Herein, we report a low-metal iron-supported (0.06 wt%) catalyst (Fe20/NC-Mg), in which the FeN x site and Mg(OH) 2 nanorods are synergistic to achieve the efficient synthesis of quinoxaline (16 examples, 82–91 % yield) with water as a solvent and without additional bases. Moreover, the industrial application potential of Fe20/NC-Mg is demonstrated by gram-level synthesis and reusability of catalysts after four cycles. This protocol has high atomic and step economy, which meets with the requirement of green synthesis.

In this work, a self-assembly method is developed to synthesize a series of cuprous chloride/copper chloride hydroxide composites (CCCCHs). The hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) removal performances of these materials are investigated under the conditions of 25 °C, 1 atm and the inlet H 2 S concentration of 250 ppm in a gaseous N 2 mixture with a flow rate of 40 mL min −1 . It is demonstrated that the intermediate product of Cu by Fe reduction can react with CuCl 2 to form cuprous chloride (CuCl). Then, CuCl 2 and H 2 O are self-assembled on the surface of CuCl to generate the shell layer of copper chloride hydroxides (CCHs). When the molar ratio of CuCl 2 to Fe is 4, the CCCCHs show the largest H 2 S adsorption capacity of 259.5 mg g −1 because CuCl core is almost covered by CCHs overlayers. Based on extensive results of XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, XPS and FTIR analyses, the sulfidation reaction mechanism of CCCCHs can be revealed. When react with H 2 S, the CCHs surface is decomposed to generate CuCl 2 ·2H 2 O and Cu 2+ is reduced to Cu + , which is accompanied by the oxidation of H 2 S to form elemental sulfur and sulfate. During the decomposition process of CCHs, sulfidation reaction can penetrate deeply into the adsorbent particles, and the H 2 S treatment capacity of adsorbent is substantially improved.

Iron-carbon micro-electrolysis (ICME) materials are widely used as composite conductive materials for wastewater treatment to promote the degradation of volatile solids (VS), but there is virtually no research on their effect on high-solid anaerobic digestion (HSAD). This study aimed to investigate the effect of 10–50 g/L ICME dosages on HSAD and to reveal the microbial enhancement mechanism. The batch experiments (working volume of 400 mL) were conducted in a constant temperature water bath shaker. The results showed that the ICME materials promoted methane production by HSAD. The highest methane production rate was 297.79 mL/ g VS at a dosage of 50 g/L, which was 28% higher than that of the control. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that the ICME materials increased the attachment area of microorganisms. Further analyses of microbial community indicated that ICME materials facilitate symbiotic metabolism of syntrophic acetate-oxidizing bacteria ( Synergistaceae ) and hydrogenotrophic methanogens ( Methanospirillum ). This potentially promotes the conversion of the acetoacetic methanogenesis pathway to the syntrophic acetate oxidation and hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis pathways. This study revealed ICME material enhancement in HSAD as well as new insights into the microbial mechanisms.

High porosity Co-Al-Fe intermetallic with 3D-microstructures were one-step synthesized via a novel thermal explosion reaction. A link between pore structure and permeability was established using 3D-XRM technology. The corrosion resistance of the samples with different Fe contents was investigated at 900 °C under an oxygen/sulphur atmosphere for up to 120 h. The results showed that the pore structure of the samples remains stable, and the internal matrices are intact due to the formation of a thin protective layer of Al 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 on the surface of the product skeleton. In addition, inward diffusion of S leads to the formation of FeS nodules.

Al content is of great importance for the evolution of the microstructure and compressive performance of the high-Mn and high-Al porous steels. Herein, Fe–Mn–Al porous steels with different Al contents are prepared via powder sintering at different temperatures. The results show that the main phases of the sintered samples at 640 °C are α-Fe, α-Mn, and Al, while a small amount of Fe 2 Al 5 and Al 8 Mn 5 exists in the samples with 15 and 20 wt% Al. At 1200 °C, the sintered sample with 5 wt% Al is composed of γ-Fe, while those with 15 and 20 wt% Al are mainly α-Fe. The length of Mn depletion region and porosity of the samples increase with the increase of Al content. The largest total and open porosity are observed in the 1200 °C-sintered sample with 20 wt% Al, which are 63.1 and 60.7 vol%, respectively. The compressive strength decreases sharply from 770 MPa for the sample with 5 wt% Al to 7.5 MPa with 15 wt% Al, after sintering at 1200 °C. Ductile fracture occurs in the sample with 5 wt% Al, while brittle fracture is the main fracture mode in those with 15 and 20 wt% Al.

Although the research on aqueous batteries employing metal as the anode is still mainly focused on the aqueous zinc-ion battery, aqueous iron-ion batteries are considered as promising aqueous batteries owing to the lower cost, higher specific capacity, and better stability. However, the sluggish Fe 2+ (de)intercalation leads to unsatisfactory specific capacity and poor electrochemical stability, which makes it difficult to find cathode materials with excellent electrochemical properties. Herein, phenylamine (PA)-intercalated VOPO 4 materials with expanded interlayer spacing are synthesized and applied successfully in aqueous iron-ion batteries. Owing to enough diffusion space from the expanded interlayer, which can boost fast Fe 2+ diffusion, the aqueous iron-ion battery shows a high specific capacity of 170 mAh g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 , excellent rate performance, and cycle stability (96.2% capacity retention after 2200 cycles). This work provides a new direction for cathode material design in the development of aqueous iron-ion batteries.

Chloramphenicol (CAP) is an effective bacteriostatic pharmaceutical that has been widely applied in clinical prescriptions, animal husbandry and aquaculture, but the residues excreted by human and animals have resulted in environmental pollution. Here, we investigated the mechanism of enhanced removal of CAP by zero-valent iron (ZVI) and pyrite mixture, the effect of environmental factors (i.e., initial pH, and co-solutes (anions, cations and organic matter)) as well as the potential applications and environmental safety of ZVI/pyrite mixture. Results show that the mixing of pyrite with ZVI enhanced the removal efficiency of CAP from 14.2% to 80–100% with a range of pyrite/ZVI mass ratios from 1.0 to 4.0. The environmental factors can change the surface reactivity and composition of pyrite/ZVI mixture, consequently altering the removal of CAP. Mechanism study revealed that pyrite could suppress the pH increase, mitigate the passivation of ZVI surface, and accelerate the production of reactive Fe(II). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization results of the solids after reacting at different pH conditions indicated formation of highly reactive secondary minerals (such as green rust and iron sulfide (FeS)). In addition, in different co-solutes systems, the secondary minerals are differed, leading to the change of ZVI surface reactivity. This study extends the knowledge of the effect of environmental condition on ZVI technology in practical engineering systems.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) has the advantages of utilizing complex substrates and producing renewable energy and is currently one of the mainstream technologies for food waste (FW) resourcing. However, at high organic loads and low inoculum-to-substrate ratios (ISRs), AD with FW as substrate is prone to acid accumulation, resulting in a drastic decrease in gas production and system collapse. This study investigated the effect of the coupled addition of zero-valent iron (ZVI) and activated carbon (AC) on the AD of FW at three low ISRs of 0.715, 0.625, and 0.5. The results showed that the control group acidified and stopped producing biogas when the ISR decreased to 0.625 and 0.5, but ZVI coupled with AC alleviated the acidification and increased the cumulative biogas yield. Especially at ISR = 0.5, the cumulative biogas yield for the ZVI + AC group was 31.5%, 99.5%, and 11.43 times higher than that of the ZVI, AC, and control groups, respectively. ZVI coupled with AC also increased the degradation of volatile fatty acids (70.5–84.4%) and soluble chemical oxygen demand (50.0–72.9%) while decreasing propionate concentration and improving the stability of the AD system. COD mass balance analyses indicated that the coupled addition of ZVI and AC promoted the conversion of particulate organic matter to soluble organic matter and increased the conversion of carbon sources to methane.Keywords:fermentation;methane production;acidification;acid accumulation

The increasing amount of heavy metal copper ions (Cu 2+ ) in industrial emissions, poses a serious threat to human health, biological environment, and resource scarcity. Capacitive deionization (CDI) is considered as a green and efficient method for desalination. It is crucial to develop high-performance electrodes for efficient operation of CDI that go beyond conventional carbon and yield considerable environmental benefits. Here, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) derived carbon-loaded cobalt metaphosphate (NC-Co(PO 3 ) 2 ) was prepared by low-temperature gas–solid phosphating for Cu 2+ removal as CDI electrode for the first time. NC-Co(PO 3 ) 2 demonstrated superior electrode structure and function due to the synergistic effects of electric double layer coupling P-O bonds, the binding tendency of metaphosphate groups with Cu 2+ , and interfacial redox reactions induced by the labile valence state of cobalt. The optimal electrosorption capacity of NC-Co(PO 3 ) 2 was 95.41 mg g −1 at 1 V in 50 mL Cu 2+ solution with splendid cyclic regeneration capability. Moreover, NC-Co(PO 3 ) 2 exhibited excellent selectivity and outstanding electrosorption performance in the presence of multiple coexisting ions and this CDI system realized the purification of actual copper-containing wastewater. A series of characterizations further revealed the specific mechanism of Cu 2+ in adsorption–desorption process. Our finding strongly supported NC-Co(PO 3 ) 2 electrode can extend the CDI platform's capability for effectively removing and retrieving Cu 2+ from wastewater.

It has been previously reported that pre-magnetization could enhance the efficacy of zero-valent iron (ZVI) in removing contaminants. However, little is known about the effects and persistence of different magnetization methods on pre-magnetized ZVI (Pre-ZVI) when used in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the durability of various pre-magnetization methods in enhancing the removal efficiency of different pollutants will significantly impact the widespread utilization of Pre-ZVI in practical engineering. Herein, we investigated the efficiency of dry and wet Pre-ZVI-activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) in eliminating oxytetracycline (OTC) and evaluated the durability of Pre-ZVI. Additionally, we examined several factors that influence the degradation process's efficiency. Our results found that the reaction constant k values corresponding to the dry Pre-ZVI/PMS system at the pH values of 3, 7, and 9 varied from approximately 0.0384, 0.0331, and 0.0349 (day 1) to roughly 0.0297, 0.0278, and 0.0314 (day 30), respectively. Meanwhile, the wet Pre-ZVI/PMS system exhibited k values ranging from approximately 0.0392, 0.0349, and 0.0374 (day 1) to roughly 0.0380, 0.0291, and 0.0322 (day 30), respectively. Moreover, we proposed four OTC degradation pathways using LC-MS/MS and density functional theory calculations. The toxicity of the degradation products was assessed using the ecological structure activity relationship and the toxicity estimation software tool . Overall, this study provides insights into the application of Pre-ZVI/PMS that can be selectively used to eliminate tetracycline antibiotics from water.

Zero-valent iron based autotrophic denitrification (ZVI-AD) has attracted increasing attentions in nitrate removal due to saving organic carbon budget in wastewater treatment , but limited by the low reaction speed, poor electron transfer efficiency as well as the compaction/blocking by iron hydrolysis products. Humic substances (HS) were promising to regulate iron cycle and accelerate electron transfer by serving as electron mediators. In this study, HS analogue, antraquinone-2, 6-disulfonate (AQDS), was added to enhance ZVI-AD process. Results showed that the dosage of AQDS led to a NO 3 − -N removal efficiency of 83.37 ± 3.98% within 96 h, which was 32.28 ± 1.25% higher than that in ZVI-AD system. The corrosion of ZVI and microbially nitrate reduction were both improved at the presence of AQDS. The addition of AQDS enriched the functional species, including autotrophic denitrobacteria namely Thauera and Hydrogenophaga , iron redox-related species namely Ferruginibacter and HS respiration related species namely Flavobacterium . The genes napA and napB related to electron transfer, nirK and nosZ related to the accumulation of intermediate products were also enriched by the addition of AQDS. AQDS addition boosted the electrons flowing to both abiotic and biotic nitrate reduction. Nitrate removal mechanism involved in ZVI-AQDS coupled system was proposed. This study provided an alternative strategy for improving ZVI-AD by HS.

The utilization of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) in polybrominated diphenyl ethers remediation has been studied extensively. However, challenges in balancing cost and reactivity have been encountered. A submicron zero-valent iron coated with FeC 2 O 4 ·2 H 2 O layers (OX-smZVI) was synthesized via a mechanochemical method, aiming to resolve this contradiction. Characterization via SEM, TEM, and XPS confirmed the structure as FeC 2 O 4 ·2 H 2 O coated iron lamellate with a surface area 24-fold higher than ball-milled zero-valent iron (smZVI). XRD highlighted an Fe/C eutectic in OX-smZVI, boosting its electron transfer capacity . Decabromodiphenyl ether degradation by OX-smZVI follows a two-stage process, with initial degradation by FeC 2 O 4 ·2 H 2 O and a subsequent phase dominated by electron transfer . OX-smZVI exhibits a 4.52–34.40 times faster BDE209 removal rate than nZVI and scaled-up OX-smZVI displayed superior reactivity with preparation costs only 1/680 of nZVI. Given its enhanced reactivity and cost-efficiency, OX-smZVI emerges as a promising replacement for nZVI.
