Quinoline is one of the common refractory organic pollutants in coking wastewater. An aerobic bacterial strain KDQ3 capable of utilizing quinoline as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy was isolated from activated sludge of a coking wastewater treatment plant. The morphological properties and the 16S rDNA sequence identified KDQ3 as sp.. The optimized temperature and initial pH for quinoline degradation were 37℃ and 7.0-8.0, and the degradation kinetics fit with Haldane's model. KDQ3 could degrade 200 mg·L quinoline in the presence of 10.4 mg·L hexavalent chromium. In addition, KDQ3 was able to degrade quinoline in real coking wastewater of aerobic tank and improve the removal of COD, indicating that KDQ3 had the potential of bioaugmentation for removal of quinoline from coking wastewater.

Interfacial solar vapor generation (ISVG) accompanied by photocatalytic degradation holds immense potential to mitigate water scarcity and pollution. Distinct from the two detached functional components (photothermal agent and photocatalyst) in a conventional evaporator, in this study, an all-in-one photothermal/catalytic agent, nitrogen-containing honeycomb carbon nanosheets (NHC), was engineered for synergistic high-efficiency steam generation and photocatalysis functions. It was demonstrated that the superoxide radical generated on the surface of NHC conferred its catalytic activity to the photodegradation of organic pollutants under full solar spectrum irradiation.

Phenolic compounds are an extensive group of natural and anthropogenic organic substances of the aromatic series containing one or more hydroxyl groups. The main sources of phenols entering the environment are waste from metallurgy and coke plants, enterprises of the leather, furniture, and pulp and paper industries, as well as wastewater from the production of phenol-formaldehyde resins, adhesives, plastics, and pesticides. Among this group of compounds, phenol is the most common environmental pollutant.

Electrochemical oxidation via in situ-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) is effective for the mineralization of refractory organic pollutants. However, the oxidation performance is usually limited by the low yield and utilization efficiency of ROS. Herein, a B/N-doped diamond (BND) flow-through electrode with enhanced SO/OH generation and utilization was designed for electrochemical oxidation of organic pollutants in sulfate solution.

High-temperature wastewaters can themselves activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) to remove aromatic contaminants via polymerization. This, however, may result in an insufficient carbon source for denitrification during biochemical treatment, and the formed polymers, without a proper reuse method, will be costly to handle as hazardous waste. This study demonstrates that the addition of NaOH can suppress the polymerization of aromatic contaminants, which is observed not only in simulated wastewater but also in actual coking wastewater (ACW).

The peroxone reaction, a promising alternative technology for water treatment, is traditionally hampered by its restricted pH operational range and suboptimal oxidant utilization. In this study, we introduced a novel amphoteric metal oxide (ZnO)-regulated peroxone system that transcended the pH limitations of conventional peroxone processes. Our innovative approach exploited the unique properties of ZnO to regulate the reaction pathway of the traditional O/HO (or peroxymonosulfate, PMS) processes, resulting in a 52.
