Under xenon lamps, ZnFe2O4 (ZFO) has been shown to be effective in removing uranium through photocatalysis. However, its performance is still inadequate in low-light environments due to low photon utilization and high electron–hole complexation. Herein, S-doped hollow ZnFe2O4 microcubes (Sx-H-ZFO, x = 1, 3, 6, 9) were synthesized using the MOF precursor template method. The hollow morphology improves the utilization of visible light by refracting and reflecting the incident light multiple times within the confined domain. S doping narrows the band gap and shifts the conduction band position negatively, which enhances the separation, migration, and accumulation of photogenerated charges. Additionally, S doping increases the number of adsorption sites, ultimately promoting efficient surface reactions. Consequently, Sx-H-ZFO is capable of removing U(VI) in low-light environments. Under cloudy and rainy weather conditions, the photocatalytic rate of S3-H-ZFO was 100.31 μmol/(g·h), while under LED lamps (5000 Lux) it was 72.70 μmol/(g·h). More interestingly, a systematic mechanistic investigation has revealed that S doping replaces some of the oxygen atoms to enhance electron transfers and adsorption of O2. This process initiates the formation of hydrogen peroxide, which reacts directly with UO22+ to form solid studtite (UO2)O2·2H2O. Additionally, the promising magnetic separation capability of Sx-H-ZFO facilitates the recycling and reusability of the material. This work demonstrates the potential of ZnFe2O4 extraction uranium from nuclear wastewater.

The agglomeration of nanoparticles reduces the surface area and reactivity of nano zero-valent iron (NZVI). In this paper, highly dispersive and reactive NZVI immobilized in mesoporous silica microspheres covered with FeOOH was synthesized to form reactive mesoporous silica microspheres (SiO 2 @FeOOH@Fe). The characteristics of SiO 2 @FeOOH@Fe were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy simultaneous thermal analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunnaer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis. The mean particle size of the reactive mesoporous silica microspheres was 450 nm, and its specific surface area was 383.477 m 2 g −1 . The degradation of dcabromodiphenyl ether (BDE209) was followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, and the observed reaction rate constant could be improved by increasing the SiO 2 @FeOOH@Fe dosage and by decreasing the initial BDE209 concentration. The stability and longevity of the immobilized Fe nanoparticles were evaluated by repeatedly renewing the BDE209 solution in the reactor. The stable degradation of BDE209 by SiO 2 @FeOOH@Fe was observed within 10 cycles. Agglomeration-resistance and magnetic separation of SiO 2 @FeOOH@Fe were also performed. The improved dispersion of SiO 2 @FeOOH@Fe in solution after one-month storage and its good performance in magnetic separation indicated that SiO 2 @FeOOH@Fe has the potential to be efficiently applied to environmental remediation.

Fe 3 O 4 -based materials are widely used for magnetic separation from wastewater. However, they often suffer from Fe-leaching behavior under acidic conditions, decreasing their activity and limiting sustainable practical applications. In this study, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were used as the shell to protect the Fe 3 O 4 core, and the Fe 3 O 4 @COF core-shell composites were synthesized for As(III) removal from acid wastewater. The imine-linked COFs can in situ grow on the surface of the Fe 3 O 4 core layer by layer with [COFs/Fe 3 O 4 ] mol ratio of up to 2:1. The Fe-leaching behavior was weakened over a wide pH range of 1-13. Moreover, such composites keep their magnetic characteristic, making them favorable for nanomaterial separation. As(III) batch adsorption experiments results indicated that, when COFs are used as the shell for the Fe 3 O 4 core, a balance between As(III) removal efficiencies and the thickness of the COF shell exists. Higher As(III) removal efficiencies are obtained when the [COFs/Fe 3 O 4 ] mol ratios were < 1.5:1, but thicker COF shells were not beneficial for As(III) removal. Such composites also exhibited better As(III) removal performances in the pH range of 1–7. Over a wide pH range, the zeta potential of Fe 3 O 4 @COF core-shell composites becomes more positive, which benefits the capture of negative arsenic ions. In addition, thinner surface COFs were favorable for mass transfer and facilitating the reaction of Fe and As elements. Our study highlights the promise of using COFs in nanomaterial surface protection and achieving As(III) depth removal under acidic conditions.

Bacterial infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality to humans worldwide. Thus, a method for nonspecific, sensitive, and rapid enrichment of such bacteria is essential for bacteria detection and treatment. This study demonstrates a self-made core-shell Fe3O4@Polydopamine@Polyethyleneimine magnetic beads (Fe3O4@PDA@PEI MBs) with a high density positive charge-based magnetic separation scheme for the broad-spectrum rapid enrichment of microorganisms in the liquid phase. MBs with a high-density positive charge have a strong electrostatic attraction to most microorganisms in nature. Our scheme is as follows: (1) wrapping dopamine (DA) on the iron oxide through self-polymerization and wrapping PEI on the outermost shell layer in a mode of crosslinking with the PDA; (2) subsequently, the Fe3O4@PDA@PEI MBs were used to concentrate microorganisms from the sample solution; (3) performing magnetic separation and calculating the adsorption efficiency. The as-prepared Fe3O4@PDA@PEI MBs composite was carefully characterized by zeta potential analysis, Value stream-mapping (VSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transforms infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). In this study, both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria could be captured in three minutes through electrostatic interaction. Furthermore, the adsorption efficiency on gram-negative (>98%) is higher than that on gram-positive (>95%), allowing for a simple, rapid assay to enrich organisms in resource-limited settings.Keywords:magnetic beads;bacterial enrichment;magnetic separation;electrostatic interaction

Core–shell metal–organic framework materials have attracted considerable attention mainly due to their enhanced or new physicochemical properties compared with their single-component counterparts. In this work, a core–shell heterostructure of CoFe 2 O 4 -Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8@CoFe 2 O 4 ) is successfully fabricated and used as an solid-phase extraction adsorbent to efficiently extract Congo Red and Basic Red 2 dyes from contaminated aqueous solution. Vibrating sample magnetometry indicates that the saturated magnetization of ZIF-8@CoFe 2 O 4 is 3.3 emu/g, which is large enough for magnetic separation. The obtained hybrid magnetic metal-organic framework based material ZIF-8@CoFe 2 O 4 can remove the investigated dyes very fast within 1 min of the contact time. The adsorbent ZIF-8@CoFe 2 O 4 also shows a good reusability. After regeneration, the adsorbent can still exhibit high removal efficiency (∼97%) toward Congo Red for five cycles of desorption–adsorption. This work reveals the great potential of core–shell ZIF-8@CoFe 2 O 4 sorbents for the fast separation and preconcentration of organic pollutants in aqueous solution before high-performance liquid chromatography analysis.

Due to the presence of several hydroxyl and amino groups on the surface, chitosan (CS) has been reported to be a potential candidate to solve the pollution caused by dyes in different industrial wastewater. However, it is associated with the recycling issues. Nano-Fe 3 O 4 has the advantages of easy magnetic separation and surface functionalization, which can improve the efficiency as well as selectivity of separation. However, its tendency for agglomeration can reduce the adsorption capacity. MXene can provide suitable support for both CS and Fe 3 O 4 to construct new MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @CS composites. In this study, MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @CSmagnetic nanosphere was synthesized by ultrasonic self-assembly to remove Congo red (CR). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were employed to characterize the nanocomposites. According to the batch experiments, the adsorption kinetics were found to predominantly follow quasi-secondary rate kinetics. The adsorption followed Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption process was found to be endothermic, entropy-driven, and thermodynamically spontaneous process. The adsorption capacity for CR was estimated as 620.22 mg·g −1 .

Herein, we demonstrate a new class of core–shell magnetic carbon hybrid materials (Fe3O4@C) for remarkable adsorptive desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT), which have been successfully prepared through hydrocarbonization of glucose on the surface of Fe3O4 and the subsequent pyrolyzation process. The as-obtained Fe3O4@C retains amorphous nature of carbon shells with a large surface area and displays an increase of iron atoms as active sites under elevated pyrolyzation temperature which is favorable in the adsorption of sulfur-containing species through physical and chemical adsorption, respectively. We investigate the adsorption capacity and efficiency of Fe3O4@C as a magnetically adsorbent for the removal of DBT in model oils under various experimental conditions including the adsorbent obtained at different temperatures, the amount of adsorbents, the DBT initial concentration, the regeneration approach, as well as the interference species. Our results demonstrated that the as-obtained Fe3O4@C at 650 °C (Fe3O4@C-650) displays a remarkable estimated adsorption performance (57.5 mg DBT/g for 200 ppmw), extraordinary high desulfurization efficiency (99% for 200 ppmw), and a high selectivity for DBT compared with its derivatives. Moreover, Fe3O4@C can be recovered in a quite easy, economical, and eco-friendly manner by an external magnet after five cycles without significant weight loss, which significantly simplifies the operation procedure and favors the recycle of Fe3O4@C. Combined with the economic and eco-friendly merits, Fe3O4@C offers a new avenue to employ the magnetic carbon materials for industrial applications and provides a promising substitute for adsorptive desulfurization in view of academic, industrial, and environmental aspects.

A recyclable and high-efficiency nanoscale adsorbent is prepared from sustainable resources in this study. Inspired by the amino acid and phenolic hydroxyl group in reed root acting as active sites for adsorption, a chemically modified method is employed, where lignin is improved with glycine to prepare a biomimic adsorbent with a synergistic effect of amino acid and phenolic hydroxyl. By blending with nano-Fe3O4, the modified lignin is applied to synthesize lignin derivate magnetic nanogels that adsorb inorganic ions and organic dyes. The maximum capacities of the adsorption are highly improved, whereas unmodified lignin-based adsorbents reveal a low adsorption capacity under the same conditions. The used nanogels are recycled by magnetic separation and regenerated in hydrochloric acid, and the tests are repeated three times. All the regeneration ratios are over 90%, thus ensuring reusability. Finally, the as-prepared nanogels are applied to treat pulp bleaching effluents, revealing one potential application in industry. The designing concept of the recyclable nanogel in this study provides a biomimic strategy of using sustainable resources to treat contamination.

The specific enrichment of multi-phosphopeptides in the presence of non-phosphopeptides and mono-phosphopeptides was still a challenge for phosphoproteomics research. Most of these enrichment materials relied on Zn, Ti, Sn, and other rare precious metals as the bonding center to enrich multi-phosphopeptides while ignoring the use of common metal elements. The addition of rare metals increased the cost of the experiment, which was not conducive to their large-scale application in biomedical proteomics laboratories. In addition, multiple high-speed centrifugation steps also resulted in the loss of low-abundance multi-phosphopeptides in the treatment procedure of biological samples. This study proposed the use of calcium, a common element, as the central bonding agent for synthesizing magnetic calcium phosphate materials (designated as CaP-Fe 3 O 4 ). These materials aim to capture multi-phosphopeptides and identifying phosphorylation sites. The current results demonstrate that CaP-Fe 3 O 4 exhibited excellent selection specificity, high sensitivity, and stability in the enrichment of multi-phosphopeptides and the identification of phosphorylation sites. Additionally, the introduction of magnetic separation not only reduced the time required for multi-phosphopeptides enrichment but also prevented the loss of these peptides during high-speed centrifugation. These findings contribute to the widespread application and advancement of phosphoproteomics research.

Magnetic covalent organic framework modified by Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @COF) were facile synthesized and used as adsorbent for the adsorption of bisphenols from aqueous solutions. The Fe 3 O 4 @COF is synthesized by catalyst-free Schiff base reaction of melamine and terephthalaldehyde, and synthesis strategy is flexible and controllable. The as prepared Fe 3 O 4 @COF was characterized by TEM , PXRD , TGA and BET analysis. The Fe 3 O 4 @COF possessed large specific surface area (335.2 m 2 /g), high chemical and thermal stability, and high saturation magnetization (49.6 emu/g), which in favor of rapid magnetic separation and efficient adsorption in the adsorption process. The effects of temperature, adsorbent dosage, pH and salt concentration on the adsorption of bisphenols (BPA and BPAF) were studied. The as-prepared adsorbent showed an excellent adsorption ability for BPA and BPAF , and the max adsorption capacity of BPA and BPAF could reach 140 and 290.4 mg/g. The adsorption kinetic fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the adsorption isotherm followed the Freundlich isotherm equation. Moreover, the Fe 3 O 4 @COF presented favorable re-use performance, which kept over 81.4% removal efficiency of bisphenols after five consecutive recycles. The high adsorption performance and reusability make the Fe 3 O 4 @COF a promising adsorbent for the removal of bisphenols.

Solar power, as an important source of renewable energy during the recent years, holds a great potential to produce vapor. Solar-assisted evaporation systems usually rely on the concentration of nanofluids and the intensity of solar illumination. However, the nanofluids used in these systems can cause secondary pollution. These issues severely limit large-scale application of the solar evaporation technology. In this study, we developed a solar thermal evaporation system based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated with magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @CNT), which could be separated from water under the action of a magnetic force. The two components (with different ratios) of these Fe 3 O 4 @CNT differed in their magnetic and thermal properties. A high evaporation efficiency (60.3%) was obtained with a 0.5 g/L Fe 3 O 4 @CNT nanofluid under a solar illumination power of 10 sun (1 sun = 1 kW·m −2 ), which was achieved by heating the nanofluid locally rather than by increasing the temperature in bulk. A thermal receiver efficiency of 88.7% was obtained with a 0.5 g/L Fe 3 O 4 @CNT nanofluid under a solar illumination power of 1 sun achieved by a bulk temperature increase. The Fe 3 O 4 @CNT nanoparticles could be separated from water at a rate faster than that of the Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. The recovery rate of the Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and Fe 3 O 4 @CNT ranged from 97.9% to 98.7%. The Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles in Fe 3 O 4 @CNT enhance their ability to absorb the solar energy, thus making it higher than that of CNTs. The recovery rate and efficiency could be controlled by adjusting the magnetic field strength and the ratio of Fe 3 O 4 and CNTs. Thus, this system study provides an approach to not only significantly reduce the material consumption in the design of solar evaporators, but also to realize broad solar energy applications such as seawater desalination and vapor generation.

A functionalized magnetic nickel ferrite/manganese dioxide (NiFe 2 O 4 /MnO 2 ) with 3D hierarchical flower-like and core–shell structure was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal approach and applied for the removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to study the effect of solution pH, initial Pb(II) concentration, and dose of absorbents on the Pb(II) removal by NiFe 2 O 4 /MnO 2 . The NiFe 2 O 4 /MnO 2 nanocomposites showed the fast Pb(II) adsorption performance with the maximum adsorption capacity of 85.78 mg g −1 . The adsorption kinetics of Pb(II) onto NiFe 2 O 4 /MnO 2 obeyed a pseudo-second-order model. The isothermal experimental results indicated that the Langmuir model was fitted better than the Freundlich model, illustrating a monolayer adsorption process for Pb(II) onto NiFe 2 O 4 /MnO 2 . Meanwhile, the NiFe 2 O 4 /MnO 2 was easily separated from the solution by an external magnet within a short period of time and still exhibited almost 80% removal capacity after six regenerations. The NiFe 2 O 4 /MnO 2 is expected to be a new promising adsorbent for heavy metal removal.
