In batch operation, investigation of the external pore structures through optical microscopy suggested that a low porosity electrode with sparse connection between pores may lead to mechanical failure of the pore network during electrolysis, whereas a high porosity electrode is vulnerable to pore clogging. Electrodes with intermediate porosity, instead, only suffered a moderate surface deposition, leading to electrical energy savings of 21% and 36% in terms of electrocoagulant delivery and unit log virus reduction, respectively. Neutron computed tomography revealed the critical role of electrode porosity in utilizing the electrode's internal surface for electrodissolution and effective delivery of electrocoagulant to the bulk.

Advanced reduction processes (ARPs) based on strong reducibility of hydrated electrons (e<sub>aq</sub><sup>–</sup>) are effective for destroying recalcitrant fluorinated organic pollutants. Ultraviolet (UV) photolysis is a frequently used method for producing e<sub>aq</sub><sup>–</sup>, but it is limited by the need for chemical addition and light-shielding effects. This study reported the generation of e<sub>aq</sub><sup>–</sup> via electron tunneling based on the n<sup>+</sup>Si/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> cathode with a metal–insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure for the rapid reductive degradation of a halogenated emerging pollutant (florfenicol, FLO). The results demonstrate that the n<sup>+</sup>Si/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> cathode achieved 97.5% degradation (30 min), accounting for 92.3% defluorination and 97.0% dechlorination (120 min). The electrogenerated e<sub>aq</sub><sup>–</sup> was responsible for the degradation and dehalogenation of FLO, as indicated by electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements, scavenger experiments, and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) tests. The theoretical calculations revealed the occurrence of electron tunneling on the thin Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> film at the n<sup>+</sup>Si/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> cathode, where the tunneling electron jumped to the water to form e<sub>aq</sub><sup>–</sup>. The ARPs based on electrogenerated e<sub>aq</sub><sup>–</sup> also demonstrated efficient degradation of chloramphenicol (CAP), hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and levofloxacin (LVF). This study not only provides a simple approach to e<sub>aq</sub><sup>–</sup> generation via the electron tunneling effect but also suggests a possible strategy for developing ARPs to remove halogenated emerging organic pollutants in water.","PeriodicalId":7008,"journal":{"name":"ACS ES&T engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored the oxidation behavior, kinetics, and reaction mechanisms of using peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to mediate the co-oxidation of Fe(II) and Mn(II) in natural water. At [Fe(II)] and [Mn(II)] of 1 mg/L, PMS oxidized all Fe(II) spontaneously within 15 s, irrespective of the oxidant concentration (50–500 μM) and solution pH (6–9), while it required 7–30 min for complete Mn(II) oxidation, indicating its distinctive behavior in reacting with Fe(II) and Mn(II).
