Abstract
The pervasive presence of pathogenic bacteria in water environment poses a serious threat to public health. Here, a photocatalytic cascade was developed to reveal great water disinfection. Firstly, N-doped carbon nanosheets (N-CNSs) about 30-50 nm in size were synthesized by a hydrothermal strategy. It revealed wide-spectrum photocatalysis for H2O2 generation via a typical two-step single-electron process. A Fenton agent (Fe ion) was loaded, N-CNSs-Fe can in-situ convert photocatalytic H2O2 into ·OH with high oxidation potential. Moreover, its Fenton active is three times greater than pure Fe2+ owing to electron enrichment from N-CNSs to Fe for Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle. Further investigation displayed that Fe loading also could decrease bad gap and promote charge separation to boost photocatalysis. In addition, N-CNSs-Fe possesses positive surface potential to exhibit strong interaction with negative bacteria, facilitating the capture. Therefore, the nanocomposite can effectively inactivate E. coli with a lethality rate of 99.7 % under stimulated sunlight irradiation. In addition, it also was employed to treat a complex lake water sample, revealing great antibacterial (95.1 %) and dye-decolored (92.3 %) efficiency at the same time. With novel biocompatibility and antibacterial ability, N-CNSs-Fe possessed great potential for water disinfection.

Abstract
The present study provided an innovative insight into the formation mechanism of persistent free radicals (PFRs) during the pyrolysis of Fenton-conditioned sludge. Fenton conditioners simultaneously improve the dewatering performance of sewage sludge and catalyze the pyrolysis of sewage sludge for the formation of PFRs. In this process, PFRs with a total number of spins of 9.533×1019 spins/g DS could be generated by pyrolysis of Fenton-conditioned sludge at 400°C. The direct thermal decomposition of natural organic matter (NOM) fractions contributed to the formation of carbon-centered radicals, while the Maillard reaction produced phenols precursors. Additionally, the reaction between aromatic proteins and iron played a crucial role in the formation of phenoxyl or semiquinone-type radicals. Kinetics analysis using discrete distributed activation energy model (DAEM) demonstrated that the average activation energy for pyrolysis was reduced from 178.28 kJ/mol for raw sludge to 164.53 KJ/mol for Fenton conditioned sludge. The reaction factor (fi) indicated that the primary reaction in Fenton-conditioned sludge comprised of 27 parallel first-order reactions, resulting from pyrolysis cleavage of the NOM fractions, the Maillard reaction, and iron catalysis. These findings are significant for understanding the formation process of PFRs from NOM in Fenton-conditioned sludge and provide valuable insight for controlling PFRs formation in practical applications.

Abstract
In recent years, as global industrialization has intensified, environmental pollution has become an increasingly serious problem. Improving water quality and achieving wastewater purification remain top priorities for environmental health initiatives. The Fenton process is favored by researchers due to its high efficiency and ease of operation. Central to the Fenton process is a catalyst used to activate hydrogen peroxide, rapidly degrading pollutants, improving water quality. Among various catalysts developed, copper-based catalysts have attracted considerable attention due to their affordability, high activity, and stable performance. Based on this, this paper reviews the development of copper-based Fenton systems over the past decade. It mainly involves the research and application of copper-based catalysts in different Fenton systems, including photo-Fenton, electro-Fenton, microwave-Fenton, and ultrasonic-Fenton. This review provides a fundamental reference for the subsequent studies of copper-based Fenton systems, contributing to the goal of transitioning these systems from laboratory research into practical environmental applications.

Abstract
Antibiotics, as a class of environmental pollutants, pose a significant challenge due to their persistent nature and resistance to easy degradation. This study delves into modeling and optimizing conventional Fenton degradation of antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and total organic carbon (TOC) under varying levels of H2O2, Fe2+ concentration, pH, and temperature using statistical and artificial intelligence techniques including Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA), Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). In statistical metrics, the ANN model demonstrated superior predictive accuracy compared to its counterparts, with lowest RMSE values of 0.986 and 1.173 for SMX and TOC removal, respectively. Sensitivity showcased H2O2/Fe2+ ratio, time and pH as pivotal for SMX degradation, while in simultaneous SMX and TOC reduction, fine tuning the time, pH, and temperature was essential. Leveraging a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Desirability Optimization approach, the trained ANN model revealed an optimal desirability of 0.941 out of 1000 solutions which yielded a 91.18% SMX degradation and 87.90% TOC removal under following specific conditions: treatment time of 48.5 min, Fe2+: 7.05 mg L-1, H2O2: 128.82 mg L-1, pH: 5.1, initial SMX: 97.6 mg L-1, and a temperature: 29.8 °C. LC/MS analysis reveals multiple intermediates with higher m/z (242, 270 and 288) and lower m/z (98, 108, 156 and 173) values identified, however no aliphatic hydrocarbon was isolated, because of the low mineralization performance of Fenton process. Furthermore, some inorganic fragments like NH4+ and NO3- were also determined in solution. This comprehensive research enriches AI modeling for intricate Fenton-based contaminant degradation, advancing sustainable antibiotic removal strategies.

Abstract
In this work, iron-bearing mining reject was employed as an alternative and potential low-cost catalyst to degrade phenol in water by photo-Fenton strategy. Various techniques, including SEM-EDS, BET, FTIR, and XRD, were applied to evaluate the material's properties. Process parameters such as hydrogen peroxide concentration, catalyst dosage, and pH were studied to determine the optimum reaction conditions ([catalyst] = 0.75 g L-1, [H2O2] = 7.5 mM, and pH = 3). Phenol degradation and mineralization efficiencies at 180 and 300 min were 96.5 and 78%, respectively. These satisfactory results can be associated with the iron amount present in the waste sample. Furthermore, the material showed high catalytic activity and negligible iron leaching even after the fourth reuse cycle. The degradation behavior of phenol in water was well represented by a kinetic model based on the Fermi function. The iron-bearing mining reject can be considered a potential photo-Fenton catalyst for phenol degradation in wastewater.

Abstract
Effective and economical processes for the advanced treatment of coking wastewater were urgently needed to reduce the persistent organic pollutants of external drainage. In the present work, we investigated the degradation of organic pollutants in coking wastewater through IHC/FO (imping stream hydrodynamic cavitation (IHC) coupled with the Fenton oxidation (FO) process) and IHC alone for their feasibility in the advanced treatment of coking wastewater. To select the optimum parameters, attention was paid to the effects of main operation conditions including inlet fluid pressure, medium temperature, initial pH, reaction time, and initial Fe(II) and initial H2O2 concentrations. The results showed that the effects of conditions that need energy to be maintained (such as initial pH and inlet pressure) on the organic pollutant removal efficiency through IHC/FO were less pronounced than those through IHC alone. Moreover, the application of IHC/FO could remove more organic pollutants from coking wastewater than IHC even at an energy-efficient condition. For example, the highest COD removal efficiency of 12.5% was achieved in the IHC treatment at 0.4 MPa, pH 3, and 60 min for the reaction time. In the case of IHC/FO, the maximum COD removal of 33.2% was obtained at pH 7, 0.1 MPa, 12 mmol/L H2O2, and 3 mmol/L Fe2+ after reacting for 15 min. The ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) absorption spectra and gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis further revealed that the kinds and amounts of pollutants (especially those that had benzenes) remaining in water treated through IHC/FO were much fewer and smaller than in water treated through IHC alone. The better performances of IHC/FO than IHC alone were likely related to the more hydroxyl radicals produced through IHC/FO. Taken together, our findings indicate that IHC/FO has great application potential in the advanced treatment of coking wastewater.

Abstract
This work aimed to investigate the impact of hydrogen peroxide (HP) punctual dosage on paracetamol (PCT) degradation, through Fenton and photo-Fenton processes under near-neutral pH conditions, using ferrioxalate and artificial sunlight. The assays were performed using a D-optimal experimental design, to statistically evaluate the influence of radiation (ON or OFF), HP concentration (94.5-756 mg L-1), and HP dosage (YES or NO), on PCT conversion. The optimal conditions determined from the study were: HP = 378 mg L-1, DOS = YES, and RAD = ON, achieving a predicted PCT conversion of 99.68% in 180 min. This result obtained from the model was very close to the experimental one (98.80%). It was verified that HP dosage positively influenced the iron catalytic cycle since higher Fe2+ concentrations were reached at shorter reaction times, accelerating not only PCT conversion but also its by-products hydroquinone and 1,4-benzoquinone, leading to better performances of Fenton and photo-Fenton reactions. Under optimal conditions and employing real water matrices (an artificial matrix with inorganic anions, a real groundwater sample, and a synthetic industrial wastewater), HP dosage demonstrated the ability to mitigate the negative effects caused by the content of different ions and other organic compounds and significantly improve HP consumption in challenging wastewater conditions.

Abstract
In this study, a non-thermal dielectric barrier discharge-Fenton/photo-Fenton process was investigated to remove phenol from synthetic wastewater. The changes and optimal values of influencing parameters, including treatment time, iron concentration, phenol initial concentration, and pH, were investigated based on the central composite design (CCD) method. The presence of 0.4 mmol/L of iron in the phenol solution with a concentration of 100 mg/L increased the removal efficiency and pseudo-first-order kinetic constant compared to dielectric barrier discharge cold plasma (DBDP) alone from 0.0824 min-1 and 56.8% to 0.2078 min-1 and 86.83%, respectively. The phenol removal efficiency was reduced to 52.9%, 45.6% and 31.8% by adding tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) with concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 mg/l, respectively. After 12 min of DBDP irradiation, the pH of the sample decreased from 5.95 to 3.42, and the temperature of the sample increased from 19.3 to 37.2 degrees Celsius. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the sample containing 100 mg/L phenol under plasma-Fenton/photo-Fenton irradiation decreased from 241 mg/L to 161 mg/L. Phenol removal efficiency after 10 min of treatment in the presence of 0.4 mmol/L of iron with the reactor volume of 50 mL was 87%, but the efficiency decreased to 76%, 47%, and 9% by increasing the volume to 100, 200, and 400 mL, respectively. Reducing the power led to a decrease in the removal efficiency from 56.8% for 100 W power to 10.8% for 40 W. The energy efficiency for 50% removal by DBDP and plasma-Fenton/photo-Fenton systems was 5.86×10-3 kWh/mg and 1.27×10-3 kWh/mg, respectively.

Abstract
The Fenton system was a generation system of reactive oxygen species via the chain reactions, which employed H2O2 and O2 as radical precursors and Fe2+/Fe3+ as electron-donor/acceptor for triggering or terminating the generation of radicals. Recent work mainly emphasized the Fe2+- activated H2O2 and the application of in-situ generated •OH, while neglecting other side-reactions. In this work, EDTA (Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) was employed as a chelating agent of iron ions, which simultaneously changed the redox property of coordinated iron. The Fe2+-EDTA complexes in the presence of dissolved oxygen enabled the two-electron transfer from Fe2+ to O2 and the in-situ production of H2O2, which further activate H2O2 for yielding •OH. Meanwhile, coordinated Fe3+ exhibited non-negligible reactivity toward H2O2, which was higher than that of free Fe3+ in the traditional Fenton system. The complexation of EDTA with Fe3+ could enhance the Fe2+ generation reaction by the H2O2, accompanied by the O2•- formation. The enhancement of O2•- formation and Fe2+-EDTA regeneration induced the subsequent H2O2 activation by Fe2+-EDTA, thus accelerating the Fe3+-EDTA/Fe2+-EDTA cycle for simultaneously producing O2•- and •OH. To sum up, the EDTA-chelated Fenton system extended the applicable pH range to circumneutral/alkaline level and tuned the redox property of coordinated iron for diversifying the •OH production routes. The research reinterpreted the chain reactions in the Fenton system, revealing another way to enhance the radical production or other property of the Fenton/Fenton-like system.

Abstract
In this work, a novel alginate/polyvinylpyrrolidone (SA/PVP-Fe) hydrogel spheres were prepared by cross-linking with Fe2+ ions after blending sodium alginate with polyvinylpyrrolidone. The degradation performance of the hydrogels was assessed through the degradation of phenol, achieving 100% degradation and about 64% total organic carbon (TOC) mineralization within 60 min (initial concentration of phenol = 20 mg/L; H2O2 concentration = 5 mM; initial pH = 6.5; catalyst dosage = 1.0 g/L). Degradation kinetics were monitored using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The structural and chemical properties of the hydrogels were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Additionally, the hydrogels exhibited multiple reuse cycles, albeit with a gradual decline in degradation performance. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the hydroxyl radical derived from the Fenton reaction was the primary active species responsible for the degradation process. This research provides valuable insights into improving the mechanical properties of sodium alginate hydrogels, opening up avenues for their practical applications.

Abstract
Removal of recalcitrant lignin from wastewater remains a critical bottleneck in multiple aspects relating to microbial carbon cycling ranging from incomplete treatment of biosolids during wastewater treatment to limited conversion of biomass feedstock to biofuels. Based on previous studies showing that the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Fenton chemistry synergistically degrade lignin, we sought to determine optimum levels of Fenton addition and the mechanisms underlying this synergy. We tested the extent of degradation of lignin under different ratios of Fenton reagents and found that relatively low levels of H2O2 and Fe(II) enhanced fungal lignin degradation, achieving 80.4 ± 1.61 % lignin degradation at 1.5 mM H2O2 and 0.3 mM Fe(II). Using a combination of whole-transcriptome sequencing and iron speciation assays, we determined that at these concentrations, Fenton chemistry induced the upregulation of 80 differentially expressed genes in P. ch including several oxidative enzymes. This study underlines the importance of non-canonical, auxiliary lignin-degrading pathways in the synergy between white rot fungi and Fenton chemistry in lignin degradation. We also found that, relative to the abiotic control, P. ch. increases the availability of Fe(II) for the production of hydroxyl radicals in the Fenton reaction by recycling Fe(III) (p < 0.001), decreasing the Fe(II) inputs necessary for lignin degradation via the Fenton reaction.

Abstract
Shale gas extraction process generates a large amount of shale gas flowback wastewater (SGFW) containing refractory organic compounds, which can pose serious environmental threats if not properly treated. However, the extremely complex compositions of organics in SGFW are still unknown and their transformation pathways in O3- and •OH-dominated systems are not well recognized, which restrain the selection of treatment technology and optimization of operational parameters. The removal characteristics and reaction mechanism of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in SGFW treated by ozonation and Fenton processes were comparatively investigated using electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. The results showed that both processes could degrade low-oxygen highly unsaturated and phenolic organics, polyphenolics and polycyclic aromatics, and transform them into aliphatic organics and high-oxygen highly unsaturated and phenolic organics. With increasing action of reactive oxygen species (O3 for ozonation and •OH for Fenton process), the degradation products (mainly aliphatic organics) increased during ozonation. However, in Fenton process, a wider range of DOM was removed without aliphatic organics accumulation. The degradation mechanisms of DOM during ozonation and Fenton processes included oxygen addition reactions (+3O, +H2O2, and +2O) as dominant pathways. However, ozonation showed more violent oxygenation, hydroxylation, and carboxylation, while Fenton process presented more violent chain-breaking reactions. These results revealed the selective oxidation of ozone and nonselective oxidation of •OH during SGFW treatment, and provided theoretical support for selecting SGFW treatment approaches.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of single Fenton and Fenton and UV combined processes on the cracking degree of anaerobic sludge under the same conditions. The optimal experimental conditions were obtained by repeated determination of Fe2+ dosage, H2O2 dosage and reaction time, so as to achieve the maximum cracking of sludge. In addition, this study applied three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum analysis technology to analyze the organic matter leached from the treated sludge, and different regions of the three-dimensional fluorescence spectra were analyzed and compared for each treatment condition. Repeated experiments showed that the optimal conditions for Fenton are a pH of 3, reaction time of 40 min, 1.4 g/L of Fe2+ and 9 g/L of H2O2. The Fenton process cracking yielded a protein concentration of 0.66 mg/L and sCOD of 5489 mg/L, and the UV-Fenton pretreatment yielded a protein concentration of 0.74 mg/L and sCOD of 5856 mg/L. The sludge particle size was reduced from the original 54.52 mm to 40.30 mm and 36.37 mm, respectively. In addition to these parameters, it was also demonstrated that the Fenton process has a strong cracking effect on sludge by indicators such as the SEM and sludge water content and that UV irradiation can play a role in assisting and helping sludge cracking.

Abstract
In this study, coal bottom ash from a thermoelectric plant was tested as an alternative Fenton catalyst for phenol degradation in water. The effect of operating parameters such as initial pH, catalyst dosage and H2O2 concentration were evaluated. The characterization results indicated that the material has a mesoporous structure, with active species (Fe) well distributed on its surface. Under the optimal reaction conditions (6 mM H2O2, 1 g L-1 of catalyst and pH = 3), 98.7% phenol degradation efficiency was achieved in 60 min, as well as 71.6% TOC removal after 150 min. Hydroxyl radical was identified as the main oxidizing agent involved on the cleavage of the phenol molecule. After four consecutive reuse cycles, phenol degradation efficiency was around 80%, indicating good reusability and stability of the catalyst. Therefore, the obtained results demonstrated that the bottom ash presents remarkable activity for application in the Fenton reaction towards phenol degradation.

Abstract
Selecting a suitable pretreatment process for pharmaceutical wastewater that is difficult to treat biochemically so that it can enter the subsequent biochemical treatment. In this study, pharmaceutical wastewater consisting of 45 g/L sodium bisulfate, 9 g/L 3-hydroxyacetophenone (3-HAP), and 36.75 g/L sulfuric acids,which is a kind of typical pharmaceutical wastewater, was used for the pretreatment case study, and the process was screened by technology. A salting-out crystallization+Fenton system(SC-F) was developed for the treatment of this wastewater. The salting-out agent is formed by the pH adjustment process without additional additions and the salting-out crystallization effect is significant for the precipitation of 3-HAP from the wastewater. Subsequently, the optimal operating conditions for SC-F were derived from experiments as H2O2 of 0.4692 mol/L, n(H2O2):n(Fe2+)=30:1, pH=3. Under optimal conditions, the reaction time of 2 h achieved a COD removal rate of 90% and a BOD/COD value of 0.56, confirming the effectiveness of the technology in treating this wastewater. Additionally, it was discovered that the Fenton treatment was not significantly impacted by the inorganic components of the effluent. Analysis of effluent properties and possible effects on subsequent treatment by LC-MS and toxicity analysis. The results show that the biodegradability are enhanced by the pretreatment technology. However, the effluent still suffers from high acidity and high salt content, and this study proposes a solution to this problem. Furthermore, research on the treatment of 3-HAP wastewater has not been reported and this study provides a new case study in the field of wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, a green zero-valent iron-loaded carbon composite (ZVI-SCG) was synthesized using coffee grounds and FeCl3 solution through two-steps method, and the synthesized ZVI-SCG was used in the activation of peroxydisulfate (PDS) to degrade Levofloxacin (LEX). Results revealed that ZVI-SCG exhibited a great potential for LEX removal by adsorption and catalytic degradation in the ZVI-SCG/PDS system, and 99% of LEX was removed in the ZVI-SCG/PDS system within 60 min. ZVI-SCG/PDS system showed a high reactivity toward LEX degradation under realistic environmental conditions. Also, the ZVI-SCG/PDS system could effectively degrade several quinolone antibiotics including gatifloxacin, ciprofloxacin and LEX in single and simultaneous removal modes. A potential reaction mechanism of LEX degradation by ZVI-SCG/PDS system was proposed, SO4•-, HO•, O2•- and 1O2 involved in radical and non-radical pathways took part in catalytic degradation of LEX by ZVI-SCG/PDS system, but HO• might be the main reactive species for LEX degradation. The possible degradation pathway of LEX was also proposed based on the identified ten intermediate products, LEX degradation was successfully achieved through decarboxylation, opening ring and hydroxylation processes. The potential toxicity of LEX and its oxidation products decreased significantly after treatment. This study provides a promising strategy of water treatment for the antibiotics-containing wastewater.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are the class of materials which are purely ionic in nature and liquid at room temperature. Their remarkable properties like very low vapour pressure, non-inflammable and high heat resistance are responsible for their use as a very appealing solvent in a variety of industrial applications in place of regular organic solvents. Because ILs are water soluble to a certain extent, the industrial wastewater effluents are found to contaminate with their traces. The non-biodegradability of ILs attracts the attention of the researchers for their removal or degradation from wastewater. Numbers of methods are available for the treatment of wastewater. However, it is very crucial to use the most efficient method for the degradation of ILs. Advanced oxidation process (AOP) is one of the most important techniques for the treatment of ILs in wastewater which have been investigated during last decades. This review paper covers the cost-effective Fenton, photochemical and photocatalytic AOPs and their combination that could be applied for the degradation of ILs from the wastewater. Theoretical explanations of these AOPs along with experimental conditions and kinetics of degradation or removal of ILs from water and wastewater have been reported and compared. Finally, future perspectives of IL degradation are presented.

Abstract
Untreated swine wastewater (SW) discharge leads to serious consequences such as water quality decreasing related to eutrophication and proliferation of harmful algae containing cyanotoxins, which can cause acute intoxication in humans. The use of untreated pig farming effluent as fertilizer can lead to the accumulation of polluting compounds. Biological treatments can degrade organic matter but have the disadvantage of requiring large areas and high retention times and demonstrating low efficiencies in the degradation of refractory compounds such as pharmaceutical compounds. In this ambit, the performance of four low-cost materials was evaluated for treatment of a swine wastewater using physical-chemical processes such as adsorption and Fenton's process. The tested materials are two natural resources, red volcanic rock from Canary (RVR) Islands and black volcanic rock (BVR) from Azores, and two industry residues, red mud (RM) and iron filings (IF). Among the tested materials, only IFs are catalytically active for Fenton's peroxidation. Still, RVR, BVR, and RM were efficient adsorbents removing up to 67% of COD. The combination between adsorption followed by Fenton's process using IF as catalyst showed interesting results. When RM is applied as adsorbent in the diluted effluent, it was able to remove 67% and 90% of COD for adsorption and adsorption followed by IF Fenton, respectively. At those conditions, the resultant treated effluent accomplishes the requirements for direct discharge in the natural water courses as well as the parameters for water reusing.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) assisted with Fenton (US-Fenton) reaction was developed to efficiently and greenly prepare starch nanoparticles (SNPs) that were employed as nanofillers to enhance gelatin (G) film properties. Compared to Fenton reaction alone, US-Fenton reaction significantly improved preparation efficiency and dispersion of SNPs (p < 0.05). An optimal US-Fenton reaction parameter (300 mM H2O2, ascorbic acid 55 mM, US 45 min) was found to prepare SNPs with uniform sizes (50-90 nm) and low molecular weight (Mn 7.91 × 105 Da). The XRD, FT-IR, and SAXS analysis revealed that the US-Fenton reaction degraded the amorphous and crystalline zones of starch from top to down, leading to the collapse of the original layered structure starch and the progressive formation of SNPs. The different sizes of SNPs were selected to prepare the composite films. The G-SNP3 film (with 50-90 nm SNPs) showed the most outstanding UV blocking, tensile, and barrier properties. Especially, the tensile strength of G-5%SNP3 film (containing 5 % SNPs) increased by 156 % and 6 % over that of G film and G-5%SNP2 film (containing 5%SNPs with 100-180 nm), respectively. Therefore, the nanomaterial was promisingly prepared by the US-Fenton system and provided a strategy for designing and producing nanocomposite films.

Abstract
AbstractThe present study evaluated the effect of the Fenton process as pretreatment for metronidazole (MNZ) removal coupled with a phytoremediation system using Scirpus lacustris as macrophyte. Initial concentrations of 0.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mg MNZ/L were studied in batch cultures. Results obtained in the MNZ removal by phytoremediation showed efficiencies of 93 ± 2%, 81 ± 4%, 85 ± 1%, 84 ± 2%, and 87 ± 6%, respectively. The metronidazole pretreated by the Fenton process and subsequently fed to the phytoremediation system increased the removal efficiencies up to 93 ± 3%, 99 ± 1%, 99 ± 4%, 94 ± 2%, and 94 ± 3%, respectively. Individual studies with Scirpus lacustris in touch with metronidazole displayed relative growth rates of 0.02-0.04 d-1, showing the not toxic effect of the antibiotic on the macrophyte growth. On the other hand, the BMG kinetic model best describes the removal of MNZ by phytoremediation. Finally, applying the Fenton process as a pretreatment makes the MNZ more assimilable for the phytoremediation system, converting the integration of Fenton with the phytoremediation like other attractive technology to be considered in removing emerging compounds.

Abstract
Dye wastewater is a kind of refractory organic wastewater. Fenton coupled with micro-nano bubbles (MNBs+FT) was used for the degradation of Congo red (CR), aiming at simplifying the organic pollutants degradation process and reducing the cost of the process. The optimum condition of Fenton alone, the outlet pressure of the cavitation process and different combinations on the degradation of CR dye wastewater were discussed in this study. The results showed that the degradation of CR (100 mg/L) could reach 94.4% by using the MNBs+FT at the pH of 7, which was 72% higher than that using Fenton oxidation alone and 79% higher than that using MNBs alone. Based on the same degradation efficiency, the traditional Fenton process alone required 8 times the dose of oxidants of these combination systems, and the synergy coefficient of MNBs+FT was up to 2.44. ESR analysis indicated that ·OH was the predominant active species during the degradation of CR and MNBs+FT improved the utilization efficiency of H2O2 and produced more ·OH. Besides, the MNBs+FT could extend the pH range of the high-efficiency oxidation reaction, and it could also keep a high degradation rate under neutral conditions, which eliminated the process of adjusting the pH and reduced the anti-corrosion requirements of the equipment. According to the economic analysis results, the total cost of treatment for the MNBs/FT was about 13% of the cost of only the Fenton process. This study provides a reference for the application of MNBs+FT systems in full-scale dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), one of the main categories of emerging contaminants, are a family of fluorinated organic compounds of anthropogenic origin. PFAS can endanger the environment and human health because of their wide application in industries, long-term persistence, unique properties, and bioaccumulation potential. This study sought to explain the accumulation of different PFAS in water bodies. In aquatic environments, PFAS concentrations range extensively from <0.03 (groundwater; Melbourne, Australia) to 51,000 ng/L (Groundwater, Sweden). Additionally, bioaccumulation of PFAS in fish and water biota has been stated to range from 0.2 (Burbot, Lake Vättern, Sweden) to 13,900 ng/g (Bluegill samples, U.S.). Recently, studies have focused on PFAS removal from aqueous solutions; one promising technique is advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), including microwaves, ultrasound, ozonation, photocatalysis, UV, electrochemical oxidation, the Fenton process, and hydrogen peroxide-based and sulfate radical-based systems. The removal efficiency of PFAS ranges from 3% (for MW) to 100% for UV/sulfate radical as a hybrid reactor. Therefore, a hybrid reactor can be used to efficiently degrade and remove PFAS. Developing novel, efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable AOPs for PFAS degradation in water treatment systems is a critical area of research.

Abstract
Amoxicillin (AMX) is one of the antibiotics in the penicillin category that is used in various fields. Considering the harmful effects of its remains, it is necessary to survey the ways to remove this compound. Advanced oxidation process (AOPs), specially photo-Fenton has been used for the removal of AMX. This study has been conducted based on PubMed, Google Scholar, DOAJ, Web of Science, and Scopus databases during the years 2008-2019. Some factors such as the aquatic solution, light source characteristics, iron, and H2O2 concentration, AMX degradation percentage, removal of total organic carbon percentage, and AMX concentration have been surveyed to optimize the process. Studies showed that the photo-Fenton process is highly dependent on pH, and in most studies, the highest efficiency has been observed in acidic pH values. Using a more energy light source can be effective in reducing the use of catalysts and oxidizers. The combined methods of AOPs such as photo-Fenton, electro-Fenton, and photo-electro-Fenton have higher efficiency in increasing mineralization than the photon process. The use of synthetic wastewater has a higher efficiency in the degradation of AMX than in real wastewater in the photo-Fenton process, which can be due to the absence of the interfering agents in synthetic environments.

Abstract
The leachates emanating from the landfills are high in organic loads and thus become potential sources of contamination for both surface and groundwater. As the landfill ages, the nature of leachate changes from acidic to alkaline. The change in pH level affects the chemical oxygen demand (COD)/biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) ratio and when it is less than 0.63, chemical treatments are more effective over the biological treatment methods such as upflow anaerobic sludge blankets (UASB). The existing literature suggests coagulation-flocculation and advanced oxidation process (Fenton) as effective methods for treating wastewater but no comparison of the two are available. Thus, the present study attempts to identify the most efficient coagulants out of ferric chloride (FeCl3), ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) and alum [Al2(SO4)3]. Ferric chloride leading to 99% colour removal, 98% COD removal, 99% decrease in total organic carbon, 94.3% removal in NH3-N and 91.4% removal in total Kjeldahl nitrogen is observed to be the most efficient coagulant and surprisingly, proves to be even better than Fenton. To understand the field applicability of the two treatment procedures, coagulation with FeCl3 and Fenton are compared with the UASB method which is currently employed at Gazipur landfill site, Delhi. With lesser operational cost than UASB, both FeCl3 and Fenton perform better on cost-efficiency scale. Switching from in-suit UASB method to the FeCl3 method of treatment may result in decreasing the operational cost by 71.9% and to conventional Fenton may result in decreasing the operational cost by 76.8%.

Abstract
The increasing consumption of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) inevitably releases RTILs into the water environment, posing serious threats to aquatic ecology due to the toxicities of RTILs. Thus, urgent needs are necessitated for developing useful processes for removing RTILs from water, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C4mimCl), the most common RTIL, would be the most representative RTIL for studying the removal of RTILs from water. As advanced oxidation processes with hydrogen peroxide (HP) are validated as useful approaches for eliminating emerging contaminants, developing advantageous heterogeneous catalysts for activating HP is the key to the successful degradation of C4mim. Herein, a hierarchical structure is fabricated by growing Cu2S on copper mesh (CSCM) utilizing CM as a Cu source. Compared to its precursor, CuO@CM, this CSCM exhibited tremendously higher catalytic activity for catalyzing HP to degrade C4mim efficiently because CSCM exhibits much more superior electrochemical properties and reactive sites, allowing CSCM to degrade C4mim rapidly. CSCM also exhibits a smaller Ea of C4mim elimination than all values in the literature. CSCM also shows a high capacity and stability for activating HP to degrade C4mim in the presence of NaCl and seawater. Besides, the mechanistic investigation of C4mim elimination by CSCM-activated HP has also been clarified and ascribed to OH and 1O2. The elimination route could also be examined and disclosed in detail through the quantum computational chemistry, confirming that CSCM is a useful catalyst for catalyzing HP to degrade RTILs.

Abstract
As a high-performance liquid rocket fuel, unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) will produce wastewater during transportation, storage and cleaning containers. The wastewater will have a bad impact on human health and ecological environment, and it must be properly handled. There are many reports about the technical feasibility of UDMH wastewater treatment. Less attention is paid to analyzing the impact on the environment during the treatment process. This paper quantifies the environmental impacts and economic benefits of four advanced oxidation processes for the treatment of UDMH wastewater based on life cycle assessment and life cycle costing methods. Taking the UDMH wastewater produced by an aerospace group of Tianjin, China as the research object, using Fenton method, UV-Fenton method, electro catalytic oxidation (EC) with ruthenium iridium titanium (Ti/TiO2-RuO2-IrO2) as electrode and electro catalytic oxidation with boron-doped diamond (BDD) as electrode as treatment methods, on the basis of the laboratory test, the industrialized device is adopted. The resource consumption, energy consumption, pollutant discharge and cost were compared when the TOC removal rate was the same, and a better method of treating unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine wastewater was discussed. The results show that the impact on most types of environments is as follows: UV-Fenton < Fenton < EC (BDD) < EC (Ti/TiO2-RuO2-IrO2), and the four advanced oxidation methods are all beneficial to reduce eutrophication. The life cycle cost of UV-Fenton is the lowest (US$1.53/m3). Combined with environmental and economic analysis, it can be seen that UV-Fenton is the best choice. Through sensitivity analysis, it can be seen that reducing chemical reagents and electricity consumption, and changing the way of generating electricity to renewable energy can significantly reduce the environmental and economic impact. The life cycle cost of EC(BDD) as the electrode is the highest (US$26.20/m3), but it can achieve a TOC removal rate of 97.75 %, so it is a better choice when only the removal rate is required regardless of cost.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are the most active, aggressive and oxidative reactive oxygen species. In the natural aquatic environment, •OH plays an important role in the biogeochemistry cycle, biotransformation, and pollution removal. This paper reviewed the distribution and formation mechanism of •OH in aquatic environments, including natural waters, colloidal substances, sediments, and organisms. Furthermore, factors affecting the formation and consumption of •OH were thoroughly discussed, and the mechanisms of •OH generation and scavenging were summarized. In particular, the effects of climate change and artificial work on •OH in the largest natural aquatic environment, i.e., marine environment was analyzed with the help of bibliometrics. Moreover, Fenton reactions make the •OH variation more complicated and should not be neglected, especially in those areas with suspended particles and sediments. Regarding the •OH variation in the natural aquatic environment, more attention should be given to global change and human activities.

Abstract
Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide, and it is an important environmental pollutant that can have adverse effects on human health. Therefore, remediation and reclamation of contaminated streams and aqueous environments polluted by glyphosate is currently a worldwide priority. Here, we show that the heterogeneous nZVI-Fenton process (nZVI + H2O2; nZVI: nanoscale zero-valent iron) can achieve the effective removal of glyphosate under different operational conditions. Removal of glyphosate can also take place in the presence of excess nZVI, without H2O2, but the high amount of nZVI needed to remove glyphosate from water matrices on its own would make the process very costly. Glyphosate removal via nZVI--Fenton was investigated in the pH range of 3-6, with different H2O2 concentrations and nZVI loadings. We observed significant removal of glyphosate at pH values of 3 and 4; however, due to a loss in efficiency of Fenton systems with increasing pH values, glyphosate removal was no longer effective at pH values of 5 or 6. Glyphosate removal also occurred at pH values of 3 and 4 in tap water, despite the occurrence of several potentially interfering inorganic ions. Relatively low reagent costs, a limited increase in water conductivity (mostly due to pH adjustments before and after treatment), and low iron leaching make nZVI-Fenton treatment at pH 4 a promising technique for eliminating glyphosate from environmental aqueous matrices.

Abstract
Semiconducting minerals (such as iron sulfides) are highly abundant in surface water, but their influences on the natural photochemical process of contaminants are still unknown. By simulating the natural water environment under solar irradiation, this work comprehensively investigated the photochemical processes of anthracene (a typical Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) in both freshwater and seawater. The results show that the natural pyrite (NP) significantly promotes the degradation of anthracene under solar illumination via 1) NP induced photocatalytic degradation of anthracene, and 2) Fenton reaction due to the NP induced photocatalytic generation of H2O2. The material characterization and theoretical calculation reveal that the natural impurity in NP enlarges its band gap, which limits the utilization of solar spectra to shorter wavelength. The contribution of generated reactive intermediates on anthracene degradation follows the order of 1O2 >OH > O2- in freshwater and O2- >1O2 >OH in seawater. The photochemically generated H2O2 is a vital source for OH generation (from Fenton reaction). The steady-state concentration of OH, 1O2 and O2- in freshwater were monitored as 3.0 × 10-15 M, 1.1 × 10-13 M, and 4.5 × 10-14 M, respectively. However, the OH concentration in seawater can be negligible due to the quenching effects by halides, and the 1O2 and O2- concentrations are higher than that in freshwater. An anthracene degradation kinetic model was built based on the experimentally determined reactive intermediates concentration and its second order rate constant with anthracene. Moreover, the anthracene degradation pathway was proposed based on intermediates analysis and DFT calculation, and its toxicity evolution during the photochemical process was assessed by quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) based prediction. This finding suggests that the natural semiconducting minerals can affect the fate and environmental risks of contaminants in natural water.

Abstract
The performance and mechanisms of a titanium carbide (Ti3C2) MXene modified Fe3+/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) system were compared in detail under dark and visible light conditions, with a new mechanism proposed for the reaction and reduction of MXene by Fe3+. Using Bisphenol A (BPA) as the target pollutant, the degradation of BPA by the Fe3+/H2O2 system was improved after adding MXene in the dark, and the degradation rate of BPA was ≥ 95 % within 12.5 min under visible light, six times higher than that in the dark. Fe2+ was ascertained to be the effective component responsible for H2O2 activation to produce ·OH. SEM, XPS, ICP, XRD, and FTIR spectroscopy, analyses show that MXene and Fe3+ form a complex, and then MXene reacts with Fe3+ by breaking the Ti-C bonding to accelerate the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle. MXene uses photogenerated electrons to promote this reaction under visible light. In addition, quenching experiments and electron spin resonance spectroscopy results show that ·OH and O2•- are the main reactive oxygen species under visible light, while ·OH is the main active species in the dark. MXene thus effectively uses O2 to form O2•- under visible light and promotes the Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle. This study provides a theoretical basis for the combination of visible light catalysis and the advanced oxidation process of a Ti3C2 MXene.

Abstract
The growing ubiquity of recalcitrant organic contaminants in the aqueous environment poses risks to effective and efficient water treatment and reuse. A novel three-dimensional (3D) electrochemical flow-through reactor employing activated carbon (AC) encased in a stainless-steel (SS) mesh as a cathode is proposed for the removal and degradation of a model recalcitrant contaminant p-nitrophenol (PNP), a toxic compound that is not easily biodegradable or naturally photolyzed, can accumulate and lead to adverse environmental health outcomes, and is one of the more frequently detected pollutants in the environment. As a stable 3D electrode, granular AC supported by a SS mesh frame as a cathode is hypothesized to 1) electrogenerate H2O2 via a 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction on the AC surface, 2) initiate decomposition of this electrogenerated H2O2 to form hydroxyl radicals on catalytic sites of the AC surface 3) remove PNP molecules from the waste stream via adsorption, and 4) co-locate the PNP contaminant on the carbon surface to allow for oxidation by formed hydroxyl radicals. Additionally, this design is utilized to electrochemically regenerate the AC within the cathode that is significantly saturated with PNP to allow for environmentally friendly and economic reuse of this material. Under flow conditions with optimized parameters, the 3D AC electrode is nearly 20% more effective than traditional adsorption in removing PNP. 30 grams of AC within the 3D electrode can remove 100% of the PNP compound and 92% of TOC under flow. The carbon within the 3D cathode can be electrochemically regenerated in the proposed flow system and design thereby increasing the adsorptive capacity by 60%. Moreover, in combination with continuous electrochemical treatment, the total PNP removal is enhanced by 115% over adsorption. It is anticipated this platform holds great promises to eliminate analogous contaminants as well as mixtures.

Abstract
This laboratory study investigates the potential of two innovative laccase-mediator systems for removing PAHs from historically contaminated field soil and focuses on the treatment effect on the accessible and desorption resistant PAH fraction. Laccase degraded accessible PAHs when applied in combination with the mediator TEMPO (up to 24 % within 48 h). The mediator HBT did not induce degradation but mobilized desorption resistant PAHs from high affinity sorption sites via a competitive sorption mechanism. Enzymatic degradation of inaccessible PAHs was not observed with neither of the two enzyme-mediator systems. To verify a potential radical susceptibility of contaminants inaccessible to microorganisms, PAH contaminated biochar was treated with hydroxyl radicals generated by Fenton's reaction. These radical species reduced the desorption resistant fraction of phenanthrene (13 ± 10 %), fluoranthene (33 ± 8 %) and benzo(a)pyrene (69 ± 5 %). In conclusion, laccase-mediator systems can interact with accessible and inaccessible PAHs, whereas direct degradation of desorption resistant contaminants required highly active hydroxyl radicals. Further studies should develop enzyme-mediator systems establishing a sufficient oxidation potential to attack the desorption resistant contaminant fraction.

In vitro experiments, the killing effect of the drug on cells was verified by cell viability CCK8, ROS generation level, LPO evaluation and flow cytometry; the MRI effect and targeted anti-tumor therapy effect were studied by in vivo experiments; then the tumor tissue sections were detected by Ki-67, CD31, ROS, LPO and TUNEL immunofluorescence detection; H&E staining and blood biochemical tests were used to evaluate the biosafety of the materials. Results Through a series of characterization tests, it is confirmed that the nano-materials prepared in this experiment have positive drug loading properties. MDA-MB-231 cells had great phagocytic ability to DOX@HFON under Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM). Experiments in vitro confirmed that DOX and Fe were released and concentrated in cells, and a large number of ROS production and induction of LPO were detected by DCFH-DA and C11-BODIPY probes in cells. Apoptosis experiments further confirmed that DOX@HFON induced apoptosis, autophagy and ferroptosis. In the vivo experiment, the anti-tumor therapy effect of MAGNET@DOX@HFON group was the most significant, and in MRI also proved that the drug had great tendency and imaging ability in tumor tissue. Conclusion The new magnetic targeting nano-diagnosis and treatment platform prepared in this experiment is expected to become a new treatment model for TNBC.

Abstract
The discovery of oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds by enzymes currently known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has profoundly changed our current understanding of enzymatic processes underlying the conversion of polysaccharides in the biosphere. LPMOs are truly unique enzymes, harboring a single copper atom in a solvent-exposed active site, allowing them to oxidize C-H bonds at the C1 and/or C4 carbon of glycosidic linkages found in recalcitrant, often crystalline polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin. To catalyze this challenging reaction, LPMOs harness and control a powerful oxidative reaction that involves Fenton-like chemistry. In this essay, we first draw a brief portrait of the LPMO field, notably explaining the shift from the monooxygenase paradigm (i.e., using O2 as cosubstrate) to that of a peroxygenase (i.e., using H2O2). Then, we briefly review current understanding of how LPMOs generate and control a hydroxyl radical (HO•) generated through Cu(I)-catalyzed H2O2 homolysis, and how this radical is used to create the proposed Cu(II)-oxyl species, abstracting hydrogen atom of the C-H bond. We also point at the complexity of analyzing redox reactions involving reactive oxygen species and address potential deficiencies in the interpretation of existing LPMO data. Being the first copper enzymes shown to enable site-specific Fenton-like chemistry, and maybe not the only ones, LPMOs may serve as a blueprint for future research on monocopper peroxygenases.

Abstract
Fenton process has become a research hotspot due to the nonselective and efficient degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by ·OH. However, there are still many challenges and bottlenecks for conventional Fenton (CF). This study provides the first comprehensive insight into the mechanisms of DOM degradation by the Fenton process, including the various subcategories of humic substances, emerging trace contaminants, including persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disrupting chemicals, and pharmaceuticals and personal care products, and the interference of humus and low molecular weight organic acids on the removal of trace contaminants. In addition, a statistical comparison of the economics of CF and three types of Fenton-like technologies (Photo-Fenton, Electro-Fenton, and Ultrasonic-Fenton) is conducted based on existing studies, which can be used as a reference for engineering applications. Moreover, a brief overview of the categories and characteristics of heterogeneous Fenton, which have been extensively studied in recent years, and a comparison of their catalysts are presented. In the end, the paper advances a possible future research direction.

Abstract
Ultrasonication (US)-assisted Fenton-system (US-Fenton) with different US time was developed for synthesizing chitosan (CS)-ferulic acid (FA) conjugates. The optimal US-Fenton for a suitable time was selected for preparing a film with CS-FA conjugate and its structural, functional, rheological, and physical properties were also investigated. Compared with Fenton-system, US-Fenton enhanced the grafting ratio of the conjugates, which increased firstly and then decreased as US time. The conjugate obtained by US-Fenton for 1 min (FUS1) possessed the highest grafting ratio (121.28 mg FA/g) and its grafting time was also shortened from 12 h to 1 min contrasted with Fenton grafted method. Structural characterization results showed that FA was conjugated on CS via ester and amide bonds with decreased crystallinity. Scanning electron microscopy and molecular weight analysis indicated that the degradation degree of CS-FA conjugates increased with US time. The DPPH and ABTS radical-scavenging activities of FUS1 were the closest to ascorbic acid, and it also showed the best antibacterial effect among the test conjugates. Accordingly, FUS1 was selected to obtain the film for contrasting with CS film. FUS1 film solution exhibited a decreased viscosity. In comparison to CS film, UV transmittance of FUS1 film approached zero, and its moisture, oxygen, and carbon dioxide permeabilities significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Moreover, its water solubility and tensile strength increased by 58.09% and 25.72% than those of CS film, respectively. Therefore, US-Fenton for 1 min could be a promising method for efficiently preparing active food package materials and FUS1 film possessed broad application prospects.

Abstract
Catalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) generation from oxygen and water enables a sustainable environment to operate in an effective and green energy-to-chemical conversion way, which has attracted increasing interest in the fields of energy production and environment treatment. In light of this, tremendous progresses and developments have been made during the past decades in catalytic H2 O2 production for pollutant removal from three perspectives including photocatalysis, electrocatalysis or chemical activation. Herein, we critically review the state-of-the-art developments over various procedures of H2 O2 generation and its further application, with the existence of photocatalysts, electrocatalysts, and catalysts, respectively. Benefiting from extensively experimental and theoretical investigations, the performance and stability of H2 O2 generation and its utilization can be maneuvered by devising catalytic platform based on numerous catalysts with predominant electronic, chemical and physical properties, which endow the catalysts with efficient electrons transportation, abundant active sites, and sufficient oxygen adsorption for H2 O2 generation. Furthermore, this review also discusses the formation mechanism of H2 O2 by 2e-ORR and 2e-WOR, as well as its functional process of activating and removing pollutants, and summarizes the design principles of various catalysts by focusing on the formation of H2 O2 . We finally highlight the specific challenges and prospects related to the utilization of catalysts and envision the possible future development trends in the fields of pollutant removal.

Abstract
Lignin degradation was performed using a Fenton-like oxidation reaction with Cu supported on MCM-41, derived from bagasse (Cu-BG-MCM-41), as the catalyst. The optimal degradation conditions required to remove a predetermined amount of lignin (95%) from an effluent were determined. Based on the literature review and preliminary tests, the critical parameters determining the operating conditions include temperature, catalyst loading, pH, H2O2 concentration, and reaction time. The experimental design and working conditions were based on Box-Behnken design. The reaction products were analyzed via UV-vis and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to predict the optimum operating conditions for the Fenton-like reaction for 95% lignin degradation, which were a temperature of 80 °C, initial pH of 9, H2O2 concentration of 1 mL/L, catalyst loading of 1.0 g/L, and reaction time of 30 min. These conditions were validated three times and the achieved percentage of lignin degradation was 95 ± 2%. This is close to the value of 95% used in the RSM to determine the optimum operating conditions, thus verifying the model. The catalyst was stable and functioned well under the optimum design conditions. Moreover, the reaction could be used to obtain high-value intermediate products if stopped after 5 min. Finally, lignin was degraded into vanillin, a higher-value product. As expected, the proposed Fenton-like approach expanded the pH working range from less than 4 to 5-9.

Abstract
The enrichment and transport of antibiotics in the environments pose many potential hazards to aquatic animals and humans, which has become one of the public health challenges worldwide. As a widely used class of antibiotics, fluoroquinolones (FQs) generally accumulated in the environments as traditional sewage treatment plants cannot completely remove them. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been shown to be a promising method for the abatement of antibiotic contamination. In this review, influencing factors and relevant mechanisms of FQs removal by various AOPs were summarized. Compared with other AOPs, photocatalytic ozone may be considered as a cost-effective method for degrading FQs. Finally, the benefits and application restrictions of AOPs were discussed, along with proposed research directions to provide new insights into the control of FQs pollutant via AOPs in practical applications.

Abstract
The present work investigates the effect of ultrasounds in the performance of combined advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) on the degradation of formaldehyde (HCHO)-polluted aqueous solutions for potential application in wastewater treatment. Different heterogeneous nanostructured catalysts based on TiO2 and FeSO4 for photocatalysis and the Fenton process were employed after electrospray deposition on electrospun nanofibrous membranes. Such systems were tested, without the use of any added hydrogen peroxide, by varying the combinations among the selected AOPs in a batch reactor configuration. The results show that, in the absence of a Fenton reaction, ultrasounds provided a significantly increased formaldehyde photocatalytic abatement, probably by increasing the concentration of active species through a different set of reactions while providing a favorable mass transfer regime by the cavitational effect. Due to the faster kinetics of the photo-Fenton process, thanks to its partial homogeneous nature, such a beneficial effect is more limited for the sono-photo-Fenton configuration. On the other hand, the employment of a sono-photocatalytic-Fenton process revealed a synergic effect that provided the best results, reducing the formaldehyde concentration to less than 99% after 240 min. Further analysis showed that, due to a mutual influence, only a tailored TiO2/FeSO4 ratio on the membranes was able to display the best performance.

Abstract
The aim of this work has been to study the possible degradation path of BPA under the Fenton reaction, namely to determine the energetically favorable intermediate products and to compare the cytotoxicity of BPA and its intermediate products of degradation. The DFT calculations of the Gibbs free energy at M06-2X/6-311G(d,p) level of theory showed that the formation of hydroquinone was the most energetically favorable path in a water environment. To explore the cytotoxicity the erythrocytes were incubated with BPA and three intermediate products of its degradation, i.e., phenol, hydroquinone and 4-isopropylphenol, in the concentrations 5-200 μg/mL, for 1, 4 and 24 h. BPA induced the strongest hemolytic changes in erythrocytes, followed by hydroquinone, phenol and 4-isopropylphenol. In the presence of hydroquinone, the highest level of RONS was observed, whereas BPA had the weakest effect on RONS generation. In addition, hydroquinone decreased the level of GSH the most. Generally, our results suggest that a preferable BPA degradation path under a Fenton reaction should be controlled in order to avoid the formation of hydroquinone. This is applicable to the degradation of BPA during waste water treatment and during chemical degradation in sea water.

Abstract
High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (uHPLC) to monitor atrazine (ATZ) degradation process of Fenton/ultrasound (US) treatment in real time. Samples were automatically taken through a peristaltic pump, and then analysed by HPLC-HRMS. The injection in the mass spectrometer was performed every 4 min for 2 h. ATZ and its degradation metabolites were sampled and identified. Online Fenton experiments in different equivalents of Fenton reagents, online US experiments with/without Fe2+ and offline Fenton experiments were conducted. Higher equivalents of Fenton reagents promoted the degradation rate of ATZ and the generation of the late-products such as Ammeline (AM). Besides, adding Fe2+ accelerated ATZ degradation in US treatment. In offline Fenton, the degradation rate of ATZ was higher than that of online Fenton, suggesting the offline samples were still reacting in the vial. The online analysis precisely controls the effect of reagents over time through automatic sampling and rapid detection, which greatly improves the measurement accuracy. The experimental set up proposed here both prevents the degradation of potentially unstable metabolites and provides a good way to track each metabolite.

Abstract
In this account, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) were comprehensively reviewed, which were based on electro-Fenton and photo-Fenton processes and correlative membrane filtration technology. Specifically, this review focuses on the fundamental principles and applications of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on a series of nanomaterials, and we compare the pros and cons of each method and point out the perspective. Further, the emerging reviews regarding AOPs rarely emphasize the involved ROS and consider the convenience of radical classification and transformation mechanism, such a review is of paramount importance to be needed. Owing to the strong oxidation ability of radical (e.g., •OH, O2•-, and SO4•-) and non-radical (e.g., 1O2 and H2O2), these ROS would attack the organic contaminants of emerging concern, thus achieving the goal of environmental remediation. Hopefully, this review can offer detailed theoretical guidance for the researchers, and we believe it able to offer the frontier knowledge of AOPs for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).

Abstract
Pyrite and engineering carbon materials have received increasing attention for their catalytic potential in Fenton reactions due to their extensive sources and low cost. However, effects of carbon materials on the degradation of pollutants by pyrite-catalyzed heterogeneous Fenton oxidation have not been fully understood. In this study, the performance of pyrite-catalyzed heterogeneous Fenton system on the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) was investigated in the presence of activated carbon (AC), biochar (BC), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Synchronous and asynchronous experiments (adsorption and catalysis) were conducted to elucidate the roles of the carbon materials in pyrite-catalyzed Fenton reactions. The results demonstrated that all the three carbon materials accelerated the pyrite-catalyzed Fenton oxidation of CIP. Under the experimental conditions, the reaction rates, which were obtained by fitting the synchronous experimental results with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, of pyrite/AC, pyrite/BC and pyrite/CNTs with H2O2 for the removal of CIP were 8.28, 3.40 and 3.37 times faster than that of pyrite alone. Adsorption experiments and characterization analysis showed that AC had a higher adsorption capacity than BC and CNTs for CIP, which enabled it to distinguish itself in assisting the pyrite-catalyzed Fenton oxidation. In the presence of the carbon materials, the adsorption effect should not be neglected when studying the catalytic performance of pyrite. Free radical quenching experiments and electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR) were used to detect and identify free radical species in the reactions. The results showed that hydroxyl radicals (•OH) contributed significantly to the degradation of CIP. The addition of carbon materials promoted the production of •OH, which favored the degradation of CIP. The results of this study suggested that the synergistic effect of oxidation and adsorption promoted the removal of CIP in pyrite/carbon materials/H2O2 systems, and coupling pyrite and carbon materials shows great potential in treating antibiotic wastewater.

Abstract
A 4-set Venn diagram model oriented to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) data was developed to decipher the fate of dissolved organic matters (DOM) in three-stage continuous wastewater treatment processes. In total, 24 typical wastewater treatment modes conceptualized into a combination of three stages were generalized so that this model can be applied to all common types of actual wastewater treatment processes. As a result, eight kinds of native DOM and seven kinds of wastewater-produced (WW-produced) DOM separately represented by each proper subset of the 4-set Venn diagram could be identified so as to offer a molecular profile of DOM transformation. The 15 proper subsets of the 4-set Venn diagram could then explain how different wastewater treatment units work. Transformation rates of each DOM molecular formula can be estimated as a semiquantitative result. We further discussed the relationship between the transformation rates and proper subsets. As a proof of concept, the 4-set Venn diagram model was successfully applied in a complicated full-scale mature leachate treatment process with nine treatment units. This model can help to overcome the challenging task of data mining when applying HRMS and reduce the workload of data screening in the subsequent structural annotation.

Abstract
A series of ferrocenyl-containing γ-hydroxy-γ-lactam tetramates were prepared in 2-3 steps through ring opening-ring closure (RORC) process of γ-ylidene-tetronate derivatives in the presence of ferrocenyl alkylamines. The compounds were screened in vitro for their antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine-sensitive (3D7) and chloroquine-resistant (W2) clones of P. falciparum, displaying activity in the range of 0.12-100 μM, with generally good resistance index. The most active ferrocene in these series exhibited IC50 equal to 0.09 μM (3D7) and 0.12 μM (W2). The low cytotoxicity of the ferrocenyl-containing γ-hydroxy-γ-lactam tetramates against Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial (HUVEC) cell line demonstrated selective antiparasitic activity. The redox properties of these ferrocene-derived tetramates were studied and physico-biochemical studies evidenced that these derivatives can exert potent antimalarial activities via a mechanism distinct from ferroquine.

Abstract
Paracetamol (PCT), also known as acetaminophen, is a drug used to treat fever and mild to moderate pain. After consumption by animals and humans, it is excreted through the urine to the sewer systems, wastewater treatment plants, and other aquatic/natural environments. It has been detected in trace amounts in effluents of wastewater plant treatments, sewage sludge, hospital wastewaters, surface waters, and drinking water. PCT can cause genetic code damage, oxidative degradation of lipids, and denaturation of protein in cells, and its toxicity has been well-proven in bacteria, algae, macrophytes, protozoan, and fishes. To avoid its harmful health problems over living beings, powerful Fenton and Fenton-based treatments as pre-eminent advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been developed because of the inefficient treatment by conventional treatments. This paper presents a comprehensive and critical review over the application of such Fenton technologies to remove PCT from natural waters, synthetic wastewaters, and real wastewaters. The characteristics and main results obtained using Fenton, photo-Fenton, electro-Fenton, and photoelectro-Fenton are described, making special emphasis in the oxidative action of the generated reactive oxygen species. Hybrid processes based on the coupling with ultrasounds, gamma radiation, photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, zero-valent iron-activated persulfate, adsorption, and microbial fuel cells, are analyzed. Sequential treatments involving the initiation with plasma gliding arc discharge and post-biological process are detailed. Comparative results with other available AOPs are also described and discussed. Finally, 13 aromatic by-products and 9 short-linear aliphatic carboxylic acid detected during the PCT removal by Fenton and Fenton-based processes are reported, with the proposal of three parallel pathways for its initial degradation.

Abstract
Disinfection is an essential and significant process for water treatment to protect the environment and human beings from pathogenic infections. In this study, disinfection through the generation of hydroxyl (Fenton process (FP)) and sulfate (Fenton-like process (FLP)) radicals was validated and optimized. The optimization was carried out in synthetic water through an experimental design methodology using the bacteria Escherichia coli as a model microorganism. Different variables were evaluated in both processes: precursor concentration (peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and H2O2), catalyst concentration (Fe+2), and pH in the Fenton process. After that, the optimized conditions (FP: 132.36 mM H2O2, 0.56 mM Fe+2 and 3.26 pH; FLP: 3.82 mM PMS and 0.40 mM Fe+2) were applied to real matrices from wastewater treatment plants. The obtained results suggest that both processes are promising for disinfection due to the high oxidant power of hydroxyl and sulfate radicals.

Abstract
In the field of nanomedicine, there is a tendency of matching designed nanomaterials with a suitable type of orthotopic cancer model, not just a casual subcutaneous one. Under this condition, knowing the specific features of the chosen cancer model is the priority, then introducing a proper therapy strategy using designed nanomaterials. Here, the Fenton chemistry is combined with zinc peroxide nanoparticles in the treatment of orthotopic liver cancer which has a "chemical factory" including that liver is the main place for iron storage, metabolism, and also the main metabolic sites for the majority of ingested substances, guaranteeing customized and enhanced chemodynamic therapy and normal liver cells protection as well. The good results in vitro and in vivo can set an inspiring example for exploring and utilizing suitable nanomaterials in corresponding cancer models, ensuring well-fitness of nanomaterials for disease and satisfactory therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Mild photothermal therapy (PTT, <45 °C) can prevent tumor metastasis and heat damage to normal tissue, compared with traditional PTT (>50 °C). However, its therapeutic efficacy is limited owing to the hypoxic tumor environment and tumor thermoresistance owing to the overproduction of heat shock proteins (HSPs). Herein, a near-infrared (NIR)-triggered theranostic nanoplatform (GA-PB@MONs@LA) is designed for synergistic mild PTT and enhanced Fenton nanocatalytic therapy against hypoxic tumors. The nanoplatform is fabricated by the confined formation of Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles in mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MONs), followed by the loading of gambogic acid (GA), an HSP90 inhibitor, and coating with thermo-sensitive lauric acid (LA). Upon NIR irradiation, the photothermal effect (44 °C) of PB not only induces apoptosis of tumor cells but also triggers the on-demand release of GA, inhibiting the production of HSP90. Moreover, the delivered heat simultaneously enhances the catalase-like and Fenton activity of PB@MONs@LA in an acidic tumor microenvironment, relieving the tumor hypoxia and promoting the generation of highly toxic •OH. In addition, the nanoplatform enables magnetic resonance/photoacoustic dual-modal imaging. Thus, this study describes a distinctive paradigm for the development of NIR-triggered theranostic nanoplatforms for enhanced cancer therapy.
