Abstract
In the marine boundary layer (MBL), chlorine (Cl) and chlorine monoxide (ClO) are powerful oxidants with high concentrations. The gas-liquid interface is also ubiquitous in the MBL as a favorable site for atmospheric reactions. Understanding the role of water in Cl/ClO radical chemistry is essential for predicting their behavior in the atmosphere and developing effective strategies for mitigating their harmful effects. However, the research studies on the system of Cl/ClO radicals on the surface of water droplets are still insufficient. In previous studies, we have found unique results related to the hydroxyl radical at the interface using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD). In this work, we have used AIMD to investigate interactions between Cl/ClO radicals and water molecules at the gas-liquid interface. Radical mobility, radial distribution functions, coordination, and population analyses were conducted to investigate the surface preference, bonding pattern, and track Cl/ClO radicals in the water droplets. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) analysis was conducted to compare the results at the gas-liquid interface with those in the gas phase. We found that Cl/ClO radicals tend to remain near the gas-liquid interface in water droplet systems and outside of water clusters in gas phase systems. The ClO radical can form O*-H and Cl-O bonds with water molecules; however, neither the O*-O hemibond nor the Cl-H bond was detected in all systems. Different dominant structures were obtained for ClO in the interface and gas phase. The ClO radical can be bonded to one water molecule from its oxygen side, (H2O)0-Cl-O*-(H2O)1 at the interface, or to two water molecules from the chlorine and oxygen sides, (H2O)1-Cl-O*-(H2O)1 in the gas phase. Meanwhile, the Cl radical can only form a dominant structure like Cl*-(H2O)1 at the gas-liquid interface by making a Cl*-O hemibond. Providing a thorough explanation of the Cl/ClO radical behavior at the gas-liquid interface, this study will improve our understanding of the MBL's oxidizing capacity and pollution causes.

Degradation of Azithromycin from aqueous solution using Chlorine-ferrous- oxidation: ANN-GA modeling and Daphnia magna biotoxicity test assessment. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 214:114026. [PMID: 35977588 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114026] [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: 05/21/2022] [Revised: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Azithromycin (AZM), an antibacterial considered one of the most consumed drugs, especially during the period against the Covid 19 pandemic, and it is one of the persistent contaminants that can be released into aquatic ecosystems. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a Fenton-like process (chlorine/iron) for the degradation of AZM in an aqueous medium by determining the impact of several factors (the initial concentration of (FeSO4, NaClO, pollutant), and the initial pH) on the degradation rate. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on the Box-Wilson design as well as the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling combined with a genetic algorithm (GA) approaches were used to determine the optimal levels of the selected variables and the optimal rate of degradation. The quadratic model of multi-linear regression developed indicated that the optimal conditions were a concentration of chlorine of 600 μM, the concentration of AZM is 32.8 mg/L, the mass of the catalyst FeSO4 is 3.5 mg and a pH of 2.5, these optimal values gave a predicted and experimental yield of 64.05% and 70% respectively, the lack of fit test in RSM modeling (F0 = 3.31 which is inferior to Fcritic (0.05, 10.4) = 5.96) indicates that the true regression function is not linear therefore, the ANN-GA modeling as non-linear regression indicated that the optimal conditions were a concentration of chlorine of 256 μM, the concentration of AZM is 5 mg/L, the mass of the catalyst FeSO4 is 9.5 mg and a pH of 2.8, these optimal values gave a predicted and experimental yield of 79.69% and close to 80% respectively, Furthermore, biotoxicity tests were conducted to confirm the performance of our process using bio-indicators called daphnia (Daphnia magna), which demonstrated the efficacy of the like-Fenton process after 4 h of degradation.
