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.

Abstract
Carbon-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been gradually introduced in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO), but the interface mechanism of O3 activation on the catalyst surface is still ambiguous, especially the effect of a surface hydroxyl group (M-OH) at metal sites. Herein, we combined theoretical calculations with experimental verifications to comprehensively investigate the O3 activation mechanisms on a series of conventional SAC structures with N-doped nanocarbon substrates (MN4-NCs, where M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni). The synergetic manipulation effect of the metal atom and M-OH on O3 activation pathways was paid particular attention. O3 tends to directly interact with the metal atom on MnN4-NC, FeN4-NC, and NiN4-NC catalysts, among which MnN4-NC has the best catalytic activity for its relatively lower activation energy barrier of O3 (0.62 eV) and more active surface-adsorbed oxygen species (Oads). On the CoN4-NC catalyst, direct interaction of O3 with the metal site is energetically infeasible, but O3 can be activated to generate Oads or HO2 species from direct or indirect participation of M-OH sites. The experimental results showed that 90.7 and 82.3% of total organic carbon (TOC) was removed within 40 min during catalytic ozonation of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with MnN4-NC and CoN4-NC catalysts, respectively. Phosphate quenching, catalyst characterization, and EPR measurement further supported the theoretical prediction. This contribution provides fundamental insights into the O3 activation mechanism on SACs, and the methods and ideals could be helpful for future studies of environmental catalysis.

Abstract
An industrially viable catalyst for heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO) in water purification requires the characteristics of good dispersion of active species on its surface, efficient electron transfer for ozone decay, and maximum active species utilization. While metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an attractive platform for HCO, the metal nodes in the unmodified MOFs exhibit low catalytic activity. Herein, we present a perfluorinated Fe-MOF catalyst by substituting H atoms on the metalated ligands with F atoms (termed 4F-MIL-88B) to induce structure evolution. The Lewis acidity of 4F-MIL-88B was enhanced via the formation of Fe nodes, tailoring the electron distribution on the catalyst surface. As a result of catalyst modification, the rate constant for degradation of the target compounds examined increased by ∼700% compared with that observed for the unmodified catalyst. Experimental evidence and theoretical calculations showed that the modulated polarity and the enhanced electron transfer between the catalyst and ozone molecules contributed to the adsorption and transformation of O3 to •OH on the catalyst surface. Overall, the results of this study highlight the significance of tailoring the metalated ligands to develop highly efficient and stable MOF catalysts for HCO and provide an in-depth mechanistic understanding of their structure-function evolution, which is expected to facilitate the applications of nanomaterial-based processes in water purification.

Abstract
In this study, catalytic ozonation by Fe-Al2O3 was used to investigate the defluorination of PFOA and PFOS, assessing the effects of different experimental conditions on the defluorination efficiency of the system. The oxidation mechanism of the Fe-Al2O3/O3 system and the specific degradation and defluorination mechanisms for PFOA and PFOS were determined. Results showed that compared to the single O3 system, the defluorination rates of PFOA and PFOS increased by 2.32- and 5.92-fold using the Fe-Al2O3/O3 system under optimal experimental conditions. Mechanistic analysis indicated that in Fe-Al2O3, the variable valence iron (Fe) and functional groups containing C and O served as important reaction sites during the catalytic process. The co-existence of 1O2, OH, O2- and high-valence Fe(IV) constituted a synergistic oxidation system consisting of free radicals and non-radicals, promoting the degradation and defluorination of PFOA and PFOS. DFT theoretical calculations and the analysis of intermediate degradation products suggested that the degradation pathways of PFOA and PFOS involved Kolbe decarboxylation, desulfonation, alcoholization and intramolecular cyclization reactions. The degradation and defluorination pathways of PFOA and PFOS consisted of the stepwise removal of -CF2-, with PFOS exhibiting a higher defluorination rate than PFOA due to its susceptibility to electrophilic attack. This study provides a theoretical basis for the development of heterogeneous catalytic ozonation systems for PFOA and PFOS treatment.

Enhanced removal strategy towards organic matter with low coagulability: Immediate entrapment and complexation of oxidized intermediates by the hybrid ozonation-coagulation process. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133288. [PMID: 38154182 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
The existence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) with low coagulability poses great challenges for conventional coagulation (CC) in water treatment. As a kind of typical organochlorine pesticide, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) cannot be efficiently removed by CC. To enhance the 2,4-D removal, ozonation was applied with coagulation. The hybrid ozonation-coagulation (HOC) achieved 60.61% DOC removal efficiency, which was obviously higher than pre-ozonation coagulation (POC) (45.83%). Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy revealed stronger complexation between modified 2,4-D and coagulants during the HOC than that in subsequent coagulation of the POC process. During the HOC process, ozone promoted the formation of polymeric Al species, such as Alb. To investigate the 2,4-D removal mechanism, γ-Al2O3/O3 process with the same oxidation ability as the HOC was established. 2,4-D was oxidized step-by-step to 2,4-dichlorophenol, 4,6-dichlororesorcin, 3,5-dichlorocatechol, 2-chlorohydroquinone, 4-chlorocatechol, 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene, pentahydroxybenzene and oxalic acid in γ-Al2O3/O3 process. However, during the HOC process, these oxidized intermediates were readily complexed by coagulants and accumulated in flocs. Especially 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene and pentahydroxybenzene, completely complexed by AlCl3•6H2O hydrolysates as soon as being formed. Immediate entrapment and complexation between coagulant hydrolysates and 2,4-D oxidized intermediates inhibited the generation of small-molecular-weight organics such as oxalic acid, which enhanced the removal of organics with low coagulability.

Abstract
In water purification, the performance of heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes significantly relies upon the utilization of the catalyst's specific surface area (SSA). However, the presence of the structural "dead volume" and pore-size-induced diffusion-reaction trade-off limitation restricts the functioning of the SSA. Here, we reported an effective approach to make the best SSA by changing the traditional 3D spherule catalyst into a 2D-like form and creating an in situ micro-nanolinked structure. Thus, a 2D-like catalyst was obtained which was characterized by a mini "paddy field" surface, and it exhibited a sharply decreased dead volume, a highly available SSA and oriented flexibility. Given its paddy-field-like mass-transfer routine, the organic capture capability was 7.5-fold higher than that of the catalyst with mesopores only. Moreover, such a catalyst exhibited a record-high O3-to-·OH transition rate of 2.86 × 10-8 compared with reported millimetric catalysts (metal base), which contributed to a 6.12-fold higher total organic removal per catalyst mass than traditional 3D catalysts. The facile scale preparation, performance stability, and significant material savings with the 2D-like catalyst were also beneficial for practical applications. Our findings provide a unique and general approach for designing potential catalysts with excellent performance in water purification.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the dynamic simulation models provided by Aspen adsorption (ASPAD) and artificial neural network (ANN) in understanding the adsorption behavior of atenolol (ATN) on gasified Glyricidia sepium woodchips activated carbon (GGSWAC) within fixed bed columns for wastewater treatment. The findings demonstrated that increasing the bed height from 1 to 3 cm extended breakthrough and exhaustion times while enhancing adsorption capacity. Conversely, higher initial ATN concentrations resulted in shorter breakthrough and exhaustion times but increased adsorption capacity. Elevated influent flow rates reduced breakthrough and exhaustion times while maintaining constant adsorption capacity. The ASPAD software demonstrated competence in accurately modeling the crucial exhaustion points. However, there is room for enhancement in forecasting breakthrough times, as it exhibited deviations ranging from 6.52 to 239.53% when compared to the actual experimental data. ANN models in both MATLAB and Python demonstrated precise predictive abilities, with the Python model (R2 = 0.985) outperforming the MATLAB model (R2 = 0.9691). The Python ANN also exhibited superior fitting performance with lower MSE and MAE. The most influential factor was the initial ATN concentration (28.96%), followed by bed height (26.39%), influent flow rate (22.43%), and total effluent time (22.22%). The findings of this study offer an extensive comprehension of breakthrough patterns and enable accurate forecasts of column performance.

Abstract
The essential factor of catalytic ozonation technology relies on an efficient and stable catalyst. The construction of highly dispersed active sites on heterogeneous catalysts is an ideal strategy to combine the merits of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis with high activity and stability. Herein, an iron-containing mesoporous silica material (Fe-SBA15) with sufficient iron site exposure and enhanced intrinsic activity of active sites was employed to activate ozone for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation. Approximately 100% of BPA and 36.6% of total organic carbon (TOC) removal were realized by the Fe-SBA15 catalytic ozonation strategy with a reaction constant of 0.076 min-1, well beyond the performance of FeOx/SBA15 mixture and Fe2O3. Radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis demonstrated that the hydroxyl radicals (HO•) and superoxide radicals (O2•-) played an important role in the degradation process. The iron sites with recyclable Fe(III)/Fe(II) pairs act as both the electron donors and active sites for catalytic ozonation. The mesoporous framework of SBA15 in Fe-SBA15 stabilizes the iron sites that enhance its stability. With high catalytic performance and high reusability for catalytic ozonation of BPA, the Fe-SBA15 is expected to be a promising catalyst in catalytic ozonation for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, N-doped Mn3O4 catalysts (Mn-nN) with electron-dense Mn sites were synthesized and employed in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO). These catalysts demonstrated excellent performance in pyrazines degradation and odor elimination. The synthesis of Mn-nN was achieved through a facile urea-assisted heat treatment method. Experimental characterization and theoretical analyses revealed that the MnN structures in Mn-nN, played a crucial role in facilitating the formation of electron-dense Mn sites that served as the primary active sites for ozone activation. In particular, Mn-1N exhibited excellent performance in the HCO system, demonstrating the highest 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (2,5-DMP) degradation efficiency. •OH was confirmed as the primary reactive oxygen species involved in the HCO process. The second-order rate constants for 2,5-DMP degradation with O3 and •OH, were determined to be (3.75 ± 0.018) × 10-1 and (6.29 ± 0.844) × 109 M-1 s-1, respectively. Seventeen intermediates were identified through GC-MS analysis during the degradation of 2,5-DMP via HCO process with Mn-1N. The degradation pathways were subsequently proposed by considering these identified intermediates. This study introduces a novel approach to synthesize N-doped Mn3O4 catalysts and demonstrates their efficacy in HCO for the degradation of pyrazines and the elimination of associated odors. The results show that the catalysts are promising for addressing odor-related environmental issues and provide valuable insights about the broader significance of catalytic ozonation processes.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO) has gained increasing attention as an effective process to remove refractory organic pollutants from industrial effluents. However, widespread application of HCO is still limited due to the typically low efficacy of catalysts used and matrix passivation effects. To this end, we prepared an Al2O3-supported Fe catalyst with high reactivity via a facile urea-based heterogeneous precipitation method. Due to the nonsintering nature of the preparation method, a heterogeneous catalytic layer comprised of γ-FeOOH and α-Fe2O3 is formed on the Al2O3 support (termed NS-Fe-Al2O3). On treatment of a real industrial effluent by HCO, the presence of NS-Fe-Al2O3 increased the removal of organics by ∼100% compared to that achieved with a control catalyst (i.e., α-Fe2O3/Al2O3 or γ-FeOOH/Al2O3) that was prepared by a conventional impregnation and calcination method. Furthermore, our results confirmed that the novel NS-Fe-Al2O3 catalyst demonstrated resistance to the inhibitory effect of high concentration of chloride and sulfate ions usually present in industrial effluent. A mathematical kinetic model was developed that adequately describes the mechanism of HCO process in the presence of NS-Fe-Al2O3. Overall, the results presented here provide valuable guidance for the synthesis of effective and robust catalysts that will facilitate the wider industrial application of HCO.

Abstract
To overcome the low catalytic efficiency, insufficient catalyst strength, and poor ozone circulation in the advanced treatment of secondary wastewater, a hollow cylindrical Fe-Cu-Ce-Mn/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by the step impregnation method. Compared with the common impregnation method, the step impregnation method produced a more uniform and compact distribution of each metal element, which was more conducive to generating the synergistic effect of various metals; thus, increasing the mineralization rate of organic matter. The hollow cylindrical design ensured the strength of the catalyst and the circulation of ozone. The reduction of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) was compared under different experimental conditions, with the optimal conditions found to be an ozone contact time of 40 min and ozone dosage of 40 mg/L. The average COD, ammonia nitrogen, and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (UV254) removal rates were 36%, 19%, and 20%, respectively. After 3 weeks of continuous experiment, the removal rate was still high. Following analysis by three dimensional fluorescence, GC-MS, and the molecular weight detection of water samples before and after treatment, it was found that the catalyst enhanced the effect of ozone on wastewater treatment, with a significant removal of tryptophan-like aromatic proteins and soluble microbial metabolites, and the removal of most of the small molecular organic matter. In addition, part of the refractory organic matter could be converted into easily degradable organic matter, which greatly improved the biodegradability and mineralization rate of wastewater, and provided good conditions for subsequent treatment.

Abstract
Due to its low interfacial electron migration ability and highly hydrophilic, Fe-MCM-41 (FeM) had poor activity and stability during catalytic ozonation. To this end, the secondary metal Zn and Si-F group were introduced into the framework of FeM to create surface potential difference and hydrophobic sites. Comparative characterizations showed that there existed rich acid sites with great potential difference on F-Fe-Zn-MCM-41 (FFeZnM). Additionally, because of the existence of hydrophobic and electron-withdrawing Si-F unit, the electron migration ability, hydrophobicity and acidity of FFeZnM were enhanced. The greater O3 mass transfer was induced by Si-F group and O3 was directly activated at Fe and Zn Lewis acid sites into •OH, •O2- and 1O2. With •OH acting as main species, FFeZnM/O3 achieved the superior IBP removal (93.4%, 30 min) and TOC removal (46.6%, 120 min) over those of sole O3 and F-FeM/O3 processes, respectively. HCO3-, Cl-, NO3- and SO42- hindered IBP degradation by FFeZnM/O3, but high concentration humic acid (HA) exhibited promotion by forming HA-IBP complex. IBP degradation by FFeZnM/O3 was enhanced with tap water, river water, and effluent from the secondary sedimentation tank of the sewage plant acting as medium. This study proposed an innovative approach to catalyst design for catalytic ozonation.

Roles of catalytic ozonation by bimetallic Fe/Ce loading sludge-derived biochar in amelioration of sludge dewaterability: Performance and implementation mechanisms.

Abstract
In this study, an environmentally friendly alternative was developed using catalytic ozonation by sludge-derived biochar loaded with bimetallic Fe/Ce (O3/SBC-FeCe) for enhanced sludge dewatering. The results indicated that the lowest capillary suction time (CST) of 20.9 s and water content of dewatered sludge cake (Wc) of 64.09% were achieved under the dosage of 40 mg O3/g dry solids (DS) and 0.4 g SBC-FeCe/g DS which were considered as the optimum condition. In view of excellent electron exchanging capacity of SBC-FeCe with rich Lewis acid sites and conversions of valence sates of Fe and Ce, more O3 were decomposed into reactive oxygen species under the catalytic action of SBC-FeCe, which strengthened oxidizing capacity. Enhanced oxidation rendered sludge cells inactivation and compact network structure rupture releasing intracellular water and organic substances. Subsequently, hydrophilic organic matters were attacked and eliminated lessening sludge viscosity and colloidal forces and intensifying hydrophobicity and flowability. In addition, changes of sludge morphology suggested that sludge roughness was alleviated, structural strength and compressibility were raised and porous and retiform structure was constructed providing channels for water outflow by adding skeleton builder of SBC-FeCe. Overall, the synergistic interaction of strengthened oxidation and skeleton construction improved sludge dewaterability.

Abstract
Iron-rich red mud (RM) is a potential catalyst. However, as industrial waste, is strongly alkaline, low effectiveness, and safety concerns are problems that cannot be ignored, it is urgent to mine out a reasonable disposal and utilization technology for the waste. In this study, an effective catalyst (H-RM) was obtained by facile hydrogenation heating modification of red mud. Then above-prepared H-RM was applied in the catalytic ozonation degradation of levofloxacin (LEV). The H-RM exhibited more remarkable catalytic activities than the RM in terms of LEV degradation, and the optimal efficiency can reach over 90% within 50 min. The mechanism experiment proved that the concentration of dissolved ozone and hydroxyl radical (•OH) significantly increased, which enhanced the oxidation effect. Hydroxyl radical played a dominant role in the degradation of LEV. In the safety test, it is concluded that the concentration of total hexavalent chromium (total Cr(Ⅵ)) in the H-RM catalyst decreases and the leaching concentration of water-soluble Cr(Ⅵ) in aqueous solution is low. The results indicated that the hydrogenation technique is an available Cr (Ⅵ) detoxification method for RM. Moreover, the H-RM has excellent catalytic stability, which is beneficial to recycling and maintains high activity. This research provides an effective means to fulfill the reuse of industrial waste as an alternative to standard raw materials, and comprehensive utilization of the waste to attain the purpose of treating pollution with wastes.

Abstract
The design of a micro-/nanoreactor is of great significance for catalytic ozonation, which can achieve effective mass transfer and expose powerful reaction species. Herein, the mesoporous carbon with atomic Fe-N4 sites embedded in the ordered carbon nanochannels (Fe-N4/CMK-3) was synthesized by the hard-template method. Fe-N4/CMK-3 can be employed as nanoreactors with preferred electronic and geometric catalytic microenvironments for the internal catalytic ozonation of CH3SH. During the CH3SH oxidation process, the mass transfer coefficient of the Fe-N4/CMK-3 confined system with sufficient O3 transfer featured a level of at least 1.87 × 10-5, which is 34.6 times that of the Fe-N4/C-Si unconfined system. Detailed experimental studies and theoretical calculations demonstrated that the anchored atomic Fe-N4 sites and nanoconfinement effects regulated the local electronic structure of the catalyst and promoted the activation of O3 molecules to produce atomic oxygen species (AOS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), eventually achieving efficient oxidation of CH3SH into CO2/SO42-. Benefiting from the high diffusion rate and the augmentation of AOS/ROS, Fe-N4/CMK-3 exhibited an excellent poisoning tolerance, along with high catalytic durability. This contribution provides the proof-of-concept strategy for accelerating catalytic ozonation of sulfur-containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by combining confined catalysis and atomic catalysts and can be extended to the purification of other gaseous pollutants.

Abstract
Superoxide radicals (O2•-) have been suggested as an important chain carrier in the radical chain reaction that promotes ozone (O3) decomposition to hydroxyl radicals (•OH) during ozonation. However, due to the difficulty in measuring transient O2•- concentrations, this hypothesis has not been verified under realistic ozonation conditions during water treatment. In this study, a probe compound was used in combination with kinetic modeling to evaluate the role of O2•- for O3 decomposition during ozonation of synthetic solutions with model promotors and inhibitors (methanol and acetate or tert-butanol) and natural waters (one groundwater and two surface waters). By measurement of the abatement of spiked tetrachloromethane (as a O2•- probe), the O2•- exposure during ozonation was determined. Based on the measured O2•- exposures, the relative contribution of O2•- to O3 decomposition, in comparison to OH-, •OH, and dissolved organic matter (DOM), was quantitatively evaluated using kinetic modeling. The results show that water compositions (e.g., the concentration of promotors and inhibitors, and the O3 reactivity of DOM) have a considerable effect on the extent of the O2•--promoted radical chain reaction during ozonation. In general, the reaction with O2•- accounted for ∼59‒70% and ∼45‒52% of the overall O3 decomposition during ozonation of the selected synthetic solutions and natural waters, respectively. This confirms that O2•- plays a critical role in promoting O3 decomposition to •OH. Overall, this study provides new insights on the controlling factors for ozone stability during ozonation processes.

Abstract
Chronic oral diseases are boring, long-term, and discomfort intense diseases, which endanger the physical and mental health of patients constantly. Traditional therapeutic methods based on medicines (including swallowing drugs, applying ointment, or injection in situ) bring much inconvenience and discomfort. A new method possessing accurate, long-term, stable, convenient, and comfortable features is in great need. In this study, we demonstrated a development of one spontaneous administration for the prevention and therapy on a series of oral diseases. By uniting dental resin and medicine-loaded mesoporous molecular sieve, nanoporous medical composite resin (NMCR) was synthesized by a simple physical mixing and light curing method. Physicochemical investigations of XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-vis, N2 adsorption, and biochemical experiments of antibacterial and pharmacodynamic evaluation on periodontitis treatment of SD rats were carried on to characterize an NMCR spontaneous medicine delivery system. Compared to existing pharmacotherapy and in situ treatments, NMCR can keep a quite long time of stable in situ medicine release during the whole therapeutic period. Taking the periodontitis treatment as an instance, the probing pocket depth value in a half-treatment time of 0.69 from NMCR@MINO was much lower than that of 1.34 from the present commercial Periocline ointment, showing an over two times effect.

Abstract
Catalyst deactivation is an ongoing concern for industrial application of catalytic ozonation processes. In this study, we systematically investigated the performance of a catalytic ozonation process employing Fe2O3/Al2O3•SiO2 catalyst for the treatment of coal chemical industry (CCI) wastewater using pilot-scale and laboratory-scale systems. Our results show that the activity of the Fe2O3/Al2O3•SiO2 catalyst for organic contaminant removal deteriorated over time due to formation of a dense and thin carbonaceous layer on the Fe2O3 catalyst surface. EPR and fluorescence imaging analysis confirm that the passivation layer essentially inhibited the O3-catalyst interaction thereby minimizing formation of surficial •OH and associated oxidation of organic contaminants on the catalyst surface. Calcination was demonstrated to be effective in restoring the activity of the catalyst since the carbonaceous layer could be efficiently combusted during calcination to re-establish the surficial •OH-mediated oxidation process. The combustion of the carbonaceous layer and restoration of the Fe layer on the surface on calcination was confirmed based on SEM-EDX, FTIR and thermogravimetric analysis. Cost analysis indicates that regeneration using calcination is economically viable compared to catalyst replacement. The results of this study are expected to pave the way for developing appropriate regeneration techniques for deactivated catalysts and optimising the catalyst synthesis procedure.

Abstract
Colloids are wide-spread in natural waters and colloid-facilitated transport via adsorption was established as the most important mechanism for the mobilization of aqueous contaminants. This study reports another possible, but reasonable, role of colloids for the contaminants driven by redox reactions. Under the same conditions (pH 6.0, 0.3 ml 30% H2O2, and 25 °C), the degradation efficiencies of methylene blue (MB) at 240 min over Fe colloid, Fe ion, Fe oxide and Fe(OH)3 were 95.38%, 42.66%, 4.42% and 9.40%. We suggested that, Fe colloid can promote the H2O2 based in-situ chemical oxidation process (ISCO) compared with other iron species such as Fe(Ⅲ) ion, Fe oxide and Fe(OH)3 in natural water. Furthermore, the MB removal via adsorption by Fe colloid was only 1.74% at 240 min. Hence, the occurrence, behavior and fate of MB in Fe colloid containing natural water system mainly depends on the reduction-oxidation rather than adsorption-desorption process. Based on the mass balance of colloidal iron species and characterization of iron configurations distribution, Fe oligomers were the active and dominant components for Fe colloid-driven enhanced H2O2 activation among three types of Fe species. The quick and steady conversion of Fe(III) to Fe(II) was proven to be reason why Fe colloid can efficiently react with H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radicals.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 233:119761. [PMID: 36841166 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119761] [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: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Drinking water sludge (DWS) and waste activated sludge (WAS) are usually treated separately. With the continuous deepening understanding of the characteristics of two types sludge, the research and application of the collaborative disposal is worth considering. The heated modification DWS (HDWS) rich in inorganic matter and aluminum (Al2O3) can be used as a conditioner to enhance WAS dewaterability using its properties with physical skeleton and chemically catalyzed ozone (O3). The results showed that the minimum values of capillary water time (CST) and specific resistance filtration (SRF) for WAS were 20.9±2.40 s and 1.07±0.19×1013 m/kg at pH=4, O3 dosage=60 mg/g VS and HDWS dosage=700 mg/g VS, corresponding to the reduction of sludge cake water content (Wc) to 60.37±0.97 %. The mechanism of HDWS+O3 enhanced WAS dewaterability was systematically elucidated through pyridine-infrared analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The surface of Al2O3 in HDWS had more Lewis acidic sites, and the oxygen atoms of O3 combined with Al atoms to form Al-O bonds and undergo electron transfer, while O3 molecules dissociated to produce more hydroxyl radicals (·OH). With the oxidation of ·OH, the extra-microcolony/cellular polymers (EMPS/ECPS) structure were destroyed and became looser, promoting the conversion of internal moisture to free moisture. Zeta potential tended to zero, particle size increased, and the surface was more hydrophobic. Correlation analysis revealed that the component content, protein (PN) secondary structure and molecular weight (MW) in ECPS were positively and more strongly correlated with the sludge dewaterability compared to EMPS. The discovery of HDWS+O3 applied to effectively enhance WAS dewaterability provided an inspiring perspective on the emerging DWS and WAS co-processing disposition.

Abstract
Development of robust, reactive, and inexpensive catalyst for pollutants abatement with catalytic ozonation is of great significance. Herein, the effect of a robust and easy-recovery catalyst, Fe2O3/Al2O3-SiC, for the catalytic ozonation of hardly biodegradable COD (hard COD) in coking wastewater had been explored. Al-O-Si bond formed on modified SiC through the substitution of hydrogen in surficial Si-OH groups by Al3+. The Lewis acid sites improved the adsorption of ozone and facilitated the formation of ·OH and O2·-. For coking wastewater treatment, the removal ratio of hard COD and the generation speed of hydroxyl radical (Rct) in the catalytic ozonation process were 71% and 253% higher than those in the ozonation group, respectively. Ozone utilization increased from 0.44 g COD removed/g O3 in the ozonation group to 1.42 g COD removed/g O3 in the Fe2O3/Al2O3-SiC catalytic ozonation group. In a full-scale application, Fe2O3/Al2O3-SiC catalytic ozonation decreased the consumption of O3 to 60 mg L-1 and decreased the operation cost by 50%. These results provided an approachable way for sharing the extraordinary capacity of ozone for contaminants remediation in industrial applications.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 860:160473.

Abstract
It is a feasible strategy to prepare reliable biochar catalysts for heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO) processes by using inexpensive, high quality, and easily available raw materials. Here, an environmentally friendly, simple, and green biochar catalyst rich in nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) has been prepared by the pyrolysis of kelp. Compared with directly carbonized kelp biomass (KB), acid-activated KB (KBA) and base-activated KB (KBB) have higher specific surface areas and more extensive porous structures, although only KBB displays effective ozone activation. Imazapic (IMZC), a refractory organic herbicide, was chosen as the target pollutant, which has apparently not hitherto been investigated in the HCO process. Second-order rate constants (k) for the reactions of IMZC with three different reactive oxygen species (ROS), specifically kO3, IMZC, kOH, IMZC, and k1O2, IMZC, have been determined as 0.974, 2.48 × 109, and 6.23 × 105 M-1 s-1, respectively. The amounts of graphitic N and thiophene S derived from the intrinsic N and S showed good correlations with the IMZC degradation rate, implicating them as the main active sites. OH and O2- and 1O2 were identified as main ROS in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation system for IMZC degradation. This study exemplified the utilization of endogenous N and S in biological carbon, and provided more options for the application of advanced oxidation processes and the development of marine resources.

Abstract
In this study, manganese oxide (MnO) dispersed on CN (Mn-nCN) was fabricated as a catalyst in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO), achieving excellent catalytic performance on refractory organic pollutant degradation via the synergistic effects between MnO and CN. The study demonstrated that the C-N-Mn and C-O-Mn bonds constructed in the catalyst linking MnO and CN created the synergistic effects which could overcome typical problems, such as metal leaching etc. The C-N-Mn and C-O-Mn bonds could promote electron transfer from cation-π reactions to form electron-rich Mn(II) sites and electron-poor CN sites. The electron-rich Mn(II) sites as active sites supplied electrons to ozone which then further evolved into reactive oxygen species (ROS). The electron-poor CN sites captured electrons from the pollutant intermediate radicals to electron-rich Mn(II) sites via cation-π reactions with the help of C-N-Mn and C-O-Mn bonds, which promote the redox reactions of Mn. The surface hydroxyl groups also participated in ozone decomposition and ROS production. Additionally, •OH was the dominant ROS of the Mn-nCN HCO processes. This study presents the excellent HCO performance of Mn-nCN, as well as provides views on the electron transfer route between the catalyst, pollutant and ozone, which is crucial for the design of the catalyst.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO) was a promising water purification technology. Designing novel metal-based catalysts and exploring their structural-activity relationship continued to be a hot topic in HCO. Herein, we reviewed the recent development of metal-based catalysts (including monometallic and polymetallic catalysts) in HCO. Regulation of metal based active sites (surface hydroxyl groups, Lewis acid sites, metal redox cycle and surface defect) and their key roles in activating O3 were explored. Advantage and disadvantage of conventional characterization techniques on monitoring metal active sites were claimed. In situ electrochemical characterization and DFT simulation were recommended as supplement to reveal the metal active species. Though the ambiguous interfacial behaviors of O3 at these active sites, the existence of interfacial electron migration was beyond doubt. The reported metal-based catalysts mainly served as electron donator for O3, which resulted in the accumulation of oxidized metal and reduced their activity. Design of polymetallic catalysts could accelerate the interfacial electron migration, but they still faced with the dilemma of sluggish Me(n+m)+/Men+ redox cycle. Alternative strategies like coupling active metal species with mesoporous silicon materials, regulating surface hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties, polaring surface electron distribution, coupling HCO process with photocatalysis and H2O2 were proposed for future research.

Abstract
In this study, expanded graphite (EG) was prepared by the oxidation and intercalation of the natural flake graphite using perchloric acid and potassium permanganate at different expansion temperatures (300, 400, 500, and 600°C), and were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). EG prepared at 500°C was found to be highly effective for the mineralization of oxalic acid aqueous solution during ozonation at pH 3, which was ascribed to the formation of hydroxyl radicals from the surface reaction of surface hydroxyl groups on EG with ozone. The performance of expanded graphite in this catalytic system was basically unchanged after three repeated use. The presence of Cl-, SO42-, HPO42-/H2PO4- and NO3- could inhibit the degradation of oxalic acid in catalytic ozonation with EG. Degradations of oxamic acid and pyruvic acid in catalytic ozonation with EG were pH-dependent, which were lower than that of oxalic acid. The degradations of oxalic acid and oxamic acid were identified as mineralization process by the determination of TOC, while pyruvic acid may transform into organic products such as acetic acid by O3/EG. Manganese ion (Mn2+) could promote the degradation of oxalic acid by O3/EG at pH 3 because permanganate was produced by O3/EG in oxalic acid solution and then reacted with oxalic acid readily at acidic pH. Catalytic ozonation by EG exhibited great application potential for the destruction of refractory organic compounds.

Abstract
With the continuous development of nanomaterials in recent years, the application of nanocatalysts in catalytic ozone oxidation has attracted more and more researchers' attention due to their excellent catalytic properties. In this review, we systematically summarized the current research status of nanocatalysts mainly involving material categories, mechanisms and catalytic efficiency. Based on summary and analysis, we found most of the reported nanocatalysts were in the stage of laboratory research, which was caused by the nanocatalysts defects such as easy aggregation, difficult separation, and easy leakage. These defects might result in severe resource waste, economic loss and potentially adverse effects imposed on the ecosystem and human health. Aiming at solving these defects, we further analyzed the reasons and the existing reports, and revealed that coupling nano-catalyst and membrane, supported nanocatalysts and magnetic nanocatalysts had promising potential in solving these problems and promoting the actual application of nanocatalysts in wastewater treatment. Furthermore, the advantages, shortages and our perspectives of these methods are summarized and discussed.

Catalytic ozonation of sulfamethoxazole using low-cost natural silicate ore supported Fe 2O 3: influencing factors, reaction mechanisms and degradation pathways. RSC Adv 2023; 13:1906-1913. [PMID: 36712632 PMCID: PMC9832326 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra06714e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
A low-cost natural silicate ore supported Fe2O3 (FeSO) was synthesized for catalytic ozonation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). XRD, SEM-EDS, BET, FTIR and XPS results of the FeSO catalyst confirmed that the natural silicate ore was successfully modified with iron oxide. The effects of key factors, such as catalyst dosage, initial solution pH, reaction temperature, inorganic anions and initial concentration, on ozonation degradation were systemically investigated. The degradation rate of SMX (20 mg L-1) was 88.1% after 30 min, compared with only 35.1% SMX degradation rate in the absence of the catalyst, and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal reached 49.1% after 60 min. Reaction mechanisms revealed that surface hydroxyl groups of FeSO were a critical factor for hydroxyl radical (˙OH) production leading to fast SMX degradation in the ozone decomposition process. The degradation products were detected, and the possible pathways of SMX were then proposed. This study provides guidance for preparing a low-cost catalyst and analyzing the degradation products and pathways of SMX in the ozonation process, which is of significance in practical industrial applications.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical-dominated oxidation in catalytic ozonation is, in particular, important in water treatment scenarios for removing organic contaminants, but the mechanism about ozone-based radical oxidation processes is still unclear. Here, we prepared a series of transitional metal (Co, Mn, Ni) single-atom catalysts (SACs) anchored on graphitic carbon nitride to accelerate ozone decomposition and produce highly reactive ·OH for oxidative destruction of a water pollutant, oxalic acid (OA). We experimentally observed that, depending on the metal type, OA oxidation occurred dominantly either in the bulk phase, which was the case for the Mn catalyst, or via a combination of the bulk phase and surface reaction, which was the case for the Co catalyst. We further performed density functional theory simulations and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy to propose that the ozone activation pathway differs depending on the oxygen binding energy of metal, primarily due to differential adsorption of O3 onto metal sites and differential coordination configuration of a key intermediate species, *OO, which is collectively responsible for the observed differences in oxidation mechanisms and kinetics.

Abstract
The sight into photoconversion of toluene, a ubiquitous typical pollutant, attentively by the involvement of PM2.5 in the real air environment is crucial for controlling haze pollution. Compared with the large-size PM2.5 on normal day (PM2.5-ND), the PM2.5 on haze day (PM2.5-HD) formed of small particle agglomerates featured greater oxidation capability, evidenced by the valence distribution of sulfur species. Notably, PM2.5-HD had abundant O2-• and •OH and participated in the photochemical reaction of toluene, giving it a greater toluene conversion with a first-order kinetic rate constant of 0.4 d-1 on haze day than on normal day (0.2 d-1). During the toluene photoconversion, isotopic labelling traced small molecules including benzene and newfound pentane, ethylbenzene, 1,3,8-p-menthatriene and 4-methyl-1-pentanone benzene that could be formed by methyl breakage, ring opening, fragmentation reforming and addition reaction of toluene. Given ADMET properties, 1,3,8-p-menthatriene was assigned high priority since it had poor metabolism, low excretion and severe toxicity, while benzene and 4-methyl-1-pentanone benzene should also be noticeable. FT-ICR MS results indicated that toluene could create multiple macromolecular products that are more sensitive to SOA generation in haze air matrix with broader carbon number and O/C, more oxygenated substitution with CHO/CHON occupying by 81.4%, lower DBEaverage at 4.66 and higher OSC‾ at -1.60 than normal air matrix. Accordingly, a photochemical reaction mechanism for toluene in real air atmosphere was proposed. The stronger oxidation property of PM2.5 not only facilitated toluene to generate small molecules but also boosted the conversion of intermediates to oxygenated macromolecular products, contributing to the formation of SOA.

Abstract
The use of parabens in personal care products can result in their leakage into water bodies, especially in public swimming pools with insufficient water treatment. We found that ferrite-based nanomaterials could catalytically enhance ozone efficiency through the production of reactive oxygen species. Our objective was to develop a catalytic ozonation system using ternary nanocomposites that could minimize the ozone supply while ensuring the treated water was acceptable for disposal into the environment. A ternary CuFe2O4/CuO/Fe2O3 nanocomposite (CF) delivered excellent degradation performance in catalytic ozonation systems for butylparaben (BP). By calcining with melamine, we obtained the CF/g-C3N4 (CFM) nanocomposite, which had excellent magnetic separation properties with slightly lower degradation efficiency than CF, due to possible self-agglomeration that reduced its electron capture ability. The presence of other constituent ions in synthetic wastewater and actual discharge water resulted in varying degradation rates due to the formation of secondary active radicals. 1O2 and •O2− were the main dominant reactive species for BP degradation, which originated from the O3 adsorption that occurs on the CF≡Cu(I)−OH and CF≡Fe(III)−OH surface, and from the reaction with •OH from indirect ozonation. Up to 50% of O3-treated water resulted in >80% ELT3 cell viability, the presence of well-adhered cells, and no effect on the young tip of Ceratophyllum demersum L. Overall, our results demonstrated that both materials could be potential catalysts for ozonation because of their excellent degrading performance and, consequently, their non-toxic by-products.

Abstract
An affordable and sustainable tertiary treatment is imperative to solve the secondary contamination issues related to wastewater reuse. To decontaminate and disinfect the actual secondary treated wastewater, various types of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been studied. The optimization of the oxidant and catalyst is carried out to identify the best-performing system. Under selected experimental conditions, UV/peroxymonosulfate (PMS), O3/PMS, UV/MnO2, O3/MnO2, UV/O3/H2O2, O3/MnO2/H2O2, UV/MnO2/H2O2, and UV/O3/MnO2 has been identified as an efficient treatment option for simultaneous decontamination (>90% COD removal) and disinfection (100% inactivation of the total viable count of bacteria). The techno-economic assessment revealed that UV/MnO2 (23.5 $ kg-1 of COD) UV/O3/MnO2 (37.4 $ kg-1 of COD), UV/H2O2/MnO2 (36.4 $ kg-1 of COD), and O3/MnO2/H2O2 (32.5 $ kg-1 of COD) are comparatively low-cost treatment processes. Overall, UV/MnO2, UV/H2O2/MnO2, and O3/MnO2/H2O2 are the three best treatments. Nevertheless, further investigation on by-product and catalyst toxicity/recovery is needed. The results showed that AOPs are a technologically feasible treatment for simultaneously removing persistent organic pollutants and pathogens from secondary treated wastewater.

Abstract
Due to its highly developed pore structure and large specific surface area, activated carbon is often used as a catalyst or catalyst carrier in catalytic ozonation. Although the pore structure of activated carbon plays a significant role in the treatment of wastewater and the mass transfer of ozone molecules, the effect is complicated and unclear. Because different application scenarios require catalysts with different pore structures, catalysts with appropriate pore structure characteristics should be developed. In this review, we systematically summarized the current adjustment methods for the pore structure of activated carbon, including raw material, carbonization, activation, modification, and loading. Then, based on the brief introduction of the application of activated carbon in catalytic ozonation, the effects of pore structure on catalytic ozonation and mass transfer are reviewed. Furthermore, we proposed that the effect of pore structure is mainly to provide catalytic active sites, promote free radical generation, and reduce mass transfer resistance. Therefore, large external surface area and reasonable pore size distribution are conducive to catalytic ozonation and mass transfer.

Abstract
Demands to develop efficient microwave-absorbing materials are increasing with the advancement of information technology and the exponential rise in the usage of electromagnetic devices. To reduce electromagnetic interference and to overcome the adverse effects caused by microwave exposure resulting from the excessive usage of electromagnetic devices, microwave absorbers are very necessary. In addition, radar-absorbing materials are essential for stealth technology in military applications. Herein, we report a nanocomposite in which CoFe2O4 (CF) nanoparticles were grown within the porous structure of Al2O3 (PA), and this CoFe2O4-loaded Al2O3 (PA-CF) nanocomposite was immobilized on the surface of nanometer-thin graphene sheets (Gr). Owing to the hierarchical structure created by the constituents, the (60PA-40CF)90-Gr10 nanocomposite exhibited excellent microwave-absorption properties in the X-band region with a reflection loss (RL) value of ∼-30.68 dB (∼99.9% absorption) at 10.71 and 9.04 GHz when thicknesses were 2.0 and 2.3 mm, respectively. This nanocomposite demonstrated its competence as a lightweight, high-performance microwave absorber in the X-band region, which can be utilized in the applications of pioneering stealth technology.

Abstract
Catalytic ozonation is a promising technology for pollutant abatement in water and wastewater treatment. However, there are many controversies and contradictions regarding the mechanisms of catalytic ozonation in literature, which has seriously confounded the development of the technology towards industrial applications. Herein, a critical review of literature is conducted to reveal possible underlying causes of the controversies and contradictions, and several common pitfalls in the experimental design and data interpretation are identified, e.g., the fundamentally flawed quenching method popularly used for evaluating the role of reactive oxygen species for pollutant abatement in catalytic ozonation and the neglect of monitoring ozone transfer doses in lab-scale experiments. Based on the identified pitfalls, several measures are suggested to improve the experimental design and data interpretation of catalytic ozonation studies. In addition, recent advances in mechanistic understanding of catalytic ozonation by principle-based modelling approaches are described. Finally, additional works that are needed to shrink the gap between academic research and practical applications and the prospect of catalytic ozonation in future water and wastewater treatment systems are analyzed.

Abstract
Reports that the exploitation of metal-free carbon materials to enhance permanganate (PM) oxidation to abate organic pollution in water have emerged in recent publications. However, the activation mechanism and active sites involved are ambiguous because of the intricate physicochemical properties of carbon. In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as a typical carbon material exhibits excellent capability to boost permanganate oxidation for removing a wide array of organic contaminants. The simultaneous two reaction pathways in the rGO/PM system were justified: i) rGO donates to electrons to decompose PM and produce highly reactive intermediate Mn species for oxidizing organic contaminants; ii) rGO mediates electron transfer from organics to PM. Oxygen-containing groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl, and carbonyl) were justified as electron-donating groups, while structural defects (vacancy and edge defects) were shown to be critical for rGO-mediated electron transfer. Therefore, the oxidation pathway of the rGO/PM system can be controlled by regulating oxygen functional groups and structural defects. The changeover from electron donor to electron mediator by decorating surface active sites of carbon materials will be of great help to the design and application of carbocatalysts.

[PMID: 35065120 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.153151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2021] [Revised: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox cycle is the main factor limiting the effectiveness of Fe-mediated advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the degradation of organic pollutants. In this study, the promoting effects of thin-layer Al2O3 (t-Al2O3) between the frequently used FeCu components and the mesoporous silica support were studied to reduce Fe(III) to promote the activity of the Fenton-like catalyst. After modification by t-Al2O3, the mesoporous silicon-loaded FeCu catalyst removed 97% of Rhodamine B at pH 7, which was superior to the unmodified sample with a removal rate of 62.4% under the same conditions. Morphological characterization and X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that the Fe-Cu/t-Al2O3 active components were highly dispersed. Pyridine infrared spectra suggested that all of the acid sites were Lewis acids, and the t-Al2O3-loaded samples provided moderate/strong Lewis acids. The loading of t-Al2O3 between the FeCu complex and mesoporous silica support facilitated electron transfer during the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox cycle by enhancing the dispersion of Fe-Cu/t-Al2O3 and the Lewis acidity. The results of this study provide insight into how t-Al2O3 promoted the interactions between the active components and silica support and how it can be used to aid in the selection of suitable wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract
Sulfidation can greatly improve the efficiency of utilization of reducing equivalents for contaminant removal; however, whether this method benefits Fenton-like reactions or not and the possible mechanism are not well understood. In this study, we revealed that surface sulfidation can greatly promote the heterogeneous Fenton activity of β-FeOOH (Fe3S4@β-FeOOH) by 40 times, in which not only the •OH formation was enhanced but also SO4•- as a new oxidation species was generated. Moreover, their contribution to metronidazole (MTZ) degradation was 52.5 and 37.1%, respectively. In comparison, almost no HO2•/O2•- was detected in the Fe3S4@β-FeOOH/H2O2 system. These results were different from some previously reported Fenton counterparts. Based on the characterization and probe experiments, sulfur species, including S2-, S0, and Sn2-, as an electron donor and electron shuttle were responsible for efficient conversion of Fe(III) into Fe(II) other than via the Haber-Weiss mechanism, leading to excellent •OH generation via a Fenton-like mechanism. Most importantly, HSO5- can be generated from SO32- oxidized by •OH, and its scission into SO4•- was not dependent on the extra electric potential or Fe-O2-S(IV) intermediate. These findings provided new insight for utilizing sulfidation to improve the activity of iron-based Fenton catalysts.

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.

Enhancing catalytic ozonation activity of MCM-41 via one-step incorporating fluorine and iron: The interfacial reaction induced by hydrophobic sites and Lewis acid sites. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 292:133544.

Abstract
Fe-MCM-41 had been widely used as ozonation catalyst, however, the existence of large amount of hydrophilic silanol hindered its interfacial reaction with O3 and pollutants. To solve this problem, F-Fe-MCM-41 was synthesized by co-doping F and Fe into the framework of MCM-41 to replace silanol with Si-F groups through a one-step hydrothermal method. F introduced hydrophobic sites which contributed to more ibuprofen (IBP) chemisorption on the surface of F-Fe-MCM-41. Moreover, doping F also enhanced the acidity, which accelerated O3 decomposition into •OH. F-Fe-MCM-41/O3 exhibited notably activity with 96.6% IBP removal efficiency within 120 min, while only 78.5% and 80.9% in O3 alone and Fe-MCM-41/O3, respectively. Surface Lewis acid sites and metal hydroxyl groups were considered as important factors for O3 activation and •OH generation. F-Fe-MCM-41 exhibited excellent catalytic performance under acidic and alkaline conditions. Comparative experiments revealed that F doping improved the interfacial reaction, especially the interfacial electron transfer, which resulted in the high catalytic activity of F-Fe-MCM-41. F-Fe-MCM-41 possessed good stability and reusability, with only 5.7% decline for IBP removal in five successive cycles. Furthermore, the possible degradation path of IBP was proposed according to DFT calculation and GC-MS analysis.

Abstract
Ozone has been successfully employed in water treatment due to its ability to oxidize a wide variety of refractory compounds. In order to increase the process efficiency and optimize its economy, the implementation of heterogeneous catalysts has been encouraged. In this context, the use of cheap and widely available natural materials is a promising option that would promote the utilization of ozone in a cost-effective water treatment process. This review describes the use of natural clays, zeolites and oxides as supports or active catalysts in the ozonation process, with emphasis on the structural characteristics and modifications performed in the raw natural materials; the catalytic oxidation mechanism; effect of the operating parameters and degradation efficiency outcomes. According to the information compiled, more research in realistic scenarios is needed (i.e., real wastewater matrix or continuous operation in pilot scale) in order to transfer this technology to the treatment of real wastewater streams.
