relationships were observed between the formation of I-THMs and TRO concentrations. The yields of I-THMs reached a peak at 48 h (180 μg/L) after ozonation treatment of ballast water, and then decreased with storage time extension. An increase in temperature enhanced the formation of dibromoiodomethane and bromodiiodomethane, while wakened the formation of iodoform and dichloroiodomethane. The formation of I-THMs was complicatedly affected by different pH values in the range from 4 to 9. The more bromide concentrations, the more brominated I-THMs were formed. The concentrations of I-THMs increased with increasing iodide concentrations, and low concentrations of iodide had greater effect on the production of I-THMs than high concentrations of iodide.

Transformation of X-ray contrast media by conventional and advanced oxidation processes during water treatment: Efficiency, oxidation intermediates, and formation of iodinated byproducts. WATER RESEARCH 2020; 185:116234. [PMID: 32736280 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2020.116234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2020] [Revised: 07/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/24/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
X-ray contrast media (ICM), as the most widely used intravascular pharmaceuticals, have been frequently detected in various environmental compartments. ICM have attracted increasingly scientific interest owing to their role as an iodine contributor, resulting in the high risk of forming toxic iodinated byproducts (I-BPs) during water treatment. In this review, we present the state-of-the-art findings relating to the removal efficiency as well as oxidation intermediates of ICM by conventional and advanced oxidation processes. Moreover, formation of specific small-molecular I-BPs (e.g., iodoacetic acid and iodoform) during these processes is also summarized. Conventional oxidants and disinfectants including chlorine (HOCl) and chloramine (NH2Cl) have low reactivities towards ICM with HOCl being more reactive. Iodinated/deiodinated intermediates are generated from reactions of HOCl/NH2Cl with ICM, and they can be further transformed into small-molecular I-BPs. Types of disinfectants and ICM as well as solution conditions (e.g., presence of bromide (Br-) and natural organic matters (NOM)) display significant impact on formation of I-BPs during chlor(am)ination of ICM. Uncatalyzed advanced oxidation process (AOPs) involving ozone (O3) and ferrate (Fe(VI)) exhibit slow to mild reactivities towards ICM, usually leading to their incomplete removal under typical water treatment conditions. In contrast, UV photolysis and catalyzed AOPs including hydroxyl radical (HO•) and/or sulfate radical (SO4.-) based AOPs (e.g., UV/hydrogen peroxide, UV/persulfate, UV/peroxymonosulfate (PMS), and CuO/PMS) and reactive chlorine species (RCS) involved AOPs (e.g., UV/HOCl and UV/NH2Cl) can effectively eliminate ICM under various conditions. Components of water matrix (e.g., chloride (Cl-), Br-, bicarbonate (HCO3-), and NOM) have great impact on oxidation efficiency of ICM by catalyzed AOPs. Generally, similar intermediates are formed from ICM oxidation by UV photolysis and AOPs, mainly resulting from a series reactions of the side chain and/or C-I groups (e.g. cleavage, dealkylation, oxidation, and rearrange). Further oxidation or disinfection of these intermediates leads to formation of small-molecular I-BPs. Pre-oxidation of ICM-containing waters by AOPs tends to increase formation of I-BPs during post-disinfection process, while this trend also depends on the oxidation processes applied and solution conditions. This review summarizes the latest research findings relating to ICM transformation and (by)products formation during disinfection and AOPs in water treatment, which has great implications for the practical applications of these technologies.

Abstract
Biochar draws increasing attention as soil amendment, carbon sink, slow-release fertilizer, and adsorbent. Herein, it was interesting to find out that among 11 kinds of commercial biochar, 3 of them facilitated ferrate oxidation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). With the addition of biochar, oxidation rates of 5 kinds of organic pollutants (including antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care product) increased by 3-14 times, and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal ratio increased by 2.4-8 times. Radical scavenging experiment, electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis, and probe compound (sulfoxide) oxidation experiment showed that no radical but intermediate iron species [Fe(IV) and Fe(V)] participated in the oxidation reactions. Redox-active moieties (phenolic hydroxyl) on biochar interact with ferrate as electron shuttle and enhance the formation of intermediate iron species through electron transfer. The intermediate iron species not only interacted with organic pollutants and accelerated their transformation, but also corrupted (oxidized) the physical structure of biochar and expanded its surface area and pore volume. Increase of surface area and pore volume of the spent biochar in turn resulted in the improved adsorption capacity. In addition to eliminating emerging organic pollutants, ferrate/biochar removed 8.7%-31.6% of TOC in authentic water and decreased the formation potential of 20 kinds of chlorinated disinfection by-products (DBPs) by 9.2%-23.9%.

Abstract
Oxidative treatment of iodide-containing waters can lead to a formation of potentially toxic iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs). Iodide (I-) is easily oxidized to HOI by various oxidation processes and its reaction with dissolved organic matter (DOM) can produce I-DBPs. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a key role in minimizing the formation of I-DBPs by reduction of HOI during H2O2-based advanced oxidation processes or water treatment based on peracetic acid or ferrate(VI). To assess the importance of these reactions, second order rate constants for the reaction of HOI with H2O2 were determined in the pH range of 4.0-12.0. H2O2 showed considerable reactivity with HOI near neutral pH (kapp = 9.8 × 103 and 6.3 × 104 M-1s-1 at pH 7.1 and 8.0, respectively). The species-specific second order rate constants for the reactions of H2O2 with HOI, HO2- with HOI, and HO2- with OI- were determined as kH2O2+HOI = 29 ± 5.2 M-1s-1, kHO2-+HOI = (3.1 ± 0.3) × 108 M-1s-1, and kHO2-+OI- = (6.4 ± 1.4) × 107 M-1s-1, respectively. The activation energy for the reaction between HOI and H2O2 was determined to be Ea = 34 kJ mol-1. The effect of buffer types (phosphate, acetate, and borate) and their concentrations was also investigated. Phosphate and acetate buffers significantly increased the rate of the H2O2-HOI reaction at pH 7.3 and 4.7, respectively, whereas the effect of borate was moderate. It could be demonstrated, that the formation of iodophenols from phenol as a model for I-DBPs formation was significantly reduced by the addition of H2O2 to HOI- and phenol-containing solutions. During water treatment with the O3/H2O2 process or peracetic acid in the presence of I-, O3 and peracetic acid will be consumed by a catalytic oxidation of I- due to the fast reduction of HOI by H2O2. The O3 deposition on the ocean surface may also be influenced by the presence of H2O2, which leads to a catalytic consumption of O3 by I-.

Ferrate(VI) pretreatment before disinfection: An effective approach to controlling unsaturated and aromatic halo-disinfection byproducts in chlorinated and chloraminated drinking waters.

Abstract
Disinfection is an essential process of drinking water treatment to eliminate harmful pathogens, but it generates potentially toxic disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Ferrate (FeO42-, Fe(VI)) was used to pre-oxidize natural organic matter (NOM, the precursor of DBPs) in source water to control DBP formation in subsequent chlorine or chloramine disinfection. Currently, it is unclear how Fe(VI) changes the structure of NOM, and no information details the effect of Fe(VI) pretreatment on the aromatic DBPs or the speciation of overall DBPs generated in subsequent disinfection of drinking water. In the present paper, Fe(VI) was applied to pretreat simulated source water samples at a Fe(VI) to dissolved organic carbon mole ratio of 1:1 at pH 8.0. 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was newly employed to characterize NOM in simulated source waters with and without Fe(VI) treatment, and it was demonstrated that Fe(VI) converted unsaturated aromatic C functional groups in NOM to saturated aliphatic ones. High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and high performance liquid chromatography/triple quadrupole MS were applied to analyze the DBPs generated in chlorination and chloramination of the source waters with and without Fe(VI) pretreatment. It was confirmed that Fe(VI) pretreatment followed by chlorination (or chloramination), generated DBPs containing less unsaturated, halogenated, and aromatic moieties than chlorination (or chloramination) without pretreatment by Fe(VI). Finally, the cytotoxicity of disinfected drinking water samples were assessed with the human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cell line (a model of the intestinal barrier for ingested toxicants), and the results show that Fe(VI) pretreatment detoxified the chlorinated and chloraminated drinking waters.

Abstract
Promotional effect of Mn(II)/K2FeO4 [Fe(VI)] applying onto Se(IV) removal was determined for the first time, with description of reaction mechanisms. Four different combinations of water treatment agents [K2FeO4 alone, K2FeO4 with Al(III) ions, K2FeO4 with Fe(III) ions, and K2FeO4 with Mn(II) ions] were used for Se removal in spiked deionized water, and K2FeO4 in combination with Mn(II) ions showed great removal efficiency. Over 90% of Se(IV) (200 μg/L) was removed within 2 min by using 1 mg/L of K2FeO4 and 9 mg/L of Mn(II) ions (pH 7.0, 23 °C). XPS analysis identified that in the reaction process, Se(0) formed on the settlement. It was speculated that Se(IV) was oxidized to Se(VI) by K2FeO4, and the Se(VI) species was reduced to insoluble Se(0) by γ-Fe2O3-Mn(II) nanocomplex. Insoluble Se(0) adsorbed on the surface of Fe-Mn particle and coprecipitated, thus removed from aqueous solution. As solution pH varied from 4.0 to 8.0, Se(IV) removal ratio ranged from 89% to 98% in the system. Co-existing ions such as Na+, Ca2+ and SO42- had no intense effect on Se removal, while PO43- and humic acid (HA) inhibited Se removal in Mn(II)/K2FeO4 system. Mn(II)/K2FeO4 was an effective and convenient way for Se(IV) removal from polluted water.

Abstract
Ferrate(VI) (FeVIO42, Fe(VI)) is an emerging oxidant/disinfectant to treat a wide range of contaminants and microbial pollutants in wastewater. This study describes the inactivation of murine norovirus (MNV) by Fe(VI) in phosphate buffer (PB) and secondary effluent wastewater (SEW). The decay of Fe(VI) had second-order kinetics in PB while Fe(VI) underwent an initial demand followed by first-order decay kinetics in SEW. The Chick-Watson inactivation kinetic model, based on integral CT (ICT) dose, well fitted the inactivation of MNV in both PB and SEW. In PB, the values of the inactivation rate constant (kd) decreased with an increase in pH, which was related to the reaction of protonated Fe(VI) species (HFeO4-) with MNV. Higher kd was observed in SEW than in PB. The inactivation of indigenous fecal coliforms (FC) in SEW was also measured. A two-population double-exponential model that accounted for both dispersed and particle-associated FC well fitted the inactivation data with determined kd and particle-associated inactivation rate constant (kp). Results show that Fe(VI) was more effective in inactivating dispersed FC than MNV. The MNV inactivation results obtained herein, coupled with the detailed modeling, provide important information in designing an Fe(VI) wastewater disinfection process.

Abstract
Highly toxic iodinated products would form in oxidation and disinfection of iodine-containing water. Variation of iodinated aromatic products in ferrate [Fe(VI)] oxidation of phenolic compounds (phenol, bisphenol A (BPA), and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBA)) in iodine-containing water was investigated. At pH 5.0, oxidation of phenolic compounds was inhibited by competitive reaction of ferrate with I-, and no formation of iodinated aromatic products was detected. Almost all I- was converted into nontoxic IO3-. At pH 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0, HOI formed in ferrate oxidation of I- and further reacted with phenols, with the formation of iodinated aromatic products. Mass spectrometry analysis showed that both kinds and contents of iodinated aromatic products were raised with the increase in solution pH and the content of I-, and these iodinated aromatic products were further oxidized by ferrate. Ferrate deprived iodine from iodinated aromatic products and transferred highly toxic organic iodine into nontoxic IO3-. An electron-donating substituent (alkyl) increased the reactivity of phenol with ferrate and HOI and facilitated ferrate oxidation of iodinated phenols. An electron-drawing substituent (carboxyl) decreased the reactivity of phenol with ferrate and HOI and hindered the further oxidation of iodinated aromatic products. A kinetic model about the variation of phenol, BPA, and p-HBA in reaction with ferrate in iodine-containing water was developed, and the oxidation profile of phenolic compounds could be satisfactorily predicted at various iodide concentrations.

Abstract
This work investigates the transformation of iodide (I-) by Fe(II)-activated peroxydisulfate (PDS). The transformation of I- into iodate (IO3-) is a two-step process, involving reactive iodine species, such as hypoiodous acid (HOI), as a key intermediate, and IO3- as the final product. In the first step, SO4•- produced by Fe(II)-activated PDS is mainly responsible for the transformation of I- into HOI. In the second step, Fe(IV) formed by the reaction of Fe(III) with PDS is required, to facilitate the further oxidation of HOI to IO3-. The disproportionation of HOI and the oxidation by PDS alone contribute negligibly to IO3- formation. The IO3- yield increases to a maximum, before decreasing gradually, with increased PDS and Fe(II) dosages. The transformation of I- into IO3- is favored by lower pH and higher temperature, due to the greater SO4•- production by the reaction of Fe(II) with PDS under these conditions. Humic acid, as a representative natural organic matter, scavenges the formed HOI to form iodinated disinfection byproducts, which largely inhibit the transformation of I- into IO3-. In addition, the transformation of I- into IO3- and iodinated disinfection byproducts by Fe(II) activated PDS was confirmed in the natural waters.

[PMID: 30359941 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2018.10.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2018] [Revised: 09/12/2018] [Accepted: 10/05/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol AF (BPAF) were increasingly consumed and these compounds are resistant to environmental degradation. Herein, ferrate oxidation of BPS and BPAF was investigated, and biodegradability of the oxidation products was examined. The second-order reaction rate constants of ferrate with BPS and BPAF were 1.3 × 103 M-1s-1 and 3 × 102 M-1s-1, respectively, at pH 7.0, 25 °C. In the oxidation process, some BPS molecules dimerized, while other BPS molecules were oxidized through oxygen-transfer process, leading to the formation of hydroxylation products and benzene-ring cleavage products. The dominant reaction of BPAF with ferrate was oxygen-transfer process, and BPAF was degraded into lower molecular weight products. The variation of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) suggested that the biodegradability of BPAF and BPS was largely improved after ferrate oxidation. Compared with the BPS oxidation products, the BPAF oxidation products were easier to be bio-consumed. Pure culture test showed that BPAF inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli, while ferrate oxidation completely eliminated this toxic effect. Co-existing humic acid (HA, 1 mg C/L to 5 mg C/L) decreased the removal of BPS and BPAF with ferrate. Compared with BPAF, more oxidation intermediates formed in the ferrate oxidation of BPS may be reduced by HA to the parent molecular. Thus, the inhibition effect of HA on the ferrate oxidation of BPS was more obvious than that on BPAF.

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
Ferrate (K2FeO4) is a powerful oxidant and up to 3 mol of electrons could be captured by 1 mol of ferrate in the theoretical conversion of Fe(VI)-Fe(V)-Fe(IV)-Fe(III). However, it is reported that the utilization efficiency of the ferrate oxidation capacity is quite low because of the rapid autodecomposition of intermediate iron species, which negatively influences the potential of ferrate on organic pollutants control. We accidentally found that for the ferrate oxidation of carbamazepine (CBZ), bisphenol S (BPS), diclofenac (DCF), and ciprofloxacin (CIP), the determined reaction rate constants were 1.7-2.4 times lower in phosphate buffer than those in borate buffer at pH 8.0. For the reaction of ferrate with 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) at pH 7.0, the determined reaction stoichiometries were 1:1.04 in 100 mM phosphate buffer, 1:1.18 in 10 mM phosphate buffer, and 1:1.93 in 10 mM borate buffer, respectively. The oxidation ability of ferrate seems depressed in phosphate buffer. A kinetic model involving the oxidation of ABTS by Fe(VI), Fe(V) and Fe(IV) species was developed and fitted the ABTS•+ formation kinetics well under different buffer conditions. The results showed that phosphate exhibited little influence on the oxidation ability of Fe(VI) and Fe(IV) species, but decreased the specific rate constants of ABTS with Fe(V) species by 1-2 orders of magnitude, resulting in the outcompeting of Fe(V) autodecomposition pathway. The complexation between phosphate anions and Fe(V) species may account for the inhibition effect of phosphate buffer. Considering that many studies regarding ferrate oxidation were carried out in phosphate buffer, the actual oxidation ability of ferrate may be underestimated.

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.
