Abstract
Due to the frequent detection and potential toxicity of moxifloxacin (MOX), its removal technology had attracted attention in recent years. In this research, CuFeS2/MXene was prepared and used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to remove MOX. The degradation efficiencies, kinetics, influences, and reaction mechanism of MOX by CuFeS2/MXene/PMS were investigated. The synergistic effect of CuFeS2 and MXene significantly enhanced PMS activation, producing SO4•-, HO•, and 1O2 as the main active species. By adding 0.12 g/L CuFeS2/MXene and 0.12 mM PMS, MOX removal efficiency reached 99.1% within 40 min, with a rate constant of 0.1073 min-1. The composite ratios of CuFeS2/MXene impacted PMS activation more significantly than catalyst dosages and PMS concentrations. Acidic conditions were favorable for the degradation of MOX, while HCO3-, HPO42-, Mn2+, and HA had the inhibitory effects. Twelve major products were detected by HPLC-MS, and DFT was used to illustrate possible degradation pathways of MOX, including the removal of nitrogen-containing heterocycle and transformations of quinolone moieties. Toxicity analysis showed that the developmental toxicity, mutagenicity, and acute toxicity of degradation products tended to decrease. CuFeS2/MXene could exhibit excellent reusability, maintaining an average MOX degradation efficiency of 90.8% in the 7-cycle experiments.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 357:141938. [PMID: 38631498 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141938] [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: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
The peroxynitrite photocatalytic degradation system was considered a green, convenient, and efficient water treatment process, but not satisfying against some antibiotics, e.g. sulfonamides (SAs). To improve the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of SAs, sulfur was introduced to a magnetic Fe-MOF (Fe-metal organic framework) Prussian blue analog to achieve a heteroatomic material CuFeO@S, which was applied in heterogeneous visible light photo-assisted catalytic process with persulfate (PS) as an oxidant. The characterization results of CuFeO@S by XRD and XPS confirmed the presence of Fe3O4 (for magnetic separation), Cu+ (for activation of PS) and S2- (for narrowing the energy band and prolonging the lifetime of photo-generated electronics). Through systematic optimization of reaction conditions in CuFeO@S + PS + hv system, efficient degradation of four tested SAs was achieved in 30 min (removal rate of 97-100% for the tested 4 SAs). Moreover, the material could be magnetically recycled and reused for over 7 cycles with a removal rate of >90% for sulfamerazine. Furthermore, the removal rate of sulfamerazine in pond water reached 99% at a mineralization rate of about 34% (decrease in total organic matter), demonstrating its potential in the treatment of antibiotic-containing wastewater.

Insight into the role of reactive species on catalyst surface underlying peroxymonosulfate activation by P-Fe 2MnO 4 loaded on bentonite for trichloroethylene degradation. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 357:141943. [PMID: 38621492 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141943] [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: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
In this study, bentonite supporting phosphorus-doped Fe2MnO4 (BPF) was synthesized and applied for PMS activation to degrade TCE. Morphology and structure characterization results indicated the successfully synthesized of BPF, and the BPF/PMS system not only featured high TCE removal (97.4%) but also high reaction rate constant (kobs = 0.0554 min-1) and PMS utilization (70.4%, kobs = 0.0228 min-1). According to the results of various experiments, massive oxygen vacancies on P-Fe2MnO4 alter its charge balance and facilitate the electron transfer process named adjacent transfer (direct electron capture by adsorbed PMS from adjacent TCE). Mn(III) is the main adsorption site for PMS, and the hydroxyl groups on the catalyst (Fe sites of P-Fe2MnO4, Si and Al sites of bentonite) can also offer binding sites for PMS. The hydrogen-bonded PMS on Fe(III) and Mn(III) sites will subsequently accept the discharged electrons to generate free radicals and high-valent metal species. Meanwhile, electron loss of HSO5- that chemically bonded to hydroxyl groups on bentonite will generate SO5•-, which will further produce 1O2 through self-bonding. the active species on the catalyst surface contribute 65% of TCE degradation in the heterogeneous catalytic oxidation system.

Abstract
This work developed a novel chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) incorporated catalytic ceramic membrane (CFSCM), and comprehensively evaluated the oxidation-filtration efficiency and mechanism of CFSCM/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organics removal and membrane fouling mitigation. Results showed that PMS activation was more efficient in the confined membrane pore structure. The CFSCM50/PMS filtration achieved almost complete removal of 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) under the following conditions: pH = 6.0, CPMS = 0.5 mM, and C4-HBA = 10 mg/L. Meanwhile, the membrane showed good stability after multiple uses. During the reaction, SO4•- and •OH were generated in the CFSCM50/PMS system, and SO4•- was considered to be the dominant reactive species for pollutant removal. The roles of copper, iron, and sulfur species, as well as the possible catalytic mechanism were also clarified. Besides, the CFSCM50/PMS catalytic filtration exhibited excellent antifouling properties against NOM with reduced reversible and irreversible fouling resistances. The Extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory analysis showed an increased in repulsive energy at the membrane-foulant interface in the CFSCM50/PMS system. Membrane fouling model analysis indicated that standard blocking was the dominant fouling pattern for CFSCM50/PMS filtration. Overall, this work demonstrates an efficient catalytic filtration process for foulants removal and outlines the synergy of catalytic oxidation and interface interaction.

Abstract
Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a prevalent sulfonamide antibiotic found in the environment, and it has a variety of detrimental effects on environmental sustainability and water safety. Recently, the combination of photocatalysis and sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) has attracted a lot of interest as a viable technique for degradation of refractory pollutants. In this study, a visible light active CuFeS2 supported on dendritic mesoporous silica-titania (CuFeS2-DMST) photocatalyst was synthesized to improve the ability of TiO2 to activate persulfate (PS) by introducing CuFeS2 (Fe2+/Fe3+, Cu+/Cu2+ redox cycles). The CuFeS2-DMST/PS/Vis system demonstrated superior SMX degradation efficiency (88.9%, 0.0146 min-1) than TiO2 because of reduced e-/h+ recombination, excellent charge separation and mobility, and a greater surface area than TiO2. Furthermore, after four consecutive photocatalytic cycles, the system demonstrated moderate stability. From chemical quenching tests, O2●-, h+, 1O2, SO4●- and ●OH were found to be the main reactive oxidizing species. The formed intermediates during the degradation process were identified, and degradation mechanisms were proposed. This study proposes a viable technique for activating PS using a low-cost, stable, and high-surface-area TiO2-based photocatalyst, and this concept can be applied to design photocatalysts for water treatment.

[PMID: 37777089 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140300] [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: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
Surface electron transport and transfer of catalysts have important consequences for persulfate (PS) activation in PS system. In this paper, an electron-rich Cu-beta zeolites catalyst was synthesized utilizing a straightforward solid-state ion exchange technique to efficiently degrade sulfadiazine. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results revealed that Cu element substitutes Al element and enters the beta molecular sieve framework smoothly. Furthermore, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements demonstrated that the Cu-beta catalyst is primarily Cu0. Cu-beta zeolites catalyst can exhibit excellent catalytic activity to degrade sulfadiazine with the oxidant of PS. The optimal sulfadiazine removal performance was explored by adjusting reaction parameters, including sulfadiazine concentration, catalyst dosage, oxidant dosage, and solution pH. The sulfadiazine removal efficiency in the Cu-beta zeolites/PS system could reach 90.5% at the optimal reaction condition ([PS]0 = 0.5 g/L, [Cu-beta zeolites]0 = 1.0 g/L, pH = 7.0) with 50 mg/L of sulfadiazine. Meanwhile, The degradation efficiency was less affected by anionic interference (Cl-, SO4-, HCO3-). The surface electron transport and transfer of the Cu-beta zeolites catalyst were significant causes for the remarkable degradation performance. According to electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quenching studies, the Cu-beta zeolites/PS system was mostly dominated by SO4•- in the degradation of sulfadiazine. Furthermore, two possible pathways for sulfadiazine degradation were proposed according to the analysis of intermediate products detected by the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

Abstract
Mn2O3 as a typical Mn based semiconductor has attracted growing attention due to its peculiar 3d electron structure and stability, and the multi-valence Mn on the surface is the key to peroxydisulfate activation. Herein, an octahedral structure of Mn2O3 with (111) exposed facet was synthesized by a hydrothermal method, which was further sulfureted to obtained a variable-valent Mn oxide for the high activation efficiency of peroxydisulfate under the light emitting diode irradiation. The degradation experiments showed that under the irradiation of 420 nm light, S modified manganese oxide showed an excellent removal for tetracycline within 90 min, which is about 40.4% higher than that of pure Mn2O3. In addition, the degradation rate constant k of S modified sample increased 2.17 times. Surface sulfidation not only increased the active sites and oxygen vacancies on the pristine Mn2O3 surface, but also changed the electronic structure of Mn due to the introduce of surface S2-. This modification accelerated the electronic transmission during the degradation process. Meanwhile, the utilization efficiency of photogenerated electrons was greatly improved under light. Besides, the S modified manganese oxide had an excellent reuse performance after four cycles. The scavenging experiments and EPR analyses showed that •OH and 1O2 were the main reactive oxygen species. This study therefore provides a new avenue for further developing manganese-based catalysts towards high activation efficiency for peroxydisulfate.
