Urbanization and industrialization have exerted significant adverse effects on water quality, resulting in a growing need for reliable eco-friendly treatment technologies. Persulfate (PS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are emerging as viable technologies to treat challenging industrial wastewaters or remediate groundwater impacted by hazardous wastes. While the generated reactive species can degrade variety of priority organic contaminants through radical nonradical pathways, there is lack systematic in-depth comparison these pathways practical implementation different scenarios. Our comparative analysis reaction rate constants vs. indicates that radical-based AOPs may achieve high removal efficiency with relatively short contact time. Nonradical feature advantages minimal matrix interference complex wastewater treatments. (e.g., singlet oxygen, high-valent metals, surface activated PS) preferentially react bearing electron-donating groups, allowing enhancement degradation known target contaminants. For byproduct formation, analytical limitations computational chemistry applications also considered. Finally, we propose holistically estimated electrical energy per order (EE/O) parameter show significantly higher requirements pathways. Overall, critical comparisons help prioritize basic research PS-based inform merits system-specific applications.

Novel Nonradical Oxidation of Sulfonamide Antibiotics with Co(II)-Doped g-C₃N₄-Activated Peracetic Acid: Role of High-Valent Cobalt–Oxo Species

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 55(18), P. 12640 - 12651

Herein, we report that Co(II)-doped g-C3N4 can efficiently trigger peracetic acid (PAA) oxidation of various sulfonamides (SAs) in a wide pH range. Quite different from the traditional radical-generating or typical nonradical-involved (i.e., singlet oxygenation and mediated electron transfer) catalytic systems, PAA activation follows novel nonradical pathway with unprecedented high-valent cobalt–oxo species [Co(IV)] as dominant reactive species. Our experiments density functional theory calculations indicate Co atom fixated into nitrogen pots serves main active site, enabling dissociation adsorbed conversion coordinated Co(II) to Co(IV) via unique two-electron transfer mechanism. Considering be highly electrophilic nature, substituents five-membered six-membered heterocyclic moieties) on SAs could affect their nucleophilicity, thus leading differences degradation efficiency transformation pathway. Also, benefiting selective Co(IV), established oxidative system exhibits excellent anti-interference capacity achieves satisfactory decontamination performance under actual water conditions. This study provides new approach degrade by activating heterogeneous cobalt-complexed catalysts.

The high-valent cobalt-oxo species (Co(IV)=O) is being increasingly investigated for water purification because of its high redox potential, long half-life, and antiinterference properties. However, generation Co(IV)=O inefficient unsustainable. Here, a cobalt-single-atom catalyst with N/O dual coordination was synthesized by O-doping engineering. O-doped (Co-OCN) greatly activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) achieved pollutant degradation kinetic constant 73.12 min-1 g-2, which 4.9 times higher than that Co-CN (catalyst without O-doping) those most reported single-atom catalytic PMS systems. Co-OCN/PMS realized dominant oxidation pollutants increasing the steady-state concentration (1.03 × 10-10 M) 5.9 compared Co-CN/PMS. A competitive kinetics calculation showed contribution to micropollutant 97.5% during process. Density functional theory calculations influenced charge density (increased Bader transfer from 0.68 0.85 e), optimized electron distribution Co center d-band -1.14 -1.06 eV), enhanced adsorption energy -2.46 -3.03 eV, lowered barrier key reaction intermediate (*O*H2O) formation 1.12 0.98 eV. Co-OCN fabricated on carbon felt flow-through device, continuous efficient removal micropollutants (degradation efficiency >85% after 36 h operation). This study provides new protocol activation elimination through heteroatom-doping metal-oxo purification.
