J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 672:688-699. [PMID: 38865882 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a series of Fe-based materials are facilely synthesized using MIL-88A and melamine as precursors. Changing the mass ratio of melamine and MIL-88A could tune the coating layers of generated zero-valent iron (Fe0) particles from Fe3C to Fe3N facilely. Compared to Fe/Fe3N@NC sample, Fe/Fe3C@NC exhibits better catalytic activity and stability to degrade carbamazepine (CBZ) with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) as oxidant. Free radical quenching tests, open-circuit potential (OCP) test and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra (EPR) prove that hydroxyl radicals (OH) and superoxide radical (O2-) are dominant reactive oxygen species (ROSs) with Fe/Fe3C@NC sample. For Fe/Fe3N@NC sample, the main ROSs are changed into sulfate radicals (SO4-) and high valent iron-oxo (Fe (IV)=O) species. In addition, the better conductivity of Fe3C is beneficial for the electron transfer from Fe0 to the Fe3C, thus could keep the activity of the surface sites and obtain better stability. DFT calculation reveals the better adsorption and activation ability of Fe3C than Fe3N. Moreover, PMS can also be adsorbed on the Fe sites of Fe3N with shorter FeO bonds and longer SO bonds than on Fe3C, the Fe (IV)=O is thus present in the Fe/Fe3N@NC/PMS system. This study provides a novel strategy for the development of highly active Fe-based materials for Fenton-like reactions and thus could promote their real application.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 944:173839. [PMID: 38871317 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
The persulfate-based electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (PS-EAOPs) exhibit distinctive advantages in the degradation of emerging contaminants (ECs) and have garnered significant attention among researchers, leading to a consistent surge in related research publications over the past decade. Regrettably, there is still a lack of a critical review gaining deep into understanding of ECs degradation by PS-EAOPs. To address the knowledge gaps, in this review, the mechanism of electro-activated PS at the interface of the electrodes (anode, cathode and particle electrodes) is elaborated. The correlation between these electrode materials and the activation mechanism of PS is systematically discussed. The strategies for improving the performance of electrode material that determining the efficiency of PS-EAOPs are also summarized. Then, the applications of PS-EAOPs for the degradation of ECs are described. Finally, the challenges and outlook of PS-EAOPs are discussed. In summary, this review offers valuable guidance for the degradation of ECs by PS-EAOPs.

Abstract
Creating a microenvironment for enhanced peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is vital in advanced oxidation processes. The objective of this study was to fabricate nanoshells composed of titanium dioxide embedded with cobalt titanate nanoparticles of perovskite to act as nanoreactors for effectively initiating PMS and degrading contaminants. The unique porous structure and confined space of the nanoreactor facilitated reactant absorption and mass transfer to the active sites, resulting in exceptional catalytic performance for pollutant elimination. Experimental findings revealed close to 100% decomposition efficiency of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) within an hour utilizing the nanoreactors over a wide pH range. The TiO2/CoTiO3 hollow nanoshells catalysts also displayed adaptability in disintegrating organic dyes and antibiotics. The radicals SO4•-, •OH, and non-radicals 1O2 were determined to be accountable for eliminating pollutants, as supported by trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra. The catalyst was confirmed as an electron donor and PMS as an electron acceptor through electrochemical tests and density functional theory calculations. This study underscores the potential of incorporating stable perovskite catalysts in hollow nanoreactors to enhance wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Electro-Fenton (EF) can in-situ produce H2O2 and effectively activate H2O2 to generate powerful reactive species for the destruction of contaminants under acidic conditions, however, the production of iron-containing sludge and requirement of low working pH significantly hinder its practical application. Herein, a novel Cu, N co-doped carbon (Cu-N@C) with metal organic framework (MOF) as a precursor was constructed and adopted for the elimination of pefloxacin (PEF) in the heterogeneous electro-Fenton (HEF) process. PEF could be almost completely removed within 1 h and total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency was 48.57% within 6 h. Meanwhile, Cu-N@C had good repeatability and environmental adaptability, it can still maintain excellent catalytic performance after 10 cycles, and it exhibited satisfactory remediation performance in simulated water matrix. In addition, the HEF process catalyzed by Cu-N@C also showed satisfactory degradation effect on other organic pollutants including atrazine, methylene blue, and chlorotetracycline. Under the action of impressed current, the HEF system could generate H2O2 in-situ, and the active species could be generated in the redox cycle of Cu0/Cu1+/Cu2+. Electron paramagnetic resonance and quenching experiments confirmed that •OH was the dominant active species in the degradation of organic compounds. The degradation process of PEF was studied by mass spectrometry analysis of intermediate products. This study provided a simple method to prepare MOF-based electrocatalyst, which exhibits promising application potential for treatment wastewater.

Abstract
The transition metals redox rate limitations of spinel oxides during Fenton-like reactions hinder its efficient and sustainable treatment of actual wastewater. Herein, we propose to optimize the electronic structure of Co-Mn spinel oxide (CM) via sulfur doping and carbon matrix anchoring synergistically, enhancing the radicals-nonradicals Fenton-like processes for efficient water decontamination. Activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) with optimised spinel oxide (CMSAC) achieved near-complete removal of ofloxacin (10 mg/L) within 6 min, showing 8.4 times higher efficiency than CM group. Significantly higher yields of SO4·- and high-valent metal species in CMSAC/PMS system provided exceptional resistance to co-existing anions, enabling efficient removal of various emerging contaminants in high salinity leachate. Specifically, sulfur coordination and carbon anchoring-induced oxygen vacancy synergistically improved the electronic structure and electron transfer efficiency of CMSAC, thus forming highly reactive Co sites and significantly reducing the energy barrier for Co(IV)=O generation. The reductive sulfur species facilitated the conversion of Co(III) to Co(II), thereby maintaining the stability of the catalytic activity of CMSAC. This work developed a synergistic optimization strategy to overcome the metals redox rate limitations of spinel oxides in Fenton-like reactions, providing deep mechanistic insights for designing Fenton-like catalysts suitable for practical applications.

Abstract
Persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for pollutant removal have attracted extensive interest, but some controversies about the identification of reactive species were usually observed. This critical review aims to comprehensively introduce basic concepts and rectify cognitive biases and appeals to pay more attention to experimental details in PS-AOPs, so as to accurately explore reaction mechanisms. The review scientifically summarizes the character, generation, and identification of different reactive species. It then highlights the complexities about the analysis of electron paramagnetic resonance, the uncertainties about the use of probes and scavengers, and the necessities about the determination of scavenger concentration. The importance of the choice of buffer solution, operating mode, terminator, and filter membrane is also emphasized. Finally, we discuss current challenges and future perspectives to alleviate the misinterpretations toward reactive species and reaction mechanisms in PS-AOPs.

Abstract
Carbon-driven advanced oxidations show great potential in water purification, but regulating structures and properties of carbon-based catalysts to achieve ultrafast Fenton-like reactions remains challenging. Herein, a biomorphic diatomite-based catalyst (BD-C) with Si-O doping was prepared using natural diatomite as silicon source and porous template. The results showed that the metal-free BD-C catalyst exhibited ultrafast oxidation performances (0.95-2.58 min-1) towards a variety of pollutants in PMS-based Fenton-like reaction, with the Fenton-like activity of metal-free catalyst comparable to metal-based catalysts or even single-atom catalysts. Pollutants (e.g., CP, BPA, TC, and PCM) with electron-donating groups exhibited extremely low PMS decomposition with overwhelmed electron transfer process (ETP), while high PMS consumption was induced by the addition of electron-withdrawing pollutants (e.g., MNZ and ATZ), which was dominated by radical oxidation. The BD-C/PMS system also showed a high ability to resist the environmental interference. In-depth theoretical investigations demonstrated that the coordination of Si-O can lower the potential barrier of PMS activation for accelerating the generation of radicals, and also promote the electron transfer from pollutants to the BD-C/PMS complexes. In addition, BD-C was deposited onto a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (PTFEM) with 100% of pollutants removal over 10 h, thereby revealing the promising prospects of utilizing BD-C for practical applications.

Abstract
Chalcopyrite, renowned for its distinctive mixed redox-couple characteristics, exhibits excellent electron transfer properties both on its surface and within its crystal structure. This unique characteristic has attracted significant attention in various fields, including optics, electronics, and magnetism, as well as demonstrated remarkable catalytic efficacy in the environmental field. The rapid and effective electron transfer capability of a catalyst is crucial for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). However, the performance of CuFeS2 in AOPs is hindered by its low electron transfer efficacy. This review aims to summarize the key steps and mechanisms of chalcopyrite-induced AOPs and provide strategies for enhancing effective electron transfer efficacies by controlling the structure and function of synthetic/natural chalcopyrite. These strategies include enhancing the catalytic performance of chalcopyrite and constructing composites to enhance catalytic activity (e.g., chelating agents, heterojunctions). Additionally, the factors influencing the generation of reactive oxygen species in chalcopyrite-induced AOPs are investigated, such as the types and properties of oxidants (e.g., H2O2, peroxymonocarbonate), the microstructure of catalysts, and reaction conditions in catalytic systems (e.g., pH values, dosage, temperature). Future perspectives on the applications of chalcopyrite are presented at the end of this paper. Overall, this review assists in narrowing the scope of chalcopyrite studies in AOPs and aids researchers in optimizing synthetic/natural catalysts for contaminant treatment.

Abstract
The application of microwave/peroxymonosulfate (MW/PMS) in soil remediation has been limited by some shortages including low utilization efficiency of oxidants, low MW absorption capacity of soil particles and incomplete degradation of intermediate. In this study, heating pad waste (HPW) was added in the MW/PMS system to increase the ability of absorbing MW and degradation efficiency of toxic intermediate. A two-stage method for degradation of chlorpyrifos (CPF) and its intermediate 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) by MW/PMS assisted with HPW was proposed. In the first stage, more than 90% of CPF was degraded within 15 min before the addition of HPW, and most of the CPF was converted into TCP through direct or indirect pathways under the action of 1O2. In the second stage, more than 70% of the generated TCP was rapidly degraded through SO4•- oxidation and electron transfer. The TCP was further degraded with the assistance of HPW through methylation, hydroxylation and dechlorination etc., and the toxicity of degradation products was decreased significantly. pH and soil organic matter had little influences on CPF and TCP degradation. Therefore, a new strategy for remediation of CPF contaminated-soil was provided based on MW/PMS technology and the concept of "treating waste with waste".

Abstract
Antibiotic pollution has raised widely attention due to the difficult biodegradation and lasting toxicity to public health, metal-free material based heterogeneous catalysis is a highly-promise and eco-friendly technology for organics elimination. Herein, boron doped biomass carbon fiber (B-CF) was synthesized to construct orderly electron transport channels for enhancing catalytic performance and deeply purifying organics polluted water. Integrating systematical quenching experiments and EPR detection, O2·- and 1O2 are found to be dominating reactive oxygen species (ROS) for norfloxacin (NOR) degradation rather than ∙OH or SO4∙-. Adsorption, catalytic degradation in pristine CF/peroxodisulfate (PDS) and B-CF/PDS systems, electrochemical tests, and theory calculations were compared and the results suggested B-CF surface can trigger intense electron transfer via simultaneous activating NOR and PDS, and electrons transferred from NOR to B-CF-PDS compound, resulting in selective and remarkably enhanced ROS generation. Moreover, it was found that B-CF exhibited surprising adsorption capacity for NOR (834.4 mg g-1), and it can also remove SO42- from the solution through electrostatic attraction. This B-CF/PDS system is efficient within a wide operation pH from 3 to 11 and exhibits long lasting activity (> 274 h maintaining over 80% efficiency). This study unveils the highly selective formation of O2-· and 1O2 and solves the short lifetime of catalysts in persulfate-based catalysis, which provides feasible technology for advanced water purification.

Abstract
Future renewable energy supply and green, sustainable environmental development rely on various types of catalytic reactions. Copper single-atom catalysts (Cu SACs) are attractive due to their distinctive electronic structure (3d orbitals are not filled with valence electrons), high atomic utilization, and excellent catalytic performance and selectivity. Despite numerous optimization studies are conducted on Cu SACs in terms of energy conversion and environmental purification, the coupling among Cu atoms-support interactions, active sites, and catalytic performance remains unclear, and a systematic review of Cu SACs is lacking. To this end, this work summarizes the recent advances of Cu SACs. The synthesis strategies of Cu SACs, metal-support interactions between Cu single atoms and different supports, modification methods including modification for carriers, coordination environment regulating, site distance effect utilizing, and dual metal active center catalysts constructing, as well as their applications in energy conversion and environmental purification are emphatically introduced. Finally, the opportunities and challenges for the future Cu SACs development are discussed. This review aims to provide insight into Cu SACs and a reference for their optimal design and wide application.

Cheng D, Yang D, Pan Y, Tan Y, Ma R, Chen B, He F. Insights into persulfate activation by dicyandiamide-derived carbon for 2,4-dichlorophenol degradation: Roles of nitrogen doping and defective carbon atoms. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 910:168679. [PMID: 37992828 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a dicyandiamide residue-derived carbon material (DWC-800) was fabricated through a two-step process involving ball-milling nitrogen (N) doping and high-temperature annealing, and then utilized for peroxodisulfate (PDS) activation in the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP). The obtained DWC-800, with very low N content (0.52 at.%), exhibited highly efficient PDS activation, resulting in complete removal of 2,4-DCP in 60 min. This performance was superior to that of the material with high N content (15.4 at.%), which was prepared using only one-step ball-milling N doping. The N-doped process increased the defective degree of carbocatalyst, and these reactive carbon defects rather than N species greatly improved the adsorption and catalytic activity. The results of quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance demonstrated that PDS activation by DWC-800 for 2,4-DCP degradation followed a nonradical pathway, leading to the production of both singlet oxygen (1O2) and carbon-PDS* complex. Notably, electron transfer mediated by the carbon-PDS* complex played a significant role in the degradation of 2,4-DCP. Overall, this study gets new insights into the role of N doping in mediating the structural properties of the carbocatalyst and its catalytic performance, and provides a theoretical basis for the utilization of dicyandiamide waste residue for wastewater remediation.

Prussian blue analogues-derived zero valent iron to efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate for phenol degradation triggered via reactive oxygen species and high-valent iron-oxo complexes. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 237:116962. [PMID: 37619634 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
It is of great significance to develop the effective technique to treat phenol-containing wastewater. Herein, Fe-based prussian blue analogues-derived zero valent iron (ZVI) was successfully synthesized by one-step calcination method. Owing to high specific surface area and rich active sites, ZVI-2 possessed excellent performance in charge transfer. Notably, in comparison with conventional ZVI and Fe2+, ZVI-2 can effectively activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for achieving rapid degradation of phenol, and the highest removal efficiency of phenol reached 94.9% within 24 min. More importantly, developed ZVI-2/PMS oxidation system with good stability displayed strong anti-interference capability. Interestingly, Fe0 loaded on the surface of ZVI-2 can efficiently break the O-O bond of PMS to generate reactive oxygen species (i.e., SO4•-, OH•, O2•- and 1O2). As main adsorption sites of PMS, the existence of oxygen vacancy promote the formation of high-valent transition metal complexes (namely ZVI-2≡Fe4+=O). Under the combined action of reactive oxygen species and ZVI-2≡Fe4+=O, phenol can be eventually degraded into CO2 and H2O. The possible degradation pathways of phenol were also investigated. Furthermore, proposed ZVI-2/PMS oxidation system displayed great potential for application in the field of wastewater treatment. All in all, current work provided a valuable reference for design and application of Fe-based catalysts in PS-AOPs.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2303876.

Abstract
Inadequate photo-generated charge separation, migration, and utilization efficiency limit the photocatalytic efficiency. Herein, a MoS2 /MIL-53(Fe) photocatalyst/activator with the S-scheme heterojunction structure is designed and the charge migration behavior is modulated by the internal electric field (IEF). The IEF intensity is enhanced to 40 mV by modulating band bending potential and the depletion layer length of MoS2 . The photo-generated electron migration process is boosted by constructing the electron migration bridge (Fe-O-S) and modulating the IEF as the driving force, confirmed by the density functional theory calculation. Compared with the pristine materials, the photocurrent density of MoS2 /MIL-53(Fe) is significantly enhanced 27.5 times. Contributed by the visible-light-driven cooperative catalytic degradation and the high-efficiency direct photo-generated electron reduction dichlorination process, satisfactory chlorinated antibiotics removal and detoxification performances are achieved. This study opens up new insights into the application of heterojunctions in photocatalytic activation of PDS in environmental remediation.

Oh SY, Kim JH. Degradation of phenol by perborate in the presence of iron-bearing and carbonaceous materials. RSC Adv 2023; 13:32833-32841.

Abstract
We investigated the oxidation of phenol by perborate-a newly proposed oxidant-in the presence of iron-bearing and carbonaceous materials through batch experiments. We hypothesized that the oxidation of phenol by perborate was enhanced due to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of iron-bearing or carbonaceous materials. Zero-valent iron and ferrous iron (Fe2+) promoted the oxidation of phenol by perborate. Biochar, granular activated carbon, an anode carbonaceous material recovered from a spent Li-ion battery, and graphite also accelerated the oxidation of phenol by perborate. Quenching experiments with radical scavengers and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis revealed that hydroxyl (˙OH) and superoxide (O2˙-) radicals were generated and enhanced the degradation of phenol in the perborate systems. Singlet oxygen (1O2) was involved in the iron-bearing material-perborate systems. Moreover, we found that Persil®, a commercial perborate detergent, enhances the oxidation of phenol in the presence of iron-bearing and carbonaceous materials. Our results suggest that perborate can be used for advanced oxidation processes to remediate recalcitrant organic contaminants in natural environments and engineered systems.

Target-prepared sludge biochar-derived synergistic Mn and N/O induces high-performance periodate activation for reactive iodine radicals generation towards ofloxacin degradation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 460:132362.

Abstract
Converting waste activated sludge into catalysts for the removal of antibiotics in water fulfils the dual purpose of waste-to-resource and hazardous pollution elimination. In this study, sludge-derived biochar (SDB) for efficient periodate (PI) activation was first prepared via one-step pyrolysis of potassium permanganate-polyhexamethylenebiguanide conditioned sludge without additional modification. The SDB (750 °C)-PI system degraded 100% ofloxacin (OFL, 41.5 μM) within 6 min and was almost undisturbed by inorganic ions or humic acids. The experimental results confirmed that the predominant role of reactive iodine species (RIS) and the auxiliary involvement of singlet oxygen (1O2) jointly contributed to the OFL degradation. Theoretical calculations further indicated that the synergy between Mn and N/O induced local charge redistribution and improved electron transfer capability of SDB, leading to the formation of electron-rich Mn sites and enhanced Mn(II)↔Mn(III)↔Mn(IV) redox to promote PI activation. More importantly, the enhanced adsorption and charge transfer of PI on the Mn site of the Mn-N/O-C structures induced the I-O bond stretching and the rapid generation of RIS. This study offered a cost-effective strategy for developing SDB-based catalysts, further advancing the comprehension of sludge management and the intricate mechanisms underlying RIS formation in PI-advanced oxidation processes.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 460:132401.

Abstract
The peracetic acid (PAA)-activation process has attracted much attention in wastewater treatment. However, the low electron efficiency at the interface between heterogeneous catalysts and PAA has affected its practical application. For this study, we developed a carbon nitride hollow-nanotube catalysts with dispersed Cu(I) sites (Cu(I)-TCN) for the photocatalytic activation of PAA for antibiotics degradation. The obtained Cu(I)-TCN catalyst demonstrated an enhanced capacity for visible light harvesting along with increased charge transfer rates. Specifically, the developed Cu(I)-TCN/visible light/PAA system was able to completely remove antibiotics within 20 min, with a kinetic constant that was 25 times higher than a Cu(I)-TCN/visible light system, and 83 times higher than Cu(I)-TCN/PAA systems. Scavenging experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) indicated that singlet oxygen was dominant reactive specie for sulfisoxazole (SIZ) removal. Besides, electrochemical tests and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy verified that the electron transfer efficiency of PAA activation was promoted due to the formation of inner-sphere interactions between PAA and Cu(I)-TCN, resulting in the quick removal of antibiotics. Further, after exposure to visible light, the Cu(I)-TCN excited photogenerated electrons which supplemented the electrons consumed in the reaction and drove the valence cycle of Cu ions. Overall, this research offered novel insights into the non-radical pathway for heterogeneous visible light-driven advanced oxidation processes and their potential for practical wastewater remediation.
