To address chlorophenol wastewater pollution, immobilized mixed white rot fungi (WRF) strain microsphere was designed as a solid degradation agent. This agent uses lignin peroxidase ( LiP ), manganese peroxidase ( MnP ), and laccase ( Lac ) to degrade the wastewater. Considering the diverse physical and chemical properties of the fungal microsphere, the immobilization agent formula is optimized, and comprehensive environmental factor design response surface analysis are implemented to determine the optimal delivery conditions. Consequently, the 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) treatment rate and extracellular enzyme activity for a 1:1 encapsulation of T. versicolor and P. sajor-caju significantly outperform those of individual strains. The degradation efficiency reached 85.81%, with Lac activity reaching 31.2 U/mL and LiP activity reaching 29.8 U/mL. Using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium alginate (SA), and biochar as carriers, and sodium dihydrogen phosphate solution as crosslinker, with SiO 2 /zeolite as additives, the immobilized mixed fungi yielded a high-quality solid agent. This achieved a 99.33% 2,4-DCP degradation rate over 96 hours, with optimal dosage, pH, and initial 2,4-DCP concentration at 11.5 g/L, 5.5, and 40 mg/L, respectively. The degradation of 2,4-DCP by WRF selectively removes adjacent chlorine atoms to produce 4-CP, enhancing the dechlorination efficiency.

Recently, bimetallic Fe-Pd nanoparticles were integrated with metal organic frameworks (MOFs) to produce a new composite catalyst with significant potential for organic contaminant removal due to enhanced adsorption and reduction. Here, 85.9 % of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) was successfully removed from aqueous solution within 120 min when using a zinc-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) embedded with Fe-Pd (Fe-Pd@ZIF-8). In comparison only 77.4 and 48.3 % was removed when using ZIF-8 or Fe-Pd alone. Thus, to better understand the function of composite components (ZIF-8 and Fe-Pd) in the removal of 2,4-DCP, and the specific removal mechanism involved, Fe-Pd@ZIF-8 was characterized before and after exposure to 2,4-DCP. This comparison revealed that 2,4-DCP was adsorbed onto the surface of the composite during exposure. Moreover, while ZIF-8 maintained stability following the removal of 2,4-DCP, Fe 0 was partially oxidized and Pd functioned as a catalyst in the removal process. Furthermore, kinetic studies demonstrated that the initial adsorption of 2,4-DCP conformed to a pseudo-second-order model and the subsequent reduction conformed to a pseudo-first-order model, whereas isothermal adsorption best fit the Freundlich adsorption model. This observation suggested that removal mechanism of 2,4-DCP involved both adsorption and dechlorination. Finally, Fe-Pd@ZIF-8 was applied to practically remove 2,4-DCP from wastewater, showing a 74.4 % removal efficiency which indicated that the composite was a potential new nanomaterial for practically removing organic contaminants from wastewater.

Organic pollutants and heavy metals often coexist in wastewater, their simultaneous and effective removal from wastewater has a particular significance for environmental remediation. In this study, pyrite (FeS 2 ), the most abundant iron mineral in the Earth’s crust, was selected as a catalyst to activate persulfate for the simultaneous removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and Cr(VI), two common contaminants in wastewater. The results indicated that 76.2% of 2,4-DCP and 80.1% of Cr(VI) were simultaneously removed within 120 min in the pyrite/persulfate system. The simultaneous removal efficiency of 2,4-DCP and Cr(VI) by the pyrite/persulfate system was influenced by the contaminant concentration, solution pH and organic acids. The radicals SO 4 ·− and ·OH were detected as the oxidative species in the pyrite/persulfate combined system using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, and quenching experiments with methanol and tert-butanol indicated that SO 4 ·− played a predominant role in the degradation of 2,4-DCP. The radicals (SO 4 ·− and ·OH) produced from the activation of persulfate by pyrite principally contributed to 2,4-DCP disintegration, while the removal of Cr(VI) was primarily attributed to the reduction ability of pyrite. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results indicated that Fe is the main catalytic site, and the reductive sulfides of the pyrite surface mediated Fe 2+ recovery as donors during reaction processes. This work presented a ubiquitous natural sulfide mineral with excellent catalytic performance in the heterogeneous persulfate activation, implying a new strategy in wastewater treatment for simultaneous removal of heavy metal and organic compounds.

In this study, superparamagnetic β-CD-MnFe 2 O 4 with a large surface area was synthesized via a facile co-precipitation method, with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) acting as a coating agent. The as-prepared β-CD-MnFe 2 O 4 exhibited better catalytic performance than bare MnFe 2 O 4 in terms of activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) over a broad pH range of 5–11. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) and free radical quenching experiments indicate that various active species (SO 4 − / OH/O 2 − / 1 O 2 ) are generated in the β-CD-MnFe 2 O 4 /PMS system and that pollutants trapped in the cyclodextrin cavity are quickly degraded. Various reaction parameters of the β-CD-MnFe 2 O 4 /PMS system and the stability of β-CD-MnFe 2 O 4 were also investigated. The results indicate that β-CD-MnFe 2 O 4 is promising for use in water purification owing to its excellent magnetic separation and recovery properties and good resistance to humic acid (HA).

The narrow band gap and significant separation of photogenerated carriers are essential aspects in practical photocatalytic applications. Nitrogen doping usually narrows the band gap of semiconductor oxides, and it enhances photocatalytic activity. Nitrogen-doped Nb2O5was prepared by a multiple hydrothermal method. The non-metal element N inside the nanostructure, working as the trapping sites for the holes, which were effectively incorporated into the crystal lattice of Nb2O5semiconductor oxide, remarkably shorten the band gap (3.1 eV) to enhance the visible light response, effectively reducing the photoinduced electron–hole pair recombination and prolonging carrier lifetime. The multilayer coating structure with a gradient concentration distribution and the type of nitrogen doped is favorable for the migration of photoexcited carriers in the bulk of catalysts. The unique multi-layer coating with the micro-concentration gradient of doped nitrogen provides a fast separation channel and jump steps for the separation of electron–hole pairs.Keywords:photocatalysis;niobium pentoxide;photogenerated holes;degradation;2,4-dichlorophenol

The self-supported ZnS microsphere composed of interwoven nanosheets was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The as-prepared ZnS powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic activity of the fabricated ZnS powders was
evaluated by the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) under UV light. Effects of DCP initial concentration, ZnS dosage, solution pH, light source, and dissolved oxygen on DCP photocatalytic degradation efficiency were investigated and optimized systematically. Results demonstrated that
53% of DCP could be effectively degraded under the optimal experimental conditions. Finally, highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to analyze the degradation products. Based on the experimental results obtained, a probable degradation
pathway was proposed.

The degradation process of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in aqueous solution by a Fenton-like system using calcium peroxide (CaO2) particles as a source of solid H2O2 was investigated. EDTA was added to the system to chelate iron and promote the Fenton-like reaction. The results show that 2,4-DCP can be readily degraded in a CaO2/EDTA-chelated Fe(II) system. Compared with an H2O2/EDTA-chelated Fe(II) system, 2,4-DCP degradation showed a moderate reaction rate owing to the slow dissolution process of the CaO2 particle. Complicated degradation kinetics were observed and the possible reason was revealed. The initial amount of EDTA chelated iron lost during the Fenton-like reaction was in the range 20–30%. The effects of different reaction parameters, such as initial pH, CaO2 dosage and amount of EDTA–chelated iron, on 2,4-DCP degradation were studied. According to the identification of dominant reactive species and degradation intermediates, a possible theoretical degradation pathway of 2,4-DCP was proposed.

Novel nanocomposites have been prepared by intercalating TiO2 nanoparticles into talc. The nanocomposites have been verified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) from the appearance of a characteristic diffraction peak of TiO2. Thermal behavior of the prepared samples is examined by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), which have shown no TiO2 particles on the surface of the talc. The TiO2 particles are found in the layers of talc by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, which have shown the increase of specific surface areas and total pore volumes and the decline of average pore diameters. As the strong adsorption ability of talc can intensify the power of photon absorption and capture-recombination carriers, more than 99.5% of 2,4-dichlorophenol can be degraded in 1 h by the nanocomposite under an ultraviolet lamp in neutral solution and room temperature after reaching adsorption equilibrium, and the result of adsorbance is in accord with the first-order kinetic. The degradation rate was maintained at about 99% after 20 times. Therefore, the prepared talc/TiO2 nanocomposite is an efficient, stable, and recyclable material for wastewater treatment.

BiOBr can degrade pollutants under visible light, and it is a new star in the field of photocatalysis. However, its practical application still faces great challenges, and it still needs to be designed and modified to obtain high catalytic performance for efficient degradation of organic pollutants. Herein, we have realized the simple preparation and efficient catalysis of a BiOBr composite catalyst. This catalyst combines the dual effects of stable adsorption and efficient degradation. This spherical catalyst is composed of surfactant PVP and BiOBr and has higher photocatalytic efficiency. It is found that PVP on the surface of BiOBr firmly adsorbs 2,4-dichlorophenol on the surface of the catalyst, and the petal like microsphere structure makes full use of light energy to achieve high-efficiency photocatalysis. The catalytic effect of the composite catalyst is 1.53 times higher than that of the pure BiOBr catalyst. This study will help us better understand the comprehensive effects of adsorption and degradation of surfactants and catalytic materials, and develop new and reliable green photocatalysts.

This study showcases the performance of Fe 3 O 4 (S600) derived from the decomposition of siderite in activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degradation, as well as the enhancement of visible light in the S600/PMS system. With the involvement of visible light, 2 g/L Fe 3 O 4 and 0.5 mM PMS achieved 100 % degradation of 2,4-DCP within 70 min. Singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) and hydroxyl radicals ( OH) were the primary reactive species responsible for 2,4-DCP degradation under visible light irradiation based on the scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis. Importantly, compared to the absence of visible light, the visible light boosted 1 O 2 production and accelerated 2,4-DCP degradation. The effects of various operating parameters on the degradation efficiency were also examined, and the intermediates and possible degradation pathways of 2,4-DCP were identified. This study proves that the integrated utilization of natural siderite derivatives to activate oxidants for pollutant degradation is a promising approach.

It is essential and important to remove chlorophenols from solution. The natural phoenix tree leaf (NTL) was modified by a cationic surfactant, hexadecylpyridinium chloride monohydrate (CPC), and applied as an adsorbent (modified phoenix trees’ leaf (MTL)) to enhance the capability to remove 2,4-dichlorophenol in aqueous solutions. Analysis of elemental composition, SEM and FTIR indicated that CPC was adsorbed on the surface of NTL. 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) was selected as adsorbate and the adsorption experiments were carried out in batch mode. Effects of physical–chemical parameters such as solution pH, coexisted salt, and contact temperature were investigated. The optimum pH was 6.3 and the effect of salt concentration is not significant. The adsorption quantity was up to 188.8 mg g−1 at experimental condition. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted adequately to Freundlich and Henry isotherms, and the corresponding constants were calculated for these models. In addition, the adsorption kinetic data were analyzed using the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic equations. The results showed that the pseudo-second-order model was better to fit the experimental data, which indicated that the adsorption of 2,4-DCP was controlled predominantly by a chemical adsorption process. Thermodynamic study suggested that the adsorption of 2,4-DCP on CPC–MTL was an endothermic process. Furthermore, the adsorbed 2,4-DCP was desorbed effectively up to 83% and the exhausted adsorbent could be regenerated and reused, making the adsorption process more feasible and economical. The results indicated that MTL can be used as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of 2,4-DCP from aqueous solutions.

The background value of iron in red soil is superior, primarily absorbed and homogeneously encapsulated in harvested biomass. However, this property on the high-value utilization of bionic iron-encapsulated biomass remains unknown. In this study, special biochar (Fe@BC) was obtained from this kind of biomass by one-step pyrolysis method, which was further used to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) and degrade 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP). The results showed that Fe3O4 was formed and homogeneously embedded in biochar at 500oC. Comparing to catalysts prepared by impregnation pyrolysis (Fe/BC), Fe@BC exhibited excellent degradation performance (90.9%, k = 0.0037 min−1) for 2,4-DCP. According to the free radicals quenching studies, hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide radicals (·O2−) were the dominant reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Fe@BC/PDS system. Importantly, a PDS adsorption model was established, and the electron transport and PDS activation in the core-shell structure were demonstrated by DFT calculations. Therefore, this study could supply a high-performance catalyst and significant implications for high-value biomass utilization in red soil.
