Abstract
Effective management of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon monoxide (CO) is critical to human health and the ecological environment. Catalytic oxidation is one of the most promising technologies for achieving efficient VOCs and CO emission control. Platinum group metal (PGM)-free catalysts are recently receiving sustainable attention in catalyzing VOCs and CO removal due to their low cost, superior catalytic activity, and excellent stability, but PGM-free catalysts face challenges in low-temperature catalytic efficiency. In this mini-review, starting with discussing the catalytic mechanism of VOCs and CO oxidation, we summarize the surface/interface modulation strategies of PGM-free catalysts to promote oxygen and VOCs/CO molecule activation for enhanced low-temperature oxidation activity, including oxygen vacancy engineering, heteroatom doping, surface acidity modification, and active interface construction. We highlight the currently remaining challenges and prospects of advanced PGM-free catalyst development for highly efficient VOCs and CO emission control in practical applications.

Abstract
Carbon aerogels were newly employed in adsorption for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as an emerging material. In contrast, the microstructure and high carbon consumption are the primary factors restricting their application scenarios. Carbon nanotubes, recognized for their controllable cylindrical hollow structure and hydrophobic walls, generally possess higher adsorption capacities than typical carbon adsorbents. In this study, carbon nanotubes were grown on the surface of carbon aerogels using the chemical vapor deposition method by controlling different deposition conditions. The results showed that the modified samples displayed the maximum adsorption capacity of 145.0 mg/g and 178.3 mg/g for toluene and 1,2- dichlorobenzene, respectively. After ten regeneration cycles, the performance decreased by 7.9 % and 5.6 %, respectively. Meanwhile, the carbon replenishment was about 0.2 g/g, which is an excellent complement for carbon consumption. Various characterization patterns showed that deposition temperature was reflected in its deposition rate, deposition times influenced the formation of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and deposition concentration affected the length of carbon nanotubes. This study offers valuable insight into the growth patterns of carbon nanotubes and the microscale regulation of carbon material surfaces, and this method is expected to be an effective means of carbon replenishment, carbon addition to carbon-poor materials, and enhancement of VOCs removal performance, and the growth mechanisms investigated are instructive for practical applications.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation process (AOP) wet scrubber is a powerful and clean technology for organic pollutant treatment but still presents great challenges in removing the highly toxic and hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Herein, we elaborately designed a bifunctional cobalt sulfide (CoS2)/activated carbon (AC) catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for efficient toxic VOC removal in an AOP wet scrubber. By combining the excellent VOC adsorption capacity of AC with the highly efficient PMS activation activity of CoS2, CoS2/AC can rapidly capture VOCs from the gas phase to proceed with the SO4•- and HO• radical-induced oxidation reaction. More than 90% of aromatic VOCs were removed over a wide pH range (3-11) with low Co ion leaching (0.19 mg/L). The electron-rich sulfur vacancies and low-valence Co species were the main active sites for PMS activation. SO4•- was mainly responsible for the initial oxidation of VOCs, while HO• and O2 acted in the subsequent ring-opening and mineralization processes of intermediates. No gaseous intermediates from VOC oxidation were detected, and the highly toxic liquid intermediates like benzene were also greatly decreased, thus effectively reducing the health toxicity associated with byproduct emissions. This work provided a comprehensive understanding of the deep oxidation of VOCs via AOP wet scrubber, significantly accelerating its application in environmental remediation.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with controlled porosity, high crystallinity, diverse designability and excellent stability are very attractive in metal-free heterogeneous photocatalysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) degradation. In order to construct the high optimal performance COFs under feasible and universal conditions, herein, the visible light-driven hollow COFTAPB-PDA (H-COFTAPB-PDA) microcapsule was designed by a facile dual-ligand regulated sacrificial template method. The H-COFTAPB-PDA microcapsule possesses improved surface area, high crystallinity, broad absorption range and high stability, which enables enhanced substrates and visible light adsorption, photogenerated electrons-holes separation and transfer, and facilitate the generation of reactive radicals. Importantly, it was found to be a highly efficient photocatalyst for toluene degradation under visible-light irradiation compared with the solid COFTAPB-PDA, and the degradation efficiency of toluene reached 91.8 % within 180 min with the conversion rate of CO2 was 68.9 %. Additionally, the H-COFTAPB-PDA presented good recyclability and long-term stability after multiple photocatalytic reuses. Furthermore, the active sites of H-COFTAPB-PDA in photocatalytic degradation of toluene was proposed by XPS and DFT calculations, and the degradation pathway and mechanism was proposed and analyzed. The result presented great prospect of morphologic design of hollow COFs in metal-free heterogeneous photocatalysis for VOCs degradation.

Abstract
Cobalt-nitrogen co-doped carbon nanotubes (Co3@NCNT-800) were synthesized via a facile and economical approach to investigate the efficient degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous environments. This material demonstrated high catalytic efficiency in the degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ) in the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). The experimental data revealed that at a neutral pH of 7 and an initial CBZ concentration of 20 mg/L, the application of Co3@NCNT-800 at 0.2 g/L facilitated a degradation rate of 64.7% within 60 min. Mechanistic investigations indicated that the presence of pyridinic nitrogen and cobalt species enhanced the generation of reactive oxygen species. Radical scavenging assays and electron spin resonance spectroscopy confirmed that radical and nonradical pathways contributed to CBZ degradation, with the nonradical mechanism being predominant. This research presents the development of a novel PMS catalyst, synthesized through an efficient and stable method, which provides a cost-effective solution for the remediation of organic contaminants in water.

Abstract
A carbon-based advanced oxidation process is featured for the nonradical electron-transfer pathway (ETP) from electron-donating organic compounds to activated persulfate complexes, enabling it as a green technology for the selective oxidation of organic pollutants in complex water environments. However, the thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors of the nonradical electron-transfer regime had been ambiguous due to a neglect of the influence of pH on the mechanisms. In this study, three kinds of organic pollutants were divided in the carbon-based ETP regime: (i) physio-adsorption, (ii) adsorption-dominated ETP (oxidation rate slightly surpasses adsorption rate), and (iii) oxidation-dominated ETP (oxidation rate outpaces the adsorption rate). The differential kinetic behaviors were attributed to the physicochemical properties of the organic pollutants. For example, the hydrophobicity, molecular radius, and positive electrostatic potential controlled the mass-transfer process of the adsorption stage of the reactants (peroxydisulfate (PDS) and organics). Meanwhile, other descriptors, including the Fukui index, oxidation potential, and electron cloud density regulated the electron-transfer processes and thus the kinetics of oxidation. Most importantly, the oxidation pathways of these organic pollutants could be altered by adjusting the water chemistry. This study reveals the principles for developing efficient nonradical systems to selectively remove and recycle organic pollutants in wastewater.

Abstract
Although alkaline sulfite activation of ferrate (Fe(VI)) has advantages of fast response and high activity for degradation of organic contaminants, the specific production pathways of active species and the pH conditions still hinder its widespread application. Based on this, our study constructed a novel advanced oxidation process of calcium sulfite (CaSO3) could activated Fe(VI) continuously by Ca2+ buffering and investigated the mechanism under different pH values and CaSO3 dosages with ciprofloxacin as a target organic pollutant. The results showed that Ca2+ stabilized the process at a neutral/weakly alkaline microenvironment of pH 7-8, which could alleviate the hydrolysis of ≡FeIV=O by protons and iron hydroxyl groups. Besides, the removal of pollutants occurred efficiently when sulfate (SO32-) was excessive and had a 3:1 ratio of SO32- to Fe(VI), achieving more than 99% removal of electron-rich phenolic organic pollutants within 2 min. By adding different radical scavengers and combining electrochemical analysis methods and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques to revealed that the main active species in Fe(VI)/CaSO3 process were ≡FeIV=O/≡FeV=O. Furthermore, the reactivity of various sulfate species (such as SO32-, SO3•-, SO4•-, SO5•-) with Fe(VI) was calculated using density functional theory (DFT), and it was found that Fe(VI)-SO32- reaction has a much lower energy barrier (-36.08 kcal/mol), indicating that SO32- can readily activate Fe(VI) and generate ≡FeIV=O to attack the atoms with high Fukui index (f -) in organic pollutants. The above results confirm the feasibility of Fe(VI)/CaSO3 process. Thus, this study can theoretically and practically prove that the main active species is ≡FeIV=O, rather than SO4•- or •OH in Fe(VI)/CaSO3 process.

Abstract
Improving the wettability of carbon-based catalysts and overcoming the rate-limiting step of the Mn+1/Mn+ cycle are effective strategies for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS). In this study, the coupling of Co-NC, layered double hydroxide (LDH), and CoSx heterostructure (CoSx@LDH@Co-NC) was constructed to completely degrade ofloxacin (OFX) within 10 min via PMS activation. The reaction rate of 1.07 min-1 is about 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than other catalysts. The interfacial effect of confined Co-NC and layered double hydroxide (LDH) not only enhanced the wettability of catalysts but also increased the vacancy concentration; it facilitated easier contact with the interface reactive oxygen species (ROS). Simultaneously, reduced sulfur species (CoSx) accelerated the Co3+/Co2+ cycle, acquiring long-term catalytic activity. The catalytic mechanism revealed that the synergistic effect of hydroxyl groups and reduced sulfur species promoted the formation of 1O2, with a longer lifespan and a longer migration distance, and resisted the influence of nontarget background substances. Moreover, considering the convenience of practical application, the CoSx@LDH@Co-NC-based catalytic membrane was prepared, which had zero discharge of OFX and no decay in continuous operation for 5.0 h. The activity of the catalytic membrane was also verified in actual wastewater. Consequently, this work not only provides a novel strategy for designing excellent catalysts but also is applicable to practical organic wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the main classes of air pollutants, and it is important to develop efficient adsorbents to remove them from the atmosphere. To do this most efficiently, we need to understand the mechanism of VOC adsorption. In this work, we described how the metal organic framework (MOF), ZIF-8, was used as a precursor to generate MOF derivatives (Zn-GC) through temperature-controlled calcination, which had adjustable metal sites and hierarchical pore structure. It was used as a model adsorbent to study the adsorption and desorption characteristics of different VOCs. Zn-GC-850 with developed pores exhibited higher adsorption performance for the benzene series, whereas Zn-GC-650 with more metal sites had a better adsorption capacity for oxygen-containing VOCs. By tuning the molecular structure of the VOCs, we revealed the adsorption mechanism of different VOCs at the molecular level. The more developed hierarchical pore structure obtained at the higher temperature facilitates the diffusion of the benzene series, and the noncovalent interaction between their methyl group(s) and the carbonized MOF derivatives improves the adsorption affinity; while the higher exposure of Zn sites obtained at lower temperature favors the adsorption of oxygen-containing VOCs by Zn-O bonds. The mass transfers of VOCs and the role of the adsorbent were simulated by multiple theoretical models. This study strengthens the basis for the design and optimization of the adsorbent and catalyst for VOCs treatment.

[PMID: 37442259 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
Nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) was synthesized via direct thermal annealing treatment. The obtained NG showed outstanding removal ability for tetracycline (TC) ascribed to enhanced adsorption and persulfate activation. The maximum TC adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model of NG was 227.3 mg/g, which was 1.66 times larger than nitrogen-free graphene. The coexistence of NG and persulfate (PS) exhibited complete degradation of TC within 120 min attributed to the successful modification of nitrogen. Further analysis demonstrated that non-radical electron transfer was the dominant degradation pathway, which was different from the widely acknowledgeable radical mechanism. An electron donor-mediator-acceptor system was introduced, in which TC, NG, and PS performed as electron donor, mediator, and acceptor, respectively. The potential intermediates in the TC degradation process were detected and toxicity assessment was also performed. In addition, more than 75.8% of total organic carbon was removed, and excellent reusability was manifested in multiple adsorption and degradation experiments.

Abstract
Tuning the electronic structure of single atom catalysts (SACs) is an effective strategy to promote the catalytic activity in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Herein, a series of Fe-based SACs with S1/2/3/4-coordination numbers on graphene were designed to regulate the electronic structural of SACs at molecular level, and their effects on PMS activation were investigated via density function theory (DFT). The calculation results demonstrate that the electron structure of the active center can be adjusted by coordination environment, which further affects the activation of PMS. Among the studied Fe-SX-C4-X catalysts, with the increase of the S coordination number, the electron density of the Fe-SX-C4-X active center was optimized. The active center of the Fe-S4-C0 catalyst has a largest positive charge density, exhibiting the highest number of electron transfer. It also has a lower kinetic energy barrier (0.28 eV) for PMS dissociation. Organic pollutant such as bisphenol A (BPA) can achieve stable adsorption on Fe-SX-C4-X catalysts, which is conducive to subsequent oxidation by radicals. The dual index ∆f(r) indicates that the para-carbon atom of the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring of BPA is vulnerable to radical attack. This study highlights a theoretical support and a certain guide for designing efficient SACs to activate PMS.

Adsorptive removal of benzene and toluene from aqueous solutions by oxygen-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes derived from rice husk waste: A comparative study. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 336:139265. [PMID: 37339705 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023]
Abstract
One of the current directions for sustainable development is to use waste resources to create materials that reduce environmental pollution. In this study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) and their oxygen-functionalized forms (HNO3/H2SO4-oxidized MWCNT, NaOCl-oxidized MWCNT, and H2O2-oxidized MWCNT) were first synthesized from activated carbon (AC) derived from rice husk waste. A comprehensive comparison of the morphological and structural properties of these materials was conducted using FT-IR, BET, XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA, Raman spectroscopy, and surface charge analysis. The morphology study suggests that the synthesized MWCNTs have an average outer and inner diameter of about 40 and 20 nm, respectively. Additionally, the NaOCl-oxidized MWCNT possesses the largest interspaces between nanotubes, while the HNO3/H2SO4-oxidized CNT has the most oxygen-functional groups, including -COOH, (Ar)-OH, and C-OH. The adsorption capacities of these materials were also compared for the removal of benzene and toluene. Experimental results have shown that while porosity is the primary factor governing the benzene and toluene adsorption onto AC, functionalization degree and surface chemical characteristics are the determining factors in the adsorption capacity of the as-prepared MWCNTs. The adsorption capacity of these aromatic compounds in an aqueous solution increases in the following order: AC < MWCNT < HNO3/H2SO4-oxidized MWCNT < H2O2-oxidized MWCNT < NaOCl-oxidized MWCNT, and in all cases, toluene is more readily adsorbed than benzene under similar adsorption conditions. Wherein the uptake of both pollutants by the prepared adsorbents in this study is best described by the Langmuir isotherm and obeys the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption mechanism was discussed in a detailed manner.

Abstract
Adsorption and wettability are crucial components of catalytic oxidation. To increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation/utilization efficiency of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activators, defect engineering and 2D nanosheet characteristics were used to regulate electronic structures and expose more active sites. Two-dimensional (2D) super-hydrophilic heterostructure by connecting cobalt species modified nitrogen vacancy-rich g-C3N4 (Vn-CN) and LDH (Vn-CN/Co/LDH) with high-density active sites and multi-vacancies, as well as high conductivity and adsorbability, to expedite ROS generation. The degradation rate constant of ofloxacin (OFX) was 0.441 min-1 via the Vn-CN/Co/LDH/PMS system, which was 1-2 orders greater than in the previous studies. Confirmation of the contribution ratios of various reactive oxygen species (ROS), SO4·- and 1O2 in bulk solution, O2·- on the catalyst surface was the most abundant ROS. The catalytic membrane was constructed utilizing Vn-CN/Co/LDH as the assembly element. The 2D membrane achieved the continuous effective discharge of OFX in the simulated water after 80 h/4 cycles of continuous flowing-through filtration-catalysis. This study provides fresh insights into designing a PMS activator for environmental remediation activated on demand.

Abstract
Over the past few years, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) exhibiting high ecotoxicity have been widely detected in the environment. Persulfate-oxidation hybrid system is one of the most widely used novel advanced oxidation techniques and is based on the persulfate generation of SO4-∙ and ∙OH from persulfate to degrade POPs. The overarching aim of this work is to provide a critical review of the variety of methods of peroxide activation (e.g., light activated persulfate, heat-activated persulfate, ultrasound-activated persulfate, electrochemically-activated persulfate, base-activated persulfate, transition metal activated persulfate, as well as Carbon based material activated persulfate). Specifically, through this article we make an attempt to provide the important characteristics and uses of main activated PS methods, as well as the prevailing mechanisms of activated PS to degrade organic pollutants in water. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of each activation method are analyzed. This work clearly illustrates the benefits of different persulfate activation technologies, and explores persulfate activation in terms of Sustainable Development Goals, technical feasibility, toxicity assessment, and economics to facilitate the large-scale application of persulfate technologies. It also discusses how to choose the most suitable activation method to degrade different types of POPs, filling the research gap in this area and providing better guidance for future research and engineering applications of persulfates.

Abstract
The propagation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) greatly endangers the ecological safety and human health. This study employed pyrite (FeS2, naturally abundant mineral) for periodate (PI) activation to disinfect ARB. FeS2/PI system could disinfect 1 × 107 CFU mL-1 of kanamycin-resistant E.coli below the limit of detection in 20 min. Efficient ARB inactivation performance was achieved in pH from 3 to 9, ionic strength from 0 to 300 mM, with HA (0.1-10 mg L-1) in suspension, and in real water samples including tap water, river water and sewage. FeS2/PI system could also efficiently disinfect gentamycin-resistant E.coli and Gram-positive B. subtilis. The generated reactive species including Fe(IV), ·O2- and ·OH would attack cell membrane and overwhelmed intracellular defense system. The intracellular kanamycin resistance genes in cells would be released and then degraded in FeS2/PI system. PI preferred to be adsorbed on Fe site of FeS2 (with lower adsorption energy, more occupancy of bonding state and stronger bonding strength). The subsequent transfer of electron cloud from Fe site to PI would cleave IO bond to generate reactive species. Moreover, FeS2/PI system could also combine with sand filtration system to efficiently capture and disinfect ARB. Therefore, FeS2/PI system is a promising approach to inactivate ARB in different scenarios.

Abstract
One of the popular process in volatile organic compounds removal in gas phase is advanced oxidation process. We in this research, synthesized BiOI@NH2-MIL125(Ti)/Zeolite nanocomposite as a novel nanocomposite to degradation of benzene in hybrid advanced oxidation process. The nanocomposite synthesized via solvothermal method. The effect of airflow, ozone gas concentration, hydrogen peroxide concentration, relative humidity and initial benzene concentration are the main parameters in the UV/O3/H2O2/ nanocomposite hybrid process that were studied. The characterization by XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, EDS element mapping, TEM, BET, and UV-vis spectra indicated that nanocomposite were well synthesized. Optimal operating conditions of the process were determined at air flow of 0.1 l/min, ozone concentration of 0.3 mg/min, hydrogen peroxide concentration of 150 ppm, relative humidity of 45 ± 3% and benzene concentration of 50 ppmv. Under these conditions, more than 99% of benzene was degraded. The synergistic effect coefficient of the mechanisms is 1.53. The nanocomposite had good stability in the hybrid process and remained above 99% efficiency up to 5 times. The ozone concentration residual the system was reported to be negligible (0.013 mg/min). The CO and CO2 emissions in the hybrid process was higher than other processes, which indicates better mineralization in the hybrid process. Formaldehyde, octane, noonan, phenol, decanoic acid were reported as the main by-products. The results indicated that UV/O3/H2O2/ nanocomposite hybrid process has fantastic efficiency in the degradation of benzene as one of the indicators of VOCs.

Abstract
In this study, a wet scrubber coupled with a persulfate-based advanced oxidation process [carbocatalysts/peroxymonosulfate (PMS)] was demonstrated to efficiently remove gaseous volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The removal efficiency of a representative VOC, styrene, was stable at above 98%, and an average mineralization rate was achieved at 76% during 2 h. The removal efficiency of the carbocatalysts/PMS wet scrubber for styrene was much higher than that of pure water, carbocatalysts/water, or PMS/water systems. Quenching experiments, electron spin resonance spectroscopy, in-situ Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that singlet oxygen (1O2) and oxidative complexes are the main reactive oxygen species and that both contributed to styrene removal. In particular, carbonyl groups (C═O) in the carbocatalyst were found to be the active sites for activating PMS during styrene oxidation. The role of 1O2 was discovered to be benzene ring breaking and a possible non-radical oxidation pathway of styrene was proposed based on time-of-flight mass spectroscopy which was further verified by DFT calculations. In particular, the electron transfer process of multi world carbon nanotubes-PMS* in styrene oxidation was further studied in-depth by experiments and DFT calculations. The unstable vinyl on styrene was simultaneously degraded by the oxidative complexes and 1O2 into benzene, and finally oxidized by 1O2 into H2O and CO2. This study provides an effective method for VOC removal and clearly illustrates the complete degradation mechanism of styrene in a nonradical PMS-based process by a wet scrubber.

CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 305:135469. [PMID: 35753426 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Automotive painting plants are important emission sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute significantly to ground-level ozone (O₃) pollution in atmosphere. Here, we investigated process-specified emission characteristics of VOCs, without or with advanced adsorption/incineration after-treatments, from an ultra-low-emission (ULE) waterborne painting process in a modernized automotive plant. Overall, more than 80 VOCs species were identified and sorted into seven main categories. In the stack emissions without after-treatments, oxygenated VOCs (alcohols, esters, ketones, ethers, etc.) were found to be the most abundant components (48.8%), followed by aromatic (30.9%), alkanes (16.9%) and alkenes (1.2%). Among the different VOCs species discharged to atmosphere (i.e. after adsorption/incineration after-treatments), aromatics demonstrated a predominant contribution (by 60.6%) to the total O₃ formation potentials (OFPs) despite their relatively lower abundance. Trimethylbenzene was identified to have the highest OFPs, and thus should be controlled with peculiar priority. As compared to traditional organic solvent-based painting process, the ULE waterborne process implemented in the target plant allows to reduce the OFPs from 10.7 mg m-3 to 3 mg m-3 (or by 72%). Additional monitoring by unmanned aerial vehicle (over more than 3000 sampling points in the plant) confirmed that the instantaneous concentrations of fugitive VOCs were well below the regulated limit value during typical working and non-working days. These findings may provide important reference for reduction of VOCs emissions and O3 pollution from automotive painting processes.

Abstract
Currently, various strategies have been applied to activate persulfate (PS) for contaminant removal from water. However, the background phosphate ions in water affect PS activation and organic degradation, and the mechanism of their influence on the processes is still controversial. In this review, the possible effects of different phosphate forms (HPO42-, H2PO4-, and PO43-) on PS activation and contaminant degradation were systematically evaluated and summarized. Specifically, HPO42- promotes contaminant degradation in direct peroxymonosulfate (PMS) oxidation and thermal/PMS systems, while it exhibits inhibition to thermal/peroxodisulfate (PDS) and ultraviolet (UV)/PDS systems. Meanwhile, H2PO4- inhibits most oxidation processes based on PMS and PDS, except for non-metal dominated and metal assisted PMS systems. Coexisting HPO42- and H2PO4- could present beneficial effects in thermal, Co2+ and non-metal activated and metal assisted PMS systems. Nevertheless, their inhibitory effects were found in direct PMS oxidation, UV/PMS (or PDS) and metal dominated PMS systems. Generally, phosphate ions inhibit PMS/PDS activation through competing adsorption with PMS or PDS on the solid surface, forming a complex with metal ions, as well as occupying active sites on solid catalysts. In addition, phosphate ions can quench radicals for reduced degradation of contaminants. However, phosphate ions could weaken the bond dissociation energy via combining with PMS and contaminants or form a complex with Co2+, thus displaying a facilitative effect. This review further discusses major challenges and opportunities of PS activation with co-existing phosphates and will provide guidance for better PS utilization in real water treatment practice.

Abstract
The packed anode bioelectrochemical system (Pa-BES) developed in this study is a type of BES that introduces waste gas into a cathode and then into an anode, thereby providing the cathode with sufficient oxygen and reducing the amount of oxygen to the anode to promote the output of electricity. When the empty-bed residence time was 45 s and the liquid flowrate was 35 mL/s, the system achieved optimal performance. Under these conditions, removal efficiency, mineralization efficiency, voltage output, and power density were 93.86%, 93.37%, 296.3 mV, and 321.12 mW/m3, respectively. The acetone in the waste gas was almost completely converted into carbon dioxide, indicating that Pa-BES can effectively remove acetone and has the potential to be used in practical situations. A cyclic voltammetry analysis revealed that the packings exhibited clear redox peaks, indicating that the Pa-BES has outstanding biodegradation and power generation abilities. Through microbial community dynamics, numerous organics degraders, electrochemically active bacteria, nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria were found, and the spatial distribution of these microbes were identified. Among them, Xanthobacter, Bryobacter, Mycobacteriums and Terrimonawas were able to decompose acetone or other organic substances, with Xanthobacter dominating. Bacterium_OLB10 and Ferruginibacter are the electrochemically active bacteria in Pa-BES, while Ferruginibacter is the most abundant in the main anode, which is responsible for electron collection and transfer.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation of carbendazim by OH radicals is a central step in its wastewater remediation. However, the understanding of the degradation mechanism of carbendazim has always been a challenge. In this paper, the degradation mechanism of carbendazim by •OH in aqueous solution has been explored using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. On account of the structural and electronic characteristics analysis, the nucleophilic aromatic substitution, dehydrogenation oxidation, and decarboxylation degradation pathways were mainly investigated. These degradation reactions may produce hydroxyl substitution products, oxidized aldehyde and carboxyl products, and decarboxylated carbamic acid products. Computational studies demonstrated that these possible degradation reactions are facile to take place kinetically and have large thermodynamic driving forces, indicating the feasibility of the relevant degradation pathways. Additionally, the ecological risk of carbendazim and its possible degradation products was evaluated, showing that the acute toxicity of degradation products decreases in varying degrees compared with that of carbendazim. The comprehensive mechanistic studies open an avenue for the understanding on the degradation of organic pollutants such as benzimidazole pollutants on molecular level.

Abstract
Catechol pollutants (CATPs) serving as chelating agents could coordinate with many metal ions to form various CATPs-metal complexes. Little information is available on the effects of complexation of metal ions on CATPs degradation. This work presents a systematical study of •OH-mediated degradation of catechol and catechol-metal complexes over the whole pH range in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Results show that the pH-dependent complexation of metal ions (Zn2+, Cu2+, Ti4+ and Fe3+) promotes the deprotonation of catechol under neutral and even acidic conditions. The radical adduct formation (RAF) reactions are both thermodynamically and kinetically favorable for all dissociation and complexation species, and OH/O- group-containing C positions are more vulnerable to •OH attack. The kinetic results show that the complexation of the four metal ions offers a wide pH range of effectiveness for catechol degradation. At pH 7, the apparent rate constant (kapp) values for different systems follow the order of catechol+Ti4+ ≈ catechol+Zn2+ > catechol+Cu2+ > catechol+Fe3+ > catechol. The mechanistic and kinetic results would greatly improve our understanding of the degradation of CATPs-metal and other organics-metal complexes in AOPs. The toxicity assessment indicates that the •OH-based AOPs have the ability for decreasing the toxicity and increasing the biodegradability during the processes of catechol degradation.

Abstract
Herein, we designed a cost-effective preparation method of nanocomposite γ-Al2O3 derived from Al-waste. The produced material has a feather-like morphology, and its adsorption of some chlorinated volatile organic compounds (Cl-VOC's) such as benzyl chloride, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride (C7H7Cl, CHCl3 and CCl4) was investigated due to their potential carcinogenic effect on humans. It showed a characteristic efficiency towards the adsorptive removal of these compounds over a long period, i.e., eight continuous weeks, at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. After 8-weeks, the adsorbed amounts of these compounds were determined as: 325.3 mg C7H7Cl, 247.6 mg CHCl3 and 253.3 mg CCl4 per g of γ-Al2O3, respectively. CCl4 was also found to be dissociatively adsorbed on the surface of γ-Al2O3, whereas CHCl3 and C7H7Cl were found to be associatively adsorbed. The prepared γ-Al2O3 has a relatively high surface area (i.e., 192.2 m2. g-1) and mesoporosity with different pore diameters in the range of 25-47 Å. Furthermore, environmental impacts of the nanocomposite γ-Al2O3 preparation were evaluated using life cycle assessment. For prepartion of adsorbent utilising 1 kg of scrap aluminium wire, it was observed that potential energy demand was 288 MJ, climate change potential was 19 kg CO2 equivalent, acidification potential was 0.115 kg SO2 equivalent and eutrophication potential was 0.018 kg PO43- equivalent.

Abstract
Nowadays, water pollution is one of the most dangerous environmental problems in the world. The presence of the so-called emerging pollutants in the different water bodies, impossible to eliminate through conventional biological and physical treatments used in wastewater treatment plants due to their persistent and recalcitrant nature, means that pollution continues growing throughout the world. The presence of these emerging pollutants involves serious risks to human and animal health for aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Therefore, in recent years, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been postulated as a viable, innovative and efficient technology for the elimination of these types of compounds from water bodies. The oxidation/reduction reactions triggered in most of these processes require a suitable catalyst. The most recent research focuses on the use and development of different types of heterogeneous catalysts, which are capable of overcoming some of the operational limitations of homogeneous processes such as the generation of metallic sludge, difficult separation of treated water and narrow working pH. This review details the current advances in the field of heterogeneous AOPs, Fenton processes and photocatalysts for the removal of different types of emerging pollutants.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysts have made outstanding advancements in pollutants elimination as well as energy and materials production over the past decades. Single-atom alloys (SAAs) are novel environmental catalysts prepared by dispersing single metal atoms on other metals. Integrating the advantages of single atom and alloys, SAAs can maximize atom utilization, reduce the use of noble metals and enhance catalytic performances. The synergistic, electronic and geometric effects of SAAs are effective to modulate the activation energy and adsorption strength, consequently breaking linear scaling relationship as well as offering an excellent catalytic activity and selectivity. Moreover, SAAs possess clear atomic structure, active sites and reaction mechanisms, providing an opportunity to tailor catalytic properties and develop effective environmental catalysts. In this review, we provide the recent progress on synthetic strategies, catalytic properties and catalyst design of SAAs. Furthermore, the applications of SAAs in environmental catalysis are introduced towards catalytic conversion and elimination of different air pollutants in many important reactions including (electrochemical) oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dehydrogenation of VOCs, CO2 conversion, NOx reduction, CO oxidation, SO3 decomposition, etc. Finally, challenges and opportunities of SAAs in a broad environmental field are proposed.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) of varying sizes and CNTs functionalised with carboxylic acids were examined by thermal desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry (TD-GCMS) to determine the degree of surface contamination of atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The CNTs could be purged of physisorbed VOCs by heating to 380 °C under a stream of purified nitrogen gas. As soon as the cleaned CNTs were exposed to atmospheric air they spontaneously adsorbed trace VOCs. As well as passive adsorption of VOCs, active sampling was carried out by pumping atmospheric air through the CNTs and comparing the results with the standard multisorbent materials Carbopack X and Tenax that are used widely for VOC trapping and analysis. The CNTs were found to trap many VOCs at a comparable level to the standard sorbent materials. Therefore, to maintain the CNTs in a pristine condition, it is recommended that they are first heated under vacuum to remove residual physisorbed VOCs, and then stored under vacuum or in a purified inert gas atmosphere. CNTs need to be cleaned at high temperature under vacuum and stored in an inert gas environment to prevent immediate contamination by adsorbed trace atmospheric VOCs.![]()
