CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 338:139510. [PMID: 37454991 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
This study utilizes artificial intelligence and statistical modelling to optimize the operating parameters of a carbon-based electro-Fenton process for purifying model dye (RB19)-contaminated wastewater. Multilevel experimental Box-Behnken and uniform deisgns (BBD, UD) with four variables were analysed using polynomial regression analysis (PRA) and artificial neural networks (ANN), while the process optimisation was done using desirability function. For the given testing range but different design matrices and runs, both designs predicted a maximum RB19 removal (RB19-RR) of 90 ± 2.1% at lowest energy consumption (EC) of 0.44 ± 2.5 Wh, when voltage, Na2SO4, FeSO4, and time were maintained as follows: 4-5.3 V, 7-11 mM, 0.4-0.6 mM, and 35-40 min, respectively. All the design-model combinations portrayed the similar senitivity analyses, revealing that RB19 degradation and EC are primarily influenced by electrolysis time and voltage. The performance assessment demonstrated that all the design-model combinations also excellently predicted for unseen conditions as the maximum root mean squared error (RMSE) value for RB19-RR was 4.07, while it was 0.072 for EC, however, BBD-ANN performance proved to be slightly better than others. Having ∼57% less experimentation, UD based models managed to accurately predict the results for unseen conditions as the statistical errors were quite insignificant, even in some cases, RMSE found to be less for UD compared to BBD, elucidating the potential of uniform design as an alternative of conventional factorial designs. Nevertheless, the prediction accuracy is also dependent on modelling approach, as in some cases ANN failed to predict the response precisely specially when dealing with small data. Furthermore, techno-economic evaluation results spell out the efficacy of carbon felt based enhanced electro-Fenton process as promising environmental remediation technology and highlight its practical implication from view of operational cost.

Abstract
In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-based electrochemical sensor has been reported for assessing bromocresol green (BG) in river water. Firstly, AgNPs were greenly produced using the aqueous extract of Ficus sycomorus leaves. Then, the AgNP-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode was prepared using the sticking method. AgNPs were characterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), square wave voltammetry (SWV) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). TEM and SEM were used for determining the size of AgNPs before and after adsorption, respectively. The results show that there was an increase in AgNP size from 20 to 30 nm. Additionally, XRD was used for characterizing the crystal nature of AgNPs, while SWV exhibited a characteristic oxidation peak of AgNPs at 0.06 V. Moreover, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used for characterizing the catalytic effect of AgNPs. BG as a targeted pollutant was detected at AgNPs/GC based on its oxidation through proton and electron transfer. Two peaks corresponding to the monomer and polymer oxidation were detected. The monomer- and polymer-based sensors have revealed a linear range of 2.9 × 10-5 to 2.1 × 10-4 mole l-1 and low detection limits (LODs) of 1.5 × 10-5 and 1.3 × 10-5 mole l-1, respectively.

Abstract
The in situ electrochemical oxidation process has received considerable attention for the removal of dye molecules and ammonium from textile dyeing and finishing wastewater. Nevertheless, the cost and durability of the catalytic anode have seriously limited industrial applications of this technique. In this work, the lab-based waste polyvinylidene fluoride membrane was employed to fabricate a novel lead dioxide/polyvinylidene fluoride/carbon cloth composite (PbO2/PVDF/CC) via integrated surface coating and electrodeposition processes. The influences of operating parameters (pH, Cl− concentration, current density, and initial concentration of pollutant) on the oxidation efficiency of PbO2/PVDF/CC were evaluated. Under optimal conditions, this composite achieves a 100% decolorization of methyl orange (MO), 99.48% removal of ammonium, and 94.46% conversion for ammonium-based nitrogen to N2, as well as an 82.55% removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD). At the coexistent condition of ammonium and MO, MO decolorization, ammonium, and COD removals still remain around 100%, 99.43%, and 77.33%, respectively. It can be assigned to the synergistic oxidation effect of hydroxyl radical and chloride species for MO and the chlorine oxidation action for ammonium. Based on the determination of various intermediates, MO is finally mineralized to CO2 and H2O, and ammonium is mainly converted to N2. The PbO2/PVDF/CC composite exhibits excellent stability and safety.

Toward efficient electrocatalytic degradation of iohexol using active anodes: A laser-made versus commercial anodes. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 299:134350. [PMID: 35331750 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2021] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The X-ray iodinated contrast medium iohexol is frequently detected in aquatic environments due to its high persistence and the inefficiency of its degradation by conventional wastewater treatments. Hence, the challenge faced in this study is the development of an alternative electrochemical treatment using active anodes. We investigate the oxidation of iohexol (16.42 mg L-1) using different operating conditions, focusing on the role of different mixed metal oxide anodes in the treatment efficiency. The electrocatalytic efficiency of the Ti/RuO2-TiO2 anode prepared using a CO2 laser heating and an ionic liquid is compared with Ti/RuO2-TiO2-IrO2 and Ti/IrO2-Ta2O5 commercial anodes. The hypochlorite ions generated by the anodes are also analyzed. The effect of the electrolyte composition (NaCl, Na2SO4, and NaClO4) and current density (15, 30, and 50 mA cm-2) on the iohexol degradation is also studied. The Ti/RuO2-TiO2 laser-made anode is more efficient than the commercial anodes. After optimizing experimental parameters, this anode removes 95.5% of iohexol in 60 min and displays the highest kinetic rate (0.059 min-1) with the lowest energy consumption per order (0.21 kWh m-3order-1), using NaCl solution as the electrolyte and applying 15 mA cm-2. Additionally, iohexol-intensified groundwater was used to compare the efficiency of anodes. The Ti/RuO2-TiO2 is also more efficient in removing the organic charge from the real water matrix (21.7% TOC) than the commercial anodes. Notably, the iohexol removal achieved is higher than all electrochemical treatments already reported using state-of-the-art non-active anodes in lower electrolysis time. Therefore, data from this study indicate that the electrochemical degradation of iohexol using the Ti/RuO2-TiO2 anode is efficient and has excellent cost-effectiveness; thus, it is a promising approach in the degradation of iohexol from wastewater. Furthermore, the Ti/RuO2-TiO2 active anode is competitive and can be an excellent option for treating effluents contaminated with recalcitrant organic compounds such as iohexol.

Abstract
The presence of reactive dyes in textile wastewater is a serious environmental concern due to their associated mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. The present study aims to analyze the effect of different anodic materials on the decolorization of a real textile wastewater effluent. For this purpose, four different anodic materials-TiO2 -coated platine, TiO2 -coated ruthenium dioxide (RuO2 ) (viz., RuO2 ), titanium dioxide (TiO2 ), and graphite-were connected, respectively, to titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) used as a cathode electrode. Color and cost optimization studies were performed using the response surface methodology and the Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD). According to ANOVA results, the R2 values for Pt/TiO2 , RuO2 /TiO2 , TiO2 /TiO2 , and graphite/TiO2 electrode pairs were found to be 97.4%, 93.8%, 92.44%, and 92.2%, respectively, indicating a good compatibility as it is close to one. The results show that color removal efficiencies at the optimal conditions were 86.3%, 90.8%, 91.5%, and 93.6% for Pt/TiO2 , graphite/TiO2 , TiO2 /TiO2 , and RuO2 /TiO2 , respectively. Furthermore, energy consumption cost at the optimum conditions was also evaluated, and the results were as follows: Pt/TiO2 (0.95 €/m3 ), graphite/TiO2 (0.74 €/m3 ), TiO2 /TiO2 (0.31 €/m3 ), and RuO2 /TiO2 (0.26 €/m3 ). Consequently, this research paper shows that all of the tested anodic materials give satisfactory color removal efficiencies higher than 86%. When energy consumption and color removal are considered together, the use of TiO2 /TiO2 and RuO2 /TiO2 pairs would be preferred. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Anodic contribution was investigated for decolorization of textile wastewater by electrooxidation process. Graphite, TiO2 -coated Pt, TiO2 -coated RuO2 , and TiO2 were used as anode materials. Highest color removal with lowest energy consumption was achieved with TiO2 -coated RuO2 anode material (93.6%).

Abstract
These days, environmental pollution, notably water pollution, has increasingly caused severe human health problems. The major water pollutants are heavy metals. MnFe2O4/GO nanocomposite was prepared in the current work via in situ method and tested to remove lead ion Pb2+ and neutral red (NR) dye from water. The prepared nanocomposite was characterized using different techniques, including X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectra, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The prepared nanocomposite showed high adsorption capacity toward Pb2+ and NR dye removal according to Langmuir fitting indicating the monolayer homogeneous adsorption of pollutants over the adsorbent surface and can be separated easily with an external magnet. The effect of different factors, including contact time, pH, initial concentration, and adsorbent dose on the adsorption, were also studied. The increased concentration of pollutants led to increased adsorption capacity from 63 to 625 mg/g for Pb2+ ions and from 20 to 90 mg/g for NR dye. The increased adsorbent dose led to increased removal efficiency from 39% to 98.8% and from 63% to 94% for Pb2+ and NR dye, respectively. The optimum pH for the adsorption of both pollutants was found to be 6.0. The reusability of MnFe2O4/GO nanocomposite was studied for up to five cycles. The nanocomposite can keep its efficiency even after the studied cycles. So, the prepared magnetic nanocomposite is a promising material for water treatment.
