Epichlorohydrin-modified chitosan-Schiff base composite (CS/24Cl/ECH) prepared via the one-pot reaction as characterized by Fourier transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). Its removal ability of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The adsorption of Pb(II) ions carried out at different initial pH, dose of CS/24-Cl/ECH, contact time and co-existing ions. The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) ions was 170 mg/g. Finally, based on the absorption results, the adsorption of Pb(II) ions was fitted by single-layer Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetics model. The absorption mechanism of Pb(II) ions was controlled by chemical coordination Pb(II) ions with the active sites on the surface of CS/24Cl/ECH composite. Also, CS/24Cl/ECH showed excellent recyclable efficiency up to 5 cycle and potential sorbent for other heavy metal ions.

Haloacetic acids (HAAs) are ubiquitously detected in drinking water and even persistent after boiling due to their stability and nonvolatility, which leads to risk exposure to human. To minimize the risk, HAAs removal through electrocatalytic reduction easily utilized in point-of-use household devices is proposed. Trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) as a typical target, was investigated using laboratory-prepared metal electrode modified with Vitamin B12 (VB12) by the drop coating method. The dechlorination performance and effects of influencing factors on the TCAA dechlorination by VB12/metal composite cathode were studied. Under the conditions of 10.0 mg VB12 loading and 7.0 mA/cm 2 current density, 92.9% TCAA removal efficiency was achieved within 5 h at 25 °C in neutral water solution. The degradation processes followed the first-order kinetic model. The results show that VB12/iron (Fe) electrode presented the superior electrocatalytic activity than VB12/aluminium and VB12/copper. The dechlorination efficiency of TCAA was promoted by higher VB12 loadings and current density; inhibited by alkaline condition and higher initial concentration of TCAA. The synergistic effect between atomic H* and VB12 occurred during the TCAA dechlorination process through the electron transfer . The proposed pathway elucidated that TCAA was dechlorinated to form dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and monochloroacetic acid (MCAA), with acetic acid and chloride as ultimate products. This electrocatalysis system with VB12/Fe composite electrode exhibits high reaction efficiency, targeted dehalogenation, and environmental friendliness. This work is expected to provides a new way for the removal of halogenated DBPs at the tap and the safeguard drinking water for consumers.

Dichlorprop [(RS)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propanoic acid; DCPP], an important phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicide (PAAH), is extensively used in the form of racemic mixtures (Rac-DCPP), and the environmental fates of both DCPP enantiomers [(R)-DCPP and (S)-DCPP] mediated by microorganisms are of great concern. In this study, a bacterial strain Sphingopyxis sp. DBS4 was isolated from contaminated soil and was capable of utilizing both (R)-DCPP and (S)-DCPP as the sole carbon source for growth. Strain DBS4 preferentially catabolized (S)-DCPP as compared to (R)-DCPP. The optimal conditions for Rac-DCPP degradation by strain DBS4 were 30 °C and pH 7.0. In addition to Rac-DCPP, other PAAHs such as (RS)-2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid butyl ester could also be catabolized by strain DBS4. Bioremediation of Rac-DCPP-contaminated soil by inoculation of strain DBS4 exhibited an effective removal of both (R)-DCPP and (S)-DCPP from the soil. Due to its broad substrate spectrum, strain DBS4 showed great potential in the bioremediation of PAAH-contaminated sites.

Chlorination is widely used for disinfection of water and wastewater. Ammonia/chlorine co-exposure can be easily achieved when ammonia is present in water. In this study, ammonia and chlorine showed synergistic effect on atrazine (ATZ) degradation. A degradation efficiency of 50.2% was obtained in 10 min with a Cl/N molar ratio of 1.6. By contrast, free chlorine and chloramines barely degraded ATZ. The synergistic effect involved formation of hydroxyl radicals ( OH) and reactive chlorine species. The radical concentrations followed the order of ClO (4.8 × 10 −13 M) > OH (4.1 × 10 −13 M) > Cl (3.0 × 10 −15 M). The dominant radical was OH (>80% contribution), followed by ClO (less than18% contribution), which had relatively lower reactivity with ATZ. The synergism was pH dependent, with OH largely suppressed by 98% when the pH was acidic or basic rather than neutral, resulting in a decrease in ATZ degradation. The transformation products detected indicated that ATZ degradation involved dealkylation and dechlorination–hydroxylation, and lower yields of oxidation byproducts were obtained by ammonia/chlorine synergistic oxidation process compared to direct chlorination.

This study systematically revealed the feasibility of the sequential ClO 2 -UV/chlorine process for micropollutant removal and disinfection byproduct (DBP) control. The results demonstrated that the sequential ClO 2 -UV/chlorine process was effective for the removal of 12 micropollutants. ClO 2 pre-treatment reduced the formation of disinfect byproducts (DBPs) in the UV/chlorine process. Compared to the UV/chlorine process, ClO 2 pre-treatment (1.0 mg L −1 ) decreased the formation of the 6 DBPs by 25.1–72.2%; and decreased the formation potential of the 6 DBPs by 13.9–51.8%. Moreover, ClO 2 pre-treatment reduced the concentration of total organic chlorine by 19.8%. ClO 2 pre-treatment affected the UV/chlorine process in different ways. Firstly, ClO 2 pre-treatment generated chlorite, which dominantly served as a scavenger of chlorine radical (Cl ) and hydroxyl radical (HO ). Secondly, ClO 2 pre-treatment decreased the reactivity of natural organic matter (NOM) towards radicals. Finally, ClO 2 pre-treatment altered the properties of NOM, in terms of reducing the electron-donating capacity and aromaticity of NOM (SUVA 254 ), and slightly reducing the average molecular weight of NOM. Overall, ClO 2 pre-treatment effectively controlled the formation of DBPs in the UV/chlorine process. This study confirmed the sequential ClO 2 -UV/chlorine process was an alternative strategy to balancing the micropollutant removal and DBP control.

The zinc-copper redox couple exhibits several merits, which motivated us to reconstruct the rechargeable Daniell cell by combining chloride shuttle chemistry in a zinc chloride-based aqueous/organic biphasic electrolyte. An ion-selective interface was established to restrict the copper ions in the aqueous phase while ensuring chloride transfer. We demonstrated that the copper-water-chloro solvation complexes are the descriptors, which are predominant in aqueous solutions with optimized concentrations of zinc chloride; thus, copper crossover is prevented. Without this prevention, the copper ions are mostly in the hydration state and exhibit high spontaneity to be solvated in the organic phase. The zinc-copper cell delivers a highly reversible capacity of 395 mAh g −1 with nearly 100% coulombic efficiency, affording a high energy density of 380 Wh kg −1 based on the copper chloride mass. The proposed battery chemistry is expandable to other metal chlorides, which widens the cathode materials available for aqueous chloride ion batteries.

Zero-valent iron (ZVI) technology has become prevalent for the in situ dechlorination of trichloroethylene (TCE) widely found in soils and groundwater. Nevertheless, ZVI technology still encounters several severe bottlenecks, including inadequate reactivity, poor selectivity, and unelucidated mechanism. Herein, we report that a C&S-mZVI bm material, with the Co-incorporation of C and S into Zero-Valent Iron, could significantly improve the degradation efficiency of ZVI, while simultaneously inhibiting the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), thereby enhancing the electron selectivity in the TCE dechlorination. Comprehensive characterization techniques have demonstrated that the Co-incorporation of C and S into ZVI leads to better TCE affinity, faster electron transfer and lower charge-transfer resistances. In addition, novel FeS x and Fe 3 C species emerged as new active sites, resulting in two distinct reaction pathways. Specifically, when the C weight percentage is below 2 %, the cumulative quantity of hydrocarbon products surpasses that of DCE, indicating the dominant β-elimination pathway. Conversely, when the weight percentage of C exceeds 2 %, the overall hydrocarbon products fall short of DCE, suggesting that the TCE hydrogenolysis dechlorination reaction becomes the primary pathway. These insights can benefit not only the development of ZVI-based materials but also enhance the broad application of these materials in remediation of groundwater with chlorinated hydrocarbons.

This study investigated the aging and pollution behavior of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate (PC) microplastics (MPs) exposed to residual chlorine in tap water distribution systems. The ABS and PC MPs in the aging processes were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Results revealed that 0.4 mg/L residual chlorine could induce morphological changes, increase surface oxygen-containing functional groups, and enhance the hydrophilicity of MPs at the CT value of 9216 mg·min/L. Additionally, both ABS and PC MPs released dissolved organic matter (DOM) into water, with higher DOM concentrations observed in the presence of residual chlorine. Besides, this interaction also led to the formation of trichloromethane (TCM). And the TCM production increased with higher MPs concentrations, smaller particle size, and longer chlorine exposure time.

The synthesis of terminal epoxides, which are vital components in pharmaceuticals and resins, often involves dehydrochlorination of β-chlorohydrins. Although intrinsic kinetics indicate that the dehydrochlorination reaction in the presence of sodium hydroxide could be very rapid, the practical implementation could always be hindered by long reaction time and low conversion rate. Extended contact between the product and the alkaline solution can lead to hydrolysis of the epoxy group, thus necessitating the process intensification to realize higher production efficiency and selectivity. Here, by characterizing thermodynamic equilibrium data and in-situ recording of the reaction that proceeded in a constant interphase reactor, the heterogeneous dehydrochlorination is demonstrated to occur primarily in the organic phase, and the overall reaction rate depends on the equilibrium concentration of sodium alkoxides. This finding, which is fundamentally different from the traditional view that chlorohydrin is first dissolved in the aqueous phase and then reacts with NaOH, leads us to use inert alcohols to assist in the extraction of NaOH. Based on this method, the reaction time can be reduced over 80 % both in batch and continuous reactors. Besides, the method is demonstrated to be effective in the dehydrochlorination of five different long-chain β-chlorohydrins.

A new thermal stabilizer , La-Gly (Gly = n -[2-hydroxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)ethyl]-glycin), was synthesized. Through discoloration and dehydrochlorination tests at 180 °C, La-Gly is found to possess high stabilizing efficiency for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC): as the mass ratio of La-Gly to PVC resin is increased from 0.3/50.0 to 2.0/50.0, the time to degradation of PVC samples increases from 90 min to 190 min. Studies on combinations of La-Gly and ZnSt 2 , and of La-Gly and dibenzoyl methane (DBM) show that the initial color of PVC is improved, as the ratio of ZnSt 2 to La-Gly or DBM to La-Gly is increased from 0.3/1.2 to 1.2/0.3. One sample (50.0 g PVC, 0.6 g ZnSt 2 , 0.9 g La-Gly, 3.4 g tributyl citrate) shows the best balance between initial color and long-term thermal stability (140 min). Studies on dynamic thermal stability of the samples (50.0 g PVC, x g La-Gly, 3.4 g tributyl citrate, x = 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0) show that when x equals 1.2, the thermal dynamic stability time is 24.5 min, much longer than 6.4 min and 4.8 min, respectively, for two controls (50.0 g PVC, 1.5 g LaSt 3 , 3.4 g tributyl citrate; 50.0 g PVC, 0.6 g CaSt 2 , 0.9 g ZnSt 2 , 3.4 g tributyl citrate).

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl/ClO − ), a reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays an indispensable role in the human immune system. In this article, a novel red-emission phenothiazine fluorescent protein chromophore RFP-Ptz was developed for the detection of HOCl in cells. In the presence of HOCl, the fluorescence signal 610 nm rose gradually and reached its plateau with 15-fold enhancement; the fluorescence quantum yield increased from 0.01 to 0.12. The electrophilic substitution of Cl + towards phenolic hydroxyl group made the probe exhibited a high selective fluorescence response with a limit of detection (LOD) of 6.76 × 10 −7 M over other analyte species and ROS. This recognition mechanism of oxygen‒chlorine bond (O–Cl) formation has confirmed by HRMS . Finally, the RFP-Ptz can be used to response HOCl with low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility (MTT cytotoxicity assay > 89.5%). The biocompatible RFP-Ptz was successfully applied to the fluorescence imaging of HOCl-related in SGC-7901 cells.

Two types of model Pt–Cu catalysts are designed and prepared to explore the contribution of the geometric and electronic effects from copper to the catalytic performance of Pt nanoparticles in the selective hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB). One model Pt–Cu catalyst (called Cu/C–Pt) is Pt nanoparticles deposited on ultra-small copper particle-decorated activated carbon, and the other is copper particle-decorated Pt/C catalyst (called Pt/C–Cu). Cu/C–Pt catalyst has an activity lower than that of Pt/C, but the selectivity of the desired product p-chloroaniline (p-CAN) on the Cu/C–Pt catalyst is much higher than that on Pt/C. On the Pt/C–Cu catalyst, p-CNB cannot be completely converted into p-CAN. The dechlorination rates of p-CAN on Cu/C–Pt catalysts are three orders of magnitude lower than that on Pt/C. More interestingly, the dechlorination reaction of p-CAN on Pt/C–Cu cannot be observed. High resolution TEM images of our Pt–Cu catalysts show that Pt nanoparticles keep their crystalline structure after incorporation with copper. The dispersions of Pt in 2Pt/C, 5Cu/C–2Pt, and 2Pt/C–5Cu reach 0.106, 0.083 and 0.027, respectively (the numbers before Pt and Cu represent their percentages), revealing that Pt nanoparticles in Cu/C–Pt have a larger exposed surface than those in Pt/C–Cu. It can be deduced that copper mainly exerts an electronic effect on the catalytic performance of Pt nanoparticles in Cu/C–Pt. On the other hand, the geometric effect on Pt from copper in Pt/C–Cu leads to not only a low dispersion of Pt nanoparticles but a weak activity in catalytic hydrogenation of p-CNB and dechlorination of p-CAN. The interaction between Pt nanoparticles and Cu nanoparticles at room temperature is also discussed.
