ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 355:124182. [PMID: 38776997 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124182] [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: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
The treatment of textile wastewater containing harmful metal ions poses a significant challenge in industrial applications due to its environmental impact. In this study, the use of sulfite for treating simulated dye wastewater containing New Coccine (NC) and Cr(VI) was investigated. The removal of NC was influenced by the redox reaction between Cr(VI) and sulfite, demonstrating a strong self-boosting effect of Cr(VI) on NC removal. Remarkable NC decoloration (95%) and Cr(VI) reduction (90%) were achieved within 1 min, highlighting the effectiveness of the treatment. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technology confirmed that singlet oxygen (1O2) was the main oxidative agent for organic dye removal and SO4•-, •OH and Cr(V) were also identified as key contributors to NC degradation. The Cr(VI)/sulfite system exhibited higher efficiency in degrading azo dyes, such as NC and Congo Red (CR), compared to non-azo dyes like Methylene Blue (MB). This superiority may be attributed to the action of Cr(V) on azo groups. Additionally, the COD removal experiments were conducted on the actual dye wastewater, showing the excellent performance of the Cr(VI)/Sulfite system in treating industrial textile wastewater. This approach presents a promising strategy for effective "waste control by waste", offering great potential for addressing challenges related to dye wastewater treatment and environmental pollution control in practical industrial scenarios.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:34364-34376. [PMID: 37780026 PMCID: PMC10534912 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c01333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the removal of Crocein Orange G dye (COG) from aqueous solution was investigated using an innovative green catalyst to overcome problems with chemical techniques. Clay bentonite El Hamma (HB)-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) was used as a heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst for the oxidation of harmful COG. Palm waste extract was herein used as a reducing and capping agent to synthesize NZVI, and HB clay was employed, which was obtained from the El Hamma bentonite deposit in the Gabes province of Tunisia. HB and HB-NZVI were characterized by various techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and zeta potential. Under optimal conditions, total degradation of COG was attained within 180 min. Kinetic studies showed that the dye degradation rate followed well the pseudo-second-order model. The apparent activation energy was 33.11 kJ/mol, which is typical of a physically controlled reaction. The degradation pathways and mineralization study revealed that the adsorption-Fenton-like reaction was the principal mechanism that demonstrated 100% degradation efficiency of COG even after three successive runs. Obtained results suggest that HB-NZVI is an affective heterogeneous catalyst for the degradation of COG by H2O2 and may constitute a sustainable green catalyst for azoic dye removal from industrial wastewaters.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 447:130711.

Abstract
Biochar-supported zero-valent iron nanocomposites have received much attention due to their application potential in environmental pollution remediation. However, in many occasions, zero-valent iron loading improves the electron transfer efficiency and catalytic oxidation capacity of biochar while blocking the original pore structure of biochar, limiting its application potential. In this study, a zero-valent iron composites with large SSA (865.86 m2/g) was prepared in one step using pre-pyrolysis of biochar powder and K2FeO4 grinding for co-pyrolysis. The processes of ZVI generation and SSA expansion during the pyrolysis were investigated. The factors affecting the removal process of Cd and OTC in water by the composites were investigated. The mechanisms of Cd fixation and OTC degradation by the composites were explored by experiments, characterization, and DFT calculations. The OTC degradation pathway was proposed by theoretical predication and LC-MS spectrometry. The results indicate that ion exchange, complexation with oxygen-containing functional groups, electrostatic attraction, and interaction with π-electrons are the main mechanisms of Cd immobilization. The degradation pathways of OTC mainly include dehydroxylation, deamination and dealkylation.

Abstract
An effective way of improving the efficiency of agrochemicals and improving crop yield and quality is by slow or sustained release, which is conducive to environmental protection. Meanwhile, the excessive amount of heavy metal ions in soil can create toxicity in plants. Here, we prepared lignin-based dual-functional hydrogels containing conjugated agrochemical and heavy metal ligands through free-radical copolymerization. The content of the agrochemicals (including plant growth regulator 3-indoleacetic acid (IAC) and herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (DCP)) in the hydrogels were tuned by changing the hydrogel composition. The conjugated agrochemicals could slowly release through the gradual cleavage of the ester bond. As a result of the release of the DCP herbicide, the growth of lettuce was effectively regulated, thus confirming the feasibility and effectiveness of this system in application. At the same time, due to the presence of metal chelating groups (such as COOH, phenolic OH, and tertiary amine) the hydrogels could act as adsorbents or stabilizers towards heavy metal ions for improving the soil remediation and preventing the adsorption of these toxic metals by plant roots. Specifically, Cu(II) and Pb(II) could be adsorbed >380 and 60 mg/g, respectively.

Abstract
The lignin-based magnetic biochar (LMB) was fabricated with a facile one-step solvothermal method. The spherical Fe3O4 was successfully loaded on the lignin-based biochar. LMB could efficiently remove Cr(VI) and Congo red (CR) synergistically with the adsorption of biochar and the catalytic/reduction of Fe3O4. LMB showed a removal efficiency of 100 % for Cr(VI) (100 mg/L) at 30 min. The LMB could be a catalyst to activate persulfate (PS) to degrade CR. The LMB + PS system showed a removal efficiency of 94.3 % for CR at 60 min. Moreover, LMB could simultaneously remove 41.5 % of Cr(VI) and 91.5 % of CR in the mixed Cr(VI) and CR solution. The simulated wastewater studies showed that LMB exhibited superior high Cr(VI) (100 %) and CR (82 %) removal efficiencies with the coexistent of anions, cations, and organic matter. LMB can be effectively applied to remove Cr(VI) and CR and purify different contaminated water bodies.
