Selective electrocatalytic transformation of highly toxic phenols in wastewater to para-benzoquinone at ambient conditions. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 251:121106. [PMID: 38183841 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121106] [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: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
The selective transformation of organics from wastewater to value-added chemicals is considered an upcycling process beneficial for carbon neutrality. Herein, we present an innovative electrocatalytic oxidation (ECO) system aimed at achieving the selective conversion of phenols in wastewater to para-benzoquinone (p-BQ), a valuable chemical widely utilized in the manufacturing and chemical industries. Notably, 96.4% of phenol abatement and 78.9% of p-BQ yield are synchronously obtained over a preferred carbon cloth-supported ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru/C) anode. Such unprecedented results stem from the weak Ru-O bond between the Ru active sites and generated p-BQ, which facilitates the desorption of p-BQ from the anode surface. This property not only prevents the excessive oxidation of the generated p-BQ but also reinstates the Ru active sites essential for the rapid ECO of phenol. Furthermore, this ECO system operates at ambient conditions and obviates the need for potent chemical oxidants, establishing a sustainable avenue for p-BQ production. Importantly, the system efficacy can be adaptable in actual phenol-containing coking wastewater, highlighting its potential practical application prospect. As a proof of concept, we construct an electrified Ru/C membrane for ECO of phenol, attaining phenol removal of 95.8% coupled with p-BQ selectivity of 73.1%, which demonstrates the feasibility of the ECO system in a scalable flow-through operation mode. This work provides a promising ECO strategy for realizing both phenols removal and valuable organics recovery from phenolic wastewater.

Li J, Wang T, Liang E. Carbon and hydrogen isotopic evidence for atrazine degradation by electro-activated persulfate: Radical contributions and comparisons with heat-activated persulfate. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 341:122892. [PMID: 37952922 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122892] [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: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 10/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
The activation ways of persulfate (PS) were dominate for pollutant degradation and energy consumption. For the first time, this research compared electro-activated PS and heat-activated PS from the perspective of isotope fractionation, in order to "fingerprinted" and precisely interpretate reaction contributions and degradation pathways. As results, PS can be electrochemically activated with atrazine (ATZ) removal rates of 84.8% and 88.8% at pH 4 and 7. The two-dimensional isotope plots (ɅC/H) values were 6.20 at pH 4 and 7.46 at pH 7, rather different from that of SO4·- -dominated process with ɅC/H value of -4.80 at pH 4 and -23.0 at pH 7, suggesting the weak contribution of SO4·-. ATZ degradation by electro-activated PS was controlled by direct electron transfer (DET) and ·OH radical, and ·OHPS (derived from PS activation) played the crucial role with contributing rate of 63.2%-69.1%, while DET and ·OHBDD (derived from electrolysis of H2O) contributed to 4.5-7.9% and 23.0%-30.8%, respectively. This was different from heat activation of PS, of which the latter was dominated by SO4·- with contributions of 83.9%-100%. The discrepant dominating reactive oxygen species should be responsible for their different degradation capabilities and pathways. This research provided isotopic interpretations for differences of PS activation mode, and further efforts can be made to realize the selective degradation by enhancing the specific reaction process.

Abstract
In this study, a machine learning (ML) framework is developed toward target-oriented inverse design of the electrochemical oxidation (EO) process for water purification. The XGBoost model exhibited the best performances for prediction of reaction rate (k) based on training the data set relevant to pollutant characteristics and reaction conditions, indicated by Rext2 of 0.84 and RMSEext of 0.79. Based on 315 data points collected from the literature, the current density, pollutant concentration, and gap energy (Egap) were identified to be the most impactful parameters available for the inverse design of the EO process. In particular, adding reaction conditions as model input features allowed provision of more available information and an increase in the sample size of the data set to improve the model accuracy. The feature importance analysis was performed for revealing the data pattern and feature interpretation by using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP). The ML-based inverse design for the EO process was generalized to a random case for tailoring the optimum conditions with phenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) serving as model pollutants. The resulting predicted k values were close to the experimental k values by experimental verification, accounting for the relative error lower than 5%. This study provides a paradigm shift from conventional trial-and-error mode to data-driven mode for advancing research and development of the EO process by a time-saving, labor-effective, and environmentally friendly target-oriented strategy, which makes electrochemical water purification more efficient, more economic, and more sustainable in the context of global carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.

Abstract
Hydrogen has been chosen as an environmentally benign energy source to replace fossil-fuel-based energy systems. Since hydrogen is difficult to store and transport in its gaseous phase, thermochemical liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) have been developed as one of the alternative technologies. However, the high temperature and pressure requirements of thermochemical LOHC systems result in huge energy waste and impracticality. This Perspective proposes electrochemical (EC)-LOHCs capable of more efficient, safer, and lower temperature and pressure hydrogen storage/utilization. To enable this technology, several EC-LOHC candidates such as isopropanol, phenolic compounds, and organic acids are described, and the latest research trends and design concepts of related homo/hetero-based electrocatalysts are discussed. In addition, we propose efficient fuel-cell-based systems that implement electrochemical (de)hydrogenation of EC-LOHCs and present prospects for relevant technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fungicide fenhexamid (FH) has a high residual concentration on fruits and vegetables, thus, it is of high importance to monitor the level of FH residues on foodstuff samples. So far, the assay of FH residues in selected foodstuff samples has been conducted by electroanalytical methods on sp2 carbon-based electrodes that are well-known to be susceptible to severe fouling of the electrodes surfaces during electrochemical measurements. As an alternative, sp3 carbon-based electrode such as boron-doped diamond (BDD) can be used in the analysis of FH residues retained on the peel surface of foodstuff (blueberries) sample. RESULTS In situ anodic pretreatment of the BDDE surface was found to be the most successful strategy to remediate the passivated BDDE surface by FH oxidation (by)products, and the best validation parameters, i.e., the widest linear range (3.0-100.0 μmol L-1), the highest sensitivity (0.0265 μA L μmol-1) and the lowest limit of detection (0.821 μmol L-1), were achieved on the anodically pretreated BDDE (APT-BDDE) in a Britton-Robinson buffer, pH 2.0, using square-wave voltammetry (SWV). The assay of FH residues retained on blueberries peel surface was performed on the APT-BDDE using SWV, and the obtained concentration of FH residues of 6.152 μmol L-1 (1.859 mg kg-1) was found to be below the maximum residue value fixed for blueberries by the European Union regulations (20 mg kg-1). SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY In this work, a protocol based on a very easy and fast foodstuff sample preparation procedure combined with the straightforward pretreatment approach of the BDDE surface was elaborated for the first time for the monitoring of the level of FH residues retained on the peel surface of blueberries samples. The presented reliable, cost-effective, and easy-to-use protocol could find its application as a rapid screening method for the control of food safety.

Abstract
A novel, unique, highly effective, and recyclable heterogeneous catalyst, diethyl imidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid supported metal-organic framework ([DEIm][PF6]@MOF-5), has been synthesized using a simple impregnation method at ambient temperature. Characterization of the catalyst was done through various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental mapping, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analyses. The kinetic study has shown the high catalytic performance of [DEIm][PF6]@MOF-5 for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (NP) compared to other catalysts. The catalyst also exhibited efficient electrochemical activity toward 4-NP reduction. The catalyst was recyclable for more than seven cycles without any significant loss in its catalytic performance. The recycled catalyst was further studied using XRD, FTIR, SEM, and TGA analyses to investigate the structural changes that occurred during the reaction. The catalyst maintained its structural integrity even after seven cycles.

Abstract
Electrochemical treatment can be an effective approach for degrading recalcitrant organic contaminants because its anode/cathode produces powerful oxidizing/reducing conditions. Herein, through the cooperation of the cathodic reductive and anodic oxidative processes, 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) was successfully degraded in an electrochemical system. TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs)/Sb-SnO2 and TNTAs/Pd were successfully prepared and served as the anode and cathode electrodes, respectively, to generate oxidative (hydroxyl radical, ·OH) and reductive (chemically adsorbed hydrogen, Hads) agents. The sequential reduction-oxidation (SRO) process provided a reasonable degradation pathway that accomplished reductive detoxification in the cathode and oxidative mineralization in the anode. The SRO mode achieved dechlorination efficiency (DE) of 86.9 ± 3.9% and TOC removal efficiency of 64.8 ± 4.2% within 3 h and under a current density of 8 mA cm-2, both of which were significantly higher than those obtained in the sequential oxidation-reduction or the simultaneous redox modes. The increment of current density and reaction time could improve 4-CP degradation performance, but a high current density would decrease the cathode stability and a longer reaction time led to the generation of ClO4-. This study has demonstrated that sequential reduction-oxidation can be an effective and tunable process for degrading recalcitrant organic contaminants.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation (EO) is a promising technology for water purification, but indirect environmental burdens may arise in association with consumption of materials and energy during electrode preparation and process operation. This study evaluated the life cycle environmental impacts of emerging EO technology from laboratory scale to industrial scale using prospective life cycle assessment (LCA) on a quantitative basis. Environmental impacts of EO technology were assessed at laboratory scale by comparing three representative anode materials (SnO2, PbO2, and boron-doped diamond) and other two typical processes (adsorption and Fenton method), which verified the competitiveness of the EO process and identified the key factors to environmental hotspots. Thereafter, LCA of scale-up EO was performed to offer guidance for practical application, and the life cycle inventory was compiled upon thermodynamic and kinetic simulations, empirical calculation rules, and similar technical information. Results demonstrated EO to be effective for destructing recalcitrant organic pollutants, but visible direct benefits might be outweighed by increased indirect environmental burdens associated with the preparation of anode materials, use of electrolytes, and energy consumption during the operation stage at both laboratory scale and larger scale. This necessitated attention to overall life cycle profiles by taking into account reactor design, anode materials, electrolyte and flow pattern, and decentralized location with a large share of renewable power station and rigorous contamination control strategies for wastewater treatment plants.

Abstract
The development of agricultural activities and industrialization recently has various adverse impacts on living organisms. The ever-increasing problem of organic pollution has been an environmental concern to the community. Among these, phenolic pollutants like 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), phenol, 2-chlorophenol (2-CP), and bisphenol-A (BPA) are priority toxic pollutants that are continuously released into environment from many industries. In this work, a biocompatible zinc oxide incorporated polyethylene glycol functionalized reduced graphene oxide composite (RGO-PEG-ZnO) was synthesized and explored for the adsorptive removal of toxic phenolic pollutants from water. The optimized adsorption parameters were solution pH 7, adsorption time 60 min, temperature 25 °C, and dosage 0.25 g/L. The isotherms were well fitted by the Langmuir model for BPA and phenol, whereas for 2-CP, and 2,4-DCP, Freundlich was the best-fitted model, and the maximum uptake of BPA, phenol, 2-CP, and 2,4-DCP were 485.756, 511.248, 531.804, 570.641 mg/g, respectively. The kinetic data for all the phenolic pollutants follow the pseudo-second-order model. The thermodynamic analysis shows that Gibb's free energy (ΔGo) values for all the pollutants were negative, confirming that the process was spontaneous. The positive values of change in enthalpy (ΔHo) 28.261, 37.205, 46.182, and 61.682 kJ/mol for BPA, phenol, 2-CP, and 2,4-DCP, respectively, confirm that the above adsorption process was endothermic. The composite can be used for up to five cycles with a small reduction in the removal percentage. Adsorption performance of the synthesized composite for synthetic industrial effluents shows that up to 86.54% removal occurred in 45 min adsorption time. Based on the remarkably rapid adsorption and high adsorption capacity, RGO-PEG-ZnO composite can be considered an efficient adsorbent for treating phenolic pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
A novel composite consisting reduced graphene oxide-functionalized beta-cyclodextrin epichlorohydrin polymer (RGO-βCD-ECH) was synthesized for the treatment of phenolic wastewater. Batch study of phenolic pollutants (2,4-dichlorophenol, 2-chlorophenol, and phenol) was analyzed using the synthesized composite as an adsorbent from an aqueous solution. The optimized parameters were temperature 25 °C, adsorption time 60 min, solution pH 7, and dosage 0.25 g/L. The isotherm data were more suitably fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum uptake for 2,4-dichlorophenol, phenol, and 2-chlorophenol was 702.853, 659.475, and 674.155 mg/g, respectively, at 25 ± 1 °C. The kinetic data for all the phenolic pollutants follow the pseudo-second-order model, and the rate was controlled by film diffusion. Thermodynamic data revealed that the process of removing phenolic pollutants is spontaneous and endothermic. The composite can be used up to five cycles with a small reduction in the removal. Adsorption performance of the synthesized composite for synthetic industrial effluents shows that up to 78% removal occurred in 60 min adsorption time. Based on the remarkably rapid adsorption and high adsorption capacity, the synthesized composite can be considered an efficient adsorbent for treating phenolic pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
Formation of chlorate (ClO3−) and perchlorate (ClO4−) as by-products in electrooxidation process has raised concern. In the present study, the formation of ClO3− and ClO4− in the presence of 1.0 mM Cl− on boron doped diamond (BDD) and Magneli phase titanium suboxide (Ti4O7) anodes were evaluated. The Cl− was transformed to ClO3− (temporal maximum 276.2 μM) in the first 0.5 h on BDD anodes with a constant current density of 10 mA cm2, while approximately 1000 μM ClO4− was formed after 4.0 h. The formation of ClO3− on the Ti4O7 anode was slower, reaching a temporary maximum of approximately 350.6 μM in 4.0 h, and the formation of ClO4− was also slower on the Ti4O7 anode, taking 8.0 h to reach 780.0 μM. Compared with the BDD anode, the rate of ClO3− and ClO4− formation on the Ti4O7 anode were always slower, regardless of the supporting electrolytes used in the experiments, including Na2SO4, NaNO3, Na2B4O7, and Na2HPO4. It is interesting that the formation of ClO4− during electrooxidation was largely mitigated or even eliminated, when methanol, KI, and H2O2 were included in the reaction solutions. The mechanism of the inhibition on Cl− transformation by electrooxidation was explored.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are widely used as efficient technologies to treat highly toxic and harmful substances in wastewater. Taking the most representative aromatic compounds (monosubstituted benzenes, substituted phenols and heterocyclic compounds) as examples, this paper firstly introduces their structures and the structural descriptors studied in AOPs before, and the influence of structural differences in AOPs with different reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the degradation rate was discussed in detail. The structure-activity relationship of pollutants has been previously analyzed through quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model, in which ROS is a very important influencing factor. When electrophilic oxidative species attacks pollutants, aromatic compounds with electron donating groups are more favorable for degradation than aromatic compounds with electron donating groups. While nucleophilic oxidative species comes to the opposite conclusion. The choice of advanced oxidation processes, the synergistic effect of various active oxygen species and the used catalysts will also change the degradation mechanism. This makes the structure-dependent activity relationship uncertain, and different conclusions are obtained under the influence of various experimental factors.

Abstract
Cemented carbide (WC–Co) is applied as the substrate instead of conventional ones such as Si, Ti, and Nb, on which nanocrystalline BDD films are deposited by hot filament chemical vapor deposition. Then the WC–Co/BDD electrodes are investigated by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Micro-Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a four-point probe method, accelerated life test (ALT), and electrochemical analysis. According to the results, the BDD films deposited on the WC–Co substrate are highly uniform and pinhole-free with a grain size of 100 nm and a low compressive stress. The WC–Co/BDD electrode has a wide potential window of 3.8 V and low background currents in 0.5 mol L−1 H2SO4 electrolytes and shows a quasi-reversible behavior in the K3[Fe(CN)6] redox system. The electrode has a service life of more than 400 h in the ALT with 3 mol L−1 H2SO4 electrolytes at a constant current density of 1 A cm−2. These electrochemical performances of BDD films on the WC–Co substrate is similar to or even slightly better than that on the commonly used substrates. Finally, phenol is used as a pollutant to test the activity of the WC–Co/BDD electrode. The results of replicated experiments show that the average COD reduces from the initial 5795 to 85 mg L−1, and the average current efficiency is about 46%. This suggests that the WC–Co/BDD electrode has a good mineralization capacity in phenol with a high concentration. WC–Co is applied as the substrate instead of conventional ones, on which nanocrystalline BDD films are deposited by HFCVD. WC–Co/BDD electrode like the standard BDD shows a wide potential window and a good mineralization capacity in phenol.![]()

Abstract
Direct charge transfer (DCT) and •OH attack played important roles in contaminant degradation by BDD electrochemical oxidation. Their separate contributions and potential bond-cleavage processes were required but lacking. Here, we carried out promising compound-specific isotope fractionation analysis (CSIA) to explore 13C and 2H isotope fractionation of atrazine (ATZ), followed by assessing the reaction pathway by BDD anode. The correlation of 2H and 13C fractionation allows to remarkably differentiate DCT process and •OH attack, with Λ values of 18.99 and 53.60, respectively. Radical quenching identified that •OH accounted for 79.0%-88.5% in the whole reaction. While CSIA methods provided biased results, which suggested that ATZ degradation exhibited two stages with •OH contributions of 24.6% and 84.3% respectively, confirming CSIA was more sensitive and provided more possibilities to estimate degradation processes. Combined with Fukui index and intermediate products identification, we deduced that dechlorination-hydroxylation mainly occurred in the first 30 min by DCT reaction. While lateral chain oxidation with C-N broken was the governing route once •OH was largely generated, with the production of DEA (m/z 188), DIA (m/z 174), DEIA (m/z 146) and DEIHA (m/z 128). Our results demonstrated that isotope fractionation can offer "isotopic footprints" for identifying the rate-limiting steps and bond breakage process, and opens new avenues for degradation pathways of contaminants.

Abstract
Degradation of phenols with different substituent groups (including -OCH3, -CHO, -NHCOCH3, -NO2, and -Cl) at boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodes has been studied previously based on the removal efficiency and •OH detection. Innovatively, formations of CO2 gas and various inorganic ions were examined to probe the mineralization process combined with quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis. As results, all phenols were efficiently degraded within 8 h with high COD removal efficiency. Three primary intermediates (hydroquinone, 1,4-benzoquinone and catechol) were identified during electrochemical oxidation and degradation pathway was proposed. More importantly, CO2 transformation efficiency ranked as: no N or Cl contained phenols (p-CHO, p-OCH3 and Ph) > N-contained phenols (p-NHCOCH3 and p-NO2) > Cl-contained phenols (p-Cl and o,p-Cl). Carbon mass balance study suggested formation of inorganic carbon (H2CO3, CO32- and HCO3-) and CO2 after organic carbon elimination. Inorganic nitrogen species (NH4+, NO3- and NO2-) and chlorine species (Cl-, ClO3- and ClO4-) were also formed after N- and Cl-contained phenols mineralization, while no volatile nitrogen species were detected. The phenols with electron-withdrawing substituents were easier to be oxidized than those with electron-donating substituents. QSAR analysis indicated that the reaction rate constant (k1) for phenols degradation was highly related to Hammett constant (∑σo,m,p) and energy gap (ELUMO - EHOMO) of the compound (R2 = 0.908), which were key parameters on evaluating the effect of structural moieties on electronic character and the chemical stability upon radical attack for a specific compound. This study presents clear evidence on mineralization mechanisms of phenols degradation at BDD anodes.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation processes usually favored specific degradation pathways depending on anode materials. In this work, a series of sulfonamides (SNs) were degraded by electrochemical oxidation. Compared to Pt anodes (0.1567–0.1795 h−1), degradation rates of SNs were much higher at boron‐doped diamond (BDD) anodes (2.4290–13.1950 h−1). However, the same intermediates were detected in the two anode systems. Due to the strong oxidizing ability of BDD anodes, a large amount of intermediates with high toxicities were initially generated and then finally reduced in the BDD anode systems, while the amount of intermediates continuously increased in the Pt anode systems. Additionally, SNs were degraded faster in Na2SO4 than NaH2PO4 electrolytes at BDD anodes, while they were similar at Pt anodes. This study demonstrated that the degradation pathways of SNs at BDD and Pt anodes were similar, but the evolutions of intermediate amounts and toxicities were different due to their varied oxidizing abilities.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation is widely used for water and wastewater treatment. Anodic material is crucial and the shape-tailored {001}-exposed TiO2 has been proven to be an ideal electrode material for pollutant oxidation. In this work, the electrochemical treatment of wastewater containing typical p-substituted phenols by facet-tailored TiO2 is studied in terms of efficiency, characteristics and mechanisms. Experimental results demonstrate that the anodic oxidation of p-substituted phenols becomes more difficult with the increasing Hammett's constant (σ) of phenols, while their degradation rates (k) increase continuously with the initial surface concentration (Γ). Phenols are degraded mainly by surface-bound ·OH and direct electron transfer on the TiO2/Ti electrode, rather than by bulk-free ·OH suspended in the aqueous phase. Theoretical calculations reveal that the surface-bound ·OH-mediated oxidation mechanism is attributed mainly to the strong surface bond strength between shape-tailored TiO2 and water molecule as well as the reactive ·OH. Such strong interactions are associated with the higher density of atomic steps, edges and kinks of low-coordinate surface atoms with a large number dangling bonds on the high-energy {001} polar facet. For practical treatment of real wastewater with different matrixes, the facet-tailored TiO2/Ti electrode exhibits both a high efficiency and a fast kinetics. Our findings provide a new chance to degrade phenolic pollutants in wastewater and offer atomic-scale insights into the preparation, modification and application of TiO2-based anodic materials for electrochemical water treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a persuasive role in the human cell physiology. Developing an efficient assay platform and a highly sensitive tracking and quantification of H2O2 in a physiological system is crucial to understand the neoplastic changes and/or redox homeostasis of cells. In this study, a novel turn-on latent electrochemical redox probe coupled with electrocatalytic signal amplification strategy is proposed. A custom-made readily available turn-on latent electrochemical probe 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid pinacol ester (4-MPBP) have been designed for the selective detection of endogenous H2O2 in live cells. The electrochemical probe composed of a latent electrochemical reporter (4-methoxy phenol, 4-MP) bearing a recognition unit (boronic acid pinacol ester) for H2O2 sensing. The selective analyte-triggered chemical transformation releases free electrochemical reporter 4-MP. The amount of H2O2 was evaluated electrochemically at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with a broad detection range of 0.5 μM-1 mM. An amplified signal response of released 4-MP to build a highly sensitive assay tool has been achieved via replacing the GCE transducer electrode with polydopamine@carbonnanotube-molebtinumdisulfie hybrid modified GCE as it delivered an exceptional dynamic detection range of 0.01-100 μM. The innovative blend of electrochemical molecular probe strategy, with electrocatalytic signal amplification technique has delivered outstanding assay performance at trace level sensing of H2O2. Next, we set up a platform for real-time in vivo monitoring of the endogenously produced H2O2 in Caco-2 and MCF-7 cells through spermine-polyamine analogue and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate induction in SSAT/PAO gene and protein kinase C, respectively. As expected, the 4-MPBP latent probe coupled with electrocatalytic signal amplification strategy delivered outstanding performance for in situ H2O2 release and tracking over time.

Abstract
Self-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (DNTA) were prepared for the electrooxidation of resistant organics. The anatase TiO2 NTAs had an improved carrier density and conductivity from Ti3+ doping, and the oxygen-evolution potential remained at a high value of 2.48 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode, and thus, achieved a highly enhanced removal efficiency of phenol. The second anodization could stabilize Ti3+ and improve the performance by removing surface TiO2 particles. Improper preparation parameters (i.e., a short anodization time, a high calcination temperature and cathodization current density) harmed the electrooxidation activity. Although boron-doped diamond (BDD) anodes performed best in removing phenol, DNTA exhibited a higher mineralization of phenol than Pt/Ti and BDD at 120 min because intermediates were oxidized once they are produced with DNTA. Mechanism investigations using reagents such as tert-butanol, oxalic acid, terephthalic acid, and coumarin showed that the DNTA mineralization resulted mainly from surface-bound OH, and the DNTA produced more than twice the amount of OH compared with BDD. The free OH on the BDD electrode was more conducive to initial substrate oxidation, whereas the adsorbed OH on the DNTA electrode mineralized the organics in situ. The preferential removal of p-substituted phenols on DNTA was attributed mainly to their electromigration and the aromatic intermediates that are hydrophobic were beneficial to mineralization.

Efficient Adsorption on Benzoyl and Stearoyl Cellulose to Remove Phenanthrene and Pyrene from Aqueous Solution. Polymers (Basel) 2018; 10:polym10091042.

Abstract
Benzoyl and stearoyl acid grafted cellulose were synthesized by a simple chemical grafting method. Using these as chemical adsorbents, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), like pyrene and phenanthrene, were effectively removed from aqueous solution. The structural and morphological properties of the synthesized adsorbents were determined through X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), FE-SEM, and NMR analyses. Through this method, it was confirmed that benzoyl and stearoyl acid were successfully grafted onto the surface of cellulose. The 5 mg of stearoyl grafted cellulose (St–Cell) remove 96.94% pyrene and 97.61% phenanthrene as compared to unmodified cellulose, which adsorbed 1.46% pyrene and 2.99% phenanthrene from 0.08 ppm pyrene and 0.8 ppm phenanthrene aqueous solution, suggesting that those results show a very efficient adsorption performance as compared to the unmodified cellulose.

Abstract
Whereas electrochemical oxidation is noted for its ability to degrade bio-refractory organics, it has also been incorrectly criticized for excessive energy consumption. The present paper rectifies this misunderstanding by demonstrating that the energy actually consumed in the degradation process is much less than that wasted in the side reaction of oxygen evolution. To minimize the side reaction, the possible highest instantaneous current efficiency (PHICE) for electrochemical oxidation of phenol at Boron-doped Diamond (BDD), Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 (PbO2), and Ti/SnO2-Sb (SnO2) anodes has been investigated systematically, and found to reach almost 100% at the BDD anode compared with 23% at the PbO2 anode and 9% at the SnO2 anode. The significant discrepancy between PHICE values at the various anodes is interpreted in terms of different existing forms of hydroxyl radicals. For each anode system, the PHICEs are maintained experimentally using a computer-controlled exponential decay current mode throughout the electrolysis process. For applications, the minimized energy consumption is predicted by response surface methodology, and demonstrated for the BDD anode system. Consequently, almost 100% current efficiency is achieved (for a relatively meagre energy consumption of 17.2 kWh kgCOD-1) along with excellent COD degradation efficiency by optimizing the initial current density, flow rate, electrolysis time, and exponential decay constant. Compared with galvanostatic conditions, over 70% of the energy is saved in the present study, thus demonstrating the great potential of electrochemical oxidation for practical applications.

Abstract
In order to strengthen the treatment efficiency of Fe0 based system for high concentration wastewater treatment, Fe0 particles were passivated by concentrated nitric acid, and a premagnetization Fe0/(passivated Fe0) system was setup for high concentration p-nitrophenol (PNP) removal in this study. The significant parameters of this system were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the premagnetization Fe0/(passivated Fe0) system could obtain high kobs value for PNP removal (0.100 min-1) and COD removal (15.0% after 60 min) for high concentration PNP (500 mg/L) treatment. In addition, five control experiments were set up to confirm the advantage of the premagnetization Fe0/(passivated Fe0) system. The results suggest that passivated Fe0 particles could be stimulated better than Fe0 particles by premagnetization process, and the premagnetization Fe0/(passivated Fe0) systems is much superior to the other five control systems. Furthermore, the pathway for PNP destruction treated by 6 different systems was also proposed according to intermediates determination by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and UV-vis spectrum, and the carbon mass balance was demonstrated according to the COD and HPLC analyses. Finally, the characteristics of (premagnetization) Fe0 and passivated Fe0 was detected by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and the mechanism of premagnetization effectively enhancing the reactivity of Fe0/(passivated Fe0) system (better than that of Fe0 system) was proposed. Consequently, the premagnetization for reactivity improvement of Fe0/(passivated Fe0) system is a promising technology to enhance the efficiency of this system for high concentration wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The interlayer of Sb-doped SnO2 (SnO2-Sb) and TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2-NTs) on Ti has been introduced into the PbO2 electrode system with the aim to reveal the mechanism of enhanced electrochemical performance of TiO2-NTs/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 electrode. In contrast with the traditional Ti/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 electrode, the constructed PbO2 electrode has a more regular and compact morphology with better oriented crystals of lower size. The TiO2-NTs/SnO2-Sb interlayer prepared by electrodeposition process improves PbO2 coating structure effectively, and enhances the electrochemical performance of PbO2 electrode. Kinetic analyses indicated that the electrochemical oxidation of nitrobenzene on the PbO2 electrodes followed pseudo-first-order reaction, and mass transport was enhanced at the constructed electrode. The accumulation of nitrocompounds of degradation intermediates on constructed electrode was lower, and almost all of the nitro groups were eliminated from aromatic rings after 6h of electrolysis. Higher combustion efficiency was obtained on the constructed TiO2-NTs/SnO2-Sb/PbO2 electrode. The intermediates of nitrobenzene oxidation were confirmed by IC and GC/MS.

Abstract
Electrolysis and ozonation are two commonly used technologies for treating wastewaters contaminated with nitrophenol pollutants. However, they are often handicapped by their slow kinetics and low yields of total organic carbon (TOC) mineralization. To improve TOC mineralization efficiency, we combined electrolysis using a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode with ozonation (electrolysis-O3) to treat a p-nitrophenol (PNP) aqueous solution. Up to 91% TOC was removed after 60 min of the electrolysis-O3 process. In comparison, only 20 and 44% TOC was respectively removed by individual electrolysis and ozonation treatment conducted under similar reaction conditions. The result indicates that when electrolysis and ozonation are applied simultaneously, they have a significant synergy for PNP mineralization. This synergy can be mainly attributed to (i) the rapid degradation of PNP to carboxylic acids (e.g., oxalic acid and acetic acid) by O3, which would otherwise take a much longer time by electrolysis alone, and (ii) the effective mineralization of the ozone-refractory carboxylic acids to CO2 by OH generated from multiple sources in the electrolysis-O3 system. The result suggests that combining electrolysis with ozonation can provide a simple and effective way to mutually compensate the limitations of the two processes for degradation of phenolic pollutants.

Abstract
This research investigated the removal mechanisms of p-nitrophenol, p-methoxyphenol, and p-benzoquinone at a porous Ti4O7 reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) under anodic polarization. Cross-flow filtration experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that p-benzoquinone removal was primarily due to reaction with electrochemically formed OH(•), while the dominant removal mechanism of p-nitrophenol and p-methoxyphenol was a function of the anodic potential. At low anodic potentials (1.7-1.8 V/SHE), p-nitrophenol and p-methoxyphenol were removed primarily by an electrochemical adsorption/polymerization mechanism on the REM. Increasing anodic potentials (1.9-3.2 V/SHE) resulted in the electroassisted adsorption mechanism contributing far less to p-methoxyphenol removal compared to p-nitrophenol. DFT calculations indicated that an increase in anodic potential resulted in a shift in p-methoxyphenol removal from a 1e(-) direct electron transfer (DET) reaction that resulted in radical formation and significant adsorption/polymerization, to a 2e(-) DET reaction that formed nonadsorbing products (i.e., p-benzoquinone). However, the anodic potentials were too low for the 2e(-) DET reaction to be thermodynamically favorable for p-nitrophenol. The decreased COD adsorption for p-nitrophenol at higher anodic potentials was attributed to reaction of soluble/adsorbed organics with OH(•). These results provide the first mechanistic explanation for p-substituted phenolic compound removal during advanced electrochemical oxidation processes.

Abstract
Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) have emerged as novel water treatment technologies for the elimination of a broad-range of organic contaminants. Considerable validation of this technology has been performed at both the bench-scale and pilot-scale, which has been facilitated by the development of stable electrode materials that efficiently generate high yields of hydroxyl radicals (OH˙) (e.g., boron-doped diamond (BDD), doped-SnO2, PbO2, and substoichiometic- and doped-TiO2). Although a promising new technology, the mechanisms involved in the oxidation of organic compounds during EAOPs and the corresponding environmental impacts of their use have not been fully addressed. In order to unify the state of knowledge, identify research gaps, and stimulate new research in these areas, this review critically analyses published research pertaining to EAOPs. Specific topics covered in this review include (1) EAOP electrode types, (2) oxidation pathways of select classes of contaminants, (3) rate limitations in applied settings, and (4) long-term sustainability. Key challenges facing EAOP technologies are related to toxic byproduct formation (e.g., ClO4(-) and halogenated organic compounds) and low electro-active surface areas. These challenges must be addressed in future research in order for EAOPs to realize their full potential for water treatment.
