Abstract
The aim of the current study was to screen and identify heavy metal (chromium, cadmium, and lead) associated bacteria from petroleum-contaminated soil of district Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan to develop ecofriendly technology for contaminated soil remediation. The petroleum-contaminated soil was collected from 99 different localities of district Muzaffarabad and the detection of heavy metals via an atomic absorption spectrometer. The isolation and identification of heavy metals-associated bacteria were done via traditional and molecular methods. Resistogram and antibiogram analysis were also performed using agar well diffusion and agar disc diffusion methods. The isolated bacteria were classified into species, i.e., B. paramycoides, B. albus, B. thuringiensis, B. velezensis, B. anthracis, B. pacificus Burkholderia arboris, Burkholderia reimsis, Burkholderia aenigmatica, and Streptococcus agalactiae. All heavy metals-associated bacteria showed resistance against both high and low concentrations of chromium while sensitive towards high and low concentrations of lead in the range of 3.0 ± 0.0 mm to 13.0 ± 0.0 mm and maximum inhibition was recorded when cadmium was used. Results revealed that some bacteria showed sensitivity towards Sulphonamides, Norfloxacin, Erythromycin, and Tobramycin. It was concluded that chromium-resistant bacteria could be used as a favorable source for chromium remediation from contaminated areas and could be used as a potential microbial filter.

Removal enhancement of persistent basic fuchsin dye from wastewater using an eco-friendly, cost-effective Fenton process with sodium percarbonate and waste iron catalyst. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:43673-43686. [PMID: 38904874 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33845-2] [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: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
In this comprehensive investigation, we evaluate the efficacy of the Fenton process in degrading basic fuchsin (BF), a resistant dye. Our primary focus is on the utilization of readily available, environmentally benign, and cost-effective reagents for the degradation process. Furthermore, we delve into various operational parameters, including the quantity of sodium percarbonate (SPC), pH levels, and the dimensions of waste iron bars, to optimize the treatment efficiency. In the course of our research, we employed an initial SPC concentration of 0.5 mM, a pH level of 3, a waste iron bar measuring 3.5 cm in length and 0.4 cm in diameter, and a processing time of 10 min. Our findings reveal the successful elimination of the BF dye, even when subjected to treatment with diverse salts and surfactants under elevated temperatures and acidic conditions (pH below 3). This underscores the robustness of the Fenton process in purifying wastewater contaminated with dye compounds. The outcomes of our study not only demonstrate the efficiency of the Fenton process but highlight its adaptability to address dye contamination challenges across various industries. Critically, this research pioneers the application of waste iron bars as a source of iron in the Fenton reaction, introducing a novel, sustainable approach that enhances the environmental and economic viability of the process. This innovative use of recycled materials as catalysts represents a significant advancement in sustainable chemical engineering practices.

Abstract
A plausible approach to remediating petroleum contaminated soil is the integration of chemical and biological treatments. Using appropriate chemical oxidation, the integrated remediation can be effectively achieved to stimulate the biodegradation process, consequently bolstering the overall remediation effect. In this study, an integrated biological-chemical-biological strategy was proposed. Both conventional microbial degradation techniques and a modified Fenton method were employed, and the efficacy of this strategy on crude oil contaminated soil, as well as its impact on pollutant composition, soil environment, and soil microorganism, was assessed. The results showed that this integrated remediation realized an overall 68.3 % removal rate, a performance 1.7 times superior to bioremediation alone and 2.1 times more effective than chemical oxidation alone, elucidating that the biodegradation which had become sluggish was invigorated by the judicious application of chemical oxidation. By optimizing the positioning of chemical treatment, the oxidization was allowed to act predominantly on refractory substances like resins, thus effectively enhancing pollutant biodegradability. Concurrently, this oxidating maneuver contributed to a significant increase in concentrations of dissolvable nutrients while maintaining appropriate soil pH levels, thereby generating favorable growth conditions for microorganism. Moreover, attributed to the proliferation and accumulation of degrading bacteria during the initial bioremediation phase, the microbial growth subsequent to oxidation showed rapid resurgence and the relative abundance of typical petroleum-degrading bacteria, particularly Proteobacteria, was substantially increased, which played a significant role in enhancing overall remediation effect. Our research validated the feasibility of biological-chemical-biological strategy and elucidated its correlating mechanisms, presenting a salient reference for the further studies concerning the integrated remediation of petroleum contaminated soil.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 347:119077.

Abstract
In this study, a novel acid-modified red mud biochar catalyst (MMBC) was synthesized by industrial waste red mud (RM) and peanut shell (PSL) to activate peroxodisulfate (PDS) for the degradation of TC. Meanwhile, MMBC exhibited remarkable adsorption capacity, reaching a 60% removal ratio of TC within 60 min (equilibrium adsorption capacity = 12 mg/g). After adding PDS, MMBC/PDS system achieved a 93.8% removal ratio of TC within 60 min. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) results showed that 1O2 played a dominant role in the degradation of TC and O2•- was the mainly precursor for the production of 1O2 in the MMBC/PDS system. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis showed that the surface Fe(II), -OH and -COOH provided the active sites for the activation of PDS by MMBC. In addition, acid modification optimised the surface structure of the catalyst and enhanced the conversion of Fe (mainly Fe(III) to Fe(II)), thereby improving the adsorption and catalytic efficiency of MMBC. This study confirmed that modified red mud biochar is an efficient composite with both adsorption and catalysis, providing new ideas for the practical treatment of antibiotic wastewater and the resource utilization of red mud.

Abstract
In this work, the efficiency of the treated plant Carpobrotus edulis (TPCE) as an effective biosorbent for removing the orange G (OG) and crystal violet (CV) dyes from aqueous solution was investigated. TPCE was characterized by FT-IR, Ss, pHz and SEM-EDX. The influence of parameters such as bioadsorbent dose, contact time, initial concentration, temperature and pH was tested using Taguchi experimental design (TED) with L8 orthogonal array (five parameters in two levels). The initial concentration, bioadsorbent dose and contact time are the main parameters for the removal of CV and OG dyes, while the effects of pH and temperature are minimal. The maximum removal efficiency of dyes under optimal operating conditions was 97.93 % and 92.68 %, respectively. which at the optimal conditions of 3 g/L, pH 10, 20 mg/L, 35 °C, 5 min and 15 g/L, pH 4, 20 mg/L, 35 °C, 60 min for CV and OG dyes, respectively. The results of response surface methodology (RSM) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the initial concentration Ci of CV dye was the most significant factor in the adsorption efficiency with a contribution of 51.56 %. On the other hand, the OG bioadsorbent dose is the most important factor in adsorption efficiency with a percentage contribution of 56.41 %. The Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTB) method shows that dyes strongly bind the adsorbent surface. Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations show significant interactions between dye and adsorbent surface. The reusability of biomaterial indicated that the adsorption performance dropped very slightly up to five cycles.

Abstract
Membranes are ubiquitous tools for modern water treatment technology that critically eliminate hazardous materials such as organic, inorganic, heavy metals, and biomedical pollutants. Nowadays, nano-membranes are of particular interest for myriad applications such as water treatment, desalination, ion exchange, ion concentration control, and several kinds of biomedical applications. However, this state-of-the-art technology suffers from some drawbacks, e.g., toxicity and fouling of contaminants, which makes the synthesis of green and sustainable membranes indeed safety-threatening. Typically, sustainability, non-toxicity, performance optimization, and commercialization are concerns centered on manufacturing green synthesized membranes. Thus, critical issues related to toxicity, biosafety, and mechanistic aspects of green-synthesized nano-membranes have to be systematically and comprehensively reviewed and discussed. Herein we evaluate various aspects of green nano-membranes in terms of their synthesis, characterization, recycling, and commercialization aspects. Nanomaterials intended for nano-membrane development are classified in view of their chemistry/synthesis, advantages, and limitations. Indeed, attaining prominent adsorption capacity and selectivity in green-synthesized nano-membranes requires multi-objective optimization of a number of materials and manufacturing parameters. In addition, the efficacy and removal performance of green nano-membranes are analyzed theoretically and experimentally to provide researchers and manufacturers with a comprehensive image of green nano-membrane efficiency under real environmental conditions.

Abstract
Several oxidative treatment technologies, such as ozonation or Fenton reaction, have been studied and applied to remove monocyclic hydroaromatic carbon from water. Despite decades of application, little seems to be known about formation of transformation products while employing different ozone- or ∙OH-based treatment methods and their fate in biodegradation. In this study, we demonstrate that O3/H2O2 treatment of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene (BTE), and benzoic acid (BA) leads to less hydroxylated aromatic transformation products compared to UV/H2O2 as reference system - this at a similar ∙OH exposure and parent compound removal efficiency. Aerobic biodegradation tests after oxidation of 0.15 mM BA (12.6 mg C L-1 theoretical DOC) revealed that a less biodegradable DOC fraction > 4 mg C L-1 was formed in both oxidative treatments compared to the BA control. No advantage of ozonation over UV/H2O2 treatment was observed in terms of mineralization capabilities, however, we detected less transformation products after oxidation and biodegradation using high-resolution mass spectrometry. Biodegradation of BA that was not oxidized was more complete with minimal organic residual. Overall, the study provides new insights into the oxidation of monocyclic aromatics and raises questions regarding the biodegradability of oxidation products, which is relevant for several treatment applications.

Abstract
Chemical oxidation is a promising technology for the remediation of organics-contaminated soils. However, residual oxidants and transformation products have adverse effects on microbial activities. This work aimed at moderate chemical oxidation coupled with microbial degradation (MOMD) for the removal of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) by optimizing the type and dosage of oxidants. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4), Fe2+ + sodium persulfate (Fe2+ + PS), Fenton's reagent (Fe2+ + H2O2), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were compared for BaP removal from loam clay and sandy soils. Overall, the removal efficiency of BaP by a moderate dose of oxidant coupled indigenous microorganism was slightly lower than that by a high dose of relevant oxidant. The contributions of microbial degradation to the total removal of BaP varied for different oxidants and soils. The removal efficiency of BaP from loam clay sandy soil by a moderate dose of KMnO4 (25 mmol/L) was 94.3 ± 1.1 % and 92.5 ± 1.8 %, respectively, which were both relatively higher than those under other conditions. The indirect carbon footprint yielded by the moderate dose of oxidants was 39.2-72.8 % less than that by the complete oxidation. A moderate dose of oxidants also reduced disturbances to soil pH and OC. The microbial communities after MOMD treatment were dominated by Burkholderiaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Alicyclobacillaceae, and Oxalobacteraceae. These dominant microorganisms promoted the removal of BaP through the expression of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-ring hydroxylated dioxygenase gene. Compared with complete chemical oxidation, MOMD is also a promising technique with the utilization of indigenous microorganism for remediating BaP-contaminated soils.

Treatment of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil by combination of electro-Fenton and biosurfactant-assisted bioslurry process. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 319:138013. [PMID: 36731662 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Removing petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) from polluted soil is challenging due to their low bioavailability and degradability. In this study, an experiment was carried out to treat soil polluted with petroleum hydrocarbon using a hybrid electro-Fenton (with BDD anode electrode) and biological processes stimulated with long-chain rhamnolipids (biosurfactants). Electro-Fenton treatment was applied as a pretreatment before the biological process to enhance PHC biodegradability, which would benefit the subsequent biological process. The effects of initial pH, hydroxide concentration, soil organic matter composition, PHCs intermediates during the electro-Fenton process, and total numbers of bacteria in the biological process were analyzed to determine the optimum conditions. The results showed that the optimized electrolysis time for the electro-Fenton was 12 h. The change induced during pretreatment at a specified time was found suitable for the biological process stage and led to 93.6% PHC degradation in combination with the electro-Fenton-and-biological process after 72 h. The combined system's performance was almost 40% higher than individual electro-Fenton and biological treatments. GC-MS analysis confirms the formation of 9-octadecen-1-ol (Z), 2-heptadecene, 1-nonadecene, 1-heneicosene, and pentacosane as fragmentation during the PHCs degradation process. Thus, the electro-Fenton process as pretreatment combined with a biological process stimulated with rhamnolipids (biosurfactants) could be effectively applied to remediate soil polluted with PHCs. However, the system needs further research and investigation to optimize electrolysis time and biosurfactant dose to advance this approach in the soil remediation process.

Abstract
Marine oil spills emanating from wells, pipelines, freighters, tankers, and storage facilities draw public attention and necessitate quick and environmentally friendly response measures. It is sometimes feasible to contain the oil with booms and collect it with skimmers or burn it, but this is impracticable in many circumstances, and all that can be done without causing further environmental damage is adopting natural attenuation, particularly through microbial biodegradation. Biodegradation can be aided by carefully supplying biologically accessible nitrogen and phosphorus to alleviate some of the microbial growth constraints at the shoreline. This review discussed the characteristics of oil spills, origin, ecotoxicology, health impact of marine oils spills, and responses, including the variety of remedies and responses to oil spills using biological techniques. The different bioremediation and bio-dispersant treatment technologies are then described, with a focus on the use of green surfactants and their advances, benefits/drawbacks. These technologies were thoroughly explained, with a timeline of research and recent studies. Finally, the hurdles that persist as a result of spills are explored, as well as the measures that must be taken and the potential for the development of existing treatment technologies, all of which must be linked to the application of integrated procedures.

Abstract
Contaminated soil containing toxic metals and metalloids is found everywhere globally. As a consequence of adsorption and precipitation reactions, metals are comparatively immobile in subsurface systems. Hence remediation techniques in such contaminated sites have targeted the solid phase sources of metals such as sludges, debris, contaminated soils, or wastes. Over the last three decades, the accumulation of these toxic substances inside the soil has increased dramatically, putting the ecosystem and human health at risk. Pollution of heavy metal have posed severe impacts on human, and it affects the environment in different ways, resulting in industrial anger in many countries. Various procedures, including chemical, biological, physical, and integrated approaches, have been adopted to get rid of this type of pollution. Expenditure, timekeeping, planning challenges, and state-of-the-art gadget involvement are some drawbacks that need to be properly handled. Recently in situ metal immobilization, plant restoration, and biological methods have changed the dynamics and are considered the best solution for removing metals from soil. This review paper critically evaluates and analyzes the numerous approaches for preparing heavy metal-free soil by adopting different soil remediation methods.

Treatment of Wastewater from Thermal Desorption for Remediation of Oil-Contaminated Soil by the Combination of Multiple Processes. J CHEM-NY 2022.

Abstract
Thermal desorption (TD) is one of the methods commonly used to remediate contaminated soil. However, as water is the liquid adsorbent of the off-gas treatment system in the TD stage, the wastewater generated after multiple cycles in the TD stage has low biodegradability and contains complex organic pollutants. In addition to petroleum hydrocarbon, there are also a lot of ammonia, emulsified oil, phenols, aldehydes, and ketones. In this study, effective removal of contaminants was achieved using a combined process of demulsification and flocculation (DF), ammonia stripping (AS), Fenton oxidation (FO), and reverse osmosis (RO). The combined process was optimized, and the maximum chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH3-N, turbidity, and extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (EPH) removal efficiencies reached 93.3%, 79.8%, 97.6%, and 99.9%, respectively. The FO was the key process for the efficient removal of contaminants. Ultraviolet-visible (UV/Vis), excitation-emission matrix (EEM), fluorescence spectroscopy, and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) showed that refractory macromolecular organic pollutants in water were removed, especially aromatics, phenols, and conjugated aldehydes or conjugated ketones, and further ring cleavage of benzene rings and carbocycles with carbon double bonds was observed. The cost-benefit analysis of the combined process was also carried out. The operating cost was 8.73 US$/m3, indicating that the combined process involved moderate costs for recalcitrant wastewater treatment. No studies have been published on combined processes for the treatment of wastewater from TD for the remediation of oil-contaminated soils. Therefore, this study could provide fundamental information based on experimental results and guidelines for wastewater treatment in engineering applications.

Abstract
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been identified as emerging contaminants, which poses a great threat to human health and ecosystem. Pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, brominated flame retardants, steroid hormones and alkylphenols are representative of this type of contaminant, which are closely related to daily life. Unfortunately, many wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) do not treat EDCs as targets in the normal treatment process, resulting in EDCs entering the environment. Few studies have systematically reviewed the related content of EDCs in terms of occurrence, harm and remediation. For this reason, in this article, the sources and exposure routes of common EDCs are systematically described. The existence of EDCs in the environment is mainly related to human activities (Wastewater discharges and industrial activities). The common hazards of these EDCs are clarified based on available toxicological data. At the same time, the mechanism and effect of some mainstream EDCs remediation technologies (such as adsorption, advanced oxidation, membrane bioreactor, constructed wetland, etc.) are separately mentioned. Moreover, our perspectives are provided for further research of EDCs.

Abstract
Due to increasing industrialization, soils are increasingly contaminated by polycyclic aromatics such as pyrene and need gentle treatment to keep the soil functioning. This study applied a double dielectric barrier discharge (DDBD) plasma reactor and composting reactor to remediate pyrene-contaminated soil. The effect of peak-to-peak applied voltages on the remediation efficiency of pyrene was investigated. The experimental results illustrate that pyrene remediation efficiency increased from 43% to 85% when the peak-to-peak applied voltage was increased from 28.0 to 35.8 kV. When using the combined method of DDBD and composting, 90-99% of pyrene could be removed, while a reduction of 76.5% was achieved using only composting, indicating the superiority of the combined system. Moreover, the authors could demonstrate that DDBD plasma treatment improves humification in the post-composting process as humic acid (HA) concentrations increased to 7.7 mg/g with an applied voltage of 35.8 kV; when composting was used as the sole treatment method, only 3.4 mg/g HA were produced. The microbial activity in the DDBD plasma-treated soil peaked on the 5th day and had a 2nd rise afterwards. The authors demonstrate that the combined technology of DDBD plasma and composting is a promising method for soil remediation with persistent organic pollutants. This treatment approach improves pollutant degradation efficiency and facilitates further humification, potentially restoring the function of contaminated soil. This approach could be considered a cost-effective and green strategy for soil remediation with persistent organic pollutants.

Abstract
Sulfate radical (SO4•-) based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) is a very important chemical oxidation technology for the degradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants in water and has been well developed. Recently, transition metals or their oxides-modified biochar has been widely used as the catalyst to catalyze peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PS) in SR-AOPs due to their outstanding properties (e.g., large surface area, high stability, abound catalytic sites, and diversity of material design, etc.). These composite materials not only combine the respective beneficial characteristics of biochar and transition metals (or their oxides) but also often present synergistic effects between the components. In this review, we present the synthesis of different types of transition metal (or metal oxides)/biochar-based catalysts and their application in SR-AOPs. The catalytic mechanism, including the generation process of free radicals and other reaction pathways on the surface of the catalyst were also carefully discussed. Particular attention has been paid to the synergistic effects between the components that result in enhanced catalytic performance. At the end of this review, the future development prospects of this technology are proposed.

Abstract
At present, there are growing concerns over the increasing release of trace metals in the Sundarbans mangrove areas in Bangladesh due to nearby shipbreaking and metallurgical industries, untreated waste discharge, navigation activities, and other natural processes that deposit trace metals into soils. The current study investigated the spatial distribution, contamination level, and ecotoxicity of eight trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni) in Sundarbans soils. Results revealed that all the trace metals except Cr were present in higher concentrations compared to Earth’s shale and/or upper continental crust. Principal component analysis and Pearson correlation showed strong positive correlations (p < 0.05) between Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn; Ni with Mn and Cr. There were significant associations (p < 0.05) of % clay and total organic carbon (TOC) with Pb-Ni-Cr and negative correlations of pH with all the trace metals. The hierarchical cluster analysis grouped Pb, Ni, and Cd into one distinct cluster, suggesting they are derived from the same sources, possibly from anthropogenic activities. Geo accumulation index (I-geo), enrichment factor (EF), contamination factor (CF), and spatial distribution showed moderately polluted soils with Ni, Pb, and Cd (EF = 3–7.4, CF = 1–2.8, I-geo = 0–0.9) and low pollution by Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn (EF < 3, CF < 1, I-geo < 0). The ecological risk index (RI) revealed that S-4 (RI = 114.02) and S-5 (RI = 100.04) belonged to moderate risk, and other areas posed a low risk (RI < 95). The individual contribution of Cd (25.9–73.7%), Pb (9.2–29.1%), and Ni (9.6–26.4%) to RI emphasized these metals were the foremost concern in the Sundarbans mangroves due to their long persistence time and high toxicity, even if they were present in low concentrations.

Abstract
Based on the fact that the photo-Fenton process can directly use solar energy to degrade various pollutants, it has received widespread attention. However, it has attracted widespread attention due to the rapid recombination of photo-generated carriers and the low light response range. Therefore, the construction of a Z-scheme heterojunction in this paper can effectively enhance the electron-hole separation, increase the reduction and oxidation potential, and enhance the redox capability of the photocatalysis. This paper reports the successful preparation of visible-light-induced ZnFe2O4/BiOI composite photocatalysis. There is a Z-scheme heterojunction structure of ZnFe2O4 and BiOI. At the same time, the PL and UV absorption spectra showed that the light absorption performance of the composite nanomaterials was enhanced, the photo-generated carrier recombination rate was reduced, and the photo-Fenton performance was also significantly improved. And the photocurrent of ZnFe2O4/BiOI is more than 27 times that of pure ZnFe2O4. In addition, ZnFe2O4/BiOI can degrade the simulated pollutant RhB 100% within 20 min under simulated sunlight. It shows that ZnFe2O4/BiOI binary composite has excellent photo-Fenton properties. In addition, ZnFe2O4/BiOI still maintains a high photo-Fenton ability after three cycles. Therefore, it has potential application prospects of the industrial photodegradation of organic pollutants.

Periodate activated by manganese oxide/biochar composites for antibiotic degradation in aqueous system: Combined effects of active manganese species and biochar. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 300:118939. [PMID: 35121015 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.118939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2021] [Revised: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Developing efficient catalysts for oxytetracycline (OTC) degradation is an ideal strategy to tackle environmental pollution, and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been widely used for its degradation. However, the studies on the activation of periodate (PI) by biochar and its composites in recent years have been scarcely reported. In this study, we focused on the degradation of OTC by PI activation with manganese oxide/biochar composites (MnxOy@BC). Experimental results showed that the OTC degradation rate of MnxOy@BC/PI system reached almost 98%, and the TOC removal efficiency reached 75%. Various characteristic analysis proved that PI could be activated efficiently by surface functional groups and manganese-active species (Mn(II), Mn(III), and Mn(IV)) on biochar, and various reactive species such as singlet oxygen (1O2), hydroxyl radical (∙OH), and superoxide radical (O2∙-) can be observed via radical quenching experiments. Based on this, three degradation pathways were proposed. Furthermore, MnxOy@BC and PI were combined to degrade environmental pollutants, which achieved excellent practical benefits and had great practical application potential. We hope that it can provide new ideas for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) applying for wastewater treatment in the future.

Cadmium Stabilization and Redox Transformation Mechanism in Maize Using Nanoscale Zerovalent-Iron-Enriched Biochar in Cadmium-Contaminated Soil. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 11:1074. [PMID: 35448802 PMCID: PMC9024939 DOI: 10.3390/plants11081074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a readily available metal in the soil matrix, which obnoxiously affects plants and microbiota; thus, its removal has become a global concern. For this purpose, a multifunctional nanoscale zerovalent-iron enriched biochar (nZVI/BC) was used to alleviate the Cd-toxicity in maize. Results revealed that the nZVI/BC application significantly enhanced the plant growth (57%), chlorophyll contents (65%), intracellular permeability (61%), and biomass production index (76%) by restraining Cd uptake relative to Cd control. A Cd stabilization mechanism was proposed, suggesting that high dispersion of organic functional groups (C-O, C-N, Fe-O) over the surface of nZVI/BC might induce complex formations with cadmium by the ion exchange process. Besides this, the regular distribution and deep insertion of Fe particles in nZVI/BC prevent self-oxidation and over-accumulation of free radicals, which regulate the redox transformation by alleviating Cd/Fe+ translations in the plant. Current findings have exposed the diverse functions of nanoscale zerovalent-iron-enriched biochar on plant health and suggest that nZVI/BC is a competent material, feasible to control Cd hazards and improve crop growth and productivity in Cd-contaminated soil.

Abstract
Macrolide antibiotics (MAs), as a typical emerging pollutant, are widely detected in environmental media. When entering the environment, MAs can interfere with the growth, development and reproduction of organisms, which has attracted extensive attention. However, there are few reviews on the occurrence characteristics, migration and transformation law, ecotoxicity and related removal technologies of MAs in the environment. In this work, combined with the existing relevant research, the migration and transformation law and ecotoxicity characteristics of MAs in the environment are summarized, and the removal mechanism of MAs is clarified. Currently, most studies on MAs are based on laboratory simulation experiments, and there are few studies on the migration and transformation mechanism between multiphase states. In addition, the cost of MAs removal technology is not satisfactory. Therefore, the following suggestions are put forward for the future research direction. The migration and transformation process of MAs between multiphase states (such as soil-water-sediment) should be focused on. Apart from exploring the new treatment technology of MAs, the upgrading and coupling of existing MAs removal technologies to meet emission standards and reduce costs should also be concerned. This review provides some theoretical basis and data support for understanding the occurrence characteristics, ecotoxicity and removal mechanism of MAs.

Abstract
Iron alginate beads (Fe-Alg) were prepared, characterized and implemented for the degradation of amoxicillin (AMX) by the heterogeneous electro-Fenton process using a graphite cathode recovered from used batteries. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that (Fe-Alg) beads have a spherical shape and the results of energy dispersive spectrometric (EDS) revealed the presence of iron in (Fe-Alg). Optimization of the operating parameters showed that a complete degradation of AMX was achieved within 90 min of heterogeneous electro-Fenton treatment by operating under these conditions: initial AMX concentration: 0.0136 mM, I = 600 mA, [Na2SO4] = 50 mM, pH = 3, T = 25 °C, ω = 360 rpm. The corresponding chemical oxygen demand (COD) abatement was 50%. Increasing the contact time increased the COD abatement to 85.71%, after 150 min of heterogeneous electro-Fenton treatment. The results of the kinetic study by using nonlinear methods demonstrated that the reaction of AMX degradation obeyed to a pseudo-second-order kinetic. Iron content of 4.63% w/w was determined by the acid digestion method. After 5 cycles of use, the Alg-Fe catalyst depletion was only 8%. Biodegradability was remarkably improved after electro-Fenton pretreatment, since it increased from 0.07 initially to 0.36. The heterogeneous electro-Fenton process had efficiently eliminated AMX and it increased the biodegradability of the treated solution.

Abstract
The heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction is an advanced oxidation process, which is widely recognized for its efficient removal of recalcitrant organic contaminants. In recent years, the construction of efficient and reusable heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts has been extensively investigated. Recently, the use of bimetallic oxides and their complexes as catalysts for Fenton-like reaction has attracted intense attention due to their high catalytic performance and excellent stability over a wide pH range. In this article, the fundamental mechanisms of Fenton-like reactions were briefly introduced. The important reports on bimetallic oxides and their complexes are classified in detail, which are mainly divided into Fe-based and Fe-free bimetallic catalysts. We then focused in depth on the performance of their respective applications in Fenton-like reactions. Special consideration has been given to the respective contributions and synergistic mechanisms of the two metals in catalysts. Overall, it is concluded that synergistic effect of the two metals in the bimetallic catalyst can boost the utilization of hydrogen peroxide, provide adequate accessible active sites, which are all beneficial to improve catalytic performance. Finally, the current challenges in this field were proposed. Our review is expected to provide help for the application of bimetallic oxides and their complexes.

Abstract
In the present study, an investigation was conducted on the removal of polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride-acrylic-acrylamide-hydroxyethyl acrylate/ZnO nanocomposites (PDM/ZnO) through biodegradation and Fenton process coupled treatments. As revealed from the results of the chemical oxygen demand, the total organic carbon, the biochemical oxygen demand and the CO2 production analysis, PDM/ZnO could be partially biodegraded. The optimal initial pH, the mixed liquid suspended solids concentration and additional carbon source (glucose) dosage in the biodegradation were 7.0, 4.0 g/L and 1.0 g/L, respectively. On the whole, NaCl, the coexisted metal cations (Cu2+, Zn2+ and Cr3+) and additional NH4Cl inhibited the biodegradation of PDM/ZnO. PDM/ZnO was suggested to adversely affect on microbial community structure and activity. Optimum conditions for Fenton treatment were 50 mg/L Fe2+, 20 mL/L H2O2 and pH 2.0. Biodegradation showed that 64% of PDM/ZnO was removed. Besides, the combination of Fenton post-treatment could achieve an over 97% removal of PDM/ZnO. Thus, Fenton process combined biodegradation pre-treatment can act as an effective method to remove PDM/ZnO.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution remains a global environmental challenge that poses a significant threat to human life. Various methods have been explored to eliminate heavy metal pollutants from the environment. However, most methods are constrained by high expenses, processing duration, geological problems, and political issues. The immobilization of metals, phytoextraction, and biological methods have proven practical in treating metal contaminants from the soil. This review focuses on the general status of heavy metal contamination of soils, including the excessive heavy metal concentrations in crops. The assessment of the recent advanced technologies and future challenges were reviewed. Molecular and genetic mechanisms that allow microbes and plants to collect and tolerate heavy metals were elaborated. Tremendous efforts to remediate contaminated soils have generated several challenges, including the need for remediation methodologies, degrees of soil contamination, site conditions, widespread adoptions and various possibilities occurring at different stages of remediation are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Oil pollution poses a great threat to environments and makes the remediation of oil-contaminated soils an urgent task. Microorganisms are the main biological factor for oil removal in the environment but microbial remediation is greatly affected by environmental factors. For our research, we inoculated three species of bacterivorous nematodes into oil-contaminated soil to explore how bacterivorous nematodes affect soil microbial activities and community structure in contaminated soil, as well as how efficiently different nematodes remove oil pollution from the soil. Six treatments were set in this experiment: sterilized oil-contaminated soil (SOC); nematode-free soil (S); oil-contaminated soil (OC); oil-contaminated soil + Caenorhabditis elegans (OCN1); oil-contaminated soil + Cephalobus persegnis (OCN2); oil-contaminated soil + Rhabditis marina (OCN3) for a 168-day incubation experiment. After the experiment was done, the oil contents in SOC, OC, OCN1, OCN2, and OCN3 were reduced by 6.5%, 32.3%, 38.2%, 42.8%, and 40.2%, respectively, compared with the beginning of the experiment. The amount of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) of Gram-negative bacteria in OC, OCN1, OCN2, and OCN3 was increased by 50.9%, 43.4%, 37.7%, and 47.9%, respectively, compared with that of S. During the 168-day incubation period, the maximum growth of the number of nematodes in OCN1, OCN2, and OCN3 compared with the initial number of the nematodes were 2.25-, 1.52-, and 1.65-fold, respectively. The amount of oil residue in the contaminated soil negatively correlated with the populations of nematodes, total microorganisms, Gram-negative bacteria, actinomycetes, and eukaryotes. Thus, oil pollution increased the number of Gram-negative bacteria, decreased the ratio of Gram-positive bacteria/Gram-negative bacteria and Fungi/Bacteria significantly, and altered the community structure of soil microorganisms. Each species of bacterivorous nematodes has got its unique effect on the microbial activity and community structure in oil contaminated soils, but those tested can promote oil degradation and thus improve the environment of oil contaminated soils.

Abstract
Co-doped Fe2O3 spindles with different Co contents were successfully fabricated by a facile one-step hydrothermal method. The crystalline structure, morphology, optical properties, and chemical state of the as-prepared catalysts before and after photo-Fenton reaction were characterized. Co2+ incorporated into the Fe2O3 lattice was confirmed by the above characterizations. Also, the photocatalytic and photo-Fenton catalytic performances of the samples were evaluated by the degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation in the absence/presence of H2O2. The results demonstrated that Co-doped Fe2O3 spindles exhibited better catalytic degradation performance in comparison with single Fe2O3 spindles, and the sample of Co(5%)-Fe2O3 spindles displayed the highest activity and best stability. The improvement of photo-Fenton activity might be attributed to two reasons: On the one hand, Co-doped Fe2O3 spindles not only formed the Fe vacancies to reduce the band gap but also could build up an internal electric field, which inhibits electron/hole pair recombination and facilitates the transfer of photoexcited charge carriers. On the other hand, the intrinsic Co2+/Co3+ redox cycling can accelerate the circulation between Fe2+ and Fe3+ in Co(5%)-Fe2O3 spindles to facilitate H2O2 consumption and produce more ·OH radicals for TC degradation.

A hybrid computational intelligence approach for bioremediation of amoxicillin based on fungus activities from soil resources and aflatoxin B1 controls. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 299:113594. [PMID: 34467868 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.113594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2021] [Revised: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/21/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Nowadays, releasing the Emerging Pollutants (EPs) in the nature is one of the main reasons for many health and environmental disasters. Amoxicillin as an antibiotic is one of the EPs and categorized as the Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs) in hazardous materials. Accumulation of amoxicillin in the soil bulk increases the cancer risk, drug resistances and other epidemiological diseases. Hence, the soil bioremediation of antibiotics can be a solution for this problem which is more environmental-friendly system. This study technically creates a bio-engine setup in soil bulk for remediation of amoxicillin based on Aspergillus Flavus (AF) activities and Removal Percentage (RP) of amoxicillin with Aflatoxin B1 Generation (AG) controls. The main novelty is to propose a hybrid computational intelligence approach to do optimization for mechanical and biological aspects and to predict the behavior of bio-engine's effective mechanical and biological features in an intelligent way. The optimization model is formulated by the Central Composite Design (CCD) which is set by the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The prediction model is formulated by the Random Forest (RF), Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Random Tree (RT) algorithms. According to the experimental practices from real soil samples in different times and places, concentration of amoxicillin and Aflatoxin B1 are set equal to 25 mg/L (ppm) and 15 μg/L (ppb). Likewise, the outcomes of experiments in CCD-RSM computations are evaluated by curve fitting comparisons between linear, 2FI, quadratic and cubic polynomial equations with considering to regression coefficient and predicted regression coefficient values, ANOVA and optimization by sequential differentiation. Based on the results of CCD-RSM, the RP performance in the optimum conditions is measured around 86% and in 25 days after runtime, the RP and AG are balanced in the safe mode. The proposed hybrid model achieves the 0.99 accuracy. The applicability of the research is done using real field evaluations from drug industrial park in Mashhad city in Iran. Finally, a broad analysis is done and managerial insights are concluded. The main findings of the present research are: (I) with application of bioremediation from fungus activities, amoxicillin amounts can be control in soil resources with minimum AG, (II) ANFIS model has the best accuracy for smart monitoring of amoxicillin bioremediation in soil environments and (III) based on the statistical assessments Aeration Intensity and AF/Biological Waste ratio are most effective on the amoxicillin removal percentage.

Abstract
Understanding the processes of pollutants removal in soil remediation practices is crucial to apply the appropriate treatment method. Although widely employed in soil contamination events, the mechanisms of the Fenton reaction are still debatable. To investigate the catalytic performance of soils towards the degradation of p-xylene in Fenton reactions, we performed a series of experiments employing two soil samples with different physical-chemical properties, Oxisol and Alfisol. These soils were subjected to extraction procedures that separated the different types of pedogenic iron oxides (amorphous and crystalline) and produced soil fractions with different organic matter contents. We observed that Oxisol, which contains high amounts of amorphous pedogenic iron oxides, performed better in hydrogen peroxide decomposition and radical generation but worse in p-xylene degradation. These results originated from the presence of hematite in Oxisol, which has a lower catalytic activity than goethite, the pedogenic oxide present in Alfisol. Samples containing high concentrations of organic matter performed better in decomposing hydrogen peroxide but worse in degrading p-xylene due to the scavenging of active species by labile organic matter compounds.

Advanced treatment of chicken farm flushing wastewater by integrating Fenton oxidation and algal cultivation process for algal growth and nutrients removal.

Abstract
Algae based wastewater treatment has been considered as the most promising win-win strategy for nutrients removal and biomass accumulation. However, the poor linking between traditional wastewater treatment and algal cultivation limits the achievement of this goal. In this study, a novel combination of Fenton oxidation and algal cultivation (CFOAC) system was investigated for the treatment of chicken farm flushing wastewater (CFFW). Fenton oxidation (FO) was adopted to reduce the excessive ammonia nitrogen, which might inhibit the algal growth. The results showed that single FO pretreatment removed 70.5 %, 96.7 %, 86.1 %, and 96.2 % of TN, TAN, TP, and COD, respectively. The highest biomass (235.8 mg/L/d) and lipid (77.3 mg/L/d) productivities were achieved on optimized CFOAC system after 7 days batch cultivation. Accordingly, the nutrients removal efficiencies increased to almost 100 %. Further fatty acid profile analysis showed that algae grown on optimal CFOAC system accumulated a high level of total lipids (32.8 %) with C16-C18 fatty acid as the most abundant compositions (accounting for over 60.6 %), which were propitious to biodiesel production. In addition, this CFOAC system was magnified from 1 L flask to 50 L horizontal pipe photobioreactor (HPPB) in semi-continuously culture under optimal conditions. The average biomass and lipid productivities were 995.7 mg/L/d and 320.6 mg/L/d, respectively, when cultured at 6 days hydraulic retention time with 1/3 substitution every two days. These findings proved that the novel CFOAC system is efficient in nutrients removal, algal cultivation, and biomass production for advanced treatment of CFFW.

Abstract
Emulsion templating is at the forefront of producing a wide array of porous materials that offers interconnected porous structure, easy permeability, homogeneous flow-through, high diffusion rates, convective mass transfer, and direct accessibility to interact with atoms/ions/molecules throughout the exterior and interior of the bulk. These interesting features together with easily available ingredients, facile preparation methods, flexible pore-size tuning protocols, controlled surface modification strategies, good physicochemical and dimensional stability, lightweight, convenient processing and subsequent recovery, superior pollutants remediation/monitoring performance, and decent recyclability underscore the benchmark potential of the emulsion-templated porous materials in large-scale practical environmental applications. To this end, many research breakthroughs in emulsion templating technique witnessed by the recent achievements have been widely unfolded and currently being extensively explored to address many of the environmental challenges. Taking into account the burgeoning progress of the emulsion-templated porous materials in the environmental field, this review article provides a conceptual overview of emulsions and emulsion templating technique, sums up the general procedures to design and fabricate many state-of-the-art emulsion-templated porous materials, and presents a critical overview of their marked momentum in adsorption, separation, disinfection, catalysis/degradation, capture, and sensing of the inorganic, organic and biological contaminants in water and air.

Abstract
In aquatic systems, some substances considered as endocrine disruptors have been detected, which can be due to their incomplete elimination in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and inadequate disposal of pharmaceuticals. Among these contaminants are 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) and caffeine (CAF). Moreover, it has been reported that this kind of contaminants may provoke different adverse effects in many aquatic organisms. Because of that, in the present study, up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors (UASB) coupled with the Fenton process was evaluated for EE2 and CAF removal spiked in wastewater samples. First, the best reaction conditions were established in each process. For UASB reactor, two hydraulic retention times (HRT 8 and 24 h) were evaluated, achieving the highest chemical organic demand (COD) removal (70 %) and drug elimination (84 %-86 %) with HRT 24 h. Subsequently, Fenton process was conducted at pH 3 with different levels of Fe2+ (0.05-0.5 mmol/L) and molar ratios Fe2+:H2O2 (1:1-1:10). Better results were obtained with 0.5 mmol Fe2+/L, and 1:10 ratio molar Fe2+:H2O2. Finally, UASB-Fenton coupled system allowed 80 % of COD decrease, almost complete removal of drugs and the toxicity of samples on Vibrio fischeri was reduced from 73 % to 30 %, demonstrating that this coupled system is a promising and efficient system for pharmaceutical compounds removal from wastewater.

Abstract
The pollution of heavy metals (HMs) in the soil has become one of the important factors affecting the national environment and human health. Phytoremediation, as a technology to deal with HM pollution in soil, has been extensively studied and applied due to its sustainability and environmental friendliness. However, hyperaccumulators polluted by HMs need to be properly treated to avoid secondary pollution to the environment. This paper reviews the migration and transformation of HMs during the incineration, pyrolysis, gasification, and hydrothermal treatment of hyperaccumulators; comprehensively evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of each technology in the treatment of HM-enriched hyperaccumulators; and analyzes the current development status and unsolved problems in detail for each technology. Generally speaking, thermal treatment technology can fix most of the HMs of exchangeable fraction in biochar, reducing its bioavailability and biotoxicity. In addition, the application direction and research focus of the target product are discussed, and it is clarified that in the future, it is necessary to further optimize the reaction conditions and explore the mechanism of HM immobilization to maximize the immobilization of HMs and improve the quality and output of the target product.

Abstract
This study investigated the advanced treatment of secondary effluent organic matters (EfOM) from an industrial park wastewater treatment plant (IPWTP) by Fenton oxidation process and its combination with biological aerated filter (BAF). The constituents of EfOM were characterized by using fluorescence excitation-emission matrix, and the results showed that the major components included aromatic proteins, soluble microbial products, humic and fulvic acid-like substances, and compounds associated with fluorescent region of Ex 250-300 nm/Em 600-700 nm. The EfOM was strongly resistant to biodegradation (biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5):chemical oxygen demand (COD) ratio at 0.11), resulting in less than 15% dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal efficiency by the BAF reactor. The advanced treatment of EfOM by Fenton oxidation process led to maximum ~50% mineralization efficiency of EfOM under the optimal conditions of 2.0 mM FeII, 10 mM H2O2, pH 3.0 and 3.0 h of the reaction time. Particularly, Fenton oxidation treatment effectively improved the biodegradability of EfOM in the IPWTP secondary effluents, e.g., increasing the BOD5:COD ratio from 0.11 to 0.42. A synergistic combination of Fenton oxidation process with the BAF reactor offered desirable mineralization efficiencies of EfOM (>70%) at lower dosages of Fenton's reagents. The present results suggest that Fenton oxidation process combining with the BAF reactor can be a promising strategy for the advanced treatment of EfOM in IPWTP secondary effluents. This study provides guidance for the characterization and advanced treatment of EfOM in IPWTP secondary effluents for practical purpose.

Abstract
In this work, interactions of diverse fungal species by the manipulation of cell concentrations has been utilized as the driving feature for the removal of hazardous multi-metals from the aqueous solutions. This study is focused on the exploitation of internal structures of microbes as a repository of lead (Pb(II)) and nickel (Ni(II)). For the concerned purpose 24 heavy metal resistant fungi are isolated from different industrial waste sites to form different microbial combinations as a single unit 'consortia' for achieving highest possible removal rates. Polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing are involved for the biochemical characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the screened isolates. The identification and screening studies reveal isolated strains as two Pb resistant fungi viz. K1SF-Pb15 (Aspergillus terreus) and SEF-Pb (Talaromyces islandicus) which have shown metal removal up to 93% and two Ni(II) tolerant fungal isolates namely, MEF-Ni-11 (Neurospora crassa) and Ni-1 (Aspergillus flavus) with removal efficiency of more than 91%. Relationship has been validated between the biosorption capacity and efficiency of the novel consortium under the influence of variable pH, time duration, initial concentration of Pb(II) and Ni(II), and inoculum size which has led to the foundation of effective and economical parameters for its exploitation in practical fields. The fungal consortia when applied on various industrial effluents has exhibited more than 95% of removal for both Pb(II) and Ni(II) simultaneously. The detailed mechanistic insight has shown the involvement of physical, chemical and ionic forces for the removal of heavy metals. So the designed novel multi-biological combined system acted as a repository for Pb(II) and Ni(II) ions with a greater potential which can be guided by the mechanistic methodology for the retrieval and remediation of multiple heavy metals from the real waste water samples.

Abstract
An inadequate and inefficient performance ability of conventional methods to remove persistent organic pollutants urges the need of alternative or complementary advanced wastewater treatments methods to ensure the safer reuse of reclaimed water. Photoelectrochemical methods are emerging as promising options among other advanced oxidation processes because of the higher treatment efficiency achieved due to the synergistic effects of combined photochemical and electrolysis reactions. Synergistic effects of integrated photochemical, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical processes not only increase the hydroxyl radical production; an enhancement on the mineralization ability through various side reactions is also achieved. In this review, fundamental reaction mechanisms of different photoelectrochemical methods including photoelectrocatalysis, photo/solar electro-Fenton, photo anodic oxidation, photoelectroperoxone and photocatalytic fuel cell are discussed. Various integrated photochemical, electrochemical and photoelectrochemical processes and their synergistic effects are elaborated. Different reactor configurations along with the positioning of electrodes, photocatalysts and light source of the individual/combined photoelectrochemical treatment systems are discussed. Modified photoanode and cathode materials used in the photoelectrochemical reactors and their performance ability is presented. Photoelectrochemical treatment of real wastewater such as landfill leachate, oil mill, pharmaceutical, textile, and tannery wastewater are reviewed. Hydrogen production efficiency in the photoelectrochemical process is further elaborated. Cost and energy involved in these processes are briefed, but the applicability of photocatalytic fuel cells to reduce the electrical dependence is also summarised. Finally, the use of photoelectrochemical approaches as an alternative for treating soil washing effluents is currently discussed.

Abstract
This study aims to address organic micropollutants in secondary effluents from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) by first identification of micropollutants in different treatment units, and second by evaluating an advanced treatment process for removals of micropollutants. In secondary effluents, 28 types of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), 5 types of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and 3 types of odorous compounds are detected with total concentrations of 513 ± 57.8 ng/L, 991 ± 36.5 ng/L, 553 ± 48.3 ng/L, respectively. An integrated process consisting of in-situ ozonation, ceramic membrane filtration (CMF) and biological active carbon (BAC) filtration is investigated in a pilot scale (1000 m3/d) for removal of micropollutants in secondary effluents. The total removal efficiencies of PPCPs, EDCs and odorous compounds are 98.5%, 95.4%, and 91.1%, respectively. Removal mechanisms of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) and odorous compounds are discussed based on their physicochemical properties. The remarkable removal efficiencies of micropollutants by the pilot system is attributed to synergistic effects of combining ozonation, ceramic membrane filtration and BAC filtration. This study provides a cost-effective and robust technology with the capability of treating secondary effluents for reuse applications.

Abstract
The deposal of residual hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in Fenton-like system and the requirement of oxygen in bioreactor are essential parts for the treatment of integrative Fenton-like/bioreactor. A novel low-cost integrative Fenton-like and MnO2-filled upward flow biological filter bed (Fenton-like/MBFB) equipped with the modified ceramsite was constructed to evaluate the main properties and catalytic activity of modified ceramsite, and the optimal conditions of integrative system and compare integrative and traditional systems. In this study, the Fenton-like reactor with modified ceramsite had higher catalytic ability whose Acid Orange 7 (AO7) degradation efficiency reached to 79.3% due to large surface area and high porosity, compared with that with raw ceramsite (44.3%). Furthermore, total utilization efficiency of H2O2 in integrative system (from 32.41% to 53.51%) and removal efficiencies of COD and AO7 were remarkably improved, which would effectively decrease the waste of H2O2 and the setting of regulation pool and aeration tank. Thus, the integrative system can save 0.51 CNY/m3 in construction cost and 0.21 CNY/m3 in operating cost. The average COD removal efficiency, AO7 degradation efficiency and effluent DO concentration were achieved to 64.8%, 79.5% and 9.3 mg/L respectively in integrative system were achieved in integrative system during sixty successive runs. Also, the potential degradation pathway of contaminants was also proposed according to the OH-enhanced at Fenton-like reactor due to catalyst and adsorption of modified ceramsite and the removal of microorganisms and modified ceramsite for contaminants at MBFB. This study demonstrated the feasibility of integrative Fenton-like/MBFB filled with modified ceramsite for simultaneously decreasing operational cost and complexity and enhancing removal efficiency, thus provided a one-step alternative for refractory dye wastewater.

Abstract
Antibiotics are an emerging class of persistent contaminants that are now of major environmental concern because they pose potential risks to both environmental and human health. Here reduced graphene oxide composited with bimetallic iron/palladium nanoparticles (rGO@nFe/Pd) was synthesized via a green tea extract and used to remove a common antibiotic, rifampicin from aqueous solution. The innate physical rifampicin removal efficiency of the composite (79.9 %) was increased to 85.7 % when combined with Fenton-oxidation. The mechanism and the main factors controlling Fenton-oxidation of rifampicin by rGO@nFe/Pd were investigated. Oxidation followed a pseudo-second-order degradation kinetic model with an activation energy of 47.3 kJ mol-1. rGO@nFe/Pd were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray energy spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-Ray powder diffraction (XRD), and zeta potential. Rifampicin degradation products observed by LC-UV, where subsequently confirmed to be mainly 5,6,9-trihydroxynaphtho [2,1-b] furan-1(2 H)-one, 5,6-dihydroxy-1-oxo-1,2-dihydronaphtho [2,1-b] furan-2-yl formate and (S)-5,6,9-trihydroxy-2-(3-methoxypropoxy)-2-methylnaphtho [2,1-b] furan-1(2 H)-one by LC-MS. Finally, the practical effectiveness of the composite material for antibiotic removal was demonstrated by the treatment of representative wastewaters, where rifampicin removal efficiencies of 80.4, 77.9 and 70.2 % were observed for river, aquaculture wastewater and domestic wastewater, respectively.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 401:123420. [PMID: 32763708 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123420] [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: 03/03/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/04/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
An innovative foam-based method for Fenton reagents (FR) and bacteria delivery was assessed for the in situ remediation of a petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated unsaturated zone. The surfactant foam was first injected, then reagent solutions were delivered and propagated through the network of foam lamellae with a piston-like effect. Bench-scale experiments demonstrated the feasibility of the various treatments with hydrocarbon (HC) removal efficiencies as high as 96 %. Compared to the direct injection of FR solutions, the foam-based method led to larger radii of influence and more isotropic reagents delivery, whereas it did not show any detrimental effect regarding HC oxidation. Despite 25 % of HCs were expelled from the treated zone because of high foam viscosity, average degradation rates were increased by 20 %. At field-scale, foam and reagent solutions injections in soil were tracked both using visual observation and differential electric resistivity tomography. The latter demonstrated the controlled delivery of the reactive solutions using the foam-based method. Even if the foam-based method duration is about 5-times longer than the direct injection of amendment solutions, it provides important benefits, such as the confinement of harmful volatile hydrocarbons during Fenton treatments, the enhanced reagents delivery and the 30 % lower consumption of the latter.
