Formation of chloroarenes upon gas-phase pyrolysis and slow combustion of benzene-HCl mixtures

Pyrolysis (800–900°C, ca. 5 s) of benzene/HC1 mixtures leads to chlorobenzene (1) even in a reducing environment of H₂ and/or CH₄. With added oxygen, 1 is formed even at 550°C; such slow combustions also yield chlorinated phenols and dibenzofurans.     

Degradation of diuron by the electro-Fenton process

The degradation of the herbicide diuron has been undertaken by electrochemical advanced oxidation in aqueous solution. This process generates catalytically hydroxyl radicals that are strong oxidizing reagents for the oxidation of organic substances. Hydroxyl radicals degrade diuron in less than 10 min. Kinetic results evidence a pseudo-first-order degradation, with a rate constant of reaction between diuron and hydroxyl radicals of 4.8x10⁹ M^–1 s^–1. Several degradation products were identified by chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The mineralization degree of a 1.7x10^–4 M diuron solution reached 93% at 1,000 coulombs.     

Removal of organophosphorus pesticides from water by electrogenerated Fenton's reagent

Aqueous solutions of organophosphorus pesticides were completely mineralized via in-situ generated hydroxyl radicals (HO^·) by the Electro-Fenton process. Formation of Fenton's reagent (H₂O₂, Fe²⁺) was carried out by simultaneous reduction of O₂ and Fe³⁺ on carbon cathode in acidic medium. The electrochemistry combined with Fenton's reagent provides an excellent way to continuously produce the hydroxyl radical, a powerful oxidant. We demonstrate the efficiency of the Electro-Fenton process to degrade three organophosphorus insecticides: malathion, parathion ethyl and tetra-ethyl-pyrophosphate (TEPP). Degradation kinetics and removals of chemical oxygen demand (COD) have been investigated. Here we show that the mineralization efficiency was over 80% for three organophosphorus pesticides.     

Degradation of carbendazim by UV/H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> investigated by kinetic modelling

The transformation of the fungicide carbendazim (methyl-2 benzimidazole carbamate) induced by hydroxyl radical generated by the UV photolysis of H₂O₂ has been studied in dilute aqueous solution. The efficient reaction of hydroxyl radicals with carbendazim led to the rapid degradation of carbendazim. The study of reaction kinetics yielded a second order rate constant of 2.2±0.3 10⁹ M⁻¹ s⁻¹ for HO^· radicals with carbendazim. This value is in agreement with a high reactivity of HO^· radicals with carbendazim. Most degradation products were identified by high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). In the presence of hydrogenocarbonate and carbonate ions, hydroxyl radicals were quenched and in turn carbonate radicals CO₃ ^·− were formed. Carbonate radicals are indeed known to react efficiently with compounds containing electron-rich sites such as nitrogen or sulfur atoms. The use of a kinetic modelling software gave evidence for the occurrence of such reactions with carbendazim. The second order rate constant of carbonate radical with carbendazim was equal to 6±2 10⁶ M⁻¹ s⁻¹. Electronic Publication

优化SO4-·高级氧化技术修复PAHs复合污染土壤

采用硫酸根自由基高级氧化技术（SR-AOPs）修复南京某炼钢厂附近PAHs复合土壤,通过调整过硫酸钠（Na2S2O8）和亚铁离子（Fe²⁺）比例,结合添加不同种类和浓度的螯合剂和表面活性剂,获得修复的最佳条件,并比较分析不同类型PAHs的降解特征.结果表明：Na₂S₂O₈和Fe²⁺的配比显著影响土壤PAHs的降解效果,当Na₂S₂O₈用量为5mmol/g,Fe²⁺用量为0.5mmol/g,二者比例为10：1时,培养24h,PAHs总去除率最高,为29.32%;在此基础上添加螯合剂柠檬酸0.5mmol/g时,PAHs总去除率可提高至49.9%;继续添加0.27mg/g表面活性剂IGEPAL CA-720,PAHs总去除率最大,为80.8%.分析不同条件下SR-AOPs对PAHs的降解效果,得到总体上SR-AOPs对四环PAHs去除效果最好.添加柠檬酸和IGEPAL CA-720可以进一步强化对土壤中3环、6环PAHs的去除.柠檬酸和IGEPAL CA-720的添加可以更有效去除污染土壤中PAHs,尤其是针对高环PAHs.     

Fe (II)活化过硫酸盐处理喹啉工艺参数优化及生物毒性

以喹啉为处理目标物,采用Fe²⁺活化K₂S₂O₈（PS）的高级氧化体系在不同环境因素下降解喹啉.结果表明：与单一PS体系和Fe²⁺体系相比,Fe²⁺/PS体系可以有效降解喹啉.在初始喹啉浓度为250mg/L,喹啉/PS物质的量比为1：10,PS/Fe²⁺物质的量比为3,初始pH3,反应温度为45℃,反应时间为80min的条件下,喹啉降解率可达100%.提高PS和Fe²⁺浓度均能有效提高喹啉降解率,但超过一定限值后对喹啉去除效果不明显.Fe²⁺/PS去除喹啉的过程符合一级反应动力学.溶液初始pH值越高,喹啉去除率越低;反应温度越高,喹啉去除率越高.自由基淬灭实验证实,Fe²⁺活化PS体系中有SO₄^-·和OH·的存在,其中由SO₄^-·产生的OH·对喹啉的降解占主导地位.通过GC/MS检测到2种中间产物8-羟基喹啉和2（1H）-喹啉酮,据此推测基于硫酸根自由基强化喹啉降解的可能路径.大肠杆菌急性毒性实验结果证实,虽然Fe²⁺/PS体系去除喹啉过程中产生了毒性更强的中间产物,但酸性条件和较高的反应温度有利于体系脱毒.     

烟梗生物炭持久性自由基反应活性的比较

本研究选用不同热解温度（300,500和700℃）制备的烟梗生物炭,与有机污染物对硝基苯酚（PNP）进行吸附降解反应,探究反应前后烟梗生物炭上持久性自由基（EPFRs）信号强度与其降解有机污染物活性的关系.结果显示：生物炭中EPFRs信号强度随热解温度的升高而从6.155×10⁴升高至1.343×10⁵后降低至5.458×10⁴,而PNP的液相降解率则表现为随热解温度的升高先保持为31%左右不变后下降至14.64%,表明生物炭的EPFRs信号强度与活性并不成正比.300℃热解制备的生物炭中以氧为中心的自由基可以将电子转移给水中的氧分子生成活性氧并促进PNP的降解.而500与700℃热解制备的生物炭中碳为中心的自由基与污染物进行降解反应后生成了新的自由基并被稳定于生物炭表面,导致其自由基信号增强降解活性却大幅下降.
