A fluorometric and colorimetric dual-modal nanoprobe (denoted as Fe 2+ -Phen/SiNPs) has been developed for selective and sensitive determination of nitrite (NO 2 − ). The mechanism is based on fluorescence quenching between silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) and Fe(II)-phenanthroline complex (Fe 2+ -Phen) via inner filter effect and redox. With the addition of increasing NO 2 − , Fe 2+ is oxidized to Fe 3+ , recovering the fluorescence of SiNPs. Meanwhile, the color of the system gradually changes from orange-red to colorless, which enables colorimetric measurement. The NO 2 − concentration shows a wide linear relationship with fluorescence intensity from 0.1 to 1.0 mM ( R 2 = 0.9955) with a detection limit of 2.4 μM in the fluorometric method (excitation wavelength: 380 nm). By contrast, the linear range of the colorimetric method ranges from 0.01 to 0.35 mM ( R 2 = 0.9953) with a limit of detection of 6.8 μM (proposed selective absorbance: 510 nm). The probe has been successfully applied to nitrite determination in water, salted vegetables, and hams demonstrating broad application prospects for the determination of nitrite in complicated matrices.

Cathode materials with high hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) selectivity and Fe 2+ regeneration under macroneutral conditions are the essential for practical electro-Fenton processes. Herein, we develop an amorphous cobalt sulphide (CoSx(t = x)@Cu) cocatalytic electro-Fenton (EF) system capable of effectively degrading organic pollutants, such as sulfamethoxazole, at macroneutral pH conditions. Owing to the flexible electronic properties of amorphous structures and charge redistribution triggered by S defects, the optimum CoSx(t = 8)@Cu cathode successfully introduces H*/H + and promotes the in-situ evolution of H 2 O 2 . Additionally, an acidic microenvironment was constructed on the CoSx(t = 8)@Cu surface by the unreduced H*/H + , enabling a self-adjustment from alkalinity to acidity in the EF reaction without adding acid. Such self-adjustment effectually inhibits iron sludge production and promotes Fe 2+ regeneration, assuring 80% Fe 2+ cycling efficiency. More importantly, the EF system possesses outstanding stability and applicability for organic pollutant remediation regardless of water matrices. This work elucidates the intrinsic mechanism of amorphous electrocatalysts in overcoming the pH limitation of EF reactions, extending the applicability of Fenton technology.

Grifola frondosa protein was hydrolysed using Alcalase, and the resulting hydrolysates (CGFP) were filtered using 5 and 1 kDa nominal cut-off ultrafiltration membranes and separated using Sephadex gel chromatography . Two main fractions, named GFP-1 and GFP-2 were obtained. CGFP-Fe and GFP-Fe were synthesized using ferrous chelation. Results showed that the GFP-2 fraction with molecular weight of 963 Da had the highest Fe(II) chelating activity (2680 ± 40 μg/g). UV spectrum showed that the Fe(II) shifted the maximum absorption to shorter wavelengths. The peptides measured using FTIR showed that the GFP-Fe peptide and the un-chelated peptide had different C–O and C= O absorption peaks. The effects of CGFP, CGFP-Fe, GFP2-2 and GFP-Fe on splenocytes proliferation and cytokines secretion were studied in vitro . Both the GFP-2 and GFP-Fe had good immune-enhancing activity. Furthermore, GFP-Fe showed an ability to promote the proliferation of splenocytes and peritoneal macrophages. The iron-chelating peptide of Grifola frondosa still maintained its immune enhancing activity after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The results suggested that GFP-Fe might be beneficial as a new iron supplement and as an immunological enhancement .

A series of nanocomposites comprised of iron oxide and mesoporous carbon (denoted as Fe3O4@mC) were derived from an Fe(II)-based metal–organic framework (525-MOF) by calcining at different temperatures. The advantages of chemical functionality, strong bioaffinity, and high stability of the Fe3O4@mC can be combined with the high specific surface area of 525-MOF leading to the formation of Fe3O4@mC nanocomposites as a scaffold for oxytetracycline (OTC) aptamer strands. The use of Fe3O4@mC nanocomposites reveals high OTC detection efficiency. The nanocomposite calcined at 900 °C (denoted as Fe3O4@mC900) is found to be the best candidate toward high-sensitivity and high-selectivity detection of OTC because of its excellent functionality, nanostructural properties, and high electrochemical performance. Accordingly, the Fe3O4@mC900-based electrochemical aptasensor displays high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 0.027 pg mL−1 within a broad linear range of OTC concentration from 0.005 to 1.0 ng mL−1. The aptasensor also exhibits high selectivity, reproducibility, stability, regenerability, and applicability in milk samples. All of these results indicate that the Fe3O4@mC nanocomposites that originated from 525-MOF can be applied in the fields of trace and fast antibiotic determination.

In this work, Fe(II)/Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) treatment with dual functionality of pre-oxidation and coagulation was applied to enhance the removal of alkali lignin in water. The removal efficiency of alkali lignin (2 g/L) could reach ∼ 99% at an optimal dosage of [Fe(II)] = 2.4 mM and [PMS] = 7.8 mM, which was efficiently superior than that using ferric and polymeric coagulant individually. Pre-oxidation, involving hydroxyl radical (•OH) and sulfate radical (SO 4 •− ), has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in both oxidative degradation (∼30%) and reducing the molecular weight and hydrophilicity of lignin. Meanwhile, the formation of polynuclear Fe-hydroxide complexes was also fostered, which in turn greatly contribute to the removal of lignin through an enhanced coagulation mechanism. The reductive units present in alkali lignin was demonstrated to initiate a dynamic transition between Fe(III) and Fe(II) by donating electrons. This redox activity is anticipated to continuously promote the formation of electro-neutral and loose flocs, thereby resulting in an enhanced coagulation performance. Furthermore, ultrafiltration (UF) was also demonstrated as a viable liquid/solid separation method following Fe(II)/PMS treatment, effectively promoting membrane flux recovery rate to ∼90%. This highlights the remarkable potential of this method when combined with other treatment processes. This study aims to offer a complementary strategy for remediating alkali lignin wastewater while advancing the fundamental understanding of redox-reaction enhanced in-situ coagulation in water treatment applications.

In this paper, a kind of novel core-shell structured heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst, boron-doped reduced graphene oxide wrapped Fe 3 O 4 (Fe 3 O 4 @B-rGO) composite, was successfully synthesized by heating the mixture of Borane-Tetrahydrofuran adduct and graphene oxide wrapped Fe 3 O 4 (Fe 3 O 4 @GO) under reflux conditions. The core-shell structure of the catalyst had been confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photo electron spectra (XPS), and electron energy loss spectrum (EELS). The experimental results for Bisphenol A (BPA) degradation demonstrated that the as-prepared catalyst exhibited much higher photo-Fenton catalytic activity than Fe 3 O 4 and reduced graphene oxide wrapped Fe 3 O 4 (Fe 3 O 4 @rGO). Additionally, Fe 3 O 4 @B-rGO with mass concentration of doped boron at 9.3% exhibited the optimum catalytic property, in which system the BPA degradation kinetic rate constant was almost 1.96 times and 1.82 times of that in the systems with Fe 3 O 4 and Fe 3 O 4 @rGO, respectively. Finally, the mechanism analyses verified that OH, O 2 − and h + were the main reaction species in this system, and photo-electron generated by boron doped reduce graphene oxide (B-rGO) can accelerate the redox between Fe(II) and Fe(III). The excellent photo-Fenton performance, stability and magnetic separation properties make it promising for the degradation of organic compounds in waste water under visible light.

In response to the inherent restriction of low Fe(II) regeneration in the Fenton process, this study demonstrated a mutual-promoting configuration, where oxygen functionalized g-C 3 N 4 (OCN) was applied in Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 system to utilize mild natural solar light (SL) for persistent Fe(II) generation. The constructed OCN/Fe(III)/H 2 O 2 /SL system exhibited strong adaptability to various pollutants, and it well outperformed the g-C 3 N 4 (GCN) modified system and the traditional Fenton system in pollutants degradation efficiency. Compared with GCN, OCN could significantly promote the Fe(II) generation under solar light (SL), leading to more efficient H 2 O 2 activation. The characterization analyses revealed the larger surface area and enhanced charge separation of OCN, which were considered to take main responsibility for its enhanced photoactivity. The complexation of Fe(III) with the carboxyl groups of OCN also benefited the Fe(II) generation. ·OH was detected as the dominant radical responsible for metronidazole (MNZ) degradation, and its production in the OCN modified system was about twice that in the GCN modified system and the Fenton system. Moreover, the precipitation of FeO x on the OCN surface benefited the charge separation of the OCN, so that the improved OCN enabled a slight enhancement of MNZ degradation in the reuse experiments. The intermediates of MNZ degradation were analyzed based on the results of LC-MS, which provided insight into MNZ degradation pathways. This work highlighted the concept of self-improving photocatalyst, the ingenious combination of photocatalysis and Fenton-like system formed a mutual-promoting situation where the OCN and the Fenton-like system could both be improved, which endowed the configuration great potential for green and economical oxidation in environmental remediation.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated apoptosis is considered a crucial therapeutic mechanisms for artesunate (AS). As an Fe(II)-dependent drug, the anticancer effect of AS is often limited due to insufficient Fe(II) concentration in targeted cells. To overcome this problem, a recombinant apoferritin nanocarrier containing ferriferous oxide (M-HFn) is constructed to produce auxiliary exogenous Fe(II) when delivering AS to cancer cells. Here, the newly fabricated AS-loaded M-HFn nanoparticles (M-HFn@AS NPs) can significantly improve the tumor-specific targeting and intracellular uptake efficiency of AS in human cervical carcinoma cells. After being captured in the acidic cavity of endosomes, M-HFn@AS NPs can simultaneously release Fe(II) and allow AS to activate satisfactory ROS-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore, in vivo studies demonstrate that M-HFn@AS NPs can selectively accumulate in tumors to efficiently inhibit tumor growth. Thus, M-HFn@AS NPs are a promising system to enhance the therapeutic effect of Fe(II)-dependent drugs.

Cytochrome c ( c -Cyts), as a key protein involved in extracellular electron transfer , plays an important role in the microbial Fe(II)-oxidizing process. In this study, due to their similar structure with the outer membrane protein of microorganisms , the equine c -Cyts was employed as a model protein to examine the impact of different organic ligands on the redox kinetics between Fe(II) and c -Cyts using the rapid stopped-flow spectrometer. Our results suggest that the presence of organic ligands will significantly accelerate the reaction between c -Cyts and Fe(II), with reaction rates obtained in the following order: EDTA > citric acid (Cit) > NTA > malonic acid (Mal) > glycine amino acid (Gly) > acetate acid (Ace) > control. It was also found from the kinetic modeling results that the reduction rate of c -Cyts by Fe(II)-ligands was closely correlated to the complex constant between Fe(II) and each ligand, and the reduction rate constants of c -Cyts by Fe(II)L species (L represents “ligands”). Further analysis on the ligand structure indicates that the reaction rate constants are highly correlated with the complex constants of Fe(II)-ligand and the reduction rate constants of c -Cyts by Fe(II)L species ( k 3 ) for Group I (Gly, NTA, and EDTA) and Group II (Cit, Mal, and Ace). The results of midpoint potentials of all Fe(II)-ligands obtained through cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments were ranked as Ace < Gly < NTA < control < Mal < EDTA < Cit, indicating that the redox potentials of Fe(II) complexes in the same group with similar structures were positively correlated with Fe(II)-ligand complex constants. The reorganization energy change of the electron-transfer reaction resulting from the different Fe(II)-ligand structures may contribute significantly more than does the Gibbs free energy (Δ G ) to the reaction kinetics of Fe(II)-ligand and c -Cyts.

Low temperatures were a critical factor that inhibited anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) activity. This study demonstrated the effect of exogenous zero-valent iron (ZVI) on Anammox-hydroxyapatite (HAP) system at 17°C. The results showed that long-term addition of ZVI increased the system nitrogen removal efficiency by 8.59% and alleviated the inhibition of AnAOB by low temperature. After addition of ZVI, the activity of AnAOB and the heme c content increased by 58.20% and 4.83%, respectively. Moreover, the functional enzyme activities of NIR, HZS, and HZO increased by 94.12%, 36.36%, and 16.67%, respectively. The concentrations of quorum sensing molecules, i.e., C 6 -HSL and C 8 -HSL, increased by 191.17% and 41.54%, respectively, after ZVI addition. Metagenomic analysis revealed that the addition of 5 g/L ZVI stimulated the relative abundance relative abundance of Fe(II) metabolism-related genes in AnAOB at 17 °C, thereby contributing to the uptake, transport, utilization, and storage of Fe(II). The addition of ZVI could improve the nitrogen removal performance of the anammox-HAP system at the low temperature.

The practical application of the traditional Fenton system (Fe(II)/H2O2) is seriously hampered by the sluggish Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle and the stringent acidic reaction condition. In this work, we found that trace-dissolved S(-II) (DS(-II), 5 μM) could significantly accelerate the Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle and trigger a rapid H2O2 activation process in the Fe(III)/H2O2 system. Thus, more hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were generated for the rapid removal of various organic pollutants such as bisphenol A (BPA) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from water. Besides, the additive DS(-II) effectively broadened the application pH range of the Fenton or Fenton-like system. The constructed Fe(III)/DS(-II)/H2O2 system showed extensive applicability to different water matrices and maintained high BPA removal in the actual water sources. Furthermore, the toxicity assessment revealed that the toxicity of the target contaminant was diminished. The harmless SO42– was the final product of DS(-II) in the Fe(III)/DS(-II)/H2O2 system, and the residual DS(-II) was less than the threshold limit value for fresh or saltwater (0.5 mg/L). This discovery is expected to promote the large-scale practical application of iron-based Fenton or Fenton-like systems in practical organic wastewater purification.

Due to its high efficiency, Fe(II)-based catalytic oxidation has been one of the most popular types of technology for treating growing organic pollutants. A lot of chemical Fe sludge along with various refractory pollutants was concomitantly produced, which may cause secondary environmental problems without proper disposal. We here innovatively proposed an effective method of achieving zero Fe sludge, reusing Fe resources (Fe recovery = 100%) and advancing organics removal (final TOC removal > 70%) simultaneously, based on the in situ formation of magnetic Ca-Fe layered double hydroxide (Fe 3 O 4 @CaFe-LDH) nano-material. Cations (Ca 2+ and Fe 3+ ) concentration (≥ 30 mmol/L) and their molar ratio (Ca:Fe ≥ 1.75) were crucial to the success of the method. Extrinsic nano Fe 3 O 4 was designed to be involved in the Fe(II)-catalytic wastewater treatment process, and was modified by oxidation intermediates/products (especially those with COO − structure), which promoted the co-precipitation of Ca 2+ (originated from Ca(OH) 2 added after oxidation process) and by-produced Fe 3+ cations on its surface to in situ generate core-shell Fe 3 O 4 @CaFe-LDH. The oxidation products were further removed during Fe 3 O 4 @CaFe-LDH material formation via intercalation and adsorption. This method was applicable to many kinds of organic wastewater, such as bisphenol A, methyl orange, humics, and biogas slurry. The prepared magnetic and hierarchical CaFe-LDH nanocomposite material showed comparable application performance to the recently reported CaFe-LDHs. This work provides a new strategy for efficiently enhancing the efficiency and economy of Fe(II)-catalyzed oxidative wastewater treatment by producing high value-added LDHs materials.
