Carbonized aramid fiber was prepared as a new type of adsorbent for in-tube solid-phase microextraction. The surface structure, chemical composition, and graphitization degree of the resulted fiber was determined and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectrometry. The prepared fiber was packed in a stainless-steel tube instead of the sample loop of a six-port and tested for the extraction of five environmental estrogen hormones coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography. Several parameters affecting the estrogens’ extraction including the sampling volume, sampling rate, NaCl content, and desorption time were investigated in detail. The extraction tube with carbonized aramid fiber exhibited remarkable extraction performance towards five estrogen targets. The analysis method was established, and it exhibited a wide linear range (0.5–10.0 μg/L) with good linearity (correlation coefficient ≥0.9906), low limits of detection (0.011–0.13 μg/L), and high enrichment factors (178–1335) for the five analytes. Relative standard deviations (n = 3) for intraday (≤4.8%) and interday (≤4.0%) tests indicated that the extraction material had satisfactory repeatability. Bisphenol A released from a polycarbonate (PC) bottle was quantitatively detected with a concentration of 8.3 μg/L. The relative recoveries spiked at 5 and 10 μg/L were investigated, and the results were in the range of 74.3–121% for real water samples.

Electrode material plays a critical role in both electrochemical energy storage and sensors, and there is an urgent need to develop novel electrode materials with high reactivity and catalytic activity. Herein, a multicomponent NiS2/MoS2/rGO electrode nanomaterial consisting of self-stacking NiS2 microblocks, hydrangea-like MoS2 nanosheets, and ultrathin reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanolayers is synthesized via a facile two-step hydrothermal process. The ingenious combination of NiS2, MoS2, and rGO provides the nanocomposite good capacitance and sensitivity in electrochemical applications. As a result, the NiS2/MoS2/rGO nanocomposite exhibits a good specific capacitance of 645.3 F g–1 at 0.5 A g–1 and rate performance of 126.7 F g–1 at 10 A g–1. The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor of NiS2/MoS2/rGO//activated carbon delivers a high energy density of 19.4 Wh kg–1 at a power density of 156.1 W kg–1 for electrochemical energy storage. In addition, the electrochemical sensor based on a NiS2/MoS2/rGO nanocomposite modified onto glassy carbon electrode (GCE) shows superior activity toward detection of bisphenol A (BPA) compared with other reported electrochemical sensors. A wide linear range of 0.02–200 μM and a low detection limit of 2.1 nM can be obtained under the optimal conditions. This work provides insights into the development of multicomponent NiS2/MoS2/rGO electrode nanomaterial, including its facile synthesis method, good specific capacitance, and ultrasensitive detection of BPA, that exhibits bifunctional electrochemical applications.

The potential coexistence and interaction of bromine and polyamide membranes during membrane-based water treatment prompts us to investigate the effect of bromine on membrane performance. For fully aromatic polyamide membrane NF90 exposed under a mild bromination condition (10 mg/L), bromine incorporation resulted in more negatively charged (−13 vs −25 mV) and hydrophobic (55.2 vs 58.9°) surfaces and narrower pore channels (0.3 vs 0.29 nm). The permeabilities of water and neutral solutes were reduced by 64 and 69–87%, respectively, which was attributed to the decreased effective pore radius and hydrophilicity. NaCl permeability was reduced by 90% as a synergistic result of enhanced size exclusion and charge repulsion. The further exposure (100 and 500 mg/L bromine) resulted in a more hydrophobic surface (61.7 and 65.5°) and the minor further reduction for water and solute permeabilities (1–9%). Compared with chlorine, the different incorporation efficiency and properties (e.g., atomic size, hydrophilicity) of bromine resulted in opposite trends and/or different degrees for the variation of physicochemical properties and filtration performance of membranes. The bromine incorporation, the shift and disappearance of three characteristic bands, and the increased O/N ratio and calcium content indicated the degradation pathways of N-bromination and bromination-promoted hydrolysis under mild bromination conditions (480 mg/L·h). The further ring-bromination occurred after severe bromine exposure (4800–24,000 mg/L·h). The semi-aromatic polyamide membrane NF270 underwent a similar but less significant deteriorated filtration performance compared with NF90, which requires a different explanation.

Siderite is a conventional mineral of sedimentary rock and can activate H 2 O 2 to produce hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Bisphenol A (BPA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), and sodium sulfadiazine are selected as typical micropollutants to be degraded in a siderite-activated H 2 O 2 system. To determine the influence of solution chemistry on siderite-activated Fenton-like reactions, the amount of ·OH was quantified by using benzoic acid as a probe molecule, and then, kinetic fitting was used to analyze the reaction rate. The results showed that in the range of pH values from 3 to 9, the dissolved Fe 2+ and the lattice Fe(Ⅱ) of siderite activate H 2 O 2 to generate ·OH. An increase in siderite dosage and H 2 O 2 concentration favored the generation of ·OH, but higher siderite dosage and H 2 O 2 concentration suppressed the production rate. The inhibition order of anions on the generation of ·OH was confirmed as follows C l − > N O 3 − > S O 4 2 − . Little difference was observed in the presence of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ , while the presence of Mn 2+ significantly promoted the production of ·OH. The suppression of humic acid (HA) became more serious as the HA concentration increased. Cycling experiments proved that the system could still produce ·OH in four cycles, although the production rate experienced a slight decrease. The experimental results suggested the role of siderite in the degradation of organic pollution in the process of in-situ soil and groundwater remediation.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is widely used to manufacture packaging materials for various daily necessities and causes harmful effects in organs, especially liver injury, by generating oxidative stress. Oridonin, an active diterpenoid isolated from Rabdosia rubescens (Hemsl.) Hara , has been reported to possess a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and antiapoptotic effects. However, the role of oridonin in BPA--induced liver injury and its potential protective mechanism have not been well characterized. In this research, we explored the metabolic alterations in the liver tissue of rats after exposure to BPA with or without pretreatment with oridonin for 14 days by metabolomics analysis based on UPLC-MS/MS. Rats were randomly divided into groups as follows: Control, Vehicle, Oridonin (10 mg/kg), Bisphenol A (500 mg/kg), bisphenol A + Oridonin (500 + 10 mg/kg), Bisphenol A + Diammonium glycyrrhizinate (500 + 40 mg/kg). The biochemical results showed that oridonin significantly reduced the levels of AST and ALT ( P < 0.05), ameliorated the abnormal histopathological changes and reduced hepatic apoptosis compared with the BPA group. Furthermore, metabolomics results revealed that purine metabolism, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis and phenylalanine metabolism were reprogrammed, based on 28 identified significant differential metabolites among the Vehicle, BPA and BPA + oridonin groups. In-depth studies demonstrated that pretreatment with oridonin may play a protective role by restoring BPA-induced changes in oxidative stress and the activity of oxidase (XOD) ( P < 0.05). Additionally, oridonin could inhibit the activity of XOD by binding to it, therefore decreasing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, upregulating the content of hypoxanthine and xanthine, and reducing the level of uric acid in the liver ( P < 0.05). This research presents the potential protective mechanisms of oridonin on BPA-induced liver injury at the metabolic level, which might be used to identify new protective agents that prevent BPA-induced liver injury.

In this work, nanoscale-zero-valent iron (nZVI) was applied to activate sodium percarbonate (SPC) to eliminate bisphenol A (BPA), which poses a risk to ecological and human health as a typical endocrine disruptor. The influence of nZVI loading, SPC dosing, initial pH, and the presence of inorganic anions (including Cl−, HPO42−, NO3− and NO2−) and humic acid on BPA removal by the nZVI/SPC system were investigated. Based on the scavenger test results, ˙OH and CO3˙− participated in the degradation of BPA, and ˙OH was illustrated to be the dominant radical. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis suggested that surface iron oxide generation, electron transfer and Fe2+ release were the main processes of the SPC activation by nZVI. Moreover, BPA transformation products were detected by LC-MS allowing the proposal of a possible degradation pathway of BPA. Along with the degradation of the parent compound BPA, the total organic carbon (TOC) gradually decreased, while the bio-toxicity increased at the initial stage of the reaction (0–3 min) and then decreased to a lower level rapidly at 20 min. Overall, this study evidenced the feasibility of the nZVI/SPC system to efficiently degrade BPA, broadening the applications of nZVI in wastewater treatment.

Recent years, phase change materials (PCMs) with potential to store and transform energy have attracted broad attention, especially in the field of thermal energy storage. However, the instability and leak proneness of PCMs limit their universal application. In this paper, core-shell fibers with 1-tetradecanol (TD) as core and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) as shell were prepared via melt coaxial electrospinning method, and for improvement, the dye composed of crystal violet lactone (CVL) and bisphenol A (BPA) was added to the core to endow the fiber the function of reversible thermochromism. During the preparation process, it was found that the addition of NaCl could regulate the fiber morphology and strength its mechanical property. By adjusting the concentration of shell solution and the flow rate of core solution, the high-strength reversible thermochromic fibers were produced when polymer concentration was 24 wt% with a core feed rate of 0.4 ml/h. The latent heat of these fibers is up to 88.71 J/g. Besides, its color can change from blue to white when heated, and the transition temperature is around 38°C. And 100 thermal cycle tests of the fiber showed its strong thermal stability and thermochromic property.

Bisphenol A (BPA) produced from biomass is a typical endocrine disrupting compound that is carcinogenic and genotoxic and can be accumulated in water due to its extensive use and difficult degradation. In this study, the porous ZnO photocatalyst with core-shell structure and large surface area was successfully developed for the efficient photocatalytic degradation of BPA. The various effects of calcination temperatures, BPA concentrations, ZnO dosages, pH and inorganic ions on the degradation performance were systemically studied. The results showed that 99% degradation of BPA was achieved in 1 h using the porous ZnO calcined at 550°C under the conditions of 30 mg/L BPA, 1 g/L ZnO, and pH of 6.5. Besides, the inhibition effects of anions for the photocatalytic removal of BPA decreased in the order of H2PO4- > HCO3- > SO42- > Cl−, while the cations K+, Ca2+, and Na+ had little effect on the photocatalytic degradation of BPA. The results of scavenging experiments showed that h+, ·O2-, and e− played the key role in the photocatalytic degradation process. Finally, the main pathways of BPA degradation were proposed based on ten intermediates found in the degradation process. This work may provide a good guideline to degrade various endocrine disrupting compounds in wastewater treatment.

In this work, γ-Al2O3-supported CuO (c-CuO/Al2O3) materials are successfully synthesized using a novel impregnation–precipitation–decomposition method. The obtained c-CuO/Al2O3 catalyst shows excellent catalytic activities for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation with sodium persulfate (PDS) as an oxidant. Radical quenching tests and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies indicate that PDS activation is a combined mechanism involving both free radical and nonfree radical pathways. In a continuous large-scale degradation process, about 1.78 L of 20 ppm BPA can be completely removed within 480 min. Although c-CuO/Al2O3 can be deactivated after several reaction cycles, the catalytic activity can be regenerated after simple aerobic calcination. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman analysis confirm that the deactivation of c-CuO/Al2O3 should be attributed to the conversion of Cu(II) to Cu(I). The aerobic calcination could oxidize Cu(I) back to Cu(II), thus recovering the catalytic activity. In addition, the density functional technology (DFT) and temperature-programmed oxidation (TPD) results reveal that γ-Al2O3 can not only serve as a carrier to anchor the CuO particles but also can adsorb and activate PDS by introducing more basic sites on the surface. c-CuO/Al2O3 has high activity and can be regenerated easily, thus having great potential applications for wastewater treatment.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the widely detected endocrine disrupting chemicals in coastal sediment . Biodegradation is a vital pathway of BPA elimination in sediment. However, the impact of vegetation on BPA degradation in coastal sediment is still unclear. In this study, the differences of BPA biodegradation and the functional microbial community and metabolic pathway were explored between mangrove forest and mudflat sediments. A nearly complete BPA attenuation was detected in 4 days in mudflat sediment but 8 days in forest sediment. Bacterial abundance varied greatly in different sediment types. Bacterial community structure changed with BPA biodegradation, dependent on sediment type. During the degradation, the proportions of Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria were higher in BPA amended microcosms than in un-amended microcosms. With BPA biodegradation, a substantial increase in Novosphingobium and Croceicoccus occurred in forest sediment and mudflat sediment, respectively. Additionally, two divergent BPA biodegradation pathways were proposed based on functional annotation and KEGG pathway database. The abundance of functional genes also varied with BPA biodegradation, dependent on sediment type. Gene pcaGH decreased, while genes ligK and pcaD increased in both sediment types. Gene pcaB showed a remarkable increase in forest sediment but a decrease in mudflat sediment. Therefore, BPA degradation and the associated microbial community and metabolic pathway differed between mudflat and mangrove forest sediments.

Carbon materials are effective catalysts to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organic pollutant degradation. Both nitrogen doping and structural defects could enhance their catalytic performance for PMS activation. In this study, nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) is first synthesized by the calcination of graphene oxide (GO) with ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3 ). The obtained NG is then annealed further at a higher temperature under a N 2 atmosphere to remove partially doped N atoms and create new structural defects. The obtained defective nitrogen-doped graphene (D-NG) can activate PMS for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation more effectively. Different annealing temperatures from 850 to 1150 °C are investigated, and D-NG synthesized at 1050 °C exhibits the highest activity. The enhanced catalytic performance is proposed to originate from the synergistic effect between doped N atoms and created structural defects. According to radical quenching, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and electrochemical results, both radical and nonradical pathways are present during PMS activation, and the nonradical pathway plays the dominant role. This study provides a facile method for metal-free catalyst synthesis, which also enriches the synergistic mechanism between doped N and structural defects and thus should have great potential in wastewater remediation.

TiO 2 photocatalysis and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) oxidation can exhibit a good performance in ultraviolet light but a less activity in visible light (VL). Herein, the TiO 2 nano-tubes arrays (TiO 2 NTAs) and PMS were combined to degrade bisphenol A (BPA) under VL irradiation. Surprisingly, about 94.6% of BPA was removed in TiO 2 NTAs/PMS/VL system within 30 min, which was much higher than that of TiO 2 NTAs/VL (20.1%) and PMS/VL (9.4%) systems. A series of spectroscopic characterizations and photoelectrochemical measurements confirmed the formation of PMS-TiO 2 complex with VL response, which can be excited by VL to transfer electrons to the conduction band (CB) of TiO 2 for activating PMS. The quenching tests and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra indicated that SO 4 •− and · OH were responsible for BPA degradation, and then the possible degradation pathways of BPA were proposed. Humic acid (HA) and chloride ions (Cl − ) significantly enhanced the BPA degradation, while bicarbonate (HCO 3 – ) and phosphate (H 2 PO 4 − ) exhibited an inhibition effect. Moreover, TiO 2 NTAs/PMS/VL system displayed an enhanced BPA degradation in tap water and drinking water compared with deionized water, and as an immobilization catalyst which fabricated on Ti plate, TiO 2 NTAs exhibited excellent stability and separability without complex catalyst separation/recovery processes. We believe this work will provide a new insight of the VL-induced photocatalytic PMS activation in practical water treatment.
