Article Abstract
Biochar was used as a heterogeneous activator for peroxymonosulfate (PMS), and the activation performance strongly depended on the structure, functional groups, and modification of the biochar. In this study, a new type of modified biochar was synthesized by utilizing the Mn(II) adsorption capacity of bacteria. After one-step pyrolysis of Mn(II)-adsorbed bacterial cells at 800 °C, a Mn-incorporated bacterial-derived biochar (Mn-BBC) was successfully produced. It exhibited structural heterogeneity, with MnO located at the surface of the BBC matrix, as shown on the result of SEM and XRD. Compared to BBC, Mn-BBC showed a 10-fold increase (0.0727 min versus 0.0069 min) of pollutant removal rate. In addition, it also showed anti-interference capacity against common water matrix (except 10 mM CO) and great stability/reusability. Chemical quenching, electron spin resonance, and pyrophosphate trapping indicated an indirect but important role of the superoxide, formed during the self-decomposition of PMS. The MnO on Mn-BBC can be oxidized by superoxide to produce surface Mn(III), which then binds to PMS and forms a surface complex. This complex promotes electron transfer from the pollutant to the Mn-BBC, facilitating the oxidation of the contaminants. Overall, this study confirmed the PMS activation capacity and mechanism of Mn-BBC, which expands the application of BBC-based materials derived from metal-adsorbed microbes.

As emerging contaminants, antibiotic-resistant bacteria （ARBs） and antibiotic-resistant genes （ARGs） pose a serious threat to human health and ecological security. Here, a reduced graphene oxide and g-CN co-doped copper ferrite （rGO-CNCF） were synthesized. The composite material was characterized using XRD, FTIR, XPS, SEM-EDS, TEM, and DRS analysis methods, and a visible-light-assisted rGO-CNCF-activated PMS system was constructed for the removal of ARB and ARGs in water.

Phenylarsonic acid (PAA) compounds, widely used in animal husbandry, pose a considerable environmental threat owing to their potential transformation into toxic inorganic arsenic species. To efficiently decontaminate PAA and adsorb secondary As(V), a hybrid CuFeO-modified carbon nanotube (CuFeO-CNT) filter was developed in this study. The hybrid CuFeO-CNT filter functioned as an effective catalyst, convective filtration medium, electrode, and adsorbent.

In subsurface water, humic acid (HA) can react with active chlorine to form carcinogenic compounds, posing ecological issues and health risks. This study aims to create sludge activated carbon (SAC), combine it with Fe, and activate peroxosulfate (PMS) to remove HA from water. To verify the successful modification of SAC, the physicochemical properties were characterized using various methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Advanced oxidation processes employing peroxymonosulfate (PMS) show significant promise for wastewater treatment. However, PMS activation typically relies on energy- and chemically intensive techniques due to its relatively low reactivity. Hence, the exploration of novel and energy-efficient approaches, such as the piezoelectric effect, for PMS activation is of paramount importance.

Selective conversion of organic pollutants in wastewater into value-added chemicals is a promising strategy for sustainable water management. Electrochemical processes offer attractive features of precise control over reaction pathway to achieve desired products, however, the traditional anode-mediated processes still face challenges of over-oxidation by the inevitably formed of hydroxyl radical (HO). Herein, we proposed a new cathode-mediated approach for selective conversion of phenol to p-benzoquinone (p-BQ) through peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation.
