Abstract
Different organic compounds in aquatic bodies have been recognized as an emerging issue in Environmental Chemistry. The gamma irradiation technique, as one of the advanced oxidation techniques, has been widely investigated in past decades as a technique for the degradation of organic molecules, such as dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, which show high persistence to degradation. This review gives an overview of what has been achieved so far using gamma irradiation for different organic compound degradations giving an explanation of the mechanisms of degradations as well as the corresponding limitations and drawbacks, and the answer to why this technique has not yet widely come to life. Also, a new approach, recently presented in the literature, regards coupling gamma irradiation with other techniques and materials, as the latest trend. A critical evaluation of the most recent advances achieved by coupling gamma irradiation with other methods and/or materials, as well as describing the reaction mechanisms of coupling, that is, additional destabilization of molecules achieved by coupling, emphasizing the advantages of the newly proposed approach. Finally, it was concluded what are the perspectives and future directions towards its commercialization since this technique can contribute to waste minimization i.e. not waste transfer to other media. Summarizing and generalization the model of radiolytic degradation with and without coupling with other techniques can further guide designing a new modular, mobile method that will satisfy all the needs for its wide commercial application.

Abstract
A binary AgI/ Ag2WO4 photocatalyst was fabricated and characterized by SEM, XRD, UV-Vis DRS, and FT-IR. It was then used to photodegrade sodium ceftriaxone (CTX) in an aqueous solution. The band gap energies of 2.95, 2.78, and 2.62 eV were obtained by the Kubelka-Munk model for Ag2WO4, AgI, and AgI/Ag2WO4 catalysts. The samples have pHPZC values of 6.9, 4.2, and 6.6, respectively. The synergistic photocatalytic activity of the coupled system depended on the AgI:Ag2WO4 mole ratio and grinding time (optimums:mole ratio of 4:1 and time 30 min). The experimental design was used for optimizing the conditions and a quadratic model well-processed the data based on the model F value of 131.87 > F0.05,14,13 = 2.55 and LOF F value of 0.78 < F0.05,10,3 = 8.78. The optimized RSM run included the irradiation time of 85 min, 3.5 mg/L of CTX sample at pH 9, and a catalyst dose of 1.0 g/L. Under the optimized conditions, about 63% of CTX molecules were photodegraded. In the study of the scavenging agents, the direct Z-scheme mechanism accumulated electrons in the CB-AgI and the holes in the VB-Ag2WO4 level, as stronger reducing and oxidizing centers than the accumulated electrons and holes of the type (II) heterojunction mechanism. Compared to a CTX oxidation potential of about 0.06 V, the direct Z-scheme mechanism is more favorable to reduce or oxidize it.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 445:130478. [PMID: 36493641 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.130478] [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: 09/12/2022] [Revised: 10/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Known organophosphorus pesticides are used widely in agriculture to improve the production of crops. Based on the literature, the degradation of some organophosphorus pesticides was studied theoretically. However, the mechanisms and variation of toxicity during the degradation of mevinphos and monocrotophos are still unclear in the environment, especially in wastewater. In this study, the reaction mechanisms for the degradation of the two representative organophosphorus pesticides (i.e., mevinphos and monocrotophos) in presence of OH radicals in the atmosphere and water are proposed using quantum chemical methods wB97-XD/6-311 + +G(3df,2pd)//wB97-XD/6-311 + +G(d,p). Result shows that the dominant channel is OH-addition to the C atom in CC bond with energy barriers being 15.6 and 14.7 kJ/mol, in the atmosphere and water, respectively, for mevinphos. As for monocrotophos, H-abstraction from NH group via barriers of 8.2 and 10.6 kJ/mol is more feasible in both the atmosphere and water. Moreover, the subsequent reactions of the major products in the atmosphere with NO and O2 were also studied to evaluate the atmospheric chemistry of mevinphos and monocrotophos. Kinetically, the total rate constant is 2.68 × 10-9 and 3.86 × 10-8 cm3 molecule-1·s-1 for mevinphos and monocrotophos in the atmosphere and 4.91 × 1010 and 7.77 × 1011 M-1 s-1 in the water at 298 K, thus the lifetime is estimated to be 36.46-364.60 s (2.53-25.31 s) in the atmosphere, and 1.41 × 10-2 - 1.41 × 10-1 s (8.92 ×10-4 - 8.92 ×10-3 s) in the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) system. Furthermore, ecotoxic predictions for rats and three aqueous organisms imply their toxicity are reduced during degradation by using ECOSAR and T.E.S.T program based quantitative structure and activity relationship (QSAR) method.

Abstract
With the increasing incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases, high consumption of the cardiovascular drug salbutamol (SAL) has made this compound an emerging pollutant in natural water and a challenge for traditional wastewater treatment. In this paper, an efficient advanced oxidation process was used to degrade SAL by electron beam (EB) irradiation. The results revealed that 100 mg L-1 of SAL could be nearly completely removed (95.1%) at 10 kGy and the degradation kinetic well followed pseudo first-order kinetic model. Different factors, including pH, inorganic ions and water matrix, had varying effects on the degradation of SAL owing to their important influence on the formation of reactive species in the aqueous solution. And it was found that eaq- played a major role in the degradation of SAL parent. Moreover, the addition of K2S2O8 (20 mM) increased the SAL mineralization rate from 2.9% to 64.2%, suggesting that oxidation free radicals could greatly improve the mineralization rate of SAL. Combining with the theoretical calculations and determined degradation by-products, four possible degradation pathways of SAL by EB irradiation were proposed, including H•, •OH and eaq- all participated in the degradation of SAL. Finally, toxicity evaluation suggested that the toxicity of SAL aqueous solution reduced after EB irradiation, indicating that it is an effective method to degrade SAL.

Abstract
The synergistic photocatalytic activity was obtained when CdS and BiVO4 nanoparticles (NPs) were coupled. The samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and UV-DRS techniques, and their pHpzc was also estimated. The crystallite size of the coupled sample was estimated at 37.3 and 12.5 nm by the Scherrer and Williamson-Hall equations, respectively. The band gaps and the potential positions of VB and CB levels of the semiconductors used were determined. The highest boosted photocatalytic activity was obtained when the CdS: BiVO4 mole ratio was 1:1. RSM studied the simultaneous interactions between the selected variables, and the model F-value of 110.61> F0.05, 14, 13 = 2.4 accompanied by the LOF F-value of 5.20 < F0.05, 10, 3 = 8.79 confirm the model significance. The correlation coefficients of R2 = 0.9861, the adjusted R2 = 0.9710, and the predicted R2 = 0.9417, also establish a satisfactory model for processing the experimental data. In the scavenging agent study, photodegradation mechanisms were suggested; among them, the direct Z-scheme mechanism is more favorable for illustrating the EBT-photodegradation by the binary CdS-BiVO4 photocatalyst. The proposed system, especially the direct Z-scheme mechanism, is suitable as a potential hydrogen production system.

Abstract
An efficient gamma radiolytic decomposition of one of the extensively used herbicides in the world quizalofo-p-ethyl (QPE) was explored under different experimental conditions. Aqueous solutions of QPE were irradiated by gamma rays emitted by a Cobalt 60 source. QPE aqueous solutions were irradiated at doses of 0.5-3 kGy with 26.31 Gy min-1 dose rate. Obtained results indicated that removal efficiency of 98.5% and 73% of QPE were obtained, respectively, in absence and in presence of dissolved oxygen. Change of absorption spectra, pH effect and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) were carried out and studied. It was found that all absorption bands decreased with increasing irradiation dose and disappear totally after 3 kGy applied dose. Three pH conditions (pH = 10, pH = 6.2 and pH = 3) were applied in radiolytic degradation of QPE showing that the best removal efficiency has been found for neutral pH. Interestingly, the % TOC removal reaches 98% at 3 kGy indicated practically total mineralization. Furthermore, spectrophotometric analyses argued in favour of a pseudo-first-order kinetic of QPE degradation. The resulting apparent rate constant value is approximately kapp = (0.012 ± 0.001) min-1. Finally, several by-products such as 6-chloroquinoxalin -2-ol, 2-(4-hydroxy-phenyoxy) propionate, 1,4-hydroquinone, quinone, 4-chlorobenzene-1,2diol and 1,2,4-benzenetriol were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) evidencing that radiation process starting with the fragmentation of the molecule involving the hydroxyl radical, which is generated by the radiolysis of water. Based on the identification intermediates, a degradation mechanistic schema of QPE has been proposed.

Abstract
A lanthanum oxide (La2O3)-ZnO nanostructured material was synthesized in the proposed study with different La2O3 concentrations, 0.001 g to 5 g (named So to S7), using the combustion method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were utilized for investigating the structure, morphology, and spectral studies of the La2O3- ZnO nanomaterials, respectively. The results obtained from previous techniques support ZnO's growth from crystalline to nanoparticles' fine structure by changing the concentrations of lanthanum oxide (La2O3) dopants in the host matrix. The percentage of ZnO doped with La- influences the ZnO photocatalytic activity. SEM analysis confirmed the grain size ranged between 81 and 138 nm. Furthermore, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy was performed to verify the effects of La2O3 dopants on the linear optical properties of the nano-composite oxides. There was a variation in the energy bandgaps of La2O3-ZnO nanocomposites, increasing the weight concentrations of lanthanum dopants. The AC electrical conductivity, dielectric properties, and current-voltage properties support the enactment of the electrical characteristics of the ZnO nanoparticles by adding La2O3. All the samples under investigation were used for photodegradation with Rhodamine B (RhB) and Methylene Blue (MB). In less than 30 min of visible light irradiation, S4 (0.5 g) La2O3-ZnO reached 99% of RhB and MB degradation activity. This study showed the best photocatalytic effect for RhB and MB degradation of 0.13 and 0.11 min-1 by 0.5 g La2O3-ZnO. Recycling was performed five times for the nanocatalysts that displayed up to 98 percent catalytic efficiency for RhB and MB degradation in 30 min. The prepared La2O3-ZnO nanostructured composites are considered novel candidates for various applications in biomedical and photocatalytic studies.

Abstract
This study reported Fe doped zinc oxide (Fe-ZnO) synthesis to degrade chlorpyrifos (CPY), a highly toxic organophosphate pesticide and important sources of agricultural wastes. Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic analyses showed successful formation of the Fe-ZnO with highly crystalline and amorphous nature. Water collected from agricultural wastes were treated with Fe-ZnO and the results showed 67% degradation of CPY by Fe-ZnO versus 39% by ZnO at 140 min treatment time. Detail mechanism involving reactive oxygen species production from solar light activated Fe-ZnO and their role in degradation of CPY was assessed. Use of H2O2, peroxydisulfate (S2O82-) and peroxymonosulfate (HSO5-) with Fe-ZnO under solar irradiation promoted removal of CPY. The peroxides yielded hydroxyl (OH) and sulfate radical () under solar irradiation mediated by Fe-ZnO. Effects of several parameters including concentration of pollutant and oxidants, pH, co-existing ions, and presence of natural organic matter on CPY degradation were studied. Among peroxides, HSO5- revealed to provide better performance. The prepared Fe-ZnO showed high reusability and greater mineralization of CPY. The GC-MS analysis showed degradation of CPY resulted into several transformation products (TPs). Toxicity analysis of CPY as well as its TPs was performed and the formation of non-toxic acetate imply greater capability of the treatment technology.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CP) is a class of organophosphorus (OP) pesticides, which find extensive applications as acaricide, insecticide and termiticide. The use of CP has been indicated in environmental contamination and disturbance in the biogeochemical cycles. CP has been reported to be neurotoxic and has a detrimental effect on immunological and psychological health. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop effective degradation methods for the removal of CP from the environment. In the past few years, physicochemical (advanced oxidation process) and biological treatment approaches have been widely employed for the pesticide removal. However, the byproducts of this process are more toxic than the parent compound and along with an incomplete degradation of CP. This review focuses on the toxicity of CP, the sources of contamination, degradation pathways, physicochemical, biological, and nano-technology based methods employed for the degradation of CP. In addition, consolidated information on various detection methods and materials used for the detection have been provided in this review.

Abstract
In present study, a simple, effective and rapid green method using leaf extract of Melia azedarach was explored for the synthesis of Cu-ZnO nano heterojunction particles. The leaf extract of Melia azedarach acts as a reducing agent and prevents the agglomeration of nanoparticles. Different standard analytical techniques were used to study the morphology and size of synthesized nanocomposite. The efficiency of the synthesized material was tested as a photocatalyst for the degradation of simulated wastewater having chlorpyriphos pesticide. The different factors have been investigated such as pH of the solution, catalyst dosage and conact time. Approximately, 81% of chlorpyrifos was degraded after 240 min of solar illumination. The generation of hydroxyl radicals at the catalysts surface owing to photo-irradiation contributed to the chlorpyrifos degradation. The maximum photo-degradation (91%) of pesticides was observed at 6.0 pH. The pathway for the degradation of chlorpyriphos has been checked by LC-MS and this hinting the absence of any harmfull side product. The COD removal and TOC was found to be 32.4% and 28.5%, respectively. The photodegradation of chlorpyriphos using Cu-ZnO nanocomposite was followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic with higher value of regressiuon coefficient (0.99).

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CPF), an organophosphate insecticide, due to its high efficiency and low cost is widely used in the agricultural industry. CPF may lead to lung deficiency, central nervous system damage, developmental and autoimmune disorders. In recent decades, the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been considered in water and wastewater treatment due to their high efficiency in decomposition of organic and inorganic compounds, specially hardly biodegradable or non-biodegradable compounds. In the present review study, the most common AOPs (such as Fenton and Photo-Fenton processes, UV/H2O2 photolysis, UV/TiO2 heterogeneous photo catalysis, electrochemical processes, sonolysis technology, gamma irradiation technology and sulfate-based AOPs) applied for CPF removal from aqueous matrices has been investigated. It can be concluded that the use of AOPs are effective for CPF removal from aqueous media. In addition, Fenton and photocatalytic processes appear to be the most common techniques for CPF degradation.

Abstract
In the present work, a novel (2D/2D) accordion like CS@g‒C3N4/MX hybrid composite was prepared through one-pot hydro-thermal synthesis method and utilized as a catalyst for the degradation of organic persistent dyes such as methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB). Because the removal of such organic compounds is a major dispute in environmental aspects. In this study, the bio-assisted g‒C3N4/MX nanosheets was utilized for the removal of organic dyes from aqueous solution under visible light irradiation, respectively. The CS@g-C3N4/MX photocatalyst showed high catalytic activity based on ~99% and ~98.5% degradation of MB and RhB within 60 and 40 min using visible light irradiation. This outcome could have resulted in greater catalytic enactment towards the degradation of other persistent pollutants with enhanced light absorption property and it can efficiently suppress photo-generated charge recombination, thus improving the interfacial charge transfer rate. The OH radical was being effective oxidative species involved in the CS@g-C3N4/MX system for the degradation of organic contaminants. Furthermore, CS@g-C3N4/MX showed excellent photo-stability over five consecutive cycles for the degradation of organic dyes with negligible loss of photocatalytic activity. Finally, the purposed catalytic mechanisms and degradation pathways of MB and RhB were systematically discussed in detail based on experimental results. Thus, the organics which oxidized into ring-opened compounds such as ethoxyethane, butadiene etc., to non-toxic products like H2O, CO2 and some mineral salts.

Abstract
Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is a photocatalyst that has gained interest amongst researchers because of its non-toxicity, narrow band gap and superior charge transport. Due to its fast charge recombination, modification is vital to counteract this limitation. In this paper, we report on the fabrication of Mn-doped WO3/SnS2 nanoparticles, which were synthesised with the aim of minimising the recombination rates of the photogenerated species. The nanomaterials were characterised using spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), Raman, XRD, photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)) together with microscopic techniques (FESEM-EDS and high resolution transmission electron microscopy selected area electron diffraction (HRTEM-SAED)) to confirm the successful formation of Mn-WO3/SnS2 nanoparticles. The Mn-doped WO3/SnS2 composite was a mixture of monoclinic and hexagonal phases, confirmed by XRD and Raman analysis. The Mn-WO3/SnS2 heterojunction showed enhanced optical properties compared to those of the un-doped WO3/SnS2 nanoparticles, which confirms the successful charge separation. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis indicated that the nanoparticles were mesoporous as they exhibited a Type IV isotherm. These nanomaterials appeared as a mixture of rectangular rods and sheet-like shapes with an increased surface area (77.14 m2/g) and pore volume (0.0641 cm3/g). The electrochemical measurements indicated a high current density (0.030 mA/cm2) and low charge transfer resistance (157.16 Ω) of the Mn-WO3/SnS2 heterojunction, which infers a high charge separation, also complemented by photoluminescence with low emission peak intensity. The Mott–Schottky (M-S) plot indicated a positive slope characteristic of an n–n heterojunction semiconductor, indicating that electrons are the major charge carriers. Thus, the efficiency of Mn-WO3/SnS2 heterojunction photocatalyst was monitored for the degradation of chlorpyrifos. The effects of pH (3–9), catalyst loading (0.1–2 g) and initial chlorpyrifos concentration (100 ppb–20 ppm) were studied. It was observed that the degradation was purely due to photocatalysis, as no loss of chlorpyrifos was observed within 30 min in the dark. Chlorpyrifos removal using Mn-WO3/SnS2 was performed at the optimum conditions of pH = 7, catalyst loading = 1 g and chlorpyrifos concentration = 1000 ppb in 90 min. The complete degradation of chlorpyrifos and its major degradation by-product 3,5,6-trichloropyridin-2-ol (TCP) was achieved. Kinetic studies deduced a second order reaction at 209 × 10−3 M−1s−1.

Abstract
Abstract
For many decades, organohalide and organophosphate compounds have shown significant detrimental impact on the environment. Consequently, strategies for their remediation continue to be an area of emerging need. The reduction of the chlorpyrifos pesticide, a molecule that bears both organohalide and organophosphate functional groups, is an important area of investigation due to it toxic nature. In this report, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the biological molecule, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) toward chemically reducing chlorpyrifos. The FMN was found to be highly active when anchored to nanocrystalline TiO2 surfaces. The results show new directions toward the remediation of organic contaminants under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
Contamination of the environment by toxic pesticides has become of great concern in agricultural countries. Chlorpyrifos (CP) is among the pesticides most commonly detected in the environment owing to its wide agricultural applications. The aim of this study was to compare potential changes in the toxicity of CP after irradiation. To this end, photolysis of CP was conducted under simulated sunlight, and neurotoxicity assessment was carried out at CP of 20 and 50 μg L-1 and its corresponding irradiated mixture solutions which contain a mixture of identified intermediates using the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism. Photodegradation of 20 μg L-1 CP for 1 h produced no obvious reduction of physiological damage, and more serious effects on animal movement were detected after exposure of the animals to a solution of 50 μg L-1 for 1 h irradiation compared with unirradiated solution. GABAergic and cholinergic neurons were selectively vulnerable to CP exposure, and maximal neuropathological alterations were observed after 1 h irradiation of the CP solutions in coherence with the behavioral impairment. The generation of photoproducts was considered to be responsible for the enhanced disturbance on those biological processes. This work provided useful information on the toxicological assessments of chemicals that were produced during the environmental transformation of pesticides.

Abstract
Nitrogen-containing wastewater is an important issue in optoelectronic and semiconductor industries. Wastewater containing nitrogen compounds such as ammonium, monoethanolamine (MEA), and tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) must be properly treated due to concerns about health and environmental effects. MnCe-GAC (granular activated carbon) processes were developed in this study for the treatment of TMAH-contaminated wastewater in high-tech industries. The MnCe-GAC processes could effectively remove ammonium, MEA, and TMAH from aqueous solutions. The removal efficiencies of ammonium and MEA by these processes were better than observed for TMAH. Parameters affecting TMAH removal such as type of process, type of wastewater (synthetic or real), pH, salts, and t-butanol were investigated. In general, removal efficiencies of TMAH by various processes were in the following order: MnCe-GAC/O3/H2O2 > MnCe-GAC/O3 > MnCe-GAC/H2O2 > MnCe-GAC > GAC. The negative effect of sulfate and nitrate on pollutant removal might be due to the salting-out effect. Based on t-butanol experiments, the main degradation mechanisms of TMAH by the MnCe-GAC/O3/H2O2 process likely involved hydroxyl radicals. The process proposed in this study could be an effective alternative method for the treatment of high-tech industrial wastewater to meet the new TMAH discharge limit.

Abstract
Chlorpyrifos (CP) is an organophosphate pesticide widely used in agriculture known to cause neurological and immunological effects in addition to interfering in the reproduction and development of organisms. In this study, CP degradation by UV/H2O2 process and UVC radiation was investigated, and the ecotoxicity and phytotoxicity was evaluated using bioassays of Aedes aegypti larvae and Lactuca sativa seeds. CP degradation was monitored by HPLC-DAD, and kinetic parameters were calculated for all processes evaluated. Results demonstrated that both processes are efficient, showing a reduction of over 97% of initial CP after 20 and 60 min of UV/H2O2 and UVC radiation, respectively. However, samples treated by UV/H2O2 process demonstrated increase of toxicity, leading to larvae mortality (>90% of organisms) and inhibition effects in seed root growth. The relationship between increased toxicity and the CP byproducts formed was not confirmed due to its low concentration. However, the direct influence of acetonitrile solvent, specifically their toxic byproducts, was observed. This study provides insights into parent compound abatement using oxidative treatment and the changes in toxicity due to the transformation of CP byproducts and complex mixtures (acetonitrile as solvent and hydrogen peroxide).

Abstract
This paper deals with the use of a raceway pond reactor (RPR) as an alternative photoreactor for solar photocatalytic applications. Raceway pond reactors are common low-cost reactors which can treat large volumes of water. The experiments were carried out with TiO2 in the agriculture effluent spiked with Chlorpyrifos (CPF) at circumneutral pH. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to find the optimum process parameters to maximize CPF oxidation from the mathematical model equations developed in this study using R software. By ANOVA, p-value of lack of fit > 0.05 indicated that, the equation was well-fitted. The theoretical efficiency of CPF removal, under the optimum oxidation conditions with UV solar energy of around 697 ± 5.33 lux, was 84.01%, which is in close agreement with the mean experimental value (80 ± 1.42%) confirming that the response model was suitable for the optimization. As far as the authors know, this is the first study of CPF removal using RPR in agriculture runoff at circumneutral pH.

Abstract
With the development of psychiatric disorder in the current society, abuse of antidepressant drug fluoxetine (FLX) has made such compound an emerging contaminant in natural waters, and causes endocrine systems disturbance on some aquatic species. Herein, an efficient advanced oxidation process (AOP), electron beam irradiation was carried out to investigate the decomposition characteristics of such novel environmental pollutant, including the effects of initial concentration, pH, radical scavengers and anions. The results showed that FLX degradation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The degradation rate and dose constant decreased with increasing initial FLX concentration; and G-values elevated with the increase of initial concentration but reduced with increase of absorbed dose. Acidic condition was more conducive to FLX destruction than neutral and alkaline. The radical scavenger experiments indicated OH was the main reactive species for the decomposition of FLX, while the reductive species e-aq and H played an adjuvant role. The presence of anions slightly decreased or even no impact on FLX degradation rate. Various water matrices influenced degradation processes of FLX. Experimental results suggested radiolytic degradation showed the best performance in pure water rather than natural water no matter with filtration or not. Moreover, with the occurrence of defluorination and dealkylation during degradation process, some organic and inorganic intermediates were detected, and the possible degradation mechanisms and pathways of FLX were proposed.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) in the environment poses risks to both ecologic system as well as human health. This study investigated the oxidation kinetics of chlorpyrifos (CP), one of the typical OPPs, by thermoactivated persulfate (PS) oxidation process, and evaluated the influence of key kinetic factors, such as PS concentrations, pH, temperature, bicarbonate, and chloride ions. The reaction pathways and mechanisms were also proposed based on products identification by LC-MS techniques. Our results revealed that increasing initial PS concentration and temperature favored the decomposition of CP, whereas the oxidation efficiency was not affected by pH change ranging from 3 to 11. Bicarbonate was found to play a detrimental role on CP removal rates, while chloride showed no effect. The oxidation pathways including initial oxidation of P=S bond to P=O, dechlorination, dealkylation, and the dechlorination-hydroxylation were proposed, and the detailed underlying mechanisms were also discussed. Molecular orbital (MO) calculations indicated that P=S bond was the most favored oxidation site of the molecule. The toxicity of reaction solution was believed to increase due to the formation of products with P=O structures. This work demonstrates that OPPs can readily react with SO4·- and provides important information for further research on the oxidation of these contaminants.

Abstract
The degradation of atrazine was investigated in aqueous solution by gamma-ray irradiation. 8.11 μM initial atrazine concentration could be completely removed in N₂ saturated solution by applying 3500 Gy radiation dose at a dose rate of 296 Gy h(-1). Significant removal of atrazine (i.e., 39.4%) was observed at an absorbed dose of 1184 Gy in air saturated solution and the removal efficiency was promoted to 50.5 and 65.4% in the presence of N₂O and N₂ gases, respectively. The relative contributions of hydrated electron, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen radical toward atrazine degradation were determined as ratio of observed dose constant (kobs) and found to be 5: 3: 1 for keaq(-): k·OH: kH·, respectively. The degradation efficiency of atrazine was 69.5, 55.6 and 37.3% at pH 12.1, 1.7 and 5.7, respectively. A degradation mechanism was proposed based on the identified degradation by-products by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Taking the relative contributions of oxidative and reductive species to atrazine degradation into account, reductive pathway proved to be a better approach for the radiolytic treatment of atrazine contaminated water.

Abstract
The gamma irradiation was investigated for potential removal of endosulfan sulfate, an emerging water pollutant and central nervous system disruptor. A removal efficiency of 99.5% of initially 1.30 μM endosulfan sulfate was observed at an absorbed dose of 1020 Gy. Aqueous electron (eaq(-)) was found to play primary role in the removal of endosulfan sulfate which was possibly due to greater reactivity of eaq(-) with endosulfan sulfate, considering the second-order rate constant of 8.1×10(9) and 3.4×10(10) M(-1) s(-1) for hydroxyl radical (·OH) and eaq(-), respectively, with endosulfan sulfate. The removal efficiency of endosulfan sulfate was affected by the pH of aqueous solution, with observed removal efficiency of 99.5%, 98.3% and 31.3% at pH 6.2, pH 10.0, and pH 2.6, respectively. The efficiency was also influenced by inorganic anions and humic acid in the order of nitrate>nitrite>bicarbonate>carbonate ≃ humic acid. The initial degradation rate increased while degradation constant decreased with increasing initial concentrations of endosulfan sulfate. The degradation pathways showed that oxidative pathway was initiated at the SO2 bond while reductive pathways at the chlorine attached to the ring of endosulfan sulfate. The mass balance showed removal of 98% chloride and 72% sulfate ions from endosulfan sulfate at an absorbed dose of 1020 Gy. The removal of endosulfan sulfate followed by subsequent loss of by-products under extended treatment showed that gamma irradiation is potential technique for the remediation of organic pollutants from a water environment.

Abstract
Environmental pollution is a recognized issue of major concern since a wide range of contaminants has been found in aquatic environment at ngL(-1) to μgL(-1) levels. In the year 2000, a strategy was defined to identify the priority substances concerning aquatic ecosystems, followed by the definition of environmental quality standards (EQS) in 2008. Recently it was launched the Directive 2013/39/EU that updates the water framework policy highlighting the need to develop new water treatment technologies to deal with such problem. This review summarizes the data published in the last decade regarding the application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to treat priority compounds and certain other pollutants defined in this Directive, excluding the inorganic species (cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel and their derivatives). The Directive 2013/39/EU includes several pesticides (aldrin, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, dicofol, dieldrin, endrin, endosulfan, isodrin, heptachlor, lindane, pentachlorophenol, chlorpyrifos, chlorfenvinphos, dichlorvos, atrazine, simazine, terbutryn, diuron, isoproturon, trifluralin, cypermethrin, alachlor), solvents (dichloromethane, dichloroethane, trichloromethane and carbon tetrachloride), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its derivatives (PFOS), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nonylphenol and octylphenol, as well as the three compounds included in the recommendation for the first watch list of substances (diclofenac, 17-alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and 17-beta-estradiol (E2)). Some particular pesticides (aclonifen, bifenox, cybutryne, quinoxyfen), organotin compounds (tributyltin), dioxins and dioxin-like compounds, brominated diphenylethers, hexabromocyclododecanes and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate are also defined in this Directive, but studies dealing with AOPs are missing. AOPs are recognized tools to destroy recalcitrant compounds or, at least, to transform them into biodegradable species. Diuron (a phenylurea herbicide) and atrazine (from the triazine chemical class) are the most studied pesticides from Directive 2013/39/EU. Fenton-based processes are the most frequently applied to treat priority compounds in water and their efficiency typically increases with the operating temperature as well as under UV or solar light. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is the second most used treatment to destroy pollutants defined in the Directive. Ozone alone promotes the partial oxidation of pollutants, and an increase in the effluent biodegradability, but complete mineralization of pollutants is difficult. To overcome this drawback, ozonation has been combined with heterogeneous catalysts, addition of H2O2, other AOPs (such as photocatalysis) or membrane technologies.

Abstract
Oxidation kinetics and degradation pathways of phenazone (an analgesic and antipyretic drug) upon reaction with O3 were investigated. Kinetic studies on degradation of phenazone were carried out under different operating conditions such as temperature, pH, anions and H2O2 addition. Results showed that the degradation followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The reaction rate constant (kobs) of phenazone reached the maximum at 20 °C (9.653×10(-3) s(-1)). The presence of NO3(-) could enhance the degradation rate, while the addition of HCO3(-), SO4(2)(-), Cl(-) and the rise of pH showed negative effects on the ozonation of phenazone. H2O2 addition increased the phenazone degradation efficiency by 45.9% with the optimal concentration of 0.135 mM. Reaction by-products were evaluated by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS, which allowed the identification of a total of 10 by-products. The transformation pathways of phenazone ozonation consisted mainly of electrophilic addition and substitution, pyrazole ring opening, hydroxylation, dephenylization and coupling. The toxicity of these intermediate products showed that they are expected not to be more toxic than phenazone, with the exception of P7 (aniline) and P10 (1,5-dimethyl-4-((1-methyl-2-phenylhydrazinyl)methoxy)-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one).

Abstract
PbMoO4 and PbWO4 are prepared by the simple precipitation method in this work, they show the photocatalytic activities for the degradation of methyl orange in water under the UV light illumination. In the above photocatalytic degradation processes, methyl orange concentration decreases quickly, the total organic carbon (TOC) decreases slowly; inorganic ions (SO4(2-), NO3(-), NO2(-), NH4(+)) can be formed and measured by the ion chromatograph; the pH value in the systems decreases gradually; a small quantity of HO˙(-)·can be generated and measured by the terephthalic acid (TA) indirectly. In order to estimate the roles of active species during the above photocatalytic degradation processes, isopropanol, (NH4)2C2O4, and 1,4-benzoquinone as the scavengers for HO˙, h(+), O2˙(-) are introduced into the systems, respectively. Isopropanol and (NH4)2C2O4 are effective scavengers for active species HO˙ and h(+) respectively, but 1,4-benzoquinone is not a satisfactory scavenger in all cases to capture O2˙(-), at least in this work. At last, PbMoO4 and PbWO4 are characterized by nitrogen sorption, DRS, SEM, TEM and XRD.

Abstract
The removal of endosulfan, an emerging water pollutant, from water was investigated using gamma irradiation based advanced oxidation and reduction processes (AORPs). A significant removal, 97% of initially 1.0 μM endosulfan was achieved at an absorbed dose of 1020 Gy. The removal of endosulfan by gamma-rays irradiation was influenced by an absorbed dose and significantly increased in the presence of aqueous electron (eaq(-)). However, efficiency of the process was inhibited in the presence of eaq(-) scavengers, such as N2O, NO3(-), acid, and Fe(3+). The observed dose constant decreased while radiation yield (G-value) increased with increasing initial concentrations of the target contaminant and decreasing dose-rate. The removal efficiency of endosulfan II was lower than endosulfan I. The degradation mechanism of endosulfan by the AORPs was proposed showing that reductive pathways involving eaq(-) started at the chlorine attached to the ring while oxidative pathway was initiated due to attack of hydroxyl radical at the SO bond. The mass balance showed 95% loss of chloride from endosulfan at an absorbed dose of 1020 Gy. The formation of chloride and acetate suggest that gamma irradiation based AORPs are potential methods for the removal of endosulfan and its by-products from contaminated water.
