Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) with a biocathode could provide extra reaction driving force for gaseous chlorobenzene (CB) removal. In this work, external potentials (-0.1 to -0.7 V vs. SHE) were applied to regulate the biocathodic activity. Results showed -0.3 V was the optimum potential, while the removal efficiency, dechlorination efficiency and Coulombic efficiency achieved 94%, 65%, and 89%, respectively. Electrochemical stimulation enriched dechlorination microorganisms (Achromobacter and Gordonia), and significantly improved CB mineralization efficiency, which was twice higher than that without additional potential at 300 mg m inlet concentration. Furthermore, electron transfer between biocathode and microorganisms was mainly through direct electron transfer (DET). A new integrated redox pathway for CB anaerobic degradation was proposed, in which CB was sequentially converted into 2-chlorophenol and 3-chlorocatechol, then dechlorinated to catechol, and finally mineralized into CO. Overall, this work provided an insight into gaseous CB bioelectrochemical degradation through the potential regulation.

Porous graphitized carbon (PGC)-supported CoFeO bimetallic catalysts (CoFeO/PGC) were prepared by a hydrothermal method using Fe(NO)·9HO and Co(NO)·6HO as precursors and were used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of chlorobenzene (CB). Under the conditions of CoFeO/PGC catalysts and PMS concentrations of 0.1 g/L and 5 mM, respectively, in a wide range of pH (5.

Chlorobenzene (CB) oxidation using commercial selective catalytic reduction catalysts as a co-benefit of nitrogen oxides (NO) elimination in terms of the synergic temperature window and polychlorinated byproducts formation was unsatisfactory. Herein, antimony (Sb) was loaded onto VO-MoO/TiO (VMoTi) to enhance its performance for CB oxidation as a co-benefit of NO elimination, and the promotion mechanism of CB oxidation by Sb loading was investigated. CB oxidation rates of VMoTi and Sb/VMoTi relied on their oxidizing abilities and their numbers of V ions, adsorbed CB, gaseous CB, lattice oxygen, and adsorbed oxygen.

The design of a catalyst with multifunctional sites is one of the effective methods for low-temperature catalytic oxidation of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs). The loss of redox sites and competitive adsorption of HO prevalent in the treatment of industrial exhaust gases are the main reasons for the weak mineralization ability and poor water vapor resistance of V-based catalysts. In this work, platinum (Pt) is selected to combine with the V/CeO catalyst, which provides more redox sites and HO dissociative activation sites and further enhances its catalytic performance.

There is an urgent need to develop novel and high-performance catalysts for chlorinated volatile organic compound oxidation as a co-benefit of NO. In this work, HSiW/CeO was used for chlorobenzene (CB) oxidation as a co-benefit of NO reduction and the inhibition mechanism of NH was explored. CB oxidation over HSiW/CeO primarily followed the Mars-van-Krevelen mechanism and the Eley-Rideal mechanism, and the CB oxidation rate was influenced by the concentrations of surface adsorbed CB, Ce ions, lattice oxygen species, gaseous CB, and surface adsorbed oxygen species.

Achieving no or low polychlorinated byproduct selectivity is essential for the chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) degradation, and the positive roles of water vapor may contribute to this goal. Herein, the oxidation behaviors of chlorobenzene over typical Mn-based catalysts (MnO and acid-modified MnO) under dry and humid conditions were fully explored. The results showed that the presence of water vapor significantly facilitates the deep mineralization of chlorobenzene and restrains the formation of Cl and dichlorobenzene.
