Environmental contextEfficiently removing persistent organic pollutants, such as Bisphenol A, from wastewaters is essential for maintaining environmental quality. The present work applies advanced oxidation processes and the enhanced photocatalytic activity of cyclodextrin-immobilised magnetic nanoparticles for the removal of Bisphenol A under mild conditions. The study highlights the need to consider eco-friendly, safe and cost-effective approaches for the removal of persistent hazardous pollutants from wastewaters. AbstractThe efficiency, relatively low cost and eco-friendly nature of hydrogen peroxide-assisted photocatalysis treatment procedures are significant advantages over conventional techniques for wastewater remediation. Herein, we evaluate the behaviour of γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) immobilised on either bare or chitosan (CS)–functionalised Fe3O4 nanoparticles, for photodegrading Bisphenol A (BPA) in ultrapure water and in real wastewater samples. The BPA removal efficiencies with Fe3O4/γ-CD and Fe3O4/CS/γ-CD were compared with those of Fe3O4/β-CD, and were monitored under UVA irradiation at near-neutral pH. The addition of H2O2 at low concentrations (15mmolL−1) significantly increased BPA photodegradation in the presence of each nanocomposite. The highest catalytic activity was shown by both Fe3O4/γ-CD and Fe3O4/CS/γ-CD nanocomposites (~60 and 27% BPA removal in ultrapure water and real wastewater effluent, respectively). Our findings reveal the superior performance of γ-CD-functionalised Fe3O4 relative to that of Fe3O4/β-CD. The use of CD-based nanocomposites as photocatalytic materials could be an attractive option in the pre- or post-treatment stage of wastewaters by advanced oxidation processes before or after biological treatment.

Abstract Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been defined as near-ambient temperature processes that involve the generation of highly reactive radical intermediates, especially the hydroxyl radical. These processes show promise for the destruction of hazardous organic substances in municipal and industrial wastes, in drinking water and in ultrapure water. Three types of AOPs are considered in this paper: catalyzed decomposition of ozone; ozone with hydrogen peroxide (Peroxone); and photolysis of hydrogen peroxide with ultraviolet radiation. Kinetic models for these processes are being developed based on known chemical and photochemical principles. The models take into account measured effects of radical scavengers such as bicarbonate; dose ratios of the oxidants or UV intensity; pH; and the presence of generic radical scavengers. The models are used to discuss two cases: oxidation of parts-per-million levels of nitrobenzene with ozone, Peroxone and peroxide/UV and oxidation of naphthalene and pentachlorophenol with peroxide/UV.

Today, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is considered as a key and effective method for environment preservation from pollutions. In this study , advanced photochemical oxidation processes using O3/H2O2 and O3/H2O2/UV systems were investigated batch photolytic reactor in lab-scale for the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). In ozone generator source, air, as of the initial instrument feed, changes to ozone after electrical action and reaction. The UV irradiation source was a medium-pressure mercury lamp 300 W that was immerse in the wastewater solution with in 1.5 liter volume reactor. The reaction was influenced by the pH, the input concentration of H2O2, the input concentration of BPA, ozone dosage, chemical oxidation demand (COD) and UV irradiation time. Results showed that at initial bisphenol A concentration of 100 mg/l will completely degrade after 60 minutes by using O3/H2O2 in the pH range from 9.8 to 10 and by adding UV, it will happen in less than 36 minutes in the pH range of 3 to 10. The O3/H2O2/UV process reduced COD to 75 percents.

Industrialization and modernization in recent times have led to a water crisis across the world. Conventional methods of water treatment like physical, chemical and biological methods which comprise of many commonly used techniques like membrane separation, adsorption, chemical treatment etc. have been in use for many decades. However, problems like sludge disposal, high operating costs etc. have led to increased focus on Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) as alternative treatment methods. AOPs basically involve reactions relying on the high oxidation potential of the hydroxyl (OH•) free radical. They have the potential to efficiently treat various toxic, organic pollutants and complete degradation of contaminants (mineralization) of emerging concern. Many different types of homogenous as well as heterogenous AOPs have been studied viz: UV/H2O2, Fenton, Photo-Fenton, Sonolysis, Photocatalysis etc. for treatment of a wide variety of organic pollutants. Different AOPs are suitable for different types of wastewater and hence proper selection of the right technique for a particular type of pollutant is required. The inherent advantages offered by AOPs like elimination of sludge disposal problems, operability under mild conditions, ability to harness sunlight, non selective nature (ability to degrade all organic and microbial contamination) etc. have made it one of the most actively researched areas in recent times for wastewater treatment. Despite the benefits and intense research, commercial applicability of AOPs as a practical technique for treating wastewater on a large scale is still far from satisfactory. Nevertheless, positive results in lab scale and pilot plant studies make them a promising water treatment technique for the future. In the present chapter, an attempt has been made to discuss all aspects of AOPs beginning with the fundamental concepts, classification, underlying mechanism, comparison, commercialization to the latest developments in AOPs.

The application of Fenton-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as photo-Fenton or electro-Fenton for wastewater treatment have been extensively studied in recent decades due to its high efficiency for the decomposition of persistent organic pollutants. Usually Fenton-based AOPs are used for the degradation of targeted pollutant or group of pollutants, which often leads to the formation of toxic by-products possessing a potential environmental risk. In this work, we have collected and reviewed recent findings regarding the feasibility of Fenton-based AOPs (photo-Fenton, UVC/H2O2, electro-Fenton and galvanic Fenton) for the detoxification of real municipal and industrial wastewaters. More specifically, operational conditions, relevance and suitability of different bioassays for the toxicity assessment of various wastewater types, cost estimation, all of which compose current challenges for the application of these AOPs for real wastewater detoxification are discussed.
