Ahmed SF, Mofijur M, Nuzhat S, Chowdhury AT, Rafa N, Uddin MA, Inayat A, Mahlia TMI, Ong HC, Chia WY, Show PL. Recent developments in physical, biological, chemical, and hybrid treatment techniques for removing emerging contaminants from wastewater. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 416:125912. [PMID: 34492846 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 174] [Impact Index Per Article: 58.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2021] [Revised: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Emerging contaminants (ECs) in wastewater have recently attracted the attention of researchers as they pose significant risks to human health and wildlife. This paper presents the state-of-art technologies used to remove ECs from wastewater through a comprehensive review. It also highlights the challenges faced by existing EC removal technologies in wastewater treatment plants and provides future research directions. Many treatment technologies like biological, chemical, and physical approaches have been advanced for removing various ECs. However, currently, no individual technology can effectively remove ECs, whereas hybrid systems have often been found to be more efficient. A hybrid technique of ozonation accompanied by activated carbon was found significantly effective in removing some ECs, particularly pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Despite the lack of extensive research, nanotechnology may be a promising approach as nanomaterial incorporated technologies have shown potential in removing different contaminants from wastewater. Nevertheless, most existing technologies are highly energy and resource-intensive as well as costly to maintain and operate. Besides, most proposed advanced treatment technologies are yet to be evaluated for large-scale practicality. Complemented with techno-economic feasibility studies of the treatment techniques, comprehensive research and development are therefore necessary to achieve a full and effective removal of ECs by wastewater treatment plants.

Gujar SK, Gogate PR. Application of hybrid oxidative processes based on cavitation for the treatment of commercial dye industry effluents. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2021; 75:105586. [PMID: 34004457 PMCID: PMC8141528 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2021.105586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Revised: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/05/2021] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
The present work demonstrates the significant role of ultrasound (US) in intensifying the efficacy of the combination with Fenton reagent and/or ozone for the treatment of real dye industry industrial effluent procured from the local industry. Initial part of the work focused on analysing the literature based on combination approaches of US with different oxidants applied for the treatment of real and simulated effluents focusing on the dyes. The work also provides guidelines for the selection of optimal operating parameters for maximizing the intensification of the degradation. The second part of the work presents an experimental study into combined approaches of ultrasound with ozone (O3) and Fenton's reagent for treatment of real effluent. Under optimized conditions (100 W, 20 kHz and duty cycle of 70%), maximum COD reductions of 94.79% and 51% were observed using a combined approach of US + Fenton oxidation followed by lime treatment for the treatment of effluent-I and effluent-II respectively at H2O2 loading of 17.5 g/L, H2O2/Fe2+ ratio of 3, pH of 4, CaO dose of 1 g/L and an overall treatment time of 70 min. US + Fenton + O3 followed by lime was also applied for treatment under ozone loading of 1 g/h for the treatment of effluent-I and it was found that maximum COD reduction of 95.12% was obtained within 30 min of treatment time, indicating use of ozone did not result in significant value addition in terms of COD reduction but resulted in faster treatment. HC (inlet pressure: 4 bar) + Fenton + Lime scheme was successfully replicated on a pilot-scale resulting in maximum COD reduction of 57.65% within 70 min of treatment time. Overall, it has been concluded that the hybrid oxidative processes as US + Fenton followed by lime treatment is established as the best approach ensuring effective COD reduction at the same time obtaining final colourless/reusable effluent.

Abstract
The photo-Fenton oxidation process was employed to degrade methylene blue (MB) using a hydroxide sludge/hydrochar-Fe composite as a catalyst prepared by physical activation of raw hydroxide sludge from a drinking water treatment plant and hydrochar-Fe prepared by hydrothermal carbonization from two-phase olive mill waste. The prepared composite was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, ICP, and FT-IR. The effect of major parameters, including pH, H2O2 concentration, and a dose of composite on the removal of MB has been studied. The results indicated that the MB decolorization rate increased with the increase of H2O2 concentration and catalyst addition; however, further increase in H2O2 concentration and catalyst dosage could not result in an increase of MB removal efficiency. A high degradation of 95% was achieved within 150 min under UV light irradiation at natural pH (pH = 5), a catalyst loading of 2.5 g/L, a H2O2 dosage of 14.68 mol/L, and MB concentration of 50 mg/L. Recycling studies show a MB decolorization of 92% after three cycles and the use of the composite for the degradation of another dye (methyl orange) shows a degradation of 99%, demonstrating that this composite is a promising heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst for long-term removal of dyes from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in cell signaling and tissue homeostasis, in which the level of ROS is critical through the equilibrium between ROS generating and eliminating events. A disruption of the balance leads to disease development either by a surplus or a dearth of ROS, which requires ROS-modulating strategies to overturn the defect for disease treatment. Over the past decade, there have been tremendous advances in nanomedicine centering ROS generation and/or elimination as major mechanisms to treat a variety of diseases. In this review, we will discuss the research achievements on two opposite approaches of ROS-generating and ROS-eliminating strategies for treating cancer and other related diseases. Importantly, we will highlight the conceptual and strategic advances of ROS-mediated immunomodulation, including macrophage polarization, immunogenic cell death and T cell activation, which are currently rising as one of the mainstreams of cancer therapy. At the end, the future challenges and opportunities of mediating ROS-based mechanisms are envisioned. In light of the pleiotropic roles of ROS in different diseases, we hope this review is timely to deliver a clear logic of designing principles on ROS generation and elimination for different disease treatments.

Abstract
Animal wastewater is one of the wastewaters that has a color and is difficult to treat because it contains a large amount of non-degradable organic materials. The photo-assisted Fenton oxidation technique was applied to treat animal wastewater, and the optimal conditions of chemical oxygen demands (COD) removal were analyzed according to changes in pH, ferrous ion, H2O2, and ultraviolet (UV) light intensity as a single experimental condition. Experimental results showed that, under the single-factor experimental conditions, the optimal conditions for degradation of animal wastewater were pH 3.5, Fe(II) 0.01 M, H2O2 0.1 M, light intensity 3.524 mW/m2. Under the optimal conditions, COD removal efficiency was 91%, sludge production was 2.5 mL from 100 mL of solution, color removal efficiency was 80%, and coliform removal efficiency was 99.5%.

Abstract
In this work, the efficiencies of Fenton catalytic and sonolysis processes were investigated separately and in combination together for the treatment and reduction of sludge volume. Moreover, the effects of operating parameters such as retention time, initial pH, iron concentration, and H2O2 concentration on COD reduction as well as the proportion of volatile solids to total solids (VS/TS) were studied. Finally, the effects of these processes on the sludge volume index (SVI) and sludge volume reduction (SVR) were evaluated. According to the results, the retention time of 60 min, pH = 3, hydrogen peroxide concentration of 0.13 M/L, and iron concentration of 2 mM/L were achieved as the optimum values. Furthermore, the SVR and SVI removal efficiencies in the Fenton process were 19% and 25%, respectively, but the removal efficiency in sonolysis process was very low and can be ignored. Under optimum conditions in sono-Fenton (SF) process, the SVR and SVI removal efficiencies were 55.7% and 83%, respectively. The results showed that by combining sonolysis and Fenton processes; due to the synergistic effect of ultrasonic waves, Fenton agent, and the production of more hydroxyl radicals; the COD removal efficiency increased to 77%, and the proportion of VS/TS in row activated sludge was reduced from 75% to 26%. Generally, by combining sonolysis and Fenton processes, the removal efficiency increased significantly as compared to separate processes owing to the production of more oxidizing agents and improving mass transfer.
