Abstract
Mono and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are widely distributed and severely pollute the aqueous environment due to natural and human activities, particularly human activity. It is crucial to identify and address them in order to reduce the dangers and threats they pose to biological processes and ecosystems. In the fields of sensor detection and water treatment, electrochemistry plays a crucial role as a trustworthy and environmentally friendly technology. In order to accomplish trace detection while enhancing detection accuracy and precision, researchers have created and studied sensors using a range of materials based on electrochemical processes, and their results have demonstrated good performance. One cannot overlook the challenges associated with treating aromatic pollutants, including mono and polycyclic. Much work has been done and good progress has been achieved in order to address these challenges. This study discusses the mono and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon sensor detection and electrochemical treatment technologies for contaminants in the aqueous environment. Additionally mentioned are the sources, distribution, risks, hazards, and problems in the removal of pollutants. The obstacles to be overcome and the future development plans of the field are then suggested by summarizing and assessing the research findings of the researchers.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 906:167538. [PMID: 37797755 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023]
Abstract
Although banned in some countries, p-arsanilic acid (ASA) is still widely used as feed additive in poultry production. As a result, ASA is usually released into the aquatic environment without any treatments. Although ASA exhibits low toxicity, it can be transformed into highly toxic aromatic amines and inorganic arsenic species (As (V) as H2AsO4- and HAsO42-) under natural environmental conditions. Hence, it is necessary to develop efficient technologies for its removal or degradation. In this contribution, electrochemical advanced oxidation technology with boron-doped diamond (BDD) had been initially used to degrade ASA pollutants. A five-level central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was implemented to optimize the various influencing factors involved, among applied current density, NaCl concentration, Na2SO4 concentration and NaHCO3 concentration on the oxidation efficiency; the latter was assessed in terms of ASA degradation percentage. The results obtained highlighted the unique and important roles of electrolytes during the electrolytic oxidations. Meanwhile, the major degradation byproducts detected were also strongly dependent on the electrolyte adopted. In particular, several oligomer byproducts with novel structures were initially identified in BDD-treated ASA solutions. Two different electrochemical transformation pathways of ASA on BDD anode were thus proposed. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of BDD technology in the degradation of ASA, as well as the potential minor risk of its application in actual ASA wastewater treatment.

Efficient adsorption of Congo red by micro/nano MIL-88A (Fe, Al, Fe-Al)/chitosan composite sponge: Preparation, characterization, and adsorption mechanism. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 239:124157. [PMID: 36965569 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/27/2023]
Abstract
MIL-88A crystals with three different metal ligands (Fe, Al, FeAl) were prepared by hydrothermal method for the first time. The three materials' crystal structure and surface morphology are different, leading to different adsorption properties of Congo red (CR). The maximum adsorption capacities of MIL-88A (Fe), MIL-88A (FeAl), and MIL-88A (Al) are 607.7 mg · g-1, 536.4 mg · g-1, and 512.1 mg · g-1 respectively. In addition, MIL-88A was combined with chitosan (CS) respectively, and MIL-88A/CS composite sponge was prepared by the freeze-drying method, which not only solved the defect that MIL-88A powder was difficult to recover but also further improved the removal ability of CR by the adsorbent. The maximum adsorption capacities of MIL-88A (FeAl)/CS, MIL-88A (Fe)/CS, MIL-88A (Al)/CS, and CS are 1312 mg · g-1, 1056 mg · g-1, 996.7 mg · g-1, and 769.6 mg · g-1, respectively. The structure and physicochemical properties of the materials were analyzed by SEM, FTIR, XRD, TGA, BET, and Zeta. The adsorption process of CR follows pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir, Sips isotherm model. Combined with thermodynamic parameters, the adsorption behavior was described as endothermic monomolecular chemical adsorption. The removal of CR is attributed to electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, metal coordination effects, and size-matching effects.

Abstract
Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) is considered to be an efficacious method to degrade antibiotics. However, the performance of the anode has become the main limiting factor of this technology. In this study, due to the electron-deficient characteristics and the improvement of OER performance of Mo, we chose to use thermal decomposition to incorporate Mo into IrO2 to prepare anodes with industrial applicability. Under the optimal ratio of Ir to Mo is 7:3, (Ir0.7Mo0.3)Ox electrode's particular pore structure can expose more active sites and create a channel for the transportation of electrons, thereby promoting the formation of free radicals and degrading pollutants more efficiently. (Ir0.7Mo0.3)Ox electrode also has a higher mass activity (6.332 A g-1, three times that of the IrO2 electrode) and a larger electrochemical active area (ECSA, 375.43 cm2, seven times that of the IrO2 electrode). In addition, the optimal conditions of (Ir0.7Mo0.3)Ox electrode for degrading sulfadiazine(SDZ) were explored, which achieved a higher removal than traditional electrodes (90% removal within 4 h) when the Ti plate was the substrate. Through the intermediate products of SDZ degradation and related literatures, two possible degradation pathways of SDZ were speculated. This research provides a new type of anode catalyst for the degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics, which is possible for industrial application.

Abstract
The activation of oxygen (O2) under room condition is important for the utilization of air to perform oxidation. Here, we report a porous carbon-encapsulated MnO (MnO@C) derived from Mn metal-organic framework (MOF)grown in-situ on a graphite felt (GF) support. The MnO@C exhibits superior catalytic activity in an electric field-assisted catalytic oxidation system for the degradation of organic pollutants under room condition. The catalytic oxidation reaction applies a surface reaction pathway in which the surface-bound chemisorbed oxygen species are electro-oxidized and then involved in the oxidation of co-adsorbed organic pollutants. The abundant oxygen vacancies and oxygenated functional groups in MnO@C provide active sites for the chemisorption of O2, and its conductive mesoporous structure allows facile electrons and mass transfer. As a result, the MnO@C/GF catalyst displays quite high turnover frequency (TOF) value as 0.038 mg-TOC mg-MnO-1 min-1, which is 6.66 times higher than that of the MnO/GF catalyst prepared by impregnation method as a comparison. With the aid of + 1.0 V of positive electric field, the catalytic oxidation system exhibits extensive effectiveness in mineralizing a variety of dyes, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and phenolic compounds under room condition with significantly enhanced biodegradability.

Abstract
Abstract
The review focuses on the recent development in anode materials and their synthesis approach, focusing on their compatibility for treating actual industrial wastewater, improving selectivity, electrocatalytic activity, stability at higher concentration, and thereby reducing the mineralization cost for organic pollutant degradation. The advancement in sol–gel technique, including the Pechini method, is discussed in the first section. A separate discussion related to the selection of the electrodeposition method and its deciding parameters is also included. Furthermore, the effect of using advanced heating approaches, including microwave and laser deposition synthesis, is also discussed. Next, a separate discussion is provided on using different types of anode materials and their effect on active •OH radical generation, activity, and electrode stability in direct and indirect oxidation and future aspects. The effect of using different synthesis approaches, additives, and doping is discussed separately for each anode. Graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and metal doping enhance the number of active sites, electrochemical activity, and mineralization current efficiency (MCE) of the anode. While, microwave or laser heating approaches were proved to be an effective, cheaper, and fast alternative to conventional heating. The electrodeposition and nonaqueous solvent synthesis were convenient and environment-friendly techniques for conductive metallic and polymeric film deposition.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been widely detected in wastewater and surface water, indicating that the removal of NSAIDs by wastewater treatment plants was not efficient. Electrochemical advanced oxidation technology is considered to be an effective process. This study presents an investigation of the kinetics, mechanism, and influencing factors of diclofenac (DCF) degradation by an electrochemical process with boron-doped diamond anodes. Relative operating parameters and water quality parameters are examined. It appears that the degradation follows the pseudo-first-order degradation kinetics. DCF degradation was accelerated with the increase of pH from 6 to 10. The degradation was promoted by the addition of electrolyte concentrations and current density. Humic acid and bicarbonate significantly inhibited the degradation, whereas chloride accelerated it. According to the quenching tests, hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and sulfate radicals contributed 76.5% and 6.5%, respectively, to the degradation. Sodium sulfate remains a more effective electrolyte, compared to sodium nitrate and sodium phosphate, suggesting the quenching effect of nitrate and phosphate on •OH. Major DCF transformation products were identified. According to the degradation products detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, hydroxylation and decarboxylation are the main pathways of DCF degradation; while dechlorination, chlorination, and nitro substitution are also included in this electrochemical degradation process.

Abstract
The anodic oxidation (AO) of 30 pharmaceuticals including antibiotics, hormones, antihistaminics, anti-inflammatories, antidepressants, antihypertensives, and antiulcer agents, in solutions containing different supporting electrolytes media (0.05 M Na2SO4, 0.05 M NaCl, and 0.05 M Na2SO4 + 0.05 M NaCl) at natural pH was studied. A boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode and a stainless-steel electrode were used as anode and cathode, respectively, and three current densities of 6, 20, and 40 mA cm-2 were applied. The results showed high mineralization rates, above 85%, in all the tested electrolytic media. 25 intermediaries produced during the electrooxidation were identified, depending on the supporting electrolyte together with the formation of carboxylic acids, NO3-, SO42- and NH4+ ions. The formation of intermediates in chloride medium produced an increase in absorbance. Finally, a real secondary effluent spiked with the 30 pharmaceuticals was treated by AO applying 6 mA cm-2 at natural pH and without addition of supporting electrolyte, reaching c.a. 90% mineralization after 300 min, with an energy consumption of 18.95 kW h m-3 equivalent to 2.90 USD m-3. A degradation scheme for the mixture of emerging contaminants in both electrolytic media is proposed. Thus, the application of anodic oxidation generates a high concentration of hydroxyl radicals that favors the mineralization of the pharmaceuticals present in the spiked secondary effluent sample.

Abstract
Photoelectrocatalysis is a novel technique that combines heterogeneous photocatalysis with the application of an electric field to the system through electrodes for the degradation of organic contaminants in aqueous systems, mainly of toxic dyes. The efficiency of these combined processes depends on the semiconductor properties of the catalysts, as well as on the anodic capacity of the electrode. In this study, we propose the use of active hydrotalcites in the degradation of Congo red dye through processes assisted by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and electric current. Our research focused on evaluating the degradation capacity of Congo red by means of photolysis, catalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and photoelectrocatalysis, as well as identifying the effect of the properties of the active hydrotalcites in these processes. The results show that a maximum degradation was reached with the photoelectrocatalysis process with active hydrotalcites and a copper anode at 6 h with 95% in a half-life of 0.36 h. The degradation is favored by the attack of the OH• radicals under double bonds in the diazo groups where the electrode produces Cu2+ ions, and with the photogenerated electrons, the recombination speed of the electron–hole in the hydrotalcite catalyst is reduced until the complete degradation.

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.

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.

Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation has been considered as an efficient method to degrade pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Maintaining low power consumption while increasing the number of oxidation intermediates is deserving of exploring. Herein, Ti/SnO2-Sb/Zr0.3Ir0.7O2 was prepared by Zr doped into IrO2 and used for Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. The addition of Zr significantly increased the electrochemically active area and facilitated the catalyst to degrade SMX dramatically at a lower overpotential. The extremely outstanding lifetime of catalysts can reach 800 h during the accelerated life test, which showed excellent stability and developmental prospects. The overpotential at 10 mA·cm-2 is about 329 mV, indicating that this electrode has a high oxygen evolution reaction activity. Furthermore, the electrical efficiency per log order for the electrode is only 8.50 kW h m-3 at 4 V. Our research provides new anode electrochemical catalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants.

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
Large volumes of contaminated water are produced via intentional and unintentional incidents, including terrorist attacks, natural disasters and accidental spills. Contaminated waters could contain harmful chemicals, which present management and disposal challenges. This study investigates three Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) - UV/H2O2, O3/H2O2, and electrochemical oxidation using a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode - to treat eleven contaminants including herbicides, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and flame retardant compounds. To address treatment and toxicity concerns, this study focuses on the resulting microbial toxicity via Microtox® toxicity and Nitrification Inhibition tests. The results suggest four functional Microtox® toxicity categories upon AOP treatment, which are useful for streamlining AOP selection for specific applications. Except for one compound, the O3/H2O2 and UV/H2O2 AOPs achieved, within experimental error, 100% parent compound degradation during 2 h of treatment for all contaminants, as well as Microtox® toxicities that declined below 10% by the end of the treatment. In addition, anodic oxidation with a BDD electrode exhibited slower degradation and some increases in Microtox® toxicity. Only one compound exhibited above 50% Nitrification Inhibition, indicating the robustness of activated sludge to many contaminated and AOP-treated waters. These results indicate that AOP pre-treatment can be a viable strategy to facilitate drain disposal of contaminated waters, but that eco-toxicity may remain a concern.

Abstract
The activation of oxygen (O2) under room condition is highly desirable for oxidative removal of organic pollutants in water. Herein, we report a graphite felt (GF)-supported α-MnO2 catalyst which is active for activating O2 with assistance of an anodic electric field. The electro-assisted catalytic wet air oxidation (ECWAO) process on MnO2/GF is able to rapidly degrade a variety of dyes, pharmaceutics and personal care products (PPCPs) under room condition. The congo red, basic fuchsin, neutral red and methylene blue are completely mineralized in 160 min, and the bisphenol A, triclosan and ciprofloxacin are mineralized by 89.9%, 81.5% and 65.4%, respectively, in 300 min. Mechanistic study indicates a surface-catalyzed non-free radical pathway for the oxidation of organic pollutants by O2 in the ECWAO process. The oxygen vacancies on MnO2 are identified as the catalytically active sites, at which oxygen atom is transferred from O2 to organic molecule through chemisorbed oxygen species. The anodic electric field assists such an oxygen transfer pathway by activating the complex of chemisorbed oxygen species and organic molecule through electro-oxidation reaction. The ECWAO process on MnO2/GF electrode exhibits a great potential for practical wastewater treatment under room condition.

Abstract
Oxygen (O2) in air is an eco-friendly and economical oxidant. However, its activation is an energy-intensive process requiring high operation temperature. Herein, we report the synthesis of nanoscaled Co-CoO on a graphite felt (GF) as an anode material for electrocatalytic wet air oxidation (ECWAO) of water contaminants at room temperature. Such an ECWAO process shows extensive effectiveness in mineralizing a variety of biorefractory organic pollutants. A probe pollutant, bisphenol A (BPA), is rapidly degraded in 180 min with mineralization efficiencies higher than 85% over a wide pH range from 3.0 to 11.0. The Co-CoO/GF electrode exhibits excellent stability in the ECWAO process, without loss of activity and leaching of metal. The ECWAO process is confirmed to be initiated by the electrochemical activation of O2 through a non-radical pathway. The CoO on the surface of Co nanoparticle is identified as the catalytically active site, at which O2 molecules are first converted to chemisorbed oxygen species and then electrochemically oxidized to their activated states. The ECWAO process with the Co-CoO/GF electrode presents the merits of high efficiency, low energy input and environmental friendliness, and has a great potential for practical wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Ozonation of chloride-rich textile wastewater is a common pretreatment practice in order to increase biodegradability and therefore meet the discharge limits. This study is the first to investigate ozone-chloride/bromide interactions and formation of hazardous adsorbable organic halogens (AOX) in real textile wastewater. Initially effect of ozonation on chloride-rich real textile wastewater samples were investigated for adsorbable organic halogens (AOX) formation, biodegradability and toxicity. After 15 min of ozonation, maximum levels of chlorine/bromine generation (0.3 mg/l) and AOX formation (399 mg/l) were reached. OUR and SOUR levels both increased by approximately 58%. Daphnia magna toxicity peaked at 100% for 10 min ozonated sample. Considering adverse effects of ozonation on chloride-rich textile industry effluents, we proposed replacement of NaCl with Na2SO4. Comparative ozonation experiments were carried out for both chloride and sulfate containing synthetic dyeing wastewater samples. Results showed that use of sulfate in reactive dyeing increased biodegradability and decreased acute toxicity. Although sulfate is preferred over chloride for more effective dyeing performance, the switch has been hampered due to sodium sulfate's higher unit cost. However, consideration of indirect costs such as contributions to biodegradability, toxicity, water and salt recovery shall facilitate textile industry's switch from chloride to sulfate.

CHEMOSPHERE 2019; 217:26-34. [PMID: 30396047 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.10.161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2018] [Revised: 10/21/2018] [Accepted: 10/22/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
This study deals with the electrochemical degradation of Amaranth in aqueous solution by means of stainless steel (SS) electrodes coated with a SiOx interlayer deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition and a modified PbO2 top layer deposited by continuous galvanostatic electrodeposition. The morphological characterization of the PbO2 top-layer performed by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope put in evidence that the SiOx, interlayer allows obtaining a more integrated PbO2/SS electrode with a very homogeneous PbO2 film. The composition of the lead oxide layer was investigated by X-ray Diffractometry, showing that the β-PbO2/α-PbO2 ratio in the top layer deposited on the SiOx film was four times higher respect to the one deposited directly on the stainless steel surface. In addition, the electrochemical behaviour of SS/SiOx/PbO2 interfaces was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The EIS results showed that the presence of SiOx favors electron transfer within the oxide layer which improves electro-oxidation capability. Moreover, bulk electrolysis showed that over 100% colour removal and 84% COD removal, using SS/SiOx/PbO2 at acidic pH were reached after 300 min. High Performance Liquid Chromatography analysis was used for the quantitative determinations of initial Amaranth dye molecule removal and to evaluate its specific degradation rate. In order to evaluate the phototoxicity of treated solution with different by-products, different tests of germination were performed and proved that the electrochemical treatment with modified PbO2 could be as an efficient technology for reducing hazardous wastewater toxicity and able to produce water available for reuse.

Abstract
Efficient anode materials with porous structures have drawn increasing attention due to their high specific surface area, which can compensate for the slow reaction rate of electrochemical oxidation. However, the use of these materials is often limited due to their poor corrosion resistance. Herein, we report a facile scale-up method, by carbothermal reduction, for the preparation of porous niobium carbide to be used as an anode for the electrochemical oxidation of phenol in water. No niobium ions were detected when the anodes were under aggressive attack by sulfuric acid and under electrochemical corrosion tests with a current density less than 20.98 mA cm−2. The porous niobium carbide was further modified by applying a ruthenium oxide coating to improve its catalytic activity. The removal rates of phenol and chemical oxygen demand by the RuO2/NbC anode reached 1.87 × 10−2 mg min−1 cm−2 and 6.33 × 10−2 mg min−1 cm−2, respectively. The average current efficiency was 85.2%. Thus, an anti-corrosion, highly catalytically active and energy-efficient porous RuO2/NbC anode for the degradation of aqueous phenol in wastewater was successfully prepared. Efficient anode materials with porous structures have drawn increasing attention due to their high specific surface area, which can compensate for the slow reaction rate of electrochemical oxidation.![]()

Abstract
Textile wastewater is characterized by high toxicity, complex structure, and resistance to biodegradation. Therefore, advanced oxidation technologies have received extensive attention. However, it is usually difficult to achieve a desired degradation effect using a single technology. The combination of various advanced oxidation technologies is an important way to achieve efficient degradation of organic wastewater. The present investigation was focused on ultrasound enhanced electrochemical oxidation (US-EO) of typical anthracene Alizarin Red S dye on a boron doped diamond anode. Our work indicates that ultrasonic oxidation technology which is mainly based on cavitation, can produce strongly oxidizing active substances such as OH, HO2, O, and H2O2, that accelerate the destruction of the dye molecular structure and achieve dye decolorization and mineralization. The effects on cavitation and decomposition of ARS by the parameters that affect degradation, including solution temperature, initial pH, and electrolytes, were examined. Results show that low temperature was more conducive to ultrasonic cavitation in the US-EO process; the degradation efficiency rate of EO was higher than that of US-EO when the solution temperature was above 45 °C. Ultrasonic cavitation was significantly more efficient in acid than in alkaline conditions. Almost 100% color removal and 86.07% COD removal was achieved for 100 mg L-1 ARS concentration with a 0.05 M Na2SO4 electrolyte, temperature of 30 °C and pH of 4.97 after 3 h. GC-MS analysis showed that the intermediate products of ARS in the US-EO process were phthalic anhydride, PEAs and bisphenol A, which is eventually mineralized to CO2 and H2O.

Abstract
Intentional and unintentional contamination incidents, such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and accidental spills, can result in large volumes of contaminated water. These waters may require pre-treatment before disposal and assurances that treated waters will not adversely impact biological processes at wastewater treatment facilities, or receiving waters. Based on recommendations of an industrial workgroup, this study addresses such concerns by studying electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) pre-treatment for contaminated waters, using a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode, prior to discharge to wastewater treatment facilities. Reaction conditions were investigated, and microbial toxicity was assessed using the Microtox® toxicity assay and the Nitrification Inhibition test. A range of contaminants were studied including herbicides, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and flame retardants. Resulting toxicities varied with supporting electrolyte from 5% to 92%, often increasing, indicating that microbial toxicity, in addition to parent compound degradation, should be monitored during treatment. These toxicity results are particularly novel because they systematically compare the microbial toxicity effects of a variety of supporting electrolytes, indicating some electrolytes may not be appropriate in certain applications. Further, these results are the first known report of the use of the Nitrification Inhibition test for this application. Overall, these results systematically demonstrate that anodic oxidation using the BDD anode is useful for addressing water contaminated with refractory organic contaminants, while minimizing impacts to wastewater plants or receiving waters accepting EAOP-treated effluent. The results of this study indicate nitrate can be a suitable electrolyte for incident response and, more importantly, serve as a baseline for site specific EAOP usage.

Abstract
Carbamazepine (CBZ) is a biorecalcitrant pharmaceutical compound frequently detected in wastewater and water bodies which has numerous negative effects on living organisms. In this investigation the effect of electrocatalytically generated active chlorine on CBZ degradation was studied using Nb/BDD or Ti/IrO2 anodes. Subsequently, a response surface methodology based on a factorial plan and central composite design was carried out to determine the contribution of individual factors and to obtain the optimal experimental parameters for CBZ abatement. Electric current and treatment time were found to be the pivotal parameters influencing the degradation efficiency with respective contributions of 45.19% and 35.44%. The anode material had lower influence on the response, however, using an Nb/BDD anode, the oxidation was more effective due to the increased production of OH radicals as well as HClO, Cl and ClO- species. Considering CBZ degradation and energetic consumption, the percentage of degraded CBZ was 88.70 ± 0.35% consuming 1.07 kWh m-3 (at 1.0 A, NaCl concentration of 14 mM after 12.45 min, using Nb/BDD anode). First order kinetic constant (k) value of 0.189 min-1 was obtained at optimal conditions when demineralized water was used for the NaCl supporting electrolyte, while k was lower when tap water or treated wastewaters were used for this purpose. Oxidation of CBZ yielded six aromatic intermediates, identified by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry technique and degradation pathways were proposed. The performed acute toxicity tests indicated an increase during the treatment, which was demonstrated to be mainly attributed to the remnant active chlorine.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the removal efficiencies of the electrochemical treatment systems as an alternative for the treatment of cardboard plant wastewater (CPW). In accordance with this purpose, CPW was treated by electrocoagulation (EC) with Al electrodes and the effects of current density (CD), operating time (t), and initial pH (pHi) were investigated. The results showed that EC at optimum treatment conditions (CD: 7.5mA/cm2, pHi: 7.0 and t: 60min) have limited removal efficiencies for total organic carbon (TOC; 17.1%) and chemical oxygen demand (COD, 14.2%), on the contrary of turbidity (98.7%). Due to the low TOC and COD removal efficiencies, a secondary treatment was needed and the electrocoagulated effluent was subjected to electrooxidation (EO) by using a boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode for investigating the effect of CD, t, pHi and electrolyte concentration (Ce). Higher TOC (83.7%) and COD (82.9%) removal efficiencies were obtained by EO under the optimum treatment conditions (CD: 100mA/cm2, pHi: 7.2, Ce: 5.0g/L Na2SO4 and t: 180min). In addition, a toxicity test was carried out to the raw and treated wastewater under the optimum operating conditions. This study demonstrated that the combination of EC and EO have a satisfactory potential for real industrial wastewater with a high organic content, suspended solids and toxicity.

Abstract
A novel cryptomelane-Ir (cry-Ir) electrode is prepared for Ir to enter into the cryptomelane (named as cry-Mn) structure and used for aspirin degradation. This catalyst can efficiently reduce the Ir usage from 85 to 34%. Also, the onset potential of cry-Ir is about 1.40 V and the over potential is about 0.34 V at 10 mA cm-2, indicating that cry-Ir has an excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity to produce oxidizing species and can decrease electrolytic voltage during the electro-oxidation process. So, the electrical efficiency per log order (EE/O) for cry-Ir electrode is only 5% of PbO2 electrode, which is the best electrode for organic degradation. Also, cry-Ir has large tunnel size which favors insertion of aspirin molecule into cry-Ir structure and enhances the contact between reactive intermediates and the contaminant. Using cry-Ir as anode, 100% aspirin removal and 55% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal could be obtained at 4 V. We also compare cry-Ir electrode with IrO2 and find that IrO2 anode can only eliminate 20% aspirin under the same condition. As a result, cry-Ir is a promising anode material for organic pollutant degradation. Graphical abstract Aspirin removal after 4h under different voltages.

Abstract
In this study, a laboratory scale for the treatment of a recalcitrant and toxic synthetic wastewater containing diazo dye, acid brown 14 (AB-14) has been comparatively performed by two electro-catalytic treatment processes, namely anodic oxidation (AO) and electrocoagulation (EC) using a new batch electrochemical cell. Additionally, the influence of several operating parameters such as; current density (j), initial dye concentration (Co), NaCl concentration (CN), and pH on the color removal efficiency and chemical oxygen demand (COD) are evaluated. The powerful capability of the AO and EC of AB-14 which related to the mechanistic reaction pathway is shown. The poor degradation is ascribed to higher Co and pH, while the enhancement of j and CN is responsible for better degradation of AB-14 dye. The results indicate that the EC is more effective than AO under the same operational condition. A kinetic model is developed for evaluation of the pseudo-first-order-rate constant (kapp) as a function of various operational parameters. The results emphasize the high efficiency of AO and EC and the clean processes which are hopeful alternative for the treatment of the large volume wastewater of the textile industry.

Abstract
In this study, the degradation of 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and geosmin (GSM) was evaluated by electrochemical oxidation (EO) using boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode. Both 2-MIB and GSM could be degraded efficiently in sulfate electrolyte compared to inert nitrate or perchlorate electrolytes, implying that in-situ generated persulfate may be responsible for contaminants degradation. The observed linear relationship between 2-MIB (GSM) degradation rates and persulfate generation rates further proved that the in-situ generated persulfate enhanced 2-MIB (GSM) degradation. Moreover, a divided electrolytic cell was employed to investigate the effect of cathodic reactions on contaminants degradation and persulfate generation, and results confirmed that both anodic and cathodic reactions participated in 2-MIB (GSM) degradation. High current density and low solution pH were found to be favorable for 2-MIB and GSM degradation. The degradation intermediates were identified and the possible pathways of 2-MIB and GSM degradation were proposed. This study indicated that the EO process with BDD anode could be considered as a potential alternative for the removal of 2-MIB and GSM.

Zhou S, Bu L, Yu Y, Zou X, Zhang Y. A comparative study of microcystin-LR degradation by electrogenerated oxidants at BDD and MMO anodes. CHEMOSPHERE 2016; 165:381-387. [PMID: 27677119 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2016.09.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2016] [Revised: 09/13/2016] [Accepted: 09/14/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the electrochemical degradation of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) using boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode and mixed metal oxides (MMO, IrO2Ta2O5/Ti) anode in different medium. In-situ electrogenerated oxidants including hydroxyl radical, active chlorine, and persulfate were confirmed in phosphate, chloride, and sulfate medium, respectively. Different from MMO anode, hydroxyl radical was observed to play a significant role in chlorine generation at BDD anode in chloride medium. Besides, BDD anode could activate sulfate electrochemically due to its high oxygen evolution potential, and MC-LR degradation rate increased with the decrease of solution pH. The effects of natural organic matters (NOM) and algal organic matters (AOM) on MC-LR degradation were evaluated and NOM presented stronger inhibition ability than AOM. Furthermore, the intermediates generated in MC-LR degradation in chloride and sulfate medium were identified by LC/MS/MS and possible degradation pathways were proposed based on the experiments results. Benzene ring and conjugated diene bonds of Adda group and double bonds of Mhda group were found to be the reactive sites of MC-LR. Overall, this study broadens the knowledge of electrochemical oxidation in removing microcystins in algae-laden water.
