    Abstract This study investigated the impacts of light irradiation and polymer types on the leaching behavior of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from microplastics (MPs) in freshwater. Polypropylene had the highest leaching capacity of DOM after photoaging, followed by polystyrene (PS), polyamide (PA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). While similarly low levels of DOM were observed in the remaining 5 MP suspensions under UV irradiation and in almost all MP suspensions (except PA) under darkness. These suggest that the photooxidation of some buoyant plastics may influence the carbon cycling of nature waters. Among 9 MP-derived leachates, PET leachates had the highest chromophoric DOM concentration and aromaticity, probably owing to the special benzene rings and carbonyl groups in PET structures and its fast degradation rate. Protein-like substances were the primary fluorescent DOM in MP suspensions (except PS), especially in darkness no other fluorescent substances were found. Considering the bio-labile properties of proteins together, MPs regardless of floating or suspended in an aquatic environment may have prevalent long-term effects on microbial activities. Besides, from monomers to hexamers with newly formed chemical bonds were identified in UV-irradiated MP suspensions. These results will contribute to a deep insight into the potential ecological effects related to MP degradation.

    Abstract Highly efficient oxidation, as non-thermal regeneration technology, is a promising method to solve the regeneration problem of spent activated carbon (AC) in wastewater treatment. In this study, FeOCl was confined into activated carbon (FeOCl/AC) for catalytic oxidation of contaminants on AC during the regeneration process. The characterization results of FeOCl/AC showed that amorphous FeOCl was distributed in micropores, mesopores and macropores of AC. The methylene blue (MB)-adsorbed FeOCl/AC had a regeneration efficiency of 93.7 % at neutral pH in the presence of H₂O₂, much higher than 46.9 % by Fenton oxidation and 33.7 % by H₂O₂ oxidation. Meanwhile, the spent FeOCl/AC after the adsorption of atrazine, 2,4-dichlorophenol, and ofloxacin had the regeneration efficiencies of 71.5 %, 86.4 %, and 100 %, respectively. Moreover, the regeneration efficiency still reached 87 % in the fifth adsorption-regeneration cycle, and was linearly decreased with the increase of adsorbed amounts of MB. During 6 h regeneration of spent FeOCl/AC, 97 % of adsorbed MB was degraded. Electron paramagnetic resonance and radical trapping experiments indicated that both superoxide and hydroxyl radicals were involved in MB oxidation during the regeneration process.

    Abstract Antibiotics are widespread in the environment with notable ecological risk, for which efficient and green removal technologies are demanded. As a kind of g–C₃N₄–based material with remarkable photocatalytic property, OCN is an oxygen- and nitrogen-linked carbon nitride organic polymer which can be synthesized through a single-step thermal polymerization method. In this study, OCN was applied for the visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of a typical fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics enrofloxacin (ENR). The photocatalysis process achieved over 97% ENR removal within 60 min with 0.4 mg/L OCN and 4 mg/L ENR at pH 8.2. The photocatalytic mechanism of OCN at different pH was studied for the first time. It was shown that O2⋅−, ¹O₂ and h⁺ made contributions at neutral or basic pH and ¹O₂ contributes the most (57.6% at pH 8.2), while ⋅OH played a role only under acidic condition with a contribution rate of 23.8% at pH 3.2. The cleavage of the piperazine ring and the quinolone ring were two main degradation pathways. The common water constituents humic acid and NO₃⁻ showed a dual effect, but HCO₃⁻ and Cl⁻ inhibited the degradation. The effect of different water matrices was tested under natural sunlight and it was only a tiny disturbance to the degradation rates. The biotoxicity test conducted using Vibrio fischeri indicated that the toxicity of degradation products became negligible after 3 h. This study demonstrated that OCN is a promising candidate for the advanced treatment and in-situ remediation.

    Abstract Notable differences in photo-physical and chemical properties were found between bulk water and solid phase extraction (SPE) isolates for dissolved organic matter (DOM). The moieties extracted using modified styrene divinylbenzene cartridges, which predominantly consist of conjugated aromatic molecules like humic acids, contribute mainly to light absorption but exhibit lower quantum yields of fluorescence and photo-produced reactive intermediates (PPRIs). Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) revealed lignin as the moieties displaying most significant variance in abundance. In Van Krevelen-Spearman plot, we observed molecules positively or negatively correlated with DOM's optical and photochemical properties (including SUVA

    Abstract Photocatalytic degradation of typical pharmaceuticals in natural sunlight and in actual water is of great significance. In this study, the oxygen or nitrogen linked heptazine-base polymer (ONLH) was successfully incorporated with TiO₂ nanoparticles and formed a TiO₂/ONLH nanocomposite which was responded to the natural sunlight. Under natural sunlight, the TiO₂/ONLH can effectively degrade ten types of pharmaceuticals. In particular, fluoroquinolone containing N-piperazinyl, and cardiovascular drugs containing long aromatic side chains were easily degraded. The half-life of the best degradation performance of propranolol was less than 5 min. The rate constants of propranolol using the TiO₂/ONLH were approximately six- and eight-fold higher than those of pristine TiO₂ and ONLH, respectively. Two reactive species (OH and O₂⁻) facilitated the rapid degradation of propranolol, which occurred primarily through the hydroxyl radical addition, ring-opening, and ipso substitution reactions. An acute toxicity test using luminescent bacteria indicated that the toxicity of the propranolol reaction solution gradually decreased with lower total organic carbon (TOC). According to the toxicity evaluation of monomer products, the TiO₂/ONLH also reduced the generation of toxic transformation products. The effects of actual water/wastewater have further shown the TiO₂/ONLH might be applied for the removal of pharmaceuticals in wastewater.
