Preliminarily Comparative Performance of Removing Bisphenol-S by Ferrate Oxidation and Ozonation ✉ Shaoqing Zhang 1, Jia-Qian Jiang 1 and Michael Petri2 www.nature.com/npjcleanwater BRIEF COMMUNICATION OPEN Preliminarily comparative performance of removing bisphenol-S by ferrate oxidation and ozonation ✉ Shaoqing Zhang 1, Jia-Qian Jiang 1 and Michael Petri2 Bisphenol-S (BS) has recently raised public concerns for its adverse effect on the health safety and ecological security. BS concentrations were detected in many water resources, ranging from 10 ng L−1 to 300 μgL−1, so that various purification techniques have been sought to remove BS. This study investigated the performance of ozonation and ferrate oxidation in the degradation of BS since they are both promising oxidants with high redox potential among water treatment chemicals. It was observed that both ozone and ferrate can achieve over 99% of BS concentration reduction and up to 22.5% of DOC reduction for dosing 0.036 mM of either ferrate or ozone. The vibrio fisheri toxicity exhibited a decline in the treated samples after ozonation or ferrate oxidation. According to the mass spectra analyzed, the degradation pathways were proposed and oxidation products (OPs) were identified. BS degradation by ozonation and ferrate oxidation followed a similar route and four common OPs (OP-249; OP-497- a; OP-497-b, and OP-201) were detected. While ferrate treatment produced one more intermediate (OP-217), ozonation did not, which is attributed to the intensified decomposition of BS by ozonation. The major impact of this study is that ferrate treatment is comparable to the ozonation in removing BS, and further research continuing from this study is necessary to explore the BS removal in various waters with more complex matrixes (e.g., high natural organic matter contents), to investigate BS degradation mechanisms in depth, and to conduct pilot-scale and full-scale trials to establish operational database in running ferrate oxidation 1234567890():,; and/or ozonation for the treatment of BS in practical world. npj Clean Water (2021) 4:1 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41545-020-00095-x INTRODUCTION homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical oxidation techniques Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have received major public have been tested including the activated persulfate with concerns in terms of their adverse effects on the water quality and CuCo2SO4 and permanganate coupled with iodide, which all public health. For human population exposed to EDCs, many show the acceptable performance in the removal of BS but with 15–17 endocrine-related diseases and disorders have been reported, for limitations . And then, the alternative treatment technologies example, the incidence of genital malformations has increased are still sought to tackle the BS pollution issues. over time at an unexpectedly high rate1,2. Bisphenol-A was once Ferrate (Fe(VI)) is a promising cleaning chemical for water and world widely used in industry but after its reorganization as one of waste water treatment, which predominantly attributed to its high EDCs, it has been phased out in the commercial use. Bisphenol-S oxidation capacity and coagulation function after its rapid 18–20 (BS, or 4,4-sulfonyldiphenol) is then regarded as a safe replace- decomposition and dissociation in water . The ferrate treat- ment to bisphenol-A due to its higher thermal stability and ment is highly recommended due to its less adverse effect on proposed high biodegradability3–5, and has been widely used in human and ecosystems18,21, and has been studied to clean the the production of epoxy resins and also used as a chemical H2S odor, remove turbidity, color and heavy metals and to additive to produce colourfast agents, leather tanning agent, dye inactivate lethal bacteria22,23. Currently, the water treatment by dispersants and fiber improvers6. However, based on fatal mouse ferrate is receiving more attention at the prospect of removing tests, recent researches showed that BS exhibits high endocrine residuals of pharmaceuticals, EDCs and personal care products in negative effect on human and aquatic species and the studies water and waste water effluents18,19,24. suggested that BS possesses higher toxicity than bisphenol-A and On the other hand, ozone is acknowledged as a strong reagent other bisphenol analogs3,4,7,8. In addition, BS concentrations were applied in water treatment25, which has greater oxidation capacity detected in a range from 10 ng L−1 to 300 μgL−1 in many water than permanganate, chlorine dioxide, chlorine gas, oxygen and resources including raw water and waste water effluent9–11, which hypochlorite26,27. As an oxidant in water treatment, ozone not only has caused concerns on the BS adverse effects on the aquatic plays main role in disinfection27, but can react with unsaturated environment and human health. bonds and aromatic and amino groups and then degrade various Several cleaning techniques have been tested for the removal organics27,28. The mechanism of ozonation is the formation of various of BS. For example, the activated sludge reactor and constructed reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals when ozone is wetland have shown high efficiency of removing BS but their decomposed, which hold fairly high redox potentials, especially the performance was uncontrollable due to varying metabolisms hydroxyl radical can exert maximum redox potential of 2800 mV27. when the ambient conditions changed12,13.

The influences of some important operating parameters, which are the initial pH, the concentration of potassium ferrate(VI) (K 2 FeO 4) and the RO 16 dye, and ultrasonic density (for only the sono-ferrate(VI) method), on the color removal have −1 been investigated. The optimum conditions have been determined as pH = 7 and [K 2 FeO 4 ] = 50 mg L for the −1 −1 individual ferrate(VI) oxidation method and pH = 7 and [K 2 FeO 4 ] = 50 mg L by direct sonication at 0.50 W mL ultrasonic density and 20 kHz fixed frequency for the sono-ferrate(VI) method. The color removal efficiencies were 85% by ferrate(VI) method and 91% by sono-ferrate(VI) method. Kinetic studies were also performed for the decolorization of RO 16 under the optimized conditions at room temperature. It was seen that the oxidative decolorization of RO 16 via the sono-ferrate(VI) method happened more rapidly because of the production of OH • radical through sonication compared to the individual ferrate(VI) method.

Fe(OH) is oxidized to Fe04 by hypo- chlorite in very concentrated NaOH solution. After removal of unwanted material by filtration, .2FeO is precipitated by the addition of solid KOH and purified by one reprecipitation from saturated KOH solution. Final washing is accomplished with 95 alcohol and then ethei. The over-all reaction is 2 Fe(OH)3 4 3 C10 + 4 0H 2 Fe04 + 3 C1 + 5 1120 It is very probable that the ferrite ion is formed as an intermediate. Analysis of the product disclosed the presence of J2C0 as the main impurity. No chloride could be detected. An undesirable iron comound (or compounds) was also found to be present to a very small extent. Assu1ing this to be Fe203, the sample had the following composition by weight: 96.9 K2FeO4, 2.9 K2CO3, and O.2 Fe003. The unwanted iron constituent is undoubtedly a deomposition product of the 2FeO4. A modified Gouy magnetic balance using a Christian- Becker micro-analybical balance was employed to determine the molar magnetic susceptibility, )'-, of the sample. e system was calibrated with a standardized aqueou; solution containing approximately 3O NiC10.

  • Chitosan Encapsulation of Ferratevi for Controlled Release to Water
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Chitosan Encapsulation of FerrateVI for Controlled Release to Water:Mechanistic Insights and Degradation of Organic Contaminant Bo-Yen Chen1, Hsuen-Wen Kuo1, Virender K. Sharma 2 & Walter Den3* VI 2− VI Tetraoxy-anion of iron in +6 oxidation state (Fe O4 , Fe ), commonly called ferrate, has shown tremendous potential as a green oxidative agent for decontaminating water and air. Encapsulation of solid potassium salt of ferrate (K2FeO4) circumvents the inherent drawbacks of the instability of ferrate under humid conditions. In the encapsulated strategy, controlled release without exposing the solid ferrate to the humid environment avoids self-decomposition of the oxidant by water in the air, and the ferrate is mostly used to decontaminate water efciently. This study demonstrated the formulation of oxidative microcapsules with natural materials present in chitosan, whose release rate of the core material can be controlled by the type of intermediate hydrocarbon layer and the pH-dependent swelling of chitosan shell. The pH played a pivotal role in swelling chitosan shell and releasing the core oxidant. In a strong acidic solution, chitosan tended to swell quickly and release FeVI at a faster rate than under neutral conditions. Additionally, among the several long-chain hydrocarbon compounds, oleic acid exhibited the strongest “locking” efect when applied as the intermediate layer, giving rise to the slow release of FeVI. Coconut oil and mineral oil, in comparison, allowed FeVI to penetrate the layer within shorter lengths of time and showed comparable degrees of degradation of target contaminant, methylene orange, under ambient temperature and near-neutral conditions.

Academic Editors: Suresh Bhargava and Rahul Ram Received: 31 July 2015 / Accepted: 18 September 2015 / Published: 24 September 2015 Abstract: Potassium ferrate (K2FeO4) is a multi-functional green reagent for water treatment with considerable combined effectiveness in oxidization, disinfection, coagulation, sterilization, adsorption, and deodorization, producing environment friendly Fe(III) end-products during the reactions. This study uses a simple method to lower Fe(VI) preparation cost by recycling iron from a spent steel pickling liquid as an iron source for preparing potassium ferrate with a wet oxidation method. The recycled iron is in powder form of ferrous (93%) and ferric chlorides (7%), as determined by X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectrum (XANES) simulation. The synthesis method involves three steps, namely, oxidation of ferrous/ferric ions to form ferrate with NaOCl under alkaline conditions, substitution of sodium with potassium to form potassium ferrate, and continuously washing impurities with various organic solvents off the in-house ferrate. Characterization of the in-house product with various instruments, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), proves that product quality and purity are comparative to a commercialized one.
