摘要: In wastewater treatment plants, antibiotic accumulation in activated sludge hinders sustainable water remediation and resource recovery. To address this, we developed a sludge-derived extracellular polymeric substances (EPS)-based photosensitization strategy for peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation, leveraging EPS's inherent photochemical properties to enhance antibiotic degradation. We examined three EPS fractions (S-EPS, LB-EPS, TB-EPS) using molecular spectroscopy, electrochemical methods, and time-dependent density functional theory computations. S-EPS, rich in fulvic acid-like substances, exhibited superior PDS activation due to its elevated aromaticity, unsaturation, and lignin/CRAM content, which enhanced It-conjugation and electron transfer. Electrochemical experiments confirmed that 3EPS* activated PDS via electron transfer, with phenolic and quinone groups playing key roles. Scavenging experiments revealed the generation of & sdot;OH, SO4 & sdot;-, O2 & sdot;-, and 1O2, with 1O2 dominating tetracycline (TC) degradation. This study advances EPS-mediated photochemical processes and provides a green, sustainable pathway for transforming waste sludge into functional materials. By eliminating synthetic catalysts and harnessing solar energy, this approach aligns with cleaner production and circular bioeconomy principles, offering a scalable solution for low-carbon wastewater treatment.
