At the front end of the Electrostatic precipitator (ESP), activated carbon injection is a common method to remove mercury from flue gas, but the high cost, low efficiency and non-recyclability limit the practical application of activated carbon. MoS 2 , a transition metal sulfide with a two-dimensional layered structure, was found to have favourable performances in removing contaminant. In this work, Fe 3 O 4 was successfully grown on the surface of flower-like MoS 2 by two-steps hydrothermal methods. The experimental results showed that the specific surface area of MoS 2 /Fe 3 O 4 (MF) was the largest when the ratio is 10 wt% (MF-10). Compared with pure MoS 2 , the specific surface area of MF-10 increased by 6.7467 m 2 /g, which was attributed to the growth of Fe 3 O 4 . At the same time, the introduction of Fe 3 O 4 made the MF possess superparamagnetism to facilitate its retrievability under an external magnetic field. In addition, MF-10 also showed a mercury removal efficiency of almost 100%. Although the efficiency of the MF-10 has decreased after 5 cycles and 24 h, it could still maintain about 90%, revealing a stable cycle life. Due to its mercury removal performance and recyclability, MF can be considered as a favorable adsorbent for removing elemental mercury.

Bromate (BrO3−) contamination in drinking water is a growing concern. Advanced reduction processes (ARPs) are reportedly promising in relieving this concern. In this work, UV/superparamagnetic BiOCl (BiOCl loaded onto superparamagnetic hydroxyapatite) assisted with small molecule carboxylic acid (formate, citrate, and acetate), a carboxyl anion radical (CO2•−)-based ARP, was proposed to eliminate aqueousBrO3−. Formate and citrate were found to be idealCO2•−precursor, and the latter was found to be safe for practical use.BrO3−(10 μg·L−1, WHO guideline for drinking water) can be completely degraded within 3 min under oxygen-free conditions. In this process,BrO3−degradation was realized by the reduction ofCO2•−(major role) and formyloxyl radical (minor role) in bulk solution. The formation mechanism of radicals and the transformation pathway ofBrO3−were proposed based on data on electron paramagnetic resonance monitoring, competitive kinetics, and degradation product analysis. The process provided a sustainable decontamination performance (<5% deterioration for 10 cycles) and appeared to be more resistant to common electron acceptors (O2,NO3−, and Fe3+) than hydrated electron based-ARPs. Phosphate based-superparamagnetic hydroxyapatite, used to support BiOCl in this work, was believed to be applicable for resolving the recycling problem of other metal-containing catalyst.Keywords:bromate;carboxyl anion radical;reduction;magnetic recovering

Due to the layered structure and recycling characteristics, magnetic MnFe 2 O 4 /ZnFe-LDH was prepared by co-precipitation. In this study, we intensively explored MnFe 2 O 4 /ZnFe-LDH for water purification compared with the ZnFe-LDH. The morphological and structural characteristics of the obtained products were systematically characterized. MnFe 2 O 4 /ZnFe-LDH exhibits the maximum adsorption capacity of 94.52 mg/g for phosphate and 49.03 mg/g for Cr (VI), respectively, which is superior to that of the ZnFe-LDH, indicating that the magnetic MnFe 2 O 4 effectively enhanced adsorption performance. Meanwhile, the mechanism of adsorption of phosphate and Cr (VI) was briefly studied, where the metal center ion in MnFe 2 O 4 /ZnFe-LDH and between layers of SO 4 2− serves as capture sites for phosphate and Cr (VI) removal. Furthermore, the MnFe 2 O 4 /ZnFe-LDH can be used for magnetic recycled and still maintained excellent removal efficiency (70%) for phosphate and Cr (VI) after five adsorption–desorption cycles. This work could open a new vista of designing magnetic novel adsorbents in environmental remediation.

Mn-substituted FeOOH with different Mn/(Mn + Fe) molar ratios are synthesized, and characterized using FESEM, XRD, FTIR, ICP-OES, BET, Zeta potential, TG-DSC, XPS, and VSM. The results show that the actual doping amounts of Mn are 0%, 3.05%, 6.13%, 9.04%, 12.70%, and 15.14%, respectively. The substitution of Mn promotes the transformation of goethite from FeOOH to MnFe2O4, resulting in a saturation magnetization intensity of up to 14.90 emu/g for G-Mn15%, laying a theoretical foundation for magnetic recovery. The specific surface area of Mn-substituted FeOOH increases from 57.15 m2/g to 315.26 m2/g with an increasing Mn substitution amount. Combined with the abundant oxygen-containing functional groups such as -OH, Fe-O, and Mn-O on the surface, sufficient active sites are provided for the efficient adsorption of U(VI). The TG-DSC analysis results indicate that the substitution of Mn improves the thermal stability of goethite. In addition, XPS analysis results indicate that the substitution of Mn leads to the conversion of Fe3+to Fe2+in goethite, and the conversion of Mn2+to Mn3+replaces Fe3+in the structure of goethite. Fe-O and Mn-O coordinate participate in the adsorption and reduction process of U(VI). The batch experiment results show that the substitution of Mn promotes the adsorption performance of goethite for U(VI). When T = 303 K, pH = 4.0, m/V = 0.5 g/L, and I = 0.01 mol/L NaCl, the maximum adsorption capacity of G-Mn15% for U(VI) is 79.24 mg/g, indicating the potential value of Mn substitution for goethite in the treatment of uranium-containing wastewater.

Owing to the twin problems of eutrophication and global phosphorus (P) scarcity, the removal and recovery of phosphate from water and wastewater have received increasing attention. Herein, magnetically recyclable La 2 O 2 CO 3 /γ-Fe 2 O 3 adsorbents were rationally designed by derivation from La/Fe binary metal organic framework (MOF) precursors via calcination treatment. Based upon preliminary screening of as-prepared La 2 O 2 CO 3 /γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanocomposites with different La-to-Fe molar ratios in terms of phosphate sorption capacity and magnetic property as well as La content, La 2 O 2 CO 3 /γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanocomposite with a La-to-Fe molar ratio of 2:1 was selected for further characterization and adsorption performance evaluation. Batch adsorption experiments showed that La 2 O 2 CO 3 /γ-Fe 2 O 3 (2:1) adsorbent exhibited a remarkable phosphate sorption capacity of 134.82 mg P/g, a fast sorption kinetic, strong selectivity for phosphate in the presence of co-existing anions, and a wide applicable pH range of 3−9. Furthermore, La 2 O 2 CO 3 /γ-Fe 2 O 3 (2:1) sorbent displayed an excellent sorption performance for low-concentration wastewater, a low dosage of 0.1 g/L was sufficiently enough for reducing P-concentration from 0.5 mg P/L to below 10 μg P/L within 20 min. In a real sewage of 2.68 mg P/L, 0.2 g/L of sorbent could reduce the concentration of phosphate to <0.01 mg P/L within 50 min. Moreover, over 83.1 % of original sorption capacity could be retained after 5 consecutive regeneration cycles, showing great regenerative performance of the adsorbent. These development is expected to be meaningful for practical water purification.

In response to the escalating concerns over antibiotics in aquatic environments, the photo-Fenton reaction has been spotlighted as a promising approach to address this issue. Herein, a novel heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst (Fe 3 O 4 /WPC) with magnetic recyclability was synthesized through a facile two-step process that included in situ growth and subsequent carbonization treatment. This catalyst was utilized to expedite the photocatalytic decomposition of ciprofloxacin (CIP) assisted by H 2 O 2 . Characterization results indicated the successful anchoring of MIL-101(Fe)-derived spindle-like Fe 3 O 4 particles in the multi-channeled wood-converted porous carbon (WPC) scaffold. The as-synthesized hybrid photocatalysts, boasting a substantial specific surface area of 414.90 m 2 ·g −1 and an excellent photocurrent density of 0.79 μA·cm −2 , demonstrated superior photo-Fenton activity, accomplishing approximately 100% degradation of CIP within 120 min of ultraviolet-light exposure. This can be attributed to the existence of a heterojunction between Fe 3 O 4 and WPC substrate that promotes the migration and enhances the efficient separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. Meanwhile, the Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox circulation and mesoporous wood carbon in the catalyst synergistically enhance the utilization of H 2 O and accelerate the formation of •OH radicals, leading to heightened degradation efficiency of CIP. Experiments utilizing chemical trapping techniques have demonstrated that •OH radicals are instrumental in the CIP degradation process. Furthermore, the study on reusability indicated that the efficiency in removing CIP remained at 89.5% even through five successive cycles, indicating the structural stability and excellent recyclability of Fe 3 O 4 /WPC. This research presented a novel pathway for designing magnetically reusable MOFs/wood-derived composites as photo-Fenton catalysts for actual wastewater treatment.

A series of iodine-doped titanium dioxide (I-TiO 2 ) photocatalysts was synthesized by using silica-coated Fe 3 O 4 (SF) as the magnetic core (abbreviated here as ITSF), in order to facilitate the efficient recovery of these photocatalysts. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction results indicated that the ITSF nanoparticles had a ternary structure with a core of Fe 3 O 4 , a SiO 2 mesosphere and an I-TiO 2 crust with a mixture of anatase and rutile phases. Magnetic measurements with a vibrating sample magnetometer showed that the ITSF core–shell structures exhibited favorable superparamagnetic behaviors and the magnetic saturation value decreased after coating with the non-magnetic I-TiO 2 layer. The photocatalytic activity of the particles was tested by degrading an aqueous phenol solution under visible-light illumination. The photocatalytic activity of the multi-functional hybrid magnetite nanoparticles was enhanced with increasing content of TiO 2 , while the magnetism of the composite particles decreased. Moreover, an optimum molar ratio of 1:10 I/TiO 2 was determined for the efficient degradation of phenol. The study showed that the presence of SF magnetic core would be helpful in the separation and recovery of I-TiO 2 photocatalysts.

In this study, a magnetically recyclable Pd catalyst was developed by using the novel support of iron-rich coal fly ash/silica (IRFA@SiO 2 ) for highly efficient reduction of p -nitrophenol ( p -NP). IRFA microspheres were coated with amorphous SiO 2 synthesized from non-magnetic coal fly ash (NMFA) and then loaded with Pd by impregnation method for the synthesis of Pd/IRFA@SiO 2 . Various surface analyses demonstrated that amorphous SiO 2 was well deposited on the surface of IRFA, providing a unique three-dimensionally structured SiO 2 layer to suppress aggregation of IRFA and enhance dispersion of Pd nanoparticles. Pd/IRFA@SiO 2 exhibited a significantly enhanced p -NP reduction than those of Pd/IRFA, Pd/Al 2 O 3 , and Pd/SiO 2 . Compared to other Pd- and metal-loaded catalysts, Pd/IRFA@SiO 2 showed ˜4000× enhancements in k obs-p-NP /C M (L min −1 g M −1 , M = precious metals) values and ˜3800× increases in price-normalized k obs-p-NP values, indicating that Pd/IRFA@SiO 2 is a highly efficient and cost-effective alternative catalyst. The catalyst was successfully recycled five times without significant leaching of Pd, Si, and heavy metals because of the magnetic property of Pd/IRFA@SiO 2 . The experimental results suggest the applicability of the surface-modified IRFA support for the development of novel magnetically recoverable catalysts without severe toxicity problems.

Synthesis of an easily separable and efficient catalyst is of great significance for selective hydrogenation of unsaturated functional groups. In this work, novel magnetic flower-like carbonaceous Pd catalysts are constructed for the selective reduction of the CC bond. According to the characterization results, a flower-like architecture is observed in the catalysts containing both Fe3O4 and Pd NPs, which is constructed by the secondary self-assembly in the preparation process due to the interaction between Pd and magnetic nitrogen-doped graphene (Fe3O4-NG). More flower-like structures are formed by increasing the Pd loading amount, further enhancing the specific surface area of the catalyst. The specific surface area of Pd-FONG-3 is the highest (521.17 m2 g−1). Combining the results of characterization and experiments, it is found that the catalytic activity is positively related to the flower-like architecture and the interaction between Pd NPs (6.0 nm) and Fe3O4 NPs (6.7 nm). Fe3O4 is not only beneficial to the magnetic recovery of the catalyst, but also acts as a cocatalyst, which can significantly improve the reactant conversion. Moreover, N species play an important role in protecting the CO bond, resulting in the selective hydrogenation of the CC group. Herein, Pd-FONG-3 exhibits excellent activity in the selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (CAL) with 99.5% conversion and 96.5% hydrocinnamaldehyde (HCAL) selectivity, and its catalytic performance is much better than that of the commercial 5% Pd/C catalyst (100% conversion and 69.1% HCAL selectivity). This work provides a new strategy to construct highly active catalysts with magnetic recovery properties for selective hydrogenation of CC bonds, and Pd-FONG-3 shows tremendous application foreground.

The photocatalytic reduction of highly toxic and soluble U(VI) to low toxic and insoluble U(IV) represents an environmentally friendly and efficient approach for uranium extraction. However, the application of photocatalytic U(VI) reduction is limited by low efficiency and challenges in recovering powder catalysts. In this study, we develop magnetically recyclable photocatalysts by integrating Fe 3 O 4 particles with in-situ grown ZnIn 2 S 4 /CdS Z -scheme heterojunctions (FO@ZIS/CS). Without adding any sacrificial agents, about 100 % of U(VI) in 50-mL aqueous solution (20 mg/L) is reduced by FO@ZIS/CS within 30-min visible light irradiation, which is 2.8 times higher than that of pristine ZnIn 2 S 4 (36 %). The remarkable performance is attributed to the Z -scheme heterojunction formed between ZnIn 2 S 4 and CdS, which promotes charge separation and preserves strong redox capabilities. Comprehensive experiments and theoretical simulations reveal that S and In atoms on ZnIn 2 S 4 (110) facets act as the active species for the U(VI) adsorption and reduction. Moreover, the FO@ZIS/CS photocatalyst maintains high U(VI) reduction efficiency in complex water matrices. The used FO@ZIS/CS and the adsorbed U(IV) can be easily recovered by an external magnetic field. This work offers a practical strategy for reducing and extracting U(VI) from mining wastewater, achieving both environmental remediation and resource recycling objectives.

In this work, we presented the robust and magnetically recoverable dual sensor particles that are capable of real-time monitoring of dissolved oxygen (DO) and glucose concentrations in aqueous solutions. The dual sensor consists of glucose oxidase-functionalized polyethylenimine-coated Fe 3 O 4 particles (Fe 3 O 4 @PEI-GOD) and sub-micro-sized Fe 3 O 4 -modified poly(Platinum porphyrin- co -Styrene) ((PtTFPPMA-PS)@Fe 3 O 4 ) fluorescent spheres. The dual sensing functions originate from the cascade catalysis amplification driven by the recyclable Fe 3 O 4 @PEI-GOD particles and glucose oxidase consumption of oxygen in the process of glucose oxidation. Consequently, the (PtTFPPMA-PS)@Fe 3 O 4 fluorescent spheres exhibited higher fluorescence intensity due to the effective alleviation of fluorescence quenching effect raised from the decrease of DO. The remarkable fluorescence intensity-changing characteristics of the solutions facilitate convenient identification of oxygen concentrations and glucose concentrations even with naked eyes. Thanks to the magnetically recoverable superiority, the recycle study proved that the multifunctional particles could be repeatedly utilized without significant catalytic activity loss after 10 cycles. Interestingly, the sensing film comprising the (PtTFPPMA-PS)@Fe 3 O 4 fluorescent spheres can also be applied to the unsteady pressure measurement and unsteady air flow visualization due to its remarkable light intensity-changing features.

In this study, a novel Pd(II) complex functionalized core–shell magnetic mesoporous catalyst (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 –Pd(II)) was synthesized by a simple cost effective procedure. It was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and nitrogen physical adsorption. The Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 –Pd(II) catalyst offered high surface area and exhibited excellent activity towards Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of halides with aryl boronic acids in ethanol in air. The Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 –Pd(II) catalyst was stable, reusable, and conveniently recovered by applying an external magnetic field. Moreover, it provided 91% conversion after the sixth catalytic run. The Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 –Pd(II) catalyst examined in this study combined both the efficiency of a homogeneous catalyst and the durability of a heterogeneous catalyst. The results revealed that the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 –Pd(II) catalyst is promising as a candidate for various Pd-based catalytic applications.
