Summary: Treating domestic wastewater with high content of different detergents is becoming more complex. Advanced electro-oxidation (AEO) using boron-doped diamond (BDD) as the anode and stainless steel as the cathode is an effective tool for complex wastewater remediation. By studying different flow rates and current densities, it was found that applying a current density of 14 mA cm(-2) and a flow rate of 1.5 L min(-1) for 7 hours achieved efficient mineralization of wastewater, removing significant amounts of surfactants, COD, turbidity, and TOC. However, toxicity assays showed that Chlorella microalgae were unable to grow in the AEO-treated wastewater. The technology has a calculated operating cost of 1.40 USD m(-3).

Summary: In this work, diclofenac removal in tap water was achieved using TiO2 nanotube growth on Ti mesh substrate assisted by ozone generated from a hole-arrayed boron-doped diamond (HABDD) film electrode. The enhanced degradation effect from ozone molecules on TiO2 photocatalysis was attributed to the larger active surface area, increased charge separation rate, and contact area of ozone. This synergetic system shows promise in the treatment of pharmaceuticals in water.

Summary: The electro-peroxone (EP) process is an electricity-based oxidation process that generates hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from cathodic oxygen (O2) reduction to remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Compared to ozonation alone, the EP process exhibits higher center dot OH exposures but lower O3 exposures, resulting in a moderately decreased efficiency of ARB inactivation and ARG degradation. However, the EP process effectively cleaves plasmid DNA to shorter fragments, reducing the risks of natural transformation of ARGs. Consideration of the effects of the EP process on ARB and ARG inactivation is important for water treatment implementation.

Summary: Electrochemically producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with natural air diffusion electrode (NADE) is an attractive way for decentralized water treatment. However, the presence of calcium ions (Ca2+) in water matrices can cause significant deterioration of NADE stability during H2O2 electroproduction, leading to reduced current efficiencies. Proper strategies are needed to mitigate electrode fouling during H2O2 electroproduction in practical water and wastewater treatment.

Summary: Superoxide radicals (O-2(center dot-)) are important chain carriers in the radical chain reaction during ozonation, promoting the decomposition of ozone (O-3) to hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot). This study used a probe compound and kinetic modeling to evaluate the role of O-2(center dot-) for O-3 decomposition during ozonation of synthetic solutions and natural waters. The results showed that O-2(center dot-) plays a critical role in promoting O-3 decomposition, with its contribution ranging from 45-70% depending on water composition.

Summary: Adding catalysts can enhance pollutant removal during ozonation experiments, but it is unclear whether it is due to increased (OH)-O-center dot yield or higher O-3 utilization efficiency. This study compared conventional ozonation and catalytic ozonation using carbon nanotube catalysts and found that while all the catalysts accelerated O-3 transfer and pollutant removal, many of them did not enhance the extent of removal when the same amount of O-3 was consumed. This suggests that the catalysts may not enhance pollutant removal in large-scale applications as they do in laboratory experiments.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages.
