- Abstract
Abstract Herein, the application of a novel acid mine drainage-based nanoscale zero valent iron (AMD-based nZVI) for the remediation of nitrate and norfloxacin (NOR) was studied. Experimental results indicated that the catalytic reactivity of AMD-based nZVI toward nitrate reduction was superior to that of iron salt-based nanoscale zero valent iron (Iron salt-based nZVI). The presence of ultrasound irradiation could significantly enhance the reactivity toward both the nitrate reduction and NOR oxidation processes. The optimal efficiencies of nitrate and NOR by AMD-based nZVI/US process could be kept 96 and 94% within 120 min, respectively. Ammonia was identified as a major product in nitrate reduction process, while three oxidation products were observed in NOR degradation process. Both reduction reaction of nitrate from AMD-based nZVI and oxidation reaction of NOR from US-assisted Fenton system might be involved in AMD-based nZVI/US process. The AMD-based nZVI/US process showed a better performance on the removal of NOR compared with that of nitrate. The findings of the present work could be as a guide and show that AMD-based nZVI/US process is feasible for the remediation of both nitrate and NOR in real wastewater. Graphical abstract Unlabelled Image Highlights • A novel zero valent iron was successfully synthesized using acid mine drainage. • A synergistic effect between nitrate reduction and NOR oxidation was achieved. • HO produced from US-assisted Fenton system was responsible for NOR oxidation. • A reaction mechanism for the nitrate reduction and NOR oxidation was proposed. • AMD-based nZVI has a better recyclability on the NOR removal than nitrate.

Cr 6+ and Pb 2+ are both highly toxic pollutants and commonly co-exist in some industrial effluents and contaminated waters. In this study, simultaneous removal of Cr 6+ and Pb 2+ by a novel sewage sludge-derived biochar immobilized nanoscale zero-valent iron (SSB-nZVI) was systematically investigated. It was well demonstrated that a porous structure was successfully formed on the SSB-nZVI when the starch was used as an additive. A synergistic effect on the adsorption and reduction over the SSB-nZVI was achieved, resulting in nearly 90 and 82% of Cr 6+ and Pb 2+ removal within 30 min, respectively. Cr 6+ was reduced prior to Pb 2+ . A low pH could accelerate the corrosion of nZVI as well as phosphate leaching. When Malachite green was added as a coexisting organic pollutant, its effective removal was found due to the formation of a Fenton-like system. The SSB-nZVI could be run consecutively three times with a relatively satisfactory performance. Most of Cr 6+ was converted into Cr 2 O 3 and Cr(OH) 3 on the SSB-nZVI surface, whereas most of Pb 2+ species existed as Pb(OH) 2 (or PbO). A possible reaction mechanism on the SSB-nZVI involved the adsorption, reduction and precipitation of both Cr 6+ and Pb 2+ over the particles. Present study sheds light on the insight of the fate and transport of Cr 6+ and Pb 2+ in aquatic environment, as well provides helpful guide for the remediation of coexistence of pollutants in real applications.

In this study, a novel biochar-supported zero valent iron (BC-nZVI) was synthesized through a green method. A high performance on the simultaneous removal of Cu 2+ and bisphenol A (BPA) by a combination of BC-nZVI with persulfate (BC-nZVI/PS) system was successfully achieved. The simultaneous efficiencies of Cu 2+ and BPA could reach 96 and 98% within 60 min, respectively. Both HO• and SO 4 •− were two major reactive species in BC-nZVI/PS system, and SO 4 •− was primary radical responsible for the degradation of BPA. Four kinds of Cu species, such as Cu(OH) 2 , CuO, Cu 2 O and Cu 0 were generated via the adsorption and reduction of the BC-nZVI, whereas six kinds of products of BPA including p-isopropenyl phenol and 4-isopropylphenol were generated via the combined oxidation of SO 4 •− and HO•. The possible reaction mechanism for the simultaneous removal of Cu 2+ and BPA by BC-nZVI/PS system contained a synergistic effect between the reduction of Cu 2+ and the oxidation of BPA. This is the first report on the feasibility of the remediation of coexistence of heavy metal and organic compound in aquatic environment using the BC-nZVI/PS system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• A synergistic effect between BC/PMS and nZVI/PMS processes has been achieved. • ATZ removal of BC-nZVI/PMS was higher than that of BC-nZVI/H 2 O 2 or BC-nZVI/PS. • SO 4 − was the predominant radical species responsible for ATZ degradation. • ATZ was degraded through de-alkylation, dechlorination and hydroxylation processes. • A reaction mechanism of PMS activation by BC-nZVI for ATZ degradation was proposed. Over the past decade, herbicides contaminated soil poses a serious threat to humans and environment. In this study, a novel biochar supported zero valent iron (BC-nZVI) was used as a heterogeneous catalyst activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the removal of herbicide atrazine (ATZ) from soil. The results revealed that the removal of ATZ by BC-nZVI/PMS process was superior to that of BC/PMS or nZVI/PMS process. A synergistic effect between BC/PMS and nZVI/PMS processes has been successfully achieved in BC-nZVI/PMS process, and nearly 96% of ATZ removal was obtained at optimum reaction conditions. BC-nZVI/PMS process exhibited an excellent performace on ATZ removal compared with BC-nZVI/H 2 O 2 or BC-nZVI/persulfate (PS) process. PMS decomposition by BC-nZVI/PMS process was higher than the sum of BC/PMS and nZVI/PMS processes. A low Cu concentration accelerated ATZ removal, and Cu was also effectively immobilized. SO 4 − was the predominant reactive oxygen species responsible for ATZ degradation, and OH and 1O 2 also took part in reaction. Four kinds of ATZ degradation products were identified, and ATZ degradation could be achieved through de-alkylation, dechlorination and hydroxylation processes. A reaction mechanism of PMS activation by BC-nZVI was proposed based on the synergistic effect of BC and nZVI. In addition to ATZ, coexisting pollutants such as 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), Cu and Cd were also simultaneously removed from soil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In this study, bentonite-supported nZVI (B-nZVI) was used as a catalyst to activate H 2 O 2 for atrazine (ATZ) degradation in the presence of FeS 2. Results indicated that ATZ degradation by B-nZVI/H 2 O 2 process was significantly enhanced when FeS 2 was introduced, and nearly 98% of ATZ was degraded by B-nZVI/FeS 2 /H 2 O 2 process within 60 min under the optimum conditions. ATZ degradation of B-nZVI/FeS 2 /H 2 O 2 process was much higher than the sum of B-nZVI and FeS 2 /H 2 O 2 processes. The presence of HCO 3 −, PO 4 3− and F− exhibited significant negative effects on the ATZ degradation, whereas both Cu2+ and Ni2+ exhibited positive effects on that. Both citric acid (CA) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) with lower concentration enhanced ATZ degradation rate, but significant suppression effects on that with higher concentration. The degradation of ATZ and 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) could be simultaneously achieved in B-nZVI/FeS 2 /H 2 O 2 process under certain conditions. High soluble Fe2+ induced an excellent decomposition of H 2 O 2 by B-nZVI and FeS 2. OH was dominant radical, and contributed to nearly 86% of the overall ATZ removal. A total of five intermediate products of ATZ were identified, and ATZ degradation was achieved via de-alkylation and hydroxylation processes. An enhanced reaction mechanism for ATZ degradation by B-nZVI/FeS 2 /H 2 O 2 process was proposed, and B-nZVI/FeS 2 /H 2 O 2 process exhibited an excellect catalytic performance within four successive runs. Unlabelled Image • ATZ degradation by B-nZVI/H 2 O 2 process was enhanced in the presence of FeS 2. • High Fe2+ was favorable to H 2 O 2 decomposition by B-nZVI/FeS 2 /H 2 O 2 process. • OH was dominant radical, and contributed to 86.1% of the overall ATZ removal. • Possible pathways of ATZ degradation were proposed based on intermediate products. • Enhanced mechanism for ATZ degradation by B-nZVI/FeS 2 /H 2 O 2 process was proposed.

Nowadays, nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) has been extensively applied for the decontamination of various pollutants, but passivation of nZVI severely affects its reactivity in use. In this study, ultrasound (US)-assisted catalytic reduction of Cr(VI) by an acid mine drainage based nZVI (AMD-nZVI) coupling with FeS 2 system was systematically examined. Results show that the presence of FeS 2 and US induced a synergistic enhancement of Cr(VI) removal by AMD-nZVI. Nearly 98% of Cr(VI) removal was achieved by AMD-nZVI/FeS 2 /US process within 60 min under optimal reaction conditions. Several coexisting substances with lower concentration including Pb(II), Ni(II), bisphenol A (BPA) and 2,4-diclorophenol (2,4-DCP) could be effectively removed in simultaneous manner with Cr(VI) removal. The inhibitory order of water matrix species on Cr(VI) removal was NO 3 − > PO 4 3− > HCO 3 − > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Cl−, and a serious suppression effect was induced by humic acid (HA). Addition of ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) and citric acid (CA) could enhance Cr(VI) removal rate. An enhanced reaction mechanism was proposed, which involved the regeneration of more Fe2+ and H+ by AMD-nZVI/FeS 2 /US process, leading to the reduction of Cr(VI) by AMD-nZVI and FeS 2 into Cr(III) species inculding Cr 2 O 3 and Cr(OH) 3. This study well demonstrates that AMD-nZVI/FeS 2 /US process is considered as a potential candidate for the remediation of Cr(VI) in real wasterwater. Image 1 • FeS 2 induced an enhanced removal of Cr(VI) by AMD-nZVI/US process. • The formation of Fe2+ and acidic condition played a primary role in this process. • Removal of Pb(II), Ni(II), 2,4-DCP and BPA could be achieved with Cr(VI) removal. • Most of Cr(VI) species was sucessfully reduced into Cr 2 O 3 and Cr(OH) 3. • Enhanced mechanism of Cr(VI) removal by AMD-nZVI/FeS 2 /US process was proposed.
