Abstract
This study is first to elucidate the efficacy of electrochemical activation of periodate (PI) by permanganate (PM) in enhancing the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) over a wide pH spectrum. Utilizing a current density of 4 mA/cm2, 200 μM PI, and 20 μM PM, the proposed system achieved a 99.8 % degradation of 40 μM BPA within 30 min and a 65.5 % total organic carbon (TOC) removal in 120 min. The combined system yielded a synergistic coefficient of 15.23 for BPA degradation, and energy efficiency of 0.14 KWh•m−3. The exceptional performance is attributed to the reduction of PM to low-valent manganese species at the cathode, which facilitates the activation of PI. Additionally, the system preserved high BPA degradation efficiency across a pH range of 3–11. Radical quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments confirmed the pivotal role of singlet oxygen in the degradation process. Furthermore, the system exhibited relative insensitivity to actual water matrix constituents, including inorganic ions and humic acid. In conclusion, the proposed system constitutes an eco-friendly treatment process for BPA removal characterized by low energy consumption.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Water Process Engineering aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and impact in all areas of the engineering of water and wastewater processing . Papers on advanced and novel treatment processes and technologies are particularly welcome. The Journal considers papers in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology applications in water, novel oxidation and separation processes, membrane processes (except those for desalination) , catalytic processes for the removal of water contaminants, sustainable processes, water reuse and recycling, water use and wastewater minimization, integrated/hybrid technology, process modeling of water treatment and novel treatment processes. Submissions on the subject of adsorbents, including standard measurements of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium will only be considered if there is a genuine case for novelty and contribution, for example highly novel, sustainable adsorbents and their use: papers on activated carbon-type materials derived from natural matter, or surfactant-modified clays and related minerals, would not fulfil this criterion. The Journal particularly welcomes contributions involving environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, including those which are energy-efficient, with minimal or no chemical consumption, and capable of water recycling and reuse that minimizes the direct disposal of wastewater to the aquatic environment. Papers that describe novel ideas for solving issues related to water quality and availability are also welcome, as are those that show the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. The Journal will consider papers dealing with processes for various water matrices including drinking water (except desalination), domestic, urban and industrial wastewaters, in addition to their residues. It is expected that the journal will be of particular relevance to chemical and process engineers working in the field. The Journal welcomes Full Text papers, Short Communications, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to Editors and Case Studies
