RESUMEN
Massive anions in high saline wastewater are primary factors that restricted the efficiency of pollutant degradation in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Herein, we reported the influence laws of different anions at high concentration on the electron-transfer process in the activation of persulfate, and especially, the sulfate anion exhibited the excellent promotion effect. Depending on the ionic charge, polarizability, and size, the anions exerted diverse effects on the dispersed phase and zeta potential of carbonaceous catalysts, which further embodied in the removal of pollutants. Based on the differences of reaction rate constant in water solution and high saline solution, the order was ClO4- < NO3- < Cl- < SO42- < CO32-, obeying the Hofmeister series. The enhancement of the sulfate anion was widely confirmed with different carbonaceous catalysts and pollutants with various structures. It could be attributed to the higher oxidation capacity, the faster interfacial electron transfer, and the better catalyst dispersion in the high sulfate environment. On the other hand, the decrease of zeta potential of the catalyst induced by sulfate reinforced the electrostatic attraction or repulsion with pollutants, which caused the selectivity of the sulfate promotion effect. Overall, this study provides new insights into the mechanism of influence of anions on AOPs, which refreshed the cognition of the role of sulfate on pollutant degradation, and helps guide the treatment design of high salinity wastewater.

Chloride ion (Cl-) is one of the most common anions in wastewater and saline wastewater, but its elusive effects on organics degradation are not clear yet in many cases. In this paper, the effect of Cl- on organic compounds degradation is intensively studied in catalytic ozonation of different water matrix. It was found that the effect of Cl- is almost completely reflected by transforming ·OH to reactive chlorine species (RCS), which is simultaneously competitive with organics degradation. The competition between organics and Cl- for ·OH directly determines the ratio of their consumption rate of ·OH, which depends on their concentration and reactivity with ·OH. Especially, the concentration of organics and solution pH may change greatly during organics degradation process, which will correspondingly influence the transformation rate of ·OH to RCS. Therefore, the effect of Cl- on organics degradation is not immutable, and may dynamically change. As the reaction product between Cl- and ·OH, RCS was also expected to affect the degradation of organics. But we found that Cl· had no significant contribution to the degradation of organics in catalytic ozonation, which may due to its reaction with ozone. Catalytic ozonation of a series of benzoic acid (BA) with different substituents in chloride contained wastewater was also investigated, and the results showed that the electron-donating substituents can weaken the inhibition of Cl- on BAs degradation, because they increase the reactivity of organics with ·OH, O3 and RCS.

Goodyschle A (1), a new butenolide, was isolated from the whole grass of Goodyera schlechtendaliana, an orchidaceous edible medicinal plant. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by 1 D and 2 D NMR experiments in addition to HRESIMS analyses. Compound 1 was evaluated for its bioactivities including cytotoxic activity against human gastric cancer (SGC-7901) and human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell lines, inhibitory activity on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and DPPH radical scavenging activity. As a result, compound 1 showed potent BChE inhibitory activity (IC50 value = 6.88 ± 1.63 µM), moderate DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC50 value = 16.25 ± 0.21 µM), and slight AChE inhibitory and cytotoxic activities. These findings suggest that compound 1 is worthy for further investigations in terms of its selective BChE inhibitory activity.
