State-of-art advances on removal, degradation and electrochemical monitoring of 4-aminophenol pollutants in real samples: A review. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 222:115338. [PMID: 36702186 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 75] [Impact Index Per Article: 75.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
p_Aminophenol, namely 4-aminophenol (4-AP), is an aromatic compound including hydroxyl and amino groups contiguous together on the benzene ring, which are suitable chemically reactive, amphoteric, and alleviating agents in nature. Amino phenols are appropriate precursors for synthesizing oxazoles and oxazines. However, since the toxicity of aniline and phenol can harm human and herbal organs, it is essential to improve a reliable technique for the determination of even a trace amount of amino phenols, as well as elimination or (bio)degradation/photodegradation of it to protect both the environment and people's health. For this purpose, various analytical methods have been suggested up till now, including spectrophotometry, liquid chromatography, spectrofluorometric and capillary electrophoresis, etc. However, some drawbacks such as the requirement of complex instruments, high costs, not being portable, slow response time, low sensitivity, etc. prevent them to be employed in a wide range and swift in-situ applications. In this regard, besides the efforts such as (bio)degradation/photodegradation or removal of 4-AP pollutants from real samples, electroanalytical techniques have become a promising alternative for monitoring them with high sensitivity. In this review, it was aimed to emphasize and summarize the recent advances, challenges, and opportunities for removal, degradation, and electrochemical sensing 4-AP in real samples. Electroanalytical monitoring of amino phenols was reviewed in detail and explored the various types of electrochemical sensors applied for detecting and monitoring in real samples. Furthermore, the various technique of removal and degradation of 4-AP in industrial and urban wastes were also deliberated. Moreover, deep criticism of multifunctional nanomaterials to be utilized as a catalyst, adsorbent/biosorbent, and electroactive material for the fabrication of electrochemical sensors was covered along with their unique properties. Future perspectives and conclusions were also criticized to pave the way for further studies in the field of application of up-and-coming nanostructures in environmental applications.

Abstract
Nitrophenols (NPs) and related derivatives are industrially important chemicals, used notably to synthesize pharmaceuticals, insecticides, herbicides, and pesticides. However, NPs and their metabolites are highly toxic and mutagenic. They pose a serious threat to human health and ecosystem. Current work was undertaken to develop a suitable visible-light active catalyst for the sustainable and efficient mineralization of NPs in an aqueous environment. Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCs)-based nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide and carbonaceous material (N-TiO2/C) was synthesized by pyrolysis and sol-gel methods using NCs, polydopamine, and TiO2. The synthesized N-TiO2/C was characterized using different analytical techniques. Photocatalytic degradation of NPs under visible light indicated that acidic pH (3) was most suitable for the optimal degradation. 4-NP degradation followed both pseudo-first-order (R 2 = 0.9985) and Langmuir-Hinshelwood adsorption kinetic models (adsorption constant, K LH = 1.13 L mg-1). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and ion chromatography analysis confirmed the total mineralization of 4-NP into smaller molecular fragments such as acids, alcohols, and nitrates. The total organic carbon showed that 67% of total carbon present in 4-NP was mineralized into CO2 and CO. The catalyst was recycled for five consecutive cycles without losing its catalytic activities. The degradation mechanism of NPs with N-TiO2/C was also explored.
