Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species and Degradation of Pollutants in the Fe2+/O2/Tripolyphosphate System: Regulated by the Concentration Ratio of Fe2+ and Tripolyphosphate

Chengwu Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, the relationship between the Fe2+/TPP ratio and the degradation mechanism of p-nitrophenol (PNP) in Fe2+/O-2 systems under neutral conditions was investigated. It was found that the Fe2+/TPP ratio regulated the degradation pathways of PNP, with different reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved at different ratios. By controlling the Fe2+/TPP ratio, the oxidation/reduction removal of pollutants can be selectively achieved.

Highly Efficient Hydrated Electron Utilization and Reductive Destruction of Perfluoroalkyl Substances Induced by Intermolecular Interaction

Zhanghao Chen et al.

Summary: A binary composite was developed for the efficient decomposition of PFASs using hydrated electrons, and it was found that the reaction efficiency depended on both the yield of hydrated electrons and the interaction between PFOA and indole derivatives. Among the derivatives, indole exhibited the highest degradation performance due to its ability to generate hydrated electrons and form hydrogen bonding with PFOA.

Critical Impact of Nitrogen Vacancies in Nonradical Carbocatalysis on Nitrogen-Doped Graphitic Biochar

Zhonghao Wan et al.

Summary: Nitrogen-doped graphitic biochar (NBC) has shown potential for nonradical carbocatalysis in environmental remediation, with nitrogen vacancies playing a more critical role than nitrogen dopants. Through sophisticated thermo-mechanochemical manipulation, the study demonstrated that nitrogen vacancies exhibited higher affinity towards PMS molecules, resulting in superior carbocatalytic performance. This research sheds light on the understanding of nitrogen doping technology and its application in next-generation biochar design.

Photochemical Transformation and Catalytic Activity of Dissolved Black Nitrogen Released from Environmental Black Carbon

Fei Lian et al.

Summary: This study examined the photochemical transformation and catalytic activity of dissolved black nitrogen (DBN) in soils, finding that DBN is more easily transformed and generates more reactive oxygen and nitrogen species under solar irradiation, leading to higher photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds compared to dissolved black carbon (BC). These findings provide new insights into the impact of heteroatoms on the phototransformation and activity of BC as well as the cycling of nitrogen in terrestrial systems.

Determination of Instinct Components of Biomass on the Generation of Persistent Free Radicals (PFRs) as Critical Redox Sites in Pyrogenic Chars for Persulfate Activation

Wei Wu et al.

Summary: The study investigated the activation of PS on BC derived from various sludges with different organic or inorganic components. Results showed that the properties of SBCs were influenced by the inherent components in the sludges, with higher N-containing content promoting the generation of PFRs and metal content inhibiting this process. A poly-parameter relationship was established to predict the efficiency of PS activation for organic degradation.

Identifying the Persistent Free Radicals (PFRs) Formed as Crucial Metastable Intermediates during Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) Activation by N-Doped Carbonaceous Materials

Yufei Zhen et al.

Summary: This study reveals the nonradical mechanism involved in peroxymonosulfate activation in carbonaceous materials and the formation of crucial intermediates, providing insights into the efficiency and activation energy of NHCS/PMS system for organic degradation. Persistent free radicals play a significant role in organic degradation, and their formation relies on the attack of surface-bonded radicals in PMS. The evolution of persistent free radicals from oxygen-centered to carbon-centered radicals is triggered by the degradation intermediates of aromatic compounds.
