In this study, the effect of SDOM on chlorpyrifos (CPF) degradation was investigated in microwave-activated peroxymonosulfate system, the composition and transformation of SDOM by singlet oxygen (¹O₂)-dominated PS-AOPs was systematically analyzed through optical characterization and molecular-level analysis. As a result, a significant negative correlation between CPF degradation and SDOM contents demonstrated the inhibitory role of SDOM. The dissolution/extraction, oxidative depolymerization, and oxidative catalysis of SDOM occurred between soil phase and aqueous phase. With increasing PMS dose from 0 to 17.6 g/kg, relatively saturated molecules with lower oxidation degree and aromaticity were converted into unsaturated and oxidized ones with higher aromaticity, concomitant with a reduction in molecular weight. While at 26.4 g/kg of PMS dose, the concentrated aromatic structures and tannins with higher unsaturation were mainly oxidized, accompanying with the production of substances such as lipids, proteins/aminosugars, lignin with lower aromaticity and unsaturation. The ¹O₂-mediated transformation of SDOM proceeded through multiple reaction pathways including electrophilic addition, single electron transfer, and addition to heteroatom, ultimately resulting in ring opening and cleavage of SDOM molecules. Although an increased PMS dose enhanced CPF degradation, it also led to lower PMS utilization efficiency and higher ecological risks because of the competitive reactions of SDOM. Therefore, elucidating transformation and inhibition mechanisms of SDOM provide a new sight for the application of ¹O₂-dominated PS-AOPs in soil remediation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering","volume":"14 2","pages":"Article 121165"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145981484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, black titanium dioxide (B-TiO₂) with excellent antibacterial properties was firstly prepared using a high-temperature reduction method. TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl)-oxidized cellulose nanofiber nanoparticles (TOCNFs) incorporated with Polyacrylamide (PAAm) to prepare PAAm/TOCNFs (PT) hydrogel evaporator.

The introduction of TOCNFs increased the evaporation rate to 3.94 kg·m⁻²·h⁻¹, and decreased the latent heat of water in the PTBT evaporator to 889.75 kJ·kg⁻¹. Benefiting from the photocatalytic antibacterial properties of B-TiO₂, the antibacterial efficiency of PTBT against <em>E. coli</em> and <em>S. aureus</em> reached 99.9 % and 99.8 %, respectively. Additionally, during the evaporation process, the PTBT evaporator exhibited salt tolerance and generated an open-circuit voltage as high as 184 mV.

This review establishes a bidirectional feedback framework to elucidate how ENMs reshape rhizosphere microhabitats and, conversely, how soil-plant-microbe crosstalk dictates ENMs fates. Within this framework, soil properties, microbial extracellular matrices and root exudate chemodynamics emerge as master regulators of ENMs transformation cascades, thereby redefining paradigms of nanoecotoxicity and the associated feedback loops. Further, this review proposes the nano-feedback threshold (NFT) hypothesis, suggesting that microbial functional redundancy, plant tolerance and the chemodiversity of soil factors jointly buffer ENMs perturbations until a threshold is crossed, triggering cascading ecosystem reorganization. Critically, interdisciplinary integration approaches integrating multi-scale and multi-dimensional perspectives are necessary for decoding the feedback loops and NFT of ENMs in the rhizosphere.

In this study, sludge-derived hydrothermal carbon prepared with rice husk (SHC-IV) was applied as a bio-carrier to enhance the anaerobic digestion performance of tetracycline(TC)-contaminated sludge.
