CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 291:132826. [PMID: 34774912 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Revised: 10/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), characterized by their extreme toxicity, high persistency and bioaccumulation, regard as one of the most concerned environmental pollutants on the priority list. In this study, microwave-hydrothermal and photoreduction methods were adopted for fabrication of ternary Au@Fe/TiO2 composites for removal of 2,8-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,8-DCDD) under UV-Vis light irradiation. The acquired materials were characterized and analyzed by XRD, TEM, XPS, UV-Vis DRS, PL, etc. As a result, the 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity that 96.3% of 2,8-DCDD was removed within 160 min with respect to that of Fe/TiO2 (3.0 times) and TiO2 (5.5 times). It revealed the active substances might be produced, which were verified by ESR analysis. In a comparison, the 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 also exhibited high activity in that 97.2% of 2,8-DCDD was removed within 240 min under an anoxic atmosphere. The 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 systems were all pH-dependent that 2,8-DCDD could be fully degraded in neutral conditions. The results of repeatability on 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 showed that the sample was high stability. Fe doping improved the charge separation of TiO2 and Au modification improved the activity via SPR effect and Mott-Schottky barrier. The degradation mechanisms and pathways were proposed and discussed in detail. The current work develops a new approach on photocatalytic oxidation and reductive dechlorination of dioxins and may open a new opportunity to extend the application range of TiO2 catalysts.

Abstract
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have gained heightened attentions in recent years owing to their persistent property and hazard influence on wild life and human beings. Removal of POPs using varieties of multifunctional materials have shown a promising prospect compared with conventional treatments. Herein, three main categories, including thermal degradation, electrochemical remediation, as well as photocatalytic degradation with the use of diverse catalytic materials, especially the recently developed prominent ones were comprehensively reviewed. Kinetic analysis and underlying mechanism for various POPs degradation processes were addressed in detail. The review also systematically documented how catalytic performance was dramatically affected by the nature of the material itself, the structure of target pollutants, reaction conditions and treatment techniques. Moreover, the future challenges and prospects of POPs degradation by means of multiple multifunctional materials were outlined accordingly. Knowing this is of immense significance to enhance our understanding of POPs remediation procedures and promote the development of novel multifunctional materials.

Enhanced photocatalytic reduction for the dechlorination of 2-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin by high-performance g-C 3N 4/NiO heterojunction composites under ultraviolet-visible light illumination. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 384:121255. [PMID: 31590087 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.121255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2019] [Revised: 09/11/2019] [Accepted: 09/17/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), characterized by their high persistency and bioaccumulation, are widely detected in the environment. In this study, high-performance g-C3N4/NiO heterojunctions were fabricated to degrade 2-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2-CDD) under ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) light illumination. Experiments revealed that the pure g-C3N4 and range of g-C3N4/NiO heterojunctions were synthesized by the mixing and heating method, and then were characterized by XRD, TEM, XPS and PL etc. The composites exhibited enhanced dechlorination activities under anoxic conditions. After comparison, the g-C3N4/NiO (4:6) showed optimal dechlorination performance such that 70.4% of 2-CDD was removed within 8 h and 52.3% of 2-CDD was transformed to dibenzo-p-dioxin (DD), about fourfold higher than the pristine g-C3N4. The transformation of 2-CDD was accompanied by the resale of Cl ion, and the additional oxygen was proven to be able to consume electrons and hydrogen ions, thus greatly inhibiting the degradation of PCDD in systems. The g-C3N4/NiO (4:6) can be reused at least seven times, and the mechanism was proposed in detail to promote photoinduced electrohole separation and provide active sites. This study extends the use range of g-C3N4/NiO heterojunctions and develops a new technology to degrade PCDDs with striking activity and stability.

Abstract
The catalytic reduction of diverse pollutants by noble metal catalysts in the presence of reductants is a highly effective and widely used method. However, the considerable cost of noble metal catalysts impedes the practical application of this method, and the recovery of excessive reductants has not been reported previously. In this work, we prepared inexpensive biochar-supported magnetic noble metallic nanoparticles (NPs) and efficiently recovered the excessive reductants in the form of H2. The as-synthesized biochar-supported noble metallic NPs exhibited high H2 recovery during the 4-nitrophenol reduction reaction. Results showed that the catalysts with low noble metallic content have higher H2 recovery rate than commercial Pd/C, Ag/C, and Pt/C. The catalytic mechanism of magnetic biochar-supported noble metallic NPs was demonstrated to be a "synergetic effect", where biochar and Fe3O4 acted as accelerants that enable noble metallic NPs to produce active hydrogen for the reduction reaction, and the excess active hydrogen atoms combined to form H2.

Abstract
Fermentation residue from food waster (FRFW) has a large amount of residual chlorine (Cl), and the high-salt of FRFW is either landfilled or treated as a fertilizer. The transfer of chlorine to the atmosphere and soil can cause pollution and soil salinization. This work primarily investigated the combined forms and migration mechanisms of Cl during the torrefaction of FRFW from 250 to 400 °C. The results showed that the form and amount of Cl released during the torrefaction of FRFW depended on temperature. The absolute content of soluble Cl and total Cl in torrefied solid products decreased, and the absolute content of insoluble Cl reached a maximum at 350 °C, which indicated that some soluble Cl was transferred to the insoluble Cl (CCl forms). The Cl-containing products in non-condensable gas was too little to be detected, so the majority of the reduced Cl was in liquids with different organic compounds.

Abstract
Removal/destruction of aqueous-phase octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (OCDD) and octachlorodibenzofuran (OCDF) via hydrodechlorination process (HDC) is experimentally evaluated over palladium/activated carbon (Pd/AC) catalyst. Pd catalyst is mainly used as active component for effectiveness in removing dioxin from wastewater. Studies on the removal of PCDD/Fs accomplished with HDC reaction in aqueous phase are limited and the influencing factors have not been clarified. In this study, high-concentration OCDD/F are selected as targets, and the effects of solvent and operating temperature on dechlorination efficiency are investigated via experimental tests. The results indicate that the highest hydrodechlorination efficiency is achieved with isopropanol as solvent. The OCDD/F removal efficiency achieved with the solution of 80% isopropanol is higher than that of 50% isopropanol, whereas the destruction efficiency of OCDD/F reveals the opposite trend. Generally, the removal and destruction efficiencies of PCDFs are higher than those of PCDDs. In addition, the activation energies of OCDD and OCDF are calculated with the Arrhenius equation as 24.8 and 23.1 kJ/mol, respectively. Stability tests are conducted with three cycles. Overall, the results indicate that a high performance (≥99%) can be achieved by combining hydrodechlorination with Pd/AC at a temperature range of 303-353 K, demonstrating that Pd/AC has good potential for removing PCDD/Fs from wastewater.
