Summary: The in situ Fenton system facilitated by UV showed better oxidation ability of NO compared to the IF system due to the photochemical effect on oxidative species generation. The oxidation efficiencies of both systems were higher than that of the conventional Fenton system, and could be further optimized by controlling process parameters like UV power, gas flow rate, and reagent temperature. Further research on reactor interior structure optimization via computational fluid dynamics simulations and experimental validation is recommended to enhance NO oxidation efficiency and promote large-scale development of this technology.

Summary: The quenching effect of radical contenders hinder the removal of target refractory pollutants in traditional Fenton processes. To overcome this, an electrocatalytic-assisted chelation-Fenton (EACF) process was proposed, which significantly enhanced the removal of target refractory pollutant (represented by pyrazole) under high contender levels. The EACF achieved higher oxidation capability and lower operation cost compared to traditional Fenton process in the treatment of pharmaceutical tailwater.

Summary: The Fenton oxidation process was successfully applied to biologically treated swine wastewater (BSWW) for the removal of TOC and color constituents. By optimizing operational variables using the response surface method (RSM), it was found that FeSO4 is more important for TOC removal, while H2O2 plays a significant role in color removal.

Summary: The modified Fenton technique was used to remediate soils contaminated with crude oil. The study found that increasing the inactivation of soil organic matter (SOM) could significantly enhance the reaction activity of hydroxyl radicals and achieve efficient oxidation of the crude oil. Improved transfer of hydroxyl radicals from SOM to crude oil was more important than increasing their production. The cross-linking of FeOOH with SOM contributed to the inactivation of SOM.

Summary: A series of PEG modified Mn-Fe bimetallic oxides with various Mn/Fe molar ratios were synthesized and investigated for the simultaneous oxidation of NO and toluene. The Mn2Fe1 catalyst with a Mn/Fe molar ratio of 2:1 exhibited excellent catalytic performance, attributed to the synergistic interaction between Mn and Fe, which increased specific surface area, dispersion, and low-temperature reducibility. The presence of NO and toluene had different effects on their respective removal, with toluene inhibiting NO removal at lower temperatures but not at higher temperatures. The presence of O2 and the formation of strong oxidizing NO2 played positive roles in the deep oxidation of both NO and toluene.

Summary: This paper investigated the effect and mechanisms of alkaline metals on the adsorption of heavy metals by kaolinite. The results showed that the addition of NaCl decreased the fixation rate of Pb, and the addition of Na2CO3 gradually decreased the fixation rates of all heavy metals, while the addition of CaO had little effect. The alkaline metals also increased the leaching risk of heavy metals from the ash. DFT calculations revealed the inhibitory effect of NaCl and Na2O on the adsorption of heavy metals, while effective adsorption was still feasible after the combination of CaO and metakaolin.

Summary: Chloroquine phosphate (CQP) is widely used for treating COVID-19, but its release into water can have potential health impacts. Finding a reusable and efficient catalyst to treat CQP wastewater is urgent. In this study, LaCo0.5Cu0.5O3-CeO2 was prepared and used to degrade CQP by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS). LaCo0.5Cu0.5O3-CeO2 showed better stability, larger specific surface area, and more uniform pore structure. It effectively degraded CQP within a short time and under wide pH and water quality ranges. The addition of CeO2 promoted multipath electron transfer and the degradation of CQP into low toxicity products. LaCo0.5Cu0.5O3-CeO2 has great potential for practical application in treating pharmaceutical wastewater.
