Abstract
Fluidized Bed Fenton (FBF) technology, a fusion of the Fenton method and fluidized bed reactor, has emerged as a superior alternative to conventional Fenton technology for treating organic industrial wastewater. This innovative approach has garnered significant attention from researchers in recent years. While earlier studies primarily focused on pollutant degradation in simulated wastewater and catalyst development, there has been a growing interest in examining the alterations in mass or heat transfer performance attributed to fluidized beds. This paper explores the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of Fluidized Bed Fenton technology in efficiently degrading various challenging organic pollutants, while also reducing iron sludge production and expanding the applicable pH range, through an analysis of reaction kinetics. Meanwhile, combined with the related work of fluid dynamics, the research related to mass and heat transfer inside the reactor of Fluidized Bed Fenton technology is summarized, and it is proposed that the use of computers to establish a suitable model of Fluidized Bed Fenton and solve it with the assistance of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and other software will help to further explore the process of mass and heat transfer inside the fluidized bed, which will provide the basis for the future of the Fluidized Bed Fenton from the laboratory to the actual industrial application.

Abstract
We designed a photocatalyst and developed sustainable wastewater purification technology, which have significant advantages in effectively solving the global problem of drinking water shortage. In this study, a new nanocomposite was reported and shown to be a catalyst with excellent performance; CuO was coated successively onto functionalized nano γ-Al2O3, and this novel structure could provide abundant active sites. We evaluated the performance of the CuO@γ-Al2O3 nanocomposite catalyst for polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) degradation under visible light irradiation. Under optimized conditions (calcination temperature, 450 °C; mass ratio of γ-Al2O3:Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, 1:15; pH value, 7; catalyst dosage, 2.6 g/L; reaction temperature, 20 °C; and H2O2 dosage, 0.2 g/mL), the CuO@γ-Al2O3 nanocomposite catalyst presented an excellent PVA removal rate of 99.21%. After ten consecutive degradation experiments, the catalyst could still maintain a PVA removal rate of 97.58%, thus demonstrating excellent reusability. This study provides an efficient and easy-to-prepare photocatalyst and proposes a mechanism for the synergistic effect of the photocatalytic reaction and the Fenton-like reaction.

Abstract
Paracetamol (PCT), also known as acetaminophen, is a drug used to treat fever and mild to moderate pain. After consumption by animals and humans, it is excreted through the urine to the sewer systems, wastewater treatment plants, and other aquatic/natural environments. It has been detected in trace amounts in effluents of wastewater plant treatments, sewage sludge, hospital wastewaters, surface waters, and drinking water. PCT can cause genetic code damage, oxidative degradation of lipids, and denaturation of protein in cells, and its toxicity has been well-proven in bacteria, algae, macrophytes, protozoan, and fishes. To avoid its harmful health problems over living beings, powerful Fenton and Fenton-based treatments as pre-eminent advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been developed because of the inefficient treatment by conventional treatments. This paper presents a comprehensive and critical review over the application of such Fenton technologies to remove PCT from natural waters, synthetic wastewaters, and real wastewaters. The characteristics and main results obtained using Fenton, photo-Fenton, electro-Fenton, and photoelectro-Fenton are described, making special emphasis in the oxidative action of the generated reactive oxygen species. Hybrid processes based on the coupling with ultrasounds, gamma radiation, photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, zero-valent iron-activated persulfate, adsorption, and microbial fuel cells, are analyzed. Sequential treatments involving the initiation with plasma gliding arc discharge and post-biological process are detailed. Comparative results with other available AOPs are also described and discussed. Finally, 13 aromatic by-products and 9 short-linear aliphatic carboxylic acid detected during the PCT removal by Fenton and Fenton-based processes are reported, with the proposal of three parallel pathways for its initial degradation.

Abstract
Water scarcity and the accumulation of recalcitrance compounds into the environment are the main reasons behind the attraction of researchers to use advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Many AOP systems have been used to treat acetaminophen (ACT) from an aqueous medium, which leads to generating different kinetics, mechanisms, and by-products. In this work, state-of-the-art studies on ACT by-products and their biotoxicity, as well as proposed degradation pathways, have been collected, organized, and summarized. In addition, the Fukui function was used for predicting the most reactive sites in the ACT molecule. The most frequently detected by-products in this review were hydroquinone, 1,4-benzoquinone, 4-aminophenol, acetamide, oxalic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, 1,2,4-trihydroxy benzene, and maleic acid. Both the experimental and prediction tests revealed that N-(3,4-dihydroxy phenyl) acetamide was mutagenic. Meanwhile, N-(2,4-dihydroxy phenyl) acetamide and malonic acid were only found to be mutagenic in the prediction test. The findings of the LC50 (96 h) test revealed that benzaldehyde is the most toxic ACT by-products and hydroquinone, N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)formamide, 4-methylbenzene-1,2-diol, benzoquinone, 4-aminophenol, benzoic acid, 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene, 4-nitrophenol, and 4-aminobenzene-1,2-diol considered harmful. The release of them into the environment without treatment may threaten the ecosystem. The degradation pathway based on the computational method was matched with the majority of ACT proposed pathways and with the most frequent ACT by-products. This study may contribute to enhance the degradation of ACT by AOP systems.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (APP), frequently used as analgesic and antipyretic drug in our life, is potentially toxic to both animals and humans. A novel acetaminophen degrading strain HZA2, was isolated from the activated sludge, and identified as Shinella sp. based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, morphological, physiological, and biochemical characterizations. This strain could degrade 100 mg L-1 acetaminophen completely within 12 h, and it was also a very effective strain for the degradation of high concentration of acetaminophen below 3000 mg L-1 under the optimal condition. The optimal degrading conditions of acetaminophen by HZA2 were pH 7.5 and 32.7 °C by the analysis of response surface methodology. Exogenous carbon source could enhance the biodegradation of acetaminophen. During the process, the intermediate metabolites were identified as 4-aminophenol and hydroquinone via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. The results indicated that strain HZA2 may be a promising bacterium for the bioremediation of acetaminophen pollutions.

Abstract
In this study, acetaminophen (ACT) in aqueous solution was treated with electrooxidation and photo-electrooxidation processes (PEO). An electrochemical cell was used for the treatment of different concentrations of ACT (10, 50 and 80 mg L-1). A 23 factorial design was proposed, and the variables studied were current intensity 0.5 A (45.45 mA cm-2) and 1.0 A (90.91 mA cm-2), electrode configuration (anode:BDD, cathode:Fe or Cu) and presence/absence of UV light; NaCl 0.043 M (2.5 g L-1) was used as supporting electrolyte, the initial pH was 5.5, and the treatment time was 3 h. The aqueous solutions were characterized before and after the treatment using infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), total carbon (TC), and fluorescence spectroscopy. The optimal operating conditions using an initial ACT concentration of 80 mg L-1 were 1.0 A, BDD-Fe configuration and UV light (254 nm). The removal efficiencies were 100% of ACT and 82.75% of TOC after 15 min of treatment. At concentrations of 50 and 10 mg L-1, 77.16% and 50.29% of TOC were removed after 10 and 5 min of treatment, respectively. Finally, the kinetic study showed an increase in the rate constants when the UV light was applied.

Activation of persulfate by swine bone derived biochar: Insight into the specific role of different active sites and the toxicity of acetaminophen degradation pathways. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 807:151059. [PMID: 34678361 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.151059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Recently, persulfate (PS) activation system has grown up as a primary branch of advanced oxidation processes, and biochar has been recognized as a potential nonmetal material in this field. However, few studies have focused on the corresponding relationship between actives sites on biochar and active species in AOPs. To pave this way, similar biochar (obtained from different pyrolysis temperature) with different functional structures were involved. In this study, biochar derived from swine bone (BBC) was applied in PS activation system to degrade acetaminophen (ACT). The results showed that both radical and non-radical pathway worked in the PS/BBCs systems, and the degradation rate (from 0.1042 to 0.4364 min-1) climbed with the increase of pyrolysis temperature (from 700 to 900 °C). To probe into the corresponding relationship between functional structure and active species, the effect of pyrolysis temperature on functional structure was analyzed. It came out that 1) defects could act as active sites for various active species; 2) persistent free radicals could do favor to the generation of 1O2 and O2-; 3) hydroxyapatite in swine bone only served as hard templet for the porous structure. ACT degradation process was measured by Liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer, and Scendesmus obliquus was applied to investigate the toxicity of PS/BBCs system. It illustrated that the existence of SO4- mainly contributed to the generation of high toxic intermediates (such as biphenyl and diphenyl ether) in the PS/BBCs system. Furthermore, the enhancement of adsorption capacity would mitigate the toxicity of PS/BBCs systems to some extent.

Abstract
Cartap is a carbamate insecticide intended to protect crops such as rice, tea, and sugarcane. Cartap in the environment presents a serious threat to non-target organisms through direct exposure or via biomagnification. Electro-assisted Fenton technology taps the potential of Fenton reagents to degrade cartap. Electrochemical reduction of iron accelerates catalyst regeneration. Cartap degradation was first investigated by varying reaction pH, as well as the initial H2O2 and Fe2+ dosage, followed by optimization studies using central composite design. Parametric results indicate the highest cartap removal of 98.10% was achieved at 1.6 pH, 3.0 mM Fe2+, and 40 mM H2O2 at I = 1.0 A and t = 30 min. These results notoriously surpass conventional Fenton that only achieved 53.8% cartap removal under similar conditions. The hybridization of Fenton process through electrochemical regeneration enhances removal and increases degradation kinetic up to a pseudo-first-order rate constant value of 21.30 × 10-4 s-1. Effects of coexisting inorganic salts PO43-, NO3-, and Cl- at 1 mM and 10 mM concentrations were investigated. These results demonstrate that Fenton electrification as process intensification alternative can enhance the performance and competitiveness of conventional Fenton by ensuring higher availability of iron catalyst while minimizing sludge production.

Abstract
Abstract
Dye is a common pollutant present in many chemical industrial waste water. Advanced oxidation processes are widely used for dye degradation. In this study, the degradation of trypan blue dye was examined by Fenton process. Neutralized red mud catalyst was used as a source of ferrous ion for Fenton’s process. The dye degradation performance has been analyzed by using circulating fluidized-bed reactor. The influence of some key parameters such as pH, initial dye concentration, catalyst dosage and hydrogen peroxide concentration on the degradation of dye has been investigated. All the experiments were performed for 90 min. The initial dye concentration was taken as 1.56 × 10−5 and 2.60 × 10−5 mol L−1 and the amount of catalyst was varied from 0.5 to 0.7 gm/L. The hydrogen peroxide was taken in the ratio of 1:20 with the catalyst. The effect of pH was studied in the varying range from 3–5. It was found that the more the acidic pH, more will be the rate of degradation. The increase in pH results in the lower degradation rate. As the amount of catalyst was increased, the degradation rate got increased. The optimized results were obtained at pH 3, catalyst dosage of 0.7 gm/L and dye concentration of 1.56 × 10−5 mol L−1. Subsequently, the reaction kinetics of Fluidized-bed reactor was also studied.

Abstract
Decolorization plays an important part in the industrial production of acetaminophen (APAP) drugs. The impurities generated from the APAP pharmaceutical industry decolorization refining process were primarily separated and purified, and their structures were determined by MS and 1H NMR technology. Then the catalytic effects of three samples of modified powdered activated carbon (PAC) on APAP in heterogeneous solution systems and the adsorption catalysis system were systematically investigated, which indicated that PAC catalyzed the APAP oxidative coupling side reaction and thus increased the impurities in the APAP product. The M-T-RAC (thermal regeneration PAC modified by ammonium sulfate) possessing more acidic surface groups can effectively inhibit this side reaction. Furthermore, according to the different catalytic results of O-T-RAC (thermal regeneration PAC modified by hydrogen peroxide) in solid-liquid catalytic and adsorption catalytic systems, we speculated that the multimer impurities were generated by the oxidative coupling reaction of APAP being oxidized to rated N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone (NAPQI) during decolorization, while free radical polymerization of APAP mainly occurred in the pores of the spent PAC. The pore textural structure and chemical properties of M-T-RAC were further characterized to ensure its feasibility of industrial application. The process of simulating industrial decolorization substantiated the excellent ability of M-T-RAC to inhibit side reactions. This study contributes to the development of green materials for sustainable recycling of activated carbon to reduce pollution and costs, and provides an effective advice for the pharmaceutical process.

Abstract
A novel sol-gel method was employed in this study to efficiently synthesize SnO2 nanoparticles to catalyze the ozonation of acetaminophen (ACT) from aqueous solutions. The influence of various parameters including Sn source, type of capping and alkaline agents, and calcination temperature on the catalytic activity of the SnO2 preparations was investigated. The SnO2 nanoparticles prepared by tin tetrachloride as Sn source, NaOH as gelatin agent, CTAB as capping agent and at calcination temperature of 550 °C (SnNaC-550) exhibited the maximum performance in the catalysis of ACT. The optimized catalyst (SnNaC-550) had spherical-homogeneous and cubic-shaped nanocrystalline particles with 5.5 nm mean particle size and a BET surface area of 81 m2/g, which resulted in 98% degradation and 84% mineralization of 50 mg/L ACT at 20 and 30 min reaction time, respectively when combined with ozonation (COP). Based on the radical scavenger experiments, •OH was the major oxidizing agent involved in the removal of ACT. LC/MS analysis showed that short-chain carboxylic acids were the main intermediates. Furthermore, the SnNaC-550 catalytic activity was preserved after four successive cycles. Collectively, the new method has the potential to efficiently synthesize stable and reusable SnO2 nanoparticles to catalyze the ozonation of ACT from aquatic environments.

Abstract
Aniline is a toxic chemical, and in many industries it is degraded by Fenton processes. In this study, an Fe(II)-nano-Fe3O4@PAC heterogeneous Fenton catalyst (MFC) was prepared with a coprecipitation and impregnation method, which is simple, efficient and cost effective. The results of the magnetic performance tests showed that the MFC has typical ferromagnetism properties. Nano-Fe3O4 was found both on the surface and inside the pores of the powdered activated carbon (PAC). MFC was found to be an efficient catalyst in the Fenton-like process for aniline degradation. The optimal conditions were obtained by the orthogonal experimental method. The results showed that under the optimal conditions (pH = 3.00, temperature = 20°C, concentration of MFC = 1.0 g/L, concentration of H2O2 = 0.27 g/L), the 5 mg/L aniline solution degradation ratio reached 91.2% and the mineralization ratio reached 75.77% in 30 min. In addition, kinetics studies indicated that the aniline degradation process follows a pseudo-first-order kinetics model. No refractory intermediate such as azobenzene, was found during the reaction. The pH value is an important factor in aniline solution degradation. This result indicates that in addition to the surface catalytic reaction, the Fenton reaction also occurs in solution. Fe2+/Fe3+ on the MFC surface and Fe2+/Fe3+ in solution both affect aniline degradation. This catalyst has the advantage of being easily magnetically separated from the aqueous phase. It has useful application prospects in solving organic industrial wastewater pollutions in developing countries because of its cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
Pesticides are one of the main organic pollutants as they are highly toxic and extensively used worldwide. The reclamation of wastewater containing pesticides is of utmost importance. For this purpose, GO-doped metal ferrites (GO-Fe3O4 and GO-CoFe2O4) were prepared and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic techniques. Photocatalytic potentials of catalysts were investigated against acetamiprid’s degradation. A detailed review of the parametric study revealed that efficiency of overall Fenton’s process relies on the combined effects of contributing factors, i.e., pH, initial oxidant concentration, catalyst dose, contact time, and acetamiprid load. ~97 and ~90% degradation of the acetamiprid was achieved by GO-CoFe2O4 and GO-Fe3O4, respectively during the first hour under UV radiations at optimized reaction conditions. At optimized conditions (i.e., pH:3, [H2O2]: 14.5 mM (for Fe3O4, GO-Fe3O4, and GO-CoFe2O4) and 21.75 mM (for CoFe2O4), catalysts: 100 mgL−1, time: 60min) the catalysts exhibited excellent performance, with high degradation rate, magnetic power, easy recovery at the end, and efficient reusability (up to 5 cycles without any considerable loss in catalytic activity). A high magnetic character offers its easy separation from aqueous systems using an external magnet. Moreover, the combined effects of experimental variables were assessed simultaneously and justified using response surface methodology (RSM).

Abstract
The presence of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceutical and personal care products in many aqueous matrices have been reported. One of such matrix is streams of wastewater, including wastewater treatment plants inflows and outflows and wastewater flow by-passing wastewater treatment plants. Their persistence arises from their resistant to breakdown, hence they may remain in the environment over long time, with a potential to cause adverse effects including endocrine disruption, gene toxicity, the imposition of sex organs, antibiotic resistance and many others in some aquatic organisms exposed to arrays of residues of pharmaceutical and personal care products. Among the treatment techniques, advanced oxidation processes have been reported to be a better technique through which these PPCPs can be degraded in the WWTPs. Heterogeneous photocatalysis using various photocatalyst immobilized on solid support such as activated carbon, graphene and carbon nanotubes in AOPs have been shown to be a viable and efficient method of PPCPs degradation. This is because, the performance of most WWTPs is limited since they were not designed to degrade toxic and recalcitrant PPCPs. This review highlight the occurrence, concentration of PPCPs in wastewater and the removal efficiency of heterogeneous photocatalysis of TiO2 immobilized on solid supports.

Abstract
In this work, UVA radiation that is part of solar light is taken as the irradiation source and radicals (HO, SO4- and HO2/O2-) are generated through activation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) and Bismuth catalyst (BiOCl), respectively. The distinguished performance in removing acetaminophen (ACTP), a model pharmaceutical pollutant, by these three radicals was compared for the first time. Effect of pH, halide ions concentration and interfacial mechanism have been investigated in detail. Interestingly, results show that heterogeneous UVA/BiOCl process has higher degradation efficiency than homogeneous UVA/H2O2 and UVA/Na2S2O8 systems whatever the solution's pH. To explain these results, second order reaction rate constant (kradical, ACTP) have been determined with laser flash photolysis (LFP) or radical scavenging experiments. The strongly interfacial-depended HO2/O2- radicals have the lowest second order rate constant with ACTP but highest steady state concentration. BiOCl is much easier activated by UVA, and outstanding ACTP mineralization can be achieved. Combination of BiOCl and Na2S2O8 exhibits synergistic effects rather than antagonism effects with H2O2. This study highlights the relative effective utilization of solar light through interfacial directed BiOCl photocatalysis and its synergistic effects with traditional oxidants.

Abstract
Ultraviolet light emitting diode (UV-LED)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) including UV-LED/chloramine (UV-LED/NH2Cl), UV-LED/hydrogen peroxide (UV-LED/H2O2) and UV-LED/persulfate (UV-LED/PS), were adopted for acetaminophen (AAP) removal. Results showed that AAP could be effectively degraded by the hybrid processes compared to solely using with UV irradiation and oxidants. The AAP degradation in the three UV-LED-based AOPs were in the order of UV-LED/PS > UV-LED/H2O2 > UV-LED/NH2Cl and followed a pseudo-first-order kinetics. The degradation rate constant (kobs) increased with increasing oxidant dosage, whereas overdosing lowered the AAP degradation. The second-order rate constants of HO, SO4-, and Cl with AAP were calculated as 5.15 × 109, 7.66 × 109 and 1.08 × 1010 M-1 s-1, respectively. Under neutral conditions, the contributions of UV-LED, HO, and Cl to AAP degradation were 4.21%, 60.15% and 35.64% in the UV-LED/NH2Cl system, whereas the respective contributions of UV-LED, HO and SO4- to AAP degradation were 2.09%, 22.84% and 75.07% in UV-LED/PS system, respectively. Meanwhile, the corresponding contributions of the involved reactive species were found to be pH-dependence. The natural organic materials (NOM) inhibited the AAP degradation, and the presence of Cl-, HCO3-, and NO3- had different effects on AAP degradation in the three hybrid processes. The AAP degradation was significantly inhibited in the three UV-LED-based AOPs in real water. In addition, the intermediate products were also identified, and possible degradation pathways were proposed in the three UV-LED-based AOPs. The acute toxicity bioassay using bacterium Vibrio fischeri suggested that the UV-LED/PS process was more effective than the UV-LED/H2O2 and UV-LED/NH2Cl processes in reducing the acute toxicity of the reacted AAP solution. Among the three UV-LED-based AOPs, the UV-LED/PS was found to be the most efficient process for AAP degradation.

Abstract
Acetaminophen (ACT) is commonly used as a counter painkiller and nowadays, it is increasingly present in the natural water environment. Although its concentrations are usually at the ppt to ppm levels, ACT can transform into various intermediates depending on the environmental conditions. Due to the complexity of the ACT degradation products and the intermediates, it poses a major challenge for monitoring, detection and to propose adequate treatment technologies. The main objectives of this review study were to assess (i) the occurrences and toxicities, (2) the removal technologies and (3) the transformation pathways and intermediates of ACT in four environmental compartments namely wastewater, surface water, ground water, and soil/sediments. Based on the review, it was observed that the ACT concentrations in wastewater can reach up to several hundreds of ppb. Amongst the different countries, China and the USA showed the highest ACT concentration in wastewater (≤300 μg/L), with a very high detection frequency (81-100%). Concerning surface water, the ACT concentrations were found to be at the ppt level. Some regions in France, Spain, Germany, Korea, USA, and UK comply with the recommended ACT concentration for drinking water (71 ng/L). Notably, ACT can transform and degrade into various metabolites such as aromatic derivatives or organic acids. Some of them (e.g., hydroquinone and benzoquinone) are toxic to human and other life forms. Thus, in water and wastewater treatment plants, tertiary treatment systems such as advanced oxidation, membrane separation, and hybrid processes should be used to remove the toxic metabolites of ACT.

Abstract
The removal of acetaminophen (AAP) in aqueous solution by the UV/chlorine process was evaluated. The effect of chlorine dose, the initial AAP concentration, pH value, and UV intensity on the reaction were also investigated. The degradation mechanism and the ecological risk were further discussed. The results indicated that AAP degradation fitted pseudo-first-order kinetics. Compared with UV alone or dark chlorination, the combination of UV and chlorine significantly accelerated the degradation process. The AAP degradation was positively affected by chlorine dose and UV intensity, while negatively affected by the initial AAP concentration and ammonia nitrogen concentration during the UV/chlorine process. The frontier orbital theory analysis shows that the C5 position in the benzene ring of AAP is likely to be the first site attacked by HO• and Cl• radical to form the products. Twelve intermediates were identified by Q-TOF and GC-MS. The possible degradation pathways were also proposed. Luminescent bacteria experiment and ECOSAR prediction both revealed that acute toxicity of AAP degradation could only be partially reduced. Ecological risks during the UV/chlorine process need to be further evaluated.

Abstract
Diclofenac sodium (DCF) is frequently detected as a non-steroidal pharmaceutical in the aquatic environment. In this study, the degradation of DCF in two heterogeneous systems, pre-magnetization Fe0/H2O2 (Pre-Fe0/H2O2) and Fe0/H2O2 system, was comparably studied. Our findings proved that Pre-Fe0 could significantly improve the degradation and dechlorination of DCF due to the change of Fe0 characteristics after pre-magnetization. Compared with Fe0/H2O2 process, Pre-Fe0/H2O2 process has 2.1-7.0 times higher rate constant for DCF degradation at different H2O2 dosages (0.25-2.0 mM), initial pH (3.0-6.0) and Fe0 dosages (0.25-1.5 mM). The characterizations by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance confirmed that the enhancement attributed to the increase of Fe0 corrosion and fast generation of OH. In addition, preliminary degradation mechanism was elucidated by major products identification using UPLC-MS, through which the degradation intermediates, such as 4-hydroxy-diclofenac or 5-hydroxydiclofenac, 2,6-dichloroaniline, phenylacetic acid, 1,3-dichlorobenzene and 2-aminophenylacetic acid were identified. Hydroxylation, decarboxylation, CN bond cleavage and ring-opening involving the attack of OH or other substances, were the main degradation mechanism. Therefore, Pre-Fe0/H2O2 process, which does not need extra energy and costly reagents, is an efficient and environmental-friendly process to degrade DCF.

The adsorption potential and governing mechanisms of emerging contaminants, i.e. acetaminophen or acetyl-para-aminophenol (APAP) and methylene blue (MB) dye, on activated carbon derived from municipal solid waste were investigated in this work. Results showed that MB adsorption was significantly more effective, with a maximum removal of 99.9%, than APAP adsorption (%Rmax = 63.7%). MB adsorption was found to be unaffected by pH change, while the adsorption capacity of APAP drastically dropped by about 89% when the pH was adjusted from pH 2 to 12. Surface reactions during APAP adsorption was dominated by both physical and chemical interactions, with the kinetic data showing good fit in both pseudo-first order (R2 = 0.986-0.997) and pseudo-second order (R2>0.998) models. On the other hand, MB adsorption was best described by the pseudo-second order model, with R2>0.981, denoting that chemisorption controlled the process. Electrostatic attractions and chemical reactions with oxygenated surface functional groups (i.e., -OH and -COOH) govern the adsorption of APAP and MB on the activated biochar. Thermodynamic study showed that APAP and MB adsorption were endothermic with positive ΔH° values of 16.5 and 74.7 kJ mol-1, respectively. Negative ΔG° values obtained for APAP (-3.7 to -5.1 kJ mol-1) and MB (-11.4 to -17.1 kJ mol-1) implied that the adsorption onto the activated biochar was spontaneous and feasible. Overall, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of activated biochar from municipal solid wastes as alternative adsorbent for the removal of acetaminophen and methylene blue dye from contaminated waters.

Abstract
Fluidized-bed Fenton coupled with ceramic membrane separation to treat the flax secondary effluent was investigated. The operating variables, including initial pH, dosage of H2O2 and Fe0, air flow rate, TMP and pore size, were optimized. The distributions of DOMs in the treatment process were analyzed. Under the optimum condition (600mgL-1H2O2, 1.4gL-1 Fe0, pH=3, 300Lh-1 air flow rate and 15psi TMP), the highest TOC and color removal efficiencies were 84% and 94% in the coupled reactor with 100nm ceramic membrane, reducing 39% of total iron with similar removal efficiency compared with Fluidized-bed Fenton. Experimental results showed that the ceramic membrane could intercept catalyst particles (average particle size >100nm), 10.4% macromolecules organic matter (AMW>20000Da) and 12.53% hydrophobic humic-like component. EEM-PARAFAC identified four humic-like (M1-M4) and one protein-like components (M5), and the fluorescence intensities of M1-M5 in the secondary effluent were 63.27, 63.05, 33.41, 16.71 and 0.72 QSE, respectively. After the coupled treatment, the removal efficiencies of M1(81%), M2(86%) were higher than M3, M4(63%, 61%). Pearson correlation analysis suggested that M1, M2 and M3 were the major contributors to the cake layer, and M4, M5 might more easily lead to pore blockages.

Abstract
Recently, yolk-shell structured materials with active metal cores have received considerable attention in heterogeneous Fenton-like systems, which have excellent catalytic performance. In this study, we initially attempted the nonsacrificial template synthesis of yolk-shell structured nanoparticles with magnetite cores encapsulated in a mesoporous silica shell (Fe3O4@SiO2) via a modified sol-gel process and then evaluated their catalytic activity for acetaminophen degradation in Fenton-like systems. Second, copper nanoparticles were decorated on the surface of the Fe3O4@SiO2 microspheres (Fe3O4@SiO2@Cu) to enhance the catalytic activity. The morphological, structural, and physicochemical properties of the prepared materials were characterized via X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, field emission transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, specific surface area, ζ-potential, magnetic properties, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results demonstrated a successful fabrication of the targeted materials. The yolk-shell structured materials possess a spherical morphology with an active core, protective shell, and hollow void. The Fe3O4@SiO2 and Fe3O4@SiO2@Cu variants showed acetaminophen removal rates significantly higher compared to those of their counterparts, i.e., the Fe3O4 and Fe3O4@Cu core-shell structures. Fe3O4@SiO2@Cu showed that the copper nanoparticles were firmly immobilized on the mesoporous silica shell, dramatically improving the catalytic performance. Both the yolk-shell structured Fe3O4@SiO2 and Fe3O4@SiO2@Cu exhibited good separation and satisfactory regeneration properties, which could be recycled six times without any obvious decline in catalytic activity. Overall, the results of this study suggested that Fe3O4@SiO2 and Fe3O4@SiO2@Cu yolk-shell nanostructures could be promising catalysts for a heterogeneous Fenton-like system by which the removal of emerging contaminants can be greatly improved.

Abstract
Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether (BCEE) is a common chemical material and a frequently detected contaminant in groundwater. It has a strong toxicity and some other chemicals such as poly(vinyl chloride-co-isobutyl vinyl ether) contain similar chloroaliphatic ether structure. So the effective degradation method and transformation pathways for BCEE need to be learned. The present study compared the degradation rate of BCEE by Fenton's reagent and other common oxidation methods, and optimized the reaction conditions. Oxidation intermediates and pathways were also proposed and toxicities of the intermediates were investigated. Results showed that Fenton was highly effective to degrade BCEE. pH, Fe2+ and H2O2 concentration all affected the oxidation rate, among which Fe2+ was the most significant variable. A total of twelve chlorinated intermediates were detected. Three main reaction pathways involved cleavage of the ether bond, hydroxyl substitution for hydrogen, and radical coupling. The pathways could be well interpreted and supported by theoretical calculations. The reaction mixture showed a decreasing trend in TOC concentration and toxicity until totally harmless to Vibrio fischeri after 15 min, but it was noteworthy that toxicities of some dimeric intermediates were stronger than BCEE by calculation.

Abstract
The presence of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals in natural waters has raised increasing concern due to their frequent appearance and persistence in the aquatic ecosystem and the threat to health and safety of aquatic life, even at trace concentrations. Conventional water treatment processes are known to be generally inadequate for the elimination of these persistent contaminants. Therefore, the use of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) which are able to efficiently oxidize organic pollutants has attracted a great amount of attention. The main limitation of AOPs lies in their high operating costs associated with the consumption of energy and chemicals. Fenton-based processes, which utilize nontoxic and common reagents and potentially can exploit solar energy, will considerably reduce the removal cost of recalcitrant contaminants. The disadvantages of homogeneous Fenton processes, such as the generation of high amounts of iron-containing sludge and limited operational range of pH, have prompted much attention to the use of heterogeneous Fenton processes. In this review, the impacts of some controlling parameters including the H2O2 and catalyst dosage, solution pH, initial contaminants concentrations, temperature, type of catalyst, intensity of irradiation, reaction time and feeding mode on the removal efficiencies of hetero/homogeneous Fenton processes are discussed. In addition, the combination of Fenton-type processes with biological systems as the pre/post treatment stages in pilot-scale operations is considered. The reported experimental results obtained by using Fenton and photo-Fenton processes for the elimination of pharmaceutical contaminants are also compiled and evaluated.

Abstract
Acetaminophen can increase the risk of arsenic-mediated hepatic oxidative damage; therefore, the decontamination of water polluted with coexisting acetaminophen and arsenic gives rise to new challenges for the purification of drinking water. In this work, a three-metal layered double hydroxide, namely, Cu-Zn-Fe-LDH, was synthesized and applied as a heterogeneous Fenton-like oxidation catalyst and adsorbent to simultaneously remove acetaminophen (Paracetamol, PR) and arsenic. The results showed that the degradation of acetaminophen was accelerated with decreasing pH or increasing H2O2 concentrations. Under the conditions of a catalyst dosage of 0.5 g·L(-1) and a H2O2 concentration of 30 mmol·L(-1), the acetaminophen in a water sample was completely degraded within 24 h by a Fenton-like reaction. The synthesized Cu-Zn-Fe-LDH also exhibited a high efficiency for arsenate removal from aqueous solutions, with a calculated maximum adsorption capacity of 126.13 mg·g(-1). In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the more toxic arsenite can be gradually oxidized into arsenate and adsorbed at the same time by Cu-Zn-Fe-LDH. For simulated water samples with coexisting arsenic and acetaminophen pollutants, after treatment with Cu-Zn-Fe-LDH and H2O2, the residual arsenic concentration in water was less than 10 μg·L(-1), and acetaminophen was not detected in the solution. These results indicate that the obtained Cu-Zn-Fe-LDH is an efficient material for the decontamination of combined acetaminophen and arsenic pollution.

Abstract
This investigation evaluates the effectiveness of a fluidized-bed Fenton process in treating flax wastewater. Flax wastewater was taken from a paper-making factory in a secondary sedimentation tank effluent of a paper-making factory in Hebei. The performance of three carriers (SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3) used in the reactor was compared, and the effects of different operational conditions, and Fenton reagent concentrations were studied. Experimental results indicated that SiO2 was the most appropriate carrier in the system. The dose of Fe2+ and H2O2 was a significant operating factor in the degradation progress. The bed expansion was considered to be another factor influencing the treatment effect. Under the appropriate conditions (300 mg/L Fe2+, 600 mg/L H2O2, and 74.07 g/L SiO2 as the carrier, at pH=3, 50% bed expansion), the highest removal rate of total organic carbon (TOC) and color was 89% and 94%, respectively. The article also discussed the process of the colority removal of flax wastewater and the kinetics of TOC removal.

Abstract
Treatment of industrial waste water (e.g. textile waste water, phenol waste water, pharmaceutical etc) faces limitation in conventional treatment procedures. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) do not suffer from the limits of conventional treatment processes and consequently degrade toxic pollutants more efficiently. Complexity is faced in eradicating the restrictions of AOPs such as sludge formation, toxic intermediates formation and high requirement for oxidants. Increased mass-transfer in AOPs is an alternate solution to this problem. AOPs combined with Fluidized bed reactor (FBR) can be a potential choice compared to fixed bed or moving bed reactor, as AOP catalysts life-span last for only maximum of 5-10 cycles. Hence, FBR-AOPs require lesser operational and maintenance cost by reducing material resources. The time required for AOP can be minimized using FBR and also treatable working volume can be increased. FBR-AOP can process from 1 to 10 L of volume which is 10 times more than simple batch reaction. The mass transfer is higher thus the reaction time is lesser. For having increased mass transfer sludge production can be successfully avoided. The review study suggests that, optimum particle size, catalyst to reactor volume ratio, catalyst diameter and liquid or gas velocity is required for efficient FBR-AOP systems. However, FBR-AOPs are still under lab-scale investigation and for industrial application cost study is needed. Cost of FBR-AOPs highly depends on energy density needed and the mechanism of degradation of the pollutant. The cost of waste water treatment containing azo dyes was found to be US$ 50 to US$ 500 per 1000 gallons where, the cost for treating phenol water was US$ 50 to US$ 800 per 1000 gallons. The analysis for FBR-AOP costs has been found to depend on the targeted pollutant, degradation mechanism (zero order, 1st order and 2nd order) and energy consumptions by the AOPs.

Abstract
In this work, a novel photocatalyst K3[Fe(CN)6]/TiO2 synthesized via a simple sol-gel method was utilized to degrade acetaminophen (ACT) under visible light with the use of blue and green LED lights. Parameters (medium pH, initial concentration of reactant, catalyst concentration, temperature, and number of blue LED lights) affecting photocatalytic degradation of ACT were also investigated. The experimental result showed that compared to commercially available Degussa P-25 (DP-25) photocatalyst, K3[Fe(CN)6]/TiO2 gave higher degradation efficiency and rate constant (kapp) of ACT. The degradation efficiency or kapp decreased with increasing initial ACT concentration and temperature, but increased with increased number of blue LED lamps. Additionally, kapp increased as initial pH was increased from 5.6 to 6.9, but decreased at a high alkaline condition (pH 8.3). Furthermore, the degradation efficiency and kapp of ACT increased as K3[Fe(CN)6]/TiO2 loading was increased to 1 g L(-1) but decreased and eventually leveled off at photocatalyst loading above this value. Photocatalytic degradation of ACT in K3[Fe(CN)6]/TiO2 catalyst system follows a pseudo-first-order kinetics. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood equation was also satisfactorily used to model the degradation of ACT in K3[Fe(CN)6]/TiO2 catalyst system indicated by a satisfactory linear correlation between 1/kapp and Co, with kini = 6.54 × 10(-4) mM/min and KACT = 17.27 mM(-1).

Dalida MLP, Amer KMS, Su CC, Lu MC. Photocatalytic degradation of acetaminophen in modified TiO2 under visible irradiation. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 21:1208-16. [PMID: 23888349 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-013-2003-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2013] [Accepted: 07/10/2013] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the photocatalytic degradation of acetaminophen (ACT) in synthetic titanium dioxide (TiO2) solution under a visible light (λ >440 nm). The TiO2 photocatalyst used in this study was synthesized via sol-gel method and doped with potassium aluminum sulfate (KAl(SO4)2) and sodium aluminate (NaAlO2). The influence of some parameters on the degradation of acetaminophen was examined, such as initial pH, photocatalyst dosage, and initial ACT concentration. The optimal operational conditions were also determined. Results showed that synthetic TiO2 catalysts presented mainly as anatase phase and no rutile phase was observed. The results of photocatalytic degradation showed that LED alone degraded negligible amount of ACT but with the presence of TiO2/KAl(SO4)2, 95% removal of 0.10-mM acetaminophen in 540-min irradiation time was achieved. The synthetic TiO2/KAl(SO4)2 presented better photocatalytic degradation of acetaminophen than commercially available Degussa P-25. The weak crystallinity of synthesized TiO2/NaAlO2 photocatalyst showed low photocatalytic degradation than TiO2/KAl(SO4)2. The optimal operational conditions were obtained in pH 6.9 with a dose of 1.0 g/L TiO2/KAl(SO4)2 at 30 °C. Kinetic study illustrated that photocatalytic degradation of acetaminophen fits well in the pseudo-first order model. Competitive reactions from intermediates affected the degradation rate of ACT, and were more obvious as the initial ACT concentration increased.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2013; 254-255:284-292. [PMID: 23632042 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2013.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2013] [Revised: 03/13/2013] [Accepted: 04/02/2013] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Ultrasonic (US) and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)-catalyzed ultrasonic (US/SWNT) degradation of a pharmaceutical (PhAC) mixture of acetaminophen (AAP) and naproxen (NPX) used as analgesics was carried out in water. In the absence of SWNTs, maximum degradations of AAP and NPX occurred at a high frequency (1000 kHz) and under acidic conditions (pH 3) and different solution temperatures (25 °C at 28 kHz and 35 °C at 1000 kHz) during US reactions. Rapid degradation of PhACs occurred within 10 min at 28 kHz (44.5% for AAP; 90.3% for NPX) and 1000 kHz (39.2% for AAP; 74.8% for NPX) at a SWNT concentration of 45 mgL(-1) under US/SWNT process, compared with 28 kHz (5.2% for AAP; 10.6% for NPX) and 1000 kHz (29.1% for AAP; 46.2% for NPX) under US process. Degradation was associated with the dispersion of SWNTs; small particles acted as nuclei during US reactions, enhancing the H2O2 production yield. NPX removal was greater than AAP removal under all US-induced reaction and SWNT adsorption conditions, which is governed by the chemical properties of PhACs. Based on the results, the optimal treatment performance was observed at 28 kHz with 45 mgL(-1) SWNTs (US/SWNT) within 10 min.
