[PMID: 38608776 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141970] [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: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
The extraction of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) from water bodies is imperative due to the potential harm to humans and the ecosystem caused by NSAID-contaminated water. Quaternary amino-functionalized epichlorohydrin cross-linked chitosan fibers (QECFs), an economical and eco-friendly adsorbent, were successfully prepared using a simple and gentle method for efficient diclofenac (DCF) adsorption. Additionally, the optimized factors for the preparation of QECFs included epichlorohydrin concentration, pH, temperature, and (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (CHTAC) concentration. QECFs demonstrated excellent adsorption performance for DCF across a broad pH range of 7-12. The calculated maximum adsorption capacity and the amount of adsorbed DCF per adsorption site were determined to be 987.5 ± 20.1 mg/g and 1.2 ± 0.2, respectively, according to the D-R and Hill isotherm models, at pH 7 within 180 min. This performance surpassed that of previously reported adsorbents. The regeneration of QECFs could be achieved using a 0.5 mol/L NaOH solution within 90 min, with QECFs retaining their original fiber form and experiencing only a 9.18% reduction in adsorption capacity after 5 cycles. The Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to study the characterization of QECFs, the preparation mechanism of QECFs, and the adsorption mechanism of DCF by QECFs. Quaternary ammonium groups (R4N+) were well developed in QECFs through the reaction between amino/hydroxyl groups on chitosan and CHTAC, and approximately 0.98 CHTAC molecule with 0.98 R4N+ group were immobilized on each chitosan monomer. Additionally, these R4N+ on QECFs played a crucial role in the removal of DCF.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the reusability of wastewater treatment by-product for photo-Fenton process to treat an organic pollutant model. The optimal condition, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and kinetic approach in photo-Fenton process was discussed. The Metal oxide crystal pellets from are a by-product of the Fluidized-Bed Crystallization (FBC) process and can be used as a catalyst in the Photo-Fenton process. Electroplating wastewater containing iron and copper was treated via the FBC process using granulated Al(OH)3 as carrier seeds. The binary oxide of FeOOH and Cu2O on the Al(OH)3 surface (Fe0.66Cu0.33@Al(OH)3) was identified as the FBC by-product after characterization using FTIR and XPS analysis. In the photo-Fenton process, visible light from a fluorescence lamp with a wavelength of 400-610 nm was chosen as an irradiation source. Oxalic acid was added as chelating agent to form photosensitive iron oxalate species and hydrogen peroxide was applied as oxidant to generate active radical to decolorize and mineralize RB5 synthesized solution (100 mg/L). The operating conditions including the oxalic acid to pollutant ratio ([OA]0/[RB5]0) of 4.5-13.0, reaction pH (pHr) of 3-7 and initial to theoretical hydrogen peroxide molar ratio [H2O2]0/[ H2O2]theoretical of 35%-120% were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, pHr = 5.0; [H2O2]0/[RB5]0 at 75% stoichiometric and [OA]0/[RB5]0 = 9, the RB5 is almost completely decolorized after 210 min of operation and the mineralization efficiency is 58%. The contribution of •OH, O2•-, and O21 to the Photo-Fenton system was determined using ESR analysis with the addition of DMPO and TEMP as spin trap agents. The kinetic analysis reveals the observed rate constants kRB5, kOA and kR from fitting are 0.0120, 0.0054 and 0.0001 M-1s-1, respectively.

Abstract
Overuse of antimicrobial agents are generally considered to be a key factor in the occurrence of antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB). Nevertheless, it is unclear whether ARB can be induced by non-antibiotic chemicals such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate whether NSAID diclofenac (DCF) promote the emergence of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli K12 MG1655. Our results suggested that DCF induced the occurrence of ARB which showed hereditary stability of resistance. Meanwhile, gene variation was identified on chromosome of the ARB, and DCF can cause bacterial oxidative stress and SOS response. Subsequently, transcriptional levels of antioxidant (soxS, sodA, sodC, gor, katG, ahpF) and SOS (recA, lexA, uvrA, uvrB, ruvA, ruvB, dinB, umuC, polB) system-related genes were enhanced. However, the expression of related genes cannot be increased in high-dosage treatment compared with low-dosage samples because of cytotoxicity and cellular damage. Simultaneously, high-dosage DCF decreased the mutation frequency but enhanced the resistance of mutants. Our findings expand our knowledge of the promoting effect on the emergence of ARB caused by DCF. More attention and regulations should be given to these potential ecological and health risks for widespread DCF.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 333:117428. [PMID: 36753894 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.117428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Glyphosate has significant adverse effects on creature and ecological balance. Therefore, the efficient treatment of glyphosate wastewater is of great significance. In this study, nano calcium peroxide (n-CaO2) was loaded onto activated sludge biochar (SBC), and then Fe(II) was added to construct a Fenton-like system (n-CaO2/SBC/Fe(II)). SBC played the role of both a dispersant and catalyst, which greatly improved the removal capability of glyphosate. The removal efficiency of glyphosate in the n-CaO2/SBC/Fe(II) system was as high as 99.6%. The persistent free radicals (PFRs) on SBC can promote the conversion of Fe(III) to Fe(II) in the reaction system, and Fe(II) can be maintained at about 15 mg L-1 until the reaction reached equilibrium. Due to the synergistic effect of Fe(II) hydrolysis and SBC catalysis, n-CaO2/SBC/Fe(II) system can effectively remove glyphosate in a wide initial pH range (4.0-10.0), and the pH of the reaction system can be remained in a suitable environment (4.0-6.0) for Fenton-like reaction. Advanced oxidation and chemical precipitation were the main mechanisms for the removal of glyphosate. Most of glyphosate could be oxidized into H2PO-4 anions by breaking the bonds of C-P and C-N, and the H2PO-4 can be further adsorbed and bounded on the surface of the composites. This system overcomes the shortcomings of pH rising and Fe(III) precipitation in the CaO2-based oxidation systems, and realizes the efficient and complete degradation for glyphosate.

Abstract
Emerging contaminants in water bodies is an issue of concern due to their impact on the ecosystem and human health. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the implementation of protective measures such as social distancing, lockdowns, and remote work, which have affected the tourism influx. This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of emerging pollutants in bodies of water in Esmeraldas, a coastal province of Ecuador, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in a highly touristic region. For this purpose, surface waters from 14 beaches and ten river mouths were sampled at two-time points in November 2019 and November 2020. Compounds widely consumed in Ecuador: acetaminophen, caffeine, sodium diclofenac, trimethoprim, and sulfamethoxazole were extracted from water samples by solid phase extraction SPE and detected with a UPLC-QTOF-MS system. We found a decrease in the occurrence of caffeine from 100 % to 4.2 % of caffeine and 25 % to 0 % of diclofenac, likely related to the decline in tourist afflux due to the lockdown measures. Most of the compounds diminished in terms of frequency and/or concentration; however, as COVID-19 treatments make use of different pharmaceutical compounds such as antivirals, antibiotics, antiparasitics, or glucocorticoids, future studies should include these to assess their environmental impact.

Abstract
The in situ electrochemical oxidation process has received considerable attention for the removal of dye molecules and ammonium from textile dyeing and finishing wastewater. Nevertheless, the cost and durability of the catalytic anode have seriously limited industrial applications of this technique. In this work, the lab-based waste polyvinylidene fluoride membrane was employed to fabricate a novel lead dioxide/polyvinylidene fluoride/carbon cloth composite (PbO2/PVDF/CC) via integrated surface coating and electrodeposition processes. The influences of operating parameters (pH, Cl− concentration, current density, and initial concentration of pollutant) on the oxidation efficiency of PbO2/PVDF/CC were evaluated. Under optimal conditions, this composite achieves a 100% decolorization of methyl orange (MO), 99.48% removal of ammonium, and 94.46% conversion for ammonium-based nitrogen to N2, as well as an 82.55% removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD). At the coexistent condition of ammonium and MO, MO decolorization, ammonium, and COD removals still remain around 100%, 99.43%, and 77.33%, respectively. It can be assigned to the synergistic oxidation effect of hydroxyl radical and chloride species for MO and the chlorine oxidation action for ammonium. Based on the determination of various intermediates, MO is finally mineralized to CO2 and H2O, and ammonium is mainly converted to N2. The PbO2/PVDF/CC composite exhibits excellent stability and safety.

Abstract
This review presents an exhaustive overview on the mechanisms of Fe3+ cathodic reduction within the context of the electro-Fenton (EF) process. Different strategies developed to improve the reduction rate are discussed, dividing them into two categories that regard the mechanistic feature that is promoted: electron transfer control and mass transport control. Boosting the Fe3+ conversion to Fe2+ via electron transfer control includes: (i) the formation of a series of active sites in both carbon- and metal-based materials and (ii) the use of other emerging strategies such as single-atom catalysis or confinement effects. Concerning the enhancement of Fe2+ regeneration by mass transport control, the main routes involve the application of magnetic fields, pulse electrolysis, interfacial Joule heating effects, and photoirradiation. Finally, challenges are singled out, and future prospects are described. This review aims to clarify the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycling process in the EF process, eventually providing essential ideas for smart design of highly effective systems for wastewater treatment and valorization at an industrial scale.

Abstract
The present work demonstrates a simple one-step pyrolysis method for the synthesis of a catalytic sludge-based carbon (SBC) biochar containing Fe and Mn from dehydrated sludge with added KMnO4 and Fe(II). The electrocatalytic degradation of triclosan (TCS) in water was evaluated using an Fe/Mn-SBC cathode to promote a heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction. The catalyst generated at 500 °C exhibited an abundant porous structure and a relatively high surface area, and produced an electrode with better conductivity and electron diffusion. The presence of metal oxides changed the surface structure defects of this biochar and enhanced its catalytic performance while increasing the electrochemically active surface area by 72.68 mF/cm2 compared with plain SBC. TCS was degraded (91.3%) within 180 min by oxygen species generated in situ on an Fe/Mn-SBC cathode because the activation energy for oxygen reduction was lowered by 4.62 kJ/mol. The degradation of TCS followed pseudo first-order kinetics and was controlled by TCS diffusion and interfacial chemical reactions between adsorbed TCS and the electrode. Possible TCS degradation pathways were devised based on the main intermediates, and 1O2 was found to be more important than •OH radicals. Through toxicity test and prediction, the toxicity of degradation was gradually reduced. This study demonstrates a simple and ecofriendly method for the electrocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Nanoscale calcium peroxide (nCP) has turned out to be one of the effective and environmentally friendly approaches for wastewater remediation purposes. The rapid hydrolysis of nCPs and burst oxygen release caused by the high surface-to-volume ratio of nCPs could surpass the appropriate demand for oxygenation and pollutant degradation in the aqueous system. Thus, coated oxidants (COs) have been prepared using polymeric materials to ensure long-term efficacy and slow-release capability. Therefore, the nCPs were first prepared using dextran as a stabilizer to prevent irreversible agglomeration by the chemical precipitation method and had an average mean size of 2.33 ± 0.81 nm. The synthesized nCPs were then coated with dextran to produce dextran-coated nCPs. Their characteristics and effectiveness in doxycycline (DOX) degradation were assessed. The characterization of nCPs and dextran-coated nCPs was performed using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer, Emmett and Teller analysis (BET), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. This work suggests that dextran-coated nCPs are beneficial in wastewater treatment practice in terms of the long-term efficacy of DOX degradation potential.

Accelerate sulfamethoxazole degradation and detoxification by persulfate mediated with Fe 2+&dithionite: Experiments and DFT calculation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 436:129254. [PMID: 35739773 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129254] [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: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Advanced oxidation process (AOPs) is one of the most effective technologies for organic pollutants removal. In this study, diverse reactive species generation and enhanced sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation were investigated based on persulfate (PDS) activated by Fe2+&dithionite (DTN). When involving Fe2+&dithionite in PDS, SMX degradation efficiency reached 84 % within 30 min following a pseudo-first-order kinetic, which was higher than those in Fe2+/PDS (50.4 %) and Fe2+/O2/DTN (41.3 %). SO4•- and •OH were identified as dominant reactive species with a crucial role of FeSO3+ based on quenching experiment and electron spin resonance (ESR). The contributions of SO4·-, ·OH, and other species to SMX degradation were 60.1 %, 33.9 %, and 6 %, respectively. In Fe2+/DTN/PDS system, SMX was effectively degraded under nearly neutral pH (5.0-9.0), with activation energy of 96.04 kJ·mol-1. The experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculation demonstrated that three functional groups (benzenesulfonamido, benzene ring, and oxazole ring) were attacked for SMX degradation. Moreover, acute toxicity to Vibrio fischeri has enhanced in the earlier degradation process due to the intermediates and weaken with the continuous reaction. This work not only provides a high-activity SO4·--AOP for refractory pollutant treatment with possible dual radical generation resources, but elucidated diverse reactive species formation with Fe2+&dithionite.

Abstract
The contamination of marine sediments by 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) has become a global environmental problem, therefore there are necessaries searching appropriate and sustainable remediation methods for in-situ applications. Herein, water hyacinth [(WH) (Eichhornia crassipes)]-derived metal-free biochar (WHBC) prepared at 300-900 °C was used to promote the calcium peroxide (CP)-mediated remediation of 4-NP-contaminaed sediments. At [CP] = 4.37 × 10-4 M, [WHBC] = 1.5 g L-1, and pH = 6.0, the degradation of 4-NP was 77% in 12 h following the pseudo-first order rate law with rate constant (kobs) of 4.2 × 10-2 h-1. The efficient 4-NP degradation performance and reaction mechanisms of the WHBC/CP system was ascribed to the synergy between the reactive species (HO• and 1O2) at the WHBC surface on which there were abundant electron-rich carbonyl groups and defects/vacancies in the catalyst structure provides active sites, and the ability of the graphitized carbon framework to act as a medium for electron shuttling. According to microbial community analysis based on amplicon sequence variants, bacteria of the genus Solirubrobacter (Actinobacteria phylum) were dominant in WHBC/CP-treated sediments and were responsible for the biodegradation of 4-NP. The results showed great promise and novelty of the hydroxyl radical-driven carbon advanced oxidation processes (HR-CAOPs) that relies on the value-added utilization of water hyacinth for contaminated sediment remediation in achieving circular bioeconomy.

A feasible approach for azo-dye methyl orange degradation in siderite/H 2O 2 assisted by persulfate: Optimization using response surface methodology and pathway. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 308:114397. [PMID: 35121467 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.114397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2021] [Revised: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 12/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Siderite was applied to the binary oxidant system of siderite-catalyzed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and enhanced with persulfate (PS). In the absence of PS, methyl orange (MO) almost could not be degraded by the siderite/H2O2 process. However, adding PS significantly improved the capacity of MO to oxidize azo-dye. The influence of individual and interaction of reaction factors have been explored with a simple response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD). The quadratic model with low probabilities (<0.0001) at a confidence level of 95% was satisfactory to predict MO degradation in siderite/H2O2/PS system, whose correlation coefficients of R2 and R2-adj were 0.9569 and 0.9264, respectively. Moreover, the optimum operation conditions of 21.20 mM, 2.75 g/L, 3.86 mM, and 4.69 for H2O2, siderite, PS and initial pH, respectively with the response of C/C0 around 0.047. Radical scavenging experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) determined that ·OH was crucial for MO degradation, while the contribution of SO4·- was minor. The surface morphology and iron content of siderite before and after the oxidation process showed clear differences. Possible intermediates and a degradation pathway were proposed based on the results of UV-Vis spectral and GC-MS analysis. Moreover, the toxicity to Vibrio fischeri bioluminescent bacterium has increased in the earlier degradation stage due to the generated by-products and weaken with the continuous treatment. This study demonstrated that the siderite/H2O2/PS system was effective over a relatively wide pH range without producing secondary pollutants, making it a promising technology and potential environmentally benign approach to azo-dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The oxidative degradation of diazinon (DAZ) and diclofenac sodium (DCF) in aqueous media was comparatively investigated and correlated with the mortality of Artemia salina in the presence of clay catalysts. For this purpose, montmorillonites (Mt) exchanged with Na+ and Fe2+ cations (NaMt and Fe(II)Mt), acid activated bentonites and hydrotalcite were used as clay catalysts. Surface interaction and adsorption on the clay surface were found to govern the catalyst dispersion in aqueous media and both activity and selectivity in ozonation. These catalysts' features were correlated with the ecotoxicity of ozonised reaction mixtures as expressed in terms of mortality rates of Artemia salina. DAZ and DCF display specific intrinsic ecotoxicity that evolves differently during ozonation according to the catalyst. The ecotoxicity was found to strongly depend on the distribution of the ozonation intermediates, which, in turn, was narrowly correlated with the acid-base properties of the catalyst surface. These valuable findings allow the prediction of the behaviour of the clay-containing media in natural remediation.

Abstract
An amphiphilic cellulose aerogel (HCNC-TPB/TMC) was fabricated by grafting 1,3,5-Tris (4-aminophenyl)benzene (TPB) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) onto the aldehyde nanocellulose through Schiff alkali and substitution reaction. The obtained HCNC-TPB/TMC exhibited good morphology with cellulose fiber and owned abundant hydrophilic amino and carboxyl groups and hydrophobic aromatic groups. The batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that HCNC-TPB/TMC showed excellent adsorption performance (Qmax = 526.32 mg g-1) for sodium diclofenac (DCF), wide pH applicability (4-10) and outstanding stability and reusability. The DCF adsorption obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm, and underwent a spontaneous exothermic process. The main adsorption mechanisms involved electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking interaction and hydrophobic effect. Importantly, the introduced carboxyl aromatic groups on TMC could effectively strengthen the hydrogen bonds and the π-π stacking between HCNC-TPB/TMC and DCF.

Abstract
Electric and magnetic fields characterized by high efficiency, low consumption and environment-friendly performance have recently generated interest as a possible measure to enhance the performance of the biological treatment process used to remove refractory organics. Few studies have been carried out to-date regarding the simultaneous application of electric and magnetic fields on biofilm process to degrade diclofenac. In this study, 3DEM-BAF was designed to evaluate the electrio-magnetic superposition effect on diclofenac removal performance, kinetics, community structure and synergistic mechanism. The results show that 3DEM-BAF could significantly increase the average removal rate of diclofenac by 65.30 %, 57.46 %, 9.48 % as compared with that of BAF, 3DM-BAF, 3DE-BAF, respectively. The diclofenac degradation kinetic constants and dehydrogenase activity of 3DEM-BAF were almost 6.72 and 2.53 times higher than those of BAF. Microorganisms of 3DEM-BAF in the Methylophilus and Methyloversatilis genera were distinctively enriched, which was attributed to the screening function of electric field and propagation effect of magnetic field. Moreover, three processes were found to contribute to diclofenac degradation, namely electro-magnetic-adsorption, electro-chemical oxidation and electro-magnetic-biodegradation. Thus, the simultaneous application of electric and magnetic fields on biofilm process was demonstrated to be a promising technique as well as a viable alternative in diclofenac degradation enhancement.

Abstract
Abstract
In the present study, calcium peroxide (CaO2) was used separately for potential application as an environmentally friendly and low-cost oxidant for the removal of a textile dye ‘Reactive Black 5’ (RB5) from simulated textile wastewater containing auxiliary chemicals of textile production. The specific morphology, elemental analysis, particle size distribution, specific surface area, identification of crystalline phases and surface functional groups of the synthesized CaO2 were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), laser diffraction (LD), Brunaure–Emmett–Teller method (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transmission infrared (FTIR), respectively. X-ray Diffraction analysis confirmed the synthesized oxidant as CaO2 with the tetragonal crystalline structure. The signal corresponded to a bending vibration of O–Ca–O was detected in the fingerprint region of the FTIR spectroscopy. The effects of various independent parameters such as contact time, pH, initial RB5 concentration and CaO2 dosage on decolorization were investigated. The results of the study showed that pH, initial dye concentration and the CaO2 amounts have significant effects on removal of the RB5. The optimum pH was determined 7 for the removal of RB5 by CaO2. 2.0 g CaO2 was found to be sufficient for the removal of 300 mg/L RB5 with 96.93% removal efficiency. Also 82.8% chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency from simulated textile wastewater (STW) was obtained by 2.0 g CaO2. The results of the present study showed that the CaO2 can be used as an environmentally friendly and low-cost oxidant for effective removal of reactive textile dyes.
