Abstract
Metallic glasses have received a lot of attention on wastewater treatment due to their unique atomic structure, and the use of metallic glasses as electrodes has produced unexpected electrocatalytic degradation effects for many pollutants through combining with electrochemical technology. However, it still is a formidable challenge to find a metallic glass electrode material with both efficient and clean for the catalytic degradation of pollutants. In this work, the Cu55Zr45 metallic glassy ribbons are used as an electrode to degrade azo dyes and show the excellent degradation effect, which can reach 95.6% within 40 min. In the degradation process, almost no additives are produced and Cu55Zr45 metallic glassy ribbons have excellent effects under different pH conditions. Meanwhile, it exhibits good stability for degradation efficiency during the 8 cycle degradation tests of the amorphous alloy electrode. When the copper nanoparticles are exposed on the surface of the ribbons, the oxidized copper obtained synergistically produce activated radicals is the primary degradation mechanism, where the auxiliary degradation mechanisms include electron transfer and the promotion of active chlorine. This research develops a new type of electrode material for wastewater treatment, and the economy and high efficiency of Cu55Zr45 metallic glass endow it the expandable functional applications.

An efficient simultaneous degradation of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim by photoelectro-Fenton process under non-modified pH using a natural citric acid source: study of biodegradability, ecotoxicity, and antibacterial activity. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:42275-42289.

Abstract
In this work, the use of natural organic wastes (orange and lemon peels) as sources of citric acid was evaluated along with the application of the photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) system under non-modified pH as a novel alternative to degrade a complex mixture of pharmaceuticals: sulfamethoxazole (SMX-7.90 × 10-5 mol/L) and trimethoprim (TMP-6.89 × 10-5 mol/L). The system was equipped with a carbon felt air diffusion cathode (GDE) and a Ti/IrO2 anode doped with SnO2 (DSA). A 3.6 × 10-5 mol/L solution of commercial citric acid was used as a reference. The pharmaceuticals' evolution in the mixture was followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The addition of natural products showed an efficient simultaneous degradation of the antibiotics (100% of SMX and TMP at 45 min and 90 min, respectively) similar to the performance produced by adding the commercial citric acid to the PEF system. Moreover, the addition of natural products allowed for an increment of biodegradability (100% removal of TOC by a modified Zahn Wellens test) and a decrease in ecotoxicity (0% in the bioassay with D. Magna) of the treated solutions. The antibacterial activity was eliminated after only 45 min of treatment, suggesting that the degradation by-products do not represent a significant risk to human health or the environment in general. Results suggest that, because of the efficient formation of Fe-citrate complexes, the PEF could be enhanced by the addition of natural organic wastes as a sustainable alternative ecological system for water contaminated pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the potential of reusing natural organic wastes has been exposed, contributing to an improved low-cost PEF by decreasing the environmental contamination produced by this type of waste.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 430:128464. [PMID: 35176697 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.128464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2021] [Revised: 12/26/2021] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Iron-cobalt layered double hydroxides (FeCoLDH) showed superior oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance, but the sluggish water adsorption and dissociation dynamics restrict its capacity to degrade organic pollutants by electro-oxidation. Herein, enhanced electro-oxidation performance of FeCoLDH with hydrophilic structure was designed and exhibited efficient removal efficiency of tetracycline. Theoretical calculation and characterization results consistently elucidated that the electronic structure of FeCoLDH is optimized by doping phosphorus and depositing copper nanodots (NDs). In addition, the obtained Cu NDs/P-FeCoLDH shows higher degradation ability of tetracycline in all-pH conditions than pristine FeCoLDH. That's because it owns smaller barrier with 0.6 eV to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH) than pristine FeCoLDH. Furthermore, it can effectively degrade organic pollutants in seawater, river water and pharmaceutical wastewater samples. This work provides novel and rational electrode materials for electro-oxidation system with practical application potential, which could offer new insights into the fundamental understanding of electrochemistry.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 421:126740. [PMID: 34333409 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.126740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2021] [Revised: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Azo dye pollution has become a worldwide issue, and the current treatment methods can hardly meet the expected emission standards. Microbial electrochemical systems (MESs) show promising applications for decolorization, but their performance critically depends on the microorganisms. Electrode modification is an interesting method of improving decolorization performance. However, the mechanisms of how the modification can affect microbial communities and the decolorization process remain unclear. Here, a modified anode with polyaniline (PANI) and graphene was fabricated via electro-deposition. Consequently, the highest decolorization efficiency was obtained. The Congo red (CR) decolorization rate of the MESs with the PANI/graphene-modified electrode (PG) reached 90% at 54 h. By contrast, the CR decolorization rates of the MESs with the PANI-modified electrode (P) and those of the MESs with the unmodified electrode (C) only reached 68% and 79%, respectively. Results of the microbial community analysis showed abundant Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus in PG (11%), which was 5.5 times that in C (2%) at 18 h. This phenomenon may be related to the rapid decolorization. The upregulated metabolism pathways, including arginine and proline metabolism, purine metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, and riboflavin metabolism, provided more electron shuttles and redox mediators that facilitated the extracellular electron transfer. Therefore, the PG-modified electrode facilitated the decolorization by altering certain metabolic pathways. This study can help to improve the guideline on the potential application of MESs for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this work, Ti/PbO2-Co-Sm electrode has been successfully prepared using electrodeposition and further applied for the electrocatalysis of atrazine (ATZ) herbicide wastewater. As expected, Ti/PbO2-Co-Sm electrode displays highest oxygen evolution potential, lowest charge transfer resistance, longest service lifetime and most effective electrocatalytic activity compared with Ti/PbO2, Ti/PbO2-Sm and Ti/PbO2-Co electrodes. Orthogonal and single factor experiments are designed to optimize the condition of ATZ degradation. The maximum degradation efficiency of 92.6% and COD removal efficiency of 84.5% are achieved in electrolysis time 3 h under the optimum condition (current density 20 mA cm-2, Na2SO4 concentration 8.0 g L-1, pH 5 and temperature 35 °C). In addition, Ti/PbO2-Co-Sm electrode exhibits admirable recyclability in degradation progress. The degradation of ATZ is accomplished by indirect electrochemical oxidation and ∙OH is tested as the main active substance in ATZ oxidation. The possible degradation mechanism of ATZ has been proposed according to the degradation intermediates detected by LC-MS. This research suggests that Ti/PbO2-Co-Sm is a promising electrode for ATZ degradation.

Abstract
Metal oxide anode electrocatalysts are important for an effective removal of contaminants and the enhancement of electrode durability in the electrochemical oxidation process. Herein, we report the enhanced lifetime of RuOx-TiO2 composite anodes that was achieved by optimizing the fabrication conditions (e.g., the Ru mole fraction, total metal content, and calcination time). The electrode durability was assessed through accelerated service lifetime tests conducted under harsh environmental conditions, by using 3.4% NaCl and 1.0 A/cm2. The electrochemical characteristics of the anodes prepared with metal oxides having different compositions were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and X-ray analyses. We noticed that, the larger the Ru mole fraction, the more durable were the electrodes. The RuOx-TiO2 electrodes were found to be highly stable when the Ru mole fraction was >0.7. The 0.8RuOx-0.2TiO2 electrode was selected as the one with the most appropriate composition, considering both its stability and contaminant treatability. The electrodes that underwent a 7-h calcination (between 1 and 10 h) showed the longest lifetime under the tested conditions, because of the formation of a stable Ru oxide structure (i.e., RuO3) and a lower resistance to charge transfer. The electrode deactivation mechanism that occurred due to the dissolution of active catalysts over time was evidenced by an impedance analysis of the electrode itself and surface elemental mapping.

Abstract
Boron-doped diamond (BDD) is an excellent electrode material. As the anode in an electrochemical degradation tank, BDD has been receiving widespread attention for the treatment of azo dye wastewater. In this study, electrochemical oxidation (EO) was applied to electrolyze reactive brilliant yellow X-6G (X-6G) using BDD as the anode and Pt as the cathode. To balance the degradative effects and power consumption in the electrolysis process, the effects of a series of operating parameters, including current density, supporting electrolyte, initial pH, reaction temperature and initial dye concentration, were systematically studied. The oxidative process was analyzed by color removal rate, and the degree of mineralization was evaluated by TOC. The optimal experimental parameters were finally determined: 100 mA cm-2, 0.05 M Na2SO4 electrolyte, pH 3.03, 60 °C, and an initial X-6G concentration of 100 mg L-1. As a result, color completely disappeared after 0.75 h of electrolysis, and TOC was removed by 72.8% after 2 h of electrolysis. In conclusion, the EO of a BDD electrode as an anode can be a potent treatment method for X-6G synthetic wastewater.

[PMID: 32197176 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.126460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2020] [Revised: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 03/08/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Simultaneous enhancement of dye removal and reduction of energy consumption is critical for electrochemical oxidation in treating dyeing wastewater. To address this issue, this work presented a novel process termed biocathode-electrocatalytic reactor (BECR). The dual-chamber BECR employed O2-reducing biocathode instead of normal stainless steel (SS) cathode and MnOx/Ti anode to reduce O2 in the cathode chamber and treat methylene blue (MB) in the anode chamber, respectively. BECR successfully started up at 0.7 and 1 V and substantially improved MB and total organic carbon (TOC) removal compared with the electrocatalytic reactor with SS cathode (ECR-SS), e.g., removal of MB (150 mg L-1) increased from 27.0 ± 0.2% to 78.1 ± 0.4% at 1 V. To achieve the same TOC removal, BECR reduced the energy consumption by approximately 45.7% compared with ECR-SS (19.5 and 35.9 kWh (kg TOC) -1 for BECR and ECR, respectively). To explain the above merits of BECR, M(·OH) (·OH adsorbed on the anode surface) generation, potential of MnOx/Ti anode (Ea), and their correlation were investigated. When coupled with O2-reducing biocathode, MnOx/Ti anode considerably accelerated M(·OH) generation because Ea increased. The increased Ea in BECR was due to the fact that its cathodic reaction was converted to the four-electron O2 reduction, which exhibited a higher cathodic potential than hydrogen evolution reaction on SS cathode in ECR-SS. Thereby, BECR simultaneously promoted dye removal and reduced energy consumption, showing promise in treating dyeing wastewater.

Electrochemical oxidation of indanthrene blue dye in a filter-press flow reactor and toxicity analyses with Raphidocelis subcapitata and Lactuca sativa. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2020; 198:110659. [PMID: 32330790 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.110659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2020] [Revised: 04/12/2020] [Accepted: 04/17/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Alternative routes to degrade dyes are of crucial importance for the environment. Hence, we report the electrochemical removal of indanthrene blue by using a boron-doped diamond anode, focusing on the toxicity of the treated solutions. Different operational conditions were studied, such as current density (5, 10, and 20 mA cm-2) and electrolyte composition (Na2SO4, Na2CO3, and NaNO3). Besides, the pH was monitored throughout the experiment to consider its direct influence on the ecotoxicity effects. The highest electrochemical oxidation efficiency, measured as color removal, was seen in the 180 min condition of electrolysis in 0.033 M Na2SO4, applying 20 mA cm-2, resulting in a color removal of nearly 91% and 40.51 kWh m-3 of energy consumption. The toxicity towards Lactuca sativa depends solely on pH variations being indifferent to color removal. While the inhibition concentration (IC50) for Raphidocelis subcapitata increases 20% after treatment (in optimized conditions), suggesting that the byproducts are more toxic for this specific organism. Our data highlight the importance of analyzing the toxicity towards various organisms to understand the toxic effect of the treatment applied.

Treatment with UV light, sunlight, and coupling with conventional and other photo-assisted advanced technologies. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 250:126198. [PMID: 32105855 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.126198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 153] [Impact Index Per Article: 38.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2020] [Revised: 02/08/2020] [Accepted: 02/11/2020] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Wastewaters containing recalcitrant and toxic organic pollutants are scarcely decontaminated in conventional wastewater facilities. Then, there is an urgent challenge the development of powerful oxidation processes to ensure their organic removal in order to preserve the water quality in the environment. This review presents the recent development of an electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) like the photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) process, covering the period 2010-2019, as an effective treatment for wastewater remediation. The high oxidation ability of this photo-assisted Fenton-based EAOP is due to the combination of in situ generated hydroxyl radicals and the photolytic action of UV or sunlight irradiation over the treated wastewater. Firstly, the fundamentals and characteristics of the PEF process are described to understand the role of oxidizing agents. Further, the properties of the homogeneous PEF process with iron catalyst and UV irradiation and the benefit of sunlight in the homogeneous solar PEF one (SPEF) are discussed, supported with examples over their application to the degradation and mineralization of synthetic solutions of industrial chemicals, herbicides, dyes and pharmaceuticals, as well as real wastewaters. Novel heterogeneous PEF processes involving solid iron catalysts or iron-modified cathodes are subsequently detailed. Finally, the oxidation power of hybrid processes including photocatalysis/PEF, solar photocatalysis/SPEF, photoelectrocatalysis/PEF and solar photoelectrocatalysis/SPEF, followed by that of sequential processes like electrocoagulation/PEF and biological oxidation coupled to SPEF, are analyzed.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to determine the viability of removing Orange II (OII) dye by simulated solar photoelectro-Fenton (SSPEF) and to evaluate the stability of a WO2.72/Vulcan XC72 gas diffusion electrode (GDE) and thus determine its best operating parameters. The GDE cathode was combined with a BDD anode for decolorization and mineralization of 350 mL of 0.26 mM OII by anodic oxidation with electrogenerated H2O2 (AO-H2O2), electro-Fenton (EF) and photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) at 100, 150 and 200 mA cm-2 and SSPEF at 150 mA cm-2. The GDE showed successful operation for electrogeneration, good reproducibility and low leaching of W. Decolorization and OII decay were directly proportional to the current density (j). AO-H2O2 had a reduced performance that was only half of the SSPEF, PEF and EF treatments. The mineralization efficiency was in the following order: AO-H2O2 < EF < PEF ≈ SSPEF. This showed that the GDE, BDD anode and light radiation combination was advantageous and indicated that the SSPEF process is promising with both a lower cost than using UV lamps and simulating solar photoelectro-Fenton process. The PEF process with the lowest j (100 mA cm-2) showed the best performance-mineralization current efficiency.

Abstract
Textile wastewater entering natural water bodies could cause serious environment and health issues. Bio-electro-Fenton (BEF) as an efficient and energy saving wastewater treatment technology has recently attracted widespread attention. So far, there is no research available on the scaling-up of BEF process. In this work, an innovative 20 L up-scaled BEF system was constructed for the treatment of methylene blue (MB) containing wastewater. The system was first tested in batch mode. The results showed that the system performance was majorly related to the operating parameters including initial MB concentration, catholyte pH and concentration, cathodic aeration rate, Fe2+ dosage, and applied voltage. At the optimal condition, 20 mg L-1 of MB was efficiently removed following the apparent first order kinetics. The corresponding rate constants for the decolorization and mineralization were 0.68 and 0.20 h-1, respectively. Furthermore, MB decolorization efficiency of 99% and mineralization efficiency of 74% were observed when the hydraulic retention time was 28 h in continuous mode. This work demonstrates the scaling-up potential of BEF for recalcitrant wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) have pernicious effects on all kinds of life forms because of their toxicological effects and are found profoundly in various wastewater treatment plant influents, hospital effluents, and surface waters. The concentrations of different pharmaceuticals were found in alarmingly high concentrations in various parts of the globe, and it was also observed that the concentration of PhACs present in the water could be eventually related to the socio-economic conditions and climate of the region. Drinking water equivalent limit for each PhAC has been calculated and compared with the occurrence data from various continents. Since these compounds are recalcitrant towards conventional treatment methods, while advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have shown better efficiency in degrading these PhACs. The performance of the AOPs have been evaluated based on percentage removal, time, and electrical energy consumed to degrade different classes of PhACs. Ozone based AOPs were found to be favorable because of their low treatment time, low cost, and high efficiency. However, complete degradation cannot be achieved by these processes, and various transformation products are formed, which may be more toxic than the parent compounds. The various transformation products formed from various PhACs during treatment have been highlighted. Significant stress has been given on the role of various process parameters, water matrix, oxidizing radicals, and the mechanism of degradation. Presence of organic compounds, nitrate, and phosphate usually hinders the degradation process, while chlorine and sulfate showed a positive effect. The role of individual oxidizing radicals, interfering ions, and pH demonstrated dissimilar effects on different groups of PhACs.

Abstract
A high quality activated carbon was developed from biological sludge of a beverage wastewater treatment plant (BWTP). The material was characterized and its adsorption potential to remove Allura Red AC and Crystal Violet dyes from aqueous media was verified. The ACBS (activated carbon from beverage sludge) revealed mesoporous features, presenting average pore diameter of 6.32 nm, pore volume of 0.5098 cm3 g-1 and surface area of 631.8 m2 g-1. Adsorption was adequate using 0.25 g L -1 of ACBS, and, the process was favored at pH 2.0 for Allura Red AC and pH 8.0 for Crystal Violet. From the kinetic viewpoint, the data were satisfactorily represented by the pseudo-second order model. Freundlich and Sips models were suitable to represent the adsorption equilibrium of the Allura Red and Crystal Violet, respectively. The maximum values for adsorption capacities were 287.1 mg g-1 for Allura Red and 640.7 mg g-1 for Crystal Violet. The adsorption of both dyes was thermodynamically spontaneous, favorable and endothermic. In brief, the residual sludge of a wastewater treatment plant may be used as an eco-friendly precursor for ACBS production. ACBS was an efficient adsorbent material able to uptake dyes from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Photoelectrocatalysis provides an excellent frame for the application of photocatalytic nanostructured materials on easy recoverable supports. This study reports the two-step synthesis of hierarchically nanostructured ZnO/Ag composite photoelectrodes. Wurtzite ZnO was selectively electronucleated as spheroidal seeds on fluor doped tin oxide substrates and nanodecorated with Ag nanoclusters under electrochemical control. Hierarchically organized nanorods were selectively chemically grown on the plane (002) perpendicular to the substrate from ZnO/Ag seeds. Solutions emulating dye effluents with the usual contents of 0.1 M of NaCl and a model azo dye (Methyl Orange) were decolorized using ZnO/Ag nanorods in different treatments. Photocatalysis attained discrete decolorizations of 8% whereas photoelectrocatalysis completely decolorized solutions after 60 min. The influence of the metal/semiconductor interface (ZnO/Ag) as introduced Schottky barrier is studied demonstrating a four-fold enhancement on decolorization kinetics respect bare ZnO nanorods. The influence of the seed growth control on the final photoelectrocatalytic response is reported to control the hierarchical organization of nanorods. This resulted in different decolorization kinetics as result of the differences on the efficient use of the delivered photons conditioned by the photoelectrode structure.

Degradation of 4-aminoantipyrine by electro-oxidation with a boron-doped diamond anode: Optimization by central composite design, oxidation products and toxicity. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2018; 631-632:1079-1088. [PMID: 29727934 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.03.092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2017] [Revised: 02/12/2018] [Accepted: 03/09/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Electro-oxidation with electrogenerated H2O2 (EO-H2O2) was applied to treat acidic aqueous solutions of 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AA), a persistent drug metabolite of dipyrone, in sulfate medium. Trials were made using a boron-doped diamond anode in the presence of H2O2 electrogenerated on site. A 24 central composite design (CCD) was employed to evaluate the effect of four independent variables, namely current density (j), pH, 4-AA concentration and electrolysis time, on the percentages of degradation and mineralization, as well as on mineralization current efficiency (MCE). Predicted responses agreed with observed values, showing linear trendlines with good R2 and R2adj values. The degradation was optimum at j=77.5mAcm-2, pH3.5 and 62.5mgL-1 4-AA, leading to 63% and 99% removal after 3 and 7min, respectively. For those solutions, the largest mineralization was found at j=77.5mAcm-2, attaining 45% abatement at 175min. Low MCE values were obtained in all electrolyses. An initial route for 4-AA degradation is proposed based on one dimer and eleven aromatic and aliphatic intermediates detected in the treated solutions at pH3.5 by LC-MS. The initial 62.5mgL-1 solution at pH3.5 presented acute toxicity on Artemia salina larvae, with LC50=13.6mgL-1, being substantially reduced after 3 and 7min of EO-H2O2 at j=77.5mAcm-2 due to the formation of less toxic derivatives.

Abstract
This work compares the ability of physical and chemical treatments, namely adsorption and electrochemical advanced oxidation processes, to remove tyrosol from aqueous medium. Adsorption on graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) performed much better than that with a graphite intercalation compound. Adsorption isotherms were found to follow the Freundlich model (R2 = 0.96), which is characteristic of a chemisorption process. Successful electrochemical regeneration enables 5 successive adsorption/regeneration cycles before corrosion of GNPs occurs. Other typical aromatic contaminants that may coexist with tyrosol can be also adsorbed on GNPs. Percentage of regeneration efficiency of GNPs showed a higher affinity towards Lewis acids group compounds and a lower one towards Lewis base. The treatment of 100 mL of 0.723 mM tyrosol solutions in non-chlorinated and chlorinated matrices at pH 3.0 was carried out by electrochemical oxidation with electrogenerated H2O2 (EO-H2O2), electro-Fenton (EF) and UVA photoelectro-Fenton (PEF). Trials were made with a BDD anode and an air-diffusion cathode at 10-30 mA cm-2. Hydroxyl radicals formed at the anode from water oxidation and/or in the bulk from Fenton's reaction between added Fe2+ and generated H2O2, along with active chlorine produced in chlorinated medium, were the main oxidants. Tyrosol concentration always decayed following a pseudo-first-order kinetics and its mineralization rose as EO-H2O2 < EF < PEF, more rapidly in the chlorinated matrix. The potent photolysis of intermediates under UVA radiation explained the almost total mineralization achieved by PEF in the latter medium. The effect of current density and tyrosol content on the performance of all processes was examined.

Abstract
In this work, the novel pulse "electrosorption-electrooxidation-electrosorption" (PESO) mode is developed in the superimposed pulse current system for benzoic acid oxidation. Due to the synergistic effect of electrosorption and electrooxidation at TiO2-NTs/3D-SnO2-Sb electrode in PESO mode, the enhancement of removal efficiency, improvement in mass transport and decrease of energy consumption were significantly obvious. The mechanism for the great enhancement of the mode is analyzed in details. The strengthened interaction between electrode and organics, increased instantaneous currents and lower intermediate accumulation contributed to the significant enhancement of electrochemical performance of the superimposed pulse system. The pulse PESO mode was an efficient and promising method for treating organic pollutants.

Abstract
A commercial sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim formulation has been degraded in 0.050 M Na2SO4 at pH 3.0 by electrochemical oxidation with electrogenerated H2O2 (EO-H2O2), electro-Fenton (EF), photoelectro-Fenton with a 6-W UVA lamp (PEF) and solar photoelectro-Fenton (SPEF). The tests were performed in an undivided cell with an IrO2-based, Pt or boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode and an air-diffusion cathode for H2O2 electrogeneration. The anode material had little effect on the accumulated H2O2 concentration. Both drugs always obeyed a pseudo-first-order decay with low apparent rate constant in EO-H2O2. Much higher values were found in EF, PEF and SPEF, showing no difference because the main oxidant was always OH formed from Fenton's reaction between H2O2 and added Fe2+. The solution mineralization increased in the sequence EO-H2O2 < EF < PEF < SPEF regardless of the anode. The IrO2-based and Pt anodes behaved similarly but BDD was always more powerful. In SPEF, similar mineralization profiles were found for all anodes because of the rapid removal of photoactive intermediates by sunlight. About 87% mineralization was obtained as maximum for the powerful SPEF with BDD anode. Addition of Cl- enhanced the decay of both drugs due to their quicker reaction with generated active chlorine, but the formation of persistent chloroderivatives decelerated the mineralization process. Final carboxylic acids like oxalic and oxamic were detected, yielding Fe(III) complexes that remained stable in EF with BDD but were rapidly photolyzed in SPEF with BDD, explaining its superior mineralization ability.

Abstract
The electrochemical degradation of tetracaine hydrochloride has been studied in urban wastewater. Treatments in simulated matrix with similar ionic composition as well as in 0.050 M Na2SO4 were comparatively performed. The cell contained an air-diffusion cathode for H2O2 electrogeneration and an anode selected among active Pt, IrO2-based and RuO2-based materials and non-active boron-doped diamond (BDD). Electrochemical oxidation with electrogenerated H2O2 (EO-H2O2), electro-Fenton (EF) and photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) were comparatively assessed at pH 3.0 and constant current density. The pharmaceutical and its byproducts were oxidized by OH formed from water oxidation at the anode surface and in the bulk from Fenton's reaction, which occurred upon addition of 0.50 mM Fe2+ in all media, along with active chlorine originated from the anodic oxidation of Cl- contained in the simulated matrix and urban wastewater. The PEF process was the most powerful treatment regardless of the electrolyte composition, owing to the additional photolysis of intermediates by UVA radiation. The use of BDD led to greater mineralization compared to other anodes, being feasible the total removal of all organics from urban wastewater by PEF at long electrolysis time. Chlorinated products were largely recalcitrant when Pt, IrO2-based or RuO2-based anodes were used, whereas they were effectively destroyed by BDD(OH). Tetracaine decay always obeyed a pseudo-first-order kinetics, being slightly faster with the RuO2-based anode in Cl- media because of the higher amounts of active chlorine produced. Total nitrogen and concentrations of NH4+, NO3-, ClO3-, ClO4- and active chlorine were determined to clarify the behavior of the different electrodes in PEF. Eight intermediates were identified by GC-MS and fumaric and oxalic acids were quantified as final carboxylic acids by ion-exclusion HPLC, allowing the proposal of a plausible reaction sequence for tetracaine mineralization by PEF in Cl--containing medium.

Abstract
Electrochemical water treatment technologies are highly promising to achieve complete decolorization of dyebath effluents, as demonstrated by several studies reported in the literature. However, these works are focused on the treatment of one model pollutant and generalize the performances of the processes which are not transposable since they depend on the pollutant treated. Thus, in the present study, we evaluate, for the first time, the influence of different functional groups that modify the dye structure on the electrochemical process decolorization performance. The textile azo dyes Reactive Orange 16, Reactive Violet 4, Reactive Red 228, and Reactive Black 5 have been selected because they present the same molecular basis structure with different functional groups. The results demonstrate that the functional groups that reduce the nucleophilicity of the pollutant hinder the electrophilic attack of electrogenerated hydroxyl radical. Thereby, the overall decolorization efficiency is consequently reduced as well as the decolorization rate. Moreover, the presence of an additional chromophore azo bond in the molecule enhances the recalcitrant character of the azo dyes as pollutants. The formation of a larger and more stable conjugated π system increases the activation energy required for the electrophyilic attack of •OH, affecting the performance of electrochemical technologies on effluent decolorization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Annually, large quantities of dyes are produced and consumed in different industries. The discharge of highly colored textile effluents to the aquatic environments causes serious health problems in living organisms. This paper investigates the performance of each of the electro-oxidation and electro-reduction pathways in the removal of reactive red 120 (RR120) from synthetic textile effluents using a novel electrochemical reactor. METHODS In the current study, a two-compartment reactor divided by cellulosic separator was applied in batch mode using graphite anodes and stainless steel cathodes. Central Composite Design was used to design the experiments and find the optimal conditions. The operational parameters were initial dye concentration (100-500 mg L-1), sodium chloride concentration (2500-12,500 mg L-1), electrolysis time (7.5-37.5 min), and current intensity (0.06-0.3 A). RESULTS The results showed that electro-oxidation was much more efficient than electro-reduction in the removal of RR120. According to the developed models, current intensity was the most effective factor on the electro-oxidation of RR120 as well as in power consumption (Coefficients of 12.06 and 0.73, respectively). With regard to the dye removal through electro-reduction, electrolysis time (coefficient of 8.05) was the most influential factor. Under optimal conditions (RR120 = 200 mg.L-1, NaCl = 7914.29 mg.L-1, current intensity = 0.12 A, and reaction time = 30 min), the dye was removed as 99.44 and 32.38% via electro-oxidation and electro-reduction mechanisms, respectively, with consuming only 1.21 kwhm-3 of electrical energy. CONCLUSIONS According to the results, electro-oxidation using graphite anodes in a cell divided by cellulosic separator is very efficient, compared to electro-reduction, in the removal of RR120 from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
In this study, an electrochemical/electro-Fenton oxidation (EC/EF) system was designed to degrade atrazine, by utilizing boron-doped diamond (BDD) and Fe@Fe2O3 core-shell nanowires loaded active carbon fiber (Fe@Fe2O3/ACF) as the anode and the cathode, respectively. This EC/EF system exhibited much higher degradation rate, decholorination and mineralization efficiency of atrazine than the electrochemical (EC) and electrochemical/traditional electro-Fenton (EC/TEF) oxidation counterpart systems without Fe@Fe2O3 core-shell nanowires. Active species trapping experiment revealed that Fe@Fe2O3 could activate molecular oxygen to produce more OH through Fenton reaction, which favored the atrazine degradation. High performance liquid chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were applied to probe the decomposition and mineralization of atrazine during this novel EC/EF process, which revealed that two intermediates of triazinons (the isomerization of hydroxylated atrazine) were generated during the electrochemical/electro-Fenton oxidation of atrazine in the presence of Fe@Fe2O3 core-shell nanowires. The experimental and theoretical calculation results suggested that atrazine might be degraded via a triazinon ring opening mechanism, while the presence of Fe@Fe2O3 notably accelerated the decholorination process, and produced more hydroxylated products to promote the generation of trazinons and the subsequent ring cleavage as well as the final complete mineralization. This work provides a deep insight into the triazine ring opening mechanism and the design of efficient electrochemical advanced oxidation technologies (EAOTs) for persistent organic pollutant removal.

Electrochemical destruction of trans-cinnamic acid by advanced oxidation processes: kinetics, mineralization, and degradation route. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 24:6071-6082. [PMID: 26762939 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-015-6035-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2015] [Accepted: 12/29/2015] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
Acidic solutions of trans-cinnamic acid at pH 3.0 have been comparatively treated by anodic oxidation with electrogenerated H2O2 (AO-H2O2), electro-Fenton (EF), and photoelectro-Fenton (PEF). The electrolytic experiments were carried out with a boron-doped diamond (BDD)/air-diffusion cell. The substrate was very slowly abated by AO-H2O2 because of its low reaction rate with oxidizing •OH produced from water discharge at the BDD anode. In contrast, its removal was very rapid and at similar rate by EF and PEF due to the additional oxidation by •OH in the bulk, formed from Fenton's reaction between cathodically generated H2O2 and added Fe2+. The AO-H2O2 treatment yielded the lowest mineralization. The EF process led to persistent final products like Fe(III) complexes, which were quickly photolyzed upon UVA irradiation in PEF to give an almost total mineralization with 98 % total organic carbon removal. The effect of current density and substrate concentration on all the mineralization processes was examined. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of electrolyzed solutions allowed identifying five primary aromatics and one heteroaromatic molecule, whereas final carboxylic acids like fumaric, acetic, and oxalic were quantified by ion exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). From all the products detected, a degradation route for trans-cinnamic acid is proposed.

Abstract
The degradation of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, a ubiquitous component of olive oil mill wastewater (OOMW), has been studied by anodic oxidation with electrogenerated H2O2 (AO-H2O2), electro-Fenton (EF) and photoelectro-Fenton (PEF). Experiments were performed in either a 0.050M Na2SO4 solution or a real OOMW at pH 3.0, using a cell with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode and an air-diffusion cathode for H2O2 generation. Hydroxyl radicals formed at the BDD surface from water oxidation in all processes and/or in the bulk from Fenton's reaction between added Fe2+ and generated H2O2 in EF and PEF were the main oxidants. In both matrices, the oxidation ability of the processes increased in the order AO-H2O2<EF<PEF. The superiority of PEF was due to the photolytic action of UVA radiation on photosensitive by-products, as deduced from the quick removal of Fe(III)-oxalate complexes. The effect of current density and organic content on the performance of all treatments was examined. 4-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid decay obeyed a pseudo-first-order kinetics. The PEF treatment of 1.03mM 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid in 0.050M Na2SO4 allowed 98% mineralization at 360min even at low current density, whereas 80% mineralization and a significant enhancement of biodegradability were achieved with the real OOMW.

Abstract
Solutions of pH 3.0 containing trans-ferulic acid, a phenolic compound in olive oil mill wastewater, have been comparatively degraded by anodic oxidation with electrogenerated H2O2 (AO-H2O2), electro-Fenton (EF) and photoelectro-Fenton (PEF). Trials were performed with a BDD/air-diffusion cell, where oxidizing OH was produced from water discharge at the BDD anode and/or in the solution bulk from Fenton's reaction between cathodically generated H2O2 and added catalytic Fe(2+). The substrate was very slowly removed by AO-H2O2, whereas it was very rapidly abated by EF and PEF, at similar rate in both cases, due to its fast reaction with OH in the bulk. The AO-H2O2 process yielded a slightly lower mineralization than EF, which promoted the accumulation of barely oxidizable products like Fe(III) complexes. In contrast, the fast photolysis of these latter species under irradiation with UVA light in PEF led to an almost total mineralization with 98% total organic carbon decay. The effect of current density and substrate concentration on the performance of all treatments was examined. Several solar PEF (SPEF) trials showed its viability for the treatment of wastewater containing trans-ferulic acid at larger scale. Four primary aromatic products were identified by GC-MS analysis of electrolyzed solutions, and final carboxylic acids like fumaric, acetic and oxalic were detected by ion-exclusion HPLC. A reaction sequence for trans-ferulic acid mineralization involving all the detected products is finally proposed.
