AB  - The heterogeneous-homogeneous coupled Fenton (HHCF) processes combine the advantages of rapid reaction and the catalyst reuse, which makes them attractive for wastewater treatment. Nevertheless, the lack of both, cost-effective catalysts and the desirable Fe3+/Fe2+ conversion mediators limit the development of HHCF processes. This study investigates a prospective HHCF process, in which solid waste copper slag (CS) and dithionite (DNT) act as catalyst and mediator of Fe3+/Fe2+ transformation, respectively. DNT enables controlled leaching of iron and a highly efficient homogeneous Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle by dissociating to SO2- • under acidic conditions,
leading to the enhanced H2O2 decomposition and •OH generation (from 48 μmol/L to 399 μmol/L) for pchloroaniline (p-CA) degradation. The removal rate of p-CA in the CS/DNT/H2O2 system increased by 30 times in comparison with the CS/H2O2 system (increased from 1.21 × 10-3 min-1 to 3.61 × 10-2 min-1). Moreover, batch dosing of H2O2 can greatly promote the yield of •OH (from 399 μmol/L to 627 μmol/L), by mitigating the side reactions between H2O2 and SO2- •. This study highlights the importance of the iron cycle regulation for improvement of the Fenton efficiency and develops a cost-effective Fenton system for organic contaminants elimination in wastewater.

AB  - The growing problem of typical organic pollution in mines, and the effective utilization of increasing mine industrial wastes have been the most challenging issues in the current global situation. In this study, copper smelting slag (CSS), hydroxylamine (HA) and H2O2 were employed to construct an efficient surface heterogeneous catalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants in mines. Fayalite and its ≡Fe were proved, by multiple methods, to be the crucial ferriferous catalyst in the CSS. HA greatly increased the oxidation effectiveness of the CSS from 53.6% to ~100% by regulating the Fe2+/Fe3+ circulation within the fayalite lattice. Due to the special structural configuration of iron atoms in fayalite, the surface generation rate of •OH catalyzed by CSS was 101-106 times higher than in other iron-bearing minerals. •OH was demonstrated to be the main active radical species, and as an intermediate, O2•- also had a role in the oxidation process. In the presence of low doses of Cr, a synergistic removal of organic pollutants occurred, dominated by the electron transfer. Accordingly, this study proposes both, a new design concept for recycling the industrial solid waste from mines and a new surface catalyst system for the removal of organic pollutants from mining.

AB  - A series of goethite-modified montmorillonite (GMt) materials was synthesized for the amelioration of cationic
cadmium (Cd) and anionic arsenic (As) complex contaminants in soil and water bodies. The results showed that
goethite (Gt) was successfully loaded onto the surface of montmorillonite (Mt), which possessed more functional
groups (such as Fe–O, and Fe–OH) and a larger specific surface area. GMt-0.5 (Mt loaded with Gt at a ratio of
0.5:1) showed the highest adsorption capacity for Cd(II) and As(III) with the maximum of 50.61 mg/g and 57.58
mg/g, respectively. The removal rate of Cd(II) was highly pH dependent, while the removal rate of As(III)
showed little dependence on pH. The goethite on montmorillonite might contribute to the formation of surface
complexes with As(III) and oxidation of As(III) to As(V). In the binary system, both, synergistic and competitive
adsorption existed simultaneously. Importantly, in the binary system, the removal of As(III) was more favorable
because of the electrostatic interaction, formation of a ternary complex, and co-precipitation. In addition, the
amendment of GMt-0.5 significantly reduced the availability of Cd and As in the soil. This study suggests that
GMt-0.5 is a promising candidate for the simultaneous immobilization of metal (loid)s in both, aqueous solution
and mine soil.

AB  - UV-assisted advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are widely used and studied in degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). However, detailed information on their radical chemistry and degradation mechanisms is still lacking. In this study, degradation of BPA was comparatively evaluated to investigate the radical mechanisms, products and the toxicity variation in UV/chlorine and UV/H2O2 processes. In comparison with UV/H2O2, UV/chlorine had a higher BPA degradation efficiency and higher pH-dependency due to chlorination and the synergy of •OH and RCS. The •OH and Cl• played a pivotal role as the primary radicals in BPA degradation by UV/chlorine process at all pH investigated (6–8). The relative contributions of the secondary radicals ClO• gradually decreased with a variation of pH from 6 to 8 in this process. Presence of HCO3─ and HA inhibited BPA degradation to different extents in UV/chlorine process, while the effect of Cl─ could be neglected. According to the identified transformation products, chlorination (major), hydroxylation and breakage of the isopropylidene chain were BPA decomposition pathways in the UV/chlorine system. In the UV/H2O2 system, only hydroxylation (major) and breakage of the isopropylidene chain occurred. The toxicity analysis, based on the proposed degradation pathways, indicated that the generation of chlorinated products in the UV/chlorine system led to a higher toxicity of the resulting mixture than in the UV/H2O2 system. Although UV/chlorine has an excellent BPA degradation effect and it is cost-effective, the possible environmental risk should be carefully considered when UV/chlorine system is used to remove BPA in real waters.

AB  - This work systematically studied the kinetics and mechanism of degradation of salicylhydroxamic acid (SHA), benzhydroxamic acid (BHA) and N-hydroxyphthalimide (NOP) by UVA-B/H2O2 and UVA-B/peroxodisulfate (PDS). UVA-B irradiation could induce a direct photolysis of SHA and dominated SHA destruction in both systems. BHA and NOP were effectively degraded via HO•- and SO4•−-mediated oxidation. UVA-B/PDS displayed a better degradation performance for HAAs investigated than UVA-B/H2O2. An acidic pH was more suitable for three HAAs removal in the UVA-B/H2O2 system. However, basic pH was more efficient for HAAs degradation in the UVA-B/PDS system. The degradation of BHA and NOP was predominantly driven by SO4•− at all pH levels used (5.0–9.0). The second-order rate constants for SHA, BHA and NOP reactions with HO• and SO4•− were calculated to be (4.16–5.22) × 109 M−1•s−1 and (1.19–7.22) × 109 M−1•s−1, respectively. Presence of various water constituents had different influence on HAA removal, with a enhancement in the presence of HCO3–, Fe2+ and Cu2+. When real waters were used as a background, dissolved organic carbon and Cl− were the main factors that consumed radicals and affected the degradation performance of HAAs. Analysis of the transformation products and density functional theory revealed that all of the investigated HAAs first generated amidated products but the formation mechanisms might have been different. HAAs degradation pathways mainly included hydrolysis, hydroxylation, decarboxylation and ring opening processes. Toxicity evaluation showed that the UV/AOP degradation of HAAs generated some transformation products with higher acute toxicity than the parent compounds.

AB  - In this study, efficient simultaneous elimination of typical mine pollutants benzotriazole (BTA) and Cr(VI) was achieved by using a copper slag (CS) activated peroxodisulfate (PDS) Fenton system, with WS2 as a co-catalyst. The combined use of these two mine-sourced materials enables excellent pollution removal efficiency. CS can continuously release ferrous ions for the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), while WS2 as a co-catalyst has key roles in acceleration of the rate-limiting step of Fe3+/Fe2+ conversion and prevention of Fe3+ precipitation. In this process, Fe3+/Fe2+ conversion primarily occurs on the surface of WS2, whereas PDS decomposition and BTA degradation are dominated by homogeneous Fenton reactions. Dissolved Fe2+ has a main role in the activation of PDS and generation of ROS. The contributions of free radicals, singlet oxygen and Fe(IV) in BTA degradation were carefully evaluated. Fe(IV) was identified as the major ROS responsible for degradation of BTA in the CS/WS2/PDS system. This was further confirmed by the Raman spectra and the detection of BTA degradation products formed by the transfer of oxygen atoms. Kinetics calculation showed that Fe(IV) was responsible for 63.4 % of the degradation of BTA. More importantly, water matrix had a low impact on the degradation of BTA due to the high selectivity of Fe(IV). This study provides a new strategy for a cost-effective and efficient decontamination of the environment in mining areas.

CS can continuously release ferrous ions for the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), while WS2 as a co-catalyst has key roles in acceleration of the rate-limiting step of Fe3+/Fe2+ conversion and prevention of Fe3+ precipitation. In this process, Fe3+/Fe2+ conversion primarily occurs on the surface of WS2, whereas PDS decomposition and BTA degradation are dominated by homogeneous Fenton reactions. Dissolved Fe2+ has a main role in the activation of PDS and generation of ROS. The contributions of free radicals, singlet oxygen and Fe(IV) in BTA degradation were carefully evaluated. Fe(IV) was identified as the major ROS responsible for degradation of BTA in the CS/WS2/PDS system. This was further confirmed by the Raman spectra and the detection of BTA degradation products formed by the transfer of oxygen atoms. Kinetics calculation showed that Fe(IV) was responsible for 63.4 % of the degradation of BTA. More importantly, water matrix had a low impact on the degradation of BTA due to the high selectivity of Fe(IV). This study provides a new strategy for a cost-effective and efficient decontamination of the environment in mining areas.",

AB  - The organic pollution generated during production and processing in the mining area seriously endangers the ecological security of the surrounding environment. In this study, degradation of α-nitroso-β-naphthol (αNβN), a typical organic flotation reagent in mining area, by using steel converter slag (SCS) as a low-cost catalyst was reported for the first time. The results showed that SCS + H2O2 could effectively remove αNβN from water solutions. In the system used in this study, more than 98.8 % of αNβN could be removed within 60 min. Based on the analysis of the experimental results, the synergistic mechanism of radical and non-radical pathways was proposed. The radical pathway mainly consisted of [rad]OH radical oxidation, while the non-free radical pathway consisted of 1O2 and electron transfer. Fe, bridging OH and terminal OH on the surface of SCS were the active sites for H2O2 activation. The removal performance of the system was not affected by common coexisting ions, and showed strong anti-interference ability. After 4 times repeated use, the removal efficiency still reached more than 83 %. HPLC-MS was used to analyze the intermediate products, while the changes in their toxicity effects were analyzed by microcalorimetry for the first time. The results showed that the system could effectively reduce the ecotoxicity of a water solution containing αNβN. This study provides not only a new strategy for treating organic pollution in mining areas, but also a new idea for the green cycle development of industry and mining from the perspective of “treat the wastes with wastes”.

AB  - This work systematically studied the kinetics and mechanism of degradation of salicylhydroxamic acid (SHA), benzhydroxamic acid (BHA) and N-hydroxyphthalimide (NOP) by UVA-B/H2O2 and UVA-B/peroxodisulfate (PDS). UVA-B irradiation could induce a direct photolysis of SHA and dominated SHA destruction in both systems. BHA and NOP were effectively degraded via HO•- and SO4•−-mediated oxidation. UVA-B/PDS displayed a better degradation performance for HAAs investigated than UVA-B/H2O2. An acidic pH was more suitable for three HAAs removal in the UVA-B/H2O2 system. However, basic pH was more efficient for HAAs degradation in the UVA-B/PDS system. The degradation of BHA and NOP was predominantly driven by SO4•− at all pH levels used (5.0–9.0). The second-order rate constants for SHA, BHA and NOP reactions with HO• and SO4•− were calculated to be (4.16–5.22) × 109 M−1•s−1 and (1.19–7.22) × 109 M−1•s−1, respectively. Presence of various water constituents had different influence on HAA removal, with a enhancement in the presence of HCO3–, Fe2+ and Cu2+. When real waters were used as a background, dissolved organic carbon and Cl− were the main factors that consumed radicals and affected the degradation performance of HAAs. Analysis of the transformation products and density functional theory revealed that all of the investigated HAAs first generated amidated products but the formation mechanisms might have been different. HAAs degradation pathways mainly included hydrolysis, hydroxylation, decarboxylation and ring opening processes. Toxicity evaluation showed that the UV/AOP degradation of HAAs generated some transformation products with higher acute toxicity than the parent compounds.

AB  - The environmental impact of the mining industry requires efficient and eco-friendly technologies to mitigate the presence of mineral flotation reagents (MFRs) in mineral processing wastewater (MPW) prior to their discharge into the environment. In this work, for the first time, a robust, easily separable and reusable biocatalyst, Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Lac, was used for the degradation of a novel mineral flotation reagent 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ). Under optimized conditions, Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Lac achieved 89.2% 8-HQ degradation efficiency within 6 h. The effect of the main constituents of MPW on 8-HQ degradation, including metal ions, organic solvents, surfactant, metal chelator and flotation frother was evaluated. The Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Lac also displayed favorable degradation efficiency of 8-HQ in real lead–zinc mine water. The biocatalyst could be easily recovered and had a satisfactory reusability, retaining 64.5% of 8-HQ degradation efficiency in the sixth reaction cycle. Identification of intermediate products revealed that Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Lac mediated reaction predominantly generated various structural 8-HQ oligomers/polymers. A potential degradation pathway for 8-HQ was speculated as follows: Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Lac initially catalyzed the oxidation of 8-HQ to yield the corresponding reactive radical intermediates, which subsequently undergone self-coupling reaction via C − C and C − O − C covalent coupling at their ortho and/or para positions, finally forming oligomers and polymers. The inhibition assays of marine bacterium (Vibrio fischeri) demonstrated that the toxicity of 8-HQ and its intermediate products was effectively reduced after Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2-Lac treatment. The results of this study might present an alternative immobilized laccase-based clean biotechnology for the clean-up and detoxification of 8-HQ contaminated MPW.

The results of this study might present an alternative immobilized laccase-based clean biotechnology for the clean-up and detoxification of 8-HQ contaminated MPW.",

AB  - The heavy metal and organic pollution caused by mining activities keep attracting attention, thus an economic and efficient treatment for combined pollution is pressing. In this study, the simultaneous removal performance of typical organic flotation reagent 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) and Cr(VI) was investigated via heterogeneous Fenton process induced by a novel polydopamine (PDA) functionalized attapulgite supported nano sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) composite (PDA/ATP-nZVI). Batch experiments showed that PDA/ATP-nZVI had better catalytic reactivity and reduction ability than both ATP-nZVI and nZVI. Under acidic condition, 96.0% of 8-HQ was degraded accompanied with the 42.5% of total organic carbon (TOC) decrease, while 95.8% of Cr(VI) removal efficiency was accomplished by PDA/ATP-nZVI. PDA not only served as redox mediator in expediting electron transfer, but also acted as electron donor that accelerated transformation from Fe(III) to both dissolved Fe(II) and surface Fe(II), which resulted in the increased degradation of 8-HQ. The synergic removal behavior between 8-HQ and Cr(VI) was discussed and the reaction mechanism in the persulfate (PS)-PDA/ATP-nZVI system was also explored. This study developed a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst, and demonstrated that the PS-PDA/ATP-nZVI system had a potential for remediation of mine environment polluted by both heavy metals and organic flotation reagents.

AB  - In this study, a polydopamine (PDA) modified attapulgite (ATP) supported nano sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) composite (PDA/ATP-nZVI) was rapidly synthesized under acidic conditions, and employed to alleviate Cr(VI) toxicity from an aqueous solution. Kinetic studies revealed that Cr(VI) adsorption process followed the pseudo-second order model, suggesting chemisorption was the dominant adsorption mechanism. Liu isotherm adsorption model was able to better describe the Cr(VI) adsorption isotherm with the maximum adsorption capacity of 134.05 mg/g. The thermodynamic study demonstrated that the adsorption process occurred spontaneously, accompanied by the increase in entropy and endothermic reaction. Low concentrations of coexisting ions had negligible effects on the removal of Cr(VI), while high concentrations of interfering ions were able to facilitate the removal of Cr(VI). Reactive species test revealed that Fe2+ played a key role in Cr(VI) reduction by PDA/ATP-nZVI. PDA enhanced the elimination of Cr(VI) via donation of electrons to Cr(VI) and acceleration of Fe3+ transformation to Fe2+. Furthermore, PDA was able to effectively inhibit the leaching of iron species and generation of ferric hydroxide sludge. Mechanistic study revealed that 72% of Cr(VI) elimination was attributed to reduction/precipitation, while 28% of Cr(VI) elimination was due to the surface adsorption.
