Abstract
Blast furnace dust (BFD) is the solid powder and particulate matter produced by dust removal process in ironmaking industry. The element composition of BFD is complex, and a direct return to sintering will lead to heavy metal enrichment and blast furnace lining corrosion. In recent years, the application of BFD in wastewater treatment has attracted widespread attention. Based on the mechanisms of action of BFD in wastewater, this paper discusses in detail the application of BFD in iron-carbon micro-electrolysis, biological enhancement, adsorption, flocculation, and Fenton/Fenton-like reactions. Iron oxides and carbon in BFD are key substances. Thus, BFD has great potential as a raw material in wastewater treatment, and the waste utilization of BFD can be realized. However, the difference in elements and composition of BFD limits its large-scale application. We can classify BFD according to different proportions of elements. In the future, it is necessary to focus on the service life of BFD in water and whether it shall bring secondary pollution to water.

Abstract
This study demonstrated the design and fabrication of flower-like Ni/Mn-MOFs materials, and three-dimensional ultrathin flower-like Ni/Mn/MC microspheres were fabricated by embedding metal or metal oxide nanoparticles into a porous carbon skeleton via high-temperature pyrolysis at 600 °C and used for the electrocatalytic degradation of ceftriaxone sodium. This unique ultrathin porous flower-like structure can expose more active sites, provide rapid ion/electron transfer, and improve electrocatalytic activity. Meanwhile, the excellent electrical conductivity of the carbon skeleton, as well as the rational composition and synergistic effect of the two components, can promote the generation of active radicals (•OH and •O2-) in the reaction system, which accelerates the electrochemical degradation process and improves the electrocatalytic degradation performance. The results showed that the Ni/Mn/MC-5:1 composite prepared when the molar ratio of Ni: Mn was 5:1 exhibited the best electrocatalytic degradation performance for the degradation of sodium ceftriaxone. The composites showed 98.2% degradation of ceftriaxone sodium in 120 min and maintained sound degradation after 20 cycles. Therefore, we concluded that this novel multicomponent composite has good electrocatalytic activity and stability for the degradation of antibiotic wastewater.

Abstract
In situ electroreduction of O2 to H2O2 by using electrons as reagents is known as a green process, which is highly desirable for environmental remediation and chemical industries. However, the development of a cost-effective electrode with superior H2O2 synthesis rate and stability is challenging. A self-supported carbon membrane (CM) was prepared in this study from activated carbon and phenolic resin by carbonization under a H2 atmosphere. It was employed as the cathode to build a flow-through electrochemical membrane reactor (FT-ECMR) for electrosynthesis of H2O2. The results showed that the CM had a small pore size (34 nm), a high porosity (42.3%), and a high surface area (450.7 m2 g-1). In contrast to most of the state-of-the-art self-supported carbon electrode reported in the previous works, the FT-ECMR exhibited a high concentration of continuous and stable H2O2 electrosynthesis (1042 mg L-1) as well as a H2O2 synthesis rate of 5.21 mg h-1 cm-2. It had also demonstrated a high oxygen conversion (0.37%) and current efficiency (88%). The outstanding performance of the FT-ECMR for H2O2 synthesis was attributed to the enhanced mass transfer of the reactor, the existence of a relatively high surface area of CM, and the abundant disordered carbon structures (sp3-C, defects, and edges). In conclusion, our work highlighted using the FT-ECMR with the CM to synthesize H2O2 efficiently and cost-effectively.

[PMID: 37076085 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Carbon-based sandwich-like electrocatalyst with a hierarchical structure, carbon sheet (CS)-loaded Ce-doped SnO2 nanoparticles, were successfully prepared using a simple method, which presented a high-efficiency electrocatalytic performance for tetracycline decomposition. Among them, Sn0.75Ce0.25Oy/CS exhibits superior catalytic activity, such as more than 95% of tetracycline was removed (120 min), and over 90% of total organic carbon was mineralized (480 min). It is found from morphology observation and computational fluid dynamics simulation that the layered structure is conducive to improving the mass transfer efficiency. Through X-Ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectrum, and density functional theory calculation analyze that the structural defect in Sn0.75Ce0.25Oy caused by Ce doping is considered to play the key role. Moreover, electrochemical measurements and degradation experiments further prove that the outstanding catalytic performance is attributable to the initiated synergistic effect established between CS and Sn0.75Ce0.25Oy. These results explain the effectiveness of Sn0.75Ce0.25Oy/CS for the remediation of tetracycline-contaminated water and mitigating the potential risks and imply that the Sn0.75Ce0.25Oy/CS composite has a deeply practical value in tetracycline wastewater degradation and a promise for further application.
