[PMID: 38734294 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the most persistent compounds that get contaminated in the soil and water. Nearly 16 PAHs was considered to be a very toxic according US protection Agency. Though its concentration level is low in the environments but the effects due to it, is enormous. Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) is an emergent methodology towards treating such pollutants with low and high molecular weight of complex substances. In this study, sulfate radical (SO4‾•) based AOP is emphasized for purging PAH from different sources. This review essentially concentrated on the mechanism of SO4‾• for the remediation of pollutants from different sources and the effects caused due to these pollutants in the environment was reduced by this mechanism is revealed in this review. It also talks about the SO4‾• precursors like Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and Persulfate (PS) and their active participation in treating the different sources of toxic pollutants. Though PS and PMS is used for removing different contaminants, the degradation of PAH due to SO4‾• was presented particularly. The hydroxyl radical (•OH) mechanism-based methods are also emphasized in this review along with their limitations. In addition to that, different activation methods of PS and PMS were discussed which highlighted the performance of transition metals in activation. Also this review opened up about the degradation efficiency of contaminants, which was mostly higher than 90% where transition metals were used for activation. Especially, on usage of nanoparticles even 100% of degradation could be able to achieve was clearly showed in this literature study. This study mainly proposed the treatment of PAH present in the soil and water using SO4‾• with different activation methodologies. Particularly, it emphasized about the importance of treating the PAH to overcome the risk associated with the environment and humans due to its contamination.

Abstract
Photocatalytic coupling technologies have emerged as popular strategies to increase the treatment efficiency of dye-containing wastewater. Herein, the Z-scheme Co3O4/BiOBr heterojunction (Z-CBH) was constructed and developed as a photocatalytic peroxydisulfate (PDS) activator for the degradation of high-concentration Rhodamine B (RhB). Multiple testing techniques were employed to confirm the formation of Z-CBHs. When 0.1 g·L-1 of Z-CBH20 and 1.0 mmol·L-1 of PDS were added simultaneously under simulated sunlight irradiation, the RhB degradation efficiency could approach 91.3%. Its reaction rate constant (0.01231 min-1) was much beyond the sum of those in the Z-CBH20/light system (0.00436 min-1) and the PDS/light system (0.0062 min-1). h+, •OH, •O2-, SO4•-, and 1O2 were detected as the dominant reactive species for RhB degradation. The potential mechanism of photocatalytic PDS oxidation was proposed. The possible intermediates were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry assisted with density functional theory and Fukui theory. The possible degradation pathways of RhB degradation were put forward. The toxicological properties of RhB and its intermediates were evaluated by quantitative structure-activity relationship prediction. This work will not only provide a reference for developing photocatalytic persulfate activators but also gain an insight into the degradation pathways of RhB and the toxicity of its intermediates.

Novel calcium oxide activated peroxymonosulfate system for methylene blue removal: Identification of key influencing factors, transformation pathway and toxicity assessment. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 349:140955. [PMID: 38104737 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140955] [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: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
The activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) has gained significant interest in the removal of organic pollutants. However, traditional methods usually suffer from drawbacks such as secondary contamination and high energy requirements. In this study, we propose a green and cost-effective approach utilizing calcium oxide (CaO) to activate PMS, aiming to construct a simple and reliable PMS based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). The proposed CaO/PMS system achieved fast degradation of methylene blue (MB), where the degradation rate of CaO/PMS system (0.24 min-1) was nearly 2.67 times that of PMS alone (0.09 min-1). Under the optimized condition, CaO/PMS system exhibited remarkable durability against pH changes, co-exists ions or organic matters. Furthermore, singlet oxygen (1O2) was identified as the dominant reactive oxygen species by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quenching tests. Accordingly, the degradation pathways of MB are proposed by combing the results of LC/MS analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and the predicted ecotoxicity of the generated byproducts evaluated by EOCSAR could provide systematic insights into the fates and environmental risks of MB. Overall, the study provides an eco-friendly and effective strategy for treating dyeing wastewater, which should shed light on the application of PMS based AOPs.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 262:115318.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are recognized as promising bio-based flocculants for controlling harmful algal blooms (HABs). Due to the charge shielding effect in seawater and the strong mobility of algae cells, CNC can't effectively remove Phaeocystis globosa from seawater. To solve this problem, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) was used to enhance the coagulation of CNC for rapidly removal of P. globosa. The results showed that 91.7% of Chl-a, 95.2% of OD680, and 97.2% of turbidity of P. globosa were reduced within 3 h with the use of 200 mg L-1 of CNC and 20 mg L-1 of PMS. The removal of P. globosa was consisted of inactivation and flocculation. Notably, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrums and quenching experiments revealed that the inactivation of P. globosa was dominated by PMS oxidation and 1O2. Subsequently, CNC entrained inactivated algal cells to settle to the bottom to achieve efficient removal of P. globosa. The content of total organic carbon (TOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) decreased significantly, indicating that a low emission risk of algal cell effluent was produced in the CNC-PMS system. In view of the excellent performance on P. globosa removal, we believe that the CNC-PMS system has great potential for HABs treatments.

Abstract
A novel homogeneous electrocatalytic system was constructed by current-assisted trace Co(II) activating PMS (ECP) to remove reactive blue 19 (RB19). More than 93 % of RB19 was rapidly removed with only a trace dose, and the PMS was 98.35 % utilized during the reaction. By exploring the active species and analyzing the PMS consumption, it was found that current strongly accelerated the Co(III)/Co(II) redox cycle by providing electrons to Co(III), and inhibited the side reaction thus improving the PMS utilization. Electric energy per order was very low, only 0.26 kWh·m3. Radicals (SO4•-) and non-radicals (Co(III), Co(IV) and 1O2) participated in ECP system, in which SO4•- was dominant. By excluding the other three precursors (PMS, •OH and O2•-), the side reaction product SO5•- was identified as the source of 1O2 in ECP system. Combining chelating agent EDTA and chemical probe PMSO, Co(IV) was considered formed by single and double charge transfer. Five degradation pathways of RB19 were proposed using mass spectrometry and DFT calculation. The ecotoxicity and mutagenicity of RB19 and its transformation products were predicted using software simulation. These studies provided an interesting insights into the synergistic Co(II)-PMS systems and offered a new strategy for electrochemical processes.

Abstract
Aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) are toxic environmental contaminants presented in most of the environmental matrices. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the removal of AHs in the account of complete mineralization from various environmental matrices have been reviewed in this paper. An in-depth discussion on various AOPs for mono (BTEX) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their derivatives is presented. Most of the AOPs were effective in the removal of AHs from the aquatic environment. A comparative study on the degradation of various AHs revealed that the oxidation of the AHs is strongly dependent on the number of aromatic rings and the functional groups attached to the ring. The formation of halogenated and nitrated derivatives of AHs in the real contaminated water containing chloride, nitrite, and nitrate ions seems to be a challenge in using the AOPs in real systems. The phenolic compounds, quinone, alcohols, and aliphatic acids are the important byproducts formed during the oxidation of AHs, initiated by the attack of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on their electron-rich center. In conclusion, AOPs are the adaptable method for the removal of AHs from different environmental matrices. The persulfate-based AOPs were applied in the soil phase removal as an in situ chemical oxidation of AHs. Moreover, the combination of AOPs will be a conclusive solution to avoid or minimize unexpected or other toxic intermediate products and to obtain rapid oxidation of AHs.
