Abstract
Low-temperature thermal degradation of PCDD/Fs for incineration fly ash (IFA), as a novel and emerging technology approach, offers promising features of high degradation efficiency and low energy consumption, presenting enormous potential for application in IFA resource utilization processes. This review summarizes the concentrations, congener distributions, and heterogeneity characteristics of PCDD/Fs in IFA from municipal, medical, and hazardous waste incineration. A comparative analysis of five PCDD/Fs degradation technologies is conducted regarding their characteristics, industrial potential, and applicability. From the perspective of low-temperature degradation mechanisms, pathways to enhance PCDD/Fs degradation efficiency and inhibit their regeneration reactions are discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges to achieve low-temperature degradation of PCDD/Fs for IFA with high-efficiency are prospected. This review seeks to explore new opportunities for the detoxification and resource utilization of IFA by implementing more efficient and viable low-temperature degradation technologies.

Gao H, Kuang X, An B, Liu J, Xu K, Ma H, Leng D, Liu X, Wei Q, Ju H. Highly sensitive photoelectrochemical biosensing detection of early cardiac injury enabled by novel self-assembled Bi 2O 3/MgIn 2S 4 photoelectrode coupled with ZnSnO 3 quencher. Talanta 2024; 276:126272.

Abstract
The development of photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors plays a critical role in enabling timely intervention and personalized treatment for cardiac injury. Herein, a novel approach is presented for the fabrication of highly sensitive PEC biosensor employing Bi2O3/MgIn2S4 heterojunction for the ultrasensitive detection of heart fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP). The Bi2O3/MgIn2S4 heterojunction, synthesized through in-situ growth of MgIn2S4 on Bi2O3 nanoplates, offers superior attributes including a larger specific surface area and more homogeneous distribution, leading to enhanced sensing sensitivity. The well-matched valence and conduction bands of Bi2O3 and MgIn2S4 effectively suppress the recombination of photogenerated carriers and facilitate electron transfer, resulting in a significantly improved photocurrent signal response. And the presence of the secondary antibody marker (ZnSnO3) introduces steric hindrance that hinders electron transfer between ascorbic acid and the photoelectrode, leading to a reduction in photocurrent signal. Additionally, the competition between the ZnSnO3 marker and the Bi2O3/MgIn2S4 heterojunction material for the excitation light source further diminishes the photocurrent signal response. After rigorous repeatability and selectivity tests, the PEC biosensor exhibited excellent performance, and the linear detection range of the biosensor was determined to be 0.05 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a remarkable detection limit of 0.029 pg/mL (S/N = 3).

Review of thermal treatments for the degradation of dioxins in municipal solid waste incineration fly ash: Proposing a suitable method for large-scale processing. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 875:162565. [PMID: 36889396 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Dioxin degradation is considered essential for the environmentally sound management of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWIFA). Among the many degradation techniques, thermal treatment has shown good prospects owing to its high efficiency and wide range of applications. Thermal treatment is divided into high-temperature thermal, microwave thermal, hydrothermal, and low-temperature thermal treatments. High-temperature sintering and melting not only have dioxin degradation rates higher than 95 % but also remove volatile heavy metals, although energy consumption is high. High-temperature industrial co-processing effectively solves the problem of energy consumption, but with a low fly ash (FA) mixture, and the process is limited by location. Microwave thermal treatment and hydrothermal treatment are still in the experimental stage and cannot be used for large-scale processing. The dioxin degradation rate of low-temperature thermal treatment can also be stabilized at higher than 95 %. Compared to other methods, low-temperature thermal treatment is less costly and energy consumption with no restriction on location. This review comprehensively compares the current status of the above-mentioned thermal treatment methods and their ability to dispose of MSWIFA, especially the potential for large-scale processing. Then, the respective characteristics, challenges, and application prospects of different thermal treatment methods were discussed. Finally, based on the goal of low carbon and emission reduction, three possible approaches for improvement were proposed to address the challenges of large-scale processing of low-temperature thermal treatment, namely, adding a catalyst, changing the FA fraction, or supplementing with blockers, providing a reasonable development direction for the degradation of dioxins in MSWIFA.

Abstract
Tooth discoloration and plaque formation are serious issues for dental healthcare professionals across the world. Although traditional hydrogen peroxide-based cleaning methods are efficient, they can cause enamel demineralization, periodontal irritation, and toxicity. Also, these treatments are time-taking. Here, we present a noninvasive, safe, and simple tooth cleaning approach by using the piezoelectric phenomenon. After 6 h of vibrations, contaminated teeth can be significantly cleaned by the NaNbO3/ZnO binary nanocomposite. Moreover, the NaNbO3/ZnO binary nanocomposite-based piezocatalysis tooth cleaning procedure causes far less harm to enamel and biological cells in comparison to hydrogen peroxide-based cleaning methods. To evaluate its functionality, organic dyes were degraded by piezoelectric effect of NaNbO3/ZnO binary nanocomposite under ultrasonic irradiation. The piezoelectric potential of NaNbO3/ZnO was found to be 3.75 V. The binary nanocomposite’s antibacterial activity was proven to be efficient against Escherichia coli with the inhibitory zone of 21 mm and complete removal of bacteria. NaNbO3/ZnO binary nanocomposite was synthesized by hydrothermal method NaNbO3/ZnO binary nanocomposite was evaluated as a piezocatalyst The formation of p-n heterojunction enhances the catalytic activity NaNbO3/ZnO binary nanocomposite can be used for non-destructive tooth cleaning

Abstract
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), characterized by their extreme toxicity, high persistency and bioaccumulation, regard as one of the most concerned environmental pollutants on the priority list. In this study, microwave-hydrothermal and photoreduction methods were adopted for fabrication of ternary Au@Fe/TiO2 composites for removal of 2,8-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,8-DCDD) under UV-Vis light irradiation. The acquired materials were characterized and analyzed by XRD, TEM, XPS, UV-Vis DRS, PL, etc. As a result, the 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity that 96.3% of 2,8-DCDD was removed within 160 min with respect to that of Fe/TiO2 (3.0 times) and TiO2 (5.5 times). It revealed the active substances might be produced, which were verified by ESR analysis. In a comparison, the 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 also exhibited high activity in that 97.2% of 2,8-DCDD was removed within 240 min under an anoxic atmosphere. The 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 systems were all pH-dependent that 2,8-DCDD could be fully degraded in neutral conditions. The results of repeatability on 1%Au@1%Fe/TiO2 showed that the sample was high stability. Fe doping improved the charge separation of TiO2 and Au modification improved the activity via SPR effect and Mott-Schottky barrier. The degradation mechanisms and pathways were proposed and discussed in detail. The current work develops a new approach on photocatalytic oxidation and reductive dechlorination of dioxins and may open a new opportunity to extend the application range of TiO2 catalysts.

Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the use of white rot fungus, Pleurotus pulmonarius, to treat polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs) in contaminated soil using solid state fermentation (SSF). The soil was collected from a long-closed pentachlorophenol plant in southern Taiwan. The non-sterilized soil with a total PCDD/F concentration of 14,000 ± 2400 ng I-TEQ kg-1 was mixed directly with the solid fungal inocula at dry w/w ratio of 1:1.4 (ratio-adjusted test) and incubated at 26 ± 2 °C in a controlled environment. The highest PCDD/F decomposition was observed during the mycelium colonization. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) studied during this period (35 days) indicated that laccase had no significant correlation (r = -0.53), while manganese peroxidase had a strong positive correlation (r = 0.88) with PCDD/F decomposition efficiency. After 72 days, the more toxic congeners, tetra- and penta-CDD/Fs were removed to non-detectable levels. Meanwhile, the removal efficiencies of hexa-, hepta-, and octa-CDD/Fs were >80%, >97%, and >90%, respectively. The simultaneous degradation of low and high chlorinated DD/Fs suggested that overall removal was nonspecific. The overall PCDD/F removal was 96%, and the residual concentration (276 ng I-TEQ kg-1) was below the regulatory control limit (1000 ng I-TEQ kg-1). In conclusion, this study shows that P. pulmonarius via SSF can successfully remediate the PCDD/F-contaminated field soil. Furthermore, this SSF technique overcame the well-known intractability of PCDD/F biodegradation in non-sterilized soil, making it promising for actual field application.

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

Abstract
In our work, a series of in-situ g-C3N4-Zn/Bi2WO6 heterojunctions were synthesized by a two-step solvothermal method followed with calcination process, using dicyanamide as the precursor for g-C3N4. C3N4-Zn/BWO heterojunctions were of gossypine shape, and both C3N4 and Zn were finely distributed into BWO nanosheets, forming a hierarchical structure. C3N4-Zn/BWO with 2.0 g of precursor addition and calcined at 520 °C exhibited effectively enhanced photodegradation for typical organic contaminant BPA, degrading 93% within 120 min, and implied a maximum rate constant k of 0.0211 min-1, indicating synergistic effect of C3N4 and Zn components in C3N4-Zn/BWO heterojunction. The enhancement of photocatalysis was due to quick carriers' separations via Z-scheme system and enlarged specific surface area of as-synthesized C3N4-Zn/BWO heterojunction. Main reactive oxidation species were detected to be h+ and O2-, and nine intermediates were confirmed via anlysis of LC-MS/MS. This study provided an alternative strategy to design novel photocatalysts containing multicomponents for higher photocatalytic activity.

Bi spheres SPR-coupled Cu 2O/Bi 2MoO 6 with hollow spheres forming Z-scheme Cu 2O/Bi/Bi 2MoO 6 heterostructure for simultaneous photocatalytic decontamination of sulfadiazine and Ni(II). JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 381:120953. [PMID: 31419731 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.120953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2019] [Revised: 07/30/2019] [Accepted: 07/31/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Environmental problem on the coexistence of organic pollutants and heavy metals in surface waters has become increasingly serious. Few relative researches have focused on their simultaneous decontamination. Herein, a ternary plasmonic Z-scheme Cu2O/Bi/Bi2MoO6 heterojunction was synthesized via two-step route followed by a wet-impregnation, where Bi spheres coupled with Cu2O particles were anchored on the surface of Bi2MoO6 with hollow microflower spheres. The composites were characterized via various measurements. The excellent photocatalytic activity of Cu2O/Bi/Bi2MoO6 displayed in single sulfadiazine (SDZ) oxidation or Ni(II) reduction, and their simultaneous removal. The degradation pathway for SDZ was investigated via LC-MS and Gaussian theory. DFT and FDTD calculations confirmed the electronic structural characteristics in the Cu2O/Bi/Bi2MoO6 heterostructure and the induced electric field enhancement around nearly touching Bi spheres. A possible photodegradation mechanism of the as-prepared photocatalyst was elucidated via combining scavenger experiments with EPR technique. The results suggested h+, •O2- and •OH all participated in SDZ oxidation, which verified that Z-Scheme electron transfer was major manner in Cu2O/Bi/Bi2MoO6, while •O2- and e-acted on Ni(II) reduction. The improved photocatalytic activity of Cu2O/Bi/Bi2MoO6 could be ascribed to the unique Z-scheme electron transfer among Cu2O, Bi and Bi2MoO6, particularly SPR and local electric field near Bi spheres.

Abstract
A ZnFe2O4-TiO2 nanocomposite combining p-type ZnFe2O4 and n-type TiO2 was successfully fabricated. The ZnFe2O4-TiO2 nanocomposite greatly enhanced the bisphenol A (BPA) photodegradation under visible light irradiation at 465 ± 40 nm. Loading TiO2 with 1 wt% of ZnFe2O4 produced high photocurrent and low charge transfer resistance. The photodegradation rate of BPA by ZnFe2O4-TiO2, which was highly dependent on the water chemistry including pH, anions, and humic acid, was 20.8-21.4 times higher than that of commercial TiO2 photocatalysts. Chloride and sulfate ions enhanced BPA photodegradation mostly due to the production of more radical species; whereas nitrate, dihydrogen phosphate, and bicarbonate ions decreased the photodegradation rate of BPA due to the scavenge of hydroxyl radicals. The photoactivity and recyclability of ZnFe2O4-TiO2 in lake water was also assessed. A near complete BPA removal from lake water was observed under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, >90% of photocatalytic activity toward BPA degradation was achieved in 5 cycles of continuous addition of BPA to the lake water. The BPA degradation intermediates were identified by HPLC/MS/MS and possible reaction pathways were proposed. Results clearly demonstrate the excellent visible-light-sensitive photocatalytic degradation of BPA over ZnFe2O4-TiO2 composite which has a great application potential for the decomposition of emerging contaminants in impaired waters.
