Abstract
The iron mineral-catalyzed degradation of cephalosporin antibiotics with H2O2 occurs ubiquitously in nature. Despite numerous studies, the effects of environmental conditions on reactive species production and degradation processes of cephalosporins remain unclear. Here, we report the iron mineral of goethite as the efficient and heterogenous catalyst for the degradation of cefradine (CRD) via H2O2 activation under different conditions involving pH and visible light irradiation. Results show that the CRD removal rate is highly dependent on pH and visible light irradiation. Interestingly, when the pH ranges from 4.0 to 7.0, the degradation intermediates of CRD under dark are the same as under visible light conditions in the goethite/H2O2 system. And, the ratio of CRD degradation rate constant (kLight/kDark) reaches a maximum at pH 5.0, suggesting that CRD existing as zwitterion species is preferable for its removal with photoassistance. The mechanism investigation reveals that both •OH and ≡[FeIVO]2+ oxidants are generated during the reaction process, and •OH is the major oxidant at acidic pH, while ≡[FeIVO]2+ is more likely to be formed with photoassistance at near-neutral pH. According to UPLC-MS/MS analysis, CRD degradation likely happens via hydrogen atom abstraction from cyclohexadienyl by •OH, thioether and olefin oxidation by ≡[FeIVO]2+, and FeIII-catalyzed hydrolytic cleavage of β-lactam ring. These findings highlight the vital roles of pH and photoassistance in the heterogeneously activated H2O2 with goethite for CRD degradation.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and their host antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) are widely detected in the environment and pose a threat to human health. Traditional disinfection in water treatment plants cannot effectively remove ARGs and ARB. This study explored the potential of a heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like process utilizing a hierarchical macro-mesoporous Co3O4-SiO2 (MM CS) catalyst for activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to inactivate ARB and degrade the intracellular ARGs. A typical gram-negative antibiotic-resistant bacteria called Pseudomonas sp. HLS-6 was used as a model ARB. A completed inactivation of ARB at ∼107 CFU/mL was achieved in 30 s, and an efficient removal rate of more than 4.0 log for specific ARGs (sul1 and intI1) was achieved within 60 min by the MM CS-based heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like process under visible light and neutral pH conditions. Mechanism investigation revealed that •O2- and 1O2 were the vital reactive species for ARB inactivation and ARG degradation. The formation and transformation of the active species were proposed. Furthermore, the hierarchical macro-mesoporous structure of MM CS provided excellent optical and photoelectrochemical properties that promoted the cycle of Co3+/Co2+ and the effective utilization of PMS. This process was validated to be effective in various water matrices, including deionized water, underground water, source water, and secondary effluent wastewater. Collectively, this work demonstrated that the MM CS-based heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like process is a promising technology for controlling the spread of antibiotic resistance in aquatic environments.

Abstract
Photo-Fenton process is an advanced oxidation technology, which is used to eliminate organic pollutants in environmental pollution. In this paper, g-C3N4 quantum dots incorporated hierarchical macro-mesoporous CuO-SiO2 (MM SC-QDs) composite was successfully fabricated by a dual-template method combined with polystyrene sphere (PS) crystal and copolymer F127. With the presence of H2O2, MM SC-QDs exhibited excellent degradation performance against the antibiotic pollutant norfloxacin (NOR) under visible-light assisted heterogeneous Fenton process at neutral condition, which was 27 times higher than that of the Bulk CuO-SiO2. Interconnected macropores, together with abundant mesopores effectively expand specific surface area and improve mass transfer. In addition, the g-C3N4 QDs served as the separation center for photogenerated charges, promoting the separation and migration of the charge carriers. Wherein, the long-lived photogenerated electrons were effectively separated and transferred to the surface of CuO-SiO2, which accelerated the reduction rate of Cu2+ to Cu+, enhancing the photo-Fenton-like catalytic activity. This stable, efficient, and environmentally friendly Cu-based heterogeneous photo-Fenton-like catalyst is expected to become an effective implementation in organic pollution removal. Meanwhile, this paper proves that Cu-based materials can activate H2O2 to generate singlet oxygen (1O2) for the degradation of organic pollutants. The transformation mechanism of 1O2 was clarified, which is helpful to better understand the Fenton-like reaction process of Cu-based materials.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) CuO/TiO2 hybrid heterostructure nanorod arrays (NRs) with noble-metal-free composition, fabricated by template-assisted low-cost processes, were used as the photo-Fenton-like catalyst for dye degradation. Here, CuO NRs were deposited into anodic aluminum oxide templates by electrodeposition method annealed at various temperatures, followed by deposition of TiO2 thin films through E-gun evaporation, resulting in the formation of CuO/TiO2 p-n heterojunction. The distribution of elements and compositions of the CuO/TiO2 p-n heterojunction were analyzed by EDS mapping and EELS profiles, respectively. In the presence of H2O2, CuO/TiO2 hybrid structure performed more efficiently than CuO NRs for Rhodamine B degradation under the irradiation of 500-W mercury-xenon arc lamp. This study demonstrated the effect of length of CuO NRs, on the photo-degradation performance of CuO NRs as well as CuO/TiO2 heterostructure. The optimized CuO/TiO2 hybrid NR array structure exhibited the highest photo-degradation activity, and the mechanism and role of photo-Fenton acting as the catalyst in photo-degradation of dye was also investigated.

Abstract
To enhance the catalytic and separation properties of akaganéite nanoparticles, rice spike-like akaganéite impregnated graphene oxide (β-FeOOH@GO) nanocomposite was fabricated through facile hydrolysis. The apparent first-order decolorization rate of methylene blue (MB) in β-FeOOH@GO catalyzed photo Fenton-like system was 0.6322 min-1 about 3 folds that of prinstine β-FeOOH nanoparticles. The degradation intermediates of MB adsorbed on the solid surface of β-FeOOH@GO were comprehensively identified with time of flight-secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) for the first time. Newly identified sulfoxide intermediates, sulphone intermediates and desulfurization intermediates and N-demethylaton or dedimethamine intermediates were reported for the first time. The proposed degradation pathway of MB predominantly proceeded with the rupture of phenothiazine rings oxided with OH, and singlet oxygen (1O2) radicals, which fully extending the reaction pathways proposed in previous work in literature. The enhanced catalytic activity of β-FeOOH@GO was ascribed to the formation of heterojunctions confirmed by the presence of FeOC chemical bonds through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The complete elimination of MB and its acute toxicity to Luminous bacteria showed that β-FeOOH@GO would be served as a highly efficient Fenton-like catalyst for treatment of high concentration refractory organic contaminant.
