ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2024; 45:3105-3117. [PMID: 37125413 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2023.2208275] [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: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
In this work, to improve the performance of peroxodisulphate-advanced oxidation, an electrochemical oxidation-assisted UV light-activated peroxodisulphate system (E/UV/PDS) was used to degrade carbamazepine. The degradation of carbamazepine by PDS, E/PDS, UV/PDS and E/UV/PDS systems was compared, and their synergistic effects were analysed. The influence of single factors, such as PDS addition, initial pH, DS voltage, target initial concentration, etc., on the degradation of the E/UV/PDS system was discussed, and the optimal degradation process parameters were given. The active substances were determined by free radical inhibition experiments, such as 1O2, SO 4 - ⋅ and ⋅ OH . It was proved that 1O2 contributes much more to the degradation of carbamazepine than SO 4 - ⋅ and ⋅ OH . The degradation pathway of carbamazepine was proposed. Finally, the degradation mechanism of carbamazepine in the E/UV/PDS system was speculated. The results indicate that the electrochemical combined with the E/UV/PDS system is of great potential application value in the removal of antibiotic drug pollution and environmental purification.

Abstract
Various activated persulfate (PS) technologies have been investigated and implemented to eliminate antibiotic contaminants from water. The investigation and evaluation of different activation systems are essential for the application of PS techniques. The degradation of amoxicillin (AMX) by heat, light, or heterogeneous catalyst of Fe-AC composite activated PS was investigated, and the kinetics, mechanisms and toxicities were compared in this work. The apparent activation energy of the Fe-AC system was lower than that of the heat system. Hydroxyl and sulfate radicals were demonstrated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and quenching tests. There were 22, 21 and 13 types of degradation intermediates detected in heat, light and Fe-AC system, respectively. Six pathways of AMX degradation were proposed and compared in the three activated PS systems. The toxicity prediction of degradation intermediates under different treatment processes was estimated by ecological structure-activity relationship model and toxicity estimation software tool. The genotoxicity of the AMX degradation solution was tested by Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1_recA, which indicated that the AMX solution after treatment in the Fe-AC system had almost no genotoxicity. The Fe-AC/PS system shows apparent advantages over the heat or light activated PS system in most cases, demonstrating that the Fe-AC/PS system is suitable for AMX-contaminated remediation in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Majority zero-valent iron (ZVI) materials are prepared by reducing agents in liquid phase, resulting in the high environmental pollution and poor particle size distribution uniformity. Therefore, this study employed a green synthesis method to prepare ZVI. Tannins (TA) with phenolic hydroxyl groups that are characterized by strong reducing capacity were employed to synthesize ZVI (TA@ZVI). The dispersity and stability of ZVI was improved by TA, which inhibited the agglomeration of ZVI. Meanwhile, the specific surface area of TA@ZVI was higher than chemical prepared ZVI, increasing the reactive sites. The organic matter components enriched on TA could promote the adsorption of pollutants and complex with Fe(II/III) to enhance the reactivity of TA@ZVI. Also, the polyphenol structure in TA was oxidized to quinone, which facilitated electron transport. In order further test the performance of TA@ZVI, SMX was chosen as a target pollutant to study the oxidative degradation performance of TA@ZVI. SO4•- degraded about 16.4%-25.5% SMX and •OH degraded about 49.8%-63.9% SMX in the pH range of 4-6 while •OH played a dominant role in the neutral and alkaline conditions. Moreover, the presence of TA reduced Fe(III) to Fe(II) and promoted the release of Fe(II), providing a continuous source of •OH for the oxidative degradation of SMX. Besides, the conversion of Fe(II/III) was accelerated due to TA, which delayed the formation of passivation layer. Thus, TA enhanced the antioxidant capacity of ZVI. Generally, this study provided an environmental-friendly technology to synthesize and improve the reactivity of ZVI.

Abstract
To address conventional powder catalysts' recovery and aggregation issues that greatly restrain their practical application, a recoverable graphene oxide (GO)-supported 3D-MoS2/FeCo2O4 sponge (SFCMG) was developed through a simple impregnation pyrolysis method. SFCMG can efficiently activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to produce reactive species for rapid degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), with 95.0% and 100% of RhB being removed within 2 min and 10 min, respectively. The presence of GO enhances the electron transfer performance of the sponge, and the three-dimensional melamine sponge serves as a substrate to provide a highly dispersed carrier for FeCo2O4 and MoS2/GO hybrid sheets. SFCMG exhibits a synergistic catalytic effect of Fe and Co, and facilitates the redox cycles of Fe(III)/Fe(II) and Co(III)/Co(II) by MoS2 co-catalysis, which enhances its catalytic activity. Electron paramagnetic resonance results demonstrate that SO4•-, ·O2- and 1O2 are all involved in SFCMG/PMS system, and 1O2 played a prominent role in RhB degradation. The system has good resistance to anions (Cl-, SO42-, and H2PO4-) and humic acid and excellent performance for many typical contaminants degradation. Additionally, it works efficiently over a wide pH range (3-9) and possesses high stability and reusability with the metal leaching far below the safety standards. The present study extends the practical application of metal co-catalysis and offers a promising Fenton-like catalyst for the treatment of organic wastewater.

Abstract
Enrofloxacin (ENR) is a widely used veterinary fluoroquinolone antibiotic and is frequently detected in water environments. The degradation of ENR was examined utilizing molecular oxygen mediation using nanometer zero-valent copper (nZVC) as the catalyst in this work. The dosage of nZVC, initial pH, and reaction temperature were investigated as contributing factors to ENR degradation. The effects of Cl-, NO3-, SO42-, and humic acid on the degradation of ENR were investigated. The actual effects were evaluated using natural water. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) that participated in the reaction were identified, their generation mechanisms were elucidated, and the effects on ENR degradation were assessed. More emphasis was given to exploring ENR degradation and transformation pathways via analyses of HPLC-TOF-MS. Data showed that at 35 ℃, with an initial pH of 3 and exposed to air, an nZVC dose of 0.5 g·L-1 degraded ENR by 99.51% dramatically. HO• radicals were identified as the dominant ROS, and conversions among Cu0, Cu+, and Cu2+ played crucial roles in the generation of ROS. The destruction mechanism of ENR was speculated based on analyses of HPLC-TOF-MS results as the transformation of the piperazine ring into an oxidized state with a -COOH substitution with HO•, which caused ENR to be mineralized and converted into CO2, H2O, and [Formula: see text]. The ECOSAR program has been used to evaluate the toxicity of ENR and its degradation products, and oxidative degradation of nZVC significantly reduced its toxicity and increased its biodegradability. This research proposes a capable and practical method for removing ENR from water.

Abstract
The enhancement of electron transport process on multiple channels of C-Fe and C-S-Fe bonds between dual-reaction centres was investigated for stimulating the antibiotics degradation in Fenton-like processes. Herein, multiple channels structure of sulfur-doped carbon coupled Fe7S8 cluster through C-Fe bond and C-S-Fe bond was constructed through density functional theory (DFT), and S-doped carbon framework coated Fe7S8 nanoparticles (Fe7S8/SC) Fenton-like catalyst was prepared through hydrothermal and subsequent sulfuration process. The DFT calculations revealed that electrons are thermodynamically transferred from carbon to iron along both C-Fe and C-S-Fe bonds. The optimized Fe7S8/SC catalyst exhibited desirable catalytic property for Fenton-like degradation for various antibiotics, the removal of amoxicillin, norfloxacin, and tetracycline hydrochloride reach 98.9%, 97.8%, and 99.3% respectively within 40 min under neutral pH, and catalyst also demonstrated excellent cycle stability after five runs. The excellent degradation effect of antibiotics by Fenton-like catalyst was attributed to the intensified electron transport process by multiple electron transfer channels between dual reaction centres, making FeII easier to regenerate. This study spreads a new route for the enhancement of electron transport process in Fenton-like catalysts by constructing multiple channels.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical compounds have piqued the interest of researchers due to an increase in their demand, which increases the possibility of leakage into the environment. Amoxicillin (AMX) is a penicillin derivative used for the treatment of infections caused by gram-positive bacteria. AMX has a low metabolic rate in the human body, and around 80-90% is unmetabolized. As a result, AMX residuals should be treated immediately to avoid further accumulation in the environment. Advanced oxidation process techniques are an efficient way to degrade AMX. This review attempts to collect, organize, summarize, and analyze the most up to date research linked to the degradation of AMX by different advanced oxidation process systems including photocatalytic, ultrasonic, electro-oxidation, and advanced oxidation process-based on partials. The main topics investigated in this review are degradation mechanism, degradation efficiency, catalyst stability, the formation of AMX by-products and its toxicity, in addition, the influence of different experimental conditions was discussed such as pH, temperature, scavengers, the concentration of amoxicillin, oxidants, catalyst, and doping ratio. The degradation of AMX could be inhibited by very high values of pH, temperature, AMX concentration, oxidants concentration, catalyst concentration, and doping ratio. Several AMX by-products were discovered after oxidation treatment, and several of them had lower or same values of LC50 (96 h) fathead minnow of AMX itself, such as m/z 384, 375, 349, 323, 324, 321, 318, with prediction values of 0.70, 1.10, 1.10 0.42, 0.42, 0.42, and 0.42 mg/L, respectively. We revealed that there is no silver bullet system to oxidize AMX from an aqueous medium. However, it is recommended to apply hybrid systems such as Photo-electro, Photo-Fenton, Electro-Fenton, etc. Hybrid systems are capable to cover the drawbacks of the single system. This review may provide important information, as well as future recommendations, for future researchers interested in treating AMX using various AOP systems, allowing them to improve the applicability of their systems and successfully oxidize AMX from an aqueous medium.

Abstract
Application of zero-valent iron (ZVI) has become one of the most promising innovative technologies for the remediation of environmental pollutants. However, ZVI may suffer from the low intrinsic reactivity toward refractory pollutants, which seriously restricts its practical application in fields. Therefore, strategies have been developing to enhance the reactivity of ZVI. Until now, the most commonly used strategies include pretreatment of ZVI, synthesis of highly-active ZVI-based materials and additional auxiliary measures. In this review, a systematic and comprehensive summary of these commonly used strategies has been conducted for the following purposes: (1) to understand the fundamental mechanisms of the selected approaches; (2) to point out their advantages and shortcomings; (3) to illustrate the main problems of their large-scale application; (4) to forecast the future trend of developing ZVI technologies. Overall, this review is devoted to providing a fundamental understanding on the mechanism for enhancing the reactivity of ZVI and facilitating the practical application of ZVI technologies in fields.

Abstract
In this work, a reducing/chelating agent, ascorbic acid (H2A) was introduced to the traditional zero-valent iron (Fe0)/persulfate (PS) process for waste activated sludge dewatering. The experimental data indicated that H2A-Fe0/PS process significantly enhanced the dewatering performance of sludge and enhanced the oxidation efficiency of Fe0-PS treatment. Under optimal conditions, the capillary suction time ratio before and after treatment (CST0/CST) of H2A-Fe0/PS treated sludge increased by 118% and 31.3% compared with untreated sludge and Fe0-PS treated sludge, respectively. The mechanism investigations revealed that the H2A-Fe0/PS induced excellent enhancement for sludge dewaterability could be credited to the reduction and chelating capacity of ascorbic acid. Free radicals including SO4•-, O2•- and •OH produced in the H2A-Fe0/PS process destroyed proteinaceous components and humic substances in sludge extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), thus reducing the negative charge and water holding capacity of sludge, improving the sludge rheological properties. As a result, the dewatering performance of sludge has been significantly improved.

Abstract
With increasingly serious environmental pollution and the production of various wastewater, water pollutants have posed a serious threat to human health and the ecological environment. The advanced oxidation process (AOP), represented by the persulfate (PS) oxidation process, has attracted increasing attention because of its economic, practical, safety and stability characteristics, opening up new ideas in the fields of wastewater treatment and environmental protection. However, PS does not easily react with organic pollutants and usually needs to be activated to produce oxidizing active substances such as sulfate radicals (SO4-) and hydroxyl radicals (OH) to degrade them. This paper summarizes the research progress of PS activation methods in the field of wastewater treatment, such as physical activation (e.g., thermal, ultrasonic, hydrodynamic cavitation, electromagnetic radiation activation and discharge plasma), chemical activation (e.g., alkaline, electrochemistry and catalyst) and the combination of the different methods, putting forward the advantages, disadvantages and influencing factors of various activation methods, discussing the possible activation mechanisms, and pointing out future development directions.

Abstract
The β-Lactam antibiotic amoxicillin is among the most widely used antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine. Consequently, amoxicillin is abundant in natural waters and can undergo diverse abiotic reactions to form degradation compounds under environmental conditions. Yet, little is known about these decay pathways and mineralogical impacts on environmental amoxicillin degradation. The current study focuses on understanding the mineralogical influences of amoxicillin degradation under ecological conditions. We studied the role of anatase and kaolinite on amoxicillin degradation under irradiated and non-irradiated conditions. Anatase increases amoxicillin degradation by 4.5-fold in the presence of light compared to just being exposed to sunlight. Interestingly, anatase also showed a higher degradation rate under dark than light controls. Conversely, kaolinite diminishes the amoxicillin degradation under irradiation. The formation of degradation compounds was mineralogy-controlled, while no mineralization was observed. Further, we irradiated amoxicillin with a high-intensity light to evaluate its removal from wastewater. The formation of varying amoxicillin degradation products with high-intensity light will limit its removal from wastewater. Our study emphasizes that the mineralogical impact on amoxicillin degradation is diverse, and the role of anatase is significant. Consequently, the increased addition of manufactured titanium nanoparticles to the environment can further enhance these effects.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation process (AOP) has attracted widespread attention because it can effectively remove antibiotics in water, but its practical engineering application is limited by the problems of the low efficiency and difficult recovery of the catalyst. In the study, nano-spinel CoFe2O4 was prepared by hydrothermal method and served as the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) catalyst to degrade antibiotic amoxicillin (AMX). The reaction parameters such as CoFe2O4 dosage, AMX concentration, and initial pH value were also optimized. The reaction mechanism was proposed through free radical capture experiment and possible degradation pathway analysis. In addition, the magnetic recovery performance and stability of the catalyst were evaluated. Results showed that 85.5% of AMX could be removed within 90 min at optimal conditions. Sulfate radicals and hydroxyl radicals were the active species for AMX degradation. Moreover, the catalyst showed excellent magnetism and stability in the cycle experiment, which has great potential in the AOP treatment of antibiotic polluted wastewater.
