Abstract Bisphenol A is used in various industrial productions and large amounts of industrial wastewater containing bisphenol A is produced. Heterogeneous Fenton-like process in advanced oxidation technology can oxidize and degrade most organic compounds non-selectively, and it has become an effective method to treat bisphenol A. The aim is to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional Fenton method and synthesize catalysts by a simple method, which can help to degrade bisphenol A effectively under neutral conditions, with less catalyst and less H2O2 consumption. In this experiment, α-MnO2 and α-MnO2/AC (1:1, w/w) were synthesized by a simple method, and the degradation rate of bisphenol A by α-MnO2 and α-MnO2/AC (1:1, w/w) under different conditions were studied. The optimal conditions for the degradation of bisphenol A by the two materials were determined by single factor and orthogonal experiments. When the dosage of α-MnO2 catalyst is 6.5g/L and the concentration of H2O2 is 200 mg/L with pH = 4.5 at 328K, the degradation rate of 50mg/L bisphenol A can reach 91.02% within 70 minutes. When α-MnO2/AC (1:1, w/w) has a catalyst dosage of 1.5g/L, at 298K with no pH adjustment, the degradation rate of 50 mg/L of bisphenol A within 70 minutes can be reached 94.17%.

Trimethoprim is one of the representative drugs within the pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) group. The photo-Fenton oxidation technology was used to degrade trimethoprim in wastewater and the extent of degradation was analyzed by using high-performance liquid chromatography, then experimentally obtained the optimal conditions. Analysis of the experimental data showed that, under the single-factor experimental conditions, the optimal conditions for degradation were a pH of 4, an H2O2 concentration of 3.0 mmol/L, an FeSO4 concentration of 0.06 mmol/L, an initial trimethoprim concentration of 0.0689 mmol/L, and an ultraviolet (UV) intensity (UVA) of 12 mW/cm2. The interaction of pH and the concentration of H2O2 and Fe2+ have been further explored, it was obtained the following response surface results through the central composite design experiment: pH = 4.56, H2O2 concentration = 0.09 mmol/L, and Fe2+ concentration = 0.09 mmol/L. Under these conditions, it can be obtained a degradation rate of 99.95% after 6 min. There were similar results for three sets of parallel experiments, indicating that these simulation conditions were feasible.

Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA) is a pollutant exits in an enormous amount in wastewater effluent resulted from the rapid industrialization. Advanced oxidation technology (AOP) based on solar photocatalysis can be employed to solve this issue. This study will focus on adopting photocatalyst graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with potassium niobate (KNbO3) via a simple sol-gel synthesis method. The different weight percentages 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 wt% g-C3N4, were adopted to formed KNbO3/g-C3N4composites. The physicochemical properties of the created KNbO3/g-C3N4composites were characterized with advanced analysis methods to unveil this composite’s ability to enhance the photodegradation of BPA under sunlight irradiation. It was found that 1.0 wt% KNbO3/g-C3N4composites exhibited the highest photocatalytic degradation of 69.39% in 5 h. This superior photodegradation of BPA was achieved resulted from the presence of g-C3N4that enhances light-harvesting, especially in the visible light spectrum. The increase of light-harvesting enables the composite to excite more electrons and holes leading to the massive formation of active radicals. These massive active radicals will then enhance the redox reaction and further improve the efficacy of the photodegradation of BPA. Hence, the outcome of this study path an alternative solution for eliminating complex organic pollutants in wastewater treatment.

Water and wastewater effluents contain a vast range of pharmaceutical chemicals. The present study aims to determine the potential of the advanced oxidation technology UV/H2O2/O3 and its sub-processes (i.e. UV, UV/H2O2, UV/O3, O3 and H2O2/O3) for the degradation of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin (CIP) and trimethoprim (TMP), and the antineoplastic drug cyclophosphamide (CPD) from water. Creating AOP conditions improved in most cases the degradation rate of the target compounds (compared with O3 and UV alone). H2O2 concentration was found to be an important parameter in the UV/H2O2 and H2O2/O3 sub-processes, acting as •OH initiator as well as •OH scavenger. Out of the examined processes, O3 had the highest degradation rate for TMP and H2O2/O3 showed highest degradation rate for CIP and CPD. The electrical energy consumption for both CIP and CPD, as calculated using the EEO parameter, was in the following order: UV > UV/O3 > UV/H2O2/O3 > O3 > H2O2/O3. Whereas for TMP O3 was shown to be the most electrical energy efficient. Twelve degradation byproducts were identified following direct UV photolysis of CIP.

Abstract In this paper, the UV/H2O2/MW (microwave) process was compared with the UV/H2O2 one, using bisphenol A (BPA) as a model-pollutant. The proposed experimental setup was operated in batch recycle mode and allows for the direct comparison among different processes: UV only, H2O2 only, MW only, UV/H2O2, UV/MW, H2O2/MW, and UV/H2O2/MW, as well as temperature control to minimize thermal effects. The degradation of BPA at near-environmental concentration (100 µg L−1) was optimized by an experimental design approach (Response Surface Methodology) and its residual concentration was measured by HPLC. Approximately 95% of the initial BPA amount could be removed in 30 min at the optimal conditions (CH2O2 = 20 mg L−1, flow rate = 700 mL min−1, and MW power = 245 W). The experiments designed for comparing the UV/H2O2 and the UV/H2O2/MW processes showed that the use of MW doubled the initial pseudo-first-order degradation rate (from 0.046 to 0.10 min−1) and significantly increased the maximum oxidation capacity of the system (from 86 to 100%). Although the reasons behind those results are still unclear, it seems that the existence of non-thermal effects of the MW irradiation should be considered.

SummaryTo develop a simple method for estimation of platelet lipoxygenase (PLO) and cyclo-oxygenase (PCO) pathways, the arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism of human platelet was investigated under various experimental conditions by the use of the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reaction and a radioisotope technique. A TBA-reactive substance different from malondialdehyde (MDA) via PCO pathway was detected and shown to be derived from the PLO pathway. Since the optimal pH and time course of its formation were different from those of MDA formation via PCO pathway, PLO and PCO pathways were estimated by quantitating the TBA-reactive substances produced by the incubation of AA either with aspirin-treated platelets or with untreated ones, respectively, each under optimal conditions. Normal values expressed in terms of nmol MDA/108 platelets were 1.17±0.34 (M±SD, n = 31) and 0.79±0.15 (n = 31) for PLO and PCO pathways, respectively.

A new Fenton-like catalyst was prepared to degrade Orange IV in water by catalytic decomposition of H2O2. The optimal preparation conditions were discussed. The catalytic activity of catalyst was evaluated by the degradation of Orange IV and the decomposition of H2O2. The results show that solid super acid (S2O82-/FexOy) soaked in (NH4)2S2O8 is the most effective catalyst among the synthesized iron oxides soaked in other oxidants. The optimal conditions for solid super acid preparation are calcined at 500 for 2 h in the air.
