Comparisons of polychromatic and monochromatic UV-based treatments of bisphenol-A in water via toxicity assessments

Polychromatic ultraviolet irradiation, such as from medium pressure (MP) Hg lamps may enhance the UV degradation of environmental pollutants as compared to low pressure (LP) Hg UV sources emitting monochromatic irradiation. Typically, studies involving destruction of environmental pollutants such as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are based on measurement of the parent compound decay using analytical chemistry, but such information is insufficient to determine an effective treatment endpoint because the identity and biological activity of many transformation products remain unknown. Bioanalytical methods to assess residual biological activity of a treated water offers one means to compare removal efficiency of EDC activity between MP- and LP-UV lamps under photolysis and UV/H2O2 oxidation. In this study, changes in estrogenic activity of bisphenol-A (BPA) as a function of UV treatment were evaluated using both an in vitro yeast estrogen screen and in vivo vitellogenin assay with Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) fish. Decay of BPA parent compound and formation of degradation products were followed using HPLC analysis. Results demonstrated that MP-UV direct photolysis more effectively removed BPA and associated estrogenic activity compared to LP-UV lamps. UV in combination with H2O2 significantly removed estrogenic activity in vitro and in vivo compared to direct photolysis; however, no significant difference in removal rates was found between the two lamps under UV/H2O2 oxidation. Furthermore, the UV/H2O2 process was effective for reducing embryo toxicity of BPA, but resulted in the production of acidic intermediates, causing acute toxicity and delayed hatching in some medaka embryos.     

Formation of estrogenic products from environmental phthalate esters under light exposure

Phthalate esters (PEs) have been suspected to be environmental endocrine disruptors and the detailed mechanism remains unclear. The activities of these chemicals can be enhanced through chemical modification under the environmental conditions. We demonstrate that PEs acquire unequivocal estrogenic activity by light exposure. Through UV exposure of an aqueous PE solution, one active photoproduct, identified as 4-hydroxyPE (PE-4OH) based on its characteristic UV and mass spectra, was detected in an estrogen receptor alpha-dependent transactivation assay. PE-4OH was effectively generated by UV 290 nm. The PE-4OH production accompanied H2O2 generation in a UV dose-dependent manner. Both PE and UV irradiation were indispensable in the generation of H2O2. Addition of H2O2 to the PE solution increased PE-4OH production under UV irradiation. The PE-4OH production was also observed in the PE reaction with the Fenton reagent generating hydroxyl radical without UV irradiation. The proposed mechanism for PE-4OH production based on these results is such that by PE-mediated photosensitization H2O2 is generated from O2 and H+ and decomposed to hydroxyl radical, thus oxidizing the PE benzene ring. The PEs-4OH are remarkably active estrogenic products of PEs and would be involved in ER-mediated endocrine disruption.

Comparison of advanced oxidation processes and identification of monuron photodegradation products in aqueous solution

The photodegradation of monuron (3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea) in aqueous solutions under simulated solar irradiation has been conducted by different advanced oxidation processes (UV/H(2)O(2), UV/H(2)O(2)/Fe(2+), UV/H(2)O(2)/TiO(2), UV/TiO(2), dark H(2)O(2)/Fe(3+)). The degradation rates were always higher for the homogeneous catalysis in photo-Fenton reactions (UV/H(2)O(2)/Fe(2+)) compared to the heterogeneous photocatalytic systems (TiO(2)/UV and UV/H(2)O(2)/TiO(2)). Optimal concentrations of Fe(2+) and H(2)O(2) for the abatement of the herbicide in the photo-Fenton system were found to be 1 mM Fe(II) and 10 mM H(2)O(2). Several intermediary products were identified using large volume injection micro-liquid chromatography with UV detection (mu-LC-UV), mu-LC-MS and GC-MS techniques and a degradation mechanism has been proposed.     

Photochemical degradation and mineralization of 4-chlorophenol

INTENTION, GOAL, SCOPE, BACKGROUND: Since the intermediate products of some compounds can be more toxic and/or refractory than the original compund itself, the development of innovative oxidation technologies which are capable of transforming such compounds into harmless end products, is gaining more importance every day. Advanced oxidation processes are one of these technologies. However, it is necessary to optimize the reaction conditions for these technologies in order to be cost-effective. OBJECTIVE: The main objectives of this study were to see if complete mineralization of 4-chlorophenol with AOPs was possible using low pressure mercury vapour lamps, to make a comparison of different AOPs, to observe the effect of the existence of other ions on degradation efficiency and to optimize reaction conditions. METHODS: In this study, photochemical advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) utilizing the combinations of UV, UV/H2O2 and UV/H2O2/Fe2+ (photo-Fenton process) were investigated in labscale experiments for the degradation and mineralization of 4-chlorophenol. Evaluations were based on the reduction of 4-chlorophenol and total organic carbon. The major parameters investigated were the initial 4-chlorophenol concentration, pH, hydrogen peroxide and iron doses and the effect of the presence of radical scavengers. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: It was observed that the 4-chlorophenol degradation efficiency decreased with increasing concentration and was independent of the initial solution pH in the UV process. 4-chlorophenol oxidation efficiency for an initial concentration of 100 mgl(-1) was around 89% after 300 min of irradiation in the UV process and no mineralization was achieved. The efficiency increased to > 99% with the UV/H2O2 process in 60 min of irradiation, although mineralization efficiency was still around 75% after 300 min of reaction time. Although the H2O2/4-CP molar ratio was kept constant, increasing initial 4-chlorophenol concentration decreased the treatment efficiency. It was observed that basic pHs were favourable in the UV/H2O2 process. The results showed that the photo-Fenton process was the most effective treatment process under acidic conditions. Complete disappearance of 100 mgl(-1) of 4-chlorophenol was achieved in 2.5 min and almost complete mineralization (96%) was also possible after only 45 min of irradiation. The efficiency was negatively affected from H2O2 in the UV/H2O2 process and Fe2+ in the photo-Fenton process over a certain concentration. The highest negative effect was observed with solutions containing PO4 triple ions. Required reaction times for complete disappearance of 100 mgl(-1) 4-chlorophenol increased from 2.5 min for an ion-free solution to 30 min for solutions containing 100 mgl(-1) PO4 triple ion and from 45 min to more than 240 min for complete mineralization. The photodegradation of 4-chlorophenol was found to follow the first-order law. CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that UV irradiation alone can degrade 4-CP, although at very slow rates, but cannot mineralize the compound. The addition of hydrogen peroxide to the system, the so-called UV/H2O2 process, significantly enhances the 4-CP degradation rate, but still requires relatively long reaction periods for complete mineralization. The photo-Fenton process, the combination of homogeneous systems of UV/H2O2/Fe2+ compounds, produces the highest photochemical elimination rate of 4-CP and complete mineralization is possible to achieve in quite shorter reaction periods when compared with the UV/H2O2 process. RECOMMENDATIONS AND OUTLOOK: It is more cost effective to use these processes for only purposes such as toxicity reduction, enhancement of biodegradability, decolorization and micropollutant removal. However the most important point is the optimization of the reaction conditions for the process of concern. In such a case, AOPs can be used in combination with a biological treatment systems as a pre- or post treatment unit providing the cheapest treatment option. The AOP applied, for instance, can be used for toxicity reduction and the biological unit for chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal.     

Fate of bisphenol A during treatment with the litter-decomposing fungi Stropharia rugosoannulata and Stropharia coronilla

Bisphenol A is an endocrine disrupting compound, which is ubiquitous in the environment due to its wide use in plastic and resin production. Seven day old cultures of the litter-decomposing fungus Stropharia coronilla removed the estrogenic activity of bisphenol A (BPA) rapidly and enduringly. Treatment of BPA with purified neutral manganese peroxidase (MnP) from this fungus also resulted in 100% reduction of estrogenic activity, as analyzed using a bioluminescent yeast assay, and in the formation of polymeric compounds. In cultures of Stropharia rugosoannulata, estrogenic activity also quickly disappeared but temporarily re-emerged in the further course of cultivation. LC-MS analysis of the extracted estrogenic culture liquid revealed [M−H]⁻ ions with m/z values of 219 and 235. We hypothesize that these compounds are ring fission products of BPA, which still exhibit one intact hydroxyphenyl group to interact with estrogen receptors displayed by the yeast.     

Photosensitized degradation of bisphenol A involving reactive oxygen species in the presence of humic substances

The photodegradation of endocrine disrupter bisphenol A (BPA) in the presence of natural humic substances (HS) under simulated solar irradiation was studied. BPA underwent slow direct photolysis in neutral pure water, but rapid photosensitized degradation in four kinds of HS, following pseudo-first-order reaction. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed from HS were determined, including OH, (1)O(2) and H(2)O(2). The enhancement of BPA degradation by adding Fe(III) was primarily attributed to the oxidation of OH produced from photo-Fenton-like reaction. And the joint effects of HS and nitrate ions coexisting on BPA degradation appeared to depend on respective concentration levels. The effects of dissolved oxygen suggested that the energy transfer between excited state of SRFA and NOFA likely occurred, while the abstraction of phenolic hydrogen atom to reactive triplet state of NOHA possibly took place. Based on the structural analyses of main intermediates and degradation products of BPA detected by GC-MS, the possible photodegradation pathways were proposed, involving the alky cleavage, alkyl oxidation and OH addition. This study gave a better understanding for the photochemical transformation of BPA induced by ROS generated from natural water composition under sunlight irradiation.     

Estrone direct photolysis: by-product identification using LC-Q-TOF

The identification of degradation products generated upon photolysis of estrone (E1), a natural estrogenic hormone, under simulated UV irradiation conditions was addressed by the use of LC-Q-TOF mass spectrometry. The structures of the main degradation products were elucidated, demonstrating how the use of model molecules 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphtol (THN), 2-methylcyclopentanone (MCP), labeled molecule estrone D(4) (E1-D(4)), the investigation of the fragmentation pathways of the parent E1, the concurrent use of CID and exact mass measurements permit the characterization of structural modifications induced by photodegradation processes. In the present study, we identified nine major by-products of which seven photoproducts correspond to E1H(+) modified in positions other than the C-2, C-4 and C-16 of E1. Most of them showed one to three additional hydroxylations preferentially located on the aromatic ring of the parent E1, which confirms that these products may present environmental risk. Applications to real water samples have been conducted to extend the validity of the present study to environmental samples.     

Treatment of oily port wastewater effluents using the ultraviolet/hydrogen peroxide photodecomposition system.

This paper presents the nonselective degradation of mechanically pretreated oily wastewater by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence and absence of UV irradiation. The effect of chemical oxidation on wastewater biodegradability was also examined. The exclusive use of H2O2 photolyzed by daylight results in quite efficient degradation rates for the low peroxide concentrations used. Higher hydrogen peroxide concentrations inhibit degradation of organic contaminants in the wastewater. The degradation rates of all contaminants are relatively high with an advanced oxidation system (UV/H2O2), but degradation efficiencies are not distinguishably different when 20 or 45 minutes of UV irradiation is used. The excess of H2O2 used in the process can inhibit phenolic degradation and may lead to the formation of a new phenolic fraction. The biodegradability of port wastewater did not increase significantly following the application of the advanced oxidation process.     

Effect directed analysis and mixture effects of estrogenic compounds in a sediment of the river Elbe

INTRODUCTION: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are present in the environment and can have serious effects on humans and wildlife. For the establishment of environmental quality guidelines and regulation of EDCs, a better understanding and knowledge of the occurrence and the behavior of environmental EDCs is necessary. The aim of the present study was to comprehensively identify substances that are responsible for the estrogenic effect of an environmental sediment sample taken from the river Elbe/Germany. DISCUSSION: The estrogenic effect of the organic sediment extract was determined using the yeast-estrogen-screen (YES). The sample was fractionated by liquid chromatography (LC) for effect directed analysis. The composition of estrogen-active fractions was further investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-resolution LC-MS analysis. The composition of the environmental sample was rebuilt with pure compounds in order to assess the partition of estrogenic activity caused by the identified compounds. The organic sediment extract showed an estrogenic potential of 1.9?±?0.4 ng/g ethinylestradiol equivalents in the sediment. The most prominent contaminants with an estrogenic potential were 17β-estradiol, estrone, and 4-iso-nonylphenols, but other xenoestrogens like bisphenol A and stigmasterol could be found as well. A rebuild of the sample was measured in the YES in order to investigate mixture effects. About 67 % of the observed estrogenic effect in the sediment extract could be explained by a mixture which contained all identified compounds. Chlorophene (o-benzyl-p-chlorophenol)-a widely used antiseptic that was also identified in the sediment extract-has xenoestrogenic properties in the YES that are in the range of other xenoestrogens like 4-n-nonylphenol. This is the first report on chlorophene acting as a xenoestrogen.     

Degradation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins in aqueous solution by Fe(II)/H2O2/UV system

The photodegradation of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), which include tetra- to octa-CDDs (TeCDD, PeCDD, HxCDD, HpCDD and OCDD), was carried out in the presence of Fe(II) and H2O2 mixed reagent. The degradation efficiency was strongly influenced by UV irradiation, and the initial concentrations of H2O2 and Fe(II). An initial TeCDD concentration of 10 ng l(-1) was completely degraded within 20 min under the optimum conditions. All PCDDs tested were successfully degraded by Fe(II)/H2O2/UV treatment and complete degradation of TeCDD, PeCDD and HxCDD was achieved within 120 min. PCDD photodegradation rates decreased with the number of chlorine atoms. The degradation process of TeCDD by this system seems to be initiated by an oxidative reaction (OH* radical attack) because less chlorinated DDs as intermediate products were not detected. From the Frontier electron density calculation, the first OH* radical attack positions on TeCDD were found to be four C atoms neighboring two O atoms. The decomposition of TeCDD gave 4,5-dichlorocatechol as an intermediate product. A TeCDD degradation scheme was proposed based on the identified intermediate and the values of Frontier electron density. Based on these results, Fe(II)/H2O2/UV system could be useful technology for the treatment of wastewater containing persistent pollutants such as dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls.     

Chlorination of bisphenol A in aqueous media: formation of chlorinated bisphenol A congeners and degradation to chlorinated phenolic compounds

The chlorination of bisphenol A (BPA) in aqueous media was investigated in order to describe the degradation profile of this compound and the formation of chlorinated products. Aqueous solutions of BPA (approx. 1 mg/l) were chlorinated by sodium hypochlorite solution at room temperature and under weakly alkaline conditions. Chlorinated compounds were extracted with dichloromethane and determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). BPA was consumed completely within 5 min of chlorination, when the initial chlorine concentration was 10.24 mg/l (molar ratio to BPA, 58.7). On the other hand, when the initial chlorine concentration was 1.03 mg/l (molar ratio, 6.56), 9.3% of BPA still remained after 60 min chlorination. Five chlorinated BPA congeners, 2-chlorobisphenol A (MCBPA), 2,6-dichlorobisphenol A (2,6-D2CBPA), 2,2'-dichlorobisphenol A (2,2'-D2CBPA), 2,2',6-trichlorobisphenol A (T3CBPA) and 2,2', 6,6'-tetrachlorobisphenol A (T4CBPA) were formed in the earlier stages of chlorination. Several chlorinated phenolic compounds, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (T3CP), 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (D2CBQ), 2,6-dichloro-1,4-hydroquinone (D2CHQ), C9H10Cl2O2, C9H8Cl2O and C10H12Cl2O2, were also formed by further chlorination.     

微波-Fenton高级氧化工艺降解水中BPA

Removal of estrogenic activities of bisphenol A and nonylphenol by oxidative enzymes from lignin-degrading basidiomycetes

Bisphenol A (BPA) and nonylphenol (NP) were treated with manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase prepared from the culture of lignin-degrading fungi. Laccase in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT), the so-called laccase-mediator system, was also applied to remove the estrogenic activity. Both chemicals disappeared in the reaction mixture within a 1-h treatment with MnP but the estrogenic activities of BPA and NP still remained 40% and 60% in the reaction mixtures after a 1-h and a 3-h treatment, respectively. Extension of the treatment time to 12 h completed the removal of estrogenic activities of BPA and NP. The laccase has less ability to remove these activities than MnP, but the laccase-HBT system was able to remove the activities in 6 h. A gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis revealed that main reaction products of BPA and NP may be oligomers formed by the action of enzymes. Enzymatic treatments extended to 48 h did not regenerate the estrogenic activities, suggesting that the ligninolytic enzymes are effective for the removal of the estrogenic activities of BPA and NP.     

UV/H2O2降解水中磺胺嘧啶影响因素及机理

利用UV/H2O2光氧化反应器降解水中的磺胺嘧啶,考察了H2O2投量、pH值、紫外功率等因素对去除效果的影响,同时对反应动力学及降解产物进行了分析。结果表明,在紫外辐照与H2O2氧化共同作用下,UV/H2O2降解水中磺胺嘧啶效果显著,去除率达90%以上,其降解过程符合一级反应动力学模型（R2=0.991 2）。H2O2投量与磺胺嘧啶降解速率常数具有良好的线性关系,H2O2投量由0.03增大至1.50 mmol·L-1,反应速率常数由0.048 2增大至0.359 9 min-1;同时,随着紫外灯功率由5增大至15 W,反应速率常数由0.066 2增大至0.163 1 min-1;随着初始磺胺嘧啶浓度由0.02增加至0.08 mmol·L-1,反应速率常数由0.251 7逐渐降低至0.046 8 min-1;pH由3.0升高至7.0,反应速率常数由0.070 2增大至0.102 3 min-1,当pH继续增大时,反应速率常数反而降低。根据液相色谱/质谱（LC/MS）对中间产物分析,UV/H2O2降解磺胺嘧啶生成质荷比（m/z）为173、186和200的对氨基苯磺酸等中间产物,推测S-N键和C-N键被打开,这些中间产物可进一步被降解,但TOC去除率仅为7%,表明磺胺嘧啶仅部分被矿化。UV/H2O2工艺处理磺胺嘧啶的电能效率（EEO）采用每一对数减少级电能输入进行评价,优化条件下电能效率为0.078 kWh·m-3,可为实际工程应用提供参考。     

Degradation of the pharmaceutical metronidazole via UV, Fenton and photo-Fenton processes

Degradation rates and removal efficiencies of Metronidazole using UV, UV/H2O2, H2O2/Fe2+, and UV/H2O2/Fe2+ were studied in de-ionized water. The four different oxidation processes were compared for the removal kinetics of the antimicrobial pharmaceutical Metronidazole. It was found that the degradation of Metronidazole by UV and UV/H2O2 exhibited pseudo-first order reaction kinetics. By applying H2O2/Fe2+, and UV/H2O2/Fe2+ the degradation kinetics followed a second order behavior. The quantum yields for direct photolysis, measured at 254 nm and 200-400 nm, were 0.0033 and 0.0080 mol E(-1), respectively. Increasing the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide promoted the oxidation rate by UV/ H2O2. Adding more ferrous ions enhanced the oxidation rate for the H2O2/Fe2+ and UV/H2O2/Fe2+ processes. The major advantages and disadvantages of each process and the complexity of comparing the various advanced oxidation processes on an equal basis are discussed.

太阳光/CuMnFe LDHs催化剂/过一硫酸盐体系降解双酚A

利用水热法合成了具有高催化活性的CuMnFe三元金属氢氧化物(LDHs)催化剂,确定了最佳的Cu、Mn、Fe摩尔比,通过XRD、XPS、UV-vis DRS、FT-IR、SEM、TEM、BET等方法对催化剂进行了表征,并探究了催化剂投加量、PMS浓度、溶液pH、阴离子的种类和浓度对体系BPA去除的影响,进而通过LC-MS探究了BPA的降解途径与产物。结果表明：在Fe离子摩尔占比为0.29时,LDHs的结晶度最高,且在Cu与Mn摩尔比为1∶1时,1∶1 Cu/Mn-Fe LDHs具有最强的光利用效率和催化活性。在模拟太阳光照射下,在催化剂用量为0.6 g·L⁻¹和PMS投加量为0.4 mmol·L⁻¹时,15 min内对20 mg·L⁻¹的BPA的去除率可达到93.5%。1∶1 Cu/Mn-Fe LDHs具有良好的稳定性和重复利用性,在初始溶液pH 3~11内可保持良好的催化性能,但其催化性能会在pH为 3~5的酸性条件下有所降低,在pH 为3时BPA的去除率仍达79.3%;溶液中的Cl⁻会促进体系对BPA的降解反应,而H₂PO₄⁻、${{\rm{NO}}_3^{-} }$、${{\rm{HCO}}_3^{-}} $会抑制体系对BPA的降解。此外,还分析了水中阴离子浓度对该体系降解BPA的影响,并探究了不同活性成分对降解相对贡献的大小。结果表明,超氧自由基(O₂^·−)和空穴(h⁺)是本反应体系中最主要的活性成分,PMS掠夺自由电子从而大幅促进了h⁺的产生,而LDHs的过渡金属元素会与PMS形成稳定中间体,通过掠夺其他PMS的电子进而激发产生O₂^·−。
