Qi J, Wang X, Lin Z, Zhao J, Hu C, Qu J. Algae promotes the biogenic oxidation of Mn(II) by accelerated extracellular superoxide production. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 261:122063. [PMID: 39003876 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.122063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
Microbial manganese (Mn) oxidation, predominantly occurs within the anaerobic-aerobic interfaces, plays an important role in environmental pollution remediation. The anaerobic-aerobic transition zones, notably riparian and lakeside zones, are hotspots for algae-bacteria interactions. Here, we adopted a Mn(II)-oxidizing bacterium Pseudomonas sp. QJX-1 to investigate the impact of algae on microbial Mn(II) oxidation and verify the underlying mechanisms. Interestingly, we achieved a remarkable enhancement in bacterial Mn(II)-oxidizing activity within the algae-bacteria co-culture, despite the inability to oxidize Mn(II) for the algae used in this study. In addition, the bacterial density almost remains constant in the presence of algal cells. Therefore, the increased Mn(II) oxidation by QJX-1 in the presence of algae cannot be due to the increased biomass. Within this co-culture system, the Mn(II) oxidation rate surged to an impressive 0.23 mg/L/h, in stark contrast to 0.02 mg/L/h recorded within pure QJX-1 system. The presence of algae could inhibit the Fe-S cluster activity of QJX-1 by the produced active substance in co-culture, and result in the acceleration of extracellular superoxide production due to the impairment of electron transfer functions located in QJX-1 cell membranes. Moreover, elevated peroxidase gene expression and heightened extracellular catalase activity not only expedited Mn(II) ions oxidation but also facilitated conversion of intermediate Mn(III) ions into microbial Mn oxides, achieved through the degradation of hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, the acceleration of extracellular superoxide production and the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide are identified as the principal mechanisms behind the observed enhancement in Mn(II) oxidation within algae-bacteria co-cultures. Our findings highlight the need to consider the effect of algae on microbial Mn(II) oxidation, which plays an important role in the environmental pollution remediation.

Abstract
The key role of manganese (Mn) in the biogeochemical cycle of trace elements has been of great interest in recent years. Nevertheless, the redox properties of aqueous Mn(III) have been studied to a lesser extent. Mn(III) is not stable in solution by itself. However, when complexed with inorganic ligands, it has shown potential to oxidize and reduce trace elements. In the present study, we are exploring the redox characteristics of the complex Mn(III)-Pyrophosphate (Mn(III)-PP). This complex is stable over a wide range of pH values but requires the ratio of Mn:PP to be less than 1:6. Specifically, the redox reaction of chromium (Cr(III)) and Mn(III)-PP is investigated. A solid, Cr(OH)3, is used as a source of Cr(III). For this reaction, environmentally relevant parameters, such as pH, ionic strength, ratio Mn(III)/Cr(III), and excess of ligand, were assessed. Results showed that Mn(III) can effectively oxidize Cr(III) to Cr(VI), taking about 15 days for the reaction to complete. This reaction occurs only under acidic conditions (pH 4), and with a low excess of Pyrophosphate. The initial Mn(III) concentration decreases as the Cr(VI) is produced, and Cr(VI) can be adsorbed back into the Cr(OH)3 surface, limiting the mobility of this toxic species. Despite this adsorption, significant amounts of Cr(VI) are release in the aqueous phase. This study shows the importance of a mobile species (Mn-PP complex) in the oxidation of Cr(III) and the release of Cr(VI) to the environment.

Abstract
Photosensitizer-mediated abiotic oxidation of Mn(II) can yield soluble reactive Mn(III) and solid Mn oxides. In eutrophic water systems, the ubiquitous algal extracellular organic matter (EOM) is a potential photosensitizer and may have a substantial impact on the oxidation of Mn(II). Herein, we focused on investigating the photochemical oxidation process from Mn(II) to solid Mn oxide driven by EOM. The results of irradiation experiments demonstrated that the generation of Mn(III) intermediate was crucial for the successful photo oxidization of Mn(II) to solid Mn oxide mediated by EOM. EOM can serve as both a photosensitizer and a ligand, facilitating the formation of the Mn(III)-EOM complex. The complex exhibited excellent efficiency in removing 17α-ethinylestradiol. Furthermore, the complex underwent decomposition as a result of reactions with reactive intermediates, forming a solid Mn oxide. The presence of nitrate can enhance the photochemical oxidation process, facilitating the conversion of Mn(II) to Mn(III) and then to solid Mn oxide. This study deepens our grasp of Mn(II) geochemical processes in eutrophic water and its impact on organic micropollutant fate.

Abstract
Chlorobenzene (CB) is a prevalent organic contaminant in water and soil environments. It presents high chemical stability and is resistant to both oxidation and reduction. In this study, we showed that CB was substantially removed by soluble Mn(III) produced during the reductive dissolution of colloidal MnO2 by naturally-occurring organic acids such as formate (FOR), oxalate (OX), and citrate (CIT). The removal rate was dependent on the physicochemical properties of organic acids. With strong electron-donating and coordination ability, OX and CIT promoted MnO2 dissolution and Mn(III) generation compared to FOR, but had adverse effects on the stability and reactivity of Mn(III). As a result, CB removal followed the order: MnO2/CIT > MnO2/FOR > MnO2/OX. Analysis of the transformation products showed that Mn(III) complexes acted as strong electrophiles, attacking the ortho/para carbons of the benzene ring and transforming CB to chlorophenols via an electrophilic substitution mechanism. The theoretical foundation of this proposed reaction mechanism was supplemented by quantum mechanical calculations. Together, the findings of this study provide new insights into the transformation of CB in natural environments and hold the potential to offer a novel strategy for the development of manganese oxide/ligand systems for CB elimination.

Abstract
Although Mn(III) complexes with organic ligands have been previously identified, the information about their stability and reactivity is scarce. In the present study, we analyzed the formation and stability of three different complexes: Mn(III)-citrate, Mn(III)-tartrate, and Mn(III)-humic acid (HA), as well as their reactivity toward an element of high environmental concern, lead (Pb).Our results indicate that the stability of studied complexes is highly dependent on pH. The Mn(III) complexes with citrate and tartrate degrade below pH 8, due to the electron transfer reaction between Mn(III) and the ligand, while the Mn(III)-HA complex's degradation is slower and less sensitive to pH. At pH 4, less than 40% of the initial Mn(III)-HA was found to be stable.The reactivity of the complexes was different depending on the ligand and its concentration. The Mn(III)-citrate and Mn(III)-tartrate complexes effectively reduced PbO2 and releases aqueous Pb2+, although significant differences were found with increasing ligand concentration. There was no evidence of the reduction of PbO2 by Mn(III) when it forms a complex with HA. This is likely due to the large size of HA moieties that prevent the Mn(III) component of the complex from getting close enough to the PbO2 surface to initiate electron transfer and lead to the reduction of Pb(IV) by HA itself.

Abstract
The environmental fate of arsenic (As) relies substantially on its speciation, which occurs frequently coupled to the redox transformation of manganese. While trivalent manganese (Mn(III)), which is known for its high reactivity, is believed to play a role in As mobilization by iron (oxyhydr)oxides in dynamic aquifers, the exact roles and underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Using increasingly complex batch experiments that mimick As-affected aquifer conditions in combination with time-resolved characterization, we demonstrate that Mn(III)-NOM complexes play a crucial role in the manganese-mediated immobilization of As(III) by ferrihydrite and goethite. Under anaerobic condition, Mn(III)-fulvic acid (FA) rapidly oxidized 31.8% of aqueous As(III) and bound both As(III) and As(V). Furthermore, Mn(III)-FA exerted significantly different effects on the adsorption of As by ferrihydrite and goethite. Mn(III)-FA increased the adsorption of As by 6-16% due to the higher affinity of oxidation-produced As(V) for ferrihydrite under circumneutral conditions. In contrast, As adsorption by crystalline goethite was eventually inhibited due to the competitive effect of Mn(III)-FA. To summarize, our results reveal that Mn(III)-NOM complexes play dual roles in As retention by iron oxides, depending on the their crystallization. This highlights the importance of Mn(III) for the fate of As particularly in redox fluctuating groundwater environments.

Abstract
Polymorphs of MnO2 comprise Mn(III) and Mn(IV), which are both strong oxidants capable of BPA degradation, but their relative contributions are unclear. To advance process understanding, the reactivities of biogenic MnO2 prepared using Roseobacter sp. AzwK-3b and synthetic MnO2 (i.e., hexagonal and triclinic birnessite) toward BPA were compared. Both colloidal and particulate biogenic MnO2, as well as triclinic birnessite, showed insignificant reactivity towards BPA, but degradation did occur when pyrophosphate (PP), a ligand for Mn(III), was present. Despite higher Mn(III) content of triclinic birnessite (38.6 %), only hexagonal birnessite with an Mn(III) content of 30.4 % degraded BPA without PP, and no rate increases were observed following the addition of PP. Similarly, colloidal MnO2 degraded BPA with nearly double the rate measured with particulate MnO2 (i.e., 1.24 ± 0.10 versus 0.73 ± 0.08 h-1), even though the Mn(III) contents were only 10 % different. The Mn(III) release rates from each MnO2 polymorph in the presence of PP correlated more strongly with the observed BPA degradation rates than with Mn(III) content, suggesting that both Mn(III) release rate and Mn(III) content govern MnO2-mediated BPA degradation. In natural settings, Mn(III) generally occurs in complexed form suggesting that laboratory testing should include ligands to derive environmentally relevant information about MnO2-mediated degradation of BPA and other compounds of concern.

Abstract
A strategy for designing cancer therapeutic nanovaccines based on immunogenic cell death (ICD)-inducing therapeutic modalities is particularly attractive for optimal therapeutic efficacy. In this work, a highly effective cancer therapeutic nanovaccine (denoted as MPL@ICC) based on immunogenic photodynamic therapy (PDT) was rationally designed and fabricated. MPL@ICC was composed of a nanovehicle of MnO2 modified with a host-guest complex using amino pillar[6]arene and lactose-pyridine, a prodrug of isoniazid (INH), and chlorine e6 (Ce6). The nanovaccine exhibited excellent biosafety, good targeting ability to hepatoma cells and enrichment at tumor sites. Most importantly, it could modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME) to facilitate the existence of Mn(iii) and Mn(iii)-mediated carbon-centered radical generation with INH released from the prodrug in situ to further strengthen ICD. This is the first report on Mn(iii)-mediated generation of carbon-centered radicals for successful anti-tumor immunotherapy using ICD, which provides a novel strategy for designing highly efficient cancer therapeutic nanovaccines.

Abstract
Attention has been long focused on enhancing permanganate (Mn(VII)) oxidation capacity for eliminating organic contaminants via generating active manganese intermediates (AMnIs). Nevertheless, limited consideration has been given to the unnecessary consumption of Mn(VII) due to the spontaneous disproportionation of AMnIs during their formation. In this work, we innovatively introduced green polyaspartic acid (PASP) as both reducing and chelating agents to activate Mn(VII) to enhance the oxidation capacity and utilization efficiency of Mn(VII). Multiple lines of evidence suggest that Mn(III), existing as Mn(III)-PASP complex, was generated and dominated the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) in the Mn(VII)/PASP system. The stabilized Mn(III) species enabled Mn(VII) utilization efficiency in the Mn(VII)/PASP system to be higher than that in Mn(VII) alone. Moreover, the electrophilic Mn(III) species was verified to mainly attack the inclusive benzene ring and isopropyl group to realize BPA oxidation and its toxicity reduction in the Mn(VII)/PASP system. In addition, the Mn(VII)/PASP system showed the potential for selectively oxidizing organic contaminants bearing phenol and aniline moieties in real waters without interference from most of coexisting water matrices. This work brightens an overlooked route to both high oxidation capacity and efficient Mn(VII) utilization in the Mn(VII)-based oxidation processes.

The apparent removal rates of cephalexin in the presence of MBCs (2.49 - 6.39 × 10-2 h-1) and BCM (13.3 × 10-3 h-1) were significantly higher than that in the presence of biochar prepared under similar conditions (4.2 × 10-3 h-1). While the •OH generated from the activation of dissolved O2 by the persistent free radicals (PFRs) and phenolic -OH on BC could cause degradation of cephalexin, its removal was drastically enhanced through direct oxidation by the MnOx and related Mn species on Mn-modified BCs. The removal of cephalexin by MBCs decreased as the solution pH was raised from 5.0 to 9.0, which supports the critical role played by Mn3O4 in its oxidation. Removal of cephalexin in the presence of MBCs and Mn3O4 was enhanced with the introduction of Mn(II) ions, suggesting that the Mn3O4 present on MBCs facilitates the re-oxidation of Mn(II) to highly reactive Mn(III). While MnO2 anchored on BCM also enhanced the cephalexin oxidation, the active sites of BC and MnO2 were partially destroyed during post-modification of BC, compromising the redox cycling of Mn(II)/Mn(III) and the generation of •OH. As a result, the performance of BCM in oxidizing cephalexin was inferior to that of MBCs. These findings shed new light on the development of environmentally benign sorbents capable of simultaneously adsorbing and oxidizing organic pollutants.

Abstract
Constructing nanozymes with satisfactory catalytic efficiency under physiological conditions is still in great demand for facilitating the advancement of biocatalysts. We herein present a gold nanoparticles-carbon dots nanocomposite (Au-CDs) as an efficient photo-activated nanozyme for monitoring H2O2 released from living cells. The integration of CDs with AuNPs remarkably accelerates the catalytic activity at neutral pH via engaging Mn3+ ions as the mediators. Meanwhile, the reserved cyclodextrin cavities also enhance the adsorption capacity towards chromogenic substrates through host-guest interactions. Moreover, taking advantage of the inhibitory effect of H2O2 on the photo-oxidation ability of the Au-CDs nanocomposite, the Au-CDs based colorimetric method was able to realize in situ assessment of the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) released from living cells. This method paves a new way to establish a promising biosensing platform for unraveling biological events.

Algal organic matter and dissolved Mn cooperatively accelerate 17α-ethinylestradiol photodegradation: Role of photogenerated reactive Mn(III). WATER RESEARCH 2023; 236:119980.

Abstract
Algal extracellular organic matter (EOM), a major fraction of the dissolved organic matter found in eutrophic plateau lakes, can act as a photosensitizer to drive the abiotic oxidation of Mn(II). This process has the potential to generate reactive Mn(III) and influence the fate of organic pollutants. In this study, the photodegradation of 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) in the presence of Mn(II) and EOM was investigated with emphasis on the photogeneration mechanism of Mn(III). The results indicated that Mn(II) can accelerate EE2 photodegradation in EOM solution owing to the photogeneration of reactive Mn(III), and the enhancement was greater at higher Mn(II) concentrations. The generation of reactive Mn(III) was mainly attributable to the action of superoxide radical generated by photosensitization of EOM. In addition, the photodegradation of EE2 was slower at higher pH, possibly because of the deactivation of Mn(III) under alkaline conditions. Single-electron transfer was an indispensable process in the photodegradation. The differences in fluorophore content, pH, and NO3- concentrations are all important determinants for EE2 photodegradation in natural waters. The information obtained in this research would contribute to the understanding of reactions between Mn(II) and EOM, and provide new insights into the behaviors of reactive Mn(III) in eutrophic water irradiated by sunlight.

Abstract
Manganese oxides are considered an essential component of natural geochemical barriers due to their redox and sorptive reactivity towards essential and potentially toxic trace elements. Despite the perception that they are in a relatively stable phase, microorganisms can actively alter the prevailing conditions in their microenvironment and initiate the dissolution of minerals, a process that is governed by various direct (enzymatic) or indirect mechanisms. Microorganisms are also capable of precipitating the bioavailable manganese ions via redox transformations into biogenic minerals, including manganese oxides (e.g., low-crystalline birnessite) or oxalates. Microbially mediated transformation influences the (bio)geochemistry of manganese and also the environmental chemistry of elements intimately associated with its oxides. Therefore, the biodeterioration of manganese-bearing phases and the subsequent biologically induced precipitation of new biogenic minerals may inevitably and severely impact the environment. This review highlights and discusses the role of microbially induced or catalyzed processes that affect the transformation of manganese oxides in the environment as relevant to the function of geochemical barriers.

Abstract
Proton activity is the master variable in many biogeochemical reactions. To control pH, laboratory studies involving redox-sensitive minerals like manganese (Mn) oxides frequently use organic buffers (typically Good's buffers); however, two Good's buffers, HEPES and MES, have been shown to reduce Mn(IV) to Mn(III). Because Mn(III) strongly controls mineral reactivity, avoiding experimental artefacts that increase Mn(III) content is critical to avoid confounding results. Here, we quantified the extent of Mn reduction upon reaction between Mn oxides and several Good's buffers (MES, pKa = 6.10; PIPES, pKa = 6.76; MOPS, pKa = 7.28; HEPES, pKa = 7.48) and TRIS (pKa = 8.1) buffer. For δ-MnO2, Mn reduction was rapid, with up to 35% solid-phase Mn(III) generated within 1 h of reaction with Good's buffers; aqueous Mn was minimal in all Good's buffers experiments except those where pH was one unit below the buffer pKa and the reaction proceeded for 24 h. Additionally, the extent of Mn reduction after 24 h increased in the order MES < MOPS < PIPES < HEPES << TRIS. Of the variables tested, the initial Mn(II,III) content had the greatest effect on susceptibility to reduction, such that Mn reduction scaled inversely with the initial average oxidation number (AMON) of the oxide. For biogenic Mn oxides, which consist of a mixture of Mn oxides, bacterial cells and extracelluar polymeric substances, the extent of Mn reduction was lower than predicted from experiments using abiotic analogs and may result from biotic re-oxidation of reduced Mn or a difference in the reducibility of abiotic versus biogenic oxides. The results from this study show that organic buffers, including morpholinic and piperazinic Good's buffers and TRIS, should be avoided for pH control in Mn oxide systems due to their ability to transfer electrons to Mn, which modifies the composition and reactivity of these redox-active minerals.

Abstract
Recent laboratory and field studies show the need to consider the formation of aqueous Mn(III)-siderophore complexes in manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) geochemical cycling, a shift from the historical view that aqueous Mn(III) species are unstable and thus unimportant. In this study, we quantified Mn and Fe mobilization by desferrioxamine B (DFOB), a terrestrial bacterial siderophore, in single (Mn or Fe) and mixed (Mn and Fe) mineral systems. We selected manganite (γ-MnOOH), δ-MnO2, lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH), and 2-line ferrihydrite (Fe2O3·0.5H2O) as relevant mineral phases. We found that DFOB mobilized Mn(III) as Mn(III)-DFOB complexes to varying extents from both Mn(III,IV) oxyhydroxides but reduction of Mn(IV) to Mn(III) was required for the mobilization of Mn(III) from δ-MnO2. The initial rates of Mn(III)-DFOB mobilization from manganite and δ-MnO2 were not affected by the presence of lepidocrocite but decreased by a factor of 5 and 10 for manganite and δ-MnO2, respectively, in the presence of 2-line ferrihydrite. Additionally, the decomposition of Mn(III)-DFOB complexes through Mn-for-Fe ligand exchange and/or ligand oxidation led to Mn(II) mobilization and Mn(III) precipitation in the mixed-mineral systems (∼10% (mol Mn/mol Fe)). As a result, the concentration of Fe(III) mobilized as Fe(III)-DFOB decreased by up to 50% and 80% in the presence of manganite and δ-MnO2, respectively, compared to the single mineral systems. Our results demonstrate that siderophores, through their complexation of Mn(III), reduction of Mn(III,IV), and mobilization of Mn(II), can redistribute Mn to other soil minerals and limit the bioavailability of Fe in natural systems.

Abstract
Methyl parathion (MP) is a typical organophosphorus pesticide that is widely used worldwide, and hydrolysis, oxidation and reduction are the main abiotic degradation processes. Manganese dioxide (MnO2) and organic acid can participate in various geochemical processes of pollutants, a reaction system was constructed to degrade MP using δ-MnO2 and oxalic acid. The δ-MnO2/oxalic acid reaction system could efficiently degrade MP, and the removal rate of MP (20 μM) reached 67.83% within 30 h under the optimized conditions (pH 5, [δ-MnO2] = 2 mM, [oxalic acid] = 100 mM). MP was hydrolyzed by substitution reactions of SN@P and SN@C, and reduced by conversion of the nitro groups (-NO2) in MP and its hydrolysates to amino groups (-NH2). The primary active substance produced in the reaction system was the complexes dominated by Mn(III)-oxalic acid. This study provides a scientific basis for the degradation of organophosphorus pesticides using MnO2 and an organic acid. The results have important theoretical significance and application value for pollution control and remediation of organophosphorus pesticides.

Abstract
Oxidation of Mn(II) or As(III) by molecular oxygen is slow at pH < 9, while they can be catalytically oxidized in the presence of oxide minerals and then removed from contaminated water. However, the reaction mechanisms on simultaneous oxidation of Mn(II) and As(III) on oxide mineral surface and their accompanied removal efficiency remain unclear. This study compared Mn(II) oxidation on four common metal oxides (γ-Al2O3, CuO, α-Fe2O3 and ZnO) and investigated the simultaneous oxidation and removal of Mn(II) and As(III) through batch experiments and spectroscopic analyses. Among the tested oxides, CuO and α-Fe2O3 possess greater catalytic activity toward Mn(II) oxidation. Oxidation and removal kinetics of Mn(II) and As(III) on CuO indicate that O2 is the terminal electron acceptor for Mn(II) and As(III) oxidation on CuO, and Mn(II) acts as an electron shuttle to promote As(III) oxidation and removal. The main oxidized product of Mn(II) on CuO is high-valent MnOx species. This newly formed Mn(III) or Mn(IV) phases promote As(III) oxidation on CuO at circumneutral pH 8 and is reduced to Mn(II), which may be then released into solution. This study provides new insights into metal oxide-catalyzed oxidation of pollutants Mn(II) and As(III) and suggests that CuO should be considered as an efficient material to remediate Mn(II) and As(III) contamination.

Abstract
Manganese ion [Mn(II)] is a background constituent existing in natural waters. Herein, it was found that only 59% of bisphenol A (BPA), 47% of bisphenol F (BPF), 65% of acetaminophen (AAP), and 49% of 4-tert-butylphenol (4-tBP) were oxidized by 20 μM of Fe(VI), while 97% of BPA, 95% of BPF, 96% of AAP, and 94% of 4-tBP could be oxidized by the Fe(VI)/Mn(II) system [20 μM Fe(VI)/20 μM Mn(II)] at pH 7.0. Further investigations showed that bisphenol S (BPS) was highly reactive with reactive iron species (RFeS) but was sluggish with reactive manganese species (RMnS). By using BPS and methyl phenyl sulfoxide (PMSO) as the probe compounds, it was found that reactive iron species contributed primarily for BPA oxidation at low Mn(II)/Fe(VI) molar ratios (below 0.1), while reactive manganese species [Mn(VII)/Mn(III)] contributed increasingly for BPA oxidation with the elevation of the Mn(II)/Fe(VI) molar ratio (from 0.1 to 3.0). In the interaction of Mn(II) and Fe(VI), the transfer of oxidation capacity from Fe(VI) to Mn(III), including the formation of Mn(VII) and the inhibition of Fe(VI) self-decay, improved the amount of electron equivalents per Fe(VI) for BPA oxidation. UV-vis spectra and dominant transformation product analysis further revealed the evolution of iron and manganese species at different Mn(II)/Fe(VI) molar ratios.

Abstract
Biogenic manganese (Mn) oxides occur ubiquitously in the environment including the uranium (U) mill tailings at the Ningyo-toge U mine in Okayama, Japan, being important in the sequestration of radioactive radium. To understand the nanoscale processes in Mn oxides formation at the U mill tailings site, Mn2+ absorption by a basidiomycete fungus, Coprinopsis urticicola, isolated from Ningyo-toge mine water samples, was investigated in the laboratory under controlled conditions utilizing electron microscopy, synchrotron-based X-ray analysis, and fluorescence microscopy with a molecular pH probe. The fungus' growth was first investigated in an agar-solidified medium supplemented with 1.0 mmol/L Mn2+, and Cu2+ (0-200 μM), Zn2+ (0-200 μM), or diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) chloride (0-100 μM) at 25 °C. The results revealed that Zn2+ has no significant effects on Mn oxide formation, whereas Cu2+ and DPI significantly inhibit both fungal growth and Mn oxidation, indicating superoxide-mediated Mn oxidation. Indeed, nitroblue tetrazolium and diaminobenzidine assays on the growing fungus revealed the production of superoxide and peroxide. During the interaction of Mn2+ with the fungus in solution medium at the initial pH of 5.67, a small fraction of Mn2+ infiltrated the fungal hyphae within 8 h, forming a few tens of nm-sized concentrates of soluble Mn2+ in the intracellular pH of ∼6.5. After 1 day of incubation, Mn oxides began to precipitate on the hyphae, which were characterized as fibrous nanocrystals with a hexagonal birnessite-structure, these forming spherical aggregates with a diameter of ∼1.5 μm. These nanoscale processes associated with the fungal species derived from the Ningyo-toge mine area provide additional insights into the existing mechanisms of Mn oxidation by filamentous fungi at other U mill tailings sites under circumneutral pH conditions. Such processes add to the class of reactions important to the sequestration of toxic elements.

Zhao X, Xie Z, Liu T, Li P, Pei F, Wang L. Coupling and environmental implications of in situ formed biogenic Fe-Mn minerals induced by indigenous bacteria and oxygen perturbations for As(III) immobilization in groundwater. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 858:159884. [PMID: 36334665 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.159884] [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: 07/18/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Iron (Fe)-manganese (Mn) minerals formed in situ can be used for the natural remediation of the primary poor-quality groundwater with coexistence of arsenite [As(III)], Mn(II), and Fe(II) (PGAMF). However, the underlying mechanisms of immobilization and coupling of As, Mn, and Fe during in-situ formation of Fe-Mn minerals in PGAMF remains unclear. The simultaneous immobilization and coupling of arsenic (As), Mn, and Fe in PGAMF during in-situ formation of biogenic Fe-Mn minerals induced by O2 perturbations and indigenous bacteria (Comamonas sp. RM6) were investigated at the different molar ratios of Fe(II):Mn(II) (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1). Compared with systems without Fe(II) in the presence of Mn(II), the coexisted Fe(II) significantly enhanced Mn(II) bio-oxidation and mineral precipitation, resulting in As immobilization increased by 5, 7, and 7 times at initial Fe(II) concentration of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 mM, respectively. Moreover, the As(III) immobilization efficiencies in Mn(II) and Fe(II) mixed system at initial Fe(II) concentration of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 mM were 73%, 91%, and 92%, respectively, that were significantly higher than those of single Fe(II) system (30%, 59%, and 74%) and those of single Mn(II) system (12%), indicating that Fe(II) and Mn(II) oxidation synergically enhanced As(III) immobilization. This was mainly attributed to the formation and As adsorption capacity of biogenic Fe-Mn minerals (BFMM). The formed BFMM significantly facilitated simultaneous immobilization of Fe, Mn, and As in PGAMF by oxidation, adsorption, and precipitation/coprecipitation, a coupling of biological, physical, and chemical processes. Fe component was mainly responsible for As fixation, and Mn component dominated As(III) oxidation. Based on the results from this work, biostimulation and bioaugmentation techniques can be developed for in-situ purification and remediation of PGAMF. This work provides insights into the simultaneous immobilization of pollutants in PGAMF, as well as promising strategies for in-situ purification and remediation of PGAMF.

Abstract
Lactobacillaceae are a diverse family of lactic acid bacteria found in the gut microbiota of humans and many animals. These bacteria exhibit beneficial effects on intestinal health, including modulating the immune system and providing protection against pathogens, and many species are frequently used as probiotics. Gut bacteria acquire essential metal ions, like iron, zinc, and manganese, through the host diet and changes to the levels of these metals are often linked to alterations in microbial community composition, susceptibility to infection, and gastrointestinal diseases. Lactobacillaceae are frequently among the organisms increased or decreased in abundance due to changes in metal availability, yet many of the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes have yet to be defined. Metal requirements and metallotransporters have been studied in some species of Lactobacillaceae, but few of the mechanisms used by these bacteria to respond to metal limitation or excess have been investigated. This review provides a current overview of these mechanisms and covers how iron, zinc, and manganese impact Lactobacillaceae in the gut microbiota with an emphasis on their biochemical roles, requirements, and homeostatic mechanisms in several species.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn(II)) pollution has recently increased and requires efficient remediation. In this study, Serratia marcescens QZB-1, isolated from acidic red soil, exhibited high tolerance against Mn(II) (up to 364 mM). Strain QZB-1 removed a total of 98.4% of 18 mM Mn(II), with an adsorption rate of 71.4% and oxidation rate of 28.6% after incubation for 48 h. The strain synthesized more protein (PN) to absorb Mn(II) when stimulated with Mn(II). The pH value of the cultural medium continuously increased during the Mn(II) removal process. The product crystal composition (mainly MnO2 and MnCO3), Mn-O functional group, and element-level fluctuations confirmed Mn oxidation. Overall, strain QZB-1 efficiently removed high concentration of Mn(II) mainly via adsorption and showed great potential for manganese wastewater removal.

[PMID: 36113658 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 08/07/2022] [Accepted: 09/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Microorganism-mediated Mn(Ⅱ) removal has gained increasing attention as a valuble bioremediation approach. In this study, a novel strain Stenotrophomonas sp. MNB17 - obtained from marine sediments - was found to show Mn(Ⅱ) removal efficiencies of 98.51-99.38% within 7 days and 92.24% within 20 days at Mn(Ⅱ) concentrations of 10-40 mM and 50 mM, respectively. On day 7, 80.44% of 50 mM Mn(Ⅱ) was oxidized to Mn(Ⅲ/Ⅳ), whereas only 2.11-2.86% of 10-40 mM Mn(Ⅱ) was oxidized. This difference in the proportion of Mn-oxides suggested that the strain MNB17 could remove soluble Mn(Ⅱ) via distinct mechanisms under different Mn(Ⅱ) concentrations. At 10 mM Mn(Ⅱ), indirect mechanisms were employed by strain MNB17 to remove Mn(Ⅱ). The sufficient energy generated by increased cellular respiration led to enhanced ammonification, and MnCO3 was the main component of the Mn-precipitates (97.27%). Meanwhile, intracellular fatty acids were degraded and served as an important carbon source for respiration. At 50 mM Mn(Ⅱ), most of the soluble Mn(Ⅱ) was oxidized, and Mn-oxides dominated the Mn-precipitates (80.44%). Mn(Ⅱ) oxidation likely contributed to electrons for energy production, as the down-regulation of respiratory pathways resulted in a deficit of electron supply, which warrants futher study. The exogenous addition of tricarboxylic acid cycle substrates (malate, α-ketoglutarate, oxaloacetate, succinate, and fumarate) was found to accelerate Mn(Ⅱ) removal as MnCO3 at a concentration of 50 mM. Overall, this study reports a novel strain MNB17 with the biotechnological potential of Mn(Ⅱ) removal and elucidates the function of cellular energy metabolism during the Mn(Ⅱ) removal process. In addition, it demonstrates the potential of aerobic respiration-related substrates in accelerating the removal of high concentrations of Mn(Ⅱ) for the first time.

Abstract
Although the onset time of chemical reactions can be manipulated by mechanical, electrical, and optical methods, its chemical control remains highly challenging. Herein, we report a chemical timer approach for manipulating the emission onset time of chemiluminescence (CL) reactions. A mixture of Mn2+, NaHCO3, and a luminol analog with H2O2 produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) radicals and other superoxo species (superoxide containing complex) with high efficiency, accompanied by strong and immediate CL emission. Surprisingly, the addition of thiourea postponed CL emission in a concentration-dependent manner. The delay was attributed to a slow-generation-scavenging mechanism, which was found to be generally applicable not only to various types of CL reagents and ROS radical scavengers but also to popular chromogenic reactions. The precise regulation of CL kinetics was further utilized in dynamic chemical coding with improved coding density and security. This approach provides a powerful platform for engineering chemical reaction kinetics using chemical timers, which is of application potential in bioassays, biosensors, CL microscopic imaging, microchips, array chips, and informatics.

Abstract
Catalytic ceramic nanofiber membranes (Mn@CNMs) were prepared by anchoring Mn2O3 nanoparticles on the pits of attapulgite (APT) nanofibers via an impregnation and in-situ precipitation method. An integrated catalytic ozonation/membrane filtration process applying Mn@CNM was employed to degrade sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and the removal achieved up to 81.3% during a 7-h continuous filtration. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) quenching and radical detection experiments were conducted to determine the contribution of 1O2, ·OH and O2·- towards the catalytic degradation of SMX. Moreover, Mn@CNM exhibited wide applicability for real water matrix and the total removal of various kinds of emerging contaminants in real hospital wastewater reached up to 98.5%. The excellent performances of Mn@CNM were attributed to the nano-confinement effect in the membrane layer. First, anchoring Mn2O3 nanoparticles on the pits of the APT surface suppressed the growth and aggregation of nanosized Mn2O3, providing abundant reactive sites for catalytic ozonation. Second, the interlaced APT nanofibers formed nano-sized network structures, where ROS and SMX were confined in close vicinity and ROS have more chances to attack SMX. This work provides a promising strategy for the preparation of catalytic ceramic membrane with high catalytic efficiency for degradation of emerging contaminants in water.

Abstract
Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), such as bisphenol A (BPA) and 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2), have increasingly negative effects on human and wildlife health. In this study, the biogenic Mn oxides (BMOs) generated by Bacillus sp. WH4 were characterized, and the removal effects and reaction kinetics of BPA and EE2 by BMOs under different pH values, initial organic concentrations, and dosages of BMOs were discussed. The results showed that the formation of BMOs was extracellular process, and Mn(II) was oxidized to Mn(III) and Mn(IV) with 23.56% and 76.44%, respectively. The degradation processes of BPA and EE2 by BMOs followed first-order reaction kinetics, and the removal effect decreased with increasing initial BPA/EE2 concentrations and increased with increasing dosages of BMOs. However, the removal effect of BPA by BMOs decreased and then increased with increasing pH, while the removal effect of EE2 by BMOs decreased with increasing pH. Under optimal conditions, the removal efficiency of BPA and EE2 exceeded 98.2% and 94.3%, respectively. Additionally, this study showed that BMOs degraded BPA by coupling, oxidative condensation, substitution, and elimination reactions to obtain sixteen intermediate products and EE2 by substitution and elimination reactions to obtain seven intermediate products.

Abstract
Many iron(II, III, VI)- and manganese(II, IV, VII)-based oxidation processes can generate reactive iron/manganese species (RFeS/RMnS, i.e., Fe(IV)/Fe(V) and Mn(III)/Mn(V)/Mn(VI)), which have mild and selective reactivity toward a wide range of organic contaminants, and thus have drawn significant attention. The reaction mechanisms of these processes are rather complicated due to the simultaneous involvement of multiple radical and/or nonradical species. As a result, the ambiguity in the occurrence of RFeS/RMnS and divergence in the degradation mechanisms of trace organic contaminants in the presence of RFeS/RMnS exist in literature. In order to improve the critical understanding of the RFeS/RMnS-mediated oxidation processes, the detection methods of RFeS/RMnS and their roles in the destruction of trace organic contaminants are reviewed with special attention to some specific problems related to the scavenger and probe selection and experimental results analysis potentially resulting in some questionable conclusions. Moreover, the influence of background constituents, such as organic matter and halides, on oxidation efficiency of RFeS/RMnS-mediated oxidation processes and formation of byproducts are discussed through their comparison with those in free radicals-dominated oxidation processes. Finally, the prospects of the RFeS/RMnS-mediated oxidation processes and the challenges for future applications are presented.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) oxides are widespread on the surface environments of the modern Earth. The role of microbial activities in the formation of Mn oxides has been discussed for several decades. However, the mechanisms of microbial Mn oxidation, and its role in complex microbial communities in natural environments, remain uncertain. Here, we report the geochemical, mineralogical, and metagenomic evidence for biogenic Mn oxides, found in Japanese hot spring sinters. The low crystallinity of Mn oxides, and their spatial associations with organic matter, support the biogenic origin of Mn oxides. Specific multicopper oxidases (MCOs), which are considered Mn-oxidizing enzymes, were identified using metagenomic analyses. Nanoscale nuggets of copper sulfides were, also, discovered in the organic matter in Mn-rich sinters. A part of these copper sulfides most likely represents traces of MCOs, and this is the first report of traces of Mn-oxidizing enzyme in geological samples. Metagenomic analyses, surprisingly, indicated a close association of Mn oxides, not only in aerobic but also in anaerobic microbial communities. These new findings offer the unique and unified positions of Mn oxides, with roles that have not been ignored, to sustain anaerobic microbial communities in hot spring environments.

Abstract
Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) cannot remove organic micropollutants efficiently, and thus various polishing processes are increasingly being studied. One such potential process is utilising biogenic manganese oxides (BioMnOx). The present study operated two moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs) with synthetic sewage as feed, one reactor feed was spiked with Mn(II) which allowed the continuous formation of BioMnOx by Mn-oxidising bacteria in the suspended biofilms (i.e. BioMn-MBBR). Spiking experiments with 14 micropollutants were conducted to investigate if BioMnOx combined with MBBR could be utilised to polish micropollutants in wastewater treatment. Results show enhanced removal by BioMn-MBBR over control MBBR (without BioMnOx) for specific micropollutants, such as diclofenac (36% vs. 5%) and sulfamethoxazole (80% vs. 24%). However, diclofenac removal was significantly inhibited when municipal wastewater was fed, and a further batch experiment demonstrates the reduced removal of diclofenac could be due to (unusual) higher pH in municipal wastewater compared to synthetic sewage. A shift in bacterial community was also observe in BioMn-MBBR over long-term operation. Overall, BioMn-MBBR in this study shows great potential for practical application in removing a larger range of micropollutants, which could be applied as an efficient polishing step for typical municipal wastewater.

Abstract
Functional material synthesis through biomineralization is effective and environmentally friendly. Biomineralized manganese (Mn) oxides are important for remediation and energy storage. Manganese(II) biomineralization is achieved by a diverse group of bacteria. We show that in the presence of oxygen the dissimilatory manganese-reducing bacterium Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 can oxidize Mn(II). The Mn(II) oxidation was accelerated with the increase in the initial Mn(II) concentration from 0.5 to 3 mM. The reaction was mainly associated with a cell-free filtrate, rather than the direct enzymatic oxidation or indirect oxidation by reactive oxygen species or macrocyclic siderophores. Instead, indirect oxidization of Mn(II) into soluble Mn(III) and bixbyite-like Mn2O3 via microbially produced extracellular ligands (molecular weights of 1-3 kDa) was identified. This work broadens our view about microbial Mn(II) oxidation and unveils the important roles of Shewanella species in the geochemical cycling of manganese.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), a high production volume chemical and potential endocrine disruptor, is found to be associated with sediments and soils due to its hydrophobicity (log KOW of 3.42). We used superfine powdered activated carbon (SPAC) with a particle size of 1.38 ± 0.03 μm as a BPA sorbent and assessed degradation of BPA by oxidized manganese (Mn) species. SPAC strongly sorbed BPA, and desorption required organic solvents. No degradation of adsorbed BPA (278.7 ± 0.6 mg BPA g-1 SPAC) was observed with synthetic, solid α-MnO2 with a particle size of 15.41 ± 1.35 μm; however, 89% mass reduction occurred following the addition of 0.5 mM soluble Mn(III). Small-angle neutron scattering data suggested that both adsorption and degradation of BPA occurred in SPAC pores. The findings demonstrate that Mn(III) mediates oxidative transformation of dissolved and adsorbed BPA, the latter observation challenging the paradigm that contaminant desorption and diffusion out of pore structures are required steps for degradation. Soluble Mn(III) is abundant near oxic-anoxic interfaces, and the observation that adsorbed BPA is susceptible to degradation has implications for predicting, and possibly managing, the fate and longevity of BPA in environmental systems.

Abstract
Despite the widespread presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in surface water and groundwater systems, little is known about the impact of environmental levels of H2O2 on the redox activity of minerals. Here we demonstrate that environmental concentrations of H2O2 can alter the reactivity of birnessite-type manganese oxide, an earth-abundant functional material, and decrease its oxidative activity in natural systems across a wide range of pH values (4-8). The H2O2-induced reductive dissolution generates Mn(II) that will re-bind to MnO2 surfaces, thereby affecting the surface charge of MnO2. Competition of Bisphenol A (BPA), used as a target compound here, and Mn(II) to interact with reactive surface sites may cause suppression of the oxidative ability of MnO2. This suppressive effect becomes more effective in the presence of oxyanions such as phosphate or silicate at concentrations comparable to those encountered in natural waters. Unlike nitrate, adsorption of phosphate or silicate onto birnessite increased in the presence of Mn(II) added or generated through H2O2-induced reduction of MnO2. This suggests that naturally occurring anions and H2O2 may have synergetic effects on the reactivity of birnessite-type manganese oxide at a range of environmentally relevant H2O2 amounts. As layered structure manganese oxides play a key role in the global carbon cycle as well as pollutant dynamics, the impact of environmental levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2/MnO2 molar ratio ≤ 0.3) should be considered in environmental fate and transport models.

Abstract
Catalytic performances of Mn2O3 nanoparticles for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation in bisphenol A (BPA) degradation were comprehensively investigated in this study. Experimental results showed that 10 mg/L BPA could be 100% degraded within 20 min with the dosages of 0.2 g/L Mn2O3 and 0.1 mM PMS. Moreover, Mn2O3 showed remarkable activity in activation of PMS and excellent adaptability in various real water matrices, including river water, tap water and secondary effluents. Based on the radical detection and scavenging experiments, it was found that both radical and non-radical oxidation contributed to the degradation of BPA and 1O2 was the dominant species in the degradation compared to •OH, SO4•− and O2•−. A total of 15 transformation products were identified by LC/MS-MS during BPA degradation in the Mn2O3/PMS system, and degradation pathways via three routes are proposed. Compared with lab-made catalysts reported in the literature, the Mn2O3 catalyst demonstrated its superiority in terms of its high TOC removal, low PMS consumption and fast degradation rate for BPA.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are highly attractive for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, stimuli-responsive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) properties and capability to modulate the hypoxic tumour microenvironment (TME). However, conventional MnO2 NPs do not possess photothermal therapy (PTT) functions except for hybrids with other photothermal materials. Herein, we first reveal the extraordinary photothermal conversion efficiency (44%) of enzymatically synthesised MnO2 NPs (Bio-MnO2 NPs), which are distinct from chemically synthesised MnO2 NPs. In addition, the Bio-MnO2 NPs revealed high thermal recycling stability and solubility as well as dual pH- and reduction-responsive MRI enhancement for tumour theragnosis. These NPs were prepared through a facile MnxEFG enzyme-mediated biomineralization process. The MnxEFG complex from Bacillus sp. PL-12 is the only manganese mineralization enzyme that could be heterologously overexpressed in its active form to achieve Bio-MnO2 NPs without a bacterial host. The hexagonal layer symmetry of the Bio-MnO2 NPs is the key feature facilitating the high photothermal conversion efficiency and TME-responsive T1-weighted MRI. Evaluations both in vitro at the cellular level and in vivo in a systematic tumour-bearing mouse xenograft model demonstrated the high photothermal ablation efficacy of the Bio-MnO2 NPs, which achieved complete tumour eradication with high therapeutic biosafety without obvious reoccurrence. Moreover, stimuli-responsive MR enhancement potentially allows imaging-guided precision PTT. With their excellent biocompatibility, mild synthesis conditions and relatively simple composition, Bio-MnO2 NPs hold great translational promise.

Abstract
Manganese oxide-coated sand can oxidize electron-rich organic contaminants, but after extended exposure to contaminated water its reactivity decreases. To assess the potential for regenerating geomedia, we measured the ability of passivated manganese-oxide coated sand to oxidize bisphenol A after treatment with oxidants, acid, or methanol. Among the regenerants studied, KMnO4, HOCl, HOBr, and pH 2 or 3 HCl solutions raised the average oxidation state of the Mn, but only HOCl and HOBr restored the reactivity of passivated geomedia to levels comparable to those of the virgin manganese-oxide coated sand. Treatment with HCl restored about one third of the reactivity of the material, likely due to dissolution of reduced Mn. Mn K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy data indicated that the reactive manganese oxide phases present in virgin geomedia and geomedia regenerated with HOCl or HOBr had nanocrystalline cryptomelane-like structures and diminished Mn(III) abundance relative to the passivated geomedia. KMnO4-regenerated geomedia also had less Mn(III), but it exhibited less reactivity with bisphenol A because regeneration produced a structure with characteristics of δ-MnO2. The results imply that manganese oxide reactivity depends on both oxidation state and crystal structure; the most effective chemical regenerants oxidize Mn(III) to Mn(IV) oxides exhibiting nanocrystalline, cryptomelane-like forms.

Abstract
In this study, visible light (VL) was adopted for permanganate (PM) activation without additional catalyst, where sulfamethazine (SMT) was selected as the probe compound. Experiment results showed that the VL/PM system can effectively degrade SMT through pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. Influencing factors including PM dosage, solution pH, humid acid (HA) and coexisting anions (CO32-, SO42-, Cl- and NO3-) which affect SMT photo-degradation were also examined. Pyrophosphate (PP) had an inhibitory effect on SMT degradation due to the complexation of PP with Mn (III). Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry and UV-Vis spectrophotometer proved that VL can activate PM to generate ·O2- and Mn (III) reactive species. Furthermore, based on the active site prediction, intermediates identification and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation, two main degradation pathways involving SMT molecular rearrangement and cleavage of S-N bond were proposed. Moreover, the energy barriers of the two degradation pathways were also calculated. This study offers a novel approach for aqueous SMT removal and deepens our understanding of the degradation mechanism of SMT through DFT calculation, which hopes to shed light on the future development of VL/PM treatment.

Abstract
Lead is a toxic environmental contaminant associated with current and historic mine sites. Here we studied the natural attenuation of Pb in a limestone cave system that receives drainage from the ancient Priddy Mineries, UK. Extensive deposits of manganese oxides were observed to be forming on the cave walls and as coatings in the stream beds. Analysis of these deposits identified them as birnessite (δ-MnO2), with some extremely high concentrations of sorbed Pb (up to 56 wt%) also present. We hypothesised that these cave crusts were actively being formed by microbial Mn(II)-oxidation, and to investigate this the microbial communities were characterised by DNA sequencing, enrichment and isolation experiments. The birnessite deposits contained abundant and diverse prokaryotes and fungi, with ~5% of prokaryotes and ~ 10% of fungi closely related to known heterotrophic Mn(II)-oxidisers. A substantial proportion (up to 17%) of prokaryote sequences were assigned to groups known as autotrophic ammonia and nitrite oxidisers, suggesting that nitrogen cycling may play an important role in contributing energy and carbon to the cave crust microbial communities and consequently the formation of Mn(IV) oxides and Pb attenuation. Enrichment and isolation experiments showed that the birnessite deposits contained Mn(II)-oxidising microorganisms, and two isolates (Streptomyces sp. and Phyllobacterium sp.) could oxidise Mn(II) in the presence of 0.1 mM Pb. Supplying the enrichment cultures with acetate as a source of energy and carbon stimulated Mn(II)-oxidation, but excess organics in the form of glucose generated aqueous Mn(II), likely via microbial Mn(IV)-reduction. In this karst cave, microbial Mn(II)-oxidation contributes to the active sequestration and natural attenuation of Pb from contaminated waters, and therefore may be considered a natural analogue for the design of wastewater remediation systems and for understanding the geochemical controls on karst groundwater quality, a resource relied upon by billions of people across the globe.

Abstract
A biotemplated cation-incoporating method based on bacterial cell-surface display technology and biogenic Mn oxide mineralization process was developed to fabricate Mn-based multiphasic composites as anodes for Li-ion batteries. The engineered Pseudomonas putida MB285 cells with surface-immobilized multicopper oxidase serve as nucleation centers in the Mn oxide biomineralization process, and the Mn oxides act as a settler for incorporating Ni ions to form aggregates in this process. The assays using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, phase compositions, and fine structures verified that the resulting material MnO/C/NiO (CMB-Ni) was porous multiphasic composites with spherical and porous nanostructures. The electrochemical properties of materials were improved in the presence of NiO. The reversible discharge capacity of CMB-Ni remained at 352.92 mAh g-1 after 200 cycles at 0.1 A g-1 current density. In particular, the coulombic efficiency was approximately 100% after the second cycle for CMB-Ni.

Abstract
As important natural oxidants and adsorbents, manganese (Mn) oxide minerals affect the speciation, bioavailability and fate of pollutants and nutrient elements. It was found that birnessite-type Mn(IV) oxide minerals can be formed in the presence of NO3- and solar irradiation. However, the photochemical formation and transformation processes from Mn2+ to Mn(IV) oxide minerals remain unclear. In this work, the Mn(IV) oxide minerals were confirmed to be photochemically formed mainly due to the disproportionation of Mn(III) intermediates generated from the oxidation of Mn2+ in the presence of NO3- under UV light irradiation. The oxidation rate of Mn2+ to Mn(IV) oxide minerals decreased with increasing initial Mn2+ concentration due to the lower disproportionation rate. The increase in NO3- concentration, pH and temperature promoted Mn2+ photochemical oxidation. The photochemical formation rate of Mn(IV) oxide minerals increased with increasing ligand concentrations at low ligand concentrations. Ligands affected the formation of Mn(IV) oxide minerals by promoting the formation and reducing the reactivity of Mn(III) intermediates. Overall, this work reveals the important role of Mn(III) intermediates in the formation of natural Mn oxide minerals.

Highly enhanced oxidation of arsenite at the surface of birnessite in the presence of pyrophosphate and the underlying reaction mechanisms. WATER RESEARCH 2020; 187:116420. [PMID: 32977187 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2020.116420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2020] [Revised: 09/07/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Manganese(IV) oxides, and more especially birnessite, rank among the most efficient metal oxides for As(III) oxidation and subsequent sorption, and thus for arsenic immobilization. Efficiency is limited however by the precipitation of low valence Mn (hydr)oxides at the birnessite surface that leads to its passivation. The present work investigates experimentally the influence of chelating agents on this oxidative process. Specifically, the influence of sodium pyrophosphate (PP), an efficient Mn(III) chelating agent, on As(III) oxidation by birnessite was investigated using batch experiments and different arsenic concentrations at circum-neutral pH. In the absence of PP, Mn(II/III) species are continuously generated during As(III) oxidation and adsorbed to the mineral surface. Field emission-scanning electron microscopy, synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicate that manganite is formed, passivating birnessite surface and thus hampering the oxidative process. In the presence of PP, generated Mn(II/III) species form soluble complexes, thus inhibiting surface passivation and promoting As(III) conversion to As(V) with PP. Enhancement of As(III) oxidation by Mn oxides strongly depends on the affinity of the chelating agent for Mn(III) and from the induced stability of Mn(III) complexes. Compared to PP, the positive influence of oxalate, for example, on the oxidative process is more limited. The present study thus provides new insights into the possible optimization of arsenic removal from water using Mn oxides, and on the possible environmental control of arsenic contamination by these ubiquitous nontoxic mineral species.

Abstract
Diclofenac (DCF), a widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, reacted readily with birnessite under mild conditions, and the pseudo first order kinetic constants achieved 8.84 × 10-2 hr-1. Five products of DCF including an iminoquinone product (2,5-iminoquinone-diclofenac) and four dimer products were observed and identified by tandem mass spectrometry during the reaction. Meanwhile, 2,5-iminoquinone-diclofenac was identified to be the major product, accounting for 83.09% of the transformed DCF. According to the results of spectroscopic Mn(III) trapping experiments and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Mn(IV) contained in birnessite solid was consumed and mainly converted into Mn(III) during reaction process, which proved that the removal of DCF by birnessite was through oxidation. Based on the identified products of DCF and the changes of Mn valence state in birnessite solid, a tentative transformation pathway of DCF was proposed.

Abstract
Dissolved Mn(III) species have been recognized as a significant form of Mn in redox transition environments, but a holistic understanding of their geochemical properties still lacks the characterization of their reactivity as reductants. Through using PbO2 as a surrogate oxidant and pyrophosphate (PP) as a model ligand, we evaluated the thermodynamic and kinetic constrains of dissolved Mn(III) oxidation under environmentally relevant pH. Without disproportionation, Mn(III) complexes could be directly oxidized by PbO2 to produce Mn oxides. The reaction rates decreased with increasing PP:Mn(III) ratio and became negligible when the ratio was above a threshold value. Particulate manganite could also be oxidized by PbO2 with detectable production of Pb(II). The favorability of Mn(III) oxidation by PbO2 as a function of the PP:Mn ratio could be predicted by the stability constant of the Mn(III)-PP complex. We developed kinetic models that couple multiple pathways of Mn oxidation by PbO2 to simulate the dynamics of Pb release, loss of dissolved Mn, as well as Mn(III) production and consumption. Beyond the context of Mn geochemistry, the interactions between Pb and various Mn species, including its trivalent forms, may also have important implications to the water quality in lead service lines within distribution systems.

Abstract
Iron electrocoagulation (EC) can be used for the decentralized treatment of arsenic(As)-contaminated groundwater. Iron EC involves the electrolytic dissolution of an Fe(0) electrode to Fe(II). This process produces reactive oxidants, which oxidize As(III) and Fe(II) to As(V) and a range of Fe(III) (oxyhydr)oxide phases. Here, we investigated the impact of manganese (Mn) on As removal, since the two often co-occur in groundwater. In the absence of Mn(II), we observed rapid As(III) oxidation and the formation of As(V)-Fe(III) polymers. Arsenic removal was achieved upon aggregation of the As(V)-Fe(III) polymers. In the presence of Mn, the mechanism of As removal varied with pH. At pH 4.5, As(III) was oxidized rapidly by OH• and the aggregation of the resulting As(V)-Fe(III) polymers was enhanced by the presence of Mn. At pH 8.5, As(III) and Mn(II) competed for Fe(IV), which led As(III) to persist in solution. The As(V) that did form was incorporated into a mixture of As(V)-Fe(III) polymers and a ferrihydrite-like phase that incorporated 8% Mn(III); some As(III) was also sorbed by these phases. At intermediate pH values, As(III) and Mn(II) also competed for the oxidants, but Mn(III) behaved as a reactive intermediate that reacted with Fe(II) or As(III). This result can explain the presence of As(V) in the solid phase. This detailed understanding of the As removal mechanisms in the presence of Mn can be used to tune the operating conditions of Fe EC for As removal under typical groundwater conditions.

WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2020; 92:604-611. [PMID: 31602733 DOI: 10.1002/wer.1256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2019] [Revised: 09/26/2019] [Accepted: 10/07/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Activating permanganate with reductants has gained increasing attention recently for efficient organic contaminants abatement via reactive intermediate Mn species. However, few studies have been conducted to explore the role of pyrophosphate (PP), a typical complexing agent for intermediate Mn species, in activated permanganate systems. In this study, taking sulfamethoxazole (SMX) as a probe compound, the influences of PP on SMX degradation by permanganate/thiosulfate and permanganate/hydroxylamine were extensively studied. It was found that both thiosulfate and hydroxylamine were able to activate permanganate for oxidation of SMX in the absence of PP. However, upon the introduction of PP, opposite effects were observed in the two systems where PP further improved the activation of permanganate by thiosulfate but dampened the performance of permanganate/hydroxylamine markedly. For permanganate/hydroxylamine system, MnO2 was determined to be the only reactive oxidative species accounting for SMX degradation in the absence of PP, and its generation could be completely inhibited by PP. While in permanganate/thiosulfate system, both Mn(V) and MnO2 were responsible for SMX oxidation, and the introduction of PP could strengthen the oxidative ability of Mn(V). These results could shed some insights on the suitability of applying PP to explore the kinetics and mechanisms of manganese involved redox reactions. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Both Na2 S2 O3 and NH2 OH·HCl can activate KMnO4 for SMX removal without PP. MnO2 is the reactive oxidative species involved in KMnO4 /NH2 OH·HCl system. Mn(V) and MnO2 account for the SMX oxidation by KMnO4 /Na2 S2 O3 system. PP could inhibit the formation of MnO2 but enhance the oxidative ability of Mn(V).

Abstract
Ligands can significantly increase the oxidation rates of phenolic compounds by MnO4-. This was often explained by the in situ formed Mn(III)- or Mn(X)-ligand complexes that can oxidize phenols faster than MnO4- can. This work discovered that Mn(III)-ligand complexes also acted as a catalyst for the oxidation of phenolic compounds by MnO4- (i.e., the catalytic role of Mn(III)-ligand). First, when phenol was mixed with MnO4- and pyrophosphate (PP, a representative ligand), Mn(III)-PP was found to form while phenol was quickly oxidized. However, the amount of phenol that was directly oxidized by Mn(III)-PP only accounted for ∼25% of phenol that was oxidized in the mixture, indicating that there were other pathways. Then, when pentachlorophenol (PCP) was used as another phenolic probe, the externally prepared Mn(III)-PP was observed to only slightly oxidize PCP, but its addition significantly accelerated PCP oxidation by MnO4-. The Mn(III)-PP concentration also remained unchanged during the above reaction, thus suggesting the catalyst role of Mn(III)-PP. This new pathway was further validated by successfully explaining all the experimental observations obtained so far, including the effect of pH, effects of different ligand amounts and types, product patterns, and the induction period. Finally, possible catalytic mechanisms of Mn(III)-ligand were discussed based on the experimental results.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), are of increasing concerns for many years. This paper presents the elimination of BPA under visible light (VL) (λ ≥ 420 nm) irradiated solutions containing fulvic acid (FA) and MnSO4 (Mn(II)), and examines the possible effects of TBBPA on the transformation of BPA. After 72 h of reaction time, the removal efficiency of BPA in the studied system was 69%. Results of different experiments to identify oxidative species suggested the dominate role of soluble manganese (III) (Mn(III)) in the conversion of BPA. The transformation of BPA by the VL/FA/Mn(II) system was through self-oligomerization in absence of co-existence of TBBPA. In the co-existence of BPA with TBBPA, the removal of BPA was largely inhibited due to the competition with available Mn(III) and the possible occurrence of cross-coupling reactions between the two EDCs. This phenomenon was further elucidated by product analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The energy difference (ΔE) for generating a cross-coupling product was calculated as -23.4 kJ mol-1, much lower than the positive values of ΔE for self-coupling products of BPA or TBBPA, demonstrating that cross-coupling reactions between BPA and TBBPA likely occurred easier than the respective self-coupling reactions. The toxicity test showed that the overall estrogenic activity of BPA reaction solution was significantly decreased by the VL/FA/Mn(II) system. In general, our study provided new insights into the transformation of co-existing EDCs by in situ formed Mn(III) in aqueous solution.
