Oxidative Polymerization in Water Treatment: Chemical Fundamentals and Future Perspectives

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2025

For several decades, the methodology of complete destruction organic pollutants via oxidation, i.e., mineralization, has been rooted in real water treatment applications. Nevertheless, this industrially accepted protocol is far from sustainable because excessive input chemicals and/or energy as well unregulated carbon emission. Recently, there have emerging studies on removal a completely different pathway, polymerization, meaning that target undergo oxidative polymerization reactions to generate polymeric products. These collectively shown compared conventional mineralization pathway allows more efficient pollutants, largely reduced chemicals, and suppressed In review, we aim provide comprehensive examination fundamentals process, current state-of-the-art strategies for regulation both kinetic thermodynamic perspectives, resource recovery formed end, limitations process pollutant are discussed, with perspectives future studies. Hopefully, review could not only critical insight advancement polymerization-oriented technologies greener manner but also stimulate paradigm innovations low-carbon treatment.

Abstract Valorization of biomass wastes into carbon‐based catalysts for water treatment is a clear paradigm sustainability.Herein, we investigate an unprecedented transformation pine needle waste activated biochars (PNCs) as ozonation aqueous oxalic acid degradation. The physico‐chemical and textural properties PNCs are tailored by combining pyrolysis temperatures up to 1200 °C the use or not KOH K 2 CO 3 activating agents. structural these carbocatalysts correlated with their catalytic activities. PNC catalyst pyrolized at 4 h using (PNC1200‐4K ) provides complete pollutant degradation after 150 min, while without activation requires 300 min. PNC1200‐4K performance compares favorably previous reports. superior activity this reusable attributed its highest population π‐extended aromatic domains active sites together high porosity. formation 1 O , HO . HOO radicals supported electron paramagnetic resonance measurements selective quenching experiments. Unlike most analogous reports, herein, demonstrate that in presence can degrade even common radical scavengers.
