Effect and mechanism of simultaneous cadmium-tetracycline removal by a self-assembled microbial-photocatalytic coupling system. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 449:131018. [PMID: 36812732 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Electrochemical bacteria Shewanella oneidensis MR-4 (MR-4) was used to biologically generate cadmium sulfide (bio-CdS) nanocrystals and construct a self-assembled intimately coupled photocatalysis-biodegradation system (SA-ICPB) to remove cadmium (Cd) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) from wastewater. The characterization using EDS, TEM, XRD, XPS, and UV-vis confirmed the successful CdS bio-synthesis and its visible-light response capacity (520 nm). 98.4% of Cd2+ (2 mM) was removed during bio-CdS generation within 30 min. The electrochemical analysis confirmed the photoelectric response capability of the bio-CdS as well as its photocatalytic efficiency. Under visible light, SA-ICPB entirely eliminated TCH (30 mg/L). In 2 h, 87.2% and 43.0% of TCH were removed separately with and without oxygen. 55.7% more chemical oxygen demand (COD) was removed with oxygen participation, indicating the degradation intermediates elimination by SA-ICPB required oxygen participation. Biodegradation dominated the process under aerobic circumstances. Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis indicated that h+ and ·O2- played a decisive role in photocatalytic degradation. Mass spectrometry analysis proved that TCH was dehydrated, dealkylated, and ring-opened before mineralizing. In conclusion, MR-4 can spontaneously generate SA-ICPB and rapidly-deeply eliminate antibiotics by coupling photocatalytic and microbial degradation. Such an approach was efficient for the deep degradation of persistent organic pollutants with antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
By simulating natural photosynthesis, the desirable high-value chemical products and clean fuels can be sustainably generated with solar energy. Whole-cell-based photosensitized biohybrid system, which innovatively couples the excellent light-harvesting capacity of semiconductor materials with the efficient catalytic ability of intracellular biocatalysts, is an appealing interdisciplinary creature to realize photodriven chemical synthesis. In this review, we summarize the constructed whole-cell-based biohybrid systems in different application fields, including carbon dioxide fixation, nitrogen fixation, hydrogen production, and other chemical synthesis. Moreover, we elaborate the charge transfer mechanism studies of representative biohybrids, which can help to deepen the current understanding of the synergistic process between photosensitizers and microorganisms, and provide schemes for building novel biohybrids with less electron transfer resistance, advanced productive efficiency, and functional diversity. Further exploration in this field has the prospect of making a breakthrough on the biotic-abiotic interface that will provide opportunities for multidisciplinary research.

Abstract
The microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has attracted significant attention in the last years due to its potential to recover energy in a wastewater treatment. The idea of using an MFC in industry is very attractive as the organic wastes can be converted into energy, reducing the waste disposal costs and the energy needs while increasing the company profit. However, taking aside these promising prospects, the attempts to apply MFCs in large-scale have not been succeeded so far since their lower performance and high costs remains challenging. This review intends to present the main applications of the MFC systems and its developments, particularly the advances on configuration and operating conditions. The diagnostic techniques used to evaluate the MFC performance as well as the different modeling approaches are described. Towards the introduction of the MFC in the market, a cost analysis is also included. The development of low-cost materials and more efficient systems, with high higher power outputs and durability, are crucial towards the application of MFCs in industrial/large scale. This work is a helpful tool for discovering new operation and design regimes.
