Li M, Zhang X, Zhang Y, Xu X, Liu Y, Zhang Y, He Z, Wang J, Liang Y. Effect of interaction between dissolved organic matter and iron/manganese (hydrogen) oxides on the degradation of organic pollutants by in-situ advanced oxidation techniques. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 918:170351. [PMID: 38307288 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
Iron and manganese (hydrogen) oxides (IMHOs) exhibit excellent redox capabilities for environmental pollutants and are commonly used in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technologies for the degradation of organic pollutants. However, the coexisting dissolved organic matter (DOMs) in surface environments would influence the degradation behavior and fate of organic pollutants in IMHOs-based ISCO. This review has summarized the interactions and mechanisms between DOMs and IMHOs, as well as the properties of DOM-IMHOs complexes. Importantly, the promotion or inhibition impact of DOM was discussed from three perspectives. First, the presence of DOMs may hinder the accessibility of active sites on IMHOs, thus reducing their efficiency in degrading organic pollutants. The formation of compounds between DOMs and IMHOs alters their stability and activity in the degradation process. Second, the presence of DOMs may also affect the generation and transport of active species, thereby influencing the oxidative degradation process of organic pollutants. Third, specific components within DOMs also participate and affect the degradation pathways and rates. A comprehensive understanding of the interaction between DOMs and IMHOs helps to better understand and predict the degradation process of organic pollutants mediated by IMHOs in real environmental conditions and contributes to the further development and application of IMHO-mediated ISCO technology.

Santos AD, Pinho E, Reis P, Martins RC, Gmurek M, Nogueira A, Castro-Silva S, Castro LM, Quinta-Ferreira RM. Heterogeneous photosensitization for water reuse in cellars: evaluation of silica, spongin, and chitosan as carrier material. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2023:10.1007/s11356-023-31178-0. [PMID: 38135794 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-31178-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
Photosensitization, a powerful oxidation reaction, offers significant potential for wastewater treatment in the context of industrial process water reuse. This environmentally friendly process can be crucial in reducing water consumption and industrial pollution. The ultimate goal is to complete process water reuse, creating a closed-loop system that preserves the inherent value of water resources. The photosensitized oxidation reaction hinges on three essential components: the photosensitizer, visible light, and oxygen. In this study, we assess the performance of three distinct materials-silica, chitosan, and spongin-as carrier materials for incorporating the phthalocyanine photosensitizer (ZnPcS4) in the heterogenous photosensitization process. Among the three materials under study, chitosan emerged as the standout performer in reactor hydrodynamic performance. In the photooxidation process, the photosensitizer ZnPcS4 exhibited notable efficacy, resulting in a significant reduction of approximately 20 to 30% in the remaining COD concentration of the cellar wastewater. Chitosan demonstrated exceptional hydrodynamic characteristics and displayed a favorable response to pH adjustments within the range of 8 to 10, outperforming the other two carrier materials. To further enhance the efficiency of continuous operation, exploring methods for mitigating photosensitizer bleaching within the reaction medium and investigating the impact of different pH values on the process optimization would be prudent.

Sanei E, Marquez I. DOM optical parameters as a tool to understand degradation of phenolic contaminants of emerging concern. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 340:139750.

Abstract
Composition and source of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in water influence the rate of production of reactive intermediates (RIs), affecting the photodegradation of phenolic contaminants of emerging concern (PhCECs). However, this relationship has not been fully quantified. Here, for the first time, we propose a mechanism for photodegradation of a surrogate of PhCECs, p-cresol, in different DOM standard solutions under simulated sunlight irradiation. More importantly, the correlation of DOM optical parameters and p-cresol photodegradation kinetic parameters was determined by Pearson correlation. Results showed that indirect photodegradation was the only degradation pathway for p-cresol, mainly through reaction with excited triplet state of dissolved organic matter (3DOM*). Singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) hindered degradation of p-cresol by decreasing the steady state concentration of 3DOM*. Moreover, less aromatic and smaller molecular size DOM showed higher steady-state concentration and quantum yield of 1O2, and 3DOM*, resulting in faster p-cresol photodegradation. Finally, 7 out of 8 optical parameters showed strong correlation with the p-cresol photodegradation rate constant. The mechanism and correlations found are a potential tool to predict PhCECs photodegradation in water using DOM optical parameters.

Abstract
Developing new photocatalysts to achieve efficient removal of phthalate esters (PAEs) in water is an important research task in environmental science. However, existing modification strategies for photocatalysts often focus on enhancing the efficiency of material photogenerated charge separation, neglecting the degradation characteristics of PAEs. In this work, we proposed an effective strategy for the photodegradation process of PAEs: introducing vacancy pair defects. We developed a BiOBr photocatalyst containing "Bi-Br" vacancy pairs, and confirmed that it has an excellent photocatalytic activity in removing phthalate esters (PAEs). Through a combination of experimental and theoretical calculations, it is proved that "Bi-Br" vacancy pairs can not only improve the charge separation efficiency, but also alter the adsorption configuration of O2, thus accelerating the formation and transformation of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, "Bi-Br" vacancy pairs can effectively improve the adsorption and activation of PAEs on the surface of samples, surpassing the effect of O vacancies. This work enriches the design concept of constructing highly active photocatalysts based on defect engineering, and provides a new idea for the treatment of PAEs in water.

Abstract
Predicting the formation of photochemically produced reactive intermediates (PPRI) during the irradiation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) has remained challenging given the complex nature of this material and differences in PPRI formation mechanisms. We investigate the role of DOM composition in photoreactivity using 48 samples that span the range of DOM in freshwater systems and wastewater. We relate quantum yields for excited triplet-state organic matter (fTMP), singlet oxygen (Φ1O2), and hydroxylating species (Φ•OH) to DOM composition determined using spectroscopy, Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, and electron-donating capacity (EDC). fTMP and Φ1O2 follow similar trends and are correlated with bulk properties derived from UV-vis spectra and EDC. In contrast, no individual bulk property can be used to predict Φ•OH. At the molecular level, the subset of DOM that is positively correlated to both Φ•OH and EDC is distinct from DOM formulas related to Φ1O2, demonstrating that •OH and 1O2 are formed from different DOM fractions. Multiple linear regressions are used to relate quantum yields of each PPRI to DOM composition parameters derived from multiple techniques, demonstrating that complementary methods are ideal for characterizing DOM because each technique only samples a subset of DOM.
