Abstract
Natural manganese oxides could induce the intermolecular coupling reactions among small-molecule organics in aqueous environments, which is one of the fundamental processes contributing to natural humification. These processes could be simulated to design novel advanced oxidation technology for water purification. In this study, periodate (PI) was selected as the supplementary electron-acceptor for colloidal manganese oxides (Mn(IV)aq) to remove phenolic contaminants from water. By introducing polyferric sulfate (PFS) into the Mn(IV)aq/PI system and exploiting the flocculation potential of Mn(IV)aq, a post-coagulation process was triggered to eliminate soluble manganese after oxidation. Under acidic conditions, periodate exists in the H4IO6- form as an octahedral oxyacid capable of coordinating with Mn(IV)aq to form bidentate complexes or oligomers (Mn(IV)-PI*) as reactive oxidants. The Mn(IV)-PI* complex could induce cross-coupling process between phenolic contaminants, resulting in the formation of oligomerized products ranging from dimers to hexamers. These oligomerized products participate in the coagulation process and become stored within the nascent floc due to their catenulate nature and strong hydrophobicity. Through coordination between Mn(IV)aq and H4IO6-, residual periodate is firmly connected with manganese oxides in the floc after coagulation and could be simultaneously separated from the aqueous phase. This study achieves oxidizing oligomerization through a homogeneous process under mild conditions without additional energy input or heterogeneous catalyst preparation. Compared to traditional mineralization-driven oxidation techniques, the proposed novel cascade processes realize transformation, convergence, and separation of phenolic contaminants with high oxidant utilization efficiency for low-carbon purification.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134393.

Abstract
Solution pH is one of the primary factors affecting the efficiency of water decontamination. Although the influence of pH on oxidants activation, catalyst activity, and reactive oxygen species have been widely explored, there is still a scarcity of systemic studies on the changes in the oxidation behavior of organic pollutants at different pH levels. Herein, we report the influence laws of pH on the forms, reactivities, active sites, degradation pathways, and products toxicities of organic pollutants. Changes in pH cause the protonation or deprotonation of organic pollutants and further affect their forms and chemistry (e.g., electrostatic force, hydrophobicity, and oxidation potential). The oxidation potential of organic pollutants follows the order: protonated form > pristine form > deprotonated form. Moreover, protonation or deprotonation can modify the active sites and degradation pathways of organic pollutants, wherein deprotonation renders them more susceptible to electrophilic attack, while protonation reduces their activity against electrophilic and nucleophilic attacks. Additionally, pH adjustments can modify the degradation pathway and the toxicity of transformation products. Overall, pH changes can affect the oxidation fate of organic pollutants by altering their structure, which distinguishes it from the effect of pH on oxidants or oxidant activation processes.

Abstract
In order to gain a profound understanding of the fate of pollutants in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), this study analyzed the electron contribution of pollutants qualitatively and quantitatively which rarely reported before. The rich electron transfer system was constructed by mesoporous carbon nitride (MCN) coupling with persulfate (PS) driven by visible light and the sulfanilamide antibiotics (SULs) were used as target contaminants. Firstly, the qualitative analysis of electron transfer in the system was confirmed systematically. The electron flow direction tested by i-t curves indicated that PS absorbed electrons, while SULs released electrons. The flow rate of electrons was also accelerated after the addition of SULs. The fitting curve between the kinetics and the peak potential difference tested by CV curve showed that the larger potential difference, the slower rate of oxidative degradation. Secondly, the quantification of electron transfer was achieved through theoretical calculations to simulate the interactions of the 'catalyst-oxidant-antibiotic' system. After the addition of SULs, the adsorption energy of the 'catalyst-oxidant-antibiotic' system was enhanced and the bond length of the peroxide bond was stretched. Notably, the electron transfer analysis results showed that the charge of SULs was around 0.032-0.056e, indicating that SULs pollutants played the role of electron contributors in the system. The oxidative degradation pathway included the direct cracking of S-N bond, shedding of marginal groups, ring-opening and hydroxyl addition reaction. This study clarified the electronic contribution of SULs in the oxidation system, providing necessary theoretical supplement for the analysis of the transformation of pollutants in AOPs.

Abstract
Transition metal compounds (TMCs) have long been potential candidate catalysts in persulfate-based advanced oxidation process (PS-AOPs) due to their Fenton-like catalyze ability for radical generation. However, the mechanism involved in TMCs-catalyzed nonradical PS-AOPs remains obscure. Herein, the growth of FeO on the Fe3O4/carbon precursor is regulated by restricted pyrolysis of MIL-88A template to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for tetracycline (TC) removal. The higher FeO incorporation conferred a 2.6 times higher degradation performance than that catalyzed by Fe3O4 and also a higher interference resistance to anions or natural organic matter. Unexpectedly, the quenching experiment, probe method, and electron paramagnetic resonance quantitatively revealed that the FeO reassigned high nonradical species (1O2 and FeIV═O) generation to replace original radical system created by Fe3O4. Density functional theory calculation interpreted that PMS molecular on strongly-adsorbed (200) and (220) facets of FeO enjoyed unique polarized electronic reception for surface confinement effect, thus the retained peroxide bond energetically supported the production of 1O2 and FeIV═O. This work promotes the mechanism understanding of TMCs-induced surface-catalyzed persulfate activation and enables them better perform catalytic properties in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, the porous carbon material (FeN-BC) with ultra-high catalytic activity was obtained from waste biomass through Fe-N co-doping. The prominent degradation rate (> 96.8%) of naproxen (NAP) was achieved over a wide pH range (pH 3.0-9.0) in FeN-BC/PAA system. Unlike previously reported iron-based peracetic acid (PAA) systems with •OH or RO• as the dominated reactive species, the degradation of contaminants was attributed to singlet oxygen (1O2) produced by organic radicals (RO•) decomposition, which was proved to be thermodynamically feasible and favorable by theoretical calculations. Combining the theoretical calculations, characteristic and experimental analysis, the synergistic effects of Fe and N were proposed and summarized as follows: i) promoted the formation of extensive defects and Fe0 species that facilitated electron transfer between FeN-BC and PAA and continuous Fe(II) generation; ii) modified the specific surface area (SSA) and the isoelectric point of FeN-BC in favor of PAA adsorption on the catalyst surface. This study provides a strategy for waste biomass reuse to construct a heterogeneous catalyst/PAA system for efficient water purification and reveals the synergistic effects of typical metal-heteroatom for PAA activation.

Abstract
Biochar-bound persistent free radicals (biochar-PFRs) attract much attention because they can directly or indirectly mediate the transformation of contaminants in large-scale wastewater treatment processes. Despite this, a comprehensive top-down understanding of the redox activity of biochar-PFRs, particularly consumption and regeneration mechanisms, as well as challenges in redox activity assessment, is still lacking. To tackle this challenge, this review outlines the identification and determination methods of biochar-PFRs, which serve as a prerequisite for assessing the redox activity of biochar-PFRs. Recent developments concerning biochar-PFRs are discussed, with a main emphasis on the reaction mechanisms (both non-free radical and free radical pathways) and their effectiveness in removing contaminants. Importantly, the review delves into the mechanism of biochar-PFRs regeneration, triggered by metal cations, reactive oxygen species, and ultraviolet radiations. Furthermore, this review thoroughly explores the dilemma in appraising the redox activity of biochar-PFRs. Components with unpaired electrons (particular defects and metal ions) interfere with biochar-PFRs signals in electron paramagnetic resonance spectra. Scavengers and extractants of biochar-PFRs also inevitably modify the active ingredients of biochar. Based on these analyses, a practical strategy is proposed to precisely determine the redox activity of biochar-PFRs. Finally, the review concludes by presenting current gaps in knowledge and offering suggestions for future research. This comprehensive examination aims to provide new and significant insights into the redox activity of biochar-PFRs.

Abstract
Catalytic polymerization pathways in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently drawn much attention for organic pollutant elimination owing to the rapid removal kinetics, high selectivity, and recovery of organic carbon from wastewater. This work presents a review on the polymerization regimes in AOPs and their applications in wastewater decontamination. The review mainly highlights three critical issues in polymerization reactions induced by persulfate activation (Poly-PS-AOPs), including heterogeneous catalysts, persulfate activation pathways, and properties of organic substrates. The dominant influencing factors on the selection of catalysts, activation regimes of reactive oxygen species, and polymerization processes of organic substrates are discussed in detail. Moreover, we systematically demonstrate the merits and challenges of Poly-PS-AOPs upon pollutant degradation and polymer synthesis. We particularly highlight that Poly-PS-AOPs technology could be promising in the treatment of industrial wastewater containing heterocyclic organics and the synthesis of polymers and polymer-functionalized materials for advanced environmental and energy applications.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) oxidation catalyzed by metal-free carbons is promising for advanced water decontamination. Nevertheless, developing reaction-oriented and high-performance carbocatalysts has been limited by the ambiguous understanding of the intrinsic relationship between carbon chemical/molecular structure and PAA transformation behavior. Herein, we comprehensively investigated the PAA activation using a family of well-defined sp2/sp3 carbon hybrids from annealed nanodiamonds (ANDs). The activity of ANDs displays a volcano-type trend, with respect to the sp2/sp3 ratio. Intriguingly, sp3-C-enriched AND exhibits the best catalytic activity for PAA activation and phenolic oxidation, which is different from persulfate chemistry in which the sp2 network normally outperforms sp3 hybridization. At the electron-rich sp2-C site, PAA undergoes a reduction reaction to generate a reactive complex (AND-PAA*) and induces an electron-transfer oxidation pathway. At the sp3-C site adjacent to C═O, PAA is oxidized to surface-confined OH* and O* successively, which ultimately evolves into singlet oxygen (1O2) as the primary reactive species. Benefiting from the dual nonradical regimes on sp2/sp3 hybrids, AND mediates a sustainable redox recycle with PAA to continuously generate reactive species to attack water contaminants, meanwhile maintaining structural/chemical integrity and exceptional reusability in cyclic runs.

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX), a widely utilized antibiotic, was continually detected in the environment, causing serious risks to aquatic ecology and water security. In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with abundant defects were developed by argon plasma-etching technology to enhance the activation of persulfate (PS, including peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS)) for SMX degradation while reducing environmental toxicity. Obviously, the increase of ID/IG value from 0.980 to 1.333 indicated that Ar plasma-etching successfully introduced rich defects into CNTs. Of note, Ar-90-CNT, whose Ar plasma-etching time was 90 min with optimum catalytic performance, exhibited a significant discrepancy between PMS activation and PDS activation. Interestingly, though the Ar-90-CNT/PDS system (kobs = 0.0332 min-1) was more efficient in SMX elimination than the Ar-90-CNT/PMS system (kobs = 0.0190 min-1), Ar plasma-etching treatment had no discernible enhancement in the catalytic efficiency of MWCNT for PDS activation. Then the discrepancy on activation mechanism between PMS and PDS was methodically investigated through quenching experiments, electron spin resonance (ESR), chemical probes, electrochemical measurements and theoretical calculations, and the findings unraveled that the created vacancy defects were the ruling active sites for the production of dominated singlet oxygen (1O2) in the Ar-90-CNT/PMS system to degrade SMX, while the electron transfer pathway (ETP), originated from PDS activation by the inherent edge defects, was the central pathway for SMX removal in the Ar-90-CNT/PDS system. Based on the toxicity test of Microcystis aeruginosa, the Ar-90-CNT/PDS system was more effective in alleviating environmental toxicity during SMX degradation. These findings not only provide insights into the discrepancy between PMS activation and PDS activation via carbon-based materials with controlled defects regulated by the plasma-etching strategy, but also efficiently degrade sulfonamide antibiotics and reduce the toxicity of their products.

Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) oxidation reactions have been extensively studied recently. Due to the high material cost and low catalytic capability, PMS oxidation technology cannot be effectively applied in an industrial water treatment process. In this work, we developed a modification strategy based on enhancing the neglected electron tunneling effect to optimize the intrinsic electron transport process of the catalyst. The 2D nitrogen-doped carbon-based nanosheets with small interlayer spacing were prepared by self-polymerization of dopamine hydrochloride inserted into the natural layered bentonite template. Systematic characterizations confirmed that the smaller layer spacing in the 2D nitride-doped carbon-based nanosheets reduces the depletion layer width. The weak electronic shielding effect derived by the small layer spacing on the material subsurface enhanced the bulk electron tunneling effect. More bulk electrons could be migrated to the catalyst surface to activate PMS molecules. The PMS activation system showed ultrafast oxidation capability to degrade organic pollutants and strong ability to resist interference from environmental matrixes due to the optimized electron transfer process. Furthermore, the developed membrane reactor exhibited strong catalytic stability during the continuous degradation of P-Chlorophenol (CP).

Atomically dispersed cobalt activator with nitrogen and sulfur co-coordination for high-efficiency Fenton-like catalysis: Insights into density-dependent activity and mechanisms.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed metal activators (ADMAs) have demonstrated unique advantages in environmental remediation, but how to controllably regulate the active site density and electronic structure of ADMAs to further enhance activation efficiency remains challenging. Here, we introduce a sulfur-atom-doping approach that allows the fine-tuning of atomic Co site content and electronic structure, enabling exploration of density-dependent activation performance of ADMAs for peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based Fenton-like catalysis. Our investigation reveals a direct correlation between activation capacity and single-Co-site density. The optimal SNC@CoSA-0.05 activator with densely populated Co-N3S1 sites (10.1 wt%) displays exceptional efficacy in eliminating Rhodamine B, with specific activity of 31.0 min-1 g-1 L, outperforming most previously published activators. Moreover, SNC@CoSA-0.05 showed a remarkedly reduced metal leaching (47.4 μg L-1) than its nanocluster counterpart (194 μg L-1) at pH 3.2. Experimental and theoretical analyses unveiled that coordinated sulfur actively modulates the electronic structure of the central Co atom, enhancing the adsorption and activation of PMS, thereby improving decontamination efficiency. Mechanistic studies further elucidate the predominant electron-transfer regime involved in oxidizing micropollutants by SNC@CoSA-0.05/PMS, with Co(IV)=O, •OH, and SO4•- being the auxiliary oxidizing species. This study not only offers a method for concurrent adjustment of active site density and electronic structure in ADMAs but also sheds light on the activation mechanisms of atomic metal sites.

Unlocking the power of activated carbon-mediated peracetic acid activation for efficient antibiotics abatement in groundwater: Coupling the processes of electron transfer, radical production, and adsorption. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:133911. [PMID: 38430597 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133911] [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: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
The activation of peracetic acid (PAA) by activated carbon (AC) is a promising approach for reducing micropollutants in groundwater. However, to harness the PAA/AC system's potential and achieve sustainable and low-impact groundwater remediation, it is crucial to quantify the individual contributions of active species. In this study, we developed a combined degradation kinetic and adsorption mass transfer model to elucidate the roles of free radicals, electron transfer processes (ETP), and adsorption on the degradation of antibiotics by PAA in groundwater. Our findings reveal that ETP predominantly facilitated the activation of PAA by modified activated carbon (AC600), contributing to ∼61% of the overall degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The carbonyl group (CO) on the surface of AC600 was identified as a probable site for the ETP. Free radicals contributed to ∼39% of the degradation, while adsorption was negligible. Thermodynamic and activation energy analyses indicate that the degradation of SMX within the PAA/AC600 system requires a relatively low energy input (27.66 kJ/mol), which is within the lower range of various heterogeneous Fenton-like reactions, thus making it easily achievable. These novel insights enhance our understanding of the AC600-mediated PAA activation mechanism and lay the groundwork for developing efficient and sustainable technologies for mitigating groundwater pollution. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: The antibiotics in groundwater raises alarming environmental concerns. As groundwater serves as a primary source of drinking water for nearly half the global population, the development of eco-friendly technologies for antibiotic-contaminated groundwater remediation becomes imperative. The innovative PAA/AC600 system demonstrates significant efficacy in degrading micropollutants, particularly sulfonamide antibiotics. By integrating degradation kinetics and adsorption mass transfer models, this study sheds light on the intricate mechanisms involved, emphasizing the potential of carbon materials as sustainable tools in the ongoing battle for clean and safe groundwater.

Abstract
Pollutant degradation via electron transfer based on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) provides an economical and energy-efficient method for pollution control. In this study, an iron-rich waste, heating pad waste (HPW), was recycled as a raw material, and a strong magnetic catalyst (Fe-HPW) was synthesized at high temperature (900 °C). Results showed that in the constructed Fe-HPW/PMS system, effective roxarsone (ROX) degradation and TOC removal (72.54%) were achieved at a low-dose of oxidant (PMS, 0.05 mM) and catalyst (Fe-HPW, 0.05 g L-1), the ratio of PMS to ROX was only 2.5:1. In addition, the released inorganic arsenic was effectively removed from the solution. The analysis of the experimental results showed that ROX was effectively degraded by forming PMS/catalyst surface complexes (Fe-HPW-PMS*) to mediate electron transfer in the Fe-HPW/PMS system. Besides, this system performed effective ROX degradation over a wide pH range (pH=3-9) and showed high resistance to different water parameters. Overall, this study not only provides a new direction for the recycling application of HPW but also re-emphasizes the neglected nonradical pathway in advanced oxidation processes.

Abstract
Carbon-driven advanced oxidations show great potential in water purification, but regulating structures and properties of carbon-based catalysts to achieve ultrafast Fenton-like reactions remains challenging. Herein, a biomorphic diatomite-based catalyst (BD-C) with Si-O doping was prepared using natural diatomite as silicon source and porous template. The results showed that the metal-free BD-C catalyst exhibited ultrafast oxidation performances (0.95-2.58 min-1) towards a variety of pollutants in PMS-based Fenton-like reaction, with the Fenton-like activity of metal-free catalyst comparable to metal-based catalysts or even single-atom catalysts. Pollutants (e.g., CP, BPA, TC, and PCM) with electron-donating groups exhibited extremely low PMS decomposition with overwhelmed electron transfer process (ETP), while high PMS consumption was induced by the addition of electron-withdrawing pollutants (e.g., MNZ and ATZ), which was dominated by radical oxidation. The BD-C/PMS system also showed a high ability to resist the environmental interference. In-depth theoretical investigations demonstrated that the coordination of Si-O can lower the potential barrier of PMS activation for accelerating the generation of radicals, and also promote the electron transfer from pollutants to the BD-C/PMS complexes. In addition, BD-C was deposited onto a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (PTFEM) with 100% of pollutants removal over 10 h, thereby revealing the promising prospects of utilizing BD-C for practical applications.

Abstract
Persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) have been widely investigated by academia and industry due to their high efficiency and selectivity for the removal of trace organic pollutants from complex water substrates. PS-AOPs have been extensively studied for the degradation of pesticides, drugs, halogen compounds, dyes, and other pollutants. Utilizing bibliometric statistics, this review presents a comprehensive overview of persulfate-based advanced oxidation technology research over the past decade. The number of published articles about persulfate activation has steadily increased during this time, reflecting extensive international collaboration. Furthermore, this review introduces the most widely employed strategies for persulfate activation reported in the past 10 years, including carbon material activation, photocatalysis, transition metal activation, electrochemical activation, ultrasonic activation, thermal activation, and alkali activation. Next, the potential activation mechanisms and influencing factors, such as persulfate dosage during activation, are discussed. Finally, the application of PS-AOPs in wastewater treatment and in situ groundwater treatment is examined. This review summarizes the previously reported experiences of persulfate-based advanced oxidation technology and presents the current application status of PS-AOPs in organic pollution removal, with the aim of avoiding misunderstandings and providing a solid foundation for future research on the removal of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as competitive candidates for Fenton-like oxidation of micro-pollutants in water. However, the impact of metal insertion on the intrinsic catalytic activity of carrier materials has been commonly overlooked, and the environmental risk due to metal leaching still requires attention. In contrast to previous reports, where metal sites were conventionally considered as catalytic centers, our study investigates, for the first time, the crucial catalytic role of the carbon carrier modulated through hetero-single-atom dispersion and the regulation of Fenton-like oxidation pathways. The inherent differences in electronic properties between Fe and Co can effectively trigger long-range electron rearrangement in the sp2-carbon-conjugated structure, creating more electron-rich regions for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) complexation and initiating the electron transfer process (ETP) for pollutant degradation, which imparts the synthesized catalyst (FeCo-NCB) with exceptional catalytic efficiency despite its relatively low metal content. Moreover, the FeCo-NCB/PMS system exhibits enduring decontamination efficiency in complex water matrices, satisfactory catalytic stability, and low metal leaching, signifying promising practical applications. More impressively, the spatial relationship between metal sites and electron density clouds is revealed to determine whether high-valent metal-oxo species (HVMO) are involved during the decomposition of surface complexes. Unlike single-type single-atom dispersion, where metal sites are situated within electron-rich regions, hetero-single-atom dispersion can cause the deviation of electron density clouds from the metal sites, thus hindering the in-situ oxidation of metal within the complexes and minimizing the contribution of HVMO. These findings provide new insights into the development of carbon-based SACs and advance the understanding of nonradical mechanisms underpinning Fenton-like treatments.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is a reactive species for the selective degradation of stubborn organic pollutants. Given its resistance to harsh water environment, the effective and exclusive generation of 1O2 is acknowledged as a key strategy to mitigate water production costs and ensure water supply safety. Herein, we synthesized MnOx intercalated MnFe layered double hydroxides (MF-MnOx) to selectively produce 1O2 through the activation of PMS. The distinctive confined structure endowed MF-MnOx with a special pathway for the PMS activation. The direct oxidation of BPA on the intercalated MnOx induced the charge imbalance in the MnFe-LDH layer, resulting in the selective generation of 1O2. Moreover, acceptable activity deterioration of MF-MnOx was observed in a 10 h continuous degradation test in actual water, substantiating the application potential of MF-MnOx. This work presents a novel catalyst for the selective production of 1O2, and evaluates its prospects in the remediation of micro-polluted water.

Abstract
State-of-the-art Fenton-like reactions are crucial in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for water purification. This review explores the latest advancements in heterogeneous metal-based catalysts within AOPs, covering nanoparticles (NPs), single-atom catalysts (SACs), and ultra-small atom clusters. A distinct connection between the physical properties of these catalysts, such as size, degree of unsaturation, electronic structure, and oxidation state, and their impacts on catalytic behavior and efficacy in Fenton-like reactions. In-depth comparative analysis of metal NPs and SACs is conducted focusing on how particle size variations and metal-support interactions affect oxidation species and pathways. The review highlights the cutting-edge characterization techniques and theoretical calculations, indispensable for deciphering the complex electronic and structural characteristics of active sites in downsized metal particles. Additionally, the review underscores innovative strategies for immobilizing these catalysts onto membrane surfaces, offering a solution to the inherent challenges of powdered catalysts. Recent advances in pilot-scale or engineering applications of Fenton-like-based devices are also summarized for the first time. The paper concludes by charting new research directions, emphasizing advanced catalyst design, precise identification of reactive oxygen species, and in-depth mechanistic studies. These efforts aim to enhance the application potential of nanotechnology-based AOPs in real-world wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Persulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PS-AOPs) have gained significant attention as an effective approach for the elimination of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) in water treatment. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their derivatives are regarded as promising catalysts for activating peroxydisulfate (PDS) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) due to their tunable and diverse structure and composition. By the rational nanoarchitectured design of MOF-derived nanomaterials, the excellent performance and customized functions can be achieved. However, the intrinsic fine powder form and agglomeration ability of MOF-derived nanomaterials have limited their practical engineering application. Recently, a great deal of effort has been put into shaping MOFs into macroscopic objects without sacrificing the performance. This review presents recent advances in the design and synthetic strategies of MOF-derived nano- and macroarchitectures for PS-AOPs to degrade EOCs. Firstly, the strategies of preparing MOF-derived diverse nanoarchitectures including hierarchically porous, hollow, yolk-shell, and multi-shell structures are comprehensively summarized. Subsequently, the approaches of manufacturing MOF-based macroarchitectures are introduced in detail. Moreover, the PS-AOP application and mechanisms of MOF-derived nano- and macromaterials as catalysts to eliminate EOCs are discussed. Finally, the prospects and challenges of MOF-derived materials in PS-AOPs are discussed. This work will hopefully guide the design and development of MOF-derived porous materials in SR-AOPs.

Heteroatom substitution enhances generation and reactivity of surface-activated peroxydisulfate complexes for catalytic fenton-like reactions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 467:133753.

Abstract
Peroxydisulfate (PDS)-based Fenton-like reactions are promising advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to degrade recalcitrant organic water pollutants. Current research predominantly focuses on augmenting the generation of reactive species (e.g., surface-activated PDS complexes (PDS*) to improve treatment efficiency, but overlooks the potential benefits of enhancing the reactivity of these species. Here, we enhanced PDS* generation and reactivity by incorporating Zn into CuO catalyst lattice, which resulted in 99% degradation of 4-chlorophenol within only 10 min. Zn increased PDS* generation by nearly doubling PDS adsorption while maintaining similar PDS to PDS* conversion efficiency, and induced higher PDS* reactivity than the common catalyst CuO, as indicated by a 4.1-fold larger slope between adsorbed PDS and open circuit potential of a catalytic electrode. Cu-O-Zn formation upshifts the d-band center of Cu sites and lowers the energy barrier for PDS adsorption and sulfate desorption, resulting in enhanced PDS* generation and reactivity. Overall, this study informs strategies to enhance PDS* reactivity and design highly active catalysts for efficient AOPs.

Abstract
Regulation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation from radical to non-radical pathways is an emerging focus of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) due to its superiority of anti-interference to complex wastewater. However, the detailed correlation mechanism between the defect structure of the catalyst and the regulation of radicals/non-radicals remains unclear. Herein, natural chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) with different levels of S vacancies created by a simple NaBH4 reduction process was employed to explore the above-mentioned underlying mechanism for constructing high efficiency and low cost of catalyst towards AOPs. With the assistance of simulated solar light, S-deficient chalcopyrite (Sv-NCP) exhibited prominent performance for PMS activation. More interestingly, the different degrees of S vacancies regulated the active species from radicals to non-radical 1O2, thus showing excellent purification of complex wastewater as well as actual pharmaceutical wastewater. Mechanistic analysis reveals that PMS tends to loss electrons on S vacancies sites and is dissociated into 1O2 rather than ·OH/SO4·- due to electron deficiency. Meanwhile, the improved adsorption performance makes the degradation sites of pollutants change from solution to surface. Most importantly, Sv-NCP presented excellent detoxication for antibiotic wastewater due to the high selectivity of 1O2. This work provides novel insights into the regulation of active species in Fenton-like reactions via defect engineering for high efficiency of pollutant degradation.

Abstract
Immobilizing Fe-based nanoparticles on electron-rich biochar has becoming an attractive heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts (Fe/BC) for wastewater decontamination. However, the insufficient graphitization of biochar causing low electron transfer and by slow H2O2 activation limited its application. Herein, we firstly constructed FeS/biochar composite through all-solid molten salt method (Fe/MSBCs), which can provide strong polarization force and liquid reaction environment to improve carbonization. As expected, the obtained Fe/MSBCs exhibits high surface area and fast interfacial electron transfer between FeS and biochar. More importantly, the partially oxidized FeS (001) facet facilitate H2O2 adsorption and thermodynamically easily decomposition into •OH. Such a synergistic effect endowed them excellent photo-Fenton degradation performance for methyl orange (MO) with large kinetic rate constants (0.079 min-1) and high H2O2 utilization efficiency (95.9%). This study first demonstrated the critical regulatory role of molten salt method in iron-based biochar composites, which provide an alternative for H2O2 activator in water pollutant control.

Abstract
The ongoing pattern shift in water treatment from pollution control to energy recovery challenges the energy-intensive chemical oxidation processes that have been developed for over a century. Redirecting the pathways of carbon evolution from molecular fragmentation to polymerization is critical for energy harvesting during chemical oxidation, yet the regulation means remain to be exploited. Herein, by confining the widely-studied oxidation system-Mn3O4 catalytic activation of peroxymonosulfate-inside amorphous carbon nanotubes (ACNTs), we demonstrate that the pathways of contaminant conversion can be readily modulated by spatial nanoconfinement. Reducing the pore size of ACNTs from 120 to 20 nm monotonously improves the pathway selectivity toward oligomers, with the yield one order of magnitude higher under 20-nm nanoconfinement than in bulk. The interactions of Mn3O4 with ACNTs, reactant enrichment, and pH lowering under nanoconfinement are evidenced to collectively account for the enhanced selectivity toward polymerization. This work provides an adaptive paradigm for carbon redirection in a variety of catalytic oxidation processes toward energy harvesting and sustainable water purification.

Abstract
This perspective presents the latest advancements in selective polymerization pathways in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for removal of featured organic pollutants in wastewater. In radical-based homogeneous reactions, SO4• --based systems exhibit superior oxidative activity toward aromatics with electron-donating substituents via single electron transfer and radical adduct formation (RAF). The produced organic radical cations subsequently undergo coupling and polymerization reactions to produce polymers. For •OH-based oxidation, metal ions facilitate the production of monomer radicals via RAF. Additionally, heterogeneous catalysts can mediate both coupling and polymerization reactions via persulfate activation without generating inorganic radicals. Metal-based catalysts will mediate a direct oxidation pathway toward polymerization. In contrast, carbon-based catalysts will induce coupling reactions to produce low-molecular-weight oligomers (≤4 units) via an electron transfer process. In comparison to mineralization, polymerization pathways remarkably reduce peroxide usage, quickly separate pollutants from the aqueous phase, and generate polymeric byproducts. Thus, AOP-driven polymerization systems hold significant promise in reducing carbon emission and realizing carbon recycling in water treatment processes.

Abstract
The preparation of waste plastics-derived catalysts is an effective strategy for the waste reclamation. However, plastic-derived material is unsuitable for wastewater purification due to its small specific surface area (SSA) and inadequate active sites (such as N/O sites). Herein, we synthesized graphene-like nanosheets using g-C3N4 as the self-sacrificing soft template and plastic as the carbon precursor. Consequently, this strategy greatly promoted the efficiencies of the emerging organic pollutants degradation with the SSA and N content of the plastic-derived biochar increasing up to 1043.4 m2/g and 17.53 at.%, respectively. In detail, 100 % sulfadiazine (SD) removal could be achieved in 180 s via the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and the catalytic activity is far higher than previous research. Mechanism experiments corroborated that such a striking performance was attributed to the generation of SO4•-, O2•- and 1O2. Meanwhile, kinds of plastic precursors, even medical waste (i.e., masks, gauze, operating caps and degreasing cotton) were also applicable. And the practical application of the plastic-derived catalyst was further demonstrated by treating pollutants in a continuous flow mode with in situ fabricated membrane. This work provides valuable insights into waste plastics processing and water pollutants removal.

Abstract
Industrial solid waste management and recycling are important to environmental sustainability. In this study, cobalt (Co) nanoparticles encapsulated in paint sludge-derived activated carbon (AC) were fabricated. The Co-AC possessed high conductivity, magnetic properties and abundant metal oxide impurities (TiAlSiOx), which was applied as multifunctional catalyst for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Compared to pure AC, the Co-AC exhibited significant enhanced performance for degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) via PMS activation. Mechanism studies by in situ Raman spectroscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, electrochemical analysis and electron paramagnetic resonance suggested that surface-bonded PMS (PMS*) and singlet oxygen (1O2) are the dominant reactive species for TCH oxidation. The non-radical species can efficiently oxidize electron-rich pollutants with high efficiency, which minimized the consumption of PMS and the catalyst. The removal percentages of TCH reached 97 % within 5 min and ∼ 99 % within 15 min in the Co-AC/PMS system. The Co active sites facilitated PMS adsorption to form the PMS* and the TiAlSiOx impurities provided abundant oxygen vacancy for generation of the 1O2. In addition, the Co-AC/PMS system achieved high efficiency and stability for oxidation of the target pollutants over a long-term continuous operation. This work not only offers a cost-effective approach for recycling industrial waste but also provides new insights into the application of waste-derived catalyst for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Polymerization-driven removal of pollutants in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) offers a sustainable way for the simultaneous achievement of contamination abatement and resource recovery, supporting a low-carbon water purification approach. However, regulating such a process remains a great challenge due to the insufficient microscopic understanding of electronic structure-dependent reaction mechanisms. Herein, this work probes the origin of catalytic pollutant polymerization using a series of transition metal (Cu, Ni, Co, and Fe) single-atom catalysts and identifies the d-band center of active site as the key driver for polymerization transfer of pollutants. The high-valent metal-oxo species, produced via peroxymonosulfate activation, are found to trigger the pollutant removal via polymerization transfer. Phenoxyl radicals, identified by the innovative spin-trapping and quenching approaches, act as the key intermediate in the polymerization reactions. More importantly, the oxidation capacity of high-valent metal-oxo species can be facilely tuned by regulating their binding strength for peroxymonosulfate through d-band center modulation. A 100% polymerization transfer ratio is achieved by lowering the d-band center. This work presents a paradigm to dynamically modulate the electronic structure of high-valent metal-oxo species and optimize pollutant removal from wastewater via polymerization.

Origins of Selective Oxidation in Carbon-Based Nonradical Oxidation Processes toward Organic Pollutants: Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSARs).

Abstract
Metal-free carbon material-mediated nonradical oxidation processes (C-NOPs) have emerged as a research hotspot due to their excellent performance in selectively eliminating organic pollutants in aqueous environments. However, the selective oxidation mechanisms of C-NOPs remain obscure due to the diversity of organic pollutants and nonradical active species. Herein, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models were employed to unveil the origins of C-NOP selectivity toward organic pollutants in different oxidant systems. QSAR analysis based on adsorption and oxidation descriptors revealed that C-NOP selectivity depends on the oxidation potentials of organic pollutants rather than on adsorption interactions. However, the dominance of electronic effects in selective oxidation decreases with increasing structural complexity of organic pollutants. Moreover, the oxidation threshold solely depends on the inherent electronic nature of organic pollutants and not on the reactivity of nonradical active species. Notably, the accuracy of substituent descriptors (Hammett constants) and theoretical descriptors (e.g., highest occupied molecular orbital energy, ionization potential, and single-electron oxidation potential) is significantly influenced by the complexity and molecular state of organic pollutants. Overall, the study findings reveal the origins of organic pollutant-oriented selective oxidation and provide insight into the application of descriptors in QSAR analysis.

Iron containing sludge-derived carbon towards efficient peroxymonosulfate activation: Active site synergy, performance and alternation mechanism. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 915:170183. [PMID: 38246367 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Converting industrial sludge into catalytic materials for water purification is a promising approach to simultaneously realize effective disposal of sludge and resource of water. However, manipulating the high efficiency remains a huge challenge due to the difficulty in the active sites control of the sludge. Herein, we proposed a constitutive modulation strategy by the combination of hydrothermal and pyrolysis (HTP) for the fabrication of defects-assistant Fe containing sludge-derived carbon catalysts on upgrading performance in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for pollutant degradation. Adjustable defects on dyeing sludge-derived carbon catalysts (DSCC) were achieved by introducing oxygen or nitrogen functional precursors (hydroquinone or p-phenylenediamine) during hydrothermal processes and by further pyrolysis, where O was detrimental while N was beneficial to defect generation. Compared to the DSCC with less defects (DHSC-O), the defect-rich sample (DHSC-2N) exhibited superior catalytic performance of PMS activation for bisphenol A (BPA) elimination (k = 0.45 min-1, 2.52 times of DHSC-O), as well as 81.4% total organic carbon (TOC) removal. Meanwhile, the degradation capacity was verified in wide pH range (2.1-8.1) and various aqueous matrices, reflecting the excellent adaptability and anti-interference performance. Furthermore, the continuous-flow experiments on industrial wastewater showed synchronous BPA and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, implying great potential for practical application. Solid electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and 57Fe Mösssbauer spectra analysis indicated that the defects acted as secondary active sites for Fe sites, which were beneficial to accelerating the electron transfer process. The only Fe active sites preferred the radical pathway. The controllable reaction tendency provides possibilities for the on-demand design of sludge-based catalysts to meet the requirements of practical wastewater treatment under Fenton-like reaction.

Abstract
With maximum utilization of active metal sites, more and more researchers have reported using single atom catalysts (SACs) to activate persulfate (PS) for organic pollutants removal. In SACs, single metal atoms (Fe, Co, Cu, Mn, etc.) and different substrates (porous carbon, biochar, graphene oxide, carbon nitride, MOF, MoS2 , and others) are the basic structural. Metal single atoms, substances, and connected chemical bonds all have a great influence on the electronic structures that directly affect the activation process of PS and degradation efficiency to organic pollutants. However, there are few relevant reviews about the interaction between metal single atoms and substances during PS activation process. In this review, the SACs with different metal species and substrates are summarized to investigate the metal-support interaction and evaluate their effects on PS oxidation reaction process. Furthermore, how metal atoms and substrates affect the reactive species and degradation pathways are also discussed. Finally, the challenges and prospects of SACs in PS-AOPs are proposed.

Abstract
The release of organic contaminants has grown to be a major environmental concern and a threat to the ecology of water bodies. Persulfate-based Advanced Oxidation Technology (PAOT) is effective at eliminating hazardous pollutants and has an extensive spectrum of applications. Iron-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-MOFs) and their derivatives have exhibited great advantages in activating persulfate for wastewater treatment. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of recent research progress on the significant potential of Fe-MOFs for removing antibiotics, organic dyes, phenols, and other contaminants from aqueous environments. Firstly, multiple approaches for preparing Fe-MOFs, including the MIL and ZIF series were introduced. Subsequently, removal performance of pollutants such as antibiotics of sulfonamides and tetracyclines (TC), organic dyes of rhodamine B (RhB) and acid orange 7 (AO7), phenols of phenol and bisphenol A (BPA) by various Fe-MOFs was compared. Finally, different degradation mechanisms, encompassing free radical degradation pathways and non-free radical degradation pathways were elucidated. This review explores the synthesis methods of Fe-MOFs and their application in removing organic pollutants from water bodies, providing insights for further refining the preparation of Fe-MOFs.

Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) catalytic activation is effective to eliminate organic pollutants from water, thus the development of low-cost and efficient catalysts is significant in applications. The resource conversion of plastic wastes (PWs) into carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a promising candidate for PMS-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), and also a sustainable strategy to realize plastic management and reutilization. Herein, cost-effective PWs-derived N-doped CNTs (N-pCNTs) were synthesized, which displayed efficient activity for PMS activation through an electron transfer pathway (ETP) for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation in high salinity water. The pyrrolic N induced the positively charged surface of N-pCNTs, favoring the electrostatic adsorption of PMS and subsequent generation of active PMS* . A galvanic oxidation process was developed to prove the electron-shuttle dominated ETP for SMX oxidation. Combined with theoretical calculations, the efficiency of ETP was determined by the potential difference between HOMO of SMX and LUMO of N-pCNTs. Such oxidation produced low-toxicity intermediates and resulted in selective degradation of specific sulfonamide antibiotics. This work reveals the feasibility of low-cost N-pCNTs catalysts from PWs serving as an appealing candidate for PMS-AOPs in water remediation, providing a new solution to alleviate environmental issues caused by PWs and also advances the understanding of ETP during PMS activation.

Abstract
Dye-containing wastewater treatment has been a major long-term global challenge. For this purpose, a novel bio-based microspheres (CS-FC) with high specific surface area (63.24 m2·g-1) and nano-channels (17.95 nm) was prepared using chitosan as the framework and ferrocene as a crosslinking active group. CS-FC not only has the ability to rapidly enrich methyl orange (MO) through hydrogen-bonding and electrostatic attraction, but also almost completely degrades it in the presence of H2O2/K2S2O8 through a synergistic radical/non-radical mechanism under the activating effect of ferrocene. Without H2O2/K2S2O8, the maximum MO adsorption capacity of CS-FC is in the range 871-1050 mg·g-1, and conforms to a Langmuir isothermal model with pseudo-second-order kinetics. In the presence of H2O2/K2S2O8, the removal of MO dramatically increased from 32 % to nearly 100 % after incubation for 60 min, due to the simultaneous formation of highly reactive 1O2 and ·OH. The significant contribution from 1O2 endowed CS-FC/H2O2/K2S2O8 with high universality for degrading various organic pollutants (including azo dyes and antibiotics), a wide pH window (2-8), and low sensitivity to co-existing ions. Such cost-effective, recyclable porous bio-based microspheres are suitable for heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysis in organic wastewater treatment that rely on synergistic radical/non-radical reaction pathways.

Abstract
The photo-Fenton process provides a sustainable and cost-effective strategy for removing refractory organic contaminants in wastewater. Herein, a high-efficient Fe-doped g-C3N4 photocatalyst (Fe@CN10) with a unique 3D porous mesh structure was prepared by one-pot thermal polymerization for ultrafast degradation of azo dyes, antibiotics, and phenolic acids in heterogeneous photo-Fenton systems under visible light irradiation. Fe@CN10 exhibited a synergy between adsorption-degradation processes due to the co-existence of Fe3C and Fe3N active sites. Specifically, Fe3C acted as an adsorption site for pollutant and H2O2 molecules, while Fe3N acted as a photocatalytic active site for the high-efficient degradation of MO. Resultingly, Fe@CN10 showed a photocatalytic degradation rate of MO up to 140.32 mg/L min-1. The dominant ROS contributed to the removal of MO in the photo-Fenton pathway was hydroxyl radical (•OH). Surprisingly, as the key reactive species, singlet oxygen (1O2) generated from superoxide radical (•O2-) also efficiently attacked MO in a photo-self-Fenton pathway. Additionally, sponge/Fe@CN10 was prepared and filled in the continuous flow reactors for nearly 100% degradation of MO over 150 h when treating artificial organic wastewater. This work provided a facile route to prepare highly-active Fe-doped photocatalysts and develop a green photocatalytic system for wastewater treatment in the future.

Abstract
Particulate organic matter (POM), as an important component of organic matter, can act as a redox mediator and thus intervene in the environmental behavior of microplastics (MPs). However, quantitative information on the role of POM in the photoaging of MPs under ultraviolet (UV) light is still lacking. To raise the knowledge gap, through environmental simulation experiments and qualitative/quantitative experiments of active substances, we found that POM from peat soil has stronger oxidation capacity than POM from sediment, and the involvement of POM at high water content makes the aging of MPs more obvious. This is because the persistent radicals and electron-absorbing groups on the surface of POM indirectly generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) by promoting electron transfer, and the dissolved organic matter (DOM) released from POM under UV light (POM-DOM) is further excited to generate triplet-state photochemistry of DOM (3DOM*) to promote the aging of MPs. Theoretical calculations revealed that the benzene ring, mainly C = C, and C = O in the main chain in the plastic macromolecule structure are more susceptible to ROS attack, and the differences in the vulnerable sites contained in different plastic structures as well as the differences in the energy band gaps lead to differences in their aging processes. This study firstly elucidates the key role and intrinsic mechanism of POM in the photoaging of MPs, providing a theoretical basis for a comprehensive assessment of the effect of POM on MPs in the environment.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 353:120181. [PMID: 38271882 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120181] [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: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
The substantial development of the dyeing and printing industry has resulted in an increased discharge of dye wastewater containing a large amount of recalcitrant organic pollutants. Furthermore, the landfill disposal of red mud has led to significant environmental pollution such as soil erosion and groundwater contamination. Therefore, this study aimed to promote the resource utilization of red mud by preparing advanced oxidation catalyst, resulting in effective treatment of dye wastewater, and the primary reaction mechanism was revealed. In this study, biochar-loading red mud (RBC) was applied to activate persulfate (PDS) for the degradation of acid orange 7 (AO7) with the initial concentration of 50 mg L-1. The maximum removal rate of 2.45 mg L·min-1 was achieved in 20 min and corresponding with the removal ratio of 98.0% under the PDS concentration of 20 mM (4.76 g L-1). Eventually, the removal ratio of 99.2% was attained within 60 min. The high catalytic efficiency was probably ascribed to the singlet oxygen (1O2) dominant non-radical pathway and RBC-mediated electron transfer mechanism. It was found that Fe(II), specific surface areas and functional groups on the catalyst were highly related to its catalytic efficiency and passivation. RBC had better reusability due to the loading of biochar and the reduction of zero-valent iron. The non-radical pathway mechanism and electron transfer mechanism were proposed for the activation of PDS, and non-radical pathway played a dominant role. Besides, the degradation pathways and toxicity assessment were analyzed. This research proposed a new electron transfer mechanism for activation process of PDS, which can provide a theoretical support for further studies. Overall, this study demonstrated that catalysts synthesized from red mud and biomass exhibit highly efficient activation in degrading the model pollutant AO7 through PDS activation. The catalyst displayed promising reusability and practical applicability, offering potential advancements in both the resource utilization and reduction of red mud.

Abstract
Humic acid (HA) ubiquitously existing in aquatic environments has been reported to significantly impact permanganate (KMnO4) decontamination processes. However, the underlying mechanism of the KMnO4/HA system remained elusive. In this study, an enhancing effect of HA on the KMnO4 oxidation of diclofenac (DCF) was observed over a wide solution pH range of 5-9. Surprisingly, the mechanism of HA-induced enhancement varied with solution pH. Quenching and chemical probing experiments revealed that manganese intermediates (Mn(III)-HA and MnO2) were responsible for the enhancement under acidic conditions but not under neutral and alkaline conditions. By combining KMnO4 decomposition, galvanic oxidation process experiments, electrochemical tests, and FTIR and XPS analysis, it was interestingly found that HA could effectively mediate the electron transfer from DCF to KMnO4 in neutral and alkaline solutions, which was reported for the first time. The formation of an organic-catalyst complex (i.e., HA-DCF) with lower reduction potential than the parent DCF was proposed to be responsible for the accelerated electron transfer from DCF to KMnO4. This electron transfer likely occurred within the complex molecule formed through the interaction between HA-DCF and KMnO4 (i.e., HA-DCF-KMnO4). These results will help us gain a more comprehensive understanding of the role of HA in the KMnO4 oxidation processes.

Abstract
The application of microwave/peroxymonosulfate (MW/PMS) in soil remediation has been limited by some shortages including low utilization efficiency of oxidants, low MW absorption capacity of soil particles and incomplete degradation of intermediate. In this study, heating pad waste (HPW) was added in the MW/PMS system to increase the ability of absorbing MW and degradation efficiency of toxic intermediate. A two-stage method for degradation of chlorpyrifos (CPF) and its intermediate 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) by MW/PMS assisted with HPW was proposed. In the first stage, more than 90% of CPF was degraded within 15 min before the addition of HPW, and most of the CPF was converted into TCP through direct or indirect pathways under the action of 1O2. In the second stage, more than 70% of the generated TCP was rapidly degraded through SO4•- oxidation and electron transfer. The TCP was further degraded with the assistance of HPW through methylation, hydroxylation and dechlorination etc., and the toxicity of degradation products was decreased significantly. pH and soil organic matter had little influences on CPF and TCP degradation. Therefore, a new strategy for remediation of CPF contaminated-soil was provided based on MW/PMS technology and the concept of "treating waste with waste".

Abstract
Compared to radical oxidative pathway, recent research revealed that non-radical oxidative pathway has higher selectivity, higher adaptability and lower oxidant requirement. In this work, we have designed and synthesized Cu2O/Cu nanowires (CuNWs), by pyrolysis of copper chloride and urea, to selectively generate high-valent copper (CuIII) upon H2O2 activation for the efficient treatment of actual glyphosate wastewater. The detailed characterizations confirmed that CuNWs nanocomposite was comprised of Cu0 and Cu2O, which possessed a nanowire-shaped structure. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis, in situ Raman spectra, chronoamperometry and liner sweep voltammetry (LSV) verified CuIII, which mainly contributed to glyphosate degradation, was selectively generated from CuNWs/H2O2 system. In particular, CuI is mainly oxidized by H2O2 into CuIIIvia dual-electron transfer, rather than simultaneously releasing OH• via single electron transfer. More importantly, CuNWs/H2O2 system exhibited the excellent potential in the efficient treatment of actual glyphosate wastewater, with 96.6% degradation efficiency and chemical oxygen demand (COD) dropped by 30%. This novel knowledge gained in the work helps to apply CuNWs into heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction for environmental remediation and gives new insights into non-radical pathway in H2O2 activation.

Abstract
The efficient removal of emerging pollutant from water is the ultimate frontiers of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), yet it is challenging to obtain higher catalytic activity and oxidation rate. Herein, a sustainable solution was proposed by optimizing the curvature of confined structure to modulate the electronic state of the active sites in nanochannels for improving the catalytic activity. In addition, the confined effect can enhance the oxidation rate by shorting the mass transfer of active species and pollutants. A void-nanoconfined nanoreactor was prepared by loading Fe2O3 into the nanochannels (<5 nm) of the hollow carbon sphere. An enhancement of 3 orders of magnitude was obtained in the degradation rate constant of void-nanoconfined catalytic system toward sulfamethoxazole (SMX) (6.25 min-1) compared with the non-confined system. The kinetics enhancement was attributed to the larger electron potential difference between the outer and inner nanochannel caused by the curvature increase of carbon sphere, accelerating the electron transfer, so that the energy barrier of SMX degradation reaction was reduced by 31 kcal/mol with the assistance of confinement energy. Importantly, the NC-IN/PDS system exhibited outstanding removal efficiency for the actual river water using a continuous flow reactor. This work provides a new insight into designing an efficient and stable catalytic nanoreactor, enriching the domain of advanced wastewater treatment strategies.

Abstract
Fenton reaction has been widespread application in water purification due to the excellent oxidation performances. However, the poor cycle efficiency of Fe(III)/Fe(II) is one of the biggest bottlenecks. In this study, graphite (GP) was used as a green carbon catalyst to accelerate Fenton-like (H2O2/Fe3+ and persulfate/Fe3+) reactions by promoting ferric ion reduction and intensifying diverse peroxide activation pathways. Significantly, the carboxyl group on GP anchors iron ions to form GP-COOFe(III) which promote persulfate adsorption to form surface complexes and induce an electron transfer pathway (ETP). While the electron-rich hydroxyl and carbonyl groups will combine to from GP-COFe(II), a reductive intermediate to activate peroxide to generate free radicals (from H2O2 and PDS) or high-value iron [Fe(IV)] (from PMS). Consequently, different pathways lead to distinct degree of oxidation: i) radicals in H2O2/Fe3+/GP prefer to mineralize bisphenol A (BPA) with no selectivity; ii) Fe(IV) in PMS/Fe3+/GP partially oxidizes BPA but cannot open the aromatic ring; iii) ETP in PMS/ or PDS/Fe3+/GP drives coupling reactions to form polymeric products covered on catalyst surface. Thus, rational engineering surface functionality of graphite and selecting proper peroxides can realize on-demand selectivity and oxidation capacity in Fenton-like systems.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped carbon matrix single-atom catalysts (SACs) for the efficient removal of organic pollutants have attracted widespread attention. However, the ligand structure and the origin of the high activity between nitrogen species and single-atoms remain elusive. Herein, nitrogen-doped carbon matrix iron single-atom catalysts (Fe/NC-SACs) that exhibit high catalytic reactivity (98.2% SMX degradation in 5 min), broad pH resistance (pH 3.0-11.1), high stability, and sustainable water treatment capacity are reported. High-valent iron (Fe IV=O) and singlet oxygen (1O2) were the reactive oxygen species observed. The electrochemical results demonstrated the generation of catalyst-PMS complexes. The DFT calculations revealed that Fe-pyrrolic N4 was the best ligand for PMS, exhibiting the highest adsorption energy, bond length variation and electron transfer capacity. The central Fe single atom and the carbon electrons adjacent to the pyrrolic N were the reactive sites of the PMS. The main source of 1O2 was the oxidation of PMS. This work provides guidance for the discovery of high-performance catalysts and provides a single-atom catalyst that can be used for practical environmental purification.

Abstract
Naturally occurring iron (Fe) minerals have been proved to activate persulfate (PS) to generate reactive species, but the role of soil-inherent Fe minerals in activating PS as well as the underlying mechanisms remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation by PS in two Fe-rich soils and one Fe-poor soil. Unlike with the radical-dominant oxidation processes in Fe-poor soil, PS was effectively activated through nonradical pathways (i.e., surface electron-transfer) in Fe-rich soils, accounting for 68.4%-85.5% of SMX degradation. The nonradical mechanism was evidenced by multiple methods, including electrochemical, in situ Raman, and competition kinetics tests. Inherent Fe-based minerals, especially those containing Fe(II) were the crucial activators of PS in Fe-rich soils. Compared to Fe(III) minerals, Fe(II) minerals (e.g., ilmenite) were more liable to form Fe(II) mineral-PS* complexes to initiate the nonradical pathways, oxidizing adjacent SMX via electron transfer. Furthermore, mineral structural Fe(II) was the dominant component to coordinate such a direct oxidation process. After PS oxidation, low-crystalline Fe minerals in soils were transformed into high-crystalline Fe phases. Collectively, our study shows that soil-inherent Fe minerals can effectively activate PS in Fe-rich soils, so the addition of exogenous iron might not be required for PS-based in situ chemical oxidation. Outcomes also provide new insights into the activation mechanisms when persulfate is used for the remediation of contaminated soils.

Enhanced peroxymonosulfate activation via heteroatomic doping defects of pyridinic and pyrrolic N in 2D N‑doped carbon nanosheets for BPA degradation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 461:132626.

Abstract
Understanding the role of intrinsic defects and nonmetallic heteroatom doping defects in activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and subsequently degrading endocrine-disrupting compounds is crucial for designing more efficient carbon catalysts. Therefore, we synthesized N-rich carbon nanosheets (NCs) through pyrolysis of a glutamic acid and melamine mixture and utilized them to activate PMS for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation. Different weight ratios of the above mixtures were allowed for manipulating NCs' defect level and N configuration. The reaction rate constant (k) was significantly positively correlated with the pyridinic and pyrrolic N content, and negatively and weakly positively correlated with graphite N and intrinsic defects, respectively. These findings suggest pyridinic and pyrrolic N, rather than graphitic N and intrinsic defects, enhance PMS activation to generate reactive oxygen species (specifically O•-2 and 1O2) and oxidize BPA. The NC-activated PMS system with the highest N content (17.9 atom%) demonstrated a remarkably high k (0.127 min-1) using minimal concentrations of PMS (0.4 mM) and NC (0.15 g/L), highlighting the system's efficiency. Excess halide anions led to significantly increased k with only a limited formation of trichloromethane (disinfection byproducts) in presence of 100 mM Cl-. This study offers novel perspectives on identifying catalytic sites within N-doped carbonaceous materials.

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2) is molecular oxygen in the excited state with high energy and electrophilic properties. It is widely found in nature, and its important role is gradually extending from chemical syntheses and medical techniques to environmental remediation. However, there exist ambiguities and controversies regarding detection methods, generation pathways, and reaction mechanisms which have hindered the understanding and applications of 1O2. For example, the inaccurate detection of 1O2 has led to an overestimation of its role in pollutant degradation. The difficulty in detecting multiple intermediate species obscures the mechanism of 1O2 production. The applications of 1O2 in environmental remediation have also not been comprehensively commented on. To fill these knowledge gaps, this paper systematically discussed the properties and generation of 1O2, reviewed the state-of-the-art detection methods for 1O2 and long-standing controversies in the catalytic systems. Future opportunities and challenges were also discussed regarding the applications of 1O2 in the degradation of pollutants dissolved in water and volatilized in the atmosphere, the disinfection of drinking water, the gas/solid sterilization, and the self-cleaning of filter membranes. This review is expected to provide a better understanding of 1O2-based advanced oxidation processes and practical applications in the environmental protection of 1O2.

Abstract
Co-based catalysts play a crucial role in the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for degradation contaminants. However, the practical application of such catalysts is hindered by challenges like the self-aggregation of Co nanoparticles and leaching of Co2+. In this study, the Co-based catalyst Co-N/C@CL was synthesized from carboxymethylated lignin obtained by grafting abundant carboxymethyl groups into alkali lignin, in which the presence of these carboxymethyl groups enhanced its water solubility and allowed the formation of stable macromolecular complexes with Co2+. This catalyst exhibited a high specific surface area (521.8 m2·g-1) and a uniform distribution of Co nanoparticles. Consequently, the Co-N/C@CL/PMS system could completely remove 20 ppm tetracycline (TC) in 2 min at a rate of 2.404 min-1. Experimental results and DFT calculations revealed that the synergistic effect of lignin carbon and Co NPs accelerated the cleavage and electron transfer of OO bonds, thus promoting the formation of 1O2, OH and SO4-, with 1O2 emerging as the predominant contributor. Moreover, Co-N/C@CL displayed excellent cycling stability and low Co2+ leaching. This work not only provides a feasible strategy for the preparation of highly active and stable Co-based carbon materials but also offers a promising catalyst for the efficient degradation of TC.

Abstract
Accurately controlling catalytic activity and mechanism as well as identifying structure-activity-selectivity correlations in Fenton-like chemistry is essential for designing high-performance catalysts for sustainable water decontamination. Herein, active center size-dependent catalysts with single cobalt atoms (CoSA), atomic clusters (CoAC), and nanoparticles (CoNP) were fabricated to realize the changeover of catalytic activity and mechanism in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based Fenton-like chemistry. Catalytic activity and durability vary with the change in metal active center sizes. Besides, reducing the metal size from nanoparticles to single atoms significantly modulates contributions of radical and nonradical mechanisms, thus achieving selective/nonselective degradation. Density functional theory calculations reveal evolutions in catalytic mechanisms of size-dependent catalytic systems over different Gibbs free energies for reactive oxygen species generation. Single-atom site contact with PMS is preferred to induce nonradical mechanisms, while PMS dissociates and generates radicals on clusters and nanoparticles. Differences originating from reaction mechanisms endow developed systems with size-dependent selectivity and mineralization for treating actual hospital wastewater in column reactors. This work brings an in-depth understanding of metal size effects in Fenton-like chemistry and guides the design of intelligent catalysts to fulfill the demand of specific scenes for water purification.

Abstract
The utilization of photo-assisted persulfate activation for the removal of organic contaminants in water has garnered significant research interest in recent times. However, there remains a lack of clarity regarding specific contributions of light irradiation and catalyst structure in this process. Herein, a photo-assisted peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation system is designed for the highly efficient degradation of organic contaminants on oxygen vacancy-enriched nolanites (Vo-FVO). Results suggest that the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) in this system is a nonradical-dominated process via an electron transfer regime, in which VO improves the local electron density and thus facilitates the electron shuttling between BPA and PMS. During BPA degradation, PMS adsorbed at the surface of FVO-180 withdraws electrons near VO and forms FVO-PMS* complexes. Upon light irradiation, photoelectrons effectively restore the electron density around VO, thereby enabling a sustainable electron transfer for the highly efficient degradation of BPA. Overall, this work provides new insights into the mechanism of persulfate activation based on defects engineering in nolanite minerals.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based materials have been of great public interest in persulfate (PS)-based catalytic oxidation for wastewater purification, because of their excellent performance and selectiveness in organic contaminants (OCs) removal in complex water environments. The formation, fountainhead and reaction mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROSs) in PS-based catalytic oxidation are crucial for understanding the principles of PS activation and the degradation mechanism of OCs. In the paper, we presented the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of MOFs-based materials for PS activation, including the relationship of structure and removal efficiency, active sites and ROSs as well as OCs. In various MOFs-based materials, there are many factors will affect their performances. We discussed how various surface modification projects affected the characteristics of MOFs-based materials used in PS activation. Moreover, we revealed the process of ROSs generation by active sites and the oxidation of OCs by ROSs from the micro level. At the end of this review, we putted forward an outlook on the development trends and faced challenges of MOFs for PS-based catalytic oxidation. Generally, this review aims to clarify the formation mechanisms of ROSs via the active sites on the MOFs and the reaction mechanism between ROSs and OCs, which is helpful for reader to better understand the QSAR in various MOFs/PS systems.

Abstract
Sulfamethoxazole (SMX), a widely used antibiotic, has triggered increasing attention due to its extensive detection in wastewater effluent, causing serious ecological threats. Herein, a carbon-based heterogeneous catalyst was developed by the O2 plasma-etching process, regulating oxygen-containing functional groups (OFGs) and defects of carbon nanotubes (O-CNT) to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for highly efficient SMX abatement. Through adjusting the etching time, the desired active sites (i.e., C=O and defects) could be rationally created. Experiments collectively suggested that the degradation of SMX was owing to the contribution of synergism by radical (•OH (17.3%) and SO4•- (39.3%)) and non-radical pathways (1O2, 43.4%), which originated from PMS catalyzed by C=O and defects. In addition, the possible degradation products and transformation pathways of SMX in the system were inferred by combining the Fukui function calculations and the LC-MS/MS analysis. And the possible degradation pathway was effective in reducing the environmental toxicity of SMX, as evidenced by the T.E.S.T. software and the micronucleus experiment on Vicia faba root tip. Also, the catalytic system exhibited excellent performance for different antibiotics removal, such as amoxicillin (AMX), carbamazepine (CBZ) and isopropylphenazone (PRP). This study is expected to provide an alternative strategy for antibiotics removal in water decontamination and detoxification.
