The preferential elimination of the TCC inhibitory effect through bioaugmentation treatment could restore microbial functions by increasing the functional gene abundances related to various metabolic processes. This study offers new insights into the response of sediment functional communities to TCC stress, electro-biostimulation and bioaugmentation operations and provides a promising system for the enhanced bioremediation of the PAHs and TCC co-contaminated sediments.UV/monochloramine (UV/NH2Cl) is an emerging advanced oxidation process that can generate various reactive species like reactive chlorine species (RCS) and hydroxyl radicals for micropollutant removal. This study investigated the potential toxicity of transformation products resulting from UV/NH2Cl treatment of acesulfame (ACE), as an example of micropollutant, found in worldwide aquatic environment. Compared with UV photolysis and chloramination, the UV/NH2Cl process more effectively degraded ACE. The transformation products of ACE treated with the UV/NH2Cl process were identified and characterized with high resolution mass spectrometry. The formation of chlorinated-TPs indicated the role of RCS in UV/NH2Cl transformation even though UV photolysis was predominantly responsible for the ACE degradation. The Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition assay revealed a higher toxicity of TPs derived from UV/NH2Cl than from UV photolysis. The increased toxicity could be attributed to most of the generated chlorinated-TPs (Cl-TPs), in particular those halo-alcohols. The ECOSAR program predicts that halo-alcohol TPs are more toxic than their non-chlorinated analogues and other Cl-TPs. This study provides insight into the important role of reactive species in the micropollutants' transformation of UV/NH2Cl process. It further provides information relevant to the potential risk when applying the process for micropollutant removal in water treatment.Five different Ru-Mn/zeolites were used to investigate their catalytic efficiencies for removing toluene (100 ppm) with ozone (1000 ppm) at room temperature. GDC-1971 chemical structure In general, most of metal oxide catalysts for removal of organic compounds need higher temperature than the ambient temperature, but Mn-based catalysts shows activity for prevalent organic pollutants even at room temperature with ozone. For the removal of toluene at room temperature without further heating, bimetallic Ru added Mn catalysts were applied in combination with different zeolite supports. The catalytic activity of the Ru-Mn catalysts strongly depended on the zeolite, of which the characteristics such as acidity and adsorption degree of toluene are dependent on the ratio of SiO2/Al2O3. Among the five Ru-Mn catalysts used, Ru-Mn/HY (SiO2/Al2O3 ratio 80) and Ru-Mn/ZSM-5 (SiO2/Al2O3 ratio 80) had higher toluene and ozone removal efficiencies. The toluene removal efficiency of Ru-Mn/zeolites was proportional to the pore volume and surface area. In terms of ozone degradation, Ru-Mn/HY(80) and Ru-Mn/HZSM-5(80) had the highest removal efficiencies. Overall, the catalytic ozone oxidation of toluene using Ru-Mn/zeolites seemed to be affected by a combination of the acidic properties of zeolites, Mn3+/Mn4+ ratio, and concentration ratio of oxygen vacancies to oxygen lattices on the catalyst surface.The present work assessed some engineering approaches, such as the addition of the redox mediator anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) (50 and 100 μM), microaeration (1 mL air min-1), and nitrate (100-400 mg L-1), for enhancing the biotransformation of the antibiotics sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TMP) (200 μg L-1 each) in anaerobic reactors operated at a short hydraulic retention time (7.4 h). Initially, very low removal efficiencies (REs) of SMX and TMP were obtained under anaerobic conditions (∼6%). After adding AQDS, the anaerobic biotransformation of these antibiotics significantly improved, with an increase of approximately 70% in the REs with 100 μM of AQDS. Microaeration also enhanced the biotransformation of SMX and TMP, especially when associated with AQDS, which provided REs above 70%, particularly for TMP (∼91% with 1 mL air min-1 and 50 μM of AQDS). Concerning nitrate, the higher the added concentration, the higher the REs of the antibiotics (∼86% with 400 mg L-1). Therefore, all the assessed approaches were demonstrated to be very effective in improving the limited biotransformation of SMX and TMP in anaerobic reactors, ensuring REs comparable to those found in higher-cost wastewater treatment technologies, such as conventional activated sludge, membrane bioreactors, and hybrid processes.Naturally arsenic (As) enriched agricultural soils represent a significant global human health risk. In this study, As fractionation and mineralogy were investigated in naturally As-enriched agricultural soils and their corresponding sand, silt and clay fractions. Median As increased generally in the order (mg/kg)∶ silt (280) less then bulk (314) less then sand (323) less then clay (484). Sequential extraction showed that amorphous and well-crystalline Fe- and Al-oxide bound and residual As forms accounted 27-42% of total As. Well-crystalline Fe- and Al-oxide bound As was highest (40-42%) in silt and clay fractions, while residual As was generally greatest (41-55%) in bulk and sand fractions. The sand, silt and bulk soils released a consistently higher percentage of non-specifically sorbed As than the clay, but clay released more specifically-sorbed As. Arsenate (As(V)) was the dominant species in soil solutions, although arsenite (As(III)) was significant in a few samples. XRD analysis showed the presence of arsenolite (As2IIIO3) in soils and fractions. SEM/EDS observations revealed that scorodite (FeAsVO4·2H2O) and amorphous Fe-oxides were the main As-bearing minerals in soils and fractions, which were consistent with the geochemical analysis. Outcomes from this research highlight the significant environmental risks of naturally As-enriched soils.Pyrite (FeS2) is an abundant sulfide-associated iron mineral that exists in the earth. In this study, the pyrite/oxone process was demonstrated to be an effective approach for the catalytic degradation of propanil, where more than 90% decay ([propanil]0 = 0.01 mM) was achieved within 15 min. Typically, the effects of various experimental parameters, including catalyst loading, oxone dosage, propanil concentration, and initial solution pH, were examined. Two optimal reaction pH values were observed at pH 9.1 and pH 2.9. The generated SO4－ and OH were verified to be the dominant reactive radicals and primarily responsible for the propanil degradation. Both Fe(II) regeneration and sulfur conversion play an important role in oxone activation mechanism and effectively aid the catalytic activity of pyrite. Different co-existing natural water constituents exert dissimilar effects on the pyrite/oxone process. Additionally, the reusability test of pyrite exhibited a reasonable catalytic activity. The pyrite/oxone process was proven efficient in terms of propanil mineralization.
