Abstract
Multiple odour nuisance in livestock farming is a notorious problem that has a significant impact on the living environment of surrounding communities. Adsorbents based on metal-organic framework (MOF) materials show great promise for controlling odour pollution, as they offer a high specific surface area, a controllable structure and an abundance of active sites. However, the MOF formation process is prone to problems such as pore clogging or collapse and reduced porosity, which limits its further application. In this study, a series of odour adsorbents were prepared by in situ growth of NH2-UiO-66 on tea stem biochar (TSBC) using a hydrothermal method and named UiO (Zr)-TSBCx. The physical and chemical properties and composition of UiO (Zr)-TSBCx have been systematically characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption and XPS. The release of odours from the pig farm effluent was monitored using in-situ continuous Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS), and the obtained primary compositions were tested for further adsorption. In dynamic adsorption experiments focused on butyric acid, UiO (Zr)-TSBC2 showed a high adsorption capacity of 3.99 × 105 μg/g and exceptional structural stability. UiO (Zr)-TSBC2 showed variable adsorption efficiencies for different odorous gases, with the best performance for the removal of ammonia, toluene and butyric acid. It also demonstrated the ability to rapidly mitigate instantaneous high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methanethiol and toluene resulting from agitation. Additionally, based on the relationship between the adsorption amount and the structural characteristics of the adsorbent as well as the nature of the odours, a possible adsorption mechanism of UiO (Zr)-TSBC2 for a variety of odours released from pig farm effluent was proposed. This work demonstrates a novel approach to promote deodorization applications in livestock and poultry farming environments by the in-situ growth of NH2-UiO-66 on biochar prepared from tea stem.

Huang Y, Bu L, Zhu S, Zhou S. Integration of nontarget analysis with machine learning modeling for prioritization of odorous volatile organic compounds in surface water. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134367. [PMID: 38653135 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Assessing the odor risk caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water has been a big challenge for water quality evaluation due to the abundance of odorants in water and the inherent difficulty in obtaining the corresponding odor sensory attributes. Here, a novel odor risk assessment approach has been established, incorporating nontarget screening for odorous VOC identification and machine learning (ML) modeling for odor threshold prediction. Twenty-nine odorous VOCs were identified using two-dimensional gas chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry from four surface water sampling sites. These identified odorants primarily fell into the categories of ketones and ethers, and originated mainly from biological production. To obtain the odor threshold of these odorants, we trained an ML model for odor threshold prediction, which displayed good performance with accuracy of 79%. Further, an odor threshold-based prioritization approach was developed to rank the identified odorants. 2-Methylisoborneol and nonanal were identified as the main odorants contributing to water odor issues at the four sampling sites. This study provides an accessible method for accurate and quick determination of key odorants in source water, aiding in odor control and improved water quality management. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: Water odor episodes have been persistent and significant issues worldwide, posing severe challenges to water treatment plants. Unpleasant odors in aquatic environments are predominantly caused by the occurrence of a wide range of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs). Given the vast number of newly-detected VOCs, experimental identification of the key odorants becomes difficult, making water odor issues complex to control. Herein, we propose a novel approach integrating nontarget analysis with machine learning models to accurate and quick determine the key odorants in waterbodies. We use the approach to analyze four samples with odor issues in Changsha, and prioritized the potential odorants.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 238:117072. [PMID: 37690627 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117072] [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: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
Powdered activated carbon (PAC) adsorption is regarded as an efficient method for removing odorants from drinking water. However, in eutrophic aquatic environments, the presence of algal organic matter (AOM) produced by cyanobacteria considerably impedes the adsorption of odorous compounds by activated carbon. This study focused on investigating the adsorption characteristics of three representative odorants: 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), β-cyclocitral (β-cyclo), and butyl sulfide (BS) by PAC and the effects of AOM on the PAC adsorption of odorants. The removal of the three odorants reached 83.5-97.5% at a PAC dosage of 10 mg/L after 12 h of exposure in a competition-free scenario. The adsorption kinetics demonstrated higher conformity (R2 > 0.9) with the pseudo-second-order model, whereas the adsorption capacity exhibited stronger conformity (R2 > 0.9) with the Freundlich model. The presence of AOM resulted in varying levels of competition for PAC for the adsorption of the three odorants. As the concentration of AOM increased from 0 to 5 mg C/L, the removal of 2-MIB was the most affected (from 83.5% to 10.0%), followed by β-cyclo (from 86.6% to 55.0%), and BS (from 97.5% to 92.0%). The competitive adsorption of AOM at the molecular level was studied using density functional theory (DFT). The DFT results suggested that odorants with higher and more uniformly distributed electrostatic potentials exhibited a heightened affinity for PAC adsorption and a diminished susceptibility to disruption caused by AOM. This study provides valuable insights into the mitigation of odorous compounds during drinking water purification.

Abstract
Odorous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) deteriorate the quality of life and affect human health. In this study, a process was developed to remove an odorous VOC using a combined non-thermal plasma (NTP) and wet scrubber (WS) system. The low removal efficiency of WSs and the large amount of ozone generated by NTP were resolved. Compared to the decomposition effects when using a WS and NTP separately, the NTP + WS system improved the removal efficiency of ethyl acrylate (EA) and significantly reduced ozone emissions. The maximum EA removal efficiency was 99.9%. Additionally, an EA removal efficiency of over 53.4% and a 100% ozone removal efficiency were achieved even at discharge voltages lower than 4.5 kV. Ozone catalysis was confirmed to occur in the NTP + WS system. Furthermore, we verified the removal of by-products such as residual ozone and formaldehyde, which is a representative organic intermediate of EA. This study demonstrates that the NTP + WS system is a green technology for removing odorous VOCs.

Abstract
Swampy/septic odor caused by thioethers has become the main taste and odor (T&O) problem in drinking water of China. Improving its removal performance by commonly traditional water treatment process is significant. In our study, we have found that pre-oxidation could modify the background dissolved organic matter (DOM) properties and thus improve the coagulation performance of thioethers, increasing the coagulation removal rates by 1.5-3 times. Particularly, after pre-ozonation only protein-like substances remained, and thioethers removal was 1.5 times higher than that after pre-chlorination (only coagulation not including oxidation). Compared with humic acid (HA), the thioethers compounds removal efficiencies under bovine serum albumin (BSA) as background DOM was increased by 0.3-3 times. Through Freundlich model analysis, the binding strength of BSA (KF = 20.712, at 298 K) to dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) was enhanced by 60 % compared to HA (KF = 12.778, at 298 K). According to thermodynamic parameters, the binding effect between HA/BSA and thioethers compounds was mainly van der Waals forces and hydrogen bond. BSA with more amino structure and oxygen groups was more easily to adsorb DMDS through hydrogen bond and thus achieved better coagulation performance. Therefore, pre-ozonation combined with coagulation was suggested to be more suitable for thioethers compounds control.

Abstract
Chloroanisoles is a class of odorous pollutants commonly identified in drinking water. In the present study, we confined noble metal palladium (Pd) in the micropores of zeolite Y (ie-Pd@Y) using an ion exchange method, and applied it for the catalytic hydrodechlorination removal of chloroanisoles (represented by 2,4,6-trichloroanisole/TCA) in water. Pd supported on zeolite Y surface (im-Pd/Y, prepared by conventional impregnation method) was used as the benchmarking catalyst. The characterization results revealed that ie-Pd@Y had smaller Pd particle size and higher Pdn+/Pd0 ratio than im-Pd/Y. The catalytic hydrodechlorination of TCA followed a concerted dechlorination pathway and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. The ie-Pd@Y catalysts with different Pd loadings exhibit excellent catalytic activities with more than 95% of TCA removed within 30 min, which is far superior to the im-Pd/Y catalysts (27-70%). Moreover, due to the confinement effect of zeolite Y, ie-Pd@Y displayed enhanced catalytic stability as compared with im-Pd/Y. The initial activity of ie-Pd@Y was more than 20 times higher than that of im-Pd/Y after five reaction cycles. Additionally, with the assistance of sieving effect, ie-Pd@Y displayed much stronger capability against the interference from dissolved organic matter than im-Pd/Y. The present results demonstrate that the confined catalysts ie-Pd@Y can be applied in liquid phase catalytic hydrogenation to effectively eliminate halogenated odorants in waters.

Abstract
Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption is one of the best available technologies for removing perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from drinking water. However, GAC processes in full-scale drinking water treatment plants frequently encounter unstable, even negative removal efficiency on PFASs due to the lack of understanding between the GAC characteristics and the PFASs polluted water quality conditions. In this study, the scenarios of raw water pre-chlorination and emergency contamination by multiple PFASs were simulated to evaluate the PFASs control performance by in-service GAC with different properties and ages. The results showed that the adsorption of a relatively longer-chain PFAS by the in-service GAC can be achieved by replacing the pre-adsorbed natural organic matter (NOM). The increased lower molecular weight NOM after pre-chlorination could compete with PFASs for adsorption sites and exacerbate the pore blockage, thus significantly weakening the PFASs removal ability of in-service GAC. When multiple PFASs entered the water by emergency contamination, the PFASs with stronger hydrophobicity could replace the PFASs with less hydrophobicity that had previously been adsorbed on GAC. GAC with a higher proportion of micropores had a lower risk of PFASs leakage facing the water quality changes.

Abstract
The review summarizes the latest scientific findings and recommendations for the prevention of three very common wine faults of non-microbial origin. The first group, presented by the reductive aromas, is caused mainly by excessive H2S and other volatile sulfur compounds with a negative impact on wine quality. The most efficient prevention of undesirable reductive aromas in wine lies in creating optimal conditions for yeast and controlling the chemistry of sulfur compounds, and the pros and cons of correction methods are discussed. The second is browning which is associated especially with the enzymatic and non-enzymatic reaction of polyphenols and the prevention of this fault is connected with decreasing the polyphenol content in must, lowering oxygen access during handling, the use of antioxidants, and correction stands for the use of fining agents. The third fault, atypical aging, mostly occurs in the agrotechnics of the entire green land cover in the vineyard and the associated stress from lack of nutrients and moisture. Typical fox tones, naphthalene, or wet towel off-odors, especially in white wines are possible to prevent by proper moisture and grassland cover and alternating greenery combined with harmonious nutrition, while the correction is possible only partially with an application of fresh yeast. With the current knowledge, the mistakes in wines of non-microbial origin can be reliably prevented. Prevention is essential because corrective solutions for the faults are difficult and never perfect.

Abstract
Natural organic matter (NOM) exerts negative impacts on 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) removal by powdered activated carbon (PAC), thus adding to the difficulty in accurate PAC dose prediction. Our study investigated the application of the ideal adsorbed solution theory-equivalent background compound (IAST-EBC) model and its simplified version for PAC dose prediction. Four raw water samples were employed, and the corresponding C0,EBC values, indicating NOM competitiveness, were calculated. The results showed that the IAST-EBC model presented ideal predictive performance in 2-MIB adsorption under both equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions and the C0,EBC values of the Huangpu River (8800 ng/L) and Qiantang River (10300 ng/L) were high, representing the higher NOM competitiveness in these two rivers, which may be caused by municipal effluent and industrial wastewater discharge. In contrast, Tai Lake water showed a lower C0,EBC value (6400 ng/L), which was likely associated with algae and other microbial activities. The fluorescence index (FI, the ratio of Ex/Em = 370/470 nm to Ex/Em = 370/520 nm) can be applied to estimate C0,EBC, thus facilitating prediction. Our study also showed that the IAST-EBC model can be further simplified under lower initial 2-MIB concentrations or longer contact times, which is particularly useful for practical applications.

Abstract
The frequent detection of phenols and indoles in source water gives rise to concern about the taste and odor problems mainly caused by some chemicals. Exploration for the efficient removal of trace amounts of phenols and indoles in source water is imperative. This study investigated the removals and oxidation kinetics of 3-methylphenol (3-MP), 2,6-dichlorophenol (2,6-DCP), indole and 3-methylindole (3-MI) by NaClO and KMnO4. The results showed that the selected chemical odorants could be removed by NaClO and KMnO4. Meanwhile, the oxidation processes could be well described by the second-order kinetics model, in which kinetics constants of chemical odorants were from 1.44 × 104 to 1.45 × 106 L·mol-1·min-1 and followed the order 3-MI > indole> 3-MP> 2,6-DCP by NaClO. However, the kinetics constants for the selected chemical odorants were also determined from 1.10 × 103 to 2.25 × 104 L·mol-1·min-1 and in the order 2,6-DCP> 3-MI> 3-MP > indole by KMnO4. The phenols degradation mechanisms by NaClO are chlorine substitution, and the products generated are 3,4,6-trichloro-2-methylphenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, etc. And that of indoles are chlorine substitution and hydroxylation by NaClO, which generated 6-chloroindole, 2,6-dichloroaniline, etc. The phenols degradation pathways are oxidative coupling reactions by KMnO4, and that of indoles are hydroxylation reactions by KMnO4. This study provides a further basis for NaClO and KMnO4 oxidation to remove trace phenols and indoles in drinking water pre-treatments.

Abstract
A complex dataset with 140 sampling events was generated using triple quadrupole gas chromatography-mass spectrometer to track the occurrence of 95 odorants in raw and finished water from 98 drinking water treatment plants in 31 cities across China. Data analysis identified more than 70 odorants with concentrations ranging from not detected to thousands of ng/L. In raw water, Pearson correlation analysis determined that thioethers, non-oxygen benzene-containing compounds, and pyrazines were classes of chemicals that co-occurred, and geosmin and p(m)-cresol, as well as cyclohexanone and benzaldehyde, also co-occurred, indicating similar natural or industrial sources. Based on classification and regression tree analysis, total dissolved organic carbon and geographical location were identified as major factors affecting the occurrence of thioethers. Indoles, phenols, and thioethers were well-removed through conventional and advanced treatment processes, while some aldehydes could be generated. For other odorants, higher removal was achieved by ozonation-biological activated carbon (39.3%) compared to the conventional treatment process (14.5%). To our knowledge, this is the first study to systematically identify the major odorants in raw water and determine suitable treatment strategies to control their occurrence by applying data analytics and statistical methods to the complex dataset. These provide informative reference for odor control and water quality management in drinking water industry.

Abstract
Sudden odor incidents occurring in the source water have been a severe problem for water suppliers. In order to apply emergency control measures effectively, it is necessary to identify the target compounds responsible for odor incidents rapidly. The present work identified the odorants and explored emergency disposal mechanisms for sudden and severe odors in the QT River's drinking water source (HZ city, China). Medicinal, chemical, septic, and musty odors with strong intensities were detected in the source water. The effect of conventional treatments of drinking water treatment plant (DWTP) on odors' removal was limited, which was evident by the presence of medicinal, chemical, and musty odors with moderate intensities in the effluent of DWTP. Total seventeen odorants were identified successfully in the source water of QT River and the effluent of DWTP. The measured OAVs and reconstituting the identified odorants explained 87, 87, 89, and 94% of medicinal, chemical, septic, and musty odors, respectively, in the source water of the QT River and 90, 87, and 88% of medicinal, chemical, and musty odors in the effluent. Styrene, phenol, 2-chlorophenol, 2-tert-butylphenol, and 2-methylphenol were associated with the medicinal odor, while propyl sulfide, diethyl disulfide, propyl disulfide, and indole were related to the septic odor. Geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) were responsible for the musty odor, and cyclohexanone, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, and nitrobenzene were involved with the chemical odor. Based on the characteristics of identified odorants, powdered activated carbon (PAC) was applied to control the odors in the QT River. The results indicated that the medicinal, chemical, septic, and musty odors could be removed entirely after adding 15 mg/L PAC, which effectively controlled emergency odor problems. Overall, the study would offer a scientific basis and operational reference for emergency odor management and control in DWTP with similar complicated odor incidents.

Abstract
The effect of powdered activated carbon (PAC) on chlorine oxidation is not well understood, therefore this study was designed to further investigate the chlorine oxidation mechanism with the presence of PAC. The oxidation processes of two model organic pollutants (bisphenol-A and methylene blue) with chlorine were compared in the absence and presence of PAC. The results showed a significant increase in reaction rates with the addition of PAC. Electron spin resonance indicated that the PAC catalyzed the oxidation of chlorine to generate more Cl and O2-. Additionally, the analysis of the surface characteristics of thermally modified PACs under N2 and their corresponding reaction rates revealed that there existed a significant correlation between the CO groups and the catalytic effect. PAC exhibited a much lower reaction rate under H2 modification, which indicated that the π electrons of the basal plane might be involved in the catalysis. Density functional theory calculations confirmed that the various oxygen groups on PAC reduced the activation barrier for HOCl dissociation, particularly the carboxyl group. This investigation provides a better understanding of the interactions between chlorine and activated carbon materials, which could be useful for selecting suitable water treatment agents.

Abstract
Odors and tastes have become universal problems related to drinking water quality. In addition to the typical odor problems caused by algae or microorganisms, the occurrence of odors derived from drinking water disinfection have attracted attention. The chlor(am)ination-derived odor substances have certain toxicity and odor-causing characteristics, and would enter the tap water through water distribution systems, directly affecting drinking water safety and customer experience. This study provided a comprehensive overview of the occurrence, detection, and control of odor substances derived from drinking water chlor(am)ination disinfection. The occurrence and formation mechanisms of several typical types of disinfection derived odor substances were summarized, including haloanisoles, N-chloroaldimines, iodotrihalomethanes, and halophenoles. They are mainly derived from specific precursors such as halophenols, anisoles, and amino acids species during the disinfection or distribution networks. In addition, the change of disinfectant during chlor(am)ination was also one of the causes of disinfection odors. Due to the extremely low odor threshold concentrations (OTCs) of these odor substances, the effective sample pre-enrichment for instrument identification and quantification are essential. The control strategies of odor problems mainly include adsorption, chemical oxidation, and combined processes such as ozonation and biological activated carbon processes (O3/BAC) and ultraviolet-based advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs). Finally, the challenges and possible future research directions in this research field were discussed and proposed.

Abstract
To evaluate the potential of sepiolite-based materials to resolve environmental pollution problems, a study is needed which looks at the whole life cycle of material application, including the residual value of material classified as waste from the exploitation of sepiolite deposits in the region or from its processing and purification. This would also maximize value from the exploitation process and provide new potential for local waste management. We review the geographical distribution of sepiolite, its application in the treatment of potentially toxic elements in soil and across the wider landscape, an assessment of modification and compositional variation of sepiolite-based applications within site remediation and wastewater treatment. The potential of sepiolite-based technologies is widespread and a number of processes utilize sepiolite-derived materials. Along with its intrinsic characteristics, both the long-term durability and the cost-effectiveness of the application need to be considered, making it possible to design ready-to-use products with good market acceptance. From a critical analysis of the literature, the most frequently associated terms associated with sepiolite powder are the use of lime and bentonite, while fly ash ranked in the top ten of the most frequently used material with sepiolite. These add improved performance for the inclusion as a soil or wastewater treatment options, alone or applied in combination with other treatment methods. This approach needs an integrated assessment to establish economic viability and environmental performance. Applications are not commonly evaluated from a cost-benefit perspective, in particular in relation to case studies within geographical regions hosting primary sepiolite deposits and wastes that have the potential for beneficial reuse.

Abstract
In this study, an integrated device with scrubbing and biochemical treatment functions was used, and partial nitrification (PN)-Anammox and sulfur autotrophic denitrification (SADN) processes were coupled in a biochemical treatment pond to explore the feasibility of in-situ autotrophic removal of NH3 and H2S. The results showed that the removal efficiency of NH3 and H2S in waste gas are 95% and 87.5% respectively. The scrubbing liquid was efficiently treated in the biochemical treatment pond. Nitrogenous compounds weren't accumulated in liquid and converted to N2 by SADN and PN-Anammox coupling system. S2- was mainly used by SADN process to reduce NO3-. The scrubbing liquid processed by the biochemical treatment pond was refluxed to the scrubber to achieve continuous absorption of NH3 and H2S. Microbial community and functional microbial analysis showed that the PN-Anammox and SADN processes were the main processes to achieve the conversion of pollutants in the scrubbing liquid.

WATER RESEARCH X 2021; 11:100099. [PMID: 33889833 PMCID: PMC8050797 DOI: 10.1016/j.wroa.2021.100099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Taste and odor (T&O) issues have been a major concern among drinking water utilities as source waters are becoming increasingly vulnerable to compounds released during algal blooms as well as non-algal compounds. While most of the literature focuses on the two most common T&O compounds - 2-MIB and geosmin, there are other compounds that have the potential to cause T&O events. The aim of this study was to develop an advanced analytical method using solid phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) to identify 18 T&O compounds belonging to various odor classes. The developed method was optimized for the 18 analytes and implemented to determine the holding time of the compounds in raw and treated (distribution system point-of-entry or PoE) drinking water matrices. Compounds belonging to certain classes such as pyrazines and anisoles were found to be "stable" (< 30% loss) in all tested waters for up to two weeks, while aldehydes, ketones, esters and alkyl sulfides showed > 30% loss within 96 h in raw water. Preservation of samples at low pH (< 2) using hydrochloric acid increased the holding times and reduced losses within 96 h for aldehydes, ketones and esters. The paper also discusses the occurrence of these compounds with water utilities from the Midwest and Eastern US during the summer months. The study detected eight T&O compounds - 2-MIB, geosmin, β-cyclocitral, β-ionone, hexanal, indole, dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide. While five compounds were detected above their threshold concentrations in the raw water, two of them (2-MIB and geosmin) were detected above threshold in the PoE samples.

Abstract
Ozone and biological activated carbon (BAC) are known to be effective at removing odors in drinking water. However, the specific variations in complex odors and odorants along the course of advanced treatments in full-scale drinking water treatment plants (DWTP) have remained unclear. In this paper, the migration of odors and odorants through pre-ozonation, sedimentation, post-ozonation, and BAC treatment processes were studied from January to December 2019 in a DWTP. The results indicated that septic, musty, and chemical odors with intensities of 6-6.7, 6-7.5, 4-5 could be removed by both ozonation and BAC, while grassy, fishy odors with intensities of 3.3-4.8, 2.3-5.8 could not be removed until the BAC step. Twenty-four odorants identified in raw water were classified as musty (2-methylisoborneol, geosmin), chemical (e.g. indane, eucalyptol), septic (e.g. dimethyl disulfide, pentanethiol), fishy (2,4-decadienal) and grassy (nonanal, decanal) odor compounds. It is noteworthy that eleven additional odorants were produced after ozonation; in addition, the concentrations of fishy and grassy odorants were increased after ozonation, and the concentrations of musty, septic, fishy, and grassy odorants were increased after sedimentation, suggesting that sedimentation and ozonation should be carefully managed. BAC was the most effective at removing the above odorants simultaneously. This study would be helpful for providing more insights into the migration of odorants along treatment processes and understanding the mitigation of odors in DWTPs using raw waters with complex odors.

WATER RESEARCH 2021; 189:116643. [PMID: 33246216 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2020.116643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2020] [Revised: 11/10/2020] [Accepted: 11/13/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Swampy/septic odor caused by various sulfides is one of the most frequently encountered odor problems in drinking water. However, even though it is much more offensive, few studies have specifically focused on swampy/septic odor compared to the extensively studied musty/earthy problems. In this work, four sulfide odorants, diamyl sulfide (DAS), dipropyl sulfide (DPS), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and diethyl disulfide (DEDS), were selected to evaluate the treatment performance of different oxidation processes in drinking water. The results demonstrated that DMDS, DEDS, DPS and DAS could be oxidized effectively by KMnO4, NaClO and ClO2. The oxidation processes could be well described by the second-order kinetic model, in which k values of selected sulfides followed the order DMDS≈DEDS ≪ DPS≈DAS. As for the three oxidants, the order of reactivity was KMnO4 ≪ ClO2 < NaClO, which was also verified in raw water. The results of oxidation treatability, reaction kinetics and mechanisms confirmed that the characteristics of the central sulfur atom rather than the side chain is the decisive factor in controlling the oxidation rate and transformation pathway of sulfides. The transformation products and pathways were significantly different for the three oxidants. Sulfones (DPSO, DASO) were always formed by cycloaddition reactions during KMnO4 oxidation, yet recombination reactions proceeded during ClO2 oxidation and formed more products, such as MADS, DADS and EADS. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that the differences in transformation pathways were caused by the variations in the activity of the oxidants and sulfides. Finally, NaClO was certified as the most effective oxidant for controlling sulfide odorants in drinking water treatment.

Fate of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes during conventional and additional treatment technologies in wastewater treatment plants. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 741:140199. [PMID: 32615424 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.140199] [Citation(s) in RCA: 85] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2020] [Revised: 06/11/2020] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
Information on the removal of antibiotics and ARGs in full-scale WWTPs (with or without additional treatment technology) is limited. However, it is important to understand the efficiency of full-scale treatment technologies in removing antibiotics and ARGs under a variety of conditions relevant for practice to reduce their environmental spreading. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the removal of antibiotics and ARGs in a conventional wastewater treatment plant (WWTP A) and two full-scale combined with additional treatment technologies. WWTP B, a conventional activated sludge treatment followed by an activated carbon filtration step (1-STEP® filter) as a final treatment step. WWTP C, a treatment plant using aerobic granular sludge (NEREDA®) as an alternative to activated sludge treatment. Water and sludge were collected and analysed for 52 antibiotics from four target antibiotic groups (macrolides, sulfonamides, quinolones, tetracyclines) and four target ARGs (ermB, sul 1, sul 2 and tetW) and integrase gene class 1 (intI1). Despite the high removal percentages (79-88%) of the total load of antibiotics in all WWTPs, some antibiotics were detected in the various effluents. Additional treatment technology (WWTP C) showed antibiotics removal up to 99% (tetracyclines). For ARGs, WWTP C reduced 2.3 log followed by WWTP A with 2.0 log, and WWTP B with 1.3 log. This shows that full-scale WWTP with an additional treatment technology are promising solutions for reducing emissions of antibiotics and ARGs from wastewater treatment plants. However, total removal of the antibiotics and ARGS cannot be achieved for all types of antibiotics and ARGs. In addition, the ARGs were more abundant in the sludge compared to the wastewater effluent suggesting that sludge is an important reservoir representing a source for later ARG emissions upon reuse, i.e. as fertilizer in agriculture or as resource for bioplastics or bioflocculants. These aspects require further research.

Abstract
In this study, the adsorption capacities of two common odor compounds, 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), onto nine common types of powdered activated carbon (PAC) were comprehensively compared to screen the critical surface chemical properties affecting the adsorption performance. The results showed that the adsorption capacities of all the PACs for DMDS were generally lower than those for 2-MIB. The Spearman's rank correlation analysis indicated that the adsorption capacity for 2-MIB did not have any correlation with the PAC surface sites, while the DMDS adsorption capacity was positively related to the number of basic sites. The effect of the PAC basic sites on the DMDS adsorption was further verified by density functional theory (DFT) calculation in two adsorption modes (facial mode and edge mode). The graphene structure in the edge mode was the most favorable for DMDS adsorption with the lowest adsorption enthalpy, followed by the ketone-doped structure under the facial mode. An independent gradient model indicated that van der Waals forces were dominant in the DMDS adsorption. Moreover, thermal modification was conducted to further prove the relationship between the basic sites and the DMDS adsorption. After thermal modification, the PAC with more basic sites and graphene structures was found to be more effective for DMDS adsorption. Overall, this study could offer guidance for water treatment plants with respect to the selection of PAC to solve the odor problems caused by various compounds (e.g., DMDS or 2-MIB), and the modification of PAC, aiming at more efficient odor removal.

[PMID: 31874322 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.125675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Revised: 12/12/2019] [Accepted: 12/15/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Regression analysis of micropore volume and particle size of powdered activated carbon (PAC) is applied to develop a model to predict the adsorption ratio of a non-polar compound, 2-methylisorneol (2-MIB), onto PACs. This model likewise predicts the adsorption ratio of the same PACs and other PACs in background water containing similar natural organic matter (NOM). When this model is used to predict the same PACs adsorption ratios at 30 and 50 mg L-1, the respective percent sample deviations standard error (SDEV) is of 30% SDEV and 12% were obtained. Further, the model is also employed for the prediction of 2-MIB adsorption capacities for 12 different PACs in water with similar NOM at the same dosages, with average SDEV values of 44% and 28%, respectively. Results indicate that 2-MIB adsorption occurrs mainly through the micropore filling mechanism. Nevertheless, when this model is expanded to predict PAC adsorption of NOM with different properties in water, the results exhibited rather large errors. Though this model cannot be applied to waters containing NOM with different properties, it provides information for water utilities themselves or the ones using similar source water to predict the PAC dosage without any adsorption experiment when change of PAC is needed.
