Methanol-driven advanced reduction of nitrate and 2,4,6-tribromophenol by UV-activated photolysis
Organic radicals-based advanced reduction processes (ARPs) have gained increasing attention in recent years. This study constructs a novel ARP leveraging NO₃⁻ photolysis with methanol as an organic additive to enhance the reductive removal of NO₃⁻ and 2,4,6-tribromophenol (2,4,6-TBP) under UV irradiation. Results demonstrate that methanol significantly improves NO₃⁻ reduction (97.8 %) and 2,4,6-TBP debromination (97.1 %) at pH 10. However, excessive 2,4,6-TBP (2 mM) reduces light penetration, diminishing system efficiency. Humic acid, Cl⁻, and CO₃²⁻ minimally affect 2,4,6-TBP removal but inhibit debromination and NO₃⁻ reduction. Dissolved oxygen (DO) shows negligible impact in closed systems due to rapid depletion. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) confirms the formation of •OH and •CH₂OH radicals, which drive dual oxidation-reduction pathways. While some intermediates exhibit toxicity, the overall effluent toxicity decreases by 33 %. The findings of this study challenge conventional perspectives on methanol's role in advanced oxidation processes and suggest a potential novel approach for the reductive elimination of pollutants.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
