J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 142:204-214. [PMID: 38527885 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Naturally occurring hematite has been widely studied in the Fenton-like system for water pollutant remediation due to its abundance and non-toxicity. However, its inadequate catalytic activity results in difficulty in effectively degrading pollutants in the catalytic degradation system that it constitutes. Thus, we constructed a photochemical system composed of hematite with {001} facet of high activity facet and low-cost and non-toxic oxalic acid (OA) for the removal of various types of pollutants. The removal rate for the degradation of metronidazole, tetracycline hydrochloride, Rhodamine B, and hexavalent chromium by hematite nanoplate with the exposed {001} facet activating OA under visible light irradiation was 4.75, 2.25, 2.33, and 2.74 times than that by the exposed {110} facet, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation proved that the OA molecule was more easily adsorbed on the {001} facet of hematite than that on the {110} facet, which would favor the formation of the more Fe(III)-OA complex and reactive species. In addition, the reactive site of metronidazole for the attraction of radicals was identified on the basis of the DFT calculation on the molecular occupied orbitals, and the possible degradation pathway for metronidazole included carbon chain fracture, hydroxyethyl-cleavage, denitrogenation, and hydroxylation. Thus, this finding may offer a valuable direction in designing an efficient iron-based catalyst based on facet engineering for the improved activity of Fenton-like systems such as OA activation.

[PMID: 36507056 PMCID: PMC9732127 DOI: 10.1016/j.ese.2022.100225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Chlorite (ClO2 -) is the by-product of the water treatment process carried out using chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as an effective disinfectant and oxidant; however, the reactivation of ClO2 - has commonly been overlooked. Herein, it was unprecedentedly found that ClO2 - could be activated by iron species (Feb: Fe0, FeII, or FeIII), which contributed to the synchronous removal of ClO2 - and selective oxidative treatment of organic contaminants. However, the above-mentioned activation process presented intensive H+-dependent reactivity. The introduction of Feb significantly shortened the autocatalysis process via the accumulation of Cl- or ClO- during the protonation of ClO2 - driven by ultrasonic field. Furthermore, it was found that the interdependent high-valent-Fe-oxo and ClO2, after identification, were the dominant active species for accelerating the oxidation process. Accordingly, the unified mechanisms based on coordination catalysis ([Fe N (H2O) a (ClO x m-) b ] n +-P) were putative, and this process was thus used to account for the pollutant removal by the Feb-activated protonated ClO2 -. This study pioneers the activation of ClO2 - for water treatment and provides a novel strategy for "waste treating waste". Derivatively, this activation process further provides the preparation methods for sulfones and ClO2, including the oriented oxidation of sulfoxides to sulfones and the production of ClO2 for on-site use.

Abstract
The redox cycle of iron is a well-known rate-determining step for hydroxyl radical generation in photo-Fenton system. In this study, oxalate was employed as regulator to enhance the degradation of Orange II in Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (NPs)-catalyzed heterogeneous UV-Fenton system. Results showed that the oxalate could interact with the surface ≡FeIII species of catalyst, which weakened the bond of ≡FeIII-O and promoted the leaching of iron ions. Then the redox cycle of iron and generation of HO· would be accelerated via the homogeneous UV-Fenton reaction. The degradation rate constant of Orange II reached 0.220 min-1 when additional oxalate concentration was 0.4 mM, which was 2.5 times as high as that without oxalate in heterogeneous UV-Fenton system. In this case, the removal efficiencies of color and TOC were 99.3% and 92.0% after 30 and 120 min treatment, respectively. In addition, based on the results of XRD and XPS characterization, it could be deduced that the crystal structure and elemental configuration of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles could be maintained after reaction. Besides, the results of FTIR and magnetization characterization indicated that the C2O42- on surface of catalyst could be degraded and the catalyst could be easily separated from aqueous by applying an external magnetic field. The Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles showed high catalytic stability and reusability under the regulation of oxalate due to the fact that the leached iron ions could be re-adsorbed on the catalyst after treatment.

Abstract
An innovative method is created for transforming iron-rich RO phase (MgO0.239FeO0.761) on steel slag surface into nanostructured Mg0.04Fe2.96O4 layer. The phase change process is investigated, and it is found that salicylic acid modification and alkaline roasting procedures remarkably increase the specific surface area from 0.46 m2/g (raw steel slag) to 69.5 m2/g (Mg0.04Fe2.96O4), and the generation of Mg0.04Fe2.96O4 enhances the absorption of visible light and Cr(VI) conversion with 2-times increasement than raw steel slag. Surface complexation between H2C2O4 ligands and Fe metal moiety on Mg0.04Fe2.96O4 induces the intramolecular electron transfer under visible light irradiation based on a ligand-to-metal charge transfer mechanism, thus resulting in Cr(VI) photoreduction, and the catalytic efficiency is above 90% for Cr(VI) (40 mg/L) under inherent pH= 5.5 conditions. Moreover, recyclability tests based on magnetic separation show that the photoreactivity is closely related to Mg content of Mg0.04Fe2.96O4 layer where Mg leaching occurs and finally generates cubic spinel configuration Fe3O4. This work highlights the importance of surface functionalization in post-use phases of steel slag in which surface reactivity and application potential can be greatly altered by chemical exposure history and surface transformations. It also provides valuable references for studying the metastable state mechanism of magnesium ferrite photocatalysts.

Abstract
Facing low reactivity/selectivity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in electro-Fenton (EF), N, S atoms were introduced into carbon-based cathode. "End-on" O2 adsorption was achieved by adjusting electronic nature via N doping, while *OOH binding capability was tuned by spin density variation via S doping. Results showed the optimized N, S co-doped cathode presented a 42.47% improvement of H2O2 accumulation (7.95 ± 0.02 mg L-1 cm-2). According to density functional theory (DFT), N, S co-doped structure favored the "end-on" O2 adsorption as adsorption energy dropped to - 2.24 eV. Moreover, O-O/C-O bond lengths variation proved a possibility for *OOH desorption. The elaborated cathode was used in EF for sulfonamides (SAs) decay. A 100% removal rate of sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfathiazole (STZ) and sulfadimethoxine (SDM) was achieved within 60 min, among which SDZ tended to be degraded easily. Because the absolute hardness (η) of those pollutants is ranked as follows: ηSDM> ηSTZ> ηSDZ. Degradation pathways were proposed based on the detected byproducts, along with toxicity was evaluated by ecological structure-activity relationship (ECOSAR) program. Results showed that toxic intermediates generated were reduced or even disappeared. EF with N, S co-doped cathode provides a promising process for antibiotics wastewater treatment.

Abstract
A facile and cost effective acid leaching-coprecipitation method was developed to prepare spinel-type (Mg,Ni)(Fe,Al)2O4 from saprolite laterite ore in large scale. The as-prepared (Mg,Ni)(Fe,Al)2O4 exhibited excellent photo-Fenton-like catalytic activity in decomposing different kinds of organic dyes and antibiotic tetracycline in the present of oxalic acid (H2C2O4). The influential factors of RhB degradation efficiency were investigated, including the (Mg,Ni)(Fe,Al)2O4 dosage, H2C2O4 concentration and the intensity of simulated sunlight. Meanwhile, the reaction mechanism of (Mg,Ni)(Fe,Al)2O4/H2C2O4/simulated sunlight system was also proposed. As the formation of highly photochemical [≡Fe(C2O4)3]3- complex ions on the surface of the (Mg,Ni)(Fe,Al)2O4, the obtained (Mg,Ni)(Fe,Al)2O4 showed degradation efficiency (η) over 90.0 % for common organic dyes and antibiotic tetracycline within 180 min under the optimum conditions. The η and TOC removal for RhB were still over 98.0 % and 46.0 % after five reuse cycles, respectively. The excellent catalytic performance and recyclability make the (Mg,Ni)(Fe,Al)2O4 fabricated from natural saprolite laterite ore more competitive in dealing with wastewaters contaminated by organic pollutants.

Abstract
The fate of arsenic in the water environment is of great concern. Here, the influences of oxalic acid and UV light illumination on the dissolution of naked ferrihydrite (Fhy), Fhy loaded with As(V) [Fhy*-As(V)], as well as the fate of As(V) at pH 3.0 were studied. With the assistance of oxalic acid, complexes of Fe(III)-oxalic acid produced on Fhy/Fhy*-As(V) were reduced to Fe(II)-oxalic acid by photo-induced electrons under UV light irradiation. UV light has nearly no impact on the release of As(V) in the system of Fhy*-As(V) without the assistance of oxalic acid. Nevertheless, in the existence of oxalic acid, UV light illumination resulted in the contents of liberated As(V) decreased by 775-1300% compared to that without light. Considering the coexistence of As(V), oxalic acid as well as iron oxides in aquatic environments, the present study revealed that UV illumination could enhance the retention of As(V) on Fhy in the acidic water environment containing oxalic acid.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photochemical reactions associated with natural iron (hydr)oxides and oxalic acid have attracted a great deal of scientific attention in the application of organic pollutants degradation. However, the reaction mechanism is still unclear due to the complicated iron cycles and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In this study, the in situ attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was implemented to investigate the adsorption process and photochemical behavior of oxalic acid on the surface of ferrihydrite. A comprehensive reaction mechanism from the perspective of charge transfer process, including homogeneous-heterogeneous iron cycling and ROS generation, was illustrated in detail. We found that oxalic acid was first adsorbed on the surface of ferrihydrite with a mononuclear bidentate binding geometry. Interestingly, this mononuclear bidentate complex on the surface of ferrihydrite was stable under visible light irradiation. Subsequently, the whole complex departed from ferrihydrite surface through non-reduction dissolution with the form of Fe(C2O4)+. In the solution, the Fe(C2O4)+ complexes would quickly convert to Fe(C2O4)2- complexes. Under visible light irradiation, the electrons generated from the photolysis of Fe(C2O4)2- complex reacted with O2 to form O2•-/•OOH. Meanwhile, Fe(III) was reduced to Fe(II). Finally, the produced O2•-/•OOH could react with Fe(II) through a one-step way to generate •OH, which possessed higher •OH formation efficiency than that through the two-step way of H2O2 as the intermediates. This study helps us with understanding of in-situ photochemical reaction mechanism of ferrihydrite-oxalic acid system, and also provides guidance to effectively utilize widespread iron (hydr)oxides and organic acids in natural environment to develop engineered systems for water treatment.

Abstract
Nowadays, Nano-biotechnology is emerging to be one of the most promising tools in environmental remediation. In this study, the degradation efficiency of lignocellulose by white-rot fungi was improved by addition of Fe3O4 nanomaterials (NMs) in solid-state fermentation. The highly-ordered cellulose crystalline was demonstrated to be broken down through infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and crystallinity index analysis. The decay of fluorescence intensity presented a lower degree of aromatic polycondensation and less conjugated chromophores in lignocellulose. Mechanistic analysis showed that NMs participated in the Fenton reaction and affected lignocellulose biodegradation process by regulating enzyme secretion. Specifically, the time variation curves of hydroxyl radicals and Fe2+ were discussed to illustrate the degradation pattern. The NMs remained stable after the fermentation and were possible to be recycled for the next cycle. All the results support that the synergism of Fe3O4 NMs and white-rot fungi would be a promising research direction in lignocellulose treatment.

Abstract
The removal of pharmaceuticals present in wastewater is receiving more and more attention since most of them are refractory to traditional biological treatments. Many advanced oxidation processes have been reported in literature. However, cost estimations are not available for most of them. Recently, more environment friendly processes using solar radiation are gaining importance. The solar photo-Fenton process has been used with different reactor configurations and scales and seems to be the most promising technology for reducing operation costs. In addition, the use of ferrioxalate-aided systems allows the use of pHs close to neutrality, that reduces costs before disposal (not calculated here). The possible use of photovoltaic panels for an energy-free process makes it very interesting for an economic evaluation. Results for the homogeneous solar photo-Fenton process show that when pure compounds are present in water, mineralization is in the range 18-21% with an estimated operation cost of 0.739-0.85 €/m3. An increase in mineralization up to 60-80.6% requires either the use of ferrioxalate (slightly increasing costs to 1.1-1.56 €/m3) or the addition of very high concentration of H2O2, that rises costs substantially. The presence of pharmaceuticals in a Waste Water Treatment Plant effluent reduces mineralization (maximum of 20%) also increasing costs. On the other hand, published results confirm that heterogeneous photocatalysis with TiO2 (both suspended or immobilized) is still far to compete with homogeneous photo-Fenton process in operation costs. The development of new reactor systems and modified photo-catalysts are needed to compete as an efficient applicable technology in the near future.

Abstract
Oxalate enhanced mechanism of Fe3O4@γ-Fe2O3 was developed to provide novel insight into catalytic process regulation of iron oxide catalysts in heterogeneous UV-Fenton system. And the iron oxide composite of Fe3O4@γ-Fe2O3 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The results showed that large amount of iron could be leached from catalyst in the presence of oxalate, which promoted the homogeneous UV-Fenton reactions in solution. Orange II degradation could be significantly enhanced with the increase of the ratio of homogeneous UV-Fenton process to heterogeneous UV-Fenton process. The optimum concentration of oxalate determined by experiment was 0.5 mM in oxalate enhanced heterogeneous UV-Fenton system. On this condition, the pseudo-first-order rate constant value of Orange II degradation was 0.314 min-1, which was 2.3 times as high as that in heterogeneous UV-Fenton system. The removal rates of color and TOC were 100% and 86.6% after 20 min and 120 min treatment, respectively. In addition, the iron ions in solution could be almost completely adsorbed back to the catalyst surface in later degradation stages of Orange II. During the recycle experiments, the results showed that the increase of pH in solution and the sorption of intermediates on the catalyst surface would hinder oxalate enhanced process and lead to a decrease of degradation rate of Orange II in oxalate enhanced heterogeneous UV-Fenton system.

Abstract
Cost-effective water cleaning approaches using improved treatment technologies, for instance based on catalytic processes with high activity catalysts, are urgently needed. The aim of our study was to synthesize efficient Fenton-like photo-catalysts for rapid degradation of persistent organic micropollutants in aqueous medium. Iron-based nanomaterials were chemically synthesized through simple procedures by immobilization of either iron(II) oxalate (FeO) or iron(III) citrate (FeC) on magnetite (M) nanoparticles stabilized with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Various investigation techniques were performed in order to characterize the freshly prepared catalysts. By applying advanced oxidation processes, the effect of catalyst dosage, hydrogen peroxide concentration and UV-A light exposure were examined for Bisphenol A (BPA) conversion, at laboratory scale, in mild conditions. The obtained results revealed that BPA degradation was rapidly enhanced in the presence of low-concentration H2O2, as well as under UV-A light, and is highly dependent on the surface characteristics of the catalyst. Complete photo-degradation of BPA was achieved over the M/PEG/FeO catalyst in less than 15 minutes. Based on the catalytic performance, a hierarchy of the tested catalysts was established: M/PEG/FeO > M/PEG/FeC > M/PEG. The results of cytotoxicity assay using MCF-7 cells indicated that the aqueous samples after treatment are less cytotoxic.

Abstract
The intensification of the solar photo-Fenton system with ferrioxalate photoactive complexes and ultrasound applied to the mineralization of 15mg/L carbamazepine aqueous solution (CBZ) was evaluated. The experiments were carried out in a solar compound parabolic collector (CPC) pilot plant reactor coupled to an ultrasonic processor. The dynamic behavior of hydroxyl radicals generated under the different studied reaction systems was discussed. The initial concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and ferrous/oxalic acid and pH were found to be the most significant variables (32.79%, 25.98% and 26.04%, respectively). Under the selected optimal conditions ([H2O2]0=150mg/L; [Fe2+]0=2.5mg/L/[(COOH)2]0=12.1mg/L; pH=5) CBZ was fully degraded after 5min and 80% of TOC was removed using a solar photo-Fenton system intensified with ferrioxalate (SPFF). However, no improvement in the mineralization using SPFF process combined with ultrasound was observed. More mild pH conditions could be used in the SPFF system if compared to the traditional photo-Fenton (pH 3) acidic systems. Finally, a possible reaction pathway for the mineralization of CBZ by the SPFF system was proposed and therein discussed.

Abstract
The presence of personal care product (PCP) residues in the aquatic environment is an emerging issue due to their uncontrolled release through graywater; for this reason, efforts are being made to develop methods to inactivate or eliminate this class of substances in the environment. In this work, homogeneous photocatalysis has been applied for the degradation of UV filter para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), which exists in several types of PCPs, in order to identify the optimum degradation conditions. The oxidation of PABA by photo-Fenton and oxalate-induced photo-Fenton (ferrioxalate) processes was investigated, and the effect of various operating variables has been assessed, i.e., Fe3+ (0.0035-0.014 g L-1), H2O2 (0.025-0.2 g L-1), T (280-323 K), and type of radiation (UV-A, visible). Furthermore, experiments under optimal conditions have been performed in order to evaluate the transformation pathways and phytotoxicity of the treated PABA solution.

Abstract
Photocatalytic decay profiles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) have been investigated on various synthesized iron oxides and on soil surfaces under a set of diverse conditions. Samples were analysed using the developed HPLC procedure. Results of the present study demonstrate fastest photodisintegration of B[a]P on goethite followed by haematite, magnetite, akaganeite and maghemite, respectively. The effect of soil pH, irradiation wavelength and iron oxide and oxalic acid dose on the degradation of B[a]P was evaluated. The studies revealed enhancement in photodegradation in the presence of oxalic acid due to the occurrence of fenton like reaction. The results showed faster B[a]P degradation under short wavelength UV radiation. Rate constants in acidic, neutral and alkaline soils under optimum dissipation conditions were 1.11×10(-2), 7.69×10(-3) and 9.97×10(-3) h(-1), respectively. The study indicates that iron oxides along with oxalic acid are effective photocatalyst for the remediation of benzo[a]pyrene contaminated soil surfaces. The degradation products of B[a]P in the soils of different pH in presence of goethite were identified and degradation pathways proposed. Peaks due to toxic metabolites such as diones, diols and epoxides disappear after 120 h in all the three soils.

Abstract
The performance of S2O8(2-)/UV-C and H2O2/UV-C treatments was investigated for the degradation and detoxification of Bisphenol A (BPA). The acute toxicity of BPA and its degradation products was examined with the Vibrio fischeri bioassay, whereas changes in estrogenic activity were followed with the Yeast Estrogen Screen (YES) assay. LC and LC-MS/MS analyses were conducted to determine degradation products evolving during photochemical treatment. In addition, BPA-spiked real freshwater samples were also subjected to S2O8(2-)/UV-C and H2O2/UV-C treatment to study the effect of a real water matrix on BPA removal and detoxification rates. BPA removal in pure water was very fast (⩽7 min) and complete via both H2O2/UV-C and S2O8(2-)/UV-C treatment, accompanied with rapid and significant mineralization rates ranging between 70% and 85%. V.fischeri bioassay results indicated that degradation products being more toxic than BPA were formed at the initial stages of H2O2/UV-C whereas a rapid and steady reduction in toxicity was observed during S2O8(2-)/UV-C treatment in pure water. UV-C treatment products exhibited a higher estrogenic activity than the original BPA solution while the estrogenicity of BPA was completely removed during H2O2/UV-C and S2O8(2-)/UV-C treatments parallel to its degradation. 3-methylbenzoic and 4-sulfobenzoic acids, as well as the ring opening products fumaric, succinic and oxalic acids could be identified as degradation products. BPA degradation required extended treatment periods (>20 min) and TOC removals were considerably retarded (by 40%) in the raw freshwater matrix most probably due to its natural organic matter content (TOC=5.1 mg L(-1)). H2O2/UV-C and S2O8(2-)/UV-C treatment in raw freshwater did not result in toxic degradation products.

Abstract
The mineralization of an aqueous solution of antipyrine (C11H12N2O), an emerging contaminant, using a solar photocatalytic oxidation process assisted with ferrioxalate was evaluated in a compound parabolic collector (CPC) pilot plant. Under the selected operating conditions ([H2O2] = 250 ppm, [Fe] = 14 ppm, pH = 2.7, and [(COOH)2·2H2O] = 80 ppm), 60% of TOC is removed just 5 min after treating an aqueous solution containing 50 ppm of antipyrine. The addition of oxalic acid up to a maximum concentration of 80 ppm significantly increases the mineralization rate during the first 15 min of the reaction. The synergism between the solar and dark H2O2/ferrioxalate process was quantified at 79%, calculated from the pseudo first-order mineralization rate constants. The operational costs due to the consumption of electrical energy, reagents and catalysts were calculated from the optimal conditions and compared with a novel sono-photocatalytic process using artificial UV-light. The results showed that the ferrioxalate-assisted solar photo-Fenton process was economically feasible, being able to achieve up to 60% mineralization with a total cost of 4.5 cent €/g TOC removed (1.1 €/m(3)).

Abstract
UV-A (near-UV), UV-C (short-UV) and visible-light assisted Fenton-like treatment of Bisphenol A (BPA) was investigated in pure water and raw freshwater samples spiked with BPA. Treatment performances were evaluated in terms of BPA degradation, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal and H2O2 consumption rates. Complete BPA degradation accompanied with significant DOC removal was achieved for all studied processes. Increasing the initial solution pH only exhibited a negative effect on treatment efficiencies when bicarbonate alkalinity was used for pH adjustment, whereas the raw freshwater matrix and irradiation type also influenced oxidation rates appreciably. Acute toxicity analysis employing Vibrio fischeri revealed that the inhibitory effect of BPA decreased significantly during the course of Photo-Fenton-like treatment. Several transformation products could be identified via HPLC and GC-MS analyses including hydroxylated phenolic compounds (hydroquinone; 2-methoxy, 1-4-benzenediol; 4-isopropenylphenol; 4'-hydroxy-acetophenone; 1-(4-cyclohexylphenyl) ethanone; 4-isopropylenecatechol; 4-4'-dihydroxybenzophenone; 4-ethyl,1,3-benzenediol), as well as the ring opening products hexanoic acid methyl ester, fumaric, succinic and oxalic acids. A reaction pathway featuring hydroxylation, dimerization and ring opening steps is proposed.

Abstract
This paper reviews the current knowledge on the occurrence, biodegradation, and photooxidation of nonylphenol (NP), octylphenol (OP), and bisphenol-A (BPA) in aquatic environment. Generally, the concentrations determined were 0.006-32.8, < 0.001-1.44, and 0.0005-4.0 mu g L(-1) for NP, OP, and BPA respectively in river waters worldwide. Anthropogenic activities that can lead to run-off and storm water discharge may contribute to such concentrations in rivers. Pathways for biodegradation of NP and BPA appear to be similar. The influence of ferric ions, oxalate, hydrogen peroxide, and dissolved organic matter (DOM) on the photooxidation of NP and BPA in natural water is presented. Several techniques including nanofiltration, adsorption, sonochemical, photocatalytic, chlorination, ozonation, and ferrate(VI) oxidation for removals of NP, OP, and BPA are also reviewed.
