Abstract
Fenton and Fenton-like processes, which could produce highly reactive species to degrade organic contaminants, have been widely used in the field of wastewater treatment. Therein, the chemistry of Fenton process including the nature of active oxidants, the complicated reactions involved, and the behind reason for its strongly pH-dependent performance, is the basis for the application of Fenton and Fenton-like processes in wastewater treatment. Nevertheless, the conflicting views still exist about the mechanism of the Fenton process. For instance, reaching a unanimous consensus on the nature of active oxidants (hydroxyl radical or tetravalent iron) in this process remains challenging. This review comprehensively examined the mechanism of the Fenton process including the debate on the nature of active oxidants, reactions involved in the Fenton process, and the behind reason for the pH-dependent degradation of contaminants in the Fenton process. Then, we summarized several strategies that promote the Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle, reduce the competitive consumption of active oxidants by side reactions, and replace the Fenton reagent, thus improving the performance of the Fenton process. Furthermore, advances for the future were proposed including the demand for the high-accuracy identification of active oxidants and taking advantages of the characteristic of target contaminants during the degradation of contaminants by the Fenton process.

Abstract
The contamination of water sources with heavy metals, dyes, and other pollutants poses significant challenges to environmental sustainability and public health. Traditional water treatment methods often exhibit limitations in effectively addressing these complex contaminants. In response, recent developments in nanotechnology have catalyzed the exploration of novel materials for water remediation, with nanoparticle-doped zeolites emerging as a promising solution. This comprehensive review synthesizes current literature on the integration of nanoparticles into zeolite frameworks for enhanced contaminant removal in water treatment applications. We delve into synthesis methodologies, elucidate mechanistic insights, and evaluate the efficacy of nanoparticle-doped zeolites in targeting specific pollutants, while also assessing considerations of material stability and environmental impact. The review underscores the superior adsorptive and catalytic properties of nanoparticle-doped zeolites, owing to their high surface area, tailored porosity, and enhanced ion-exchange capabilities. Furthermore, we highlight recent advancements in heavy metal and organic pollutant uptake facilitated by these materials. Additionally, we explore the catalytic degradation of contaminants through advanced oxidation processes, demonstrating the multifunctionality of nanoparticle-doped zeolites in water treatment. By providing a comprehensive analysis of existing research, this review aims to guide future developments in the field, promoting the sustainable utilization of nanoparticle-doped zeolites as efficient and versatile materials for water remediation endeavors.

Innovative strategy for the effective utilization of coal waste slag in the Fenton-like process for the degradation of trichloroethylene. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 365:121441. [PMID: 38897076 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121441] [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: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
In response to environmental concerns at the global level, there is considerable momentum in the exploration of materials derived from waste that are both sustainable and eco-friendly. In this study, CS-Fe (carbon, silica, and iron) composite was synthesized from coal gasification slag (CGS) and innovatively applied as a catalyst to activate PS (persulfate) for the degradation of trichloroethylene (TCE) in water. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), brunauer, emmet, and teller (BET) technique, and x-ray diffractometer (XRD) spectra were employed to investigate the surface morphology and physicochemical composition of the CS-Fe composite. CS-Fe catalyst showed a dual nature by adsorption and degradation of TCE simultaneously, displaying 86.1% TCE removal in 3 h. The synthesized CS-Fe had better adsorption (62.1%) than base material CGS (36.4%) due to a larger BET surface area (770.8 m2 g-1), while 24.0% TCE degradation was recorded upon the activation of PS by CS-Fe. FTIR spectra confirmed the adsorption and degradation of TCE by investigating the used and fresh samples of CS-Fe catalyst. Scavengers and Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis confirmed the availability of surface radicals and free radicals facilitated the degradation process. The acidic nature of the solution favored the degradation while the presence of bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) hindered this process. In conclusion, these results for real groundwater, surfactant-added solution, and degradation of other TCE-like pollutants propose that the CS-Fe composite offers an economically viable and favorable catalyst in the remediation of organic contaminants within aqueous solutions. Further investigation into the catalytic potential of coal gasification slag-based carbon materials and their application in Fenton reactions is warranted to effectively address a range of environmental challenges.

Revisiting the synergistic oxidation of peracetic acid and permanganate(Ⅶ) towards micropollutants: The enhanced electron transfer mechanism of reactive manganese species. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 262:122105. [PMID: 39032336 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.122105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
Synergistic actions of peroxides and high-valent metals have garnered increasing attentions in wastewater treatment. However, how peroxides interact with the reactive metal species to enhance the reactivity remains unclear. Herein, we report the synergistic oxidation of peracetic acid (PAA) and permanganate(Ⅶ) towards micropollutants, and revisit the underlying mechanism. The PAA-Mn(VII) system showed remarkable efficiency with a 28-fold enhancement on sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation compared to Mn(Ⅶ) alone. Extensive quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis revealed the generation of unexpected Mn(V) and Mn(VI) beyond Mn(III) in the PAA-Mn(VII) system. The utilization efficiency of Mn intermediates was quantified using 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonate (ABTS), and the results indicated that PAA could enhance the electron transfer efficiency of reactive manganese (Mn) species, thus accelerating the micropollutant degradation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that Mn intermediates could coordinate to the O1 of PAA with a low energy gap, enhancing the oxidation capacity and stability of Mn intermediates. A kinetic model based on first principles was established to simulate the time-dependent concentration profiles of the PAA-Mn complexes and quantify the contributions of the PAA-Mn(III) complex (50.8 to 59.3 %) and the PAA-Mn(Ⅴ/Ⅵ) complex (40.7 to 49.2 %). The PAA-Mn(VII) system was resistant to the interference from complex matrix components (e.g., chloride and humic acid), leading to the high efficiency in real wastewater. This work provides new insights into the interaction of PAA with reactive manganese species for accelerated oxidation of micropollutants, facilitating its application in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), substances with strong activity generated by oxygen during electron transfer, play a significant role in the decomposition of organic matter in various environmental settings, including soil, water and atmosphere. Although ROS has a short lifespan (ranging from a few nanoseconds to a few days), it continuously generated during the interaction between microorganisms and their environment, especially in environments characterized by strong ultraviolet radiation, fluctuating oxygen concentration or redox conditions, and the abundance of metal minerals. A comprehensive understanding of the fate of ROS in nature can provide new ideas for pollutant degradation and is of great significance for the development of green degradation technologies for organic pollutants. At present, the review of ROS generally revolves around various advanced oxidation processes, but lacks a description and summary of the fate of ROS in nature, this article starts with the definition of reactive oxidants species and reviews the production, migration, and transformation mechanisms of ROS in soil, water and atmospheric environments, focusing on recent developments. In addition, the stimulating effects of ROS on organisms were reviewed. Conclusively, the article summarizes the classic processes, possible improvements, and future directions for ROS-mediated degradation of pollutants. This review offers suggestions for future research directions in this field and provides the possible ROS technology application in pollutants treatment.

Abstract
Transition metal compounds (TMCs) have long been potential candidate catalysts in persulfate-based advanced oxidation process (PS-AOPs) due to their Fenton-like catalyze ability for radical generation. However, the mechanism involved in TMCs-catalyzed nonradical PS-AOPs remains obscure. Herein, the growth of FeO on the Fe3O4/carbon precursor is regulated by restricted pyrolysis of MIL-88A template to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for tetracycline (TC) removal. The higher FeO incorporation conferred a 2.6 times higher degradation performance than that catalyzed by Fe3O4 and also a higher interference resistance to anions or natural organic matter. Unexpectedly, the quenching experiment, probe method, and electron paramagnetic resonance quantitatively revealed that the FeO reassigned high nonradical species (1O2 and FeIV═O) generation to replace original radical system created by Fe3O4. Density functional theory calculation interpreted that PMS molecular on strongly-adsorbed (200) and (220) facets of FeO enjoyed unique polarized electronic reception for surface confinement effect, thus the retained peroxide bond energetically supported the production of 1O2 and FeIV═O. This work promotes the mechanism understanding of TMCs-induced surface-catalyzed persulfate activation and enables them better perform catalytic properties in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
This perspective presents the latest advancements in selective polymerization pathways in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for removal of featured organic pollutants in wastewater. In radical-based homogeneous reactions, SO4• --based systems exhibit superior oxidative activity toward aromatics with electron-donating substituents via single electron transfer and radical adduct formation (RAF). The produced organic radical cations subsequently undergo coupling and polymerization reactions to produce polymers. For •OH-based oxidation, metal ions facilitate the production of monomer radicals via RAF. Additionally, heterogeneous catalysts can mediate both coupling and polymerization reactions via persulfate activation without generating inorganic radicals. Metal-based catalysts will mediate a direct oxidation pathway toward polymerization. In contrast, carbon-based catalysts will induce coupling reactions to produce low-molecular-weight oligomers (≤4 units) via an electron transfer process. In comparison to mineralization, polymerization pathways remarkably reduce peroxide usage, quickly separate pollutants from the aqueous phase, and generate polymeric byproducts. Thus, AOP-driven polymerization systems hold significant promise in reducing carbon emission and realizing carbon recycling in water treatment processes.

Abstract
Strategic modulation of the advanced oxidation processes for the selective oxidation of micropollutants has attracted accumulating attention in water decontamination. This study first reported the combination of the coagulant polyferric sulfate (PFS) and oxidant periodate (PI) to accomplish synergistic abatement of the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The oxidizing performance of SMX by this system was almost unaffected by coexisting water constituents, indicating the great promise of selective oxidation. Different from the current hydroxyl radicals (•OH)-mediated coagulant/oxidant systems (e.g., PFS/H2O2 and PFS/ozone), the dominance of high-valent Fe(IV)/Fe(V) intermediates was unambiguously verified in the PFS/PI treatment. The PFS colloids before and after the oxidation were characterized and the iron speciation was analyzed. The transformation of monomeric iron configurations (Fe(a)) to oligomeric iron configurations (Fe(b)) could maintain the homeostasis of surface-bound Fe(III) and Fe(II). The interaction mechanisms included the production of reactive species and dynamic reaction equilibrium for micropollutant degradation. Finally, the transformation pathways of SMX and carbamazepine (CMZ) in the PFS/PI system were postulated. Overall, this study provided a novel coagulant/oxidant strategy to achieve selective and sustainable water purification.

Abstract
The ubiquity of various organic micropollutants in global water and wastewater has raised considerable concern about their cost-efficient elimination. This study reported that the novel UV365/FeTiOX/S(IV) system could accomplish superior abatement of different micropollutants (e.g., carbamazepine, CMZ) in 30-45 min with excellent reusability and stability of FeTiOX. In addition, this system functioned effectively to remove roxarsone and As(III)/As(V) by catalytic oxidation and adsorption, respectively. Mechanistic investigations suggested the dual roles of S(IV) in enhancing pollutant oxidation, i.e., promoted Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle and photocatalysis. These processes facilitated the continuous generation of multiple oxidizing intermediates (e.g., hydroxyl radicals, sulfate radicals, and singlet oxygen), in which the last one was first proposed as the main contributor in iron-mediated S(IV)-based oxidation processes. Based on the product identification, the transformation pathways of four different micropollutants were tentatively unraveled. The in silico prediction suggested the lower environmental risks of the final reaction products than the precursors. Particularly, the structural alteration of humic acid was analyzed, indicating an increased O/C ratio after oxidative treatment. Overall, this study has implications for developing an efficient oxidation technique for removing multiple micropollutants in water and facilitating the mechanistic reactivity modulation of the S(IV)-based oxidation strategies in water treatment.

Degradation of iopamidol in the permanganate/sulfite process: Evolution of iodine species and effect on the subsequent formation of disinfection by-products. J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 135:345-352. [PMID: 37778809 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2022.11.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
Permanganate/sulfite (Mn(VII)/S(IV)) process is a promising pre-oxidation technology for sequestering the emerging organic contaminants in drinking water treatment plant. Iopamidol (IPM), a representative of iodinated X-ray contrast media, has been widely detected in water sources and has the risk of forming iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) in water treatment system. In this study, we investigated the evolution of iodine species during the IPM degradation by the Mn(VII)/S(IV) process and its effect on the subsequent formation of I-DBPs during chlorination at pH 7.0 and 8.0. IPM could be effectively degraded in the Mn(VII)/S(IV) process at environmentally relevant pH (pH 7.0 and 8.0). The results of quenching and competitive oxidation kinetic experiments revealed that SO4·- was the major reactive oxidizing species contributing to the degradation of IPM whereas the contributions of HO· and reactive manganese species were negligible in the Mn(VII)/S(IV) process. I- and IO3- were generated while no HOI was detected during the degradation of IPM in the Mn(VII)/S(IV) process. The effects of IPM oxidation by Mn(VII)/S(IV) on the subsequent formation of chlorinated disinfection by-products (Cl-DBPs) during chlorination were related to the category of Cl-DBPs. The pre-oxidation of IPM by Mn(VII)/S(IV) resulted in the generation of I-DBPs during the disinfection process although no I-DBPs were detected if no pre-oxidation was applied. The finding of this study suggested that attention should be paid to the toxicity of DBPs when water containing iodinated organic contaminants is treated by Mn(VII)/S(IV) process or other pre-oxidation technologies.

Abstract
Transition metals are excellent active sites to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for water treatment, but the favorable electronic structures governing reaction mechanism still remain elusive. Herein, the authors construct typical d-orbital configurations on iron octahedral (FeOh ) and tetrahedral (FeTd ) sites in spinel ZnFe2 O4 and FeAl2 O4 , respectively. ZnFe2 O4 (136.58 min-1 F-1 cm2 ) presented higher specific activity than FeAl2 O4 (97.47 min-1 F-1 cm2 ) for tetracycline removal by PMS activation. Considering orbital features of charge amount, spin state, and orbital arrangement by magnetic spectroscopic analysis, ZnFe2 O4 has a larger bond order to decompose PMS. Using this descriptor, high-spin FeOh is assumed to activate PMS mainly to produce nonradical reactive oxygen species (ROS) while high-spin FeTd prefers to induce radical species. This hypothesis is confirmed by the selective predominant ROS of 1 O2 on ZnFe2 O4 and O2 •- on FeAl2 O4 via quenching experiments. Electrochemical determinations reveal that FeOh has superior capability than FeTd for feasible valence transformation of iron cations and fast interfacial electron transfer. DFT calculations further suggest octahedral d-orbital configuration of ZnFe2 O4 is beneficial to enhancing Fe-O covalence for electron exchange. This work attempts to understand the d-orbital configuration-dependent PMS activation to design efficient catalysts.

Abstract
Permanganate (Mn(VII)) is extensively applied in water purification due to its stability and ease of handling, but it is a mild oxidant for trace organic contaminants (TrOCs). Hence, there is significant interest in strategies for enhancing reaction kinetics, especially in combination with efficient and economical carbocatalysts. This study compared the performance of four carbocatalysts (graphite, graphene oxide (GO), reduced-GO (rGO), and nitrogen-doped rGO (N-rGO)) in accelerating sulfisoxazole (SSX) oxidation by Mn(VII) and found that GO exhibited the greatest catalytic performance. Besides, the Mn(VII)/GO system shows desirable capacities to remove a broad spectrum of TrOCs. We proposed that the degradation of SSX in Mn(VII)-GO suspensions follows two routes: (i) direct oxidation of SSX by Mn species [both Mn(VII) and in situ formed MnO2(s)] and (ii) a carbocatalyst route, where GO acts as an electron mediator, accepting electrons from SSX and transferring them to Mn(VII). We developed a mathematical model to show the contribution of each parallel pathway and found one-electron transfer is primarily responsible for accelerating SSX removal in the Mn(VII)/GO system. Findings in this study showed that GO provides a simple and effective strategy for enhancing the reactivity of Mn(VII) and provided mechanistic insights into the GO-catalyzed redox reaction between SSX and Mn(VII).

Abstract
Water is one of the most essential components in the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. With worsening global water scarcity, especially in some developing countries, water reuse is gaining increasing acceptance. A key challenge in water treatment by conventional treatment processes is the difficulty of treating low concentrations of pollutants (micromolar to nanomolar) in the presence of much higher levels of inorganic ions and natural organic matter (NOM) in water (or real water matrices). Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have emerged as an attractive treatment technology that generates reactive species with high redox potentials (E0) (e.g., hydroxyl radical (HO˙), singlet oxygen (1O2), sulfate radical (SO4˙-), and high-valent metals like iron(IV) (Fe(IV)), copper(III) (Cu(III)), and cobalt(IV) (Co(IV))). The use of single atom catalysts (SACs) in AOPs and water treatment technologies has appeared only recently. This review introduces the application of SACs in the activation of hydrogen peroxide and persulfate to produce reactive species in treatment processes. A significant part of the review is devoted to the mechanistic aspects of traditional AOPs and their comparison with those triggered by SACs. The radical species, SO4˙- and HO˙, which are produced in both traditional and SACs-activated AOPs, have higher redox potentials than non-radical species, 1O2 and high-valent metal species. However, SO4˙- and HO˙ radicals are non-selective and easily affected by components of water while non-radicals resist the impact of such constituents in water. Significantly, SACs with varying coordination environments and structures can be tuned to exclusively generate non-radical species to treat water with a complex matrix. Almost no influence of chloride, carbonate, phosphate, and NOM was observed on the performance of SACs in treating pollutants in water when nonradical species dominate. Therefore, the appropriately designed SACs represent game-changers in purifying water vs. AOPs with high efficiency and minimal interference from constituents of polluted water to meet the goals of water sustainability.

Abstract
Recently, the degradation of antibiotics has attracted a lot of attention all over the world, because the accumulation of these recalcitrant compounds in the environment, and their entry into the food chain have severely affected on human health. Herein, oxygen vacancy-rich CeO2 was decorated with Cu3BiS3 nanoparticles to fabricate Z-scheme CeO2-x/Cu3BiS3 photocatalysts with a simple procedure. Intriguingly, photocatalytic ability of CeO2-x/Cu3BiS3 (30%) nanocomposite in the detoxification of tetracycline hydrochloride, cephalexin, azithromycin, and rhodamine B was elevated 31.3, 28.2, 45.2, and 10.1-folds as much as CeO2, and 5.19, 5.97, 32.2, and 4.69-folds compared with the CeO2-x photocatalyst, respectively. The admirable activity of CeO2-x/Cu3BiS3 (30%) nanocomposite was ascribed to the production of many charge carriers, efficacious segregation and transfer of charges, and improved textural features, which were confirmed by UV-vis DRS, EIS, photocurrent density, PL, and BET analyses. In addition, the TC degradation pathway was investigated with LC-MS analysis, and also the biocompatibility of the purified solution was displayed with wheat seed cultivation. Regarding outstanding activity and facile synthesis, the CeO2-x/Cu3BiS3 (30%) photocatalyst could be utilized for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The increasing consumption of antibiotics and their subsequent release to wastewater or groundwater and ultimately to the water supply (or drinking water) has great concerns. This paper presents a visible light (VL) activated ferrate(VI) (FeVIO42-, Fe(VI)) system to degrade the selected antibiotic, trimethoprim (TMP), efficiently. An oxygen doped ZnIn2S4 nanosheet (O-ZIS) coupled with a black phosphorus (BP) heterostructure (O-ZIS/BP), is fabricated by a simple electrostatic self-assembly method. The O-ZIS/BP photocatalyst is comprehensively characterized by surface and analytical techniques, which show superior separation efficiency of the photoinduced charge carriers in the heterostructure. A VL-O-ZIS/BP-Fe(VI) system achieves more than 80% removal in 1.0 min and complete removal of TMP in 3.0 min. Comparatively, only ⁓7% and ⁓24% of TMP are degraded by O-ZIS/BP and Fe(VI) in 1.0 min, respectively. The degradation experiments using probe molecules of reactive species and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements reveal involvement of superoxide (O2-•), hydroxyl radical (•OH), and iron(V)/iron (IV) (FeV/FeIV) species in the mechanism of TMP degradation. Oxidized products of TMP are identified and reaction pathways are given. Theoretical calculations predict the initial attack on the TMP molecule by the reactive species in the VL-O-ZIS/BP-Fe(VI) system. The activation of Fe(VI) by VL-heterostructure photocatalysts accelerates the degradation of antibiotics, demonstrating its potential for water depollution.

Selective abatement of electron-rich organic contaminants by trace complexed Mn(II)-catalyzed periodate via high-valent manganese-oxo species. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 460:132447.

Abstract
Mn(II) is among the most efficient catalysts for the periodate (PI)-based oxidation process. In-situ formed colloidal MnO2 simultaneously serves as the catalyst and oxidant during the degradation of organic contaminants by PI. Here, it is revealed that the complexation of Mn(II) by ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) further enhances the performance of PI-based oxidation in the selective degradation of organic contaminants. As evidenced by methyl phenyl sulfoxide probing, 18O-isotope labeling, and mass spectroscopy, EDTA complexation modulates the reaction pathway between Mn(II) and PI, triggering the generation of high-valent manganese-oxo (MnV-oxo) as the dominant reactive species. PI mediates the single-electron oxidation of Mn(II) to Mn(III), which is stabilized by EDTA complexation and then further oxidized by PI via the oxygen-atom transfer step, ultimately producing the MnV-oxo species. Ligands analogous to EDTA, namely, [S,S]-ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid and L-glutamic acid N,N-diacetic acid, also enhances the Mn(II)/PI process and favors MnV-oxo as the dominant species. This study demonstrates that functional ligands can tune the efficiency and reaction pathways of Mn(II)-catalyzed peroxide and peroxyacid-based oxidation processes.

Abstract
Fe(VI) is a versatile agent for water purification, and various strategies have been developed to improve its pollutant removal efficiency. Herein, it was found that in addition to intermediate iron species [Fe(IV)/Fe(V)], direct electron transfer (DET) played a significant role in the abatement of organic pollutants in Fe(VI)/carbon quantum dots (CQDs) system. Around 86, 83, 73, 64, 52, 45 and 17% of BPA, DCF, SMX, 4-CP, phenol, p-HBA, and IBP (6 μM) could be oxidized by 30 μM of Fe(VI), whereas with the addition of CQDs (4 mg/L), the oxidation ratio of these pollutants increased to 98, 99, 80, 88, 87, 66 and 57%, respectively. The negative impact induced by solution pH and background constituents on Fe(VI) abatement of pollutants could be alleviated by CQDs, and CQDs acted as catalysts for mediating DET from organic pollutants to Fe(VI). Theoretical calculation revealed that iron species [Fe(VI)/Fe(V)/Fe(IV)] was responsible for the oxidation of 36% of phenol, while DET contributed to the oxidation of 64% of phenol in the Fe(VI)/CQDs system. Compared with iron species oxidation, the CQDs mediated DET from pollutants to Fe(VI) was more efficient for utilizing the oxidation capacity of Fe(VI). The DET mechanism presented in the study provides a prospective strategy for improving the pollution control potential of Fe(VI).

Abstract
Although permanganate (Mn(VII)) is extensively utilized as a strong oxidizer for the purification of water, the direct reaction rates between some refractory pollutants and Mn(VII) are moderate or relatively low. In this study, we found that 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-3-oxide-1-oxyl (PTIO), could act as a redox mediator to enhance bisphenol A (BPA) degradation by Mn(VII) at pH 5.0 - 9.0, with a removal higher than 80% over 5 min. Moreover, the Mn(VII)/PTIO system is highly efficient toward a broad spectrum of contaminants. Mechanism was elucidated as following: PTIO was oxidized by Mn(VII) to PTIO+, an oxoammonium cation. As a newly generated reactive species, PTIO+ could oxidize organics and be reduced to PTIOH (PTIO hydroxylamine) or PTIO simultaneously. The redox cycle of PTIO in consecutive runs as an electron shuttle proved its stability and reusability in Mn(VII) oxidation. In addition to being an electron shuttle, PTIO also acts as an activator of Mn(VII) to promote the production of MnO2, which plays a vital role in enhancing BPA abatement at the acidic condition. For the purpose of further understanding the interaction between PTIO and target contaminants, three corresponding degradation pathways for BPA were proposed. Notably, the transformation products of BPA coupling with PTIO were detected, indicating PTIO inhibited the self-coupling of BPA and facilitated the ring-opening pathway. In addition, the ubiquitous humic acid has a positive effect on the Mn(VII)/PTIO system, suggesting a high promise of this system for practical application.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023:139442. [PMID: 37422211 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
Periodate-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have received mounting attention in scientific research in the past two decades due to their fair oxidizing capability for satisfactory decontamination performance. Unlike iodyl (IO3•) and hydroxyl (•OH) radicals are widely recognized as the predominant species generated from periodate activation, the role of high-valent metal as a dominant reactive oxidant has been proposed recently. Although several excellent reviews concerning periodate-based AOPs have been reported, there are still prevalent knowledge roadblocks to high-valent metals' formation and reaction mechanisms. Therefore, this work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of high-valent metals, especially concerning the identification methods (e.g., direct and indirect strategies), formation mechanisms (e.g., formation pathways and interpretation based on density functional theory calculation), reaction mechanisms (e.g., nucleophilic attack, electron transfer, oxygen-atom transfer, electrophilic addition, and hydride and hydrogen-atom transfer), and reactivity performance (e.g., chemical properties, influencing factors, and practical applications). Furthermore, points for critical thinking and further prospects for high-valent metal-mediated oxidation processes are suggested, emphasizing the need for parallel efforts to enhance the stability and reproducibility of high-valent metal-mediated oxidation processes in real world applications.

Abstract
Emerging contaminants can be removed effectively in heterogeneous Fenton-like systems. Currently, catalyst activity and contaminant removal mechanisms have been studied extensively in Fenton-like systems. However, a systematic summary was lacking. This review summarized: 1) The effects of various heterogeneous catalysts on emerging contaminants degradation by activating H2O2; 2) The role of active sites in different catalysts during the activation of H2O2 and their contribution to the generation of active species; 3) The modulation of degradation pathways of emerging contaminants. This paper will help scholars to advance the controlled construction of active sites in heterogeneous Fenton-like systems. Suitable heterogeneous Fenton catalysts can be selected in practical water treatment processes.

Algal organic matter and dissolved Mn cooperatively accelerate 17α-ethinylestradiol photodegradation: Role of photogenerated reactive Mn(III). WATER RESEARCH 2023; 236:119980. [PMID: 37080107 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119980] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Algal extracellular organic matter (EOM), a major fraction of the dissolved organic matter found in eutrophic plateau lakes, can act as a photosensitizer to drive the abiotic oxidation of Mn(II). This process has the potential to generate reactive Mn(III) and influence the fate of organic pollutants. In this study, the photodegradation of 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) in the presence of Mn(II) and EOM was investigated with emphasis on the photogeneration mechanism of Mn(III). The results indicated that Mn(II) can accelerate EE2 photodegradation in EOM solution owing to the photogeneration of reactive Mn(III), and the enhancement was greater at higher Mn(II) concentrations. The generation of reactive Mn(III) was mainly attributable to the action of superoxide radical generated by photosensitization of EOM. In addition, the photodegradation of EE2 was slower at higher pH, possibly because of the deactivation of Mn(III) under alkaline conditions. Single-electron transfer was an indispensable process in the photodegradation. The differences in fluorophore content, pH, and NO3- concentrations are all important determinants for EE2 photodegradation in natural waters. The information obtained in this research would contribute to the understanding of reactions between Mn(II) and EOM, and provide new insights into the behaviors of reactive Mn(III) in eutrophic water irradiated by sunlight.

Mn(VII) enhanced by CaSO 3 to remove trace organic pollutants in high salt organic wastewater: Further enhancement of salinity. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 334:138964. [PMID: 37211162 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
The high concentration of salt in organic wastewater has a strong inhibitory effect on the removal of pollutants. A method for the efficient removal of trace pollutants in high-salinity organic wastewater was developed. This study investigated the effect of the combination of permanganate [Mn(VII)] and calcium sulfite [S(IV)] on pollutant removal in hypersaline wastewater. The Mn(VII)-CaSO3 system removed more pollutants from high-salinity organic wastewater than from normal-salinity wastewater. Chloride (increasing from 1 M to 5 M) and low concentration of sulfate (increasing from 0.05 M to 0.5 M) significantly enhanced the system's resistance to pollutants under neutral conditions. Despite the fact that Cl- can combine with the free radicals in the system and reduce their efficiency in removing pollutants, the presence of chloride ions greatly enhances the electron transfer rate in the system, promoting the conversion of Mn(VII) to Mn(III) and significantly increasing the reaction rate of Mn(III) as the primary active species. Therefore, chloride salts can greatly enhance the removal of organic pollutants by Mn(VII)-CaSO3. Although sulfate does not react with free radicals, a high concentration of sulfate (1 M) will affect the formation of Mn(III), which greatly weakens the removal effect of the entire system on pollutants. The system can still have a good pollutant removal effect with mixed salt. Altogether, this study demonstrates that the Mn(VII)-CaSO3 system offers new possibilities for the treatment of organic pollutants in hypersaline wastewater.

Abstract
Oxidative degradation can effectively degrade aromatic emerging contaminants (ECs). However, the degradability of lone inorganic/biogenic oxides or oxidases is typically limited when treating polycyclic ECs. Herein, we report a dual-dynamic oxidative system comprising engineered Pseudomonas and biogenic Mn oxides (BMO), which completely degrades diclofenac (DCF), a representative halogen-containing polycyclic EC. Correspondingly, recombinant Pseudomonas sp. MB04R-2 was constructed via gene deletion and chromosomal insertion of a heterologous multicopper oxidase cotA, allowing for enhanced Mn(II)-oxidizing activity and rapid formation of the BMO aggregate complex. Additionally, we characterized it as a micro/nanostructured ramsdellite (MnO2) composite using multiple-phase composition and fine structure analyses. Furthermore, using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, gene knockout, and expression complementation of oxygenase genes, we demonstrated the central and associative roles of intracellular oxygenases and cytogenic/BMO-derived free radicals (FRs) in degrading DCF and determined the effects of FR excitation and quenching on the DCF degradation efficiency. Finally, after identifying the degraded intermediates of 2H-labeled DCF, we constructed the DCF metabolic pathway. In addition, we evaluated the degradation and detoxification effects of the BMO composite on DCF-containing urban lake water and on biotoxicity in zebrafish embryos. Based on our findings, we proposed a mechanism for oxidative degradation of DCF by associative oxygenases and FRs.

Abstract
At present, numerous heterogeneous catalysts have been synthesized to activate persulfate (PS) and produce various reactive species for antibiotic degradation from water. However, the systematic summary of the correlation among catalyst active sites, PS activation pathway and pollutant degradation has not been reported. This review summarized the effect of metal-based, carbon-based and metal-carbon composite catalysts on the degradation of antibiotics by activating PS. Metal and non-metal sites are conducive to inducing different oxidation pathways (SO4•-, •OH radical oxidation and 1O2 oxidation, mediated electron transfer, surface-bound reactive complexes and high-valent metal oxidation). SO4•- and •OH are easy to attack CH, S-N, CN bonds, CC double bonds and amino groups in antibiotics. 1O2 is more selective to the structure of the aniline ring and amino group, and also to attacking CS, CN and CH bonds. Surface-bound active species can cleave CC, SN, CS and CN bonds. Other non-radical pathways may also induce different antibiotic degradation routes due to differences in oxidation potential and electronic properties. This critical review clarified the functions of active sites in producing different reactive species for selective oxidation of antibiotics via featured pathways. The outcomes will provide valuable guidance of oriented-regulation of active sites in heterogeneous catalysts to produce on-demand reactive species toward high-efficiency removing antibiotics from water.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) attracts much attention in persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs), because of its wide pH tolerance and high selectivity toward electron-rich organics. However, there are conflicts about the 1O2 role in PS-AOPs on several aspects, including the formation of different key reactive oxygen species (ROS) at similar active sites, pH dependence, broad-spectrum activity, and selectivity in the elimination of organic pollutants. To a large degree, these conflicts root in the drawbacks of the methods to identify and evaluate the role of 1O2. For example, the quenchers of 1O2 have high reactivity to other ROS and persulfate as well. In addition, electron transfer process (ETP) also selectively oxidizes organics, having a misleading effect on the identification of 1O2. Therefore, in this review, we summarized and discussed some basic properties of 1O2, the debatable role of 1O2 in PS-AOPs on multiple aspects, and the methods and their drawbacks to identify and evaluate the role of 1O2. On the whole, this review aims to better understand the role of 1O2 in PS-AOPs and further help with its reasonable utilization.

Abstract
Benzophenones (BPs) are commonly used as UV filters in cosmetics and plastics products and are potentially toxic to the environment. This paper presents kinetics and products of BPs oxidation by ferrate(VI) (FeO42-, Fe(VI)) promoted by permanganate (Mn(VII)) . Degradation of 10.0 µM 2,2'-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (BP-8)were determined under different experimental conditions ([Mn(VII)] = 0.5-1.5 µM, [Fe(VI)] = 50-150 µM, and pH = 7.0-10.0). The addition of Mn(VII) traces to Fe(VI)-BP-8 solution enhanced kinetics and efficiency of the removal. Similar enhanced removals were also seen for other BPs (BP-1, BP-3, and BP-4) under optimized conditions. The second-order rate constants (k, M-1s-1) of the degradation of BPs showed positive relationship with the energy of the highest occupied orbital (EHOMO). The possible interaction between Mn(VII) and BP-8 and the enhanced generation of Fe(V)/Fe(IV) and •OH was proposed to facilitate the oxidation of the target benzophenone, supported by in-situ electrochemical measurements, theoretical calculations and reactive species quenching experiments. Thirteen oxidation products of BP-8 suggested hydroxylation, bond breaking, polymerization and carboxylation steps in the oxidation. Toxicity assessments by ECOSAR program showed that the oxidized intermediate products posed a tapering ecological risk during the degradation process. Overall, the addition of Mn(VII) could improve the oxidation efficiency of Fe(VI).

Abstract
The presence of organic micropollutants in water sources worldwide has created a need for the development of effective and selective oxidation methods in complex water matrices. This study is the first report of the combination of ferrate(VI) (Fe(VI)) and periodate (PI) for synergistic, rapid, and selective elimination of multiple micropollutants. This combined system was found to outperform other Fe(VI)/oxidant systems (e.g., H2O2, peroxydisulfate, and peroxymonosulfate) in rapid water decontamination. Scavenging, probing, and electron spin resonance experiments showed that high-valent Fe(IV)/Fe(V) intermediates, rather than hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals, singlet oxygen, and iodyl radicals, played a dominant role in the process. Further, the generation of Fe(IV)/Fe(V) was evidenced directly by the 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopic test. Surprisingly, the reactivity of PI toward Fe(VI) is rather low (0.8223 M-1 s-1) at pH 8.0, implying that PI was not acting as an activator. Besides, as the only iodine sink of PI, iodate also played an enhanced role in micropollutant abatement by Fe(VI) oxidation. Further experiments proved that PI and/or iodate might function as the Fe(IV)/Fe(V) ligands, causing the utilization efficiency of Fe(IV)/Fe(V) intermediates for pollutant oxidation to outcompete their auto-decomposition. Finally, the oxidized products and plausible transformation pathways of three different micropollutants by single Fe(VI) and Fe(VI)/PI oxidation were characterized and elucidated. Overall, this study proposed a novel selective oxidation strategy (i.e., Fe(VI)/PI system) that could efficiently eliminate water micropollutants and clarified the unexpected interactions between PI/iodate and Fe(VI) for accelerated oxidation.

Abstract
The mechanistic study of soil and groundwater remediation in petroleum contaminated lands significantly demands rapid qualitative and quantitative identification of petroleum substances. However, most traditional detection methods cannot provide the on-site or in-situ information of petroleum compositions and contents simultaneously even with multi-spot sampling and complex sample preparation. In this work, we developed a strategy for the on-site detection of petroleum compositions and in-situ monitoring of petroleum contents in soil and groundwater using dual-excitation Raman spectroscopy and microscopy. The detection time was 0.5 h for the Extraction-Raman spectroscopy method and one minute for the Fiber-Raman spectroscopy method. The limit of detection was 94 ppm for the soil samples and 0.46 ppm for the groundwater samples. Meanwhile, the petroleum changes at the soil-groundwater interface were successfully observed by Raman microscopy during the in-situ chemical oxidation remediation processes. The results revealed that hydrogen peroxide oxidation released petroleum from the interior to the surface of soil particles and then to groundwater during the remediation process, while persulfate oxidation only degraded petroleum on the soil surface and in groundwater. This Raman spectroscopic and microscopic method can shed light on the petroleum degradation mechanism in contaminated lands, and facilitate the selection of suitable soil and groundwater remediation plans.

Abstract
The occurrence of micropollutants in water threatens public health and ecology. Removal of micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals by a green oxidant, ferrate(VI) (FeVIO42-, Fe(VI)) can be accomplished. However, electron-deficient pharmaceuticals, such as carbamazepine (CBZ) showed a low removal rate by Fe(VI). This work investigates the activation of Fe(VI) by adding nine amino acids (AA) of different functionalities to accelerate the removal of CBZ in water under mild alkaline conditions. Among the studied amino acids, proline, a cyclic AA, had the highest removal of CBZ. The accelerated effect of proline was ascribed by demonstrating the involvement of highly reactive intermediate Fe(V) species, generated by one-electron transfer by the reaction of Fe(VI) with proline (i.e., Fe(VI) + proline → Fe(V) + proline•). The degradation kinetics of CBZ by a Fe(VI)-proline system was interpreted by kinetic modeling of the reactions involved that estimated the rate of the reaction of Fe(V) with CBZ as (1.03 ± 0.21) × 106 M-1 s-1, which was several orders of magnitude greater than that of Fe(VI) of 2.25 M-1 s-1. Overall, natural compounds such as amino acids may be applied to increase the removal efficiency of recalcitrant micropollutants by Fe(VI).

Abstract
Iron complexes of tetra-amido macrocyclic ligands (Fe-TAML) are recognized to be effective catalysts for the degradation of a wide range of organic contaminants in homogeneous conditions with the high valent Fe(IV) and Fe(V) species generated on activation of the Fe-TAML complex by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) recognized to be powerful oxidants. Electrochemical activation of Fe-TAML would appear an attractive alternative to H2O2 activation, especially if the Fe-TAML complex could be attached to the anode, as this would enable formation of high valent iron species at the anode and, importantly, retention of the valuable Fe-TAML complex within the reaction system. In this work, we affix Fe-TAML to the surface of carbon black particles and apply this "suspension anode" process to oxidize selected target compounds via generation of high valent iron species. We show that the overpotential for Fe(IV) formation is 0.17 V lower than the potential required to generate Fe(IV) electrochemically in homogeneous solution and also show that the stability of the Fe(IV) species is enhanced considerably compared to the homogeneous Fe-TAML case. Application of the carbon black-supported Fe-TAML suspension anode reactor to degradation of oxalate and hydroquinone with an initial pH value of 3 resulted in oxidation rate constants that were up to three times higher than could be achieved by anodic oxidation in the absence of Fe-TAML and at energy consumptions per order of removal substantially lower than could be achieved by alternate technologies.

Abstract
Manganese ion [Mn(II)] is a background constituent existing in natural waters. Herein, it was found that only 59% of bisphenol A (BPA), 47% of bisphenol F (BPF), 65% of acetaminophen (AAP), and 49% of 4-tert-butylphenol (4-tBP) were oxidized by 20 μM of Fe(VI), while 97% of BPA, 95% of BPF, 96% of AAP, and 94% of 4-tBP could be oxidized by the Fe(VI)/Mn(II) system [20 μM Fe(VI)/20 μM Mn(II)] at pH 7.0. Further investigations showed that bisphenol S (BPS) was highly reactive with reactive iron species (RFeS) but was sluggish with reactive manganese species (RMnS). By using BPS and methyl phenyl sulfoxide (PMSO) as the probe compounds, it was found that reactive iron species contributed primarily for BPA oxidation at low Mn(II)/Fe(VI) molar ratios (below 0.1), while reactive manganese species [Mn(VII)/Mn(III)] contributed increasingly for BPA oxidation with the elevation of the Mn(II)/Fe(VI) molar ratio (from 0.1 to 3.0). In the interaction of Mn(II) and Fe(VI), the transfer of oxidation capacity from Fe(VI) to Mn(III), including the formation of Mn(VII) and the inhibition of Fe(VI) self-decay, improved the amount of electron equivalents per Fe(VI) for BPA oxidation. UV-vis spectra and dominant transformation product analysis further revealed the evolution of iron and manganese species at different Mn(II)/Fe(VI) molar ratios.
