A novel catalyst was synthesized with deep eutectic solvent (DES). The effects of DES type on catalytic performance was evaluated and the catalysts were characterized using XRD, SEM, BET, XPS, and EDS. DES-based catalysts exhibited higher efficiency due to structure change, surface area enhancement and significantly improved Favipiravir adsorption. The DES-based catalyst exhibited a 30 % increase in surface area and a 20-fold increase in Mn content. Additionally, XRD and XPS analyses suggested the reduction of Fe³⁺ ions, possibly to Fe₃O₄. Optimal operational parameters (pH = 10, catalyst dose = 500 mg/L, and rox = 20) provide removal efficiency of 70.1 % after 3 h. The catalyst showed stable activity after three cycles, indicating reusability.

The experimental results showed that under the highest-efficiency conditions (chemical combination of MgCl₂.6H₂O + NaH₂PO₄.2H₂O, a molar ratio of Mg²⁺:NH₄⁺-N:PO₄^3–P = 1.2:1:1, a reaction pH of 9.0 ± 0.10, [NH₄⁺-N]₀ = 240 ± 20 mg/L, and a reaction time of 15 min), MAP precipitation could effectively remove more than 80 %, 60 %, 55 %, and 70 % of color, total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD), soluble COD (SCOD), and ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N) from the raw RSSW. The results of the Fenton's oxidation used as the post-treatment unit of the proposed MAPFOX system indicated that the integrated advanced oxidation process (AOP) was able to reduce the residual pollutant levels in the MAP-pretreated RSSW to the relevant discharge standards. Under the subsequent condition of [Fe²⁺]₀ = 90 mmol/L, [H₂O₂]₀ = 180 mmol/L, reaction pH = 3.25, and total reaction time = 60 min, more than 97 % of color, TCOD, SCOD, and NH₄⁺-N could be removed from the RSSW via the Fenton's oxidation after the MAP-based physicochemical treatment. According to SEM micrographs, surface morphology of dehydrated struvite exhibited irregular-shaped and overlapping sharp-edged particles of various sizes with an average size of about 50.9 μm. The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the active functional groups and type of bonds for the high-strength RSSW-oriented struvite (heated) within the spectral range of 4000–450 cm⁻¹. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Derivative Thermogravimetry (DTG), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) of the dehydrated struvite revealed that the weight loss occurred in three temperature zones, the maximum weight loss rate of 0.252 mg/min was recorded at around 224 °C and at time of 20.83 min, and the sample had strong endothermic and medium exothermic peaks at about 241 °C and 679 °C, respectively.

However, several negative environmental impacts are associated with the resulting brine, for which a range of treatment, recovery, and disposal technologies have been suggested in the academic literature. Despite this, the technological emphasis fails to explain the absence of sustainable practices in many countries or the roles and responsibilities of involved actors. There is also a lack of consistent conceptualizations that include regulatory and governance-related issues. In this review paper, we examined the brine management issue in desalination activities as a socio-technical issue that needs to be embedded more strongly within governance and regulatory frameworks. Case experiences and options related to command and control, economic regulation, market-based approaches and public support are discussed and linked with brine management practices. This review paper shows that baseline regulations such as standards, assessments, and thresholds are still emerging, but they need to be complemented by approaches focusing on desalination costs and environmental performance. Overall, cross-sectoral collaboration in designing local brine regulation options is important for solving the brine issue. There is a need to create a joint action arena between the desalination industry, the public sector, and actors involved in innovations related to brine management. Besides, public leadership, through providing incentives and investments, is highly valuable for sustainable brine management. This leadership should address the cost of brine treatment or the required infrastructural development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"30 ","pages":"Article 100225"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45858852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
