[PMID: 38494005 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141684] [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: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
The presented research concerns the use of nickel cobaltite nanoparticles (NiCo2O4 NPs) for the heterogeneous activation of peracetic acid and application of NiCo2O4-PAA system for degradation 10 organic micropollutants from the group of bisphenols. The bisphenols removal (initial concentration 1 μM) process was optimized by selecting the appropriate process conditions. The optimal amount of catalyst (115 mg/L), peracetic acid (PAA) concentration (7 mM) and pH (7) were determined using response surface analysis in the Design of Experiment. Then, NiCo2O4 NPs were used to check the possibility of reuse in subsequent oxidation cycles. The work also attempts to explain the mechanism of oxidation of the studied micropollutants. The participation of the sorption process on the catalyst was excluded and based on the experiments with radical scavengers it can be concluded that the oxidation proceeds in a radical pathway, mainly with participation of O2•- radicals. Experiments conducted in real water matrices exhibit low impact on degradation efficiency. Toxicity tests with green alga Acutodesmus obliquus and aquatic plant Lemna minor showed that post-reaction mixture influenced growth and the content of photosynthetic pigments in concentration dependent manner.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:2830. [PMID: 37947676 PMCID: PMC10647831 DOI: 10.3390/nano13212830] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
The fast rise of organic pollution has posed severe health risks to human beings and toxic issues to ecosystems. Proper disposal toward these organic contaminants is significant to maintain a green and sustainable development. Among various techniques for environmental remediation, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can non-selectively oxidize and mineralize organic contaminants into CO2, H2O, and inorganic salts using free radicals that are generated from the activation of oxidants, such as persulfate, H2O2, O2, peracetic acid, periodate, percarbonate, etc., while the activation of oxidants using catalysts via Fenton-type reactions is crucial for the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), i.e., •OH, •SO4-, •O2-, •O3CCH3, •O2CCH3, •IO3, •CO3-, and 1O2. Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI), with a core of Fe0 that performs a sustained activation effect in AOPs by gradually releasing ferrous ions, has been demonstrated as a cost-effective, high reactivity, easy recovery, easy recycling, and environmentally friendly heterogeneous catalyst of AOPs. The combination of nZVI and AOPs, providing an appropriate way for the complete degradation of organic pollutants via indiscriminate oxidation of ROS, is emerging as an important technique for environmental remediation and has received considerable attention in the last decade. The following review comprises a short survey of the most recent reports in the applications of nZVI participating AOPs, their mechanisms, and future prospects. It contains six sections, an introduction into the theme, applications of persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, oxygen, and other oxidants-based AOPs catalyzed with nZVI, and conclusions about the reported research with perspectives for future developments. Elucidation of the applications and mechanisms of nZVI-based AOPs with various oxidants may not only pave the way to more affordable AOP protocols, but may also promote exploration and fabrication of more effective and sustainable nZVI materials applicable in practical applications.

Abstract
Many studies have successfully built iron-mediated materials to activate or catalyze Fenton-like reactions, with applications in water and wastewater treatment being investigated. However, the developed materials are rarely compared with each other regarding their performance of organic contaminant removal. In this review, the recent advances of Fenton-like processes in homogeneous and heterogeneous ways are summarized, especially the performance and mechanism of activators including ferrous iron, zero valent iron, iron oxides, iron-loaded carbon, zeolite, and metal organic framework materials. Also, this work mainly compares three O-O bond containing oxidants including hydrogen dioxide, persulfate, and percarbonate, which are environmental-friendly oxidants and feasible for in-situ chemical oxidation. The influence of reaction conditions, catalyst properties and benefits are analyzed and compared. In addition, the challenges and strategies of these oxidants in applications and the major mechanisms of the oxidation process have been discussed. This work can help understand the mechanistic insights of variable Fenton-like reactions, the role of emerging iron-based materials, and provide guidance for choosing appropriate technologies when facing real-world water and wastewater applications.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 300:134485. [PMID: 35385767 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
A 3D hierarchical RP/BP/BiOCOOH double heterostructures with abundant oxygen vacancies (OVs) was obtained by hydrothermal process and its photocatalytic activity was investigated by degradation of TC-HCl with different light sources and various natural water. The physicochemical characteristics of RP/BP/BiOCOOH heterojunctions were systematically characterized via TEM, XPS, EPR, EIS et al. Compared with BiOCOOH, the photocatalytic activity of RP/BP/BiOCOOH was obviously enhanced. Under simulated solar light irradiation, 60.5% of TC-HCl was removed by 3%RP/BP/BiOCOOH. And the rate constant of 3%RP/BP/BiOCOOH was 2.95 times than that of BiOCOOH. Traces of small molecular organics were beneficial to improve photocatalytic efficiency. The process of photocatalytic degradation and the cytotoxicity of intermedia products of TC-HCl were discussed via HPLC-MS, 3D-EEM, and antibacterial properties test. Based on the results of trapping experiments and ESR tests, •OH and •O2- were the most significant reactive oxygen species. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was ascribed to two reasons: 1 double heterojunctions structure enhanced the separation efficiency of carriers, 2 the introduction of OVs and BP/RP expanded the response range of light. This work provides a feasible strategy that non-metallic element semiconductor is used to modify the wide band gap semiconductor to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Chlorinated organic solvents (COSs) are a significant threat to human beings. In this study, nanoscale bimetallic Ni/Fe particles were synthesized from the reaction of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) with the reduction of Ni2+ and Fe2+ in an aqueous solution. The synthesized nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) and Ni-nZVI were characterized by SEM (scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffractometer), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The removal performance of trichloroethylene (TCE) over the nZVI catalyst and Ni-nZVI was evaluated. Ni-nZVI with different Ni contents exhibited good reactivity towards the dechlorination of TCE over a 1h period, and the pseudo-first-order rate constant for TCE dechlorination by Ni-nZVI was 1.4–3.5 times higher than that of nZVI. Ni-nZVI with 5 wt% Ni contents exhibited the best dechlorination effect; the removal rates of TCE and its by-product dichloroethylene (DCE) were 100% and 63.69%, respectively. These results indicated that the Ni nanoparticles as the second dopant metal were better than nZVI for TCE degradation. This determination of the optimal Ni-NZVI load ratio provides a factual and theoretical basis for the subsequent application of nano-metal binding in the environment.

Insights into the mechanism of enhanced peroxymonosulfate degraded tetracycline using metal organic framework derived carbonyl modified carbon-coated Fe 0. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127640.

Abstract
Tetracycline (TC) is a commonly used antibiotic that has gained wide spread notoriety owing to its high environmental risks. In this study, rich carbonyl-modified carbon-coated Fe0 was obtained by pyrolysis of MIL-100(Fe) in an Ar atmosphere, and used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of tetracycline in water. The roles of Fe0, carbon and surface carbonyl on PMS activation were investigated. Fe0 continuously activated PMS, acted as a sustained-release source of Fe2+, and could effectively activate PMS to produce SO4•-, O2•- and •OH. Carbon was found to do responsible for electron transportation during the activation of PMS and slow down the oxidation of Fe0. The carbonyl group on the carbon surface layer was the active site of 1O2, which explains the enhanced performance for TC degradation. When Ca = 0.1 g/L and C0 = 0.4 mM, TC degradation rate reached 96%, which was attributed to the synergistic effect of radicals (i.e., SO4•-, O2•-, •OH) and non-radical (i.e., 1O2). Finally, the degradation pathway was proposed by combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), toxicities of the intermediate products were also evaluated. All results show that carbonyl-modified carbon-coated Fe0 possesses promising capacity for the removal of antibiotics from water.

Abstract
Fe-based catalysts as low-cost, high-efficiency, and non-toxic materials display superior catalytic performances in activating hydrogen peroxide, persulfate (PS), peracetic acid (PAA), percarbonate (PC), and ozone to degrade organic contaminants in aqueous solutions. They mainly include ferrous salts, zero-valent iron, iron-metal composites, iron sulfides, iron oxyhydroxides, iron oxides, and supported iron-based catalysts, which have been widely applied in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). However, there is lack of a comprehensive review systematically reporting their synthesis, characterization, and applications. It is imperative to evaluate the catalytic performances of various Fe-based catalysts in diverse AOPs systems and reveal the activation mechanisms of different oxidants by Fe-based catalysts. This work detailedly summarizes the synthesis methods and characterization technologies of Fe-based catalysts. This paper critically evaluates the catalytic performances of Fe-based catalysts in diverse AOPs systems. The effects of solution pH, reaction temperature, coexisting ions, oxidant concentration, catalyst dosage, and external energy on the degradation of organic contaminants in the Fe-based catalyst/oxidant systems and the stability of Fe-based catalysts are also discussed. The activation mechanisms of various oxidants and the degradation pathways of organic contaminants in the Fe-based catalyst/oxidant systems are revealed by a series of novel detection methods and characterization technologies. Future research prospects on the potential preparation means of Fe-based catalysts, practical applications, assistive technologies, and impact in AOPs are proposed.
