J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 671:110-123. [PMID: 38795532 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.05.166] [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: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
Herein, a novel rich oxygen vacancy (Ov) cobalt-iron hydrotalcite composite cobalt metal-organic framework material (ZIF-67/CoFe-LDH) was prepared by simple urea water and heat reduction approach and utilized for the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system to remove sulfamethoxazole (SMX). 95 ± 1.32 % SMX (20 mg/L) was able to degraded in 20 min with TOC removal of 53 ± 1.56 % in ZIF-67/CoFe-LDH/PMS system. The system maintained a fantastic catalytic capability with wide pH range (3-9) and common interfering substances (Cl-, NO3-, CO32-, PO42- and humic acid (HA)), and the degradation efficiency could even remain 80.2 ± 1.48 % at the fifth cycle. Meanwhile, the applicability and feasibility of the catalysts for practical water treatment was verified by the degradation effects of SMX in different water environments and several other typical pollutants. Co and Fe bimetallic active centers synergistically activate PMS, and density functional theory (DFT) predicted adsorption energy about Ov in ZIF-67/CoFe-LDH for PMS was 1.335 eV, and OO bond length of PMS was stretched to 1.826 Å. As a result, PMS was more easily activated and broken, which accelerated the singlet oxygen (1O2), sulfate radical (SO4•-), high-valent metals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS). Radical and non-radical jointly degrading the pollutants improved the catalytic effect. Finally, SMX degradation intermediates were analyzed to explain the degradation pathway and their biotoxicity was also evaluated. This paper provides a new research perspective of oxygen vacancy activating PMS to degrade pollutants.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 478:135521. [PMID: 39154475 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.135521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2024] [Revised: 08/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
Traditional reduction or oxidation processes generating one-component free radicals face challenges in deep dechlorination and mineralization of chlorophenols from wastewater. Herein, an efficient electrocatalytic process has been developed, which couples atomic H* reduction with reactive oxidation species (•OH and 1O2) oxidation on a bifunctional cathode for 4 -chlorophenol (4 -CP) removal. The N - doped carbon nanotubes encapsulated manganese nanoparticles was fabricated as cathode, which could generate atomic H* , initiating nucleophilic hydrodechlorination in presence of confined MnO sites. Subsequently, electrophilic oxidation by generating mainly 1O2 on confined Mn7C3 sites and •OH on confined MnO sites, facilitating the oxidative processes. Experimental results and theory calculations demonstrated that reductive dechlorination and oxidative mineralization processes could mutually promote each other, resulting in an enhancement factor of 2.90. At pH 7, this process achieved 100 % removal for 4 -CP, 84 % dechlorination, 76 % total organic carbon (TOC) removal and low energy consumption (0.76 kWh g-1TOC) within 120 min. Notably, TOC for chlorophenols containing Cl substituents at different positions and real lake water containing 4 -CP could be almost completely removed. This research establishes confined non-noble bifunctional active sites that synergistically enhance reductive dechlorination and oxidative degradation processes, holding significant treatment potential for application in deep mineralization of organochlorine from water/wastewater.

WATER RESEARCH 2024; 255:121503. [PMID: 38537488 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/24/2024]
Abstract
With the increasing adoption of carbon-based strategies to enhance methanogenic processes, there is a growing concern regarding the correlation between biochar properties and its stimulating effects on anaerobic digestion (AD) under ammonia inhibition. This study delves into the relevant characteristics and potential mechanisms of biochar in the context of AD system under ammonia inhibition. The introduction of optimized biochar, distinguished by rich CO bond, abundant defect density, and high electronic capacity, resulted in a significant reduction in the lag period of anaerobic digestion system under 5.0 g/L ammonia stress, approximately by around 63 % compared to the control one. Biochar helps regulate the community structure, promotes the accumulation of acetate-consuming bacteria, in the AD system under ammonia inhibition. More examinations show that biochar promotes direct interspecies electron transfer in AD system under ammonia inhibition, as evidenced by diminished levels of bound electroactive extracellular polymeric substances, increased abundance of electroactive bacteria, and notably, the up-regulation of direct interspecies electron transfer associated genes, including the conductive pili and Cytochrome C genes, as revealed by meta-transcriptomic analysis. Additionally, gene expression related to proteins associated with ammonium detoxification were found to be up-regulated in systems supplemented with biochar. These findings provide essential evidence and insights for the selection and potential engineering of effective biochar to enhance AD performance under ammonia inhibition.

Abstract
The widespread use of antibiotics for the treatment of bacteriological diseases causes their accumulation at low concentrations in natural waters. This gives health risks to animals and humans since it can increase the damage of the beneficial bacteria, the control of infectious diseases, and the resistance to bacterial infection. Potent oxidation methods are required to remove these pollutants from water because of their inefficient abatement in municipal wastewater treatment plants. Over the last three years in the period 2021-September 2023, powerful peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been developed to guaranty the effective removal of antibiotics in synthetic and real waters and wastewater. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of the different procedures proposed to activate PMS-producing strong oxidizing agents like sulfate radical (SO4•-), hydroxyl radical (•OH, radical superoxide ion (O2•-), and non-radical singlet oxygen (1O2) at different proportions depending on the experimental conditions. Iron, non-iron transition metals, biochar, and carbonaceous materials catalytic, UVC, photocatalytic, thermal, electrochemical, and other processes for PMS activation are summarized. The fundamentals and characteristics of these procedures are detailed remarking on their oxidation power to remove antibiotics, the influence of operating variables, the production and detection of radical and non-radical oxidizing agents, the effect of added inorganic anions, natural organic matter, and aqueous matrix, and the identification of by-products formed. Finally, the theoretical and experimental analysis of the change of solution toxicity during the PMS-based AOPs are described.

Abstract
The persulfate activation-based advanced oxidation process (PS-AOP) is an important technology in wastewater purification. Using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as heterogeneous catalysts in the PS-AOP showed good application potential. Considering the intrinsic advantages and disadvantages of MOF materials, combining MOFs with other functional materials has also shown excellent PS activation performance and even achieves certain functional expansion. This Review introduces the classification of MOFs and MOF-based composites and the latest progress of their application in PS-AOP systems. The relevant activation/degradation mechanisms are summarized and discussed. Moreover, the importance of catalyst-related interfacial interaction for developing and optimizing advanced oxidation systems is emphasized. Then, the interference behavior of environmental parameters on the interfacial reaction is analyzed. Specifically, the initial solution pH and coexisting inorganic anions may hinder the interfacial reaction process via the consumption of reactive oxygen species, affecting the activation/degradation process. This Review aims to explore and summarize the interfacial mechanism of MOF-based catalysts in the activation of PS. Hopefully, it will inspire researchers to develop new AOP strategies with more application prospects.

Abstract
Various activated persulfate (PS) technologies have been investigated and implemented to eliminate antibiotic contaminants from water. The investigation and evaluation of different activation systems are essential for the application of PS techniques. The degradation of amoxicillin (AMX) by heat, light, or heterogeneous catalyst of Fe-AC composite activated PS was investigated, and the kinetics, mechanisms and toxicities were compared in this work. The apparent activation energy of the Fe-AC system was lower than that of the heat system. Hydroxyl and sulfate radicals were demonstrated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and quenching tests. There were 22, 21 and 13 types of degradation intermediates detected in heat, light and Fe-AC system, respectively. Six pathways of AMX degradation were proposed and compared in the three activated PS systems. The toxicity prediction of degradation intermediates under different treatment processes was estimated by ecological structure-activity relationship model and toxicity estimation software tool. The genotoxicity of the AMX degradation solution was tested by Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1_recA, which indicated that the AMX solution after treatment in the Fe-AC system had almost no genotoxicity. The Fe-AC/PS system shows apparent advantages over the heat or light activated PS system in most cases, demonstrating that the Fe-AC/PS system is suitable for AMX-contaminated remediation in aqueous solution.
