Catalytic ozonation of reverse osmosis concentrate from coking wastewater reuse by surface oxidation over Mn-Ce/γ-Al 2O 3: Effluent organic matter transformation and its catalytic mechanism. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134363. [PMID: 38663291 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Degradation of organics in high-salinity wastewater is beneficial to meeting the requirement of zero liquid discharge for coking wastewater treatment. Creating efficient and stable performance catalysts for high-salinity wastewater treatment is vital in catalytic ozonation process. Compared with ozonation alone, Mn and Ce co-doped γ-Al2O3 could remarkably enhance activities of catalytic ozonation for chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal (38.9%) of brine derived from a two-stage reverse osmosis treatment. Experimental and theoretical calculation results indicate that introducing Mn could increase the active points of catalyst surface, and introducing Ce could optimize d-band electronic structures and promote the electron transport capacity, enhancing HO• bound to the catalyst surface ([HO•]ads) generation. [HO•]ads plays key roles for degrading the intermediates and transfer them into low molecular weight organics, and further decrease COD, molecular weights and number of organics in reverse osmosis concentrate. Under the same reaction conditions, the presence of Mn/γ-Al2O3 catalyst can reduce ΔO3/ΔCOD by at least 37.6% compared to ozonation alone. Furthermore, Mn-Ce/γ-Al2O3 catalytic ozonation can reduce the ΔO3/ΔCOD from 2.6 of Mn/γ-Al2O3 catalytic ozonation to 0.9 in the case of achieving similar COD removal. Catalytic ozonation has the potential to treat reverse osmosis concentrate derived from bio-treated coking wastewater reclamation.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 346:123591. [PMID: 38367696 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123591] [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: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
This study developed an efficient and stable landfill leachate treatment process, which was based on the combination of biochar catalytic ozonation and activated sludge technology for intensive treatment of landfill leachate, aiming to achieve the standard discharge of leachate. The focus is to investigate the effect of manganese loading on the physicochemical properties of biochar and the mechanism of its catalytic ozonation. It was found that more surface functional groups (CO, Mn-O, etc.) and defects (ID/IG = 1.27) were exposed via the change of original carbon structure by loading Mn, which is conducive to the generation of lattice oxygen. Meanwhile, generating different valence states of Mn metal can improve the redox properties and electron migration rate, and encourage the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the reaction process and enhance the catalytic efficiency. The synergistic action of microorganisms, especially denitrifying bacteria, was found to play a key role in the degradation of nitrogenous pollutants during the activated sludge process. The concentration of NH+4-N was reduced from the initial 1087.03 ± 9.56 mg/L to 9.05 ± 1.91 mg/L, while COD was reduced from 2290 ± 14.14 mg/L to 86.5 ± 2.12 mg/L, with corresponding removal rates of 99.17% and 99.20%, respectively. This method offers high efficiency and stability, achieving discharge standards for leachate (GB16889-2008). The synergy between Mn-loaded biochar and microorganisms in the activated sludge is key to effective treatment. This study offers a new approach to solving the challenge of waste leachate treatment.

Abstract
Advanced treatment of refractory industrial wastewater is still a challenge. Coking wastewater is one of coal chemical wastewater, which contains various refractory organic pollutants. To meet the more and more rigorous discharge standard and increase the reuse ratio of coking wastewater, advanced treatment process must be set for treating the biologically treated coking wastewater. To date, several advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), including Fenton, ozone, persulfate-based oxidation, and iron-carbon micro-electrolysis, have been applied for the advanced treatment of coking wastewater. However, the performance of different advanced treatment processes changed greatly, depending on the components of coking wastewater and the unique characteristics of advanced treatment processes. In this review article, the state-of-the-art advanced treatment process of coking wastewater was systematically summarized and analyzed. Firstly, the major organic pollutants in the secondary effluents of coking wastewater was briefly introduced, to better understand the characteristics of the biologically treated coking wastewater. Then, the performance of various advanced treatment processes, including physiochemical methods, biological methods, advanced oxidation methods and combined methods were discussed for the advanced treatment of coking wastewater in detail. Finally, the conclusions and remarks were provided. This review will be helpful for the proper selection of advanced treatment processes and promote the development of advanced treatment processes for coking wastewater.

Abstract
To investigate the enhancing effect of Mn on the performance of simultaneous catalytic oxidation of AsH3 and PH3 by CuO-Al2O3 in a reducing atmosphere under micro-oxygen conditions, Cu-Mn modified γ-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared. The characteristics of the catalysts showed that Mn reduced the crystallinity of the active CuO component, increased the number of oxygen vacancies and acidic sites on the catalyst surface, enhanced the mobility of surface oxygen, and the interaction between copper and manganese promoted the redox cycling ability of the catalysts and improved their oxidation performance, which increased the conversion frequency (TOF) by 2.54 × 10-2 to 3.07 × 10-2 sec-1. On the other hand, the introduction of Mn reduced the production of phosphate and As2O3 on the catalyst surface by 30.96% and 44.9%, which reduced the coverage and inerting of the active sites by phosphate and As2O3, resulting in an 8 hr (6 hr) improvement in the stability of PH3 (AsH3) removal.

Abstract
A series of Zn-Al Layered Double Oxides (ZnAl-LDO) composites were prepared by the hydrothermal and calcination method via employing the Zn-Al Layered Double Hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH) as the precursors in the present study. The structural properties and the catalytic ozonation activity of ZnrAl-T composites synthesized with different Zn/Al molar ratios and calcination temperatures were systematically investigated. Diversified characterizations were applied to analyze the phase structure and chemical composition of ZnrAl-T composites. As the calcination temperature increased, the layered ZnAl-LDH structure could be entirely destroyed and the crystallinity gradually improved. With the Zn/Al mole ratio of 4.0 and calcination temperature of 500°C, the Zn4Al-500 composite obtained the outstanding catalytic ozonation performance for atrazine (ATZ) degradation with the pseudo-first-order constant of 0.5080 min-1, which was 5 times more than that in O3 alone. Meanwhile, the ATZ degradation efficiency was gradually enhanced from 44.1% to 99.9% within 3.0 min when the solution pH ranged from 3.0 to 10.0. Besides, the Zn4Al-500 composite exhibited splendid stability over multiple reaction cycles. In addition, the radical scavenging test and electron spin resonance measurement demonstrated that superoxide radical and hydroxyl radical are the dominant reactive species in O3/Zn4Al-500 process. Moreover, nineteen and ten transformation products were detected in O3 alone and O3/Zn4Al-500 process, and possible degradation pathways of ATZ were further elucidated. Overall, the Zn4Al-500 composite would provide a potential alternative for pollutants removal due to its high catalytic ozonation efficiency, stability, and reusability.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are promising technologies for partial or complete mineralization of contaminants of emerging concern by highly reactive hydroxyl, hydroperoxyl, superoxide, and sulphate radicals. Detailed investigations and reviews have been reported for conventional AOP systems that have been installed in full-scale wastewater treatment plants. However, recent efforts have focused on the peroxymonosulphate, persulphate, catalytic ozonation, ultrasonication and hydrodynamic cavitation, gamma radiation, electrochemical oxidation, modified Fenton, and plasma-assisted AOPs. This critical review presents the detailed mechanisms of emerging AOP technologies, their performance for treatment of contaminants of emerging concern, the relative advantages and disadvantages of each technology, and the remaining challenges to scale-up and implementation. Among the evaluated technologies, the modified electrochemical oxidation, gamma radiation, and plasma-assisted systems demonstrated the greatest potential for successful and sustainable implementation in wastewater treatment due to their environmental safety, compatibility, and efficient transformation of contaminants of emerging concern by a variety of reactive species. The other emerging AOP systems were also promising, but additional scale-up trials and a deeper understanding of their reaction kinetics in complex wastewater matrices are necessary to determine the technical and economic feasibility of full-scale processes.

Abstract
Catalytic ozonation based on heterogeneous metal oxides is a promising approach to removing ammonia as gaseous nitrogen from water. Herein, MgO/Co3O4/CeO2 was prepared for catalytic ozonation of ammonia in an aqueous solution. The influence of various reaction conditions was systematically investigated and optimized, in which the reaction kinetics was also analyzed. After doping Ce, the catalyst with Mg-Co-Ce molar ratio of 4:1:1 and calcined at 700 °C for 3 h, has abundant surface oxygen vacancies and exhibited excellent performance for the selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia to gaseous nitrogen by ozone. It was found that the catalytic activity of catalysts was positively related to oxygen vacancies concentration on the composites surface, which might play a vital role in selective catalytic ozonation. Under the optimal conditions, the ammonia removal rate in MgO/Co3O4/CeO2 catalytic system was 0.03328 min-1 (R2 = 0.99942), about 2.1 times greater than that of MgO/Co3O4 (0.01597 min-1, R2 = 0.99813), and the selectivity was further enhanced from 73.57% to 86.94%. Moreover, the evolution of nitrogen and chlorine species was determined to discuss the mechanism of selective oxidation of ammonia in the low chlorine-containing solution. This study might promote the understanding of catalytic ozonation of ammonia to gaseous nitrogen selectively.

Abstract
In this study, the high-gravity technique is used to intensify the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation with activated carbon (AC) as the catalyst for removal of phenol from wastewater in a rotating packed bed (RPB), and the effects of high-gravity factor, inlet O3 concentration, liquid-gas ratio, and initial pH on the degradation and mineralization of phenol at room temperature are investigated. It is revealed that the degradation rate of phenol reaches 100% at 10 min and the removal rate of total organic carbon (TOC) reaches 91% at 40 min under the conditions of high-gravity factor β = 40, inlet O3 concentration = 90 mg·L-1, liquid flow rate = 80 L·h-1, and initial pH = 11. Compared with the bubbling reactor (BR)/O3/AC and RPB/O3 systems, the mineralization rate of phenol by the RPB/O3/AC system is increased by 24.78% and 34.77%, respectively. Free radical quenching experiments are performed using tertiary butanol (TBA) and benzoquinone (BQ) as scavengers of ·OH and O2-, respectively. It is shown that the degradation and mineralization of phenol are attributed to the direct ozonation and the indirect oxidation by ·OH generated from the decomposition of O3 adsorbed on AC surface, respectively. ·OH and O2·- are also detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Thus, it is concluded that AC-catalyzed ozonation and high-gravity technique have a synergistic effect on ·OH initiation, which in turn can significantly improve the degradation and mineralization of organic wastewater.

Abstract
Herein, we attempted to apply an alumina-based bimetallic (Mn-Ce) catalyst as an O3 activator and explored the feasibility of the treatment of hypersaline organic wastewater. Compared with independent O3 (35.00 ± 4.20%), mineralization of ciprofloxacin (CIP) under the Mn-CeOx@γ-Al2O3/O3 (MCAO) process was elevated to 76.04 ± 2.30%. The synergetic corporation among multivalence redox pairs of Mn (III)/Mn (IV), Ce (III)/Ce (IV) promoted the protonation of the surface hydroxyl group (S-OH2+), and subsequently the dominant reactive oxygen species in the MCAO process, OH and O2-, were generated rapidly. However, the mineralization of CIP decreased in MCAO/SO42- system due to the formation of SO4-, which reacted with CIP more slowly (8.4 × 108 M-1 s-1) than OH (4.1 × 109 M-1 s-1). In MCAO/SO42-/Cl- mixture saline conditions, mineralization of CIP was improved at low Cl- concentration (0.5 wt%) due to the generation of Cl, while inhibited with excessive Cl- (≥1.5 wt%) owing to the formation of residual chlorides (Cl2, Cl2- and ClO-). Meanwhile, the MCAO process possessed promising capability to remediate hypersaline wastewater containing dyes, phenol and pesticides, as well as actual salinity-rich wastewater. Based on the above, the present study would provide new insights into hypersaline organic wastewater treatment by the MCAO process.

Abstract
Various chemical treatment techniques are involved in removing refractory organic compounds from water and wastewater using the oxidation reaction of hydroxyl radicals (•OH). The use of catalysts in advanced catalytic ozonation is likely to improve the decomposition of molecular ozone to generate highly active free radicals that facilitate the rapid and efficient mineralization and degradation of numerous organics. For the degradation of toxic organic pollutants in wastewater, the advanced catalytic ozonation process has been widely applied in recent years. Low utilization efficiency of ozone and ineffective mineralization of organic contaminants by ozone can be remedied with advanced catalytic ozonation. Advanced catalytic ozonation has gained popularity because of these merits. However, homogeneous catalytic ozonation has the disadvantage of producing secondary contaminants from the addition of metallic ions. Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation can overcome this drawback by utilizing metals, metallic oxides, and carbon materials as a catalyst of efficacy and stability. This review discusses various aspects of catalytic ozonation in wastewater treatment of pharmaceutical pollutants, application of catalytic ozonation process in typical wastewater, and prospects in advancing the techniques in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation.

WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2021; 93:1361-1369.

Abstract
In this study, the performance of ofloxacin (OFX) degradation in synthetic wastewater using synthesized MnOx -CeOx /γ-Al2 O3 as a heterogeneous ozonation catalyst was evaluated. The removal rates of OFX and chemical oxygen demand (COD) during 15-day continuous-flow experiments were 98.2% and 76.7% on average, respectively. An ozone index (mgCOD/mgO3 ) of 1.09 with a high ozone utilization efficiency of 91.39% was achieved. The pseudo-first-order rate constant of ofloxacin degradation reached 15.216 × 10-2 min-1 , which was five times that (3.085 × 10-2 min-1 ) without catalysts. The results of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) demonstrated that a variety of small-molecule organics occurred in the final oxidation products, such as 4-hydroxyl-4-methyl-2-pentanone and 2-oxoadipic acid in addition to homologs of OFX. The results of this study suggested that hydroxyl radicals played critical roles in the degradation and mineralization of OFX via four main pathways: (a) electrophilic addition of nitrogen; (b) breakdown of carbon-carbon double bonds; (c) hydrolysis of ether rings; and (d) halodecarboxylation of carboxyl groups. The biodegradability (BOD5 /COD) of OFX after catalytic ozonation reached 0.54. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Ofloxacin wastewater was treated using catalytic ozonation in a 15-day continuous experiment with MnOx -CeOx /γ-Al2 O3 as a catalyst. The ozone index reached 1.09 mgCOD/mgO3 during ozonation of ofloxacin. The presence of the catalyst increased the reaction rate constant by a factor of five. 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone was the primary ofloxacin oxidation product.

Abstract
In the process of treating high-concentration pyridine wastewater, problems such as low treatment efficiency and total nitrogen (TN) residues are always encountered. Catalytic ozonation can degrade pyridine wastewater well, and it also has the potential to remove TN. However, limited research has been conducted on the development of ozonation catalysts that can simultaneously remove the total organic carbon (TOC) and TN. Density functional theory (DFT) technology can determine the number of active components on the catalyst based on its composition; therefore, it can be used to guide the research and development of such catalysts. Here, we presented a strategy to guide the preparation of two-component Mn and Cu catalysts using DFT technology. By characterising and applying the prepared MnxCu1-xOy/γ-Al2O3 catalysts, it was confirmed that the DFT accurately predicted the changes in the active site content. The selected catalyst also achieved strong TOC and TN removal rates during the catalytic ozonation of high-concentration pyridine wastewater. A Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology was used to optimise the process conditions of catalytic ozonation and verify its stability. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the TOC and TN removal efficiencies from a 500 mg/L pyridine solution were 99.8% and 45.8%, respectively. This work indicated that the use of DFT for the design of catalytic materials was an effective method, which can provide a theoretical basis for material design and reduce the time for material screening.

Abstract
Iohexol, a widely used iodinated X-ray contrast media, is difficult to completely degrade with the traditional water treatment process. Catalytic ozonation with synthesized α-Fe0.9Mn0.1OOH as the catalyst can significantly promote the degradation of iohexol relative to that with ozonation alone. Hydroxyl radicals play a predominant role during the degradation of iohexol. The effect of various factors, including catalyst dose, ozone dose, iohexol concentration and water matrix factors, on the catalytic performance were investigated. The presence of α-Fe0.9Mn0.1OOH in the catalytic system can significantly promote the removal of iohexol and mineralization of the dissolved organic carbon in real water samples. The intermediate products were determined by high-resolution liquid chromatography, and the reaction site was predicted by frontier electron density (FED) calculations. The degradation mechanism of iohexol followed the processes of H-abstraction, amide hydrolysis, amide oxidation, and ·OH substitution. Higher exposure concentrations of iohexol had a negative effect on the survival and hatching rates in the development of zebrafish embryos. The autonomic movement process and heartbeat rate of the zebrafish larvae showed significant differences as the exposure concentration of iohexol increased. The catalytic ozonation process with α-Fe0.9Mn0.1OOH can decrease the toxicity of iohexol containing water.

Abstract
Supported copper oxides with well-dispersed metal species, small size, tunable valence and high stability are highly desirable in catalysis. Herein, novel copper oxide (CuOx) catalysts supported on defect-rich mesoporous alumina microspheres are developed using a spray-drying-assisted evaporation induced self-assembly method. The catalysts possess a special structure composed of a mesoporous outer layer, a mesoporous-nanosphere-stacked under layer and a hollow cavity. Because of this special structure and the defective nature of the alumina support, the CuOx catalysts are ultrasmall in size (1 ~ 3 nm), bivalent with a very high Cu+/Cu2+ ratio (0.7), and highly stable against sintering and oxidation at high temperatures (up to 800 °C), while the wet impregnation method results in CuOx catalysts with much larger sizes (~15 nm) and lower the Cu+/Cu2+ ratios (~0.29). The catalyst formation mechanism through the spray drying method is proposed and discussed. The catalysts show remarkable performance in catalytic ozonation of phenol wastewaters. With high-concentration phenol (250 ppm) as the model organic pollutant, the optimized catalyst delivers promising catalytic performance with 100% phenol removal and 53% TOC removal in 60 min, and a high cyclic stability. Superoxide anion free radicals (⋅O2-), singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH) are the predominant reactive species. A detailed structure-performance study reveals the surface hydroxyl groups and Cu+/Cu2+ redox couples play cooperatively to accelerate O3 decomposition generating reactive radicals. The plausible catalytic O3 decomposition mechanism is proposed and discussed with supportive evidences.

Abstract
Ozonation process has been widely applied in water and wastewater treatment, such as for disinfection, for degradation of toxic organic pollutants. However, the utilization efficiency of ozone is low and the mineralization of organic pollutants by ozone oxidation is ineffective, and some toxic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) may be formed during ozonation process. Catalytic ozonation process can overcome these problems to some extent, which has received increasing attention in recent years. During catalytic ozonation, catalysts can promote O3 decomposition and generate active free radicals, which can enhance the degradation and mineralization of organic pollutants. In this paper, the history of ozonation application in water treatment was briefly reviewed. The properties of the ozone molecule, the ozonation types and several ozone-based water treatment processes were briefly introduced. Various catalysts for catalytic ozonation, including homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, such as metal ions, metal oxidizes, carbon-based materials and their possible catalytic mechanisms were analyzed and summarized in detail. Furthermore, some inconsistent results of previous research on catalytic ozonation were analyzed and discussed. The application of catalytic oxidation for the degradation of toxic organic pollutants, including phenols, pesticides, dyes, pharmaceuticals and others, was summarized. Finally, several key aspects of catalytic ozonation, such as pH effect, the catalyst performance, the catalytic mechanism were proposed, to which more attention should be paid in future study.

Abstract
Magnesium-doped ZnO (denoted as x-MgZnO where x represented the molar ratio of Mg to the sum of Mg and Zn) powders synthesized by the traditional thermal decomposition were used as catalysts for ozonation of isoniazid (20 mg/L) at the initial pH of 7.2. Magnesium substituted zinc in wurtzite structure and the Zn-O-Mg bond was formed in Mg-doped ZnO on the basis of the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The removal efficiencies of isoniazid were enhanced in Mg-doped ZnO catalytic ozonation processes (57.7% by 0.05-MgZnO and 76.3% by 0.10-MgZnO in 9 min), compared with ozonation alone (50.5%) and ZnO catalytic ozonation (49.5%). The removal efficiencies of total organic carbon (TOC) were also improved in Mg-doped ZnO catalytic ozonation processes. When the initial pH of 7.2 was lower than the pHPZC (point of zero charge) of Mg-doped ZnO, surface hydroxyl groups of the catalysts were protonated and the solution pH gradually increased during Mg-doped ZnO catalytic ozonation. The increase in the solution pH value mainly induced ozone decomposition into superoxide radical (O2-). Furthermore, protonated surface hydroxyl groups (S-OH2+) on Mg-doped ZnO also contributed a little to ozone decomposition. The 0.10-MgZnO powder showed high stability after continuous use in the process. Additionally, we proposed a possible degradation pathway for the oxidation of isoniazid in Mg-doped ZnO catalytic ozonation on the basis of intermediates detected. This work provides an insight into the mechanism for basic sites of solid base in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation.

The relative contributions of generated free radicals showed an increase in the pseudo zero order tare constants in the following order: OH (9.4%) < SO4- (24.2%) < O2- (53.3%). The operating parameters and solution matrixes, i.e. applied current densities, initial CAP concentrations, initial Cl- and NO3- concentrations, influencing the CAP degradation efficiency were evaluated. The kinetic rate constant of 0.1404 min-1 was found within 7 min at current density of 10 mA cm-2 and initial CAP concentration of 20 mg L-1, while the mineralization efficiency of 59.5%, mineralization current efficiency of 2.06%, detoxication rate to Escherichia coli of 55.5% were achieved at reaction time 90 min. The major degradation pathways of CAP were oxidation, defluorination and bond cleavage, following with the formation of carboxylic acids, NO3-, NO2-, NH4+ and F-. Electrochemical oxidation process based on Ti/SnO2-Sb/Ce-PbO2 anode is proved to be effective for elimination, mineralization and detoxication of aqueous CAP.

Abstract
In order to study their synergistic catalytic effects in toluene degradation, CuMn2O4/HTS-1 (HTS-1 was a titanium silicon molecular sieve), Cu0.7Mn2Y0.3Ox/HTS-1 and Cu0.7Mn2Ce0.3Ox/HTS-1 catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. The textural properties, redox properties and acidity of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), frustrated total internal reflection (FT-IR), ammonium temperature-programmed desorption (NH3-TPD) and pyridine adsorption internal reflection (Py-IR) measurements. The potential roles of Lewis acid sites (activating dioxygen) were discussed, and the experimental results indicated that the most efficient route for toluene degradation over Cu0.7Mn2Ce0.3Ox/HTS-1 (toluene conversion rate of 90% (T99)=295°C) was ascribed to regulation of the synergistic effects of redox properties (activating molecular toluene) and Lewis acid sites (activating dioxygen). The Mars-Van-Krevelen (MVK) model was adopted to describe the reaction process of toluene oxidation, which gave an in-depth view into the toluene degradation over CuMn2O4/HTS-1, Cu0.7Mn2Y0.3Ox/HTS-1 and Cu0.7Mn2Ce0.3Ox/HTS-1. In addition, the synergistic effects between redox properties and Lewis acid sites were studied in detail.

Abstract
Novel single-crystal hexagonal MnTiO3 nanosheets with exposed {0001} facets have been synthesized via a simple one-pot hydrothermal method using NaOH as a mineralizer and tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAH) as a morphology controller. The intermediate morphologies of MnTiO3 nanostructures such as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorods, and nanodiscs are trapped kinetically by adjusting the synthesis conditions. This approach enables us to elucidate the growth mechanisms of MnTiO3 nanosheets based on the tetraethylammonium cation adsorption abilities on different MnTiO3 crystal facets combined with density functional theory calculations. Dissolution and recrystallization processes are involved during the MnTiO3 crystallization. The surface-controlled MnTiO3 has been found to be effective as a catalyst for ozonation in the degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). Within typical experimental conditions (catalyst dosage = 0.3 g L-1, [4-CP]0 = 50 mg L-1, [O3] = 20 mg L-1, gas flow = 0.1 L min-1, pH 6.8, and T = 293 K), the total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency of 4-CP in catalytic ozonation with well-structured MnTiO3 (MnTiO3-180-10 sample) was 76.3% after 60 min, compared with only 22.1 and 38.5% TOC removal in the absence of catalyst and with uncontrolled MnTiO3 (MnTiO3-no TEAH sample), respectively. Benefiting from the high exposure percentage of {0001} facet, mixed-valences of manganese, surface hydroxyl groups, and the enrichment Lewis acid sites provided by Mn and Ti, the morphology-controlled MnTiO3 nanosheets can be applied as heterogeneous catalytic ozonation catalysts which exhibit excellent pollutant degradation. We anticipate that MnTiO3 can be a promising candidate material for the application in remediation of organic pollutants in water.
