[PMID: 38383932 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-32513-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
In this work, iron-bearing mining reject was employed as an alternative and potential low-cost catalyst to degrade phenol in water by photo-Fenton strategy. Various techniques, including SEM-EDS, BET, FTIR, and XRD, were applied to evaluate the material's properties. Process parameters such as hydrogen peroxide concentration, catalyst dosage, and pH were studied to determine the optimum reaction conditions ([catalyst] = 0.75 g L-1, [H2O2] = 7.5 mM, and pH = 3). Phenol degradation and mineralization efficiencies at 180 and 300 min were 96.5 and 78%, respectively. These satisfactory results can be associated with the iron amount present in the waste sample. Furthermore, the material showed high catalytic activity and negligible iron leaching even after the fourth reuse cycle. The degradation behavior of phenol in water was well represented by a kinetic model based on the Fermi function. The iron-bearing mining reject can be considered a potential photo-Fenton catalyst for phenol degradation in wastewater.

Abstract
Chemical cleaning is indispensable for the sustainable operation of nanofiltration (NF) in wastewater treatment. However, the common chemical cleaning methods are plagued by low cleaning efficiency, high chemical consumption, and separation performance deterioration. In this work, a chemoenzymatic cascade reaction is proposed for pollutant degradation and polyamide NF membrane cleaning. Glucose oxidase (GOD) enzymatic reaction in this cascade system produces hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and gluconic acid to trigger the oxidation of foulants by Fe3O4-catalyzed Fenton reaction. By virtue of the microenvironment (pH and H2O2 concentration) engineering and substrate enrichments, this chemoenzymatic cascade reaction (GOD-Fe3O4) exhibits a favorable degradation efficiency for bisphenol A and methyl blue (MB). Thanks to the strong oxidizing degradation, the water flux of the NF10 membrane fouled by MB is almost completely recovered (∼95.8%) after a 3-cycle fouling/cleaning experiment. Meanwhile, the chemoenzymatic cascade reaction improves the applicability of the Fenton reaction in polyamide NF membrane cleaning because it prevents the membrane from damaging by high concentration of H2O2 and inhibits the secondary fouling caused by ferric hydroxide precipitates. By immobilizing GOD on the aminated Fe3O4 nanoparticles, a reusable cleaning agent is prepared for highly efficient membrane cleaning. This chemoenzymatic cascade reaction without the addition of an acid/base/oxidant provides a promising candidate for sustainable and cost-effective cleaning for the polyamide NF membrane.

Abstract
Present and past anthropogenic pollution of the hydrosphere and lithosphere is a growing concern around the world for sustainable development and human health. Current industrial activity, abandoned contaminated plants and mining sites, and even everyday life is a pollution source for our environment. There is therefore a crucial need to clean industrial and municipal effluents and remediate contaminated soil and groundwater. Nanosized zero-valent iron (nZVI) is an emerging material in these fields due to its high reactivity and expected low impact on the environment due to iron's high abundance in the earth crust. Currently, there is an intensive research to test the effectiveness of nZVI in contaminant removal processes from water and soil and to modify properties of this material in order to fulfill specific application requirements. The number of laboratory tests, field applications, and investigations for the environmental impact are strongly increasing. The aim of the present review is to provide an overview of the current knowledge about the catalytic activity, reactivity and efficiency of nZVI in removing toxic organic and inorganic materials from water, wastewater, and soil and groundwater, as well as its toxic effect for microorganisms and plants.

Abstract
Copper nanoparticles-enzyme biohybrid is a promising material for the remediation of contaminated waters, but its function is influenced by its effect on degradation organic pollutants. This study is the first investigation into the fast degradation of a high amount of Bisphenol A (BPA) in water at neutral pH and room temperature. Four different CuNPs biohybrids with different cu species and nanoparticle sizes were used as catalysts. The biohybrid CuNPs@CALB-3, which contained Cu2O nanoparticles of around 10 nm size, showed excellent catalytic performance removing >95% BPA content (45 ppm) in an aqueous solution in 20 min in the presence of hydrogen peroxide at pH 8 using 1.5 g/L of a catalyst. The catalyst showed excellent stability and recyclability at these conditions.

Abstract
Zero valent iron (ZVI) and ZVI-based materials have been widely used for the reduction of nitrate, a major contaminant commonly detected in groundwater and surface water. The reduction of nitrate by ZVI is influenced by various factors, such as the physical and chemical characteristics of ZVI and the operational parameters. There are some problems for the nitrate reduction by ZVI alone, for example, the formation of iron oxides on the surface of ZVI at high pH condition, which will inhibit the further reduction of nitrate; in addition, the end reduction product is mainly ammonium, which itself needs to be concerned. Several strategies, such as the optimization of the structure of ZVI composites and the addition of reducing assistants, have been proposed to increase the reduction efficiency and the selectivity of end product of nitrate reduction in a wide range of pH, especially under neutral pH condition. This review will mainly focus on the high efficient reduction of nitrate by ZVI-based materials. Firstly, the reduction of nitrate by ZVI alone was briefly introduced and discussed, including the influence of physical and chemical characteristics of ZVI and some operational parameters on the reduction efficiency of nitrate. Then, the strategies for enhancing the reduction efficiency and the N2 selectivity of the reductive products of nitrate were systematically analyzed and evaluated, especially the optimization of the structure of ZVI composites (e.g., doped ZVI composite, supported ZVI composite and premagnetized ZVI), and the addition of reducing assistants (e.g., metal cations, ligand, hydrogen gas and light) were highlighted. Thirdly, the mechanisms and pathways of nitrate reduction were discussed. Finally, concluding remarks and some suggestions for the future research were proposed.

Abstract
The use of pillared interlayered clays (PILCs) as heterogenous catalysts in wastewater treatment technologies, particularly advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), is gaining popularity for the treatment of refractory wastewater effluents. The recent literature involving these solid materials is reviewed, with more focus on studies that aim at reducing the synthesis costs and escalating the synthesis process to industrial scale. Their role as active solid materials in the AOPs such as photocatalysis, catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO), the Fenton process and catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of refractory organic compounds in polluted aqueous streams is also reviewed. These processes are evaluated to evidence their main direction for future research, particularly with reference to possible industrial use of these technologies to treat refractory organic wastewater using pillared clay-based catalysts. The pillared clay catalysts demonstrate good application prospects for the removal of refractory wastewater effluents using AOP technology. The reviewed studies suggest that the photocatalytic process is useful in low concentrations of these compounds, while CWPO, the Fenton process and CWAO are recommended for higher concentrations. However, catalyst development to reduce the severity of oxidation reaction conditions, with focus on the low cost, catalyst stability, reusability and environmental friendliness are the key aspects to be addressed by future research work.

Abstract
A functional diatomite-supported Fe/Ni nanocomposite successfully remediated Orange II contaminant in aqueous solution. The hypothesis was that diatomite-supported Fe/Ni would not only be more effective than Fe/Ni but also require less metallic loading to effect the catalytic reaction. Batch experiments indicate that 99.00% of Orange II was removed using diatomite-supported Fe/Ni, while only 86.64 and 3.59% of Orange II were removed using bimetallic Fe/Ni nanoparticles and diatomite, after 6 h of reaction, respectively. Characterisation by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicates that the use of diatomite as a support material reduced the aggregation of bimetallic Fe/Ni nanoparticles, thereby resulting in an enhancement in the reactivity. A synergistic mechanism for the removal of Orange II by diatomite-supported Fe/Ni was proposed which involves adsorption, followed by catalytic reduction. This study has demonstrated that diatomite may be a suitable support material for stabilizing and dispersing bimetallic Fe/Ni nanoparticles and the resulting diatomite-supported Fe/Ni composite could be a promising catalyst for the remediation of dye-contaminated wastewater.
