This study investigates the degradation of PET films in soil microcosms, with and without mangrove plants, and with mangrove plants bioaugmented with a bacterial consortium (<i>Bacillus</i> sp.- GPB12 and <i>Enterococcus</i> sp.- WTP31B-5) while following the evolution of soil microcosm microbiome. The ability of bacterial consortia retrieved from soil microcosms of each tested condition to degrade PET intermediates - bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET), terephthalic acid (TPA), and monoethylene glycol (MEG) was also assessed. In the microcosms' assays with mangrove plants, variations in functional groups and surface morphology detected by FTIR and SEM analysis indicated PET degradation. Soil microcosms microbiome evolved differently according to the conditions imposed, with dominance of phylum Proteobacteria in all final microcosms. After 270 days, bacterial consortia retrieved from all soil microcosms revealed to be able to completely degrade TPA within three days. MEG degradation reached ca. 84% using the consortium retrieved from the microcosm with bioaugmented mangrove plants. BHETdegradation was ca. 96% with the consortium obtained from the microcosm with non-bioaugmented mangrove plants. These intermediates are key molecules in PET degradation pathways; thus, their degradation is an indicator of biodegradation potential. To the best of authors' knowledge, this is the first report on biodegradation of PET, BHET, TPA, and MEG by microbial community from mangrove soil, providing insights into key taxa involved in PET degradation.

The objective and main contribution of this study is to identify the operating conditions of a solar Galvano-Fenton (SGF) process for the degradation of commercial CBZ. An Mg/Cu anode/cathode system was used. The anode was placed in parallel, and the cathode was arranged in a spiral shape inside the borosilicate tube at a distance of 0.5 mm. SGF promotes the spontaneous corrosion of Mg and, hence, does not require an external electric current, which is the main advantage of this process. A cylindrical parabolic concentrator (CPC) with a 60° inclination was designed to concentrate UV sunlight. The best operating conditions were obtained through a factorial 3<sup>4</sup> design: hydraulic retention time (90 min), cathode/anode area ratio (1:1), initial CBZ concentration (25 mg/L), and hydrogen peroxide concentration (500 mg/L). The best removal efficiencies achieved were 52.96% CBZ by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and 68.66% chemical oxygen demand (COD) with 766 kJ/L of accumulated energy. The Mg/Cu system has a bifunctional effect on the CBZ removal mechanism: first, as a catalyst to promote oxidation reactions, and second, through the complexation of Mg-(CBZ)<sub>2</sub>.

Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis revealed that the UV/PDS system exhibited higher characteristic peak signal intensities for sulfate radical (<math><mi>S</mi><msubsup><mi>O</mi><mn>4</mn><mrow><mo>⋅</mo><mo>-</mo></mrow></msubsup></math>), superoxide radical (<math><msubsup><mi>O</mi><mn>2</mn><mrow><mo>⋅</mo><mo>-</mo></mrow></msubsup></math>), singlet oxygen (<sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub>), and hydroxyl radical (<math><mi>OH</mi><mo>⋅</mo></math>) compared to the UV/PMS system. In the UV/PDS system, <math><mi>S</mi><msubsup><mi>O</mi><mn>4</mn><mrow><mo>⋅</mo><mo>-</mo></mrow></msubsup></math> and <sup>1</sup>O<sub>2</sub> were identified as the primary contributors to ACE removal, whereas <math><mi>S</mi><msubsup><mi>O</mi><mn>4</mn><mrow><mo>⋅</mo><mo>-</mo></mrow></msubsup></math> was the predominant species in the UV/PMS system. Moreover, the intermediate products generated during the UV/PDS reaction were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). This study demonstrated the feasibility of UV light-activated persulfate systems for ACE treatment, providing a systematic comparison of the performance and mechanisms of ACE degradation between the two systems. The findings offer valuable insights and practical guidance for selecting persulfates in UV light-activated research and applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":12009,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Technology","volume":" ","pages":"3571-3588"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143556320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
