Abstract
Fluidized Bed Fenton (FBF) technology, a fusion of the Fenton method and fluidized bed reactor, has emerged as a superior alternative to conventional Fenton technology for treating organic industrial wastewater. This innovative approach has garnered significant attention from researchers in recent years. While earlier studies primarily focused on pollutant degradation in simulated wastewater and catalyst development, there has been a growing interest in examining the alterations in mass or heat transfer performance attributed to fluidized beds. This paper explores the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of Fluidized Bed Fenton technology in efficiently degrading various challenging organic pollutants, while also reducing iron sludge production and expanding the applicable pH range, through an analysis of reaction kinetics. Meanwhile, combined with the related work of fluid dynamics, the research related to mass and heat transfer inside the reactor of Fluidized Bed Fenton technology is summarized, and it is proposed that the use of computers to establish a suitable model of Fluidized Bed Fenton and solve it with the assistance of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and other software will help to further explore the process of mass and heat transfer inside the fluidized bed, which will provide the basis for the future of the Fluidized Bed Fenton from the laboratory to the actual industrial application.

Hu J, Lim FY, Hu J. Ozonation facilitates the aging and mineralization of polyethylene microplastics from water: Behavior, mechanisms, and pathways. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 866:161290. [PMID: 36592902 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.161290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the environment, of which 94 % undergo the aging process. Accelerated aging induced by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is significant in explaining the formation pathway of secondary MPs and enables possible mineralization. In this study, ozonation coupled with hydrogen peroxide (O3/H2O2), a type of AOPs, was applied for the aging of MPs (polyethylene, PE). Physiochemical properties of aged PE MPs were analyzed through scanning electron microscope, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflection, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The mechanism regarding the contribution of reactive oxygen species (•OH) was determined using chemical probe (p-chlorobenzoic acid) and quencher (tert-butanol). Possible transformation pathways were modeled via two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy. Mineralization of MPs, associated with aging was also studied, with the percentage of PE degradation determined by mass loss. Our results confirmed that ozonation promoted fragmentation of PE, with 20 mM H2O2 facilitating the production of •OH. The growth of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of PE was consistent with the alteration of the oxygen-to‑carbon atom ratio, revealing the formation of CO, CO, and C-O-C. The enhanced adsorption property of aged PE for triclosan was due to the increased specific surface area and negative charges on the surface. Moreover, the percentage of PE degradation was higher at lower concentrations, and the mass loss reached 32.56 % at a PE concentration of 0.05 g/L after 8-h ozonation. These results contribute to revealing the long-term aging behavior of MPs and providing significant guidance for employing AOPs to achieve efficient removal.

Abstract
The iron-catalyzed disproportionation of H2O2 has been investigated for over a century, as has been its ability to induce the oxidation of other species present in the system (Fenton reaction). The mechanisms of these reactions have been under consideration at least since 1932. Unfortunately, little or no attention has been paid to ensuring the conformity of the proposed mechanisms and rate constants with the constraints of the principle of detailed balancing. Here we identify more than 200 publications having mechanisms that violate the principle of detailed balancing. These violations occur through the use of incorrect values for certain rate constants, the use of incorrect forms of the rate laws for certain steps in the mechanisms, and the inclusion of illegal loops. A core mechanism for the iron-catalyzed decomposition of H2O2 is proposed that is consistent with the principle of detailed balancing and includes both the one-electron oxidation of H2O2 by Fe(III) and the Fe(II) reduction of HO2˙.
