Amiri H, Martinez SS, Shiri MA, Soori MM. Advanced oxidation processes for phthalate esters removal in aqueous solution: a systematic review. REVIEWS ON ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH 2023; 38:197-218. [PMID: 37261847 DOI: 10.1515/reveh-2021-0147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
This study addresses a systematic review of the scientific literature to evaluate the most common advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for the removal of phthalate esters (PE) in aqueous matrices. Six AOP were reviewed for PE degradation such as processes based on photolysis, Fenton, ozonation and sulfate radicals ( SO 4 • - ), combined AOP and other processes. The PE degradation efficiencies by AOP processes ranged from 40.3 to 100%. In the reviewed literature, an initial PE concentration within 0.04-250 mg/L was applied. The H2O2 concentrations used in the UV/H2O2 process and O3 concentrations in ozonation-based processes ranged between 0.85-1,360.6 mg/L and 2-4,971 mg/L, respectively. Based on the reported results, the PE oxidation data fit well to the pseudo-first order kinetic model. A review of the studies revealed that many oxidant species are produced in the AOP, including hydroxyl radicals (•OH), SO 4 • - , superoxide radical anions ( O 2 - • ), hydroperoxyl radicals (HO2 •), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and singlet oxygen (O2). Among these oxidants, •OH play a key role in the degradation of PE. However, SO 4 • - are more effective and efficient than •OH since SO 4 • - has a higher oxidation power (E = 2.5-3.1 V) compared to •OH radicals (E = 1.8-2.7 V). In different AOP processes, the aromatic rings of PE are destroyed by •OH and produce intermediates such as phthalic acid (C6H4(CO2H)2), benzoic acid ethyl ester (C9H10O2), 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (C7H6O4), formic acid (CH2O2), acetic acid (CH3COOH), and oxalic acid (C2H2O4), among some others. Until now, limited data have been reported on PE toxicity assessment. The reviewed literature has shown that AOP can be used effectively to degrade PE from aqueous matrices. However, this systematic study suggests focusing more on the evaluation of the toxicity of the effluent resulting from AOP for the decomposition of PE in future studies.

Heterogeneous Catalytic Ozonation: Solution pH and Initial Concentration of Pollutants as Two Important Factors for the Removal of Micropollutants from Water. SEPARATIONS 2022.

Abstract
There are several publications on heterogeneous catalytic ozonation; however, their conclusions and the comparisons between them are not always consistent due to the variety of applied experimental conditions and the different solid materials used as catalysts. This review attempts to limit the major influencing factors in order to reach more vigorous conclusions. Particularly, it highlights two specific factors/parameters as the most important for the evaluation and comparison of heterogeneous catalytic ozonation processes, i.e., (1) the pH value of the solution and (2) the initial concentration of the (micro-)pollutants. Based on these, the role of Point of Zero Charge (PZC), which concerns the respective solid materials/catalysts in the decomposition of ozone towards the production of oxidative radicals, is highlighted. The discussed observations indicate that for the pH range 6–8 and when the initial organic pollutants’ concentrations are around 1 mg/L (or even lower, i.e., micropollutant), then heterogeneous catalytic ozonation follows a radical mechanism, whereas the applied solid materials show their highest catalytic activity under their neutral charge. Furthermore, carbons are considered as a rather controversial group of catalysts for this process due to their possible instability under intense ozone oxidizing conditions.

Abstract
Ozonation process is a promising yet challenging method for the removal of refractory organic matter due to the sluggish reaction for generating hydroxyl radical (˙OH) at a neutral pH condition. Herein, an efficient heterogeneous catalytic ozonation system using CeO2/Al2O3 catalyst was developed to remove dimethyl phthalate (DMP) from wastewater. Under a neutral condition of pH = 6, this system achieved almost 100% DMP removal within 15 min at an optimized catalyst dosage of 30 g L−1 and the ozone flow rate of 22.5 mg min−1. Moreover, the catalytic ozonation system exhibited a stable degradation performance of DMP in a wider pH range (pH = 5–10). The results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quantitative tests confirmed the ultrafast conversion of O3 to ˙OH (0.774 μM min−1) on the surface of CeO2 based ceramic catalyst. The quenching experiments further supported the predominant role of ˙OH in the mineralization of DMP. These results highlight the potential of using the heterogeneous catalytic ozonation system for the efficient removal of refractory organic matter from wastewater. An efficient heterogeneous catalytic ozonation system using CeO2/Al2O3 catalyst was developed to remove dimethyl phthalate (DMP) from wastewater.![]()

Abstract
In the present study, ozone was applied for the removal of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) from soil. The effect of several experimental parameters was investigated considering, the initial DMP concentration, ozone flow, the type of soil (sand and agricultural soil) and the presence of α-FeOOH as a potential catalyst in the reaction system with sand. The elimination of DMP using ozone is significantly affected by the type of soil. In the case of sand, conventional ozonation was capable to degrade 74% of the initial DMP concentration (0.5 mg g-1) after 8 h of the reaction, however, the mineralization degree was below 50%. Under the same experimental conditions, the complete elimination of DMP was achieved when calcined agricultural soil was present reaching a 70% of mineralization. The presence of metal oxides in calcined agricultural soil combined with ozone produced oxidants species which were responsible of incrementing the mineralization degree (around 20% in comparison with the sand). The toxicity tests on lettuce seed demonstrated lower toxicity of DMP byproducts after ozonation. The DMP high removal efficiencies and the lower toxicity of generated byproducts in soil prove the applicability of ozone treatment for soil remediation.

Abstract
The catalytic activity of Mn2O3, FeOOH and CeO2 nanoparticles was evaluated in the treatment of a synthetic petroleum refinery wastewater (SPRW) using O3 in a discontinuous reactor at 25°C and pH 5.5. The mineralization and partial chemical oxidation rates of SPRW using these metal oxides are in the same order of magnitude, and the catalytic activity in the mineralization of SPRW decreased in the order Mn2O3 > CeO2 > FeOOH. The mineralized fraction progressively increased with time in the catalytic process while in the non-catalytic process it remained constant. The effect of the operational conditions on the mineralization and partial chemical oxidation rates using Mn2O3 was investigated in detail. The mineralization rate was found to be lower than the partial oxidation rate due to the formation of partially oxidized by-products, and this is dependent on the solids dosage and pH. An investigation of the mechanism demonstrated that the enhancement effect could be attributed to the introduction of the manganese oxide nanoparticles, which could promote the utilization of O3 and/or enhance the formation of free radicals (•OH, •O2H and •O2-) on the solid surface and further accelerate the degradation of the organic compounds present in the wastewater.

Abstract
Catalytic ozonation is believed to belong to advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Over the past decades, heterogeneous catalytic ozonation has received remarkable attention as an effective process for the degradation of refractory organics in wastewater, which can overcome some disadvantages of ozonation alone. Metal oxides, metals, and metal oxides supported on oxides, minerals modified with metals, and carbon materials are widely used as catalysts in heterogeneous catalytic ozonation processes due to their excellent catalytic ability. An understanding of the application can provide theoretical support for selecting suitable catalysts aimed at different kinds of wastewater to obtain higher pollutant removal efficiency. Therefore, the main objective of this review article is to provide a summary of the accomplishments concerning catalytic ozonation to point to the major directions for choosing the catalysts in catalytic ozonation in the future.

Abstract
In this study, the performance of graphene oxide (GO) in ozonation process was kinetically evaluated using the modified Rct concept since GO may act as initiator, promoter and inhibitor in ozone radical chain reaction. The applicability of the modified Rct concept was demonstrated using different GO suspensions (GO alone, GO/TiO2, GO/Fe3O4, GO/TiO2/Fe3O4) in ozonation process. Results showed that ozone exposure and •OH exposure were found to be higher for GO/Fe3O4 and GO/TiO2/Fe3O4 compared to other GO suspensions, which was almost equivalent to O3/H2O2 process. The determined initiation and inhibition rate constants of GO alone, were 1 fold higher than GO/Fe3O4 and GO/TiO2/Fe3O4, since the GO alone suspension possesses higher O3 decomposition but lower organic degradation because that GO does not yield •OH. Moreover, GO/Fe3O4 suspension, along with natural organic matter (NOM), was proven to be helpful in degrading ibuprofen in ozonation process, but the effect was minimal when compared to O3/H2O2 process. These results exhibited that the surface modified GO suspensions could be utilized as future alternative AOPs.

Abstract
The ZVI/H2O2 process was applied for cosmetic wastewater treatment. Two commercial zero-valent iron (ZVI) types with different granulations were chosen: Hepure Ferrox PRB and Hepure Ferrox Target. In addition, the pH and stirring method influence on ZVI/H2O2 process efficiency was studied. During the ZVI and ZVI/H2O2 processes, linear Fe ions concentration increase was observed. The addition of H2O2 significantly accelerated the iron dissolution process. The highest COD removal was obtained using finer ZVI (Hepure Ferrox Target) for doses of reagents ZVI/H2O2 1500/1600 mg/L, in a H2O2/COD weight ratio 2:1, at pH 3.0 with stirring on a magnetic stirrer. After 120 min of the process, 84.0% COD removal (from 796 to 127 mg/L) was achieved. It was found that the efficiency of the process depends, as in the case of the Fenton process, on the ratio of the reagents (ZVI/H2O2) and their dose in relation to the COD (H2O2/COD) but does not depend on the dose of the iron itself. Statistical analysis confirms that COD removal efficiency depends primarily on H2O2/COD ratio and ZVI granulation, but ZVI dose influence is not statistically significant. The head space, solid-phase microextraction, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry results confirm high efficiency of the ZVI/H2O2 process.
