Real-time monitoring of chlorine gas (Cl 2 ) with a strong irritating odor is an indispensable means of avoiding its contamination of the air and harm to the body. To achieve this purpose, a novel gas-sensitive material capable of detecting low concentrations of Cl 2 at near room temperature is developed in this paper. ZIF-8 with a kinetic diameter of 3.4 Å in the designed ZnO@ZIF-8 composites is able to sieve gas molecules with different kinetic diameters, enabling effective improvement of the selectivity of the gas-sensitive materials. In addition, the porous structure of ZIF-8 can provide more reactive sites, which is conducive to improving gas adsorption capacity and providing of channels for gas diffusion. In this study, ZnO@ZIF-8 heterojunction composites are prepared by combining the advantages of ZnO and ZIF-8, which provides a new method for real-time monitoring of low concentrations of Cl 2 , and also has potential practical applications in fields such as environmental monitoring and industrial safety.

Antihistamines (ANTs) are medicines to treat allergic diseases. They have been frequently detected in the natural water environment, posing potential threats to the ecological environment and human health. In this study, the degradation of three common antihistamines, loratadine, fexofenadine, and cetirizine, was estimated under different oxidation methods (NaClO, UV, and UV-NaClO). The results showed that UV-NaClO had the highest degree of degradation on the drugs under most conditions: 100% degradation for fexofenadine within 20 s at pH 7 and 10. Under UV irradiation, the degradation efficiencies of the three drugs during 150 s were all above 77% at a pH of 7. The drugs’ removal by NaClO was much lower than that of the previous two methods. In addition, this study explored the contribution rates of active oxygen species in the photolysis process. Among them, the contribution of 1 O 2 to the fexofenadine and cetirizine removal rate reached 70%. Different aqueous matrices (HCO 3 − , NO 3 − , and humic acid) had varying degrees of influence on the degradation. Acute toxicity tests and ultraviolet scans of the degradation products showed that the drugs were not completely mineralized, and the toxicities of the intermediates were even higher than those of the parent drugs. There were 9, 8, and 10 chloride oxidation products of loratadine, fexofenadine, and cetirizine, respectively, and 8 photolysis products of cetirizine were identified. For cetirizine, it was found that there were three identical intermediates produced by photodegradation and NaClO oxidation. Graphical abstract

The development of high performance reverse osmosis (RO) membranes still remains a big challenge due to not only the trade-off between water flux and salt rejection, but also their easy fouling and chlorine attacking. In this paper, a novel thin-film nanocomposite RO membrane with two-dimensional MXene Ti 3 C 2 T x embedded in the polyamide (PA) layer was fabricated by in-situ interfacial polymerization with m-phenylenediamine aqueous solution and trimesoyl chloride. Due to the outstanding diffusion regulating effect of Ti 3 C 2 T x in accordance with the Fick's first law, the water permeability was elevated to a maximum value of 2.53 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 at a high NaCl salt rejection of 98.5%. Simultaneously, the enhanced anti-fouling, and chlorine resistance of the as-obtained PA-Ti 3 C 2 T x membrane were also obtained, outperforming the pristine PA and other related RO membranes in literature. Especially after a chlorine-resistance test at 10000 ppm h, a high salt rejection of 97.1% for the PA-Ti 3 C 2 T x membrane was still retained. Based on the microstructural observation and mechanism analysis, such an improvement in chlorine resistance was mainly ascribed to the interaction between surface functional groups of Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets with active chlorine, which effectively protected the PA matrix from being chlorine attacked. This work illustrates successfully a very new use of Ti 3 C 2 T x to improve the comprehensive performance for water desalination membranes for practical applications.

Facile preparation of loose nanofiltration membranes (LNMs) with good chlorine resistance is highly demanded for water purification . Here, we reported the preparation of LNMs via the interfacial quaternization of hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) with 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride (TMC). Both the macrocyclic structure of HMTA and the relatively low reactivity of tertiary amines are beneficial for the formation of loose structures with high permeance. The resulting HMTA/TMC LNMs showed high water permeance (71.0 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 ) combined with good Evans Blue (EB)/NaCl selectivity (EB rejection: 98%, NaCl rejection: 12.7%). Notably, the LNMs features quaternary amide structure that contains no active hydrogen, thus the high separation performance was maintained during 20-days immersion of the membrane in 200 ppm NaClO solution. Furthermore, chlorine resistance of the membrane was retained at varied pH conditions, and separation performance of the fouled membranes could be restored by NaClO cleaning. Considering these beneficial properties, the membrane holds great promise in dye/salt separation.

Chlorine (Cl 2 ) is a highly hazardous and corrosive substance that can cause severe respiratory problems and skin burns in humans at low doses. The effective detection of Cl 2 has become critical for protecting both the ecological environment and public health. Herein, the oxygen vacancy-abundant SnO 2 were synthesized using SnS as template followed by the calcination method. The resultant SnO 2 -800 sensor exhibits improved sensing response to Cl 2 (about 205–10 ppm) at room temperature, together with a trace detection limit of 100 ppb. Such excellent sensing properties could be assigned to several reasons including the unique cross-linked structure, the appropriate amount of grain boundaries, and especially sufficient oxygen vacancies. The XPS, GC-MS techniques and DFT theoretical calculation were combined used to detailly investigate the sensing mechanism. This work might shed light on the rational design of high-performance sensing materials via defect engineering.

Seawater electrolysis is an attractive way to generate hydrogen energy . However, to commercialize this technology, it has been focused on developing chlorine-less oxygen generating electrodes for decades. Here, different from common ideas of minimizing chlorine formation at the anode, we aimed at reusing the waste chlorine from seawater electrolysis to mitigate nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. NOx removal performance of electrolyzed seawater containing chlorine was investigated under 254 nm ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in a semi-continuous bubbling reactor. Comparative parametric experiments were conducted for each factor with and without UV irradiation. Significant contributions of UV irradiation on denitrification performance of chlorine were observed under all investigated conditions. A ten-folder improvement in denitrification efficiency by the UV irradiated electrolyzed seawater was achieved under optimal conditions. Possible free radicals’ reaction mechanisms were discussed preliminarily. Results reveal that UV irradiated electrolyzed seawater is a promising way to reuse electrolyzed chlorine and mitigate acid gas emissions.

Microcystis aeruginosa ( M. aeruginosa ) commonly blooms in summer while Cyclotella meneghiniana ( C. meneghiniana ) outbreaks in fall in water reservoirs of Southeast China. Pre-oxidation has been demonstrated to enhance the algae removal from chemical coagulation processes. However, excessive dosage of pre-oxidant can increase the disinfection by-products formation potential (DBPsFP). Additionally, the DBPs formation mechanisms from algae during the pre-oxidation-coagulation-chlorination processes have not well elucidated. In this study, the objectives were to investigate the trichloromethane (TCM) formation, the changes of water quality indexes, and the morphology changes of algal cells from M. aeruginosa or C. meneghiniana contaminated water during potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ) or chlorine (Cl 2 ) pre-oxidation-coagulation-chlorination disinfection. The results showed that the TCM yield for two algal species decreased with the dosage increase of KMnO 4 pre-oxidation, but increased with the dosage increase of pre-chlorination. Therefore, the 2.0 mg/L KMnO 4 or 0.5 mg/L Cl 2 was proposed as the optimal dosage for preventing both M. aeruginosa blooms in summer and for C. meneghiniana outbreaks in fall. M. aeruginosa exhibited a slightly higher TCM yield than C. meneghiniana in these treatment processes. Based on the release of potassium (K) ion and SEM analysis, KMnO 4 had less damage on cell integrity than Cl 2 at the dosage ≤2.0 mg/L. In addition, C. meneghiniana was easier to be disrupted by both pre-oxidants than M. aeruginosa , combining with subsequent coagulation led to different value of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UV–visible absorbance (UV 254 ) and turbidity .

In this study, fresh mangos were packed using a custom-made antimicrobial film coated with sustained-release chlorine dioxide microcapsules. We then compared physical and chemical indexes, such as weight loss rate, firmness, chromatic aberrations, soluble solids, vitamin C, titratable acid, and other nutritional indicators, to examine changes in the mango and film during storage. Our findings revealed that control mango showed loss of edible value and commercial value after 21 days of storage, and the chlorine dioxide microcapsule antibacterial film group still retains food value and commercial value. Cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy images of the used film showed that the polylactic acid film was smooth and flat, whereas cross-sections of the antimicrobial film showed that the film was covered with voids due to deliberate release of chlorine dioxide gas during the packaging process. Thus, the antibacterial film exhibited erosion and degradation. These findings provided important insights into the use of antimicrobial films for the packaging of fruits during storage, which is essential for promoting the application of solid chlorine dioxide antimicrobial film in packaging preservation.

In this paper, the effect of D 0 temperature, Kappa factor and the final pH value on bleaching sulfate bleached pine wood pulp was studied. The results showed that the bleaching efficiency was better when the pH value was 4, and the amount of absorbable organic halogen (AOX) in the bleaching wastewater was decreased. The Kappa factor is linear with the whiteness in the range of 0–0.15. With the increase of the Kappa factor, the amount of AOX in bleaching wastewater of D 0 and Ep gradually increases. High temperature bleaching can reduce AOX production, but some fibers are hydrolyzed, leading to a decrease in pulp viscosity. The effects of chlorine dioxide solution adding sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH 2 PO 4 ) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) on pulp bleaching were investigated. The results showed that both solutions could reduce the amount of AOX in bleaching wastewater. Among them, the addition of NaH 2 PO 4 in chlorine dioxide increased pulp whiteness, while the addition of DMSO was the opposite. Scanning electron microscope showed that a small amount of hollow cracks and more voids appeared on the surface of pulp fibers after the addition of NaH 2 PO 4 . Pulp fibers bleached by the chlorine dioxide adding DMSO have more folds and less voids on the surface. The surface wrinkles of pulp fibers increased with the addition of DMSO and the voids were less. FT-IR showed that the number of chromophore groups in the pulp bleached by chlorine dioxide adding NaH 2 PO 4 were decreased. However, the lignin characteristic absorption peak in the pulp bleached by chlorine dioxide adding DMSO increased at the intensity of 1062 and 1160 cm −1 , which indicated that there were more residual chromophore groups.

Recycling strongly acidic wastewater as diluted H 2 SO 4 after contaminants contained being removed was previously proposed, however, Cl(-I), a kind of contaminant contained in strongly acidic wastewater, is difficult to remove, which severely degrades the quality of recycled H 2 SO 4 . In this study, the removal of Cl(-I) using PbO 2 was investigated and the involved mechanisms were explored. The removal efficiency of Cl(-I) reached 93.38% at 50℃ when PbO 2 /Cl(-I) mole ratio reached 2:1. The identification of reaction products shows that Cl(-I) was oxidized to Cl 2 , and PbO 2 was reduced to PbSO 4 . Cl 2 was absorbed by NaOH to form NaClO, which was used for the regeneration of PbO 2 from the generated PbSO 4 . Cl(-I) was removed through two pathways, i.e., surface oxidation and •OH radical oxidation. •OH generated by the reaction of PbO 2 and OH − plays an important role in Cl(-I) removal. The regenerated PbO 2 had excellent performance to remove Cl(-I) after six-time regeneration. This study provided an in-depth understanding on the effective removal of Cl(-I) by the oxidation method.

A mixed oxidant of chlorine dioxide (ClO 2 ) and NaClO was often used in water treatment. A novel UVA-LED (365 nm)-activated mixed ClO 2 /NaClO process was proposed for the degradation of micropollutants in this study. Carbamazepine (CBZ) was selected as the target pollutant. Compared with the UVA 365 /ClO 2 process, the UVA 365 /ClO 2 /NaClO process can improve the degradation of CBZ, with the rate constant increasing from 2.11×10 −4 sec −1 to 2.74×10 −4 sec −1 . In addition, the consumption of oxidants in the UVA 365 /ClO 2 /NaClO process (73.67%) can also be lower than that of UVA 365 /NaClO (86.42%). When the NaClO ratio increased, both the degradation efficiency of CBZ and the consumption of oxidants can increase in the UVA 365 /ClO 2 /NaClO process. The solution pH can affect the contribution of NaClO in the total oxidant ratio. When the pH range of 6.0-8.0, the combination process can generate more active species to promote the degradation of CBZ. The change of active species with oxidant molar ratio was investigated in the UVA 365 /ClO 2 /NaClO process. When ClO 2 acted as the main oxidant, HO• and Cl• were the main active species, while when NaClO was the main oxidant, ClO• played a role in the system. Both chloride ion (Cl – ), bicarbonate ion (HCO 3 – ), and nitrate ion (NO 3 – ) can promote the reaction system. As the concentration of NaClO in the reaction solution increased, the generation of chlorates will decrease. The UVA 365 /ClO 2 /NaClO process can effectively control the formation of volatile disinfection by-products (DBPs), and with the increase of ClO 2 dosage, the formation of DBPs can also decrease.

The incorporation of polyhedral oligomeric sesquisiloxane (POSS), a distinctive nanoparticle, into the membrane separation layer represents an effective strategy for enhancing the chlorine resistance of membranes. This modification contributes to both the durability of the membrane and its separation efficiency. However, POSS is easy to agglomerate, which affects the separation performance of the membrane. In this paper, POSS-centered polyhydroxy polymer (OMEPOSS-P(GMA-NMDG)) was synthesized via photo-induced atom transfer radical polymerization and used as water-soluble monomer to prepare polyester separation layer on porous substrates through interfacial polymerization with trimelanoyl chloride. The obtained POSS-centered polyester membrane exhibits a high dye removal rate exceeding 99 %, and it can realize the screening of dye molecules with different molecular weight and different charge. Notably, the membrane demonstrates excellent chlorine resistance, maintaining effective separation efficiency after exposure to sodium hypochlorite solutions at concentrations of 10 000 ppm for 96 h and 1000 ppm for 7 days. It is worth noting that the membrane showed high anti-fouling performance. This method provides a useful guideline for the development of chlorine-resistant and anti-fouling separation membranes.
