Simultaneous Cu(II)-EDTA decomplexation and Cu(II) recovery using integrated contact-electro-catalysis and capacitive deionization from electroplating wastewater. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 472:134548. [PMID: 38728866 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
The complex of heavy metals and organic acids leads to high difficulty in heavy metals separation by traditional technologies. Meanwhile, alkaline precipitation commonly used in industry causes the great consumption of resources and extra pollution. Herein, the effective decomplexation of Cu(Ⅱ)-EDTA and synchronous recycling of Cu2+ were realized by contact-electro-catalysis (CEC) coupled with capacitive deionization (CDI) innovatively. In particular, fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) as dielectric powders could generate reactive oxygen species under ultrasonic stimulation, realizing continuous deaminization and decarboxylation of Cu(Ⅱ)-EDTA and accelerating the totally breakage of Cu-O and Cu-N bonds. Additionally, the degradation pathway and intermediates evolution of Cu(Ⅱ)-EDTA were investigated using various characterization methods. It was confirmed that decarboxylation predominantly governed the degradation process of Cu(Ⅱ)-EDTA in CEC. During the course of treatment, the degradation ratio of Cu(Ⅱ)-EDTA reached 86.4 % within 150 min. Impressively, this strategy had satisfactory applicability to other metal combinations and excellent cycle stability. Subsequently, the released Cu ions were captured by CuSe cathode electrode through CDI. This research elucidated the degradation mechanism of persistent organic pollutant during CEC, and provided a novel approach for efficiently treating industrial wastewater containing metal complexes and advancing the exploitation and utilization of new technologies for metal recovery.

Congo red dye degradation using Fe-containing mineral as a reactive material derived from waste foundry dust. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:28443-28453. [PMID: 38546920 PMCID: PMC11058770 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33064-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/30/2024]
Abstract
This study investigated the applicability of industrial waste. The high affinity of Fe-based products is widely used for industrial effluents because of their capability to oxidize contaminants. Waste foundry dust (WFD) is an Fe oxide that has been investigated as a potential reactive material that causes the generation of reactive oxidants. We aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties of WFD and the feasibility in the Fenton oxidation process. The WFD was used as a catalyst for removing Congo red (CR), to evaluate the generation of •OH and dissolution of Fe during the oxidation process. The linkage of •OH generation by WFD with eluted Fe(II) through the Fe dissolution was found. The Fenton oxidation reaction, CR degradation was affected by H2O2 concentration, initial pH, WFD dosage, initial CR concentration, and coexisting anions. The CR degradation efficiency increased with an increase in H2O2 concentration and WFD dosage. In addition, chloride and sulfate in solution promoted CR degradation, whereas carbonate had a negative effect on the Fenton oxidation process. The elution of Fe promotes CR degradation, over three reuse cycles, the degradation performance of the CR decreased from 100 to 81.1%. For the Fenton oxidation process, •OH generation is linked to Fe redox cycling, the surface passivation and Fe complexes interrupted the release of reactive oxidants, which resulted in the degradation of the CR decreased. This study proposed that WFD can serve as catalysts for the removal of CR.

Abstract
Fenton process is the most popular for wastewater treatment among all available advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Numerous endeavors have been devoted to improving the oxidation efficiency of Fenton reaction in terms of promoting ·OH generation, accelerating iron redox cycle and extending applicable pH range. However, in addition to oxidation, coagulation and adsorption also simultaneously occur in the Fenton process, which play important role in the removal of pollutants. Rapid progress has revealed the synergistic effects of oxidation, coagulation and adsorption in the Fenton process, providing new ideas for the treatment of complex and refractory wastewater. Based on available studies, this review is the first to systematically summarize the research progress regarding the synergistic effects of oxidation, coagulation and adsorption in the integrated Fenton-based processes for wastewater treatment. The involved mechanism of the synergistic effects in different Fenton processes (homogeneous Fenton, heterogeneous Fenton and physical field-assistant Fenton coupling process) are critically reviewed. Furthermore, special attention has been paid to the representative applications of the synergistic effects in wastewater treatment (such as industrial organic wastewater, landfill leachate and heavy metal-organic complexes, etc.), particularly focusing on the operation parameters and removal performance. Finally, a conclusion of the review and subsequently, perspectives are given for possible research directions. We believe this review can provide useful information for researchers and end-users involved in the development and application of the Fenton process in wastewater treatment.

Copper(II) containing chitosan hydrogel as a heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst for production of hydroxyl radical: A quantitative study. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 199:348-357. [PMID: 34995667 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.12.150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2021] [Revised: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 12/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The Fenton reaction, which generate hydroxl radical as a powerful oxidizing agent, is of interest due to its role in biological systems and wastewater treatment. However, unlike the ferrous/ferric system that is active only in acidic condition, the copper ion can operate over a wide pH range as a Fenton-like system. In this research a copper containing hydrogel (Cu/CH) was prepared by loading the Cu2+ ions into a hydrogel based on chitosan, acrylamide (AAM), and acrylic acid (AA), and used for production of hydroxyl radical in a Fenton-like reaction. The prepared catalyst was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The catalytic activity of the hydrogels was quantitatively investigated by measuring the hydroxyl radical using the photoluminescence (PL) technique. Various parameters such as contact time, amount of metal ion, dose of hydrogen peroxide, and dose of Cu/CH were investigated. A catalytic mechanism was proposed for production of hydroxyl radical. The reusability studies showed that the Cu/CH can be reused several times without loss of its catalytic activity. In addition, various metal ions were loaded into the hydrogel and their performance in the production of hydroxyl radical were investigated.

Simultaneous removal of typical flotation reagent 8-hydroxyquinoline and Cr(VI) through heterogeneous Fenton-like processes mediated by polydopamine functionalized ATP supported nZVI. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:126698. [PMID: 34315632 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.126698] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/18/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The heavy metal and organic pollution caused by mining activities keep attracting attention, thus an economic and efficient treatment for combined pollution is pressing. In this study, the simultaneous removal performance of typical organic flotation reagent 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) and Cr(VI) was investigated via heterogeneous Fenton process induced by a novel polydopamine (PDA) functionalized attapulgite supported nano sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) composite (PDA/ATP-nZVI). Batch experiments showed that PDA/ATP-nZVI had better catalytic reactivity and reduction ability than both ATP-nZVI and nZVI. Under acidic condition, 96.0% of 8-HQ was degraded accompanied with the 42.5% of total organic carbon (TOC) decrease, while 95.8% of Cr(VI) removal efficiency was accomplished by PDA/ATP-nZVI. PDA not only served as redox mediator in expediting electron transfer, but also acted as electron donor that accelerated transformation from Fe(III) to both dissolved Fe(II) and surface Fe(II), which resulted in the increased degradation of 8-HQ. The synergic removal behavior between 8-HQ and Cr(VI) was discussed and the reaction mechanism in the persulfate (PS)-PDA/ATP-nZVI system was also explored. This study developed a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst, and demonstrated that the PS-PDA/ATP-nZVI system had a potential for remediation of mine environment polluted by both heavy metals and organic flotation reagents.

Adsorption properties and recognition mechanisms of a novel surface imprinted polymer for selective removal of Cu(II)-citrate complexes. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127735. [PMID: 34823959 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/06/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Cu(II)-citrate (Cu(II)-CA) complex, as one of the components in plating solutions, increases the difficulty of Cu(II) treatment due to its stable structure and high mobility. In this work, a novel surface imprinted polymer (Cu-CA-SIP) for selective removal of Cu(II)-CA complex from aqueous solution is synthesized by using polyethyleneimine (PEI) grafted onto chloromethylated polystyrene (CMP) microspheres. Cu(II)-CA anions are successfully imprinted with the molar ration of 1:1 by Cu-CA-SIP at initial pH 4.0. Nearly 100% removal rate can be achieved even at low Cu(II)-CA concentration (0.5 mmol/L), and the maximum Cu(II) uptake of Cu-CA-SIP reaches 1.38 mmol/g at 303 K. In Cu(II)/Fe(III)-CA, Cu(II)/Ni(II)-CA, Cu(II)/Zn(II)-CA and Cu(II)/Cd(II)-CA systems, the relative selectivity coefficients of Cu-CA-SIP for Cu(II)-CA are 9.66, 2.32, 1.40 and 44.55, respectively. Moreover, Cu-CA-SIP can be retrieved with negligible loss of adsorption capacity after six times of reuse. The Cu-CA-SIP column can effectively treat the actual electroplating wastewater within 114 BV, and can still reach 104 BV after three dynamic cycles. Therefore, an innovative imprinted material is designed for the first time on the basis of coordination-configuration recognition mechanism for the treatment of electroplating wastewater, providing a new insight in developing surface imprinted polymer in environmental remediation.

Abstract
In this study, a copper-based catalyst (CuCN) with CuNx active sites highly dispersed in a porous carbon nitride matrix was synthesized and applied to a heterogeneous photo-assisted Photo-Fenton (PF) system to degrade tetracycline (TET). The results showed that the CuCN/PF system degraded up to 93.6% of TET within 60 min for ultrapure water matrix under the best experimental conditions, and more than 70% of TET for both river and lake water matrix. Toxicological tests suggested that the environmental risk caused by TET can be effectively inhibited by the CuCN/PF system. The good visible-light response and charge transport abilities of CuCN catalyst were identified in photoelectrochemical experiments. Free radical scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy indicated that the active species in the degradation process were·OH, h+,·O2- and 1O2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed the positive effect of CuNx sites in CuCN on the formation of hydroxyl radicals by activating H2O2. This work will provide a new insight for the development of high-efficiency heterogeneous catalysts in wastewater environmental remediation.

Abstract
In this study, two multifunctional nano-chitosan flocculants (CPAM-NCS1 and CPAM-NCS2) were made through the graft modification of cationic monomer and carboxymethylchitosan (CMCTS) to remove combined contaminants. The effects of various factors (pH, flocculant dosage and hydraulic mixing conditions) on the flocculation performance under single and composite pollution conditions were systematically investigated, the optimal chemical oxygen demand (COD) and the chromaticity removal rates in the dye wastewater were 79.9% and 83.9% at wastewater pH 7, the fast stirring rate 300 rpm, the fast stirring time 8 min, and the dosage of CPAM-NCS1 80 mg/L, respectively. The optimal removal rates of Cu (II) obtained by CPAM-NCS1 and CPAM-NCS2 at were 80.3% and 75.2% at 60 mg/L and the wastewater pH 7, respectively. The optimal removal rates of Cu (II) and disperse orange were 85.3% and 89.4%, respectively, in a composite pollutant system in which Cu (II) and disperse orange coexisted when the pH of the composite system was 9 and the dosage of CPAM -NCS1 was 60 mg/L. This study proved that nanoflocculants made by modifying CMCTS with different structures can demonstrate ideal flocculation removal performance for dye and heavy metal wastewaters.

A critical review on metal complexes removal from water using methods based on Fenton-like reactions: Analysis and comparison of methods and mechanisms.

Abstract
Metals mainly exist in the form of complexes in urban wastewater, fresh water and even drinking water, which are difficult to remove and further harm human health. Fenton-like reaction has been used for the removal of metal complexes. Effective removal of metal complexes using Fenton-like reaction requires the removal of both metals and organic ligands, meanwhile, the fate of metals and organic pollutions must be clearly understood. Thus, this review summarizes the relevant research on metal complex removal from using Fenton-like reactions in the past ten years, with the detailed removal approaches and mechanisms analyzed. Electro-, photo-, microwave/ultrasound-Fenton reactions or the synergistic Fenton reaction have been shown to exhibit excellent metal complex treatment capabilities. Furthermore, various catalysts, such as transition metals, bimetals and metal-free catalytic systems can expand the potential applications of Fenton-like reactions. Novel Fenton reaction methods without the addition of metals or H2O2, with construction of a dual active center catalyst, or with the introduction of other free radicals, are all worthy of further investigation. Due to increasing levels of environmental metal and organic pollutions remediation requirements, more research is required for the development of economical and efficient novel Fenton-like processes.

Effective and simultaneous removal of organic/inorganic arsenic using polymer-based hydrated iron oxide adsorbent: Capacity evaluation and mechanism. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 742:140508.

Abstract
In this study, resin-based hydrated iron oxide (HFOR) composites were prepared and used as a functional adsorbent for the simultaneous removal of p-Arsanilic acid (p-ASA) and arsenate (As (V)). The effects of solution pH and coexisting substances on the adsorption of different arsenic species were also investigated. Results showed that the coexisting substances slightly affected the adsorption process of two arsenic species. Analysis of the adsorption behavior, isotherm equilibrium, and adsorption kinetics, as well as that results of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, zeta potential, and other analytical methods revealed that the satisfactory adsorption performance of HFOR can be attributed to the electrostatic interactions induced by the positively charged groups and the coordination of the hydrated iron oxide nanoparticles, which exhibited excellent specific adsorption for both arsenic species. Moreover, HFOR showed high acid and alkali resistance and reusability, as well as a constant co-removal performance for different arsenic species in five consecutive operating cycles (55 mg As/g of As(V) and 18 mg/g of p-ASA). Results of continuous running fixed-bed column experiments confirmed that HFOR enabled excellent simultaneous adsorption for p-ASA and As(V).
