Occurrence, fate and chiral signatures of p-phenylenediamines and their quinones in wastewater treatment plants, China
p-Phenylenediamines (PPDs) and their derived quinones (PPD-Qs) are emerging pollutants. Information on their occurrence, fate and chiral signatures in the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and its receiving waters is scarce. This study explored the distribution, removal efficiency, mass balance, environmental emission and enantiomeric fractions of these pollutants in two WWTPs in Guangzhou, China. It also examined the impacts of WWTP effluents on the distribution of these contaminants in the receiving rivers. The concentrations of Σ(PPDs+PPD-Qs) ranged from 3.95 to 20.4 ng/L in influent, 0.69–3.94 ng/L in effluent, and 2.14–19.8 ng/g dry weight in sludge, respectively. PPDs (81.6 %) and PPD-Qs (78.6 %) were effectively removed in the WWTPs primarily through biotransformation, but sludge adsorption and separation also contributed to the removal. One of the WWTPs could increase the levels of these pollutants in the downstream of receiving river, suggesting that WWTP effluents are significant vectors of PPDs and PPD-Qs to the aquatic environment. The results also highlight different nonracemic chiral signatures of 6PPD and 6PPD-Q between the two WWTPs and the receiving waters, which merit further investigation for mechanism. Future studies should elucidate the environmental risks that PPDs and PPD-Qs may pose to receiving rivers and accurately assess such effects at the enantiomeric level.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
