A specially designed combined process of pre-oxidation and nanofiltration membrane was utilized to remove As(III) in the contaminated water without reagent addition and sediment creation in this work. Different parameters that affected the rejections of As(III) and As(V) were discussed, including the initial concentration, pH of the feed, and the cross-flow filtration pressure. The rejection of As(III) was over 70% which was restricted to the high initial feed concentration, while it was around 40% under the other conditions. Whereas, the rejection of As(V) maintained above 95% in all tests. As a result, As(III) was first pre-oxidized before membrane filtration. The ozone and aeration oxidation methods were used to oxidize As(III). The effects of aeration time and oxidation time were studied. The experimental results indicated that the rejection of As(III) was increased to over 90% after pre-oxidation, and the permeate could meet the drinking water standard for As in China. Particularly, the aeration took a much longer oxidation time than ozone, but it was still a more suitable method as the pre-oxidation process because of its safety and easy operability.

Biochar (BC)-mediated aerobic oxidation of arsenite (As(III)) has been reported, but the coupling among phenol-quinone redox cycling, O 2 activation, and pH-regulated H 2 O 2 formation remains insufficiently resolved. In this study, pine-sawdust-derived BC and molecular analogues of phenolic/quinoid moieties, hydroquinone (HQ) and 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ), were used to examine As(III) oxidation at pH 3.0, 7.0, and 9.5 under oxic and oxygen (O 2 )-limited conditions. Under oxic conditions, BC oxidized 42.4%, 21.6%, and 74.7% of As(III) after 24 h at pH 3.0, 7.0, and 9.5, respectively, whereas arsenate (As(V)) formation was negligible under O 2 -limited conditions. BC generated hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in air-equilibrated suspensions, with maximum concentrations of 88.5, 38.8, and 204.2 μM at pH 3.0, 7.0, and 9.5, respectively·H 2 O 2 -associated pathways contributed an estimated 69.2%, 77.2%, and 67.4% to As(III) oxidation at pH 3.0, 7.0, and 9.5, respectively. Superoxide dismutase suppressed O 2 •- generation without affecting H 2 O 2 accumulation or As(III) oxidation, indicating that O 2 •- primarily served as an intermediate in H 2 O 2 formation. Tert-butanol negligibly altered As(V) formation, consistent with the absence of detectable •OH. The BQ/HQ model system confirmed the chemical feasibility of quinone reduction, HQ re-oxidation by O 2 , and associated H 2 O 2 generation, but it should be interpreted as a molecular analogue rather than direct proof of the heterogeneous BC surface mechanism. Overall, BC mediates As(III) oxidation mainly via O 2 -dependent H 2 O 2 production promoted by phenol-quinone-like redox cycling, while the non-monotonic pH trend (pH 9.5 > pH 3.0 > pH 7.0) reflecting the combined effects of As(III) speciation, surface redox behavior, and H 2 O 2 availability.

Sodium alginate (SA), polyvinyl oxide (PEO), and ceramic nanomaterials were used to prepare alginate composite gel. The present study examined the removal rate and adsorption capacity of alginate composite gel for removal of wastewater As(III), Pb(II), and Zn(II). Batch experiments were conducted to study the influence of experimental parameters such as pH and temperature, as well as the mechanism of As(III), Pb(II), and Zn(II) adsorption with the new adsorbent. The results showed the high efficiency of sodium alginate composite gel for removal of wastewater As(III), Pb(II), and Zn(II). Under the condition of the best liquid-solid ratio and the contact time, the removal rates of As(III), Pb(II), and Zn(II) were 67.42%, 95.31%, and 93.96%, respectively. The pseudo-second-order kinetic equation was superior to fit the adsorption kinetics process. The isothermal adsorption models of As(III) and Pb(II) fitted well with the Freundlich model, and Zn(II) fitted well with the Langmuir model. The results of SEM, EDS, XPS, and FTIR analyses revealed that the adsorption process occurred mainly via chemisorption. The results of the present study suggest that new adsorbents can be effectively utilized for As(III), Pb(II), and Zn(II) removal from water.

Adsorption is recognized as a cost-effective, efficient, and versatile method for the treatment of heavy metal pollution, offering environmentally friendly solutions. The development of highly efficient and selective adsorbent materials is essential, with functional groups such as sulfhydryl and amine groups playing a crucial role in the effectiveness and selectivity of adsorption processes. Polymer-based materials have emerged as a promising class of selective adsorbents due to their naturally occurring amine groups. In this study, a bifunctional adsorbent with a concave morphology was developed by grafting sulfhydryl groups to selectively adsorb As(III) and Pb(II) from aqueous solutions. Maximum adsorption capacities for As(III) and Pb(II) were found to be 165.51 mg g −1 and 62.38 mg g −1 , respectively, at an optimum dosage of 0.05 mg mL −1 and an original concentration of 20 mg L −1 for both metals. Notably, the concave spheres exhibited superior morphology advantages for As(III) and Pb(II) adsorption compared to hollow and solid polymers, with adsorption capacities 1.8 times higher than hollow polymers and 3.7 times higher than solid spheres for As(III) adsorption, and 3.4 times higher than solid spheres for Pb(II) adsorption. Mechanistic studies revealed that the selective capture of As(III) was primarily attributed to the proposed reaction routes between As(III) and -SH groups. Isothermal models, including Langmuir and Freundlich, suggested that monolayer adsorption on homogeneous surfaces may dominate for As(III), while multilayer adsorption is favored for Pb(II) extraction.

As a metal-free alternative, graphene-based catalysts have attracted increasing attention for minimizing the risk of heavy metal exposure. In this study, a nitrogen–doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) material was synthesized by a one–pot hydrothermal method using dicyandiamide as the precursor. N-rGO has been adopted for sulfite activation for the first time, to our knowledge. The established N–rGO/sulfite system could effectively remove As(III) in water, and the solution pH and dissolved oxygen were the most important factors affecting the removal. The results of density functional theory calculations indicated that sulfite activation was more likely to occur on C atoms adjacent to the N dopant. It was inferred that the generated hydroxyl radical (HO • ) played a vital role in As(III) oxidation. In addition, the conversion of pyridinic nitrogen to pyrrolic nitrogen was responsible for the poor long–term stability of N-rGO. These results demonstrated that N-rGO was a promising catalyst for water treatment.

Water stable Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 composites were successfully fabricated by a facile modification. The composites were characterized by powder XRD, SEM, TEM and BET surface areas measurement. The results showed that as-obtained Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 composites possess core-shell structures (Fe 3 O 4 as core and ZIF-8 as shell) with a high surface area (1133 m 2 g −1 ). The composites were also evaluated for adsorption of As(III) from solution. Langmuir model could be suitable to express the adsorption isotherm, indicating that the uptake of As(III) on Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 is monolayer adsorption with maximum capacity being 100 m 2 g −1 . Thermodynamics data revealed that the adsorption followed a spontaneous, endothermic and entropy increase process. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that the adsorption kinetics fit pseudo-second-order better with correlation coefficient R 2 of 0.9881. The effects of anions such as chloride, nitrate, carbonate, phosphate and sulfate on the removal of As(III) were also examined. The results indicated that ordinary anions would not hinder adsorption of As(III) except that the carbonate and phosphate anions could compete with As(III) for adsorptive sites on the adsorbent. This research showed Fe 3 O 4 @ZIF-8 is a promising composite in practical application as it can be easily separated by magnetism after used in the water treatment with efficient removal of As(III) from aqueous solution.

Effective arsenic pollution control necessitates real-time arsenic compositional monitoring, a demand that conventional analytical techniques struggle to meet due to limitations in timeliness and economy. Herein, an innovative deep ultraviolet (DUV) spectroscopy method is proposed, enabling the direct speciation and quantification of high concentration arsenic in copper smelting wastewater. High fidelity DUV spectra were acquired via a specialized measurement system that eliminated oxygen and stray light interferences, wherein the specific arsenic-related features revealed the capability for inorganic As(III)/As(V) quantification. TD-DFT simulations elucidated the differentiated spectral signatures of As species via distinct electronic transition mechanisms. In addition, matrix interference mechanisms on arsenic quantification were studied, with sulfuric acid modulating arsenic protonation states, and Fe(III) alongside Cu(II) inducing linear DUV spectral superposition. Incorporating these mechanistic insights, an optimized partial least squares (PLS) model was developed for the proposed analytical method, ensuring effective quantitative analysis of the arsenic species. Compared with conventional analytical techniques, the developed method achieved competitive accuracy across simulated and authentic wastewater samples with arsenic concentrations exceeding 0.1 M, while demonstrating significantly better green analytical chemistry scores. This approach realizes direct arsenic speciation and quantification without complex pretreatments, providing a rapid, economical, and sustainable analytical tool for arsenic pollution control. Furthermore, it offers a novel DUV analytical paradigm for monitoring highly concentrated and complex aqueous solutions across a broad range of process industries.

In this study, CdSe cluster-modified biogenic α − FeOOH based on macroporous biochar was constructed from rhizosphere iron plaque via pyrolysis. An ultrahigh H 2 O 2 production rate of 655.75 μmol/L was achieved by the photocatalysis-self-Fenton system within 30 min under visible light irradiation. α-FeOOH, with abundant iron ions, can directly activate H 2 O 2 to produce abundant ⋅OH radicals. It was found that As(III) (10 mg/L) could be completely degraded within 20 min. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) and density functional theory (DFT) revealed that a suitable energy band structure was achieved by the introduction of CdSe clusters; thus, O 2 was mainly reduced to H 2 O 2 through a two-electron reduction route in the reaction system. The photogenerated electrons promoted the conversion of Fe(III)/Fe(II) by reacting with Fe(III) in α-FeOOH. The presence of H 2 O 2 and Fe 2+ in this system accelerates the oxidation of As(III) by a Fenton-like reaction.

To strengthen the utilization of free radicals and effectively enhance electrocatalytic performance and service lifetime of the β -PbO 2 electrode, herein, a novel hydrophobic TNAs/SnO 2 /PPy/ β -PbO 2 -Ce-SDS (abbreviated as β -PbO 2 -Ce-SDS) anode was synthesized by doping Ce 3+ and anionic surfactant (SDS) to TNAs/SnO 2 /PPy/ β -PbO 2 (abbreviated as β -PbO 2 ), which was constructed by growing SnO 2 /PPy/ β -PbO 2 multilayers on TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) via combination of electrodeposition and electro-polymerization processes. Notably, co-modification with Ce 3+ and SDS remarkably enhanced the surface hydrophobicity, electrochemical performance and catalytic ability of β -PbO 2 anode. Such β -PbO 2 -Ce-SDS anode not only substantially enhanced the As(III) conversion (96.96%) in the electrocatalytic oxidation process, but also prominently strengthened its service lifetime. Furthermore, the as-prepared β -PbO 2 -Ce-SDS anode possessed an excellent stability as its kinetic constant was only reduced from 0.18 to 0.14 min −1 even underwent 10 cycles of the electrocatalytic process, while that of the unmodified β -PbO 2 electrode decreased markedly by about 49%, owing to its appropriate surface hydrophobicity, smaller grains and denser β -PbO 2 layer. The reaction mechanism of electrocatalytic oxidation was associated with synergistic effects of hydroxyl radical ( OH), superoxide radicals ( O 2 − ), and sulfuric acid root radicals ( SO 4 − ). The β -PbO 2 -Ce-SDS anode provides a novel and feasible approach to development of various electrodes by doping metal ions and/or regulating with surfactants.

Addressing the ever-growing arsenite pollution in groundwater has become an essential and urgent issue for ensuring the safety of human beings and the environment. It is highly attractive to preoxidize As(III) to relatively low toxic As(V) for further efficient arsenic removal by adsorption, ion exchange, or coagulation. In this study, a novel heterostructure Cu2O@TiO2 nanotube array coated titanium anode (CTNTA) was fabricated by combination of electrochemical anodization and electrodeposition and used for the highly efficient photoelectrocatalytic oxidation conversion of As(III) to As(V) in aqueous solution. The morphology, composition, and photoelectric performances of the CTNTA anode were systematically characterized. The effect of the loading amount of Cu2O nanoparticles on the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation kinetics of As(III) was investigated, and the comparison study among photocatalytic, electrocatalytic, and photoelectrocatalytic oxidations of As(III) was also explored to demonstrate the synergistic effect of As(III) oxidation conversion performance. The heterostructure CTNTAs-1.00 delivered a substantially enhanced photoelectrocatalytic oxidation ratio of As(III) at 95% within 30 min at a current density of 10 mA·cm–2 under visible-light irradiation. The electrochemical deposition amount of Cu2O nanoparticles on TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) was found to be positively correlated with the achievement of boosted As(III) oxidation efficiency. The high photoelectrocatalytic oxidation performance of the CTNTA was ascribed to the favored separation efficiency of photoinduced carriers and electron–hole pairs under both visible light irradiation and electric potential conditions. The photoelectrocatalytic oxidation reaction mechanism was proven to be ascribed to the active species of holes (h+), superoxide radicals (•O2–), and hydroxyl radicals (•OH). These results highlight the high conversion rate of As(III) by the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation reaction on such a nanostructured anode, which offers a promising methodology for further in-depth oxidation of As(III) in aqueous solution.

Mn-oxide-containing adsorbents have shown outstanding performances for the removal of As(III) through an “oxidation-adsorption” process. In this study, a new adsorbent of Fe-Mn-Cu ternary oxide (FMCTO) was fabricated to improve the redox reaction rate and to enhance the recovery of oxidative ability. FMCTO exhibited a stronger ability for As(III) removal than most of other adsorbents, because it has better oxidative capability for As(III) oxidation. The state of dynamic equilibrium for As(III) removal by FMCTO could be basically achieved within 3 h, and the As removal efficiency reached 98.9% at time = 24 h. The Langmuir As adsorption capacity of FMCTO was determined to be 204.8 mg/g. The As(III) removal efficiency of FMCTO was further boosted by 7% through oxygen gas aeration and decreased by 19% with nitrogen gas in the ambient during the first 3 h, indicating the positive effect of oxygen on As(III) oxidation. EPR and UV spectra methods were used to confirm the generation of superoxide radical (O 2 − ) and the enhanced production of Mn(III) soluble species on FMCTO surfaces, thus achieving a better As(III) oxidation performance. The XPS analysis results showed that the electron transfer from Cu(I) to Mn(IV) could improve the stability of Mn(III) within FMCTO. Meanwhile, Mn(II) ions could be oxidized to Mn(III) by O 2 − . Hence, the formation of a redox cycle between Mn(II) and Mn(III) along with the production of O 2 − plays a vital role in the upgraded As(III) removal mechanisms. This study provides new insights into the promotion of the capability of Mn-containing adsorbents for achieving the improved removal of As from As(III)-contaminated water.

In this work, amido-functionalized Fe3O4 microspheres (AFFMs) were loaded in network-structured MnO2 to form a nanocomposite named as OAM. OAM could remove chlortetracycline hydrochloride (CTC) and trivalent arsenic (As(III)) simultaneously from swine urine aqueous solution and soil. Therein, OAM has a high adsorption capability for CTC through hydrogen bonds. Additionally, OAM could effectively adsorb As(III) through electrostatic attraction and then oxidize it to pentavalent arsenic (As(V)). Afterward, the resulting OAM/CTC/As could be conveniently removed with a magnet. When OAM was deposited on the surface of a piece of cotton fabric (CF), the obtained OAM/CF could efficiently control the migration of CTC and As(III) in a sand–soil mixture. Importantly, OAM could effectively reduce the uptake of CTC and As by zebrafish, water spinach, and pakchoi, and promote the growth of water spinach. Finally, OAM possessed good biosafety for embryos of Caenorhabditis elegans. Thus, this work provides a new method to remove CTC and As(III) simultaneously in swine urine aqueous solution and soil, which may have a high application value.
