Guo X, Chen H, Tong Y, Wu X, Tang C, Qin X, Guo J, Li P, Wang Z, Liu W, Mo J. A review on the antibiotic florfenicol: Occurrence, environmental fate, effects, and health risks. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 244:117934. [PMID: 38109957 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117934] [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: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
Florfenicol, as a replacement for chloramphenicol, can tightly bind to the A site of the 23S rRNA in the 50S subunit of the 70S ribosome, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and bacterial proliferation. Due to the widespread use in aquaculture and veterinary medicine, florfenicol has been detected in the aquatic environment worldwide. Concerns over the effects and health risks of florfenicol on target and non-target organisms have been raised in recent years. Although the ecotoxicity of florfenicol has been widely reported in different species, no attempt has been made to review the current research progress of florfenicol toxicity, hormesis, and its health risks posed to biota. In this study, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to summarize the effects of florfenicol on various organisms including bacteria, algae, invertebrates, fishes, birds, and mammals. The generation of antibiotic resistant bacteria and spread antibiotic resistant genes, closely associated with hormesis, are pressing environmental health issues stemming from overuse or misuse of antibiotics including florfenicol. Exposure to florfenicol at μg/L-mg/L induced hormetic effects in several algal species, and chromoplasts might serve as a target for florfenicol-induced effects; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are completely lacking. Exposure to high levels (mg/L) of florfenicol modified the xenobiotic metabolism, antioxidant systems, and energy metabolism, resulting in hepatotoxicity, renal toxicity, immunotoxicity, developmental toxicity, reproductive toxicity, obesogenic effects, and hormesis in different animal species. Mitochondria and the associated energy metabolism are suggested to be the primary targets for florfenicol toxicity in animals, albeit further in-depth investigations are warranted for revealing the long-term effects (e.g., whole-life-cycle impacts, multigenerational effects) of florfenicol, especially at environmental levels, and the underlying mechanisms. This will facilitate the evaluation of potential hormetic effects and construction of adverse outcome pathways for environmental risk assessment and regulation of florfenicol.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 899:165625.

Abstract
Pollutants of emerging concern in aqueous environments present a significant threat to both the aquatic ecosystem and human health due to their rapid transfer. Among the various treatment approaches to remove those pollutants, UV-assisted advanced oxidation/reduction processes are considered competent and cost-effective. The treatment effectiveness is highly dependent on the wavelength of the UV irradiation used. This article systematically discusses the wavelength dependency of direct photolysis, UV/peroxides, UV/chlor(am)ine, UV/ClO2, UV/natural organic matter, UV/nitrate, and UV/sulfite on the transformation of contaminants. Altering wavelengths affects the photolysis of target pollutants, photo-decay of the oxidant/reductant, and quantum yields of reactive species generated in the processes, which significantly impact the degradation rates and formation of disinfection byproducts. In general, the degradation of contaminants is most efficient when using wavelengths that closely match the highest molar absorption coefficients of the target pollutants or the oxidizing/reducing agents, and the contribution of pollutant absorption is generally more significant. By matching the wavelength with the peak absorbance of target compounds and oxidants/reductants, researchers and engineers have the potential to optimize the UV wavelengths used in UV-AO/RPs to effectively remove pollutants and control the formation of disinfection byproducts.

Abstract
Textile wastewater containing dyes poses significant risks to the environment. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) effectively eliminate dyes by converting them into harmless substances. However, AOPs have drawbacks such as sludge formation, metal toxicity, and high cost. As an alternative to AOPs, calcium peroxide (CaO2) offers an eco-friendly and potent oxidant for dye removal. Unlike certain AOPs that generate sludge, CaO2 can be directly employed without resulting in sludge formation. This study examines the use of CaO2 for oxidizing Reactive Black 5 (RB5) in textile wastewater without any activator. Various independent factors-pH, CaO2 dosage, temperature, and certain anions-were investigated for their influence on the oxidation process. The effects of these factors on dye oxidation were analyzed using the Multiple Linear Regression Method (MLR). CaO2 dosage was determined to be the most influential parameter for RB5 oxidation, while the optimal pH for oxidation with CaO2 was found to be 10. The study determined that 0.5 g of CaO2 achieved approximately 99% efficiency in oxidizing 100 mg/L of RB5. Additionally, the study revealed that the oxidation process is endothermic, with an activation energy (Ea) and standard enthalpy (ΔH°) for RB5 oxidation by CaO2 determined as 31.135 kJ mol-1 and 110.4 kJ mol-1, respectively. The presence of anions decreased RB5 oxidation, with decreasing effectiveness observed in the order of PO43-, SO42-, HCO3-, Cl-, CO32-, and NO3-. Overall, this research highlights CaO2 as an effective, easy-to-use, eco-friendly, and cost-efficient method for removing RB5 from textile wastewater.

Abstract
Tetracyclines (TC) frequently detected in the aqueous environment pose threats to humans and ecosystems. The synergistic technology coupling ultrasound (US) and calcium peroxide (CaO2) has a great potential to abate TC in wastewater. However, the degradation efficiency and detailed mechanism of TC removal in the US/CaO2 system is unclear. This work was carried out to assess the performance and mechanism of TC removal in the US/CaO2 system. The results demonstrated that 99.2% of TC was degraded by the combination of 15 mM CaO2 with ultrasonic power of 400 W (20 kHz), but only about 30% and 4.5% of TC was removed by CaO2 (15 mM) or US (400 W) alone process, respectively. Experiments using specific quenchers and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis indicated that the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH), superoxide radicals (O2-•), and single oxygen (1O2) in the process, whereas •OH and 1O2 were mainly responsible for the degradation of TC. The removal of TC in the US/CaO2 system has a close relationship with the ultrasonic power, the dosage of CaO2 and TC, and the initial pH. The degradation pathway of TC in the US/CaO2 process was proposed based on the detected oxidation products, and it mainly included N,N-dedimethylation, hydroxylation, and ring-opening reactions. The presence of 10 mM common inorganic anions including chloridion (Cl-), nitrate ion (NO3-), sulfate ion (SO42-), and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) showed negligible influences on the removal of TC in the US/CaO2 system. The US/CaO2 process could efficiently remove TC in real wastewater. Overall, this work firstly demonstrated that •OH and 1O2 mainly contributed to the removal of pollutants in the US/CaO2 system, which was remarkable for understanding the mechanisms of CaO2-based oxidation process and its future application.

Abstract
In the era of the current epidemic, it is urgent to control pathogens in sewage, eliminate the source of infection, and optimize the technology for killing pathogens. Combining calcium peroxide (CaO2) with sunlight is considered a potentially efficient, economical, and eco-friendly method for pathogen-contaminated water remediation. This paper evaluated the solar activating properties of CaO2 for inactivating pathogenic indicators and explored the roles of reactive species contributing to pathogen inactivation. Moreover, these reactive species' average steady-state concentrations and second-order reaction rate were tentatively explored, and mechanistic model for photoinactivation were establishment. Pathogen's inactivation was mainly attributed to direct photoinactivation (13∼50%) and exogenous indirect mechanisms with corresponding contributions of reactive species, i.e., OH- (14∼23%), 1O2 (12∼28%), •OH (20∼32%), O2•- (12∼16%), and H2O2 (6∼11%). Furthermore, cell membrane rupture and DNA damage were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) experiments. Among experiments on common aqueous constituents influencing photoinactivation, copper and iron ions were found to promote a pathogen-inactivating ability of the system, while fulvic acids (FA) and humic acid (HA) had the opposite effect. This study revealed the potential of CaO2/sunlight to inactivate pathogens and laid a foundation for its application in inactivating pathogens in surface water.

Abstract
Chloramphenicol antibiotics are widely applied in human and veterinary medicine. They experience natural attenuation and/or chemical degradation during oxidative water treatment. However, the environmental risks posed by the transformation products of such organic contaminants remain largely unknown from the literature. As such, this review aims to summarize and analyze the elimination efficiency, reaction mechanisms, and resulting product risks of three typical chloramphenicol antibiotics (chloramphenicol, thiamphenicol, and florfenicol) from these transformation processes. The obtained results suggest that limited attenuation of these micropollutants is observed during hydrolysis, biodegradation, and photolysis. Comparatively, prominent abatement of these compounds is accomplished using advanced oxidation processes; however, efficient mineralization is still difficult given the formation of recalcitrant products. The in silico prediction on the multi-endpoint toxicity and biodegradability of different products is systematically performed. Most of the transformation products are estimated with acute and chronic aquatic toxicity, genotoxicity, and developmental toxicity. Furthermore, the overall reaction mechanisms of these contaminants induced by multiple oxidizing species are revealed. Overall, this review unveils the non-overlooked and serious secondary risks and biodegradability recalcitrance of the degradation products of chloramphenicol antibiotics using a combined experimental and theoretical method. Strategic improvements of current treatment technologies are strongly recommended for complete water decontamination.

Abstract
Water polluted by pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) and water-borne pathogens urgently need to develop eco-friendly and advanced water treatment techniques. This paper evaluates the potential of using calcium peroxide (CaO2), a safe and biocompatible oxidant both PhACs (thiamphenicol, florfenicol, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and primidone) and pathogens (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) in water. This paper evaluates the potential of using calcium peroxide (CaO2) as a safe and biocompatible oxidant to remove both PhACs (thiamphenicol, florfenicol, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and primidone) and pathogens (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus) in water. The increased CaO2 dosage increased efficiencies of PhACs attenuation and pathogens inactivation, and both exhibited pseudo-first-order degradation kinetics (R2 > 0.90). PhACs attenuation were mainly via oxidization (H2O2, •OH/O•-, and O2•-) and alkaline hydrolysis (OH-) from CaO2. Moreover, concentrations of these reactive species and their contributions to PhACs attenuation were quantified, and mechanistic model was established and validated. Besides, possible transformation pathways of target PhACs except primidone were proposed. As for pathogen indicators, the suitable inactivation dosage of CaO2 was 0.1 g L-1. The oxidability (18-64%) and alkalinity (82-36%) generated from CaO2 played vital roles in pathogen inactivation. In addition, CaO2 at 0.01-0.1 g L-1 can be applied in remediation of SW contaminated by PhACs and pathogenic bacteria, which can degrade target PhACs with efficiencies of 21-100% under 0.01 g L-1 CaO2, and inactivate 100% of test bacteria under 0.1 g L-1 CaO2. In short, capability of CaO2 to remove target PhACs and microbial pathogens reveals its potential to be used as a representative technology for the advanced treatment of waters contaminated by organic compounds and microbial pathogens.

Abstract
Large amounts of antibiotics are concentrated in waste activated sludge (WAS) and released into the environment. It is thus critical to develop advanced sludge treatment technology to remove these antibiotics. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) combined with calcium peroxide (CaO2), as an innovative technology to attenuate sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in sludge, was investigated. Evident synergistic effects between DBD and CaO2 were observed on the SMX degradation with a synergistic factor of 2.02. Moreover, the energy consumption of DBD/CaO2 was significantly lower than that of DBD alone. At a typical CaO2 dosage of 0.1 g/g TS and discharge power of 64.5 W, the highest SMX removal of 96% was achieved within 50 min. The synergistic effects of DBD/CaO2 could be associated with the base catalysis of H2O2 and O3, UV-base-photolysis, peroxone oxidation, and photocatalytic H2O2. DBD/CaO2 generated various reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS) that participated in SMX removal. The contributions of these reactive species followed the sequence of e- > •OH > •O2- > 1O2 > ONOO-. Based on the detected transformation by-products and their variations during treatment, a plausible SMX degradation pathway in sludge was proposed. Besides, DBD/CaO2 also promoted sludge disintegration, dewatering, heavy metal removal, sludge reduction, sludge solubilization, and acetate-enriched volatile fatty acid (VFA) production. Therefore, DBD/CaO2 exhibited great potential for controlling antibiotic, as well as promoting sludge reduction, decontamination, and resourcization.

A comprehensive review on the use of algal-bacterial systems for wastewater treatment with emphasis on nutrient and micropollutant removal. Bioengineered 2022; 13:10412-10453. [PMID: 35441582 PMCID: PMC9161886 DOI: 10.1080/21655979.2022.2056823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
The scarcity of water resources and environmental pollution have highlighted the need for sustainable wastewater treatment. Existing conventional treatment systems are energy-intensive and not always able to meet stringent disposal standards. Recently, algal-bacterial systems have emerged as environmentally friendly sustainable processes for wastewater treatment and resource recovery. The algal-bacterial systems work on the principle of the symbiotic relationship between algae and bacteria. This paper comprehensively discusses the most recent studies on algal-bacterial systems for wastewater treatment, factors affecting the treatment, and aspects of resource recovery from the biomass. The algal-bacterial interaction includes cell-to-cell communication, substrate exchange, and horizontal gene transfer. The quorum sensing (QS) molecules and their effects on algal-bacterial interactions are briefly discussed. The effect of the factors such as pH, temperature, C/N/P ratio, light intensity, and external aeration on the algal-bacterial systems have been discussed. An overview of the modeling aspects of algal-bacterial systems has been provided. The algal-bacterial systems have the potential for removing micropollutants because of the diverse possible interactions between algae-bacteria. The removal mechanisms of micropollutants - sorption, biodegradation, and photodegradation, have been reviewed. The harvesting methods and resource recovery aspects have been presented. The major challenges associated with algal-bacterial systems for real scale implementation and future perspectives have been discussed. Integrating wastewater treatment with the algal biorefinery concept reduces the overall waste component in a wastewater treatment system by converting the biomass into a useful product, resulting in a sustainable system that contributes to the circular bioeconomy.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 426:128101. [PMID: 34952497 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.128101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2021] [Revised: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Biological treatment is an efficient and economical process to remove thiamphenicol (TAP) residues from the environment. The discovery of TAP-degrading bacteria and the decryption of its biodegradation mechanism will be beneficial to enhance the biological removal of TAP. In this study, Sphingomonas sp. CL5.1 was found to be capable of catabolizing TAP as the sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy source. This strain could degrade 93.9% of 25 mg/L TAP in 36 h, and remove about 11.9% of the total organic carbon of TAP. A novel metabolism pathway of TAP was constructed, and the enzymes involved in TAP metabolism in strain CL5.1 were predicted via proteomic and metabolic analysis. TAP was proposed to be transformed to O-TAP via oxidation of C3-OH and DD-TAP via dehydration of C3-OH and dehydrogenation of C1-OH. A novel glucose-methanol-choline (GMC) family oxidoreductase CapO was predicted to be involved in the oxidation of C3-OH. O-TAP was supposed to be further cleaved into DCA, glycine, and PMB. Glycine might be a pivotal direct nitrogen source for strain CL5.1, and it could be involved in nitrogen metabolism through the glycine cleavage system or directly participate in the biosynthetic processes.

Abstract
Calcium peroxide (CaO2), a common solid peroxide, has been increasingly used in contaminated site remediation due to its ability to release oxygen (O2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and its environmental friendliness. Our present study is first to explore micromechnisms of CaO2 to efficaciously inactivate pathogen indicators including gram-negative bacterium of Escherichia coli (E. coli), gram-positive bacterium of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and virus of Escherichia coli-specific M13 bacteriophage (VCSM13) under low concentration (≤ 4 mmol L-1 (mM)). The inactivation mechanisms of E. coli, S. aureus (1 mmol L-1 CaO2) and VCSM13 (4 mmol L-1) were mainly attributed to OH- (32∼58%) and •OH (34∼42%), followed by H2O2 (13∼20%) and O2•- (10∼12%) generated from CaO2, with the observed morphological and physiological-associated damages. Also, average steady-state concentrations of (OH-, •OH, H2O2, and O2•-) and their reaction rate constants with E. coli and VCSM13 were determined. Accordingly, the micro-mechanism model of inactivation was established and validated, and the inactivation efficiency of the same order of magnitude of pathogen was predicted. Furthermore, during the common environmental factors, the copper ions was found to be promote CaO2 inactivation of pathogens, and dissolved organic matter (DOM) fractions had a negative effect on CaO2 inactivation. The present study explored the mechanisms of CaO2 inactivation of pathogens in real surface water, laying the foundation for its potential use in the inactivation of water-borne microbial pathogens.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 416:125893. [PMID: 34492831 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2021] [Revised: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 04/10/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Vacuum UV (VUV) technology has attracted much attention because it effectively splits water to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ and has the advantages of UV. So far, the synergistic mechanisms, formation pathways and contributions of ROS in VUV/Fe2+/H2O2 process have not been extensively studied. Herein, complete removal (at 4 min) and 63.3% mineralization (at 8 min) of 45 μM norfloxacin (NOR) were achieved at neutral pH by VUV/Fe2+/H2O2 (90 μM Fe2+ and 3 mM H2O2). Compared with its subsystems, VUV/Fe2+/H2O2 can not only increase the pseudo-first-order reaction rate constant of NOR removal by 2.3-14.9 times and increase the mineralization by 20.4-59.4%, but also reduce the residual ratio of H2O2 by 19.9-70.1% and reduce total cost by 20.0-68.0%. The synergy factor of VUV/Fe2+/H2O2 was 3.97, which was attributed to the VUV irradiation promoting iron redox cycle and H2O2 decomposition. Moreover, hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical, which were identified as the main ROS, contributed 79.07% and 18.47% to NOR removal, respectively. Degradation pathways of NOR were proposed. Furthermore, effects of coexisting ions and dissolved organic matter were investigated. As an energy-saving and efficient process, the satisfactory results of VUV/Fe2+/H2O2 applied in real waters also highlight its application potential.

A novel persulfate-photo-bioelectrochemical hybrid system promoting the degradation of refractory micropollutants at neutral pH. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 416:125905.

Abstract
Bio-electro-Fenton is emerging as an alternative technology for the efficient and cost-effective removal of refractory micropollutants. Though promising, there are still several challenges that limit its wide application, including acidic operating conditions (pH at 2-3), the addition of supporting electrolytes (e.g., Na2SO4), and the issue of iron sludge generation. To address these challenges, a novel hybrid persulfate-photo-bioelectrochemical (PPBEC) system is proposed to remove model micropollutants (carbamazepine and clorfibric acid), from secondary effluent at low persulfate (PS) dosage and neutral pH. The effect of crucial operating parameters on the process was studied, including input voltage, cathodic aeration velocity, and PS dose. Under optimal conditions (0.6 V, 0.005 mL min-1 mL-1 and 1 mM), the PPBEC system achieved approx. 0.56-1.71 times greater micropollutant removal with 93% lower energy consumption when compared to the individual processes (UV/PS and PBEC). The improved performance was attributed to a faster production of sulfate radicals by UV irradiation, hydrogen peroxide activation and single-electron reduction, and hydroxyl radicals generated by UV irradiation. Furthermore, the transformation products of carbamazepine and clorfibric acid were identified and the probable pathways are proposed. Finally, the ecotoxicity of the PPBEC treated effluent was assessed by using Vibrio Fischeri, which exhibited a non-toxic effect.

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.

Abstract
The occurrence of sulfonamides in the environment is a severe global threat to public health due to the increasing prevalence of antibiotic selection pressure that may lead to the development of antibiotic resistance. We report an enhanced biodegradation of sulfadimethoxine (SDM) by Phanerochaete chrysosporium (Pc) with lignocellulosic biomass (Lb) using Fe3O4-ZSM-5 as a catalyst (Pc/Fe3O4-ZSM-5/Lb). SDM was completely degraded within 4 days at pH 7.0 in the Pc/Fe3O4-ZSM-5/Lb system. Transcriptomic, metabolites and free radical analyses were performed to explore the detailed molecular mechanisms of SDM degradation. A total of 246 genes of Pc in the Pc/Fe3O4-ZSM-5/Lb system exhibited significant upregulation compared to that in Pc alone. Upregulated genes encoding cellulases, cytochrome P450, cellobiose quinone oxidoreductase, and cellobiose dehydrogenase were involved in SDM degradation in the Pc/Fe3O4-ZSM-5/Lb system. In addition, genes encoding glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P450 genes related to oxidative stress and detoxification were all significantly upregulated (P < 0.01). Electron paramagnetic resonance revealed the generation of OH suggesting a free radical pathway could be catalyzed by Fe3O4-ZSM-5 and the enzymes. These findings of catalyst-assisted SDM biodegradation will be valuable for remediation of antibiotics from contaminated wastewater.

Abstract
This work evaluated different advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) operated at pilot-scale as tertiary treatment of municipal wastewater in terms of energy efficiency, disinfection by-products formation and pathogens inactivation. Investigated AOPs included UV/H2O2, UV/Cl2, O3, O3/UV, H2O2/O3/UV, Cl2/O3/UV. AOPs were operated using various ozone doses (1.5-9 mg L-1), and UV fluences (191-981 mJ cm-2). Electrical energy costs necessary for the oxidation of contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) (i.e., carbamazepine, fluoxetine, gemfibrozil, primidone, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim) were calculated using the electrical energy per order (EEO) parameter. Ozonation resulted by far the most energy efficient process, whereas UV/H2O2 and UV/Cl2 showed the highest energy costs. Energy costs for AOPs based on the combination of UV and ozone were in the order O3/UV ≈ Cl2/O3/UV > H2O2/O3/UV, and they were significantly lower than energy costs of UV/H2O2 and UV/Cl2 processes. Cl2/O3/UV increased bromate formation, O3/UV and O3 had same levels of bromate formation, whereas H2O2/O3/UV did not form bromate. In addition, UV photolysis resulted an effective treatment for NDMA mitigation even in combination with ozone and chlorine in AOP technologies. Ozonation (doses of 1.5-6 mg L-1) was the least effective process to inactivate somatic coliphages, total coliform, escherichia coli, and enterococci. UV irradiation was able to completely inactivate somatic coliphages, total coliform, escherichia coli at low fluence (191 mJ cm-2), whereas enterococci were UV resistant. AOPs that utilized UV irradiation were the most effective processes for wastewater disinfection resulting in a complete inactivation of selected indicator organisms by low ozone dose (1.5 mg L-1) and UV fluence (191-465 mJ cm-2).

Comparison of the new Cl 2/O 3/UV process with different ozone- and UV-based AOPs for wastewater treatment at pilot scale: Removal of pharmaceuticals and changes in fluorescing organic matter. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 765:142720. [PMID: 33572038 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.142720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2020] [Revised: 09/27/2020] [Accepted: 09/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
This work critically compared the removal of fluorescing PARAFAC components and selected pharmaceuticals (carbamazepine, fluoxetine, gemfibrozil, primidone, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim) from a tertiary wastewater effluent by different UV- and ozone-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) operated at pilot-scale. Investigated AOPs included UV/H2O2, UV/Cl2, O3, O3/UV, H2O2/O3/UV, and the new Cl2/O3/UV. AOPs comparison was accomplished using various ozone doses (0-9 mg/L), UV fluences (191-981 mJ/cm2) and radical promoter concentrations of Cl2 = 0.04 mM and H2O2 = 0.29 mM. Chlorine-based AOPs produced radical species that reacted more selectively with pharmaceuticals than radical species and oxidants generated by other AOPs. Tryptophan-like substances and humic-like fluorescing compounds were the most degraded components by all AOPs, which were better removed than microbial products and fulvic-like fluorescing substances. Removal of UV absorbance at 254 (UV254) nm was always low. Overall, chlorine-based AOPs were more effective to reduce fluorescence intensities than similar H2O2-based AOPs. The Cl2/O3/UV process was the most effective AOP to degrade all target micro-pollutants except primidone. On the other hand, the oxidation performance of pharmaceuticals by other ozone-based AOPs followed the order H2O2/O3/UV > O3/UV > O3. UV/Cl2 process outcompeted UV/H2O2 only for the removal of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole. Correlations between the removal of pharmaceuticals and spectroscopic indexes (PARAFAC components and UV254) had unique regression parameters for each compound, surrogate parameter and oxidation process. Particularly, a diverse PARAFAC component for each investigated AOP resulted to be the most sensitive surrogate parameter able to monitor small changes of pharmaceuticals removal.

Pretreatment using UV combined with CaO 2 for the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge: Mechanistic modeling for attenuation of trace organic contaminants.

Abstract
Trace organic contaminants (TOrCs) in waste active sludge (WAS) have caused many concerns due to their recalcitrance and detriment to the performance of anaerobic digestion (AD). In this study, UV (2 h) combined with calcium peroxide (CaO2, 0.1 g g-1-VSS (VSS, volatile suspended solid) was proposed as a suitable sludge pretreatment to enhance the AD performance with an increase in the production of maximum total short-chain fatty acids (421.3 %) and methane (119.2 %). Meanwhile, above 50 % removal efficiency for 19 detected TOrCs was achieved. UV and CaO2 had a synergistic effect on the subsequent AD of WAS. Both UV and Ca(OH)2 produced by CaO2 played important roles in the dissolution of WAS and the subsequent AD, while UV-direct and OH-indirect photolysis accounted for TOrCs attenuation. In order to predict TOrCs attenuation by UV/CaO2 treatment, a TOrCs photolysis model was tentatively established using carbamazepine as an indicator. This predictive model expressed a good prediction with adj-R2 = 0.94, and the difference of predicted and measured values was within 27.3 %. This work evaluates a sludge pretreatment for simultaneously TOrCs attenuation and methane accumulation, laying foundation for promotion of sludge resource recycling.

Abstract
The chlorobenzene (CB) degradation performances by various oxidants, including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nanoscale calcium peroxide (nCaO2) and sodium percarbonate (SPC), activated with ferrous iron (Fe(II)) were investigated and thoroughly compared. The results showed that all tested systems had strong abilities to degrade CB. The CB removal rate increased with increasing dosages of oxidants or Fe(II) because the generation of reactive oxygen species could be promoted with the chemical dosages' increase. Response surface and contour plots showed that CB could achieve a better removal performance at the same H2O2 and Fe(II) molar content, but the Fe(II) dosage was higher than that of oxidants in the nCaO2 and SPC systems. The optimal molar ratios of H2O2/Fe(II)/CB, nCaO2/Fe(II)/CB and SPC /Fe(II)/CB were 5.2/7.6/1, 8/8/1, and 4.5/8/1, respectively, in which 98.1%, 98%, and 96.4% CB removals could be obtained in 30 min reaction. The optimal pH condition was around 3, while CB removal rates were less than 20% in all three systems when the initial pH was adjusted to 9. The oxidative hydroxyl radicals (HO•) and singlet oxygen (1O2) had been detected by the electron paramagnetic resonance test. Based upon the results of liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer analysis, the pathways of CB degradation were proposed, in which 1O2 roles were elaborated innovatively in the CB degradation mechanism. The CB degradation performance was significantly affected in actual groundwater, while increasing the molar ratio of oxidant/Fe(II)/CB was an effective way to overcome the adverse effects caused by the complex of actual groundwater matrix.

CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 263:127944.

Abstract
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) have been frequently detected in aquatic environment and raised concerns because of their environmental persistence and potential ecological risk, especially carbamazepine (CBZ), erythromycin (ERY), atenolol (ATL) and clofibric acid (CA). The UV/H2O2 advanced oxidation process was considered as an effective process to remove pharmaceuticals in wastewater. Because of the diverse structure of pharmaceuticals and the various wastewater matrices, this study established two models to predict the degradation of 4 PhACs in wastewater by UV/H2O2. Besides, the degradation pathway and toxicity of 4 PhACs by UV/H2O2 were explored. The degradation of 4 PhACs by UV/H2O2 followed the pseudo first-order kinetics pattern. The degradation rate of pharmaceuticals decreased as CBZ > ATL > CA > ERY. A kinetic model combining the steady state concentrations of HO∙ successfully predicted the degradation process of pharmaceuticals in 14 secondary municipal wastewater effluents. Also, a water matrix prediction model by response surface methodology (RSM) was established to estimate the degradation of pharmaceuticals well. A detailed and systematic comparison of two models in the objectives of models, predicting target contaminants, types of wastewater and parameters of models was made. In addition, the tentative transformation pathways of 4 PhACs by UV/H2O2 were proposed. 4 PhACs after UV/H2O2 treatment enhanced the toxicity, and prolongation of treatment time can reduce the toxicity on the luminescence.

Abstract
Heterogeneous catalysis can be enhanced through the construction of effective atom connection for rapid electron transport on the catalyst surface. Hence, this study proposed a new strategy for electron transfer regulation to facilitate redox cycle of Cu(II)/Cu(I). The objective was achieved by successful construction of copper-containing covalent bond through the in situ growth of porous g-C3N4 with oxygen dopants and nitrogen defects (O-CND) on CuAlxOy substrate (CuAl@O-CND). On the basis of X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and other characterization results, the facilitated redox behavior of copper species by electron transfer regulation was ascribed to the formation of a C-O-Cu bond on the porous-rich superficial of the catalyst; these covalent C-O-Cu bonds shortened the migration distance of electrons between Cu(II) and Cu(I) via Cu(I)-O-C-O-Cu(II) bridge. The construction of copper-containing covalent bonds in the catalyst resulted in efficient PMS activation for a rapid redox cycle of Cu(II)/Cu(I), triggering a series of reactions involving the continuous production of three highly active species (SO4·-, ·OH and 1O2). The rapid diffusion and transportation of the generated active species from porous structures directly attack typical pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), achieving superior catalytic performance. This study provides a new routine to construct a C-O-Cu bond for PMS activation by regulating the electron transfer to accelerate the redox behavior of copper species for environmental remediation.

Abstract
The degradation of the antibiotic thiamphenicol has been studied by photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) process with UVA light using pyrite particles as catalyst source. Pyrite is a sulfide mineral that naturally acidifies the reaction medium and releases Fe2+, thus promoting the effective generation of OH from Fenton's reaction. The assays were made in an IrO2/air-diffusion cell, which yielded similar results to a boron-doped diamond (BDD)/air-diffusion one at a lower cost. In dark conditions, electro-Fenton (EF) process showed an analogous ability for drug removal, but mineralization was much poorer because of the large persistence of highly stable by-products. Their photolysis explained the higher performance of PEF. Conventional homogeneous PEF directly using dissolved Fe2+ exhibited a lower mineralization power. This suggests the occurrence of heterogeneous Fenton's reaction over the pyrite surface. The effect of current density and drug content on pyrite-catalyzed PEF performance was examined. The drug heteroatoms were gradually converted into SO42-, Cl- and NO3- ions. Nine aromatic derivatives and two dichloroaliphatic amines were identified by GC-MS, and five short-chain carboxylic acids were detected by ion-exclusion HPLC. A reaction route for thiamphenicol mineralization by PEF process with continuous H2O2 and Fe2+ supply on site is proposed.

Abstract
The instability and rapid consumption of H2O2 limit the application of UV/H2O2 in water treatment. Recently, calcium peroxide (CaO2) has been demonstrated as an effective source of H2O2. However, the performance and mechanism of UV/CaO2 are still unknown. Herein, UV/CaO2 and UV/H2O2 were compared for degradation of aniline. The removal efficiency of aniline by UV/CaO2 was slightly lower than that by UV/H2O2, which could be attributed to the light scavenger by CaO2 suspended particles. HO‧ was identified to participate in aniline degradation in both UV/CaO2 and UV/H2O2, while O2-· was only involved in UV/CaO2. The efficiency of aniline degradation in UV/CaO2 was affected by the released H2O2 in the system. The release and decomposition rate of H2O2 in UV/CaO2 system were influenced by the CaO2 dosage and reaction pH, but slightly related with water matrix. Excessive CaO2 would scavenge aniline degradation through the released H2O2 to react with HO‧. Acidic condition would enhance the concentration of H2O2 in UV/CaO2 and promote the degradation of aniline. Cl- showed slight and almost no effect on aniline degradation in UV/CaO2 and UV/H2O2 systems, respectively, while HCO3- scavenged aniline degradation in UV/CaO2. NO3- inhibited aniline degradation in both UV/CaO2 and UV/H2O2. Compared to UV/H2O2, UV/CaO2 shows the similar efficiency on organics removal but conquers the limitations in UV/H2O2, which is a promising alternative choice in water treatment.
