Dissolved Mn(III), as a potent one-electron transfer oxidant, is ubiquitous in natural waters and sediments and actively involved in the transformation of organics in biogeochemical processes and water treatment. However, the important role of Mn(III) has long been overlooked because of its short life. This study was the first to investigate the performance of Mn(III) in organoarsenic transformation and to highlight the environmental implications. Both homogeneous and heterogeneous Mn(III)-based systems were effective to remove p -arsanilic acid ( p -ASA, 15 μ M) with degradation efficiency approaching 40.4 %–98.3 %. Two degradation pathways of p -ASA were proposed, in which As-C bond and amino group were vulnerable sites to Mn(III) attack, leading to the formation of more toxic arsenate (As(V)) and nitarsone. Through transforming organoarsenic to inorganic arsenic species, the removal efficiency of total arsenic and dissolved organics were enhanced to 65.1 %–95.5 % and 16.6 %–36.6 %, respectively, by post-treatment of coagulation or adsorption, accompanied with significant reduction of cytotoxicity and environmental risks. Particularly, polymeric ferric sulfate and granular activated alumina showed superior performance in the total As removal. Moreover, oxidation efficiency of Mn(III) was hardly affected by common cations and anions (e.g., Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , NH 4 + , NO 3 ˉ, SO 4 ˉ), halide ions (e.g., Clˉ, Brˉ) and natural organic matter, showing high robustness for organoarsenic removal under complicated water matrices. Overall, this study shed light on the significance of Mn(III) to the fate of organoarsenics in manganese-rich environments, and demonstrated the promising potential of Mn(III)-based strategies to achieve targeted decontamination in water/wastewater purification.

Catalyzed oxidative coupling reactions mediated by enzyme have been proposed as an effective remediation strategy to remove micropollutants, however, little is known about how the Mn(II) redox cycling affects the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mediated reactions in wastewater treatment . Here, we explored the removal of two pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), methylparaben (MeP) and acetaminophen (AAP), in HRP-mediated reaction system with dissolved Mn (II). It was found that the conversion rate of AAP was about 284 times higher than that of MeP, and Mn (II) significantly inhibited HRP-catalyzed MeP removal but had little influence on that of AAP. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and theoretical calculations demonstrated that HRP converted Mn(II) into Mn(III), and then generated MnO 2 colloid, which inhibited the removal of the substrates. Moreover, the results of theoretical calculations also showed that the binding energy between HRP and Mn was 27.68 kcal/mol, which was higher than that of MeP (25.24 kcal/mol) and lower than that of AAP (30.19 kcal/mol). Therefore, when MeP and Mn (II) coexisted in the reaction system, HRP preferentially reacted with Mn(II), which explained the different impacts of Mn (II) on the removal of MeP and AAP. Additionally, Mn (II) significantly altered the product distribution by decreasing the amount of polymerization products. Overall, our work here revealed the roles of Mn (II) in the removal of MeP and AAP mediated by HRP, having strong implications for an accurate assessment of the influence of Mn(II) redox cycling on the removal of PPCPs in wastewater treatment.

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on heterogeneous catalytic activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) have been becoming alternatives to conventional wastewater treatment technologies to directly degrade chemical contaminants. To build dual/multi redox cycles of different metal ions may be an effective means for better PMS activation. Herein, this study designed Mn 3 O 4 /CuBi 2 O 4 with dual redox cycles of Mn(III)/Mn(IV) and Cu(I)/Cu(II) to activate PMS for efficiently decomposing and mineralizing diclofenac sodium (DCF). Under optimal reaction conditions, DCF (50 mg/L) was degraded totally within 10 min, and TOC removal rate reached up to 74.3%. The possible mechanism of PMS activation by Mn 3 O 4 /CuBi 2 O 4 was proposed, wherein dual redox cycles of Mn(III)/Mn(IV) and Cu(I)/Cu(II) on Mn 3 O 4 /CuBi 2 O 4 effectively facilitated PMS activation to generate · O 2 − , 1 O 2 , SO 4 · − and · OH, which was responsible for DCF degradation. Moreover, combined with degraded products detected by high resolution liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and corresponding toxic assessment results, the possible degradation pathways of DCF were proposed and the relative toxicity of degraded products was evaluated. This work may be useful for developing stronger heterogeneous activators of PMS to construct more efficient AOPs for purifying wastewater.

Soluble manganese(III), stabilized by ligands as Mn(III)-L complexes, are ubiquitous in natural waters and wastewaters and can potentially serve as both the oxidant and reductant in one-electron transfer reactions with organic contaminants. In this study, the oxidative transformations of 14 phenolic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) by in situ-formed Mn(III)-L complexes, generated from irradiated water containing Mn(II) and humic acid, were investigated. The pseudo-first-order rate constants (kobs, h–1) of these phenols varied from 1.0 × 10–4 to 5.9 × 10–2. A quantitative structure–activity relationship model was developed, which suggests that the electron-donating ability (EHOMO) of phenolic chemicals was the most important molecular characteristic for the Mn(III)-L-mediated oxidative transformation. Phenol transformation was initiated by the generation of a phenoxyl radical through electron transfer to Mn(III)-L. Subsequent self-coupling reactions between phenoxyl radicals resulted in the formation of self-coupling dimers and trimers. With the addition of simple phenol as a cosubstrate, enhanced transformations of these phenolic EDCs were clearly observed, and cross-coupling products of simple phenol and the substrates were also detected. In addition, a reaction activation energy calculation based on the transition-state theory indicated that the cross-coupling reaction was more likely than the self-coupling reaction to occur in the presence of phenol. This work provides new insights into the environmental fate of phenolic compounds.

Reaction with soluble Mn(II) has been considered as a main decay pathway for superoxide in natural waters, accompanied by an important Mn redox cycling. In this study, the interaction of Mn(II) and humic acid (HA) was investigated in visible light irradiated water. Our results indicate that HA may play a dual role to act as a photosensitizer to produce superoxide anions (O2–) and as a strong ligand to stabilize the Mn(III), forming soluble Mn(III)L species for substrate transformation. Furthermore, the reaction kinetics, products, and mechanisms of chlorophene (CP) and estradiol (E2) mixture in the Mn(II)/HA/visible light reaction systems were assessed. The removal of CP and E2 was enhanced by 24.3% and 13.2%, respectively, in mixture solution at initial concentration of 1.0 μM for each target contaminant, as compared to the case of single-compound degradation. Product identification and density functional theory calculations indicated that cross-coupling reaction of CP and E2 radicals was more likely to occur than the self-coupling reaction in mixture solution. In addition, estrogenic activities of initial reaction solution were also effectively decreased during the transformation process. These findings provide new insights into Mn(III)-mediated reactions to better understand the environmental fate of organic contaminant mixture in waters.
