Bismuth molybdate has attracted extensive attention as a visible semiconductor photocatalyst with great application potential, but bismuth molybdate is suffering rapid charge recombination and lower catalytic activity. Therefore, a rod-shaped Bi2MoO6/Bi14MoO24 homoelemental heterojunction was successfully fabricated using hydrothermal treatment and high-temperature calcination combined method. This novel heterojunction shows an excellent photocatalytic activity and good stability. Degradation efficiency of the optimal catalysts is up to 86 % under visible light for 100 min, and remained above 80 % after four cycles. Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) is adopted to further verify faster separation of photogenerated carriers on Bi2MoO6/Bi14MoO24 heterogeneous nanorods. The result of DFT calculations also further proves that Bi2MoO6/Bi14MoO24 homoelemental heterojunction has higher work function and lower Fermi level, which can prolonging photogenerated electrons and holes lifetimes. Free radical capture experiments suggest that super oxide anion (center dot O2-) and hydroxyl (center dot OH) are main active groups during photocatalytic degradation, which is proved by EPR result. Considering this, a possible S-scheme mechanism is proposed to illustrate this enhanced performance. This research enriches heterojunction system and provides a reference for the design of efficient photocatalysts in future.
Rational design of Z-scheme heterojunction is known to be a good strategy for promoting photogenerated charge efficient separation. In this paper, a direct Z-scheme Ag 2 O/Bi 2 MoO 6 heterostructured microspheres with good interfacial properties were successfully prepared by hydrothermal synthesis-coprecipitation-calcination decomposition. Various techniques such as TEM, XPS, and XRD are used to reveal the structure, morphology, composition, electrochemical and optical properties of the target product. The catalytic activity of the as-prepared composites was evaluated by visible light degradation of Rhodamine B(RhB) and transient photocurrent. As expected, the results showed that 1:5 Ag 2 O/Bi 2 MoO 6 exhibited the optimal catalytic performance. And the visible degradation efficiency is up to 86% in 90 min, which was 2.69 times higher than that of Bi 2 MoO 6 (32%).Meanwhile the 1:5 Ag 2 O/Bi 2 MoO 6 exhibited the highest photocurrent efficiency. Meanwhile, the degradation efficiency of Ag 2 O/Bi 2 MoO 6 composites can still maintain more than 90% after four cycles. Its enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the formation of a good interfacial contact between Ag 2 O and Bi 2 MoO 6 , which can effectively promote the photogenerated charge transfer between the two semiconductors. In addition, hole and superoxide and were identified as the main active species and hydroxyl radicals as a secondary active species in the degradation process. Considering this case, a possible degradation pathway for RhB was proposed and discussed. This work may provide a new perspective for the rational design of excellent Bi 2 MoO 6 -based Z-type heterojunctions for environmental remediation.
Traffic activities release large amounts of trace metal(loid)s in urban environments. However, the impact of vehicle operation-associated emissions on trace metal(loid) enrichment in road dust and the potential migration of these trace metal(loid)s to the surrounding environment remain unclear. We evaluated the contamination, sequential fraction, and bioaccessibility of trace metal(loid)s in urban environments by assessing their presence in road dust, garden vegetables, and tree tissues, including bark and aerial roots, at a traffic-training venue impacted by vehicle operation emissions and, finally, calculated the bioaccessibility-based health risk. The results indicated a significant accumulation of trace metal(loid)s in road dust, with the highest lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and antimony (Sb) concentrations in the garage entrance area due to higher vehicle volumes, frequent vehicle starts and stops, and lower speeds. Aerial roots exposed to hill start conditions exhibited the highest Pb, Zn, and Sb levels, potentially caused by high road dust resuspension, confirming that this tree tissue is an appropriate bioindicator. Sequential extraction revealed high percentages of carbonate-, Fe/Mn oxide-, and organic/sulphide-associated fractions of Pb, copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) in road dust, while most Cd, Cr, Ni, and Sb occurred as residual fractions. According to the potential mobilizable fractions in sequential extraction, the in vitro gastrointestinal method could be more suitable than the physiologically based extraction test to evaluate the bioaccessibility-related risk of traffic-impacted road dust. The bioaccessibility-based health risk assessment of the road dust or soil confirmed no concern about noncarcinogenic risk, while the major risk originated from Pb although leaded gasoline was prohibited before the venue establishment. Furthermore, the cancer risks (CRs) analysis showed the probable occurrence of carcinogenic health effects from Cd and Ni to adults and from Cd, Cr, and Ni to children. Furthermore, the Cd and Pb concentrations in the edible leaves of cabbage and radish growing in gardens were higher than the recommended maximum value. This study focused on the health risks of road dust directly impacted by vehicle emissions and provides accurate predictions of trace metal(loid) contamination sources in the urban environment.
The elimination of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) from water has attracted extensive research attention. This study hydrothermally synthesized composite photocatalysts composed of BiVO4 microspheres containing coexisting phases of monoclinic scheelite (M-BiVO4) and tetragonal zircon (T-BiVO4), i.e., MT-BiVO4, loaded onto P-doped g-C3N4 nanosheets (PCNS). Furthermore, their morphology, structure, and photoelectrochemical properties were comprehensively characterized, and the performance and stability of photocatalytic degradation of TC-HCl were examined. Additionally, the effects of humic acid (HA), coexisting anions/cations, and actual water samples on the degradation efficiency of TC-HCl were investigated, and the degradation mechanism and pathways were examined. The findings indicated that the percentage of M-BiVO4 in MT-BiVO4 considerably influences the photocatalytic activity of the composite catalyst. Furthermore, the excellent photocatalytic performance of 5% BVO/PCNS was attributed to the synergistic effects of P-doping the modified g-C3N4, MT-BiVO4 isotype heterojunction effects, and the Z-scheme heterojunction constructed from MT-BiVO4 and PCNS, which can enhance the absorption range of the visible light and accelerate the transfer and separation of charge carriers between catalysts. The free radical capture experiments and electron spin resonance tests indicated that holes and O2- were the dominant active species in the photocatalytic degradation process. With high reusability and stability, the 5% BVO/PCNS composite has great potential for practical wastewater treatment applications. This study offers a new approach for preparing photocatalysts synergized by isotype and Z-scheme heterojunctions.
The problem of environmental pollution caused by the frequent use of antibiotics has attracted extensive attention. The heterojunction composed of various bismuth oxyiodide (such as BiOI, Bi4O5I2, Bi5O7I, etc.) were widely used in the treatment of antibiotic wastewater. Herein, a hollow BiOI/Bi5O7I hierarchical microsphere was constructed in-situ by annealing BiOI precursors synthesized by the solvothermal method. The phase transition temperature for the formation of heterojunctions has been investigated in detail. The obtained products were characterized by various technologies including transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photon-electron spectroscopy (XPS), and so on. Experimental results suggested that 390-BiOI/Bi5O7I microsphere with hollow structure exhibits the optimal performance and maximum photocurrent response under visible light irradiation. The efficiency for degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TH) was up to 83 % in 100 min. The value still maintained at 95 % after the catalyst has been reused for four times. The capture experiment indicates that produced center dot O-2(-) played the most important role. But formed h(+) and center dot OH played a secondary role. The degradation intermediates were analyzed by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). Accordingly, the possible degradation pathways are proposed. An S-scheme based heterostructure photocatalytic mechanism is proposed aiming to explain the enhanced catalytic performance. The BiOI/Bi5O7I heterojunction with exceptional activity and stability is bound to expand applications in the field of water treatment.
Road dust has been severely contaminated by trace metals and has become a major health risk to urban residents. However, there is a lack of information on bioaccessible trace metals in road dust, which is necessary for an accurate health risk assessment. In this study, we collected road dust samples from industrial areas, traffic intersections, and agricultural fields from a megacity (Guangzhou), China, and conducted a geochemical enrichment, speciation, and bioaccessibility-based health risk assessment of trace metals. In comparison with local soil background values, the results revealed a significant accumulation of trace metals, including Zn, Cd, Cu, and Pb in the road dust, which is considered moderate to heavy pollution. Sequential extraction indicated that most trace metals in the road dust were primarily composed of a Fe/Mn oxide-bound fraction, carbonate-bound fraction, and residual fraction, while the dominant fraction was the organic matter-bound fraction of Cu, and the residual fractions of As, Cr, and Ni. The in vitro gastrointestinal (IVG) method revealed that high percentages of Zn, Cd, Cu, and As were bioaccessible, suggesting the possible dissolution of trace metals from adsorbed and carbonate-associated fractions in road dust exposed to the biological fluid matrix. The IVG bioaccessibility-based concentration largely decreased the noncarcinogenic health risk to a negligible level. Nevertheless, the entire population is still exposed to the cumulative probability of a carcinogenic risk, which is primarily contributed to by As, Cd, Cr, and Pb. Future identification of the exact sources of these toxic metals would be helpful for the appropriate management of urban road dust contamination.
Bi2WO6-based heterojunction photocatalyst for antibiotic degradation has been a research hotspot, but its photocatalytic performance needs to be further improved. Therefore, 2D/2D P-doped g-C3N4/Bi2WO6 direct Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts with different composition ratios were prepared through three strategies of phosphorus (P) element doping, morphology regulation, and heterojunction, and the efficiency of its degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) under visible light was studied. Their structural, optical, and electronic properties were evaluated, and their photocatalytic efficiency for TC-HCl degradation was explored with a detailed assessment of the active species, degradation pathways, and effects of humic acid, different anions and cations, and water sources. The 30% P-doped g-C3N4/Bi2WO6 had the best photocatalytic performance for TC-HCl degradation. Its photocatalytic rate was 4.5-, 2.2-, and 1.9-times greater than that of g-C3N4, P-doped g-C3N4, and Bi2WO6, respectively. The improved photocatalytic efficiency was attributed to the synergistic effect of P doping and 2D/2D direct Z-scheme heterojunction construction. The stability and reusability of the 30% P-doped C3N4/Bi2WO6 were confirmed by cyclic degradation experiments. Radical scavenging experiments and electron spin resonance spectroscopy showed that the main active species were •O2− and h+. This work provides a new strategy for the preparation of direct Z-scheme heterojunction catalysts with high catalytic performance.

Developing monitoring system for paper industrial wastewater treatment system is an important route for wastewater reuse and recycling from wastewater, which are regarded as effective way for cleaner production. A novel hybrid deep leaning CLSTMA model, which based on sequential fusion convolutional neural network (CNN), long short term memory (LSTM) and attention mechanism (AM), was developed to monitor the water quality in a full-scale paper industrial wastewater treatment system for energy conservation and emissions reduction. The hybrid CLSTMA model for predicting water quality of paper industrial wastewater treatment system was divided into three steps: spatial information fusion by using CNN module, temporal information fusion by using LSTM module and variable weighted calculation by using AM module. Compare with other models (CNN, LSTM and CLSTM models), RMSE of CLSTMA model for the effluent chemical oxygen demand (CODeff) reduced by 23.3–31.55%, MAE of CLSTMA model reduced by 38.89–74.50%, R of CLSTMA model increased by 8.29–11.86%. For the effluent suspended solids (SSeff), compared with CNN and LSTM models, RMSE of CLSTMA model reduced by 10.26% and 9.92%, MAE of CLSTMA model reduced by 5.37% and 3.44%, R of CLSTMA model increased by 15.13% and 37.21%, respectively. While, R of CLSTMA was consistent with CLSTM model, but RMSE and MAE of CLSTMA model reduced by 16.07% and 7.49% than the CLSTM model. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed CLSTMA model has a great potential in monitoring paper industrial wastewater treatment system for cleaner production.
Spodoptera frugiperda and Rhopalosiphum maidis, as main pests, seriously harm the safety of maize. At present, chemical pesticides are mainly used to control these pests. However, due to residue and resistance problems, more green, environmentally benign, simple preventive control technology is needed. In this study, we reported the reason for the antifeedant activity of azadirachtin on S. frugiperda and proposed that S. frugiperda treated with azadirachtin would turn from pest into natural enemy. S. frugiperda showed an obvious antifeeding phenomenon to maize leaf treated with various azadirachtin concentrations (0.5~20 mg/L). It was found that maize leaf treated with 1 mg/L of azadirachtin has a stimulating effect on the antenna and sensillum basiconicum of S. frugiperda, and azadirachtin can affect the feeding behavior of S. frugiperda. Additionally, after treating maize leaves or maize leaves + R. maidis with 1 mg/L of azadirachtin, the predatory behavior of S. frugiperda changed from a preference for eating maize leaves to R. maidis. Moreover, the molting of R. maidis can promote the change of this predatory behavior. Our results, for the first time, propose that the combined control technology of azadirachtin insecticide and biological control could turn S. frugiperda from pest into natural enemy, which can effectively eliminate R. maidis and protect maize. This combined control technology provides a new way for pest management and has good ecological, environmental, and economic benefits.

An integrated OCO reactor was used to investigate the performance and microbial community successional changes under long-term exposure to relatively low levels of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). Relatively higher concentrations of ZnO NPs (1.5 mg L-1) could adversely affect the nitrogen and phosphorus removal in the reactor. The diversity and richness of the microbial communities chronically declined with an increasing concentration of ZnO NPs higher than 1.5 mg L-1. With the elevated ZnO NPs, the phyla abundances of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria decreased slightly, whereas those of Bacteroidetes and Acidobacteria increased. Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria were the predominant phyla in each phase (with a variation in abundance), together with some common taxa responses to ZnO NP stress as revealed by Venn diagram analysis. Some genera associated with the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus, such as Acinetobacter, Stenotrophomonas and Pseudomonas, decreased significantly. The present results are significant for expanding our understanding of the functional performance and microbial community successions of activated sludge which has experienced long-term exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of ZnO NPs.
The strain TZ-1 was screened from five isolates from soil sample of oil shale exploration area in Maoming by comparing the data of zinc removal percentage at pH 7.0 and 30 degrees C with initial Zn2+ concentration of 2 mmol/L in nutrient broth and MICs. The isolate TZ-1 was identified as Burkholderia sp. based on its morphological, physiological-biochemical characteristics and the 16S rDNA sequence. The initial Zn2+ concentration of 16 mmol/L in nutrient broth inhibited the growth of TZ-1 obviously. The maximum zinc removal percentage of TZ-1 was up to 67.83% with the initial zinc concentration of 8 mmol/L in the broth. The results of heavy metals affecting Zn2+ adsorption indicated that Zn2+ removal was increased when other heavy metals existed in the broth. The surface characterization of the adsorbent was done through FTIR. The results suggest that the hydroxyl, carboxyl, amine and phosphate groups of biomass surface play a vital role in Zn2+ adsorption. The biosorption process conforms Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and can be described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The data of application in wastewater treatment indicate that the strain TZ-1 is suitable for wastewater purification.
