Abstract
Arsenic (As) is a highly toxic heavy metal and has been widely concerned for its hazardous environmental impact. Aromatic organic arsenic (AOCs) has been frequently used as an animal supplement to enhance feed utilization and prevent dysentery. The majority of organic arsenic could be discharged from the body and evolve as highly toxic inorganic arsenic that is hazardous to the environment and human health via biological conversion, photodegradation, and photo-oxidation. Current environmental issues necessitate the development and application of multifunctional porous materials in environmental remediation. Compared to the conventional adsorbent, such as activated carbon and zeolite, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit a number of advantages, including simple synthesis, wide variety, simple modulation of pore size, large specific surface area, excellent chemical stability, and easy modification. In recent years, numerous scientists have investigated MOFs related materials involved with organic arsenic. These studies can be divided into three categories: detection of organic arsenic by MOFs, adsorption to remove organic arsenic by MOFs, and catalytic removal of organic arsenic by MOFs. Here, we conduct a critical analysis of current research findings and knowledge pertaining to the structural characteristics, application methods, removal properties, interaction mechanisms, and spectral analysis of MOFs. We summarized the application of MOFs in organic arsenic detection, adsorption, and catalytic degradation. Other arsenic removal technologies and conventional substances are also being investigated. This review will provide relevant scientific researchers with references.

[PMID: 37098286 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.119979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
The conventional oxidation-adsorption methods are effective for the removal of roxarsone (ROX) but are limited by complicated operation, toxic residual oxidant and leaching of toxic metal ions. Herein, we proposed a new approach to improve ROX removal, i.e., using the FeS/sulfite system. Experimental results showed that approximately 100% of ROX (20 mg/L) was removed and more than 90% of the released inorganic arsenic (As(V) dominated) was adsorbed on FeS within 40 min. This FeS/sulfite system was a non-homogeneous activation process, and SO4·-, ·OH and 1O2 were identified as reactive oxidizing species with their contributions to ROX degradation being 48.36%, 27.97% and 2.64%, respectively. Based on density functional theory calculations and HPLC-MS results, the degradation of ROX was achieved by C-As breaking, electrophilic addition, hydroxylation and denitrification. It was also found that the released inorganic arsenic was adsorbed through a combination of outer-sphere complexation and surface co-precipitation, and the generated arsenopyrite (FeAsS), a precursor to ecologically secure scorodite (FeAsO4·2H2O), was served as the foundation for further inorganic arsenic mineralization. This is the first attempt to use the FeS/sulfite system for organic heavy metal removal, which proposes a prospective technique for the removal of ROX.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) pose a great threat to water environment security. In this study, acyclovir (ACV) was efficiently degraded by thermally activated persulfate (TAP) system. The ACV degradation increased with rising reaction temperature and persulfate dosage. With the existence of inorganic anions and humic acid, ACV removal was retarded to varying degrees. Under strong alkaline condition, it was observed that the degradation of ACV was significantly inhibited. In addition, Kintecus software was employed to simulate ACV removal and achieved a good fit with the experimental results. The contribution rates of main reactive radicals under acidic, neutral, and alkaline conditions were investigated, and the contribution of hydroxyl radical (⋅OH) increased significantly under alkaline condition. The main active species were identified as sulfate radical (SO4⋅-) and ⋅OH through quenching experiment, and the second-order reaction rate constants of SO4⋅- and ∙OH reacted with ACV were calculated to be 9.17 × 109 M-1 s-1 and 2.74 × 109 M-1 s-1, respectively. The main degradation pathways included addition of free radicals, oxidation of branch chain and ring opening. The acute and chronic toxicity of intermediates to organisms predicted by ECOSAR were significantly reduced compared with that of ACV.

Abstract
Rational design and construction of the finest electrocatalytic materials are important for improving the performance of electrochemical sensors. Spinel bioxides based on cobalt manganate (CoMn2O4) are of particular importance for electrochemical sensors due to their excellent catalytic performance. In this study, three-dimensional CoMn2O4 with the petal-free, flowerlike structure is synthesized by facile hydrothermal and calcination methods for the electrochemical sensing of roxarsone (RXS). The effect of calcination temperature on the characteristics of CoMn2O4 was thoroughly studied by in-depth electron microscopic, spectroscopic, and analytical methods. Compared to previous reports, CoMn2O4-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes display superior performance for the RXS detection, including a wide linear range (0.01-0.84 μM; 0.84-1130 μM), a low limit of detection (0.002 μM), and a high sensitivity (33.13 μA μM-1 cm-2). The remarkable electrocatalytic performance can be attributed to its excellent physical properties, such as good conductivity, hybrid architectures, high specific surface area, and rapid electron transportation. More significantly, the proposed electrochemical sensor presents excellent selectivity, good stability, and high reproducibility. Besides, the detection of RXS in river water samples using the CoMn2O4-based electrochemical sensor shows satisfactory recovery values in the range of 98.00-99.80%. This work opens a new strategy to design an electrocatalyst with the hybrid architecture for high-performance electrochemical sensing.

Abstract
Organoarsenicals such as roxarsone (ROX) pose a great threat to the eco-environment and human health. Herein, the degradation of ROX via UV-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) including UV/hydrogen peroxide (UV/H2O2), UV/peroxydisulfate (UV/PDS), and UV/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) processes are comparatively investigated. The removal efficiency of ROX in the UV-based AOPs follows the order of UV/H2O2 >UV/PDS>UV/PMS at pH 7.0, while UV/PDS is the most effective process in reducing the total organic carbon (TOC). The second-order rate constants of ROX with hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and sulfate radicals (SO4•-) are determined to be (2.71 ± 0.27)× 109 and (7.68 ± 0.37)× 108 M-1s-1, respectively. The degradation of ROX obeys the pseudo-first-order kinetics model, and the apparent rate constants (k) linearly increase with increasing the oxidants dosage from 0.10 to 1.0 mM. The solution pH (5.0-11.0) exhibits a limited effect on the oxidation of ROX in UV/H2O2 and UV/PDS processes, but a great enhancement is observed at pH 11.0 in UV/PMS process. Humic acid and bicarbonate obviously suppress the photodegradation of ROX. In addition, arsenic in ROX is mainly converted to As(V) in the three UV-based AOPs. Overall, this study provides essential information for the degradation of ROX via the traditional UV-based AOPs.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 407:124559.

Abstract
Roxarsone (ROX), as one of aromatic organoarsenic compounds (AOCs), is extensively used in livestock industry, which tends to transform into high-toxic inorganic arsenic in environments. Herein, a bifunctional Co3O4-Y2O3, possessing extremely excellent catalytic and adsorption performance due to the synergy of Co3O4 and Y2O3, was designed and employed to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the elimination of ROX and the simultaneous in-situ adsorption of secondary inorganic arsenic, in which Co3O4 acted as the primary catalyst, and Y2O3 served as the main adsorbent. 50 μM (3.75 mg-As/L) of ROX was almost completely degraded, coupled with the conversion of As(III) to As(V) in the system of Co3O4-Y2O3 (0.2 g/L) and PMS (0.5 mM) within 15 min at initial pH 7. Meanwhile, > 99.3% of the secondary As(V) would be removed within 120 min. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) were identified to be •OH, SO4•-, and 1O2, which were responsible for the ROX degradation and the formation of As(V). Simultaneously, the produced As(V) were effectively adsorbed via the ligand/anion exchange with surface -OH and CO32- anions of Co3O4-Y2O3. The possible degradation pathways of ROX were further proposed on the basis of the intermediates identification. Our findings may provide an insight into the degradation of AOCs and the simultaneous removal of secondary inorganic arsenic via the PMS activation with Co3O4-Y2O3.

Abstract
Antibiotics are commonly used in livestock and poultry breeding along with organic arsenic. Through long-term accumulation, they can enter into the surrounding soil through various pathways and contaminate the soil. In this paper, tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) and roxarsone (ROX) contaminated soil were used as the representatives of the two kinds of veterinary drugs contaminated soil, respectively, to study the thermal desorption behavior and arsenic stabilization process. Different parameters like heating temperatures, heat duration, stabilizer type and dosage were optimized for effective removal of TCs and ROX. Furthermore, TCs and ROX removal path and ROX stabilization mechanism were explored. Results of the study showed that over 98% of tetracycline antibiotics and roxarsone were effectively removed at 300 °C for 60 min. The heat treatment process of TCs contaminated soil was controlled by the first-order kinetics. Based on the detection of degradation products and thermogravimetric analysis, the possible thermal degradation path of TCs and ROX was proposed. Addition of FeSO4.7H2O (10% by weight) as stabilizer during the heat treatment process yielded 96.7% stabilization rate. Through the analysis of arsenic fractions, valence and the characterization of soil samples collected after the heat treatment, mechanism of arsenic stabilization in ROX was explored. The results show that thermal treatment combined with chemical stabilization technology can not only degrade TCs and ROX efficiently and completely, but also convert organic arsenic into inorganic state, which is conducive to better stabilization, and finally achieve effective and safe remediation of this kind of contaminated soil.

Abstract
Sulfate radical (SO4-)-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) are promising in-situ chemical oxidation technologies widely applied for soil/groundwater remediation. The presence of non-target water constituents may interfere the abatement of contaminants by SR-AOPs as well as result in the formation of unintended byproducts. Herein, we reported the formation of toxic chloronitrophenols during thermally activated persulfate oxidation of 2-chlorophenol (2CP) in the presence of nitrite (NO2-). 2-Chloro-4-nitrophenol (2C4NP) and 2-chloro-6-nitrophenol (2C6NP) were identified as nitrated byproducts of 2CP with total yield up to 90%. The formation of nitrated byproducts is a result of coupling reaction between 2CP phenoxyl radical (ClPhO) and nitrogen dioxide radical (NO2). As a critical step, the formation of ClPhO was supported by density functional theory (DFT) computation. Both 2C4NP and 2C6NP could convert to 2-chloro-4,6-dinitrophenol (2C46DNP) upon further treatment via a denitration-renitration process. The formation rate of 2C4NP and 2C6NP was closely dependent on the concentration of NO2-, solution pH, and natural water constituents. ECOSAR calculation suggests that chloronitrophenols are generally more hydrophobic and ecotoxic than 2CP. Our result therefore reveals the potential risks in the abatement of chlorophenols by SR-AOP, particularly when high level of NO2- is present in water matrix.

Abstract
The transformation of roxarsone (ROX) during UV disinfection with Fe(III) has been investigated. Fe(OH)2+, as the main Fe(III) species at pH = 3, produces HO under UV irradiation leading to the oxidation of ROX. Dissolved oxygen plays a very important role in the continuous conversion of generated Fe2+ to Fe3+, which ensures a Fe(III)-Fe(II) cycle in the system. The presence of Cl-/HCO3-/NO3- has little influence on the ROX transformation, whereas PO43- achieves an obvious inhibitory effect. The transformation of ROX leads to the formation of inorganic arsenic consisting of a much higher amount of As(V) than As(III). LC-MS analysis shows that phenol, o-nitrophenol and arsenic acid were the main transformation products. Both the radical scavenger experiment and electron spin resonance data confirm that the HO is responsible for ROX transformation. The toxic transformation products are found to have potential environmental risks for the natural environment, organisms and human beings.

[PMID: 30179786 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2018.08.083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2018] [Revised: 08/07/2018] [Accepted: 08/24/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Sulfate radical (SO4-)-based oxidation of nitrophenols (NPs) have been widely studied; however, formation of potentially more toxic polynitroaromatic intermediates has been overlooked. In this contribution, we systematically investigated the degradation of four NPs by a SO4--based oxidation process. Degradation efficiency of NPs followed the order: 2-nitrophenol (2-NP) > 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) > 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) > 2,6-dinitrophenol (2,6-DNP). HPLC and LC-MS/MS analysis confirmed the formation of 2,4-DNP, 2,6-DNP and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (2,4,6-TNP) during NPs transformation by SO4-, suggesting that both denitration and renitration processes occurred. Nitrogen dioxide radicals (NO2) and phenoxy radicals are responsible for the formation of polynitrophenols. Coupling products including nitrated biphenyls and diphenyl ethers were also detected, which were proposed to be formed by combinations of resonance-stabilized radicals. Electron spin density and charge density calculation showed that ortho C-ortho C and ortho C-phenolic O were the most likely combination ways responsible for coupling products formation. ECOSAR program predicted that polynitrated diphenyl ethers and biphenyls had higher ecotoxicological effects on aquatic species such as fish and daphnia. Therefore, the formation of toxic polynitroaromatic intermediates in SO4--based advanced oxidation processes should be scrutinized before this technology can be safely utilized for water and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Roxarsone (ROX) is used in breeding industry to prevent infection by parasites, stimulate livestock growth and improve pigmentation of livestock meat. After being released into environment, ROX could be bio-degraded with the formation of carcinogenic inorganic arsenic (As) species. Here, ferrate oxidation of ROX was reported, in which we studied total-As removal, determined reaction kinetics, identified oxidation products, and proposed a reaction mechanism. It was found that the apparent second-order rate constant (kapp) of ferrate with ROX was 305 M-1s-1 at pH 7.0, 25 °C, and over 95% of total As was removed within 10 min when ferrate/ROX molar ratio was 20:1. Species-specific rate constants analysis showed that HFeO4- was the dominant species reacting with ROX. Ferrate initially attacked AsC bond of ROX and resulted in the formation of arsenate and 2-nitrohydroquinone. The arsenate was simultaneously removed by ferric nanoparticles formed in the reduction of ferrate, while 2-nitrohydroquinone was further oxidized into nitro-1,4-benzoquinone. These results suggest that ferrate treatment can be an effective method for the control of ROX in water treatment.

Abstract
Many researchers at home and abroad have made a body of researches and have gained great achievements on the environmental occurrence, fate, and toxicity of inorganic arsenic. But there is less research on the use of aromatic organoarsenic compounds (AOCs), which are common feed additives for livestock in the poultry industry. In this review, we outline the current state of knowledge acquired on the occurrence and remediation of AOCs, respectively. We also identify knowledge gaps and research needs, including the elucidation of the environmental fate of AOCs, metabolic pathway, the impact of metabolic modification on toxicity, and advanced analytical or repaired methods that allows for monitoring, identification or removal of the degradation products.

Abstract
Chloronitrophenols (CNPs) constitute a group of environmental pollutants that are widely distributed in our surrounding environment due to human based activities. This group of chemicals is highly toxic to living beings due to its mutagenic and carcinogenic nature. Examples include 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol, 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol, 2-chloro-5-nitrophenol, 4-chloro-3-nitrophenol and 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol. Several methods including advanced oxidation processes, adsorption and bacterial degradation have been used for degradation of CNPs. Among, bacterial degradation is an eco-friendly and effective way to degrade CNPs. Several bacterial metabolic pathways have been proposed for degradation of CNPs and their genes and enzymes have been identified in bacteria. These bacteria were able to degrade CNPs in broth culture and soil. Therefore, CNPs-degrading bacteria are suitable candidates for bioremediation of CNPs-contaminated sites. Few CNP-degrading bacteria exhibited chemotaxis towards CNPs to enhance their biodegradation. The present review summarizes recent progress in degradation of CNPs.

Abstract
The sonochemical transformation of para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS), a widely used antibiotic and an identified Emerging Pollutant (EP) under the class of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs), have been investigated in aqueous medium. Ultrasound having frequency of 350kHz and power of 80W was utilized for the degradation of PAS. A complete degradation (100%) of PAS after 60min and about 83% of COD removal after 120min of sonication, were obtained. Fourteen intermediate products were identified using LC-Q-TOF-MS. On a comparison with UV/H2O2 method, it is understood that four products out of fourteen were nitro derivatives which are formed only in the sonolysis, and the rest are from hydroxyl radicals. The involvement of nitrite which is formed from the sonolysis of solution containing PAS, in the formation of the other four nitro products has been established from the control studies. Nitrite ion partially scavenge hydroxyl radical in the course of the reaction to form nitrite radical which is the reactive species for the production of nitro compounds. It is, therefore, proposed that in addition to hydroxyl radical, contribution of in-situ generated nitrite also plays an important role in the sonochemical transformation of PAS.

The role of nitrite in sulfate radical-based degradation of phenolic compounds: An unexpected nitration process relevant to groundwater remediation by in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO). WATER RESEARCH 2017; 123:249-257. [PMID: 28672209 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2017.06.081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 79] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2017] [Revised: 06/24/2017] [Accepted: 06/27/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
As promising in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technologies, sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) are applied in wastewater treatment and groundwater remediation in recent years. In this contribution, we report for the first time that, thermally activated persulfate oxidation of phenol in the presence of nitrite (NO2-), an anion widely present in natural waters, could lead to the formation of nitrated by-products including 2-nitrophenol (2-NP), 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP), and 2,6-dinitrophenol (2,6-DNP). Nitrogen dioxide radical (NO2•), arising from SO4•- scavenging by NO2-, was proposed to be involved in the formation of nitrophenols as a nitrating agent. It was observed that nitrophenols accounted for approximately 70% of the phenol transformed under reaction conditions of [NO2-] = 200 μM, [PS] = 2 mM and temperature of 50 °C. Increasing the concentration of NO2- remarkably enhanced the formation of nitrophenols but did not affect the transformation rate of phenol significantly. The degradation of phenol and the formation of nitrophenols were significantly influenced by persulfate dosage, solution pH and natural organic matter (NOM). Further studies on the degradation of other phenolic compounds, including 4-chlorophenol (4-CP), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), and acetaminophen (ATP), verified the formation of their corresponding nitrated by-products as well. Therefore, formation of nitrated by-products is probably a common but overlooked phenomenon during SO4•--based oxidation of phenolic compounds in the presence of NO2-. Nitroaromatic compounds are well known for their carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and genotoxicity, and are potentially persistent in the environment. The formation of nitrated organic by-products in SR-AOPs should be carefully scrutinized, and risk assessment should be carried out to assess possible health and ecological impacts.
