Electrochemical filtration-oxidation process is promising because it can adsorb and degrade pollutants simultaneously. However, stability and efficiency of anodic filter requires improvement. Here, abatement effectiveness of dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) in water via an electrochemical filtration process using graphene oxide (GO)–metal organic frameworks (MOFs) anodic filter was extensively elaborated. It is anticipated that MOFs can enhance stability of the filter; hence either MIL-53(Al) or NH₂MIL-53(Al) was added to form the hybrid filter. GO had a greater DCAA uptake (∼40.5 mg/g) than MOFs. At electro-filtration, adsorption played a dominant role when the GO-based membrane was used (reduction of 73–79 %), while composite membranes composed of GO and MIL-53 (Al) (GO:MIL-53(Al)) membrane showed a greater reduction than GO:NH₂MIL-53 (Al) membrane. The effectiveness of GO membrane dropped substantially to ∼18 % after reuse. Under applying DC current (1.83 mA/cm²), the DCAA reduction by GO:MIL-53 (Al) and GO:NH₂MIL-53(Al) membranes became similar to the GO membrane. Compared with GO membrane, composite membranes had better reusability for the DCAA reduction. The role of indirect oxidation was elaborated. While maintaining the same ionic strength of different background ions (i.e. Na₂SO₄ and NaCl), SO₄^• was found to be the predominant radical for DCAA reduction.

To address this, we synthesized a Cu-MMT/CS (montmorillonite/chitosan) composite catalyst via a straightforward two-step pyrolysis method, leveraging the chelating ability of chitosan and the layered structure of montmorillonite to disperse Cu NPs. The optimized Cu-MMT/CS catalyst achieved exceptional performance, removing more than 98 % of Cr(VI) within 6 min via formic acid (FA) as a reductant, and maintained its high efficiency even in the presence of common environmental anions such as Cl^-、NO₃^-、SO₄^2-、CO₃^2-、H₂PO₄^-. The uniformly dispersed Cu nanoparticles serve as the active sites for the catalytic reaction, while the high degree of graphitization of the carrier (MMT/CS structure) and the low charge transfer resistance facilitate charge transfer between the catalyst and FA, promoting the decomposition of FA to produce active hydrogen, which in turn enhances the ability to reduce Cr(VI).

Therefore, a fundamental shift in recycling processes to handle diverse battery chemistries is required to transform the current state of recycling. Acid-based hydrometallurgical processes are the most commonly used and promising techniques for recovering precious metals from spent LIBs. However, developing a sustainable and effective approach for the complete recovery of these resources from the multi-component leachate of LIBs after acid leaching is still challenging.

Using a simple reduction method with vitamin C, the Ce(III) content and surface hydroxyl groups increased significantly in CHN, resulting in a substantial improvement in phosphate adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of vitamin C-treated cerium hydroxide nanoparticles (VC-CHN) reached 113.4 mg P g⁻¹ , 2.2 times higher than untreated CHN. Furthermore, adding a small amount of persulfate (PDS) to the alkaline desorption solution significantly optimized the phosphate desorption process, effectively mitigating the inhibition caused by natural organic matter (NOM). This redox modulation strategy allowed the CHN adsorbent to maintain excellent reusability in natural water containing complex chemical species. Therefore, modulating redox processes offers a novel and effective approach for removing and recovering phosphate using metal oxide adsorbents.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering","volume":"13 3","pages":"Article 116167"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143636314","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}
