Abstract Tetracycline (TC) is one of the most persistent pharmaceuticals in the ecosystem. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are suitable and effective technology for treating wastewater contaminated with antibiotics such as TC. In this manner, Fenton-like reaction is effective for wastewater treatment from toxicity and non-biodegradable organic pollutants using bimetallic nanoparticles. This study aims to verify the effect of AOPs using ZVI/Cu bimetallic nanoparticles on removing the TC antibiotic via a Fenton-like reaction, and what is necessary to evaluate the factors that influence the reaction i.e. pH, ZVI/Cu dose, stirring intensity, H2O2 concentration, and initial TC dosage. The obtained results indicated that the TC removal reached up to 82.3% with an initial TC dose of 8 μg/L. in addition, the TC degradation process is more effective in an acidic medium than in an alkaline medium. Furthermore, the TC removal reached up to 85.1% with a ZVI/Cu dose of 1.2 g/L. On the other hand, the optimum mixing intensity value was 200 rpm, and the optimum H2O2 dose was 2 g/L according to the conditions of the present study.

The degradation of chlorpyriphos by different advanced oxidation processes such as photo-Fenton, TiO2, TiO2/H2O2, O3 and O3/H2O2 was investigated. The photo-Fenton and TiO2 processes were optimized using a solar chamber as light source. The optimum dosages of the photo-Fenton treatment were: [H2O2]=0.01 M; [Fe3 + ]=10 mg l−1; initial pH = 3.5. With these optimum conditions total degradation was observed after 15 minutes of reaction time. The application of sunlight was also efficient as total degradation was achieved after 60 minutes. The optimum dosage using only TiO2 as catalyst was 1,000 mg l−1, obtaining the maximum degradation at 20 minutes of reaction time. On the other hand, the addition of 0.02 M of H2O2 to a lower dosage of TiO2 (10 mg l−1) provides the same degradation. The ozonation treatment achieved complete degradation at 30 minutes of reaction time. On the other hand, it was observed that the degradation was faster by adding H2O2 (H2O2/O3 molar ratio = 0.5). In this case, total degradation was observed after 20 minutes.

The existence of pharmaceuticals in nature is a growing environmental problem, turning necessary the use of efficient treatments for the degradation of these substances, as the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). In this work the AOPs UV/H2O2 and photo-Fenton were applied to degrade the pharmaceuticals lamivudine and zidovudine in an aqueous solution using a bench reactor, composed of three UV-C lamps. It was verified that the UV/H2O2 process presented a degradation of 97.33 ± 0.14% for lamivudine and 93.90 ± 0.33% for zidovudine, after 180 min of treatment and for an initial concentratin of each pharmaceutical of  5 mg.L-1 and [H2O2] of 600 mg.L-1.  A methodology by artificial neural networks (ANNs) was used to model the photocatalytic process, with the MLP 7-23-2 ANN representing it well, and determining the relative importance (%) of each of the input variables for the pharmaceutical’s degradation process. Kinetic studies for the pharmaceutical degradation and the conversion of organic matter showed good adjustments to the pseudo first-order models with R2 raging from 0.9705 to 0.9980. Toxicity assays for the before treatment solution indicated that the seeds Lactuca sativa and Portulaca grandiflora showed growth inhibition whereas the post-treatment solution inhibited only the growth of Lactuca sativa.

Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Processes

<p>This paper describes the results obtained in the design and characterization of a tubular electrochemical reactor. The set-up was employed for on-site hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) production in an acidic medium (pH 3) to promote three electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOP): electro-Fenton (EF), photoelectro-Fenton (PEF) and photocatalysis treatment (PT). These processes were evaluated by their abilities to degrade a commercial dye, Orange-II (OGII), in solution using total organic carbon (TOC) removal and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). To have free solutions of iron in the EF and PEF systems, a Nafion<sup>TM</sup> membrane with dispersed iron was prepared. For use in photocatalysis, electrodes with a large superficial area were prepared by coating carbon cloth fiber supports with titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) using the electrophoretic (EP) method. In this work, wastewater samples with a large number of microorganisms (coliform bacteria) were treated with this new reactor design.</p>

AbstractTraditional techniques to remove contaminants (carbon adsorption, incineration, biological activity and chemical treatment) have a lot of disadvantages. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP’s) are used as alternative processes in the degradation of surfactants and in general for wastewater treatment. They are based on the generation of OH•, one of the most powerful oxidant known (E° = 2.73 V) and capable to react non-selectively with any organic compound. In the present work, the degradation of a cationic surfactant (dodecylpyridinium chloride (DPC)) was performed. The photodegradation reaction was investigated both in a slurry reactor and in a vessel where the photocatalyst (P25 by Degussa) was anchored onto an aluminum surface to avoid the final filtration of the powder at the end of the reaction. Moreover a new photoreactor was built on purpose to investigate the influence of the pressure on the degradation process.

There is a need for the development of on-site wastewater treatment technologies suitable for “dry-process industries,” such as the wood-floor sector. Due to the nature of their activities, these industries generate lower volumes of highly polluted wastewaters after cleaning activities. Advanced oxidation processes such as Fenton and photo-Fenton, are potentially feasible options for treatment of these wastewaters. One of the disadvantages of the Fenton process is the formation of large amounts of ferrous iron sludge, a constraint that might be overcome with the use of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) powder. Wastewater from a wood-floor industry with initial COD of 4956 mg/L and TOC of 2730 mg/L was treated with dark-Fenton (nZVI/H2O2) and photo-Fenton (nZVI/H2O2/UV) applying a 2-level full-factorial experimental design. The highest removal of COD and TOC (80% and 60%, resp.) was achieved using photo-Fenton. The supply of the reactants in more than one dose during the reaction time had significant and positive effects on the treatment efficiency. According to the results, Fenton and mostly photo-Fenton are promising treatment options for these highly recalcitrant wastewaters. Future investigations should focus on optimizing treatment processes and assessing toxic effects that residual pollutants and the nZVI might have. The feasibility of combining advanced oxidation processes with biological treatment is also recommended.

Studies on kinetics of galaxolide (HHCB) degradation under influence of UV, simulated sunlight and some advanced oxidation processes (H2O2, UV/H2O2, and Vis/H2O2) were conducted. Galaxolide appeared to be a photolabile compound. The first-order kinetics model was assumed for all studied processes. It was observed that basic pH favored HHCB degradation. The influence of natural matrices (river water and artificial sweat) on direct photolysis of HHCB was examined. It was stated that the process of the photodegradation proceeded slower at the presence of each matrix. HHCB lactone was identified using the GC-MS technique. The recorded chromatograms showed that apart from the lactone, other degradation products were formed that we could not identify. In order to deeper understand the HHCB degradation process, DFT calculations were performed. The results pointed out that OH radicals play a key role in HHCB decomposition, which mainly proceeds via H abstractions as well as OH additions. It follows from the calculations that the visible light is sufficient to initiate the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) under the oxidative conditions, whereas UV irradiation is needed to start decay with no oxidative agents.

In this study, the effectiveness of a rhodamine B (RhB) dye degradation process at a concentration of 20 mg/L in different advanced oxidation processes—H2O2/UV, O3/UV and PDS/UV—has been studied. The use of UV in a photo-assisted ozonation process (O3/UV) proved to be the most effective method of RhB decolorization (90% after 30 min at dye concentration of 100 mg/L). The addition of sulfate radical precursors (sodium persulfate, PDS) to the reaction environment did not give satisfactory effects (17% after 30 min), compared to the PDS/UV system (70% after 30 min). No rhodamine B decolorization was observed using hydrogen peroxide as a sole reagent, whereas an effect on the degree of RhB degradation was observed when UV rays strike the sample with H2O2 (33% after 30 min). The rhodamine B degradation process followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics model. The combined PDS/O3/UV process has shown 60% color removal after 30 min of reaction time at an initial dye concentration of 100 mg/L. A similar effectiveness was obtained by only applying ozone or UV-activated persulfate, but at a concentration 2–5 times lower (20 mg/L). The results indicated that the combined PDS/O3/UV process is a promising method for high RhB concentrations (50–100 mg/L) comparing to other alternative advanced oxidation processes.

In this review article, we summarize the current knowledge about the applicability of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) such as UV/H2O2, Fenton and photo-Fenton for removal of textile dyes from wastewater and the effect of operational parameters (initial dye concentration, initial H2O2 concentration, initial Fe2+ concentration and initial pH) on these processes. Numerous studies have reported the use of AOPs for degradation of textile dyes, and the results show that they are very effective. By comparing the results of the previous studies, it seems that the photo- Fenton process is more efficient than the Fenton and UV/H2O2 process.

Environmental contextOseltamivir (Tamiflu) is widely used to prevent and treat influenza but conventional wastewater processes involving sedimentation and biotic oxidation do not appear to significantly remove it from sewage, leading to its discharge into the environment. A range of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) involving photolysis of aqueous solutions of oseltamivir with UV alone, UV/H2O2 and UV/H2O2/FeII is demonstrated to lead to photodegradation of oseltamivir to products with no ecotoxicity observed. These AOPs may therefore offer potentially environmentally friendly sewage water treatment options. AbstractAqueous solutions of the antiviral drug oseltamivir phosphate (OSP, Tamiflu, (3R,4R,5S)-ethyl 4-acetamido-5-amino-3-(pentan-3-yloxy)cyclohex-1-enecarboxylate) were degraded using advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) involving photodegradation with UV alone, UV/H2O2 and UV/H2O2/FeII (photo-Fenton reaction). The photodecay of the parent OSP in all three cases followed first-order kinetics with respective rate constants of 0.21, 1.56 and 1.75 min–1 at 20°C in pH 7 phosphate-buffered Milli-Q water. The rate of UV/H2O2 photolysis in the presence of 2-methylpropan-2-ol was significantly slower with an approximate first-order rate constant of 0.13 min–1 suggesting the involvement of •OH in the degradation process. NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV diode array detection were used to identify the crude photoproduct as the hydroxylated OSP derivative (3S,4R,5S)-ethyl 4-acetamido-5-amino-2-hydroxy-3-(pentan-3-yloxy)cyclohexanecarboxylate that occurs by an unknown mechanism. OSP and this crude photoproduct demonstrated no effect on the survival of Quinquelaophonte sp. over 96 h.

The degradation of nitrobenzene using some advanced oxidation processes (O3/UV, O3/UV/H2O2 and O3/UV/Fe(III)) has been investigated. In the combined O3/UV process, the effect of pH and ozone was studied. In the other combinations, the influence of the amount of hydrogen peroxide and ferric ion in the degradation rate and TOC evolution, has been studied. Under our conditions, the combination O3/UV did not improve the degradation rate obtained by ozonation. The best TOC decrease was obtained when the O3/UV process was carried out at low ferric ion concentrations.
