Qian Z, Guo Y, Luo M, Yang L, Liu S, Qin P, Yuan B, Liu F, Hao R. Unveiling the activity difference cause and ring-opening reaction routes of typical radicals induced degradation of toluene. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134273. [PMID: 38653137 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
This study employs five UV-AOPs (PMS, PDS, H2O2, NaClO and NaClO2) to produce radicals (•OH, SO4•-, ClO•, O2•- and 1O2) and further comparatively studies their activity sequence and activity difference cause in toluene degradation. The toluene mineralization efficiency as a descending order is 73 % (UV-PMS) > 71 % (UV-PDS) > 70 % (acidified-UV-NaClO) > 55 % (UV-H2O2) > 36 % (UV-NaClO) > 35 % (UV-NaClO2); that of conversion efficiency is 99 % (acidified-UV-NaClO) > 95 % (UV-PMS) > 90 % (UV-PDS) > 74 % (UV-H2O2) > 44 % (UV-NaClO) > 41 % (UV-NaClO2). Acidic pretreatment significantly boosts the reactivity of UV-NaClO. ESR combined with radical quenching tests reveals the radicals' generation and evolution, and their contribution rates to toluene conversion, i.e. ClO• > SO4•- > O2•- > 1O2 > •OH. Theoretical calculations further unveil the ring-opening reaction routes and the nature of the activity difference of different radicals. The minimum energy required for ring-opening reaction is 116.77, 150.63, 168.29 and 191.92 kJ/mol with respect to ClO•, SO4•-, 1O2 and •OH, and finding that the ClO•-HO• pair is the best for toluene mineralization. The difficulty for eliminating typical VOCs by using UV-AOPs method is determined as toluene > chlorobenzene > benzene > ethyl acetate.

Abstract
The rising debate on the dilemma of photocatalytic water treatment technologies has driven researchers to revisit its prospects in water decontamination. Nowadays, heterogeneous photocatalysis coupled oxidant activation techniques are intensively studied due to their dual advantages of high mineralization and high oxidation efficiency in pollutant degradation. This paved a new way for the development of solar-driven oxidation technologies. Previous reviews focused on the advances in one specific coupling technique, such as photocatalytic persulfate activation and photocatalytic ozonation, but lack a consolidated understanding of the synergy between photocatalytic oxidation and oxidant activation. The synergy involves the migration of photogenerated carriers, radical reaction, and the increase in oxidation rate and mineralization. This review systematically summarizes the fundamentals of activation mechanism, advanced characterization techniques and synergistic effects of coupling techniques for water decontamination. Besides, specific cases that lead researchers astray in revealing mechanisms and assessing synergy are critically discussed. Finally, the prospects and challenges are put forward to further deepen the research on heterogeneous photocatalytic activation of oxidants. This work provides a consolidated view of the existing heterogeneous photocatalysis coupled oxidant activation techniques and inspires researchers to develop more promising solar-driven technologies for water decontamination.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 246:120673. [PMID: 37844341 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120673] [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: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
The oxidation kinetics of Mn(II) by free chlorine is relatively low under near-neutral pH conditions which limits the Mn removal efficiency in drinking water treatment. Therefore, this study investigated the oxidation efficiency of Mn(II) by the UV-enhanced chlorination (UV/chlorine) system and identified the responsible reactive radical species. The results show that the oxidation kinetic of Mn(II) was greatly enhanced by the UV/chlorine system under near-neutral pH or even acidic conditions. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate of Mn(II) at pH 8.0 (within the first 20 min) increased from 2.60 × 10-5 s-1 to 3.41 × 10-4 s-1. Based on the scavenging experiments and the steady-state kinetic modeling, ClO· and ClO2, whose steady-state concentration (∼10-10 M and ∼10-9 M, respectively at pH 8.0) was at least 4 orders of magnitude higher than that of HO· and Cl·, were recognized as the dominant reactive species contributing to the oxidation of Mn(II). Kinetic model calculations indicate that the contribution of ClO· to the oxidation of Mn(II) was consistently maintained above 70 %, and ClO2 also played an important role in the oxidation of Mn(II) especially under acidic and alkaline conditions. In addition, the background components of HCO3- and Cl- had negligible influence on the oxidation efficiency because they barely changed the concentration of the ClO· and ClO2. This study first demonstrates the important role of ClO2 in the oxidation of Mn(II) in the UV/chlorine system, and the possible role of ClO2 in the degradation of some organic pollutants needs to be carefully evaluated in the future.

Performance evaluation of the UV activated chlorite process on trimethoprim: Degradation efficiency, energy consumption and disinfection by-products formation. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 327:138540.

Abstract
As the primary inorganic by-product species of ClO2, chlorite is believed to have negative toxicological effects on human health and therefrom greatly limits the wide application of ClO2 in water treatment. The synergistic trimethoprim (TMP) removal concerning degradation efficiency, energy consumption and disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation in the UV activated chlorite process accompanied by the simultaneously elimination of chlorite was comprehensively evaluated. UV/chlorite integrated process removed TMP far more rapidly than UV (1.52%) or chlorite (3.20%) alone due to the endogenous radicals (Cl•, ClO• and •OH), the contributing proportions of which were 31.96%, 19.20% and 44.12%. The second-order rate constants of TMP reaction with Cl•, ClO• and •OH were determined to be 1.75 × 1010, 1.30 × 109 and 8.66 × 109 M-1 s-1. The effects of main water parameters including chlorite dosage, UV intensity, pH as well as water matrixes (nature organic matter, Cl- and HCO3-) were examined. kobs obeyed the order as UV/Cl2>UV/H2O2≈UV/chlorite>UV, and the cost ranking via electrical energy per order (EE/O, kWh m-3 order-1) parameter was UV/chlorite (3.7034) > UV/H2O2 (1.1625) >UV/Cl2 (0.1631). The operational scenarios can be optimized to achieve the maximum removal efficiencies and the minimum energy costs. The destruction mechanisms of TMP were proposed by LC-ESI-MS analysis. The overall weighted toxicity in subsequent disinfection was assessed as UV/Cl2>UV/chlorite > UV, the values of which in post-chlorination were 6.2947, 2.5806 and 1.6267, respectively. Owing to the vital roles of reactive chlorine species (RCS), UV/chlorite displayed far higher TMP degradation efficiency than UV, and concurrently presented much less toxicity than UV/Cl2. In an effort to determine the viability of the promising combination technology, this study was devoted to reduce and reuse chlorite and synchronously realize the contaminants degradation efficiently.

Abstract
Chlorite (ClO2-) is an undesirable toxic byproduct commonly produced in the chlorine dioxide and ultraviolet/chlorine dioxide oxidation processes. Various methods have been developed to remove ClO2- but require additional chemicals or energy input. In this study, an overlooked mitigation pathway of ClO2- by solar light photolysis with a bonus for simultaneous removal of micropollutant co-present was reported. ClO2- could be efficiently decomposed to chloride (Cl-) and chlorate by simulated solar light (SSL) at water-relevant pHs with Cl- yield up to 65% at neutral pH. Multiple reactive species including hydroxyl radical (•OH), ozone (O3), chloride radical (Cl•), and chlorine oxide radical (ClO•) were generated in the SSL/ClO2- system with the steady-state concentrations following the order of O3 (≈ 0.8 μΜ) > ClO• (≈ 4.4 × 10-6 μΜ)> •OH (≈ 1.1 × 10-7 μΜ)> Cl• (≈ 6.8 × 10-8 μΜ) at neutral pH under investigated condition. Bezafibrate (BZF) as well as the selected six other micropollutants was efficiently degraded by the SSL/ClO2- system with pseudofirst-order rate constants ranging from 0.057 to 0.21 min-1 at pH 7.0, while most of them were negligibly degraded by SSL or ClO2- treatment alone. Kinetic modeling of BZF degradation by SSL/ClO2- at pHs 6.0 - 8.0 suggested that •OH contributed the most, followed by Cl•, O3, and ClO•. The presence of water background components (i.e., humic acid, bicarbonate, and chloride) exhibited negative effects on BZF degradation by the SSL/ClO2- system, mainly due to their competitive scavenging of reactive species therein. The mitigation of ClO2- and BZF under photolysis by natural solar light or in realistic waters was also confirmed. This study discovered an overlooked natural mitigation pathway for ClO2- and micropollutants, which has significant implications for understanding their fate in natural environments.

Abstract
Chlorite (ClO2 -) is the by-product of the water treatment process carried out using chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as an effective disinfectant and oxidant; however, the reactivation of ClO2 - has commonly been overlooked. Herein, it was unprecedentedly found that ClO2 - could be activated by iron species (Feb: Fe0, FeII, or FeIII), which contributed to the synchronous removal of ClO2 - and selective oxidative treatment of organic contaminants. However, the above-mentioned activation process presented intensive H+-dependent reactivity. The introduction of Feb significantly shortened the autocatalysis process via the accumulation of Cl- or ClO- during the protonation of ClO2 - driven by ultrasonic field. Furthermore, it was found that the interdependent high-valent-Fe-oxo and ClO2, after identification, were the dominant active species for accelerating the oxidation process. Accordingly, the unified mechanisms based on coordination catalysis ([Fe N (H2O) a (ClO x m-) b ] n +-P) were putative, and this process was thus used to account for the pollutant removal by the Feb-activated protonated ClO2 -. This study pioneers the activation of ClO2 - for water treatment and provides a novel strategy for "waste treating waste". Derivatively, this activation process further provides the preparation methods for sulfones and ClO2, including the oriented oxidation of sulfoxides to sulfones and the production of ClO2 for on-site use.

Abstract
Although sodium hypochlorite acting as an oxidant has been investigated for the role it plays in the degradation of organic contaminants, little attention has been paid to its activation and efficient utilization. In this study, natural manganese sand (NMS) was verified to be effective for activation of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). Due to the generation of O2-, the removal efficiency of ionic organic contaminants in NMS/NaClO system was 1.9-4.1 times higher than that in NMS or NaClO alone. Hence, NMS activated NaClO system performed ~96.6 % contaminants removal efficiency at a wide pH range (pH 5-9). Kinetic modeling yielded that the NMS dosage was more important than NaClO dosage. Long-term stability was observed in the presence of various salts (bicarbonate, sulfate, phosphate, and chloride). Characterization results revealed that electron transfer among NMS, NaClO, and organic contaminants was responsible for NaClO activation. Then NaClO-based Fenton-like process was proposed by tracing the degradation intermediates of methyl orange (MO) and generations of reactive oxygen species in the MO/NMS/NaClO system. This study presents the potential of NMS to activate NaClO and enhance ionic organic contaminants removal from aquatic environments.

Evaluating UV 254 absorbance reductions in landfill leachate for municipal sewage co-treatment through timed UV/electrooxidation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 445:130624. [PMID: 37056023 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
Landfill leachate contains dissolved organic matter (DOM) exhibiting high ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (UVA254). The UVA254 limits leachate co-treatment with municipal sewage by hindering the downstream UV disinfection efficiency at wastewater treatment plants. Here, we alleviated the UVA254 by timing the radiation in a UV/electrooxidation (UV/EO) process to accelerate reactive species formation. At 200 A·m-2, the UV radiation was delayed by 10 min to accumulate 21 mg·L-1 as Cl2, which enhanced the initial radical formation rate by 5.25 times compared with a simultaneous UV/EO. The timed operation increased the steady-state concentrations of ClO• by 700 times to 4.11 × 10-14 M and reduced the leachate UVA254 by 78.2% after 60 min. We identified that aromatic formulas with low oxygen content were susceptible to UV/EO from Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry analysis. The toxicity of the treated leachate and generated byproducts was assessed through specific oxygen uptake rates (SOUR) and developmental assays with Platynereis dumerilii. After quenching the residual chlorine, leachate co-treatment at 3.5% v/v presented minimal toxicological risk. Our findings provide operational insights for applying UV/EO in high UVA254 matrices such as landfill leachate.

Abstract
Currently, most advanced oxidation denitrification technologies require long flue gas residence time to obtain ideal NO removal efficiency. The NaOH-catalyzed H2O2 system proposed in this paper can obtain 98% NO removal efficiency under the condition of flue gas residence time of 3 s. The mechanism of NO removal and H2O2 decomposition to O2 were proposed. It was confirmed with ESR (Electron-spin-resonance), inhibitor experiments and UV-Vis spectrophotometer that the main group in the reaction process was·O2- radicals, which reacted with NO to form ONOO-, and ONOO- would be gradually transformed into NO3- and NO2- in the air. The effect of some primary factors on the NO removal efficiency and the percentage of H2O2 decomposition to O2 were also investigated. The increase of initial pH has a positive effect on NO removal, while the promotion of NO removal by increasing H2O2 concentration and reaction temperature is limited and the increase of NO has a negative effect on NO removal. Initial pH has a dual impact on the percentage of H2O2 decomposition to O2, H2O2 concentration and reaction temperature promote the decomposition of H2O2 to O2, while NO concentration has an inhibiting effect on it.

Abstract
Industrial waste gas emissions from fossil fuel over-exploitation have aroused great attention in modern society. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been developed in the capture and catalytic conversion of industrial exhaust gases such as SO2 , H2 S, NOx , CO2 , CO, etc. Based on these resourceful conversion applications, in this review, we summarize the crucial role of the surface, interface, and structure optimization of MOFs for performance enhancement. The main points include (1) adsorption enhancement of target molecules by surface functional modification, (2) promotion of catalytic reaction kinetics through enhanced coupling in interfaces, and (3) adaptive matching of guest molecules by structural and pore size modulation. We expect that this review will provide valuable references and illumination for the design and development of MOF and related materials with excellent exhaust gas treatment performance.

Abstract
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) has emerged as a broad-spectrum, safe, and effective disinfectant due to its high oxidation efficiency and reduced formation of organochlorinated by-products during application. This article provides an updated overview of ClO2-based oxidation processes used in water treatment. A systematic review of scientific information and experimental data on ClO2-based water purification procedures is presented. Concerning ClO2-based oxidation derivative problems, the pros and cons of ClO2-based combined processes are assessed and disinfection by-product (DBP) control approaches are proposed. The kinetic and mechanistic data on ClO2 reactivity towards micropollutants are discussed. ClO2 selectively reacts with electron-rich moieties (anilines, phenols, olefins, and amines) and eliminates certain inorganic ions and microorganisms with high efficiency. The formation of chlorite and chlorate during the oxidation process is a crucial concern when utilizing ClO2. Future applications include the combination of ClO2 with ferrous ions, activated carbon, ozone, UV, visible light, or persulfate processes. The combined process can reduce by-product generation while still ensuring ClO2 sterilization and disinfection. Overall, this research could provide useful information and new insights into the application of ClO2-based technologies.

Abstract
Visible-light photocatalytic chlorite activation has emerged as an efficient oxidation process for micropollutant elimination. However, the in-depth mechanism of chlorite activation is not understood. In this study, using neodymium-doped bismuth vanadate (NdxBi1-xVO4-δ) as a model catalyst, we describe the oxygen vacancy (OV)-mediated chlorite activation process for efficient ClO2 generation and cephalexin (CPX) degradation. DFT calculations and in situ DRIFTS suggest that the OV-introduced surface -OH serves as the Brønsted acidic center for chlorite adsorption. The OV-mediated chlorite activation involves multistep reactions that surface hydroxylation and proton transfer from the surface -OH to chlorite, forming metastable chlorous acid (HClO2) and further disproportionating to ClO2. As compared with vis-photocatalysis, the vis-photocatalysis coupled with chlorite activation (vis/chlorite) technique exhibits superior performance in antibiotic degradation and achieves efficient microorganism inactivation. This work uncovers the role of OVs on chlorite activation and provides a rational strategy for designing visible-light-driven oxidation techniques in water and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
A novel microwave (MW) catalytic oxidation denitrification method was developed, which can deeply oxidize NO into nitrate/nitrite with little NO2 yield. A molecular-sieve-supported oxygen-vacancy-enriched Fe2O3-MnO2 catalyst (Ov-Fe-Mn@MOS) was fabricated. Physicochemical properties of the catalyst were revealed by various characterization methods. MW irradiation was superior to the conventional heating method in NO oxidation (90.5 vs 70.6%), and MW empowered the catalyst with excellent low-temperature activity (100-200 °C) and good resistance to H2O and SO2. Ion chromatography analysis demonstrated that the amount of nitrate/nitrite accounted for over 90.0% of the N products, but the main product gradually varied from nitrate to nitrite as the reaction proceeded because of the switching of the main reaction path of NO removal. Mechanism analyses clarified that NO oxidation was a non-radical catalytic reaction: (i) the chemisorbed NO on ≡Mn(IV) reacted with O2* to produce nitrate and (ii) the excited NO* due to MW irradiation reacted with the active O* generated from Ov···O2 to form nitrite. Density functional theory calculations combined with electron paramagnetic resonance tests revealed the promotional effects of Fe2O3 in (i) boosting the Ov's quantity; (ii) facilitating O2 adsorption; (iii) increasing the nitrite formation; and (iv) alleviating the suppression of SO2.

Abstract
As one integral part of coping strategies for addressing water pollution, advanced oxidation progresses (AOPs) get enormous attentions in recent years. However, the complex synthesis and high cost of H2O2 and K2S2O8 hampered their developments. Herein, a novel AOP with the chemiluminescence (CL) property based on economic NaClO and WS2 nanosheets was proposed to achieve efficient decomposition of organic pollutants. In this AOP, WS2 nanosheets exhibited a dual-function feature of the catalyst and energy acceptor. It demonstrated that the reaction order of WS2 nanosheets was equal to 0.8271 and enormous singlet oxygen (1O2),·ClO and hydroxyl radical (·OH) were generated in rhodamine B (RhB) degradation process. Interestingly, a strong CL emission was observed and reflected the relative concentration of 1O2 and·OH for adjusting the oxidizing capability in WS2 nanosheets-NaClO system. Through a series of degradation tests, RhB, methylene blue (MB), p-nitrophenol and phenol were decomposed and the degradation efficiency of over 90% was achieved. Therefore, this study not only builds a chemiluminescent AOPs to eliminate organic pollutants, but also broadens the applications of WS2 nanomaterials and CL in environmental field.

Abstract
The integrated system of gas-phase advanced oxidation process combined with sulfite-based wet absorption process is a desirable method for simultaneous removal of SO2, NO, and Hg0, but due to the enrichment of nitrite and Hg2+, resourcing harmless wastewater is still a challenge. To tackle this problem, this study fabricated a bifunctional β-FeOOH@MXene heterogeneous Fenton material, of which the crystalline phase, morphology, structure, and composition were revealed by using X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. It exhibits excellent performance on nitrite oxidation (99.5%) and Hg2+ removal (99.7%) and can maintain stable outstanding ability after 13 cycles, with superior Hg2+ adsorption capacity (395 mg/g) and ultralow Fe leaching loss (<0.018 wt %). The synergism between MXene and β-FeOOH appears as follows: (i) MXene, as an inductive agent, directionally converted Fe2O3 into β-FeOOH in the hydrothermal method and greatly reduced its monomer size; (ii) the introduced ≡Ti(III)/≡Ti(II) accelerated the regeneration of ≡Fe(II) via rapid electron transfer, thereby improving the heterogeneous Fenton reaction; and (iii) MXene strongly immobilized β-FeOOH to greatly inhibit Fe-leaching. HO•, •O2--, and 1O2 were the main radicals identified by electron spin resonance. Radical quenching tests showed their contributions to NO2- oxidation in the descending order HO• > 1O2 > •O2-. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that •OH-induced oxidation of NO2- or HNO2 was the primary reaction path. Density functional theory calculations combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman characterizations displayed the Hg2+ removal mechanism, with Hg2Cl2, HgCl2, and HgO as the main byproducts. This novel material provides a new strategy for resourcing harmless wastewater containing nitrite and Hg2+.

Abstract
Our previous work had demonstrated that UV/NaClO2 was the best advanced oxidation method in terms of nitric oxide (NO) removal, but we have not studied the impact of the fly ash on NO removal under such conditions. For this, this paper selected six kinds of fly ashes and studied their effects on NO removal. The micromorphology, elemental composition, and the elemental oxidation states of these six fly ashes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma methods. The main inorganic components in the six fly ashes are metal oxides (Fe2O3/Fe3O4, SiO2, Al2O3, ZnO, MgO, and TiO2), carbonates (Na2CO3 and CaCO3), and chlorides (NaCl, KCl, and MgCl2). The experimental results suggested that high solubility was the premise condition for the fly ashes exhibiting an inhibitory effect on NO removal. Among all of the metal compounds, Fe2O3/Fe3O4 exhibited the highest inhibitory contribution rate to the NO removal (22.9-45.7%). The anions of Cl- and CO3 2- acted as scavengers for the free radicals which greatly impaired the oxidation of NO. Based on the simulation experimental results and the UV-vis analysis, the order of inhibitory contribution rates of various metal compounds to the NO removal was determined as Fe2O3/Fe3O4 > TiO2 ≈ Na2CO3 > Al2O3 ≈ ZnO ≈ MnO2 > CaCO3 > NaCl > KCl ≈ SiO2 ≈ MgCl2.

Abstract
Simultaneous removal of chlorite (ClO2-) and organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) by the irradiation of UV is a novel process. In this study we used UV light emitting diode (UV-LED) as a new UV source to systematically investigate the effect of UV wavelength (255, 285, 365 nm) on the simultaneous removal of carbamazepine (CBZ) and ClO2-. Removal of both CBZ and ClO2- followed the order of 255, 285, and 365 nm. Formation of hydroxyl radical and reactive chlorine species (RCS) were confirmed during the photolysis of ClO2- using probe compounds. RCS were always the predominant contributor to the degradation of CBZ in UV-LED/ClO2- system. The impacts of ClO2- dosage, pH, bicarbonate/carbonate (HCO3-/CO32-), and the effect of natural organic matter (NOM) on CBZ degradation were also evaluated. This study identified the products produced by CBZ through possible degradation pathways during the transformation process. Further, the amount of ClO2- may affect the amount of chlorate produced in UV/ClO2- system. Overall, our research provides an in-depth analysis of the effects of UV wavelength on the simultaneous removal of ClO2- and OMPs in water.

Abstract
Triphenylmethane (tpm) derivatives (e.g. tpmCV) have threatened the safety of the aquatic environment due to the potential toxicity and carcinogenicity. In this study, the novel ultrasonic/persulfate/chlorite (US/S2O82-/ClO2-) oxidation process was developed for the effective removal of tpmCV in wastewater. The apparent non-integer kinetics (n around 1.20) of tpmCV degradation under different factors (R2Adj > 0.990) were investigated, respectively. Inhibiting effects of anions were greater than those of cations (except Fe(II/III)). The adding of micromolecule organic acids could regulate degradation towards positive direction. The double response surface methodology (RSM) was designed to optimize tpmCV removal process, and the acoustic-piezoelectric interaction was simulated to determine the propagation process of acoustic wave in the reactor. The possible degradation pathway was explored to mainly include carbonylation, carboxylation, and demethylation. The estimated effective-mean temperature at the bubble-water interface was calculated from 721 to 566 K after introducing the ClO2-, however, the adsorption or partitioning capacity of tpmCV in the reactive zone was widened from 0.0218 to 0.0982. The proposed co-catalysis of US/S2O82-/ClO2- was based on the determined active species mainly including ClO2, SO4⋅-, and ⋅OH. Compared with other US-based processes, the operating cost (3.97 $/m3) of US/S2O82-/ClO2- with the EE/O value (16.8 kWh/m3) was relatively reduced.

Abstract
In this work, steel slag slurry was used in combination with O3 oxidation for the simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO x in a laboratory-scale wet flue gas desulfurization process. The effects of the oxidation temperature, steel slag concentration, initial SO2 concentration, and pH value on the desulfurization and denitrification efficiencies were studied. The results showed that the highest NO x removal efficiency occurred at an oxidation temperature of 90 °C. With an increase of the oxidation temperature above 90 °C, the denitrification efficiency decreased due to the decomposition of N2O5. The effect of the SO2 concentration on denitrification was complicated. When the concentration of SO2 was 500 ppm, generation of SO3 2- promoted the absorption of NO2. However, higher SO2 concentrations strengthened the competitive absorption of SO2 and NO x . In the pH range of 8.5-4.5, the denitrification efficiency was maintained at about 96%. The component analyses of the aqueous solution and the solid residue were conducted to investigate the compositions of the absorption products. The results showed that NO3 - and SO4 2- were the major anions in the aqueous solution. The nitrogen balance was analyzed to be 95.8%, clearly illustrating the migration and transformation path of nitrogen. In the solid residue, most alkaline substances were consumed, and the final products were mainly CaSO4 and FeO. Accordingly, the reaction mechanism of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification using steel slag combined with ozone oxidation was proposed.

Abstract
The novel system, consisting of composite oxidants (persulfate/chlorite, S2O82-/ClO2-) and stationary phase activator (zero-valent-iron foam, Fe0f) driven by ultrasonic (US) field, was applied to treat the triphenylmethane derivative effectively even at low temperature (≈ 289 K). By comparisons of sub-systems, the US roles to S2O82-, ClO2-, and Fe0f were seriatim analyzed. US made the reaction order of multi-component system tend to within 1 (leading to de-order reaction), and widened pH activating range of the Fe0f by sonicate-polishing during the process of ClO2- co-activating S2O82-. US and Fe0f were affected by fluid eddy on activating S2O82-/ClO2-. The Fe0f had slight effect on the temperature of US bubble-water interface but the addition of ClO2- lowered it. The partitioning capacity of the above US reactive zone increased during the reaction. US and ClO2- could enrich the kinds of degradation intermediates. The contributions of free radicals (ClOx-based radicals, sulfate radicals (SO4-), and hydroxyl radicals (OH)) and non-free radicals (ClO2, and O = FeIV/V from ionic Fe under "-O-O-" of S2O82- and cyclic adjustment reaction of ClO2-) processes by sonochemical induction were equally important by corresponding detection means. Especially, real-time and online high-resolution mass spectrum by self-developing further confirmed the chain transfers of different free radicals due to US role. The findings expanded the application of sono-persulfate-based systems and improved understanding on activation mechanism.

Abstract
Recently, the discharge of flue gas has become a global issue due to the rapid development in industrial and anthropogenic activities. Various dry and wet treatment approaches including conventional and hybrid hybrid wet scrubbing have been employing to combat against these toxic exhaust emissions. However, certain issues i.e., large energy consumption, generation of secondary pollutants, low regeneration of scrubbing liquid and high efficieny are hindering their practical applications on industrial level. Despite this, the hybrid wet scrubbing technique (advanced oxidation, ionic-liquids and solid engineered interface hybrid materials based techniques) is gaining great attention because of its low installation costs, simultaneous removal of multi-air pollutants and low energy requirements. However, the lack of understanding about the basic principles and fundamental requirements are great hurdles for its commercial scale application, which is aim of this review article. This review article highlights the recent developments, minimization of GHG, sustainable improvements for the regeneration of used catalyst via green and electron rich donors. It explains, various hybrid wet scrubbing techniques can perform well under mild condition with possible improvements such as development of stable, heterogeneous catalysts, fast and in-situ regeneration for large scale applications. Finally, it discussed recovery of resources i.e., N2O, NH3 and N2, the key challenges about several competitive side products and loss of catalytic activity over time to treat toxic gases via feasible solutions by hybrid wet scrubbing techniques.

Abstract
The dry flue gas desulfurization (FGD) method was studied, which is a part of the integrated removal of multi-pollutants at medium temperatures. Although dry flue gas treatment is a simple and effective method, it is still a highly empirical-led application technology. A superior desulfurization adsorbent, fine powder of NaHCO3 (hereinafter called fine NaHCO3), was selected by scale-up experiments. A deep understanding of the reaction process and mechanism is then explored, which helps the further optimization of dry desulfurization. Based on the multi-factor experiments for NaHCO3, the effect mechanism of NO on desulfurization using NaHCO3 is also proposed. The conversion of SO32− → SO42− is promoted by the existence of NO. Therefore, a slight decline can be found. According to the influences of the SO2 concentration and the residence time, it is concluded that the diffusion of SO2 into the channel of NaHCO3 is the rate-limiting step. Impressively, the reaction process of reactants was clearly studied by in situ FTIR spectroscopy to determine the whole process. Moreover, the recycling of NaHCO3 is the main direction for reducing adsorbent consumption in the next step. The predictable insights are beneficial for profoundly understanding the gas composition synergetic interaction for the SO2 removal by the dry treatment using NaHCO3. A superior desulfurizer, fine NaHCO3 was selected by scale-up experiments. A deep understanding of the reaction process and mechanism was explored. The effect mechanism of NO on desulfurization using NaHCO3 was proposed by in situ FTIR results.![]()

Abstract
It is well known that using chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as a disinfectant inevitably produces a common disinfection byproducts chlorite (ClO2‒). In this study, we found that UV photolysis after ClO2 disinfection can effectively eliminate both ClO2‒ and contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). However, the kinetic mechanisms of UV/ClO2‒ process destructing CECs, as well as transformation of ClO2‒ in UV/ClO2‒ system are not clear yet. Therefore, we systematically investigated the UV/ClO2‒ system to assist us appropriately design this process under optimal operational conditions. In this work, we first investigated the impact of water matrix conditions (i.e., pH, bicarbonate and natural organic matter (NOM)) and ClO2‒ dosage on the UV/ClO2‒ process. We found that bicarbonate and NOM have inhibition effects, while lower pH and higher ClO2‒ dosage have enhancement effects. Besides, hydroxyl radical (HO•) and reactive chlorine species (RCS) are generated from UV/ClO2‒ system, and RCS are main contributors to CBZ degradation. Then we proposed a possible degradation pathway of CBZ based on the determined products from experiments. Additionally, we found that photolysis of ClO2‒ resulted in the generation of chloride (Cl‒) and chlorate (ClO3‒). As the ClO2‒ dosage increases, the yield of ClO3‒ increased while that of Cl‒ decreased. Finally, we elucidated the second order rate constant of the target organic compound with HO• has a strong correlation with the formation of ClO3‒.

Abstract
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) has emerged as a promising alternative to free chlorine for water disinfection and/or pre-oxidation due to its reduced yields of chlorinated disinfection byproducts. ClO2 decomposes to form chlorite (ClO2-), which influences the following advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for micropollutant abatement in drinking water. This study aims at investigating the effects of ClO2- on the concentrations of reactive species (e.g., radicals and ozone) and on the formation of chlorate in the UV/chlorine AOP. Results showed that the concentration of ClO· in the UV/chlorine process remarkably decreased by 98.20-100.00% in the presence of ClO2- at concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg·L-1 as NaClO2. The concentrations of HO· and ozone decreased by 42.71-65.42% and by 22.02-64.31%, respectively, while the concentration of Cl· was less affected (i.e., 31.00-36.21% reduction). The overall concentrations of the reactive species were differentially impacted by ClO2-'s multiple roles in the process. UV photolysis of ClO2- generated HO· but not Cl·, ClO· or ozone under the drinking water relevant conditions. ClO2- also competed with chlorine for UV photons but this effect was minor (< 1.0%). The radicals/ozone scavenging by ClO2- outcompeted the above two to lead to the overall decreasing concentrations of the reactive species, in consistency with the kinetic model predicted trends. ClO2- reacted with radicals and ozone to form chlorate (ClO3-) but not perchlorate (ClO4-). HO· played a dominant role in ClO3- formation. The findings improved the fundamental understanding on micropollutant abatement and inorganic byproduct formation by the UV/chlorine process and other AOPs in ClO2--containing water.

Abstract
Based on the demand of sintering/pelleting flue gas ultra-low emission, a semi-dry method using a spray dryer absorber (SDA) combined with O3 oxidation was proposed for simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO. Effects of O3 injection site, O3/NO molar ratio, and spray tower temperature on the removal efficiencies were investigated. It was revealed that both desulfurization and denitrification efficiencies could reach to 85% under the conditions of setting O3 injection site inside of tower, O3/NO molar ratio 1.8, spray tower temperature 85°C, Ca/(S + 2 N) molar ratio 2.5 and slurry flow rate 300 mL/hr. CaSO3/Ca(OH)2 mixture slurry was used as absorbent to simulate operating conditions in iron and steel industry. The result shows that the addition of CaSO3 weakens both removal efficiencies. In addition, the reaction mechanism of simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO using SDA combined with O3 oxidation was proposed.

Abstract
The direct conversion of SO2 to SO3 is rather difficult for flue gas desulfurization due to its inert dynamic with high reaction activation energy, and the absorption by wet limestone-gypsum also needs the forced oxidation of O2 to oxidize sulfite to sulfate, which is necessary for additional aeration. Here, we propose a method to remove SO2 with highly synergistic H2O2 production based on a novel dual-function photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) system in which the jointed spontaneous reaction of desulfurization and H2O2 production was integrated instead of nonspontaneous reaction of O2 to H2O2. SO2 was absorbed by alkali liquor then oxidized quickly into SO42- by a nanorod α-Fe2O3 photoanode, which possessed high alkali corrosion resistance and electron transport properties. H2O2 was produced simultaneously in the cathode chamber on a gas diffusion electrode and was remarkably boosted by the conversion reaction of SO32- to SO42- in the anode chamber in which the released chemical energy was effectively used to increase H2O2. The photocurrent density increased by 40% up to 1.2 mA·cm-2, and the H2O2 evolution rate achieved 58.8 μmol·L-1·h-1·cm-2 with the synergistic treatment of SO2, which is about five times than that without SO2. This proposed PEC cell system offers a cost-effective and environmental-benign approach for dual purpose of flue gas desulfurization and simultaneous high-valued H2O2 production.

Abstract
Inorganic constituents in real wastewater, such as halides and carbonates/bicarbonates, may have negative effects on the performance of electrochemical systems because of their capability of quenching HO•. However, we discovered that the presence of Cl- and HCO3- in an electrochemical system is conducive to the formation of ClO•, which plays an important role in promoting the simultaneous elimination of biorefractory organics and nitrogen in secondary coking wastewater effluent. The 6-h operation of the coupled electrochemical system (an undivided electrolytic cell with a PbO2/Ti anode and a Cu/Zn cathode) at a current density of 37.5 mA cm-2 allowed the removal of 87.8% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 86.5% of total nitrogen. The electron paramagnetic resonance results suggested the formation of ClO• in the system, and the probe experiments confirmed the predominance of ClO•, whose steady-state concentrations (8.08 × 10-13 M) were 16.4, 26.5, and 1609.5 times those of Cl2•- (4.92 × 10-14 M), HO• (3.05 × 10-14 M), and Cl• (5.02 × 10-16 M), respectively. The rate constant of COD removal and the Faradaic efficiency of anodic oxidation obtained with Cl- and HCO3- was linearly proportional to the natural logarithm of the ClO• concentration, and the specific energy consumption was inversely correlated to it, demonstrating the crucial role of ClO• in pollutant removal.

Abstract
Marine diesel engines produce a lot of exhaust gas (NO, SO2). Based on the situation that wet scrubbing methods have been already applied to ship desulfurization and seawater is easily accessible around the ships, this paper proposed a novel AOP (advanced oxidation process) of NaClO2 (sodium chlorite) with Cl- (abundant Cl- exist in seawater) to remove NO from the flue gases of marine engines. The buffer capacity of NaAC (sodium acetate), the effect of Cl- concentration, and Cl- promotion mechanism on NO removal were investigated. The result showed that the existence of NaAC in solution could inhibit the rapid decline of the solution pH. The addition of Cl- achieved a remarkable promotion to NO removal at lower NaClO2 concentration, which was due to the fast generation of ClO2 from the promotion decomposition of NaClO2 by Cl- in acidic condition. Then, the thermodynamic and dynamic mechanism of the generation of ClO2 was intensively analyzed. And the mechanism of NO removal was discussed finally.

Abstract
How to cost-efficiently and cooperatively remove SO2, NO and Hg0 in flue gas is a hot topic in the field of air pollution control. This work developed an integrated system that consists of a dual-absorption system and a vapor oxidation system, in which Na2CO3 and H2O2/Na2S2O8 were used as the absorbent and oxidant. The results indicated that the efficiencies of SO2 removal and NO conversion reached 99.5% and 93% respectively. Rising the vaporization temperature and decreasing the pH of H2O2/Na2S2O8 could facilitate the NO conversion. The spent Na2CO3 after desulfurization was demonstrated to be a good absorbent for NO2 removal. The best conditions of pH and temperatures for the dual-absorber were determined as 10/8 and 60/60 °C, respectively. The presence of 1000 mg/m3 SO2 and 300 mg/m3 NO favored the Hg0 removal. TMT-15, an organic sulfur compound, was demonstrated to be useful in retaining Hg2+, with an efficiency of 92%. According to the analyses of electron spin resonance (ESR), ion chromatography (IC), atom fluorescence spectrometry (AFS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), SO4- and HO were proved to be the key radicals, and the existing forms of N- and Hg- species in the product were identified as NaNO2/NaNO3 and HgCl2.

Abstract
Sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitric oxide (NO) and elemental mercury (Hg0) are three common air pollutants in flue gas. SO2 and NO are the main precursors for chemical smog and Hg0 is a bio-toxicant for human. Cooperative removal of multi-air-pollutant in flue gas using radical-induced oxidation reaction is considered as one of the most promising methods due to the high removal efficiency, low cost and less secondary environmental impact. The common radicals used in air pollution control can be classified into four types: (1) hydroxyl radical (OH), (2) sulfate radical (SO4-), (3) chlorine-containing radicals (Cl, ClO2, ClO, HOCl-, etc.) and (4) ozone. This review summarizes the generation methods and mechanism of the four kinds of radicals, as well as their applications in the removal of multi-air-pollutant in flue gas. The reactivity, selectivity and reaction mechanism of the four kinds of radicals in multi-air-pollutant removal were comprehensively described. Finally, some future research suggestions on the development of new technique for cooperative removal of multi-air-pollutant in flue gas were provided.

Abstract
As it has a simple system and a small floor area, flue gas simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification technology has a good development prospect, and related research has become a hot topic in the field of flue gas purification. In this work, a novel simultaneous removal technology of NO and SO2 from flue gas using a semi-dry microwave activation persulfate system was developed for the first time. A series of experiments and characterization analyses had been implemented to research the feasibility of this new flue gas purification technology. The oxidation products, free radicals, and mechanism of NO and SO2 simultaneous removal were revealed. The effect of the main technological parameters on NO and SO2 simultaneous removal was also studied. Relevant results demonstrated that an increase in the microwave radiation power, persulfate concentration, and O2 concentration enhanced NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. The increase of NO and SO2 concentrations weakened NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. The reagent dosage, pH value of the solution, and reaction temperature showed a dual influence on NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. Free-radical capture experiments revealed that both SO4-• and •OH that were produced by microwave activation of persulfate were the major active species and played very key roles in NO and SO2 simultaneous removal. The main products (sulfate and nitrate) and byproducts (NO2) in the tail gas were found. The process application and product post-treatment routes were also proposed. The result may provide the necessary inspiration and guidance for the development and application of microwave-activated advanced oxidation technology in the flue gas treatment area.
