This study proposed the fluidization-like dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma for the remediation of lindane contaminated soil and integrated physical and chemical reaction pathway. Soil particle distribution within the reactor was simulated with Euler-Euler and Gidaspow drag models, and a bipolar pulsed power supply was applied to energize the DBD reactor after full fluidized. The effect of soil particles movement on electric features was discussed in terms of voltage waveforms and Lissajous figures. Lindane degradation was found to be related to electrics parameters and soil properties. Soil samples before and after treatment were analyzed by XRD and SEM methods. A 95.98% lindane decomposition and 0.66 mg Lindane /h average reaction rate were obtained with 3 wt% CaO injection by pulse power drove fluidization-like DBD after 32 min treatment. Ozone was proved to play a major role during lindane degrading by plasma. The reaction potential pathway of lindane decomposition contains 4 steps, including dehydrogen, dehydrochlorination, and dechlorination , respectively.

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in sediment were a potential damage for humans and ecosystems. The aim of this work was to determine the effectiveness of carbon materials remedy hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) in sediment. Two different carbon materials including activated carbon (AC) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used in the present research. Sediment treated with 2 wt% AC and MWCNTs after 150 d contact showed 97%, and 75% reduction for HCH, and 93% and 59% decrease for DDTs in aqueous equilibrium concentration, respectively. Similarly, the reduction efficiencies of DDT and HCH uptake by semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) treated with AC (MWCNTs) were 97% (75%) and 92% (63%), respectively under the identical conditions. Furthermore, for 2 wt% AC (MWCNTs) system, a reduction of XAD beads uptake up to 87% (52%) and 73% (67%) was obtained in HCH and DDT flux to overlying water in quiescent system. Adding MWCNTs to contaminated sediment did not significantly decrease aqueous equilibrium concentration and DDTs and HCH availability in SPMDs compared to AC treatment. A series of results indicated that AC had significantly higher remediation efficiency towards HCH and DDTs in sediment than MWCNTs. Additionally, the removal efficiencies of two organic pollutants improved with increasing material doses and contact times. The greater effectiveness of AC was attributed to its greater specific surface area, which was favorable for binding contaminants. These results highlighted the potential for using AC as in-situ sorbent amendments for sediment remediation.

In this study, the planetary ball milling with CaO addition was used to remediate lindane-contaminated soil. Based on Hertzian theory, a mathematical model was proposed to simulate the trajectory of grinding ball and the local energy transfer during a planetary operation at the disk rotation velocities of 150–250 rpm. Besides, the influence of different parameters on lindane removal in soil was investigated, whose results showed that disk rotation velocity and reagent-to-soil ratio had a positive effect, while soil moisture, initial concentration of lindane , and mass of polluted soil demonstrated a negative influence. The mechanochemical method exhibited a higher degradation performance at 3 wt% CaO addition, and a disk rotation velocity of 250 rpm. Active species generated by ball collisions in the presence of CaO, especially superoxide (·O 2 − ) demonstrated a significant role in participating in the lindane conversion. In combination with GCMS and XPS analysis , the proposed model provides insight into mechanochemical remediation process from physical and chemical perspectives, which mainly includes four main steps: mixing, inducing, chemical reaction, and structure destruction.

This paper reports a nonreductive dechlorination pathway (dehydrochlorination) of lindane in the presence of N -MWCNTs (CNT-N1 and CNT N2) under environmentally relevant conditions. The enhanced catalytic dehydrochlorination at mild pH values (7.0–9.0) was mainly attributed to the Lewis base nature of nitrogen functional groups on the surface of N -MWCNTs, based on FT-IR spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and CO 2 -TPD profile. Amine and pyridinic nitrogen species were inferred as the main basic sites that were responsible for the dehydrochlorination of lindane. The concentration of lindane was unchanged in homogenous alkaline aqueous solutions at pH 7.0 and 8.0 within 6 d, and up to 89.5% of lindane remained at pH 9.0. In sharp contrast, the reaction rate constant ( k obs ) increased from 0.024 to 0.876 d − 1 with the increasing pH from 7.0 to 9.0 when CNT-N2 catalyst was used. All lindane was transformed in the presence of CNT-N2 at pH 9.0, leading to a much greater k obs as compared to that obtained in homogenous solution (0.876 vs 0.019 d − 1 ). Even at neutral pH condition, the k obs obtained in the presence of CNT-N2 was higher than that observed in weakly alkaline solution (0.024 d − 1 at pH 7.0 vs 0.019 d − 1 at pH 9.0). γ-1,3,4,5,6-pentachlorocyclohexene and trichlorobenzene isomers were detected as the intermediate and final products, respectively. It might be inferred that amine and pyridinic nitrogen species could attack the hydrogen atom attached to the β‑carbon, and the dehydrochlorination of lindane followed a β-elimination mechanism. This study provides an alternative dechlorination way for making lindane less toxic and better biodegradable under mild conditions, which is beneficial for complete mineralization of lindane when coupled with microbial degradation.

Active capture and ultrasensitive SERS-based detection of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) has been a challenging task. A novel strategy based on 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) surface modification on Au nanosheets-built hollow sub-microcubes (ANHCs) was proposed to capture HCH pesticides effectively via Suzuki cross coupling reaction. The ANHCs structure composed of numerous intertwined nanosheets was firstly prepared by Au nanocrystals heteroepitaxial growth on AgCl cubes. Then, the 4-MPBA molecules were selected to modify on the surface of ANHCs for SERS-based detection of HCH. The SERS results proved that active capture and ultrasensitive detection of HCH could be implemented, and the limit of detection is 0.3 ppb. Besides, 4-MPBA modified substrate show high reproducibility and sensitivity than unmodified one. Moreover, the characteristic peak intensity ratio I HCH /I 4-MPBA presents a good linear relationship with the logarithm of a certain concentrations, and achieve SERS-based quantitative detection of HCH. In addition, this strategy has been successfully used for the detection and differentiation of mixed HCH isomers in water samples. The surface modification strategy on high performance SERS substrate provides a good route for the highly ultrasensitive detection and active capture of HCH, and paves a way for the detection of organochlorine pesticide residues in water samples.

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) can persistently accumulate in body and threaten human health. Bile acids and intestinal microbial metabolism have emerged as important signaling molecules in the host. However, knowledge on which intestinal microbiota and bile acids are modified by OCPs remains unclear. In this study, adult male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to p, p’-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p, p’-DDE) and β-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH) for 8 weeks. The relative abundance and composition of various bacterial species were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Bile acid composition was analyzed by metabolomic analysis using UPLC-MS. The expression of genes involved in hepatic and enteric bile acids metabolism was measured by real-time PCR. Expression of genes in bile acids synthesis and transportation were measured in HepG2 cells incubated with p, p’-DDE and β-HCH. Our findings showed OCPs changed relative abundance and composition of intestinal microbiota, especially in enhanced Lactobacillus with bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity. OCPs affected bile acid composition, enhanced hydrophobicity , decreased expression of genes on bile acid reabsorption in the terminal ileum and compensatory increased expression of genes on synthesis of bile acids in the liver. We demonstrated that chronic exposure of OCPs could impair intestinal microbiota; as a result, hepatic and enteric bile acid profiles and metabolism were influenced. The findings in this study draw our attention to the hazards of chronic OCPs exposure in modulating bile acid metabolism that might cause metabolic disorders and their potential to cause related diseases in human.
