In addition, the catalyst has demonstrated a wide range of adaptability to environmental conditions in the photo-Fenton system, maintaining efficient catalytic performance regardless of water quality differences, environmental factors or different types of antibiotics. The introduction of rare earth element Ce can not only effectively reduce the band gap width of the catalyst and broaden its absorption capacity in the visible light range, but also promote the efficient migration and separation of photogenerated carriers by optimizing the optical properties, further improving the catalytic efficiency. The free radical quenching experiment and electron spin resonance test revealed the core role of photogenerated hole as the main active substance. Combined with high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and density functional theory calculations, the degradation pathways were proposed.

Its suitable treatment of the MSWIFA as a secondary use of the solid waste resources is a hot spot of the current research. This paper aims to investigate the behavior of alkaline reagent pretreatment of MSWIFA, different kinds of alkaline reagents were used to pre-treat MSWIFA. The particle size, microstructure change, element composition, phase change and leaching toxicity of heavy metal ions were studied the MSWIFA, respectively. The following conclusions were mainly obtained: after pre-treatment of MSWIFA with alkaline reagents, the average particle size tends to decrease (down to 13.98 μm). The increasing of intergranular repulsion leads to a uniformly dispersed and dense microscopic morphology of MSWIFA. The increasing of SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ content resulted in a decreasing in MSWIFA alkalinity (minimum value of 9.24) and an increasing in both its volcanic ash activity. The leaching concentration of the four heavy metal ions, namely Pb, Zn, Cu and Sr were decreased. Overall, alkaline solution pretreatment of MSWIFA was more effective, while 0.35 mol/L Na₂CO₃ had the best effect. The lowest leaching concentrations of Pb, Zn, Cu, and Sr were 3.97 mg/L, 1.58 mg/L, 4.13 mg/L, and 4.6 mg/L respectively. Alkaline reagent pretreatment of MSWIFA mainly includes: alkaline environment effect, chemical reaction effect and particle size effect.

The effects of different pyrolysis factors on the Pb and Cd sorption capacities of three types of K₂CO₃-activated biochar (ABC) were analyzed. A series of characterization analyses were applied to compare the differences between various ABCs and to explore the Pb and Cd removal mechanisms. The results showed that the pyrolysis temperature, residence time and K₂CO₃ concentration obviously affect the sorption capacity of all ABCs. According to characterization, SMS had a loosely porous structure, which might be more favorable for K₂CO₃ activation. Furthermore, SMS possessed a rich elemental composition. Therefore, the pyrolysis product derived from SMS exhibited a larger specific surface area and higher polar functional group content, which might be the reason why ABCs synthesized from SMS exhibited better Pb and Cd sorption capacities than did ABCs synthesized from CS or HS. Moreover, the contributions of different Pb or Cd sorption mechanisms by different ABCs decreased as follows: mineral precipitation &gt; cation exchange &gt; complexation of oxygen-containing functional groups &gt; π-bonding or physical sorption.

However, the widespread use of these nanoparticles raises concerns regarding their potential release into soil environments, and also into the soil solution. Therefore, this study aims to delve into the interplay between different soil solution properties and the stability as well as photocatalytic activity of commercially available ZnO nanoparticles. It is observed that these interactions precipitate a reduction in the primary crystallite sizes of ZnO, primarily attributed to the release of Zn2+ ions under acidic conditions, and the formation of zinc complexes or hydroxides in alkaline environments. In acidic media, there is a concomitant decrease in the hydrodynamic diameter of ZnO, serving as further confirmation of Zn2+ release, which is corroborated by analytical measurements. Conversely, in alkaline mediums, the hydrodynamic diameter remains unaltered, suggesting the formation of an amorphous layer on the nanoparticle surface in such conditions. Further analyses into the surface chemistry of ZnO nanoparticles reveal the adsorption of various organic substances onto their surfaces. These organic compounds potentially function as electron traps or occupy active sites, however, after the interaction with soil solutions, the material was still able to degrade the model pollutant. So, the interaction with soil solutions reduced the activity, but the catalyst retained its efficiency. In essence, this study underscores the importance of comprehensively understanding the behavior of ZnO nanoparticles in soil environments. Such insights are pivotal for informed decision-making regarding the sustainable utilization of ZnO nanoparticles across various industrial domains.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142713320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
