Abstract

Owing to the expansion of the manufacturing industry, bisphenol A (BPA) is being discharged into aquatic environments, posing a global concern. Numerous studies have recognized the adverse effects of BPA exposure on ecosystems and humans. Therefore, advanced remediation technologies are gaining increasing attention. Beyond the achievements of conventional water treatment processes, sonocatalysis provides several benefits, including effectiveness under ambient conditions, promising mineralization efficiency, and compatibility with nanostructured or hybrid catalysts. This review presents progress and developments made over the past ten years in the field of sonocatalysis related to BPA. Focusing mainly on BPA sonodegradation mechanisms, the effects of solution chemistry (e.g., pH, temperature, naturally occurring ions, natural organic matter, and scavengers), ultrasonication parameters (e.g., ultrasonic frequency, power, and operation mode), and the physicochemical properties of BPA (e.g., pK_a, hydrophobicity, and molecular configuration) were evaluated. Overall, sonocatalysis demonstrated competent BPA degradation, whereas hybrid systems (e.g., O₃, sono-Fenton, and ultraviolet/visible light irradiation) enhanced radical utilization. Finally, we discuss the current limitations and potential areas for future research, with the aim of guiding subsequent investigations towards practical applications.

水溶液中双酚A的声催化降解研究进展

由于制造业的扩大，双酚A （BPA）被排放到水生环境中，引起了全球关注。许多研究已经认识到BPA暴露对生态系统和人类的不利影响。因此，先进的修复技术越来越受到重视。除了传统水处理工艺的成就之外，声催化还具有许多优点，包括在环境条件下的有效性，有希望的矿化效率，以及与纳米结构或混合催化剂的兼容性。本文综述了近十年来双酚a超声催化领域的研究进展。主要研究了双酚a的声降解机制，评价了溶液化学（如pH、温度、天然离子、天然有机物和清除剂）、超声参数（如超声频率、功率和工作模式）和双酚a的理化性质（如pKa、疏水性和分子构型）的影响。总的来说，声催化显示了良好的双酚a降解能力，而混合系统（如O3、声- fenton和紫外/可见光照射）提高了自由基的利用。最后，我们讨论了当前的局限性和未来研究的潜在领域，旨在指导后续研究走向实际应用。
