[PMID: 38364919 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141437] [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: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
Different organic compounds in aquatic bodies have been recognized as an emerging issue in Environmental Chemistry. The gamma irradiation technique, as one of the advanced oxidation techniques, has been widely investigated in past decades as a technique for the degradation of organic molecules, such as dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, which show high persistence to degradation. This review gives an overview of what has been achieved so far using gamma irradiation for different organic compound degradations giving an explanation of the mechanisms of degradations as well as the corresponding limitations and drawbacks, and the answer to why this technique has not yet widely come to life. Also, a new approach, recently presented in the literature, regards coupling gamma irradiation with other techniques and materials, as the latest trend. A critical evaluation of the most recent advances achieved by coupling gamma irradiation with other methods and/or materials, as well as describing the reaction mechanisms of coupling, that is, additional destabilization of molecules achieved by coupling, emphasizing the advantages of the newly proposed approach. Finally, it was concluded what are the perspectives and future directions towards its commercialization since this technique can contribute to waste minimization i.e. not waste transfer to other media. Summarizing and generalization the model of radiolytic degradation with and without coupling with other techniques can further guide designing a new modular, mobile method that will satisfy all the needs for its wide commercial application.

Yang G, Wang J. Enhanced antibiotic degradation and hydrogen production of deacetoxycephalosporin C fermentation residue by gamma radiation coupled with nano zero-valent iron. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127439. [PMID: 34638079 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/04/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Antibiotic fermentation residue (AFR) has been categorized as hazardous waste in China. Anaerobic biohydrogen fermentation may be a promising technology for handling AFR, which could achieve dual goals of waste treatment and clean energy production at the same time. However, the low hydrogen yield and low removal efficiency of residual antibiotics are two major factors limiting the AFR biohydrogen fermentation process. This work firstly applied gamma radiation (50 kGy) to remove the residual antibiotic in AFR and improve the bioavailability of organic matters, then adding nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) (100-1000 mg/L) to further enhance the AFR biohydrogen fermentation performance. Results showed that residual deacetoxycephalosporin C in AFR was removed with a high efficiency of 98.6%, and hydrogen yield achieved 20.45 mL/g-VSadded with the combined approach of gamma radiation pretreatment and 500 mg/L nZVI addition, which was 139.2% higher compared to the control experimental result. The combined approach also promoted the biohydrogen production rate, decreased the lag phase of hydrogen production, and increased the organics utilization. Microbiological analysis revealed that highly efficient hydrogen-producing genera Clostridium sensu stricto were enriched in much higher abundance with the combined approach, which might be the fundamental mechanism for the enhanced AFR fermentation performance.

Yang G, Wang J. Biohydrogen production by co-fermentation of antibiotic fermentation residue and fallen leaves: Insights into the microbial community and functional genes. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 337:125380. [PMID: 34120061 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.125380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/02/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
This investigation explored the co-fermentation of antibiotic fermentation residue (AFR) and fallen leaves for enhancing biohydrogen production, and analyzed the mechanism from the aspects of microbial activity, microbial community and functional genes. The results showed that the optimal mixing ratio of AFR to leaves was 25:75 (VS basis), which balanced the substrate condition and synergistically enhanced the biohydrogen productivity, and the hydrogen yield was 37.45 mL/g-VSadded, which was 438.8% and 9.2% higher compared to the sole AFR fermentation and the sole leaves fermentation, respectively. The co-fermentation also improved the organics utilization and induced a more effective metabolic pathway. Further microbiology analysis found that the co-fermentation promoted the microbial activity, enriched more hydrogen-producing bacteria (Clostridium sensu stricto 1), and enhanced the expression of hydrogen-producing functional genes (e.g. genes encoding ferredoxin hydrogenase (EC 1.12.7.2) and pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase (EC 1.2.7.1)), which were fundamentally responsible for the synergistic biohydrogen fermentation.
