Fe(VI) has received increasing attention since it can decompose a wide range of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) in water treatment. However, the role short-lived Fe(IV) and Fe(V) TrOC decomposition by been overlooked. Using methyl phenyl sulfoxide (PMSO), carbamazepine, caffeine as probe TrOCs, we observed that apparent second-order rate constants (kapp) between TrOCs determined with initial kinetics data were strongly dependent on molar ratios to Fe(VI). Furthermore, kapp value increases...

Complete dechlorination and mineralization of chlorophenols via the reduction–oxidation-mediated electro-Fenton process with a composite bulk cathode is first proposed. The in situ formation PdFe nanoalloy carbon defects as key active sites mutually induced during aerogel-based electrode. Specifically, promotes generation [H]ads reduction improves electron transfer an electrical circuit, while selectively favor 2e– oxygen pathway. Notably, this work implies novel electrocatalytic model for...

The regeneration rate of Fe2+ from Fe3+ dictates the performance electro-Fenton (EF) process, represented by amount produced hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Current strategies for acceleration normally require additional chemical reagents, to vary redox potential Fe2+/Fe3+. Here, we report an attempt at using intrinsic property electrode our advantage, i.e., nitrogen-doped carbon aerogel (NDCA), as a reducing agent without foreign reagents. Moreover, pyrrolic N in NDCA provides unpaired electrons...

Haloacetamides (HAcAms) are an emerging class of nitrogenous disinfection byproducts (N-DBPs). However, there is a limited understanding about the precursors HAcAms. In this study, we screened dichloroacetamide (DCAcAm), most commonly identified HAcAm in chlorinated or chloraminated drinking water. DCAcAm formation potential (FP) raw water samples collected different months from reservoir China was determined during chlorination, and highest FP typically occurred summer samples. Dissolved...

Haloacetamides (HAcAms), an emerging class of nitrogen-based disinfection byproducts (N-DBPs) health concern in drinking water, have been found waters at μg/L levels. However, there is a limited understanding about the formation, speciation, and control halogenated HAcAms. Higher ultraviolet (UV) doses UV advanced oxidation (UV/H2O2) processes (AOPs) are under consideration for treatment trace organic pollutants. The objective this study was to examine potential pretreatment with...
