Abstract
A balanced flavor is a major quality attribute of orange juice. Formation of 4-vinylguaiacol during storage can lead to an undesirable clove-like off-flavor. However, clove-like off-flavors were occasionally reported despite low 4-vinylguaiacol concentrations, suggesting an alternative molecular background. Application of gas chromatography-olfactometry and aroma extract dilution analysis to an orange juice with a pronounced clove-like off-flavor resulted in the identification of 5-vinylguaiacol. The compound showed the same odor as 4-vinylguaiacol, but was previously unknown in orange juice. In five of six commercial orange juices with clove-like off-flavors, 5-vinylguaiacol was even more odor-active than 4-vinylguaiacol. Spiking and model studies suggested that 5-vinylguaiacol is formed during pasteurization from the natural orange juice component hesperidin and residual peracetic acid used as cleaning agent by a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. An activity-guided screening approach confirmed the role of hesperidin as 5-vinylguaiacol precursor. In conclusion, peracetic acid should no longer be used in orange juice processing plants.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of allografts and autografts has been met with mixed views on whether allografts are a suitable alternative to autografts. QUESTION We aimed to investigate if chemically sterilized allografts show similar rerupture rates to those reported in the literature for allografts and autografts in anterior (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligaments (PCL) and complex knee surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective data on knee reconstructions performed between 2011 and 2015 with tendon/ligamnet allografts sterilized with peracetic acid were collected in the form of a questionnaire. The inclusion criteria of 2 years for each patient were met by 38 patients, representing 22 ACL reconstructions, 5 PCL reconstructions, 3 OTHER surgeries, including the Larson technique and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction and 8 COMPLEX surgeries. The main endpoints were rerupture and complication rate. Secondary endpoints included stability of the knee (Lachman test, Pivot shift test) and the range of motion. RESULTS The rerupture rate was 7.9% (3 grafts). Reruptures only occurred in the ACL group. No reruptures were observed in the PCL, OTHER and COMPLEX surgery groups. Stability improved significantly after surgery and the range of motion returned to values similar to that of healthy knees. CONCLUSIONS Tendon allografts sterilized with peracetic acid show promising low rerupture rates and good clinical scores and the results are comparable to the literature on autografts and other allografts.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) emerges as a promising disinfectant and oxidant applied worldwide, and its application has been broadened for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in wastewater treatment. Current studies on transition metal-activated AOPs utilized relatively high concentrations of catalysts, leading to potential secondary pollution concerns. This study boosts the understanding of reaction mechanism in PAA activation system under a low-level concentration. Herein, trace levels of Co(II) (1 μM) and practical dosages of PAA (50-250 μM) were employed, achieving noticeable ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation efficiencies (75.8-99.0%) within 20 min. Two orders of magnitude of the CIP's antibacterial activity significantly decreased after Co(II)/PAA AOP treatment, which suggested the effective ecological risk control capability of the reaction system. The degradation performed well in various water matrices and the primary reactive species is proposed to be CoHPO4-OO(O)CCH3 complexes with scavenging tests and electron paramagnetic resonance tests. The degradation pathway of fluoroquinolones including piperazine ring-opening (dealkylation and oxidation), defluorination, and decarboxylation, were systematically elucidated. This study boosts a comprehensive and novel understanding of PAA-based AOP for CIP degradation.

Abstract
The presented research concerns the use of nickel cobaltite nanoparticles (NiCo2O4 NPs) for the heterogeneous activation of peracetic acid and application of NiCo2O4-PAA system for degradation 10 organic micropollutants from the group of bisphenols. The bisphenols removal (initial concentration 1 μM) process was optimized by selecting the appropriate process conditions. The optimal amount of catalyst (115 mg/L), peracetic acid (PAA) concentration (7 mM) and pH (7) were determined using response surface analysis in the Design of Experiment. Then, NiCo2O4 NPs were used to check the possibility of reuse in subsequent oxidation cycles. The work also attempts to explain the mechanism of oxidation of the studied micropollutants. The participation of the sorption process on the catalyst was excluded and based on the experiments with radical scavengers it can be concluded that the oxidation proceeds in a radical pathway, mainly with participation of O2•- radicals. Experiments conducted in real water matrices exhibit low impact on degradation efficiency. Toxicity tests with green alga Acutodesmus obliquus and aquatic plant Lemna minor showed that post-reaction mixture influenced growth and the content of photosynthetic pigments in concentration dependent manner.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Immunocompromised patients are at an increased risk of severe legionella infections. We present the results of an outbreak investigation initiated following a fatal case of hospital-acquired legionellosis linked to contaminated water from a toilet-flushing cistern. Additionally, we provide experimental data on the growth of Legionella spp. in flushing cisterns and propose a straightforward protocol for prevention. METHODS We monitored the growth of Legionella spp. in the building's hot- and cold-water systems using quantitative bacterial culture on selective agar. Molecular typing of Legionella pneumophila isolates from the infected patient and the water system was conducted through core-genome multi-locus sequence typing (cgMLST). RESULTS Legionella contamination in the hospital building's cold-water system was significantly higher than in the hot-water system and significantly higher in toilet flushing cistern's water compared with cold water from bathroom sinks and showers. Isolates from the patient and from the flushing cistern of the patient's bathroom were identical by cgMLST. In an experimental setting, daily toilet flushing for a period of 21 days resulted in a 67% reduction in the growth of Legionella spp. in the water of toilet flushing cisterns. Moreover, a one-time disinfection of cisterns with peracetic acid, followed by daily flushing, decreased legionella growth to less than 1% over a period of at least seven weeks in these setting. CONCLUSIONS One-time disinfection of highly contaminated cisterns with peracetic acid and daily toilet flushing as short-term measure can significantly reduce legionella contamination in flushing cisterns. These measures may aid in preventing legionella infection among immunocompromised patients.

Abstract
The escalating presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in aquatic ecosystems underscores the critical role of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in mitigating antibiotic resistance. Disinfection is the final, pivotal step in WWTPs, and it is essential to control the dissemination of ARB before water discharge. This study utilized both phenotypic analysis and transcriptome (RNA-seq) approach to investigate the efficiency and mechanisms of disinfection using chlorination, ultraviolet (UV), and peracetic acid (PAA) on multidrug-resistant bacteria (MRB). Our results demonstrated that the use of 100 mg min L-1 of chlorine, 8.19 mJ cm-2 of UV irradiation or 50 min mg L-1 of PAA significantly reduced the abundance of MRB. Intriguingly, RNA-seq clarified distinct mechanisms of chlorination and UV disinfection. UV radiation triggered the SOS response to cope with DNA damage, induced the expression of multi-drug resistance genes by increasing the expression of efflux pump transporters. UV radiation also promoted the absorption of iron through chelation and transportation to participate in various cell life processes. Chlorination, on the other hand, significantly up-regulated osmotic response elements, including the synthesis of glycine betaine, iron-sulfur clusters, and related transporters. Both chlorination and UV significantly down-regulated key metabolic pathways (P < 0.05), inhibiting the process of amino acid synthesis and energy metabolism. Imbalance in energy homeostasis was the most important factor leading to cytotoxicity. These results provide useful insights into optimizing the wastewater disinfection process in order to prevent the dissemination of ARB in aquatic environment.

Abstract
Recently, peracetic acid (PAA) based Fenton (-like) processes have received much attention in water treatment. However, these processes are limited by the sluggish Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox circulation efficiency. In this study, L-cysteine (L-Cys), an environmentally friendly electron donor, was applied to enhance the Fe3O4/PAA process for the sulfamethoxazole (SMX) abatement. Surprisingly, the L-Cys incorporation was found not only to enhance the SMX degradation rate constant by 3.2 times but also to switch the Fe(IV) dominated nonradical pathway into the •OH dominated radical pathway. Experiment and theoretical calculation result elucidated -NH2, -SH, and -COOH of L-Cys can increase Fe solubilization by binding to the Fe sites of Fe3O4, while -SH of L-Cys can promote the reduction of bounded/dissolved Fe(III). Similar SMX conversion pathways driven by the Fe3O4/PAA process with or without L-Cys were revealed. Excessive L-Cys or PAA, high pH and the coexisting HCO3-/H2PO4- exhibit inhibitory effects on SMX degradation, while Cl- and humic acid barely affect the SMX removal. This work advances the knowledge of the enhanced mechanism insights of L-Cys toward heterogeneous Fenton (-like) processes and provides experimental data for the efficient treatment of sulfonamide antibiotics in the water treatment.

Two sequential extraction protocols were investigated: 1) water followed by acetone/water (4:1, v:v), and 2) acetone followed by acetone/water (4:1, v:v), both performed at 50 °C. The first protocol had a higher extraction yield of 51 %, and the obtained extractives featured a higher total phenolic (531.4 ± 22.0 mg-GAE/g) and flavonoid (487.3 ± 16.9 mg-QE/g) than the second protocol (495.4 ± 32.8 mg-GAE/g and 310.6 ± 31.4 mg-QE/g, respectively). The remaining extractive-free fibers were processed by bleaching using either 2 wt% sodium hydroxide with 3 wt% hydrogen peroxide or 4-5 wt% peracetic acid. Considering bleaching efficiency, yield, and process sustainability, the single bleaching treatment with 5 wt% of peracetic acid was selected as the most promising approach to yield cellulose-rich fibers. The samples were analyzed by methanolysis to determine the amount and type of poly- and oligosaccharides and studied by 13C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis. The products obtained from the peels demonstrate significant potential for use in various sectors, including food, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and paper production.

Abstract
A novel 3D bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF(Fe-Co)) was successfully prepared and its performance on sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal in advanced oxidation process (AOP) based on peracetic acid (PAA) was evaluated. MOF(Fe-Co) exhibited an efficient catalytic performance on PAA activation for SMX degradation under neutral condition. Increasing PAA concentration could enhance SMX removal, while the variation of MOF(Fe-Co) dosage from 0.05 to 0.2 g/L had an inappreciable effect on SMX removal. According to the results of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analyses and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, catalytic reactions mainly occurred on the surface of MOF(Fe-Co). Organic radicals (i.e., CH3C(O)OO• and CH3C(O)O•) were demonstrated to be the predominant reactive radicals for SMX degradation by MOF(Fe-Co)/PAA through radical quenching experiments. The presence of Cl- could enhance the degradation of SMX by MOF(Fe-Co)/PAA, while HCO3- and natural organic matter inhibited SMX degradation severely. Five identified degradation products were detected in this system and four possible SMX transformation pathways were proposed, including amino oxidation, S-N bond cleavage, coupling reaction and hydroxylation.

Abstract
With the growing complexity and severity of water pollution, it has become increasingly challenging to effectively remove contaminants or inactivate microorganisms just by traditional chemical oxidants such as O3, chlorine, Fe(VI) and Mn(VII). Up till now, numerous studies have indicated that these oxidants in combination with peroxides (i.e., hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), peroxymonosulfate (PMS), peracetic acid (PAA) and periodate (PI)) exhibited excellent synergistic oxidation. This paper provided a comprehensive review on the combination of aforementioned oxidant-peroxide applied in water and wastewater treatments. From one aspect, the paper thoroughly elucidated the synergy mechanism of each oxidant-peroxide combination in turn. Among these combinations, H2O2 or PMS generally performed as the activator of four traditional oxidants above to accelerate reactive species generation and therein various reaction mechanisms, including electron transfer, O atom abstraction and oxo ligand substitution, were involved. In addition, although neither PAA nor PI was able to directly activate Fe(VI) and Mn(VII), they could act as the stabilizer of intermediate reactive iron/manganese species to improve the latter utilization efficiency. From another aspect, this paper summarized the influence of water quality parameters, such as pH, inorganic ions and natural organic matter (NOM), on the oxidation performance of most combined systems. Finally, this paper highlighted knowledge gaps and identified areas that require further research.

Abstract
Iron-based PAA activation process is a promising advanced oxidation process for water decontamination which depends on Fe(II) as the main reactive site for PAA activation, resulting in various reactive oxidative species (ROSs) generation. For practical application, the impact of water matrix chloride ion (Cl-) on ROSs production and contaminants removal should be carefully considered. In this study, it's found that the introduction of Cl- (0.1-10 mM) could significantly enhance the reaction rate of the rapid stage (kobs1) up to 2.15 times at the initial pH of 4.25 in the Fe(II)/PAA system. Further studies demonstrated that the improved removal capacity of NAP resulted from Cl- induced R-O• generation as indicated by the exposure dose of R-O• increasing from 7.74 × 10-11 M•s to 1.44 × 10-10 M•s, rather than chlorine-containing radicals' generation. DFT calculation results suggested that the formed Fe(II)-Cl- complexes could easily activate PAA to generate more ROSs for NAP removal. Moreover, Fe(II)/PAA treatment can alleviate the biological toxicity of pollutants via both the Escherichia coli test and toxicity assessment. The obtained new knowledge manifested that Cl- can boost ROSs generation and conversion in iron-based PAA systems, providing guidance for the efficient decontamination of chlorine-containing sewage with PAA-based AOPs.

Abstract
In order to accelerate the start-up of biological activated carbon (BAC) filters and enhance ammonium (NH4+-N) removal performance, three substrates (sucrose and/or nano manganese dioxide (nMnO2)) pre-loaded BAC filters were set up to investigate the pollutants removals and microbiological characteristics for a long-term operation of 197 days. The average NH4+-N removal performance treated by the sucrose coupled with nMnO2 loaded BAC filter was the highest (71.18 %), which was 3.83 times of that by the control filter (18.58 %). 29 % of NH4+-N treated by the sucrose coupled with nMnO2 loaded BAC removed through the traditional nitrification and denitrification, or simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) pathways according to the calculation of the alkalinity consumption (6.12 mmol/L). There was no leakage of carbon source and Mn, and no accumulation of nitrite from the substrates loaded BAC. The dominant bacteria in the sucrose coupled with nMnO2 loaded BAC were Dechloromona (accounting for 8.02% of the total bacterial) and Acidaminobacter (accounting for 15.16% of total bacterial) on the Day 180, which had the capacity of nitrification or denitrification. NH4+-N and micropollutants removals treated by the combined process of peracetic acid (PAA) pre-oxidation and substrates loaded BAC were significant due to the generation of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) (5.98 ± 1.93 μg-C/mL) by PAA (100 μM)/Fe2+ pre-oxidation and the higher biomass ((4.57 ± 3.07) × 107 cells/g DW BAC) in the sucrose coupled with nMnO2 loaded BAC filter. Therefore, nMnO2 coupling carbon source pre-loading strategy could not only enhance initial colonization, but also promote pollutants removals for long-term operation.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) pretreatment is considered as a novel and effective chemical pretreatment method for sludge. However, there is little information available on potential mechanisms of how PAA pretreatment affects sludge anaerobic digestion (AD). To fill the knowledge gap, this study investigated the effects and potential mechanisms of PAA pretreatment on sludge AD systems from physicochemical and microbiological perspectives. Batch experiments resulted that biogas production was enhanced by PAA pretreatment and the highest cumulative biogas yield (297.94 mL/g VS (volatile solid)) was obtained with 2 mM/g VS of PAA pretreatment. Kinetic model analysis illustrated that the PAA pretreatment improved the biogas potential (Pt) of sludge AD, but prolonged the lag phase (λ) of AD. Mechanistic studies revealed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) (HO•, O2-•, 1O2 and CH3C(O)OO•) were the major intermediate products of PAA decomposition. These ROS effectively promoted the decomposition and solubilization of sludge, and provided more biodegradable organic matter for the following AD reactions. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing showed that some functional microorganisms associated with hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis as well as methanogenesis, such as Hydrogenispora, Romboutsia, Longivirga, Methanosarcina and Methanosaet, were significantly enriched in reactors pretreated with PAA. Redundancy analysis and variation partitioning analysis indicated that functional microorganisms were significantly correlated with intermediate metabolites (soluble carbohydrate, soluble protein, soluble chemical oxygen demand and volatile fatty acids) and cumulative biogas production. This study provides a fresh understanding of the effects and mechanisms of PAA pretreatment on sludge AD, updates the insights into the response of functional microorganisms to PAA pretreatment, and the findings obtained might provide a fundamental basis for chemical pretreatment of sludge AD using oxidants.

Abstract
In this work, boron (B) was used to promote Fe3+/peracetic acid (Fe3+/PAA) for the degradation of sulfamethazine (SMT). An SMT degradation efficiency of 9.1% was observed in the Fe3+/PAA system over 60 min, which was significantly increased to 99.3% in the B/Fe3+/PAA system over 10 min. The B/Fe3+/PAA process also exhibited superior resistance to natural substances, excellent adaptability to different harmful substances, and good removal of antibiotics in natural fresh water samples. The mechanism of action of boron for Fe3+ reduction was determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and electrochemical tests. The dominant role of •OH was confirmed using quenching experiments, electron spin resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and quantitative tests. Organic radicals (R-O•) and Fe(IV) also significantly contribute to the removal of SMT. DFT calculations on the reaction between Fe2+ and the PAA were conducted to further determine the contribution from •OH, R-O•, and Fe(IV) from the perspective of thermodynamics and the reaction pathways. Different boron dosages, Fe3+ dosages, and initial pH values were also investigated in the B/Fe3+/PAA system to study their effect of SMT removal and the production of the reactive species. Fe(IV) production determined the kR-O•+Fe(IV) value suggesting that Fe(IV) may play a more important role than R-O•. A comparison of the results with other processes has also proved that the procedure described in this study (B/Fe3+/PAA) is an effective method for the degradation of antibiotics.

Abstract
In the realm of wastewater treatment, the power of ferrate (Fe(VI)) and peracetic acid (PAA) as oxidants stands out. But their combined might is where the enhancement truly lies. Their collaborative effect intensifies, but the underlying mechanics, especially across varying pH levels and pollutant types, still lurks in obscurity. Our study delved into the sophisticated oxidation interplay among Fe(VI)-PAA, Fe(VI)-H2O2, and standalone Fe(VI) systems. Notably, at a pH of 9.0, boasting a kinetic constant of ∼0.127 M-1·s-1, the Fe(VI)-PAA system annihilated the pollutant sulfamethoxazole, outpacing its counterparts by a staggering 48.73-fold when compared to the Fe(VI)-H2O2 system and 105.58-fold when using Fe(VI) individually. The behavior of active species─such as the dynamic •OH radicals and high-valent iron species (Fe(IV)/Fe(V))─shifted with pH variations, leading to distinct degradation pathways. Our detailed exploration pinpoints the behaviors of certain species across pH levels from 3.0 to 9.0. In more acidic environments, the •OH species proved indispensable for the system's reactivity. Conversely, as the pH inclined, degradation was increasingly steered by high-valent iron species. This intensive probe demystifies Fe(VI) interactions, deepening our understanding of the capabilities of the Fe(VI)-centered system and guiding us toward cleaner water solutions. Importantly, pH value, often underappreciated, holds the reins in organic wastewater decontamination. Embracing this key player is vital as we strategize for more expansive systems in upcoming ventures.

Abstract
Introduction The cold chain conditions have been suggested to facilitate long-distance transmission of SARS-CoV-2, but it is unclear how viable the virus is on cold chain packaging materials. Methods This study used the MHV-JHM strain of murine hepatitis virus as a model organism to investigate the viability of SARS-CoV-2 on foam, plastic, cardboard, and wood sheets at different temperatures (-40°C, -20°C, and 4°C). In addition, the ability of peracetic acid and sodium hypochlorite to eliminate the MHV-JHM on plastic and cardboard sheets were also evaluated. Results The results indicate that MHV-JHM can survive on foam, plastic, or cardboard sheets for up to 28 days at -40°C and -20°C, and up to 14 days on foam and plastic surfaces at 4°C. Although viral nucleic acids were still detectable after storing at 4°C for 28 days, the corresponding virus titer was below the limit of quantification (LOQ). Discussion The study highlights that a positive nucleic acid test result may not indicate that the virus is still viable, and confirms that peracetic acid and sodium hypochlorite can effectively eliminate MHV-JHM on packaging materials under cold chain conditions.

Abstract
Peroxyacetic acid (PAA)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have attracted much attention in wastewater treatment by reason of high selectivity, long half-life reactive oxygen species (ROS), and wider applicability. In this study, cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) was applied to activate PAA for the removal of ofloxacin (OFX). The degradation of OFX could reach 83.0% via the CoFe2O4/PAA system under neutral conditions. The low concentration of co-existing anions and organic matter displayed negligible influence on OFX removal. The contributions of hydroxyl radicals (·OH), organic radicals (R-O·), and other reactive species to OFX degradation in CoFe2O4/PAA were systematically evaluated. Organic radicals (especially CH3C(O)OO·) and singlet oxygen (1O2) were verified to be the main reactive species leading to OFX destruction. The Co(II)/Co(III) redox cycle occurring on the surface of CoFe2O4 played a significant role in PAA activation. The catalytic performance of CoFe2O4 remained above 80% after five cycles. Furthermore, the ecotoxicity of OFX was reduced after treatment with the CoFe2O4/PAA system. This study will facilitate further research and development of the CoFe2O4/PAA system as a new strategy for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on peracetic acid (PAA) has been extensively concerned for the degradation of organic pollutants. In this study, metallic iron-modified sludge biochar (Fe-SBC) was employed to activate PAA for the removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The characterization results indicated that FeO and Fe2O3 were successfully loaded on the surface of the sludge biochar (SBC). Fe-SBC/PAA system achieved 92% SMX removal after 30 min. The pseudo-first-order kinetic reaction constant of the Fe-SBC/PAA system was 7.34 × 10-2 min-1, which was 2.4 times higher than the SBC/PAA system. The degradation of SMX was enhanced with increasing the Fe-SBC dosage and PAA concentration. Apart from Cl-, NO3- and SO42- had a negligible influence on the degradation of SMX. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques identified the existence of reactive species, of which CH3C(O)OO•, 1O2, and O2•- were dominant reactive species in Fe-SBC/PAA system. The effect of different water matrices on the removal of SMX was investigated. The removal of SMX in tap water and lake water were 79% and 69%, respectively. Four possible pathways for the decay of SMX were presented according to the identification of oxidation products. In addition, following the ecological structure-activity relationship model (ECOSAR) procedure and the germination experiments with lettuce seeds to predict the toxicity of the intermediates. The acute and chronic ecotoxicity of SMX solution was dramatically diminished by processing with Fe-SBC/PAA system. In general, this study offered a prospective strategy for the degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) and performic acid (PFA) are two major peroxyacid (POA) oxidants of growing usage. This study reports the first systematic evaluation of PAA, PFA, and chlorine for their disinfection byproduct (DBP) formation potential in wastewater with or without high halide (i.e., bromide or iodide) concentrations. Compared with chlorine, DBP formation by PAA and PFA was minimal in regular wastewater. However, during 24 h disinfection of saline wastewater, PAA surprisingly produced more brominated and iodinated DBPs than chlorine, while PFA effectively kept all tested DBPs at bay. To understand these phenomena, a kinetic model was developed based on the literature and an additional kinetic investigation of POA decay and DBP (e.g., bromate, iodate, and iodophenol) generation in the POA/halide systems. The results show that PFA not only oxidizes halides 4-5 times faster than PAA to the corresponding HOBr or HOI but also efficiently oxidizes HOI/IO- to IO3-, thereby mitigating iodinated DBP formation. Additionally, PFA's rapid self-decay and slow release of H2O2 limit the HOBr level over the long-term oxidation in bromide-containing water. For saline water, this paper reveals the DBP formation potential of PAA and identifies PFA as an alternative to minimize DBPs. The new kinetic model is useful to optimize oxidant selection and elucidate involved DBP chemistry.

Abstract
Metal-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) with peracetic acid (PAA) have been extensively studied to degrade micropollutants (MPs) in wastewater. Mn(II) is a commonly used homogeneous metal catalyst for oxidant activation, but it performs poorly with PAA. This study identifies that the biodegradable chelating ligand picolinic acid (PICA) can significantly mediate Mn(II) activation of PAA for accelerated MP degradation. Results show that, while Mn(II) alone has minimal reactivity toward PAA, the presence of PICA accelerates PAA loss by Mn(II). The PAA-Mn(II)-PICA system removes various MPs (methylene blue, bisphenol A, naproxen, sulfamethoxazole, carbamazepine, and trimethoprim) rapidly at neutral pH, achieving >60% removal within 10 min in clean and wastewater matrices. Coexistent H2O2 and acetic acid in PAA play a negligible role in rapid MP degradation. In-depth evaluation with scavengers and probe compounds (tert-butyl alcohol, methanol, methyl phenyl sulfoxide, and methyl phenyl sulfone) suggested that high-valent Mn species (Mn(V)) is a likely main reactive species leading to rapid MP degradation, whereas soluble Mn(III)-PICA and radicals (CH3C(O)O• and CH3C(O)OO•) are minor reactive species. This study broadens the mechanistic understanding of metal-based AOPs using PAA in combination with chelating agents and indicates the PAA-Mn(II)-PICA system as a novel AOP for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) is an emerging alternative disinfectant for saline waters; HOBr or HOCl is known as the sole species contributing to halogenation reactions during PAA oxidation and disinfection. However, new results herein strongly indicated that the brominating agents (e.g., BrCl, Br2, BrOCl, and Br2O) are generated at concentrations typically lower than HOCl and HOBr but played significant roles in micropollutants transformation. The presence of Cl- and Br- at environmentally relevant levels could greatly accelerate the micropollutants (e.g., 17α-ethinylestraiol (EE2)) transformation by PAA. The kinetic model and quantum chemical calculations collectively indicated that the reactivities of bromine species toward EE2 follow the order of BrCl > Br2 > BrOCl > Br2O > HOBr. In saline waters with elevated Cl- and Br- levels, these overlooked brominating agents influence bromination rates of more nucleophilic constituents of natural organic matter and increase the total organic bromine. Overall, this work refines our knowledge regarding the species-specific reactivity of brominating agents and highlights the critical roles of these agents in micropollutant abatement and disinfection byproduct formation during PAA oxidation and disinfection.

Abstract
The P450 enzyme CYP121 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalyzes a carbon-carbon (C-C) bond coupling cyclization of the dityrosine substrate containing a diketopiperazine ring, cyclo(l-tyrosine-l-tyrosine) (cYY). An unusual high-spin (S = 5/2) ferric intermediate maximizes its population in less than 5 ms in the rapid freeze-quenching study of CYP121 during the shunt reaction with peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid solution. We show that this intermediate can also be observed in the crystalline state by EPR spectroscopy. By developing an on-demand-rapid-mixing method for time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography with X-ray free-electron laser (tr-SFX-XFEL) technology covering the millisecond time domain and without freezing, we structurally monitored the reaction in situ at room temperature. After a 200 ms peracetic acid reaction with the cocrystallized enzyme-substrate microcrystal slurry, a ferric-hydroperoxo intermediate is observed, and its structure is determined at 1.85 Å resolution. The structure shows a hydroperoxyl ligand between the heme and the native substrate, cYY. The oxygen atoms of the hydroperoxo are 2.5 and 3.2 Å from the iron ion. The end-on binding ligand adopts a near-side-on geometry and is weakly associated with the iron ion, causing the unusual high-spin state. This compound 0 intermediate, spectroscopically and structurally observed during the catalytic shunt pathway, reveals a unique binding mode that deviates from the end-on compound 0 intermediates in other heme enzymes. The hydroperoxyl ligand is only 2.9 Å from the bound cYY, suggesting an active oxidant role of the intermediate for direct substrate oxidation in the nonhydroxylation C-C bond coupling chemistry.

Abstract
Suitable waste activated sludge (WAS) pretreatments that boost short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production from anaerobic fermentation are essential for carbon emission reduction and sludge resource utilization. This study established an efficient WAS pretreatment process combining atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) with peracetic acid (PAA). The maximum SCFA production (6.5-fold that of the control) largely increased under the optimal conditions (PAA dosage = 25 mg/g VSS (volatile suspended solids), energy consumption = 20.9 kWh/m3). APPJ/PAA pretreatment enhanced the production of multiple reactive species (including OH, CH3C(O)O, 1O2, ONOO-, O2-, and eaq-) and strengthened the effects of H2O2, heat, and light. This synergistically solubilized WAS and released organic substrates for SCFA-producing microbes. In addition, the enrichment of SCFA-producing bacteria and the decrease in SCFA-consuming bacteria favored SCFA accumulation. The key genes encoding for the main substrate metabolism and SCFA production in the metabolic pathway of fermentation were also enhanced.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) is regarded as an environmentally friendly oxidant because of its low formation of toxic byproducts. However, this study revealed the potential risk of generating disinfection byproducts (DBPs) when treating iodine-containing wastewater with PAA. The transformation efficiency of bisphenol A (BPA), a commonly detected phenolic contaminant and a surrogate for phenolic moieties in dissolved organic matter, by PAA increased rapidly in the presence of I-, which was primarily attributed to the formation of active iodine (HOI/I2) in the system. Kinetic model simulations demonstrated that the second-order rate constant between PAA and HOI was 54.0 M-1 s-1 at pH 7.0, which was lower than the generation rate of HOI via the reaction between PAA and I-. Therefore, HOI can combine with BPA to produce iodine disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs). The transformation of BPA and the generation of I-DBPs in the I-/PAA system were highly pH-dependent. Specifically, acidic conditions were more favorable for BPA degradation because of the higher reaction rates of BPA and HOI. More iodinated aromatic products were detected after 5 min of the reaction under acidic and neutral conditions, resulting in higher toxicity towards E. coli. After 12 h of the reaction, more adsorbable organic iodine (AOI) was generated at alkaline conditions because HOI was not able to efficiency transform to IO3-. The presence of H2O2 in the PAA solution played a role in the reaction with HOI, particularly under alkaline conditions. This study significantly advances the understanding of the role of I- in BPA oxidation by PAA and provides a warning to further evaluate the potential environmental risk during the treatment of iodine-bearing wastewater with PAA.

Abstract
Corn straw and sludge-derived biochar composite (BC) loaded with CoFe2O4 was successfully prepared to activate peracetic acid (PAA) for efficient degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). Within 60 s, 96 % TCH removal efficiency was achieved through a non-free radical degradation pathway, primarily driven by singlet oxygen (1O2). The mechanism involves the electron-rich groups on the biochar surface, which facilitate the cleavage of the PAA OO bond to generate •O2-/1O2 and provide electrons to induce the formation of high-valent Fe(IV) and Co(IV). The oxygen vacancies on the surface of the CoFe2O4-loaded biochar composite (CFB-2) contribute partially to 1O2 production through their transformation into a metastable intermediate with dissolved oxygen. Moreover, elevated temperatures further enhance PAA activation by CFB-2, leading to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production through PAA decomposition, thereby promoting TCH removal. This study offers new insights into the catalysis of metal-loaded biochar for efficient TCH degradation via non-free radical generation.

Abstract
The peracetic acid (PAA)-activation process has attracted much attention in wastewater treatment. However, the low electron efficiency at the interface between heterogeneous catalysts and PAA has affected its practical application. For this study, we developed a carbon nitride hollow-nanotube catalysts with dispersed Cu(I) sites (Cu(I)-TCN) for the photocatalytic activation of PAA for antibiotics degradation. The obtained Cu(I)-TCN catalyst demonstrated an enhanced capacity for visible light harvesting along with increased charge transfer rates. Specifically, the developed Cu(I)-TCN/visible light/PAA system was able to completely remove antibiotics within 20 min, with a kinetic constant that was 25 times higher than a Cu(I)-TCN/visible light system, and 83 times higher than Cu(I)-TCN/PAA systems. Scavenging experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) indicated that singlet oxygen was dominant reactive specie for sulfisoxazole (SIZ) removal. Besides, electrochemical tests and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy verified that the electron transfer efficiency of PAA activation was promoted due to the formation of inner-sphere interactions between PAA and Cu(I)-TCN, resulting in the quick removal of antibiotics. Further, after exposure to visible light, the Cu(I)-TCN excited photogenerated electrons which supplemented the electrons consumed in the reaction and drove the valence cycle of Cu ions. Overall, this research offered novel insights into the non-radical pathway for heterogeneous visible light-driven advanced oxidation processes and their potential for practical wastewater remediation.

Abstract
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a technology commonly used to treat secondary effluents in wastewater reuse; however, it faces two main challenges: 1) membrane fouling and 2) inadequate nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and organic micropollutants (OMPs) removal. To address these two issues, in this study, we applied peracetic acid (PAA), Fe(VI)/PAA, and Fe(II)/PAA as UF pretreatments. The results showed that the most effective pretreatment was Fe(II)/200 μM PAA, which reduced the total fouling resistance by 90.2%. In comparison, the reduction was only 29.7% with 200 μM PAA alone and 64.3% with Fe(VI)/200 μM PAA. Fe(II)/200 μM PAA could effectively remove fluorescent components and hydrophobic organics in effluent organic matter (EfOM), and enhance the repulsive force between foulants and membrane (according to XDLVO analysis), and consequently, mitigate pore blocking and delay cake layer formation. Regarding pollutant removal, Fe(II)/200 μM PAA effectively degraded OMPs (>85%) and improved P removal by 58.2% via in-situ Fe(Ⅲ) co-precipitation. The quencher and probe experiments indicated that FeIVO2+, •OH, and CH3C(O)OO•/CH3C(O)O• all played important roles in micropollutant degradation with Fe(II)/PAA. Interestingly, PAA oxidation produced highly biodegradable products such as acetic acid, which significantly elevated the BOD5 level and increased the BOD5/total nitrogen (BOD5/TN) ratio from 0.8 to 8.6, benefiting N removal with subsequent denitrification. Overall, the Fe(II)/PAA process exhibits great potential as a UF pretreatment to control membrane fouling and improve water quality during secondary effluent treatment.

Abstract
A Cu(II)/heat coactivated peracetic acid (PAA) system for enhancing diclofenac (DCF) degradation was proposed in this work. The superiority of this synergetic activation strategy for PAA, working reactive species, catalytic mechanism and effects of reaction parameters on DCF elimination in this system were simultaneously investigated. Based on our results, the DCF loss rate in Cu(II)-heat/PAA process at pH 8.0 was about 49.3 and 4.2 times of that in Cu(II)/PAA and heat/PAA processes, respectively. Increasing the reaction temperature to 60 оC not only motivated the conversion of Cu(II) to Cu(I) but also facilitated the one-electron transfer between Cu(I) and PAA, boosting the generation of radicals. Organic radicals (mainly CH3C(O)O• and CH3C(O)OO•) were evidenced to be the core oxidizing substances dominating in the destruction of DCF while hydroxyl radical (•OH) made a minor contribution in this system by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method together with scavenging experiments. This study broads the eyes into enhanced PAA activation initiated by homogenous Cu(II), providing a simple but efficient tool to degrade micropollutants.

Abstract
Light and ultrasound have been tested as physical factors activating peracetic acid (PAA) to oxidize bisphenols (BPs). Based on the chemometric approach of the Taguchi method, UV irradiation with a wavelength of 254 nm was selected as the optimal type of PAA activator. The effectiveness of the UV/PAA system was also compared with other oxidation methods. Under optimal conditions ([BPs]0 = 1 mg/L, 1 mM PAA, pH 9, UV 254 nm) the tested bisphenols are completely degraded within 15-60 min. The influence of the matrix on the process of organic micropollutants removal in the UV/PAA system was also investigated. Toxicity assessment leads to the conclusion that the reaction mixture shows limited toxicity towards living organisms.

Abstract
AIMS To reduce Campylobacter along the food chain, we investigated the mitigation potential of four antimicrobial compounds against Campylobacter using a new evaluation scheme. METHODS AND RESULTS Using the checkerboard method, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of two organic acids (peroxyacetic acid and lactic acid) and two plant extracts (carvacrol and resveratrol) against a C. jejuni and a C. coli field isolate were determined as well as the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indices of combined treatment. The lowest MIC values were found for peroxyacetic acid (0.03 mg mL-1) and carvacrol (0.06 mg mL-1). Based on subsequent sensory studies, peroxyacetic acid and carvacrol were selected for challenge tests to quantitatively determine the reducing potential against Campylobacter on chicken meat and chicken skin. Applying peroxyacetic acid significantly reduced Campylobacter counts on chicken skin with maximum reductions of 3.3 log-units (P < .0001), while the combination of peroxyacetic acid and carvacrol resulted in significant reductions of only 0.4 log-units on chicken breast fillet 24 hours after treatment but not thereafter (P = .0192). CONCLUSIONS Peroxyacetic acid is suitable as a postharvest intervention measure to reduce Campylobacter concentration on chicken skin without reducing consumer acceptance.

Abstract
Peracetic acid is an emerging oxidant and disinfectant for wastewater purification. In this study, we first developed a comprehensive and accurate model to elucidate the reaction mechanisms and simulate reaction kinetics of peracetic acid (PAA, CH3C(=O)OOH) activated by chloride (Cl-) based on experimental results and literature. A diversity of experiments methods (e.g., quenching experiments, probe compounds degradation, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements) and kinetic modeling were used to determine the reactive species. As a result, carbon-centered radicals and free chlorine reactive species (Cl2 and HClO) were devoted to BPA degradation in the PAA/Cl- system. The carbon-centered radicals CH3C(=O)OO•, CH3C(=O)O•, CH3OO•, and •CH3 greatly accelerated BPA degradation with their corresponding kinetics of kCH3C(=O)OO•, BPA = 2 × 108 M-1 s-1, kCH3C(=O)O•, BPA = 2 × 107 M-1 s-1, k•CH3, BPA = 2 × 106 M-1 s-1 and kCH3OO•, BPA = 2 × 104 M-1 s-1. Dissolved Cl2(l) species was also important for BPA degradation with kCl2, BPA of 2 × 107 M-1 s-1, much higher than HClO/ClO- of kHClO, BPA = 1.2 × 101 M-1 s-1 and kClO-, BPA = 9 × 10-3 M-1 s-1. While free chlorine tends to transform BPA to estrogenic chlorinated organic products, the primary degradation of BPA by carbon-centered radicals results in chlorine-free products, reducing the production of disinfection byproducts during the treatment of saline wastewater. This study improves the knowledge of reaction kinetics and mechanism and reactive species generation in the PAA/Cl- system.

Abstract
In this study, a novel water treatment process combining permanganate (Mn(VII)) and peracetic acid (PAA, CH3C(O)OOH) was employed to degrade sulfamethazine (SMT), a typical model contaminant. Simultaneous application of Mn(VII) and a small amount of PAA resulted in much faster oxidation of organics than a single oxidant. Interestingly, coexistent acetic acid played a crucial role in SMT degradation, while background hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) had a negligible effect. However, compared with acetic acid, PAA could better improve the oxidation performance of Mn(VII) and accelerate the removal of SMT more significantly. The mechanism of SMT degradation by Mn(VII)-PAA process was systematically evaluated. Firstly, based on the quenching experiments, electron spin resonance (EPR) results and UV-visible spectrum, singlet oxygen (1O2), Mn(III)aq and MnO2 colloids were the predominant active substances, while organic radicals (R-O•) showed negligible contribution. Then, the decay of Mn(VII) in the presence of PAA and H2O2 was investigated. It was found that the coexisting H2O2 accounted for almost all the decay of Mn(VII), PAA and acetic acid both had low reactivity toward Mn(VII). During the degradation process, acetic acid was able to acidify Mn(VII) and simultaneously acted as a ligand to form reactive complexes, while PAA mainly played a role of spontaneously decomposing to produce 1O2, they jointly promoted the mineralization of SMT. Finally, the degradation intermediates of SMT and their toxicities were analyzed. This paper reported the Mn(VII)-PAA water treatment process for the first time, which provided a promising approach for rapid decontamination of refractory organics-polluted water.

Abstract
Wastewater aeration is an important unit operation that provides dissolved oxygen for microorganisms in wastewater treatment. In this study, the impact of peracetic acid (PAA) dosing on wastewater aeration was assessed in terms of oxygen transfer, visual observation of bubble size changes, and evolution of dissolved oxygen from PAA (and H2O2) decomposition. Oxygen transfer coefficients improved with PAA concentrations of up to 7 mg/L, which was probably due to the smaller bubbles being formed from the aeration diffuser and evolution of small bubbles from PAA (and H2O2) decomposition. At a PAA concentration higher than 7 mg/L, the accumulation of acetate molecules to the gas-liquid interface of bubbles likely began to counteract the positive impact of bubble size decrease by increasing the mass transfer resistance of oxygen from bubbles to water. Finally, a continuous bench-scale primary effluent aeration experiment demonstrated that at a continuous PAA dosing of 1 mg/L, the air input by a compressor could be decreased by 54%, while keeping the oxygen level constant at approximately 1.5 mg/L. PAA dosing could be combined, for example, with aerated grit removal to enhance the primary effluent aeration together with additional benefits of partial disinfection and odor formation prevention.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of irrigating solutions containing 5% boric acid + 1% citric acid or 1% peracetic acid + high concentration hydrogen peroxide on root cleaning and bond strength of cementation systems after 24 h and 6 months of glass fiber post cementation. One hundred and twenty roots were endodontically treated. The specimens were randomized into one of four treatments (n = 10): DW (distilled water); NaOCl2.5% + EDTA17% (2.5% sodium hypochlorite solution + 17% EDTA); PA1% + HP (1% peracetic acid solution + high concentration of hydrogen peroxide); BA5% + CA1% (5% boric acid associated with 1% citric acid). The cleaning efficacy in the cervical, middle, and apical thirds of the post-space, and the push-out bond strength at 24 h and 6 months after post cementation were evaluated by Kruskal-Wallis and two-way ANOVA tests, respectively. BA5% + CA1% showed statistically significantly superior cleaning efficacy compared to the other solutions. This irrigation protocol also resulted in higher bond strength at 24 h and 6 months, regardless of the root third considered, and this was statistically significantly higher than those seen for DW and PA1% + HP. For BA5% + CA1% irrigation protocol, type 1 adhesive failure was the most prevalent. Post-space irrigation with BA5% + CA1% provided both higher cleaning efficacy and better bond strength.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sporicidal products containing hydrogen peroxide (HP), peracetic acid (PAA), and acetic acid (AA) are used widely in multiple industries, including healthcare. Despite widespread use in healthcare, few studies have assessed associations between exposures to HP, PAA, and AA, and work-related symptoms in these settings. METHODS In 2018, we performed a health and exposure assessment at a hospital where a sporicidal product consisting of HP, PAA, and AA, was used as the primary cleaner on hospital surfaces. We collected 56 personal and mobile air samples for HP, PAA, and AA on participants while they performed their regular cleaning duties; collected area samples for HP (n = 28), PAA (n = 28), and AA (n = 70) in multiple hospital locations where cleaning was performed; and administered a postshift survey to assess eye, skin, and upper and lower airway symptoms that occurred cross-shift or in the previous 4 weeks. RESULTS Full-shift exposure levels for HP (range: <3-559 ppb), PAA (range: <0.2-8 ppb), and AA (range: <5-915 ppb) were all below US occupational exposure limits. We observed positive associations (p < 0.05) between shift, departmental average, and departmental 95th percentile exposures to HP, PAA, and AA vapors, and work-related acute (cross-shift) and chronic (previous 4 weeks) eye, upper airway, and lower airway symptoms after adjusting for age, gender, smoking status, use of other cleaning products containing sensitizers and irritants, allergic status, and stress. CONCLUSIONS Our observations of work-related upper and lower airway symptoms among hospital workers exposed to vapors from a sporicidal product containing HP, PAA, and AA indicate a need for a combination of engineering, administrative, and PPE controls to reduce exposure. Additionally, alternative nonchemical disinfection technologies should be further investigated as a means to simultaneously reduce healthcare workers' exposure to disinfectants while also minimizing costly healthcare-acquired infections.

Abstract
The conventional zero-valent iron/peracetic acid (ZVI/PAA) system is severely limited owing to the passivation of ZVI and the low recovery of Fe2+. In this study, a reducing agent, vitamin C (H2A), was used for the first time to enhance the ZVI/PAA system as a way to improve its degradation performance. Under optimal conditions, the removal efficiency of the H2A/ZVI/PAA system was 82.9%, while that of the H2A/PAA and ZVI/PAA systems were only 19.0% and 25.6%. Free radical quenching and electron paramagnetic experiments (EPR) confirmed that CH3C(O)O•, •OH and CH3C(O)OO• were the major active species for acid orange 7 (AO7) degradation with contributions of 9.7%, 75% and 14.4%, respectively. The degradation mechanism was proposed through UV-vis full-wavelength scanning and chemical oxygen demand (COD) experiments. The removal of AO7 was not affected in the presence of Cl-, SO42- and HCO3-, while inhibition occurred with humic acid. ZVI exhibited excellent catalytic properties and stability, and the removal efficiency of AO7 exceeded 70% after three cycles. Additionally, the H2A/ZVI/PAA system showed good ability to remove AO7 in well water, lake water, river water and reservoir water, and the elimination efficiency of MO, DCF and ACE also exceeded 70%. Overall, this study contributes new cognition for enhancing the ZVI/PAA system to degrade contaminants, which is expected to achieve a cleaner water environment.

Abstract
Identifying reactive species in advanced oxidation process (AOP) is an essential and intriguing topic that is also challenging and requires continuous efforts. In this study, we exploited a novel AOP technology involving peracetic acid (PAA) activation mediated by a MnII-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) complex, which outperformed iron- and cobalt-based PAA activation processes for rapidly degrading phenolic and aniline contaminants from water. The proposed MnII/NTA/PAA system exhibited non-radical oxidation features and could stoichiometrically oxidize sulfoxide probes to the corresponding sulfone products. More importantly, we traced the origin of O atoms from the sulfone products by 18O isotope-tracing experiments and found that PAA was the only oxygen-donor, which is different from the oxidation process mediated by high-valence manganese-oxo intermediates. According to the results of theoretical calculations, we proposed that NTA could tune the coordination circumstance of the MnII center to elongate the O-O bond of the complexed PAA. Additionally, the NTA-MnII-PAA* molecular cluster presented a lower energy gap than the MnII-PAA complex, indicating that the MnII-peroxy complex was more reactive in the presence of NTA. Thus, the NTA-MnII-PAA* complex exhibited a stronger oxidation potential than PAA, which could rapidly oxidize organic contaminants from water. Further, we generalized our findings to the CoII/PAA oxidation process and highlighted that the CoII-PAA* complex might be the overlooked reactive cobalt species. The significance of this work lies in discovering that sometimes the metal-peroxy complex could directly oxidize the contaminants without the further generation of high-valence metal-oxo intermediates and/or radical species through interspecies oxygen and/or electron transfer.

Abstract
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) continues to cause foodborne outbreaks associated with beef and beef products despite consistent use of antimicrobial interventions. In this study, the influence of antibiotic resistance (ABR) in E. coli O157:H7 H1730, O157:H7 43,895, O121:H19 and O26:H11 on tolerance to peroxyacetic acid (PAA) was evaluated. Further, bactericidal concentrations of PAA in the presence of nutrient rich media (Tryptic Soy Broth, TSB and beef exudates) and nutrient deficient media (Sterile Deionized Water, SDW and Phosphate Buffered Saline, PBS) were evaluated for all bacterial strains. Antibiotic resistance to ampicillin (amp C), or ampicillin and streptomycin (amp P strep C) was generated in each bacterial strain through incremental exposure to the antibiotics or by plasmid transformation (n = 12 total strains). The mean bactericidal concentrations of PAA were higher (p ≤ 0.05) in nutrient rich media (205.55 ± 31.11 in beef exudate and 195.83 ± 25.00 ppm in TSB) than in nutrient deficient media (57.91 ± 11.97 ppm in SDW and 56.66 ± 9.56 ppm in PBS). Strain O157: H7 ampP strepC was the most tolerant to PAA (p ≤ 0.05). At 200 ppm in nutrient rich media and 60 ppm in nutrient deficient media, all bacterial strains declined in population to below the limit of detection. Analysis of the beef exudates indicated the presence of diverse amino acids that have been associated with acid tolerance. The results from this study indicate that beef exudates could contribute to acid tolerance and suggest that some STEC bacterial strains with certain ABR profiles might be more tolerant to PAA.

Abstract
As an environment-friendly oxidant and disinfectant, peracetic acid (PAA) and PAA based-advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the treatment of emerging micropollutants have raised increasing interest, owing to their ease of activation and less generation of harmful disinfection byproducts. Tetracyclines (TCs) antibiotics as a group of wide-spectrum antibiotics are frequently detected in sewage effluents, while the knowledge of PAA-based advanced oxidation reactions to remove the substrates is quite limited. In this work, we systematically investigated the kinetics and underlying transformation mechanisms of three TCs including tetracycline (TTC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and chlortetracycline (CTC) in the UV-activated PAA oxidation process. The results indicated that three TCs can be efficiently decayed by UV/PAA. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate constants (kobs) of TCs followed the order: kCTC (0.453 min-1) ≫ kTTC (0.164 min-1) > kOTC (0.158 min-1). Quenching experiments showed that the removal of CTC was mainly ascribed to the direct oxidation of PAA, while TTC and OTC were more susceptible to free radicals. The kobs values of the three TCs by PAA oxidation presented a fairly well correlation to the global nucleophilicity and the activation energies of the TC molecules, highlighting the structure-specific reactions of TCs to PAA. Based on product identification and theoretical calculation, N-demethylation and hydroxylation were proposed as the main pathways for TCs degradation by PAA non-radical oxidation. The combination of PAA and UV irradiation can further improve the degradation efficiency of TCs and contribute to reducing the diffusion and transmission of resistance genes in the environment.

Abstract
As an oxidant, peracetic acid (PAA) is gradually applied in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for pollutants degradation due to its high oxidation and low toxicity. In this study, the prepared Co2Fe1-LDH showed excellent PAA activation ability for efficient degradation of various pharmaceuticals with a removal efficiency ranging from 82.3% to 100%. Taking sulfamethoxazole (SMX) as a model pharmaceutical, it's found that organic radical (R-O•) with high concentration of 5.27 × 10-13 M is the dominant ROS responsible for contaminants degradation. Further analysis demonstrated that bimetallic synergistic effect between Co and Fe can improve electron transfer ability of Co2Fe1-LDH, resulting in the accelerated conversion of Co from +3 to +2 valence state with a high reaction rate (4.3 × 101-1.483 × 102 M-1 s-1) in this system. Density functional theory (DFT) reveals that C1, C3, C5 and N11 with higher ƒ0 and ƒ-values concentrated on aniline group of SMX are the main attack sites, which is consistent with the results of degradation products. Besides, Co2Fe1-LDH/PAA system can effectively reduce biological toxicity after reaction, due to lower biotoxicity of degradation products and the carbon sources provided by PAA. In application, Co2Fe1-LDH/PAA system was capable of resisting the influence of water matrix and effectively removing pollutants in actual hospital wastewater. Importantly, this study comprehensively evaluated the ability of Co2Fe1-LDH/PAA system to remove organics and improve the biodegradability of actual hospital wastewater, providing guidance for application of PAA activation system.

Abstract
Peracetic acid combined ultraviolet (UV/PAA) process has garnered growing attention as a promising advanced oxidation process (AOP) for wastewater treatment, but the corresponding transformation of ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM) under this AOP remains unknown. This study systematically investigated the changes in characteristics and composition of DOM under UV/PAA, as well as the underlying mechanisms by multiple spectroscopic analyses and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. UV/PAA treatment dramatically decreased aromaticity, apparent molecular weight, and fluorescent abundance of DOM with the production of more oxidized and saturated compounds. The reactive species (i.e., ·OH and CH3C(O)O·/CH3C(O)OO·) in UV/PAA contributed primarily to DOM changes but showed different reaction selectivity and mechanisms. ·OH reacts with DOM components and mainly yields oxygenation products via a radical addition pathway. Comparatively, the electron transfer route is more likely to occur in CH3C(O)O·/CH3C(O)OO·-induced DOM transformation. Aside from oxygenation products, electron transfer could exclusively generate decarboxylation products and distinguishes CH3C(O)O·/CH3C(O)OO·-based AOPs from ·OH-based AOPs. These findings significantly improve knowledge of DOM alterations under UV/PAA AOP at both the bulk and molecular levels.

Abstract
The wide occurrence of fluoroquinolones (FQs) in aquatic environments has aroused increasing concern about their potential adverse effects on human health. In this study, an emerging advanced oxidation process, i.e., the Medium-Pressure Ultraviolet/Peracetic Acid (MPUV/PAA) process, was used to degrade FQs (e.g., levofloxacin (LEV), norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin). Compared with the MPUV process alone and the PAA process alone, the MPUV/PAA process significantly promoted degradation of FQs due to the considerable contribution of reactive radicals. Probe experiments revealed that PAA-specific organic radicals (e.g., CH3C(O)O• and CH3C(O)OO•) were the major radicals responsible for FQ elimination. Rapid degradation of FQs via the MPUV/PAA process was achieved within a wide range of pH values (5-9) by selecting LEV as the target compound, and higher pH values were more favorable for the reaction. The slight impacts of Cl- and CO32-/HCO3- on LEV removal were observed. The transformation products and pathways of LEV were identified, and nearly all of the transformation pathways occurred on the piperazine ring. Based on Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) analysis, most of the products had lower toxicities than LEV. Overall, these findings improve our understanding and application of the MPUV/PAA process for degrading emerging contaminants in (waste)water treatment.

Abstract
Succinic acid (SA) has been produced from rice straw (RS) and sugarcane bagasse (SB) as low-cost feedstocks in this study through sequential peracetic acid (PA) and alkaline peroxide (AP) pretreatment assisted by ultrasound and pre-hydrolysis followed by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (PSSF). The effect of yeast extract (YE) concentration, inoculum concentration, and biomass type on SA production was investigated. The results showed that SA production from RS and SB was significantly affected by the YE concentration. Final concentration and yield of SA produced were significantly increased along with the increasing of YE concentration. Moreover, inoculum concentration significantly affected the SA production from SB. Higher inoculum concentration led to higher SA production. On the other hand, SA production from RS was not significantly affected by the inoculum concentration. Using RS as the feedstock, the highest SA production was achieved on the medium containing 15 g/L YE with 5 % v/v inoculum, obtaining SA concentration and yield of 3.64 ± 0.1 g/L and 0.18 ± 0.05 g/g biomass, respectively. Meanwhile, the highest SA production from SB was acquired on the medium containing 10 g/L YE with 7.5 % v/v inoculum, resulting SA concentration and yield of 5.1 ± 0.1 g/L and 0.25 ± 0.05 g/g biomass, respectively. This study suggested that RS and SB are potential to be used as low-cost feedstocks for sustainable and environmentally friendly SA production through ultrasonic-assisted PA and AP pretreatment and PSSF.

Abstract
Compared with the common synthesis methods of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Co/Cu-based bi-MOFs composite catalyst CoXCu(10-X)-MOFs (X = 2, 4, 6, and 8) was prepared by a facile synthesis method at room temperature. The bi-MOFs composite catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The removal ability of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) by different Co:Cu rate bi-MOFs composite catalysts, single Co-based MOFs (zeolitic imidazolate framework-67, ZIF-67), and Cu-based MOFs (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology-1, HKUST-1) were investigated and the effects of peracetic acid (PAA) concentration, catalyst dosage, the common interfering substances (Cl-, HCO3-, SO42-, HA) in water, and SMX removal were investigated. Through the analysis of different free radical scavengers and the changes of surface elements before and after the reaction, the oxidation mechanism was further explored, and the stability of Co4Cu6-MOFs was explored through repeated recycling. The experimental results demonstrate that Co4Cu6-MOFs have a high catalytic activity for PAA. Co4Cu6-MOFs/PAA show the best removal effect of SMX under neutral conditions and the presence of Cl- and HCO3- can promote the removal of SMX.

Abstract
Recently, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based upon peracetic acid (PAA) with high efficiency for degrading aqueous organic contaminants have attracted extensive attention. Herein, a novel metal-free N-doped carbonaceous catalyst, namely, carbonized polyaniline (CPANI), was applied to activate PAA to degrade phenolic and pharmaceutical pollutants. The results showed that the CPANI/PAA system could effectively degrade 10 μM phenol in 60 min with low concentrations of PAA (0.1 mM) and catalyst (25 mg L-1). This system also performed well within a wide pH range of 5-9 and displayed high tolerance to Cl-, HCO3- and humic acid. The nonradical pathway [singlet oxygen (1O2)] was found to be the dominant pathway for degrading organic contaminants in the CPNAI/PAA system. Systematic characterization revealed that the graphitic N, pyridinic N, carbonyl groups (CO) and defects played the role of active sites on CPANI during the activation of PAA. The catalytic capacity of spent CPANI could be conveniently recovered by thermal treatment. The findings will be helpful for the application of metal-free carbonaceous catalyst/PAA processes in decontaminating water.

Abstract
Activation of peracetic acid (PAA) to generate powerful oxidizing species has become a promising advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in wastewater treatment, yet the development of low-cost and high-performance activators is still a primary challenge. Herein, a range of Co-Mn spinel oxides (Co3-xMnxO4) with varying levels of Co and Mn were successfully elaborated, in which Co1.1Mn1.9O4 exhibited remarkable performance in PAA activation, outperforming most reported heterogeneous catalysts. Extensive quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis indicated that acetylperoxyl radical (CH3C(O)OO●) was the predominated oxidizing species responsible for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that doping with Mn not only promoted the electron transfer and accelerated reduction of Co(III) to Co(II), but also lowered the energy barrier for PAA activation. Moreover, the prominent chemisorption and activation of PAA with Co1.1Mn1.9O4 was also benefitted from the significant role of Mn in optimizing the distribution of bonding and antibonding states on Co 3d orbitals. Unexpectedly, high levels of Cl-greatly facilitated SMX degradation due to the mass production of HOCl from the chain reactions of various radicals with Cl-. This work provides new insights into bimetallic activation of PAA, and the knowledge obtained will further advance the application of PAA-based AOPs.

Abstract
The hydroxylamine-enhanced Fe(II)/peracetic acid (PAA) process is a promising advanced oxidation process (AOP) with the generation of reactive species (RS) including RO•, •OH and Fe(IV). Nevertheless, it is still challenging to identify which RS is the major intermediate oxidant, and the reasons why the optimal condition is pH 4.5 rather than 3.0 are also unclear. Herein, the generation of RS and their contribution to the degradation of three micro-pollutants were explored. The quenching experiments and pseudo first-order kinetic model demonstrated that RO• rather than the other two RS were predominant. Then the overall generation and evolution pathways of RS were depicted. The elevation of pH (3.0-4.5) would accelerate the Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox cycle through the enhanced reduction of Fe(III) by hydroxylamine and induce the conversion of Fe(IV) to RO•, which benefited naproxen degradation. While the adverse Fe(III) precipitation would dominate the reduced degradation performance with the solution pH higher than 4.5. The elevation of PAA and Fe(II) dosages sped up the PAA activation, while excess hydroxylamine could consume the formed RS and exhibited an inhibitory effect. This study helps further understand the role of HA and differentiate the contribution of RS in the emerging PAA-based AOPs.

Abstract
In this study, a graphene shell-encapsulated copper-based nanoparticles (G@Cu-NPs) was prepared and employed for peracetic acid (PAA) activation. The characterization of G@Cu-NPs confirmed that the as-prepared material was composed of Cu0 and Cu2O inside and encapsulated by a graphene shell. Experimental results suggested that the synthesized G@Cu-NPs could activate PAA to generate free radicals for efficiently removing sulfamethazine (SMT) under neutral condition. The formation of graphene shells could strongly facilitated electron transfer from the core to the surface. Radical quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis confirmed that organic radicals (R-O•) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) were generated in the G@Cu-NPs/PAA system, and R-O• (including CH3CO3• and CH3CO2•) was the main contributor to the elimination of SMT. The possible SMT degradation pathways and mechanisms were proposed, and the toxicity of SMT and its intermediates was predicted with the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis. Besides, the effects of some key parameters, common anions, and humic acid (HA) on the removal of SMT in the G@Cu-NPs/PAA system were also investigated. Finally, the applicability of G@Cu-NPs/PAA system was explored, showing that the G@Cu-NPs/PAA system possessed satisfactory adaptability to treat different water bodies with admirable reusability and stability.

Peracetic-acid-based advanced oxidation processes (PAA-AOPs) on metal-free catalysts have emerged as charming strategies for water contaminant removal. However, the involved reactive species and their corresponding active sites are ambiguous. Herein, using carbon nanotube (CNT) as a model carbocatalyst, we demonstrated that, under neutral conditions, the CNT-PAA* complex was the dominant reactive species to oxidize phenolic compounds via electron-transfer process (ETP), whereas the surface-bound hydroxyl radicals (·OHsurface) played a minor role on the basis of quenching and electrochemical tests as well as Raman spectroscopy. More importantly, the experimental and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results collaboratively proved that the active site for ETP was the sp2-hybridized carbon on the CNT bulk, while that for radical generation was the edge-located hydroxyl group (C-OH), which lowered the energy barrier for cleaving the O-O bond in CNT-PAA* complex. We further discerned the oxidation kinetic constants (koxid) of different pollutants from the apparent kinetic constants in CNT/PAA system. The significant negative linear correlation between lnkoxid and half-wave potential of phenolic compounds suggests that the pollutants with a lower one-electron oxidation potential (i.e., stronger electron-donating ability) are more easily oxidized. Overall, this study scrutinizes the hybrid radical and non-radical mechanism and the corresponding active sites of the CNT/PAA system, providing insights into the application of PAA-AOPs and the development of ETP in the remediation of emerging organic pollutants.
