Membrane distillation (MD) offers promise for recycling shale gas produced water (SGPW), while membrane fouling is still a major obstacle in standalone MD. Herein, sodium percarbonate (SPC) oxidation was proposed as MD pretreatment, and the performance of the single MD, SPC-MD hybrid process and Fe(II)/SPC-MD hybrid process for SGPW treatment were systematically evaluated. Results showed that compared to raw SGPW, the application of SPC and Fe(II)/SPC led to the decrease of the fluorescent organics by 28.54 % and 54.52 %, respectively. The hydrophobic fraction decreased from 52.75 % in raw SGPW to 37.70 % and 27.20 % for SPC and Fe(II)/SPC, respectively, and the MD normalized flux increased from 0.19 in treating raw SGPW to 0.65 and 0.81, respectively. The superiority of SPC oxidation in reducing the deposited membrane foulants and restoring membrane properties was further confirmed through scanning electron microscopy observation, attenuated total reflection fourier transform infrared, water contact angle and surface tension analyses of fouled membranes. Correlation analysis revealed that hydrophobic/hydrophilic matters and fluorescent organics in SGPW took a crucial role in MD fouling. The mechanism of MD fouling mitigation by Fe(II)/SPC oxidation was attributed to the decrease in concentrations and hydrophobicity of organic by synergistic oxidation, coagulation and adsorption.

2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is a toxic and harmful organic intermediate widely used in industrial production. Recently, the utilization of nano-zero-valent iron (NZVI) for 2,4-DCP treatment has gained significant popularity, but the deactivation and agglomeration of NZVI always appear and continue to present challenges. To address these issues, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and noble metal catalyst Pd are used as stabilizers to improve the removal efficiency of NZVI on 2,4-DCP. The CMC-modified nanoscale Pd/Fe bimetal (CMC-Pd/Fe) particles were prepared by the liquid phase reduction method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the addition of Pd and CMC succeeded in ameliorating the aggregation of NZVI. A five-level-four-factor central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the removal of 2,4-DCP by CMC-Pd/Fe and explored the factors influencing the removal of 2,4-DCP, including the amount of catalyst, the initial pH of the system, the time of reaction, and the initial concentration of 2,4-DCP. A statistically significant and well-fitting quadratic regression model was successfully constructed to predict 2,4-DCP removal efficiency. The high F -value of 14.35, very low p- value (<0.0001), nonsignificant Lack of Fit, and appropriate coefficient of determination of 0.9399 demonstrate a good correlation between the experimental and predicted values of the proposed model. The analyses of variance reveal catalyst amount and reaction time have a positive effect on the removal efficiency of 2,4-DCP and the CMC-Pd/Fe catalyst amount shows the most apparent significance, with PC (percent contribution) greater than 26. Conversely, pH and 2,4-DCP concentration have a negative impact on the removal process. The optimum condition is 1.10 g/L of catalyst amount, 5.63 of pH, 2.31 h of reaction time, and 20 mg/L of initial 2,4-DCP concentration. The validation results from parallel experiments showed that the average removal efficiency of 2,4-DCP reached 96.32% under the optimal conditions.

Biological antioxidants play a crucial role in numerous disease-related biological processes, which has led to significant interest in their identification. In this research, a colorimetric sensor array was created. It uses MIL-53 (Fe, Mn) nanozymes to simultaneously detect multiple antioxidants. The bimetallic nanozymes, MIL-53(Fe, Mn), were synthesized by using a solvent-thermal method. This framework demonstrated notable oxidase-like catalytic ability. In particular, it facilitates the conversion of colorless TMB to a blue compound under different pH conditions. When antioxidants were introduced into the reaction system, the sensor array exhibited cross-reactivity, resulting in distinct color signals. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was successfully utilized to precisely identify the different concentrations of cysteine (CYS), glutathione (GSH), dopamine (DA), and ascorbic acid (AA) and their combinations. This method enabled accurate determination of the amounts of these substances both individually and in mixtures, providing a reliable way to analyze their concentrations in an experimental context. Furthermore, the prepared sensor array combined with the smartphone successfully distinguished the target antioxidants in the serum. The proposed sensing method would be expected to have practical applications in diagnosis.

It is of great significance to establish an effective method for removing Cr(VI) from wastewater. Herein, Fe-doped g-C 3 N 4 (namely Fe-g–C 3 N 4 –2) was synthesized and then employed as photocatalyst to conduct the test of Cr(VI) reduction. Notably, the embedding of Fe ion in g-C 3 N 4 can offer the Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ redox couples, so reducing the interfacial resistance of charge transfer and suppressing the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. The impurity energy levels will form in g-C 3 N 4 after the introduction of Fe ion , thereby boosting the light absorption capacity of catalyst. Thus, Fe-g–C 3 N 4 –2 showed good performance in photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction, and the reduction efficiency of Cr(VI) can reach 39.9% within 40 min. Different with many previous studies, current work unexpectedly found that the addition of p -benzoquinone (BQ) can promote the Cr(VI) reduction, and the reduction efficiency of Cr(VI) over Fe-g–C 3 N 4 –2 was as high as 93.2% in the presence of BQ (1.5 mM). Further analyses showed that BQ can be reduced to hydroquinone (HQ) by photogenerated electrons, and UV light can also directly induce BQ to generate HQ by using H 2 O as the hydrogen donor . The HQ with reducing ability can accelerate the Cr(VI) reduction. In short, current work shared some novel insights into photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction in the presence of BQ. Future research should consider possible reactions between photogenerated electrons and BQ. For the UV-induced photocatalysis , the suitability of BQ as the scavenger of O 2 •‒ must be given carefully consideration.

This study addresses the challenge of designing simple and environmentally friendly methods for the preparation of effective electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials with tailored microstructures and multi-component regulation. N, O doped walnut-like porous carbon composite microspheres loaded with FeCo nanoparticles (WPCM/Fe–Co) are synthesized through high-temperature carbonization combined with soap-free emulsion polymerization and hydrothermal methods, avoiding the use of toxic solvents and complex conditions. The incorporation of magnetic components enhances magnetic loss, complementing dielectric loss to optimize EMW attenuation. The unique walnut-like morphology further improves impedance matching. The proportions of Fe and Co components can be adjusted to regulate the material's reflection loss, thickness, and bandwidth, allowing for fine-tuning of absorption performance. At a low filling ratio (16.7%), the optimal WPCM/Fe–Co composites exhibit a minimum reflection loss ( RL min ) of −48.34 dB (10.33 GHz, 3.0 mm) and an overall effective absorbing bandwidth (EAB) covering the entire C bands, X bands, and Ku bands. This work introduces a novel approach to composition regulation and presents a green synthesis method for magnetic carbon composite absorbers with high-performance EMW absorption at low loading.

The development of microfluidic flow injection analysis (FIA) system for simultaneous and real-time detection of multiple metal ions is of great importance for environmental monitoring, food safety and industrial field. In this work, a multiplexed microfluidic chip based FIA system was fabricated for simultaneous determination of three metal ions, by using Fe(III), Mn(II) and Cu(II) as models. The multiplexed microfluidic chip based FIA system is composed of three parts, including a multi-channel FIA system for solution manipulation, a group of microfluidic chips for reagents mixing and reaction, and one fiber optic spectrometer for fast and real-time absorbance signal detection. The sample solution and chromogenic reagents were injected into the microfluidic chips to carry out specific colorimetric reactions. Fe(III), Mn(II) and Cu(II) reacts with 5-sulfosalicylic acid, formaldoxime, and bis(cyclohexanone) oxalyldihydrazone, respectively, to generate orange, ember and blue colored solution with peak absorbance at 420 nm, 450 nm, and 600 nm, respectively. The absorbance signal of the generated three channels of solution can be sequentially detected by using only one mini spectrometer. The linear detection range for Fe(III), Mn(II) and Cu(II) is 0.1–20 mg/L, 0.1–12 mg/L and 0.2–12 mg/L, respectively. The limit of detection for Fe(III), Mn(II) and Cu(II) is 0.07, 0.02 and 0.1 mg/L respectively. And the limit of quantification for Fe(III), Mn(II) and Cu(II) is 0.2, 0.07 and 0.3 mg/L, respectively. The recoveries of spiked Fe (III), Mn (II), and Cu (II) in real water samples are between 95.3 % to 106 %. Finally, the developed microfluidic chip based FIA system was successfully applied to simultaneous determination of three metal ions in environmental water samples and zinc smelting solution from zinc hydrometallurgy industry with satisfied results.

Active Fe- and Mn-loaded MCM-41 (Fe–Mn/MCM-41), which was synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction followed by impregnation, is used in the heterogeneous Fenton reaction to degrade methyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution. The synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N 2 adsorption–desorption isotherm analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Compared with Fe/MCM-41 and Mn/MCM-41, Fe–Mn/MCM-41 showed higher activity for MO degradation and mineralization. Effects of various operating parameters, such as pH, Mn content, and H 2 O 2 dosage, on the degradation process were subsequently investigated. Results of experiments on the effect of radical scavengers revealed that the degradation of MO could be attributed to oxidation by HO·. The synergy of Fe and Mn species in the Fenton oxidation process was also explained.

A novel, rapid and simple method is described for the synthesis of magnetic MIL-100(Fe) with novel Fe3O4 morphology, which significantly improved the sustainability of conventional fabrication processes in several aspects. The magnetic MOFs were prepared (i) in one pot (instead of multiple steps), (ii) at room temperature (instead of temperatures over 150 °C), (iii) within a few hours with excellent yield (instead of in few days with low productivity) and (iv) in the absence of any corrosive inorganic acid and organic reagent. The materials were tested in the industrially demanded photocatalytic and photo-Fenton degradation of sodium sulfadiazine. The degradation results indicated that the Fe3O4 nanorods could accelerate the catalytic efficiency. The catalyst would be of potential application due to its stable catalytic activity in repeated reaction cycles and no need for regeneration. Therefore, the MIL-100(Fe) and magnetic MIL-100(Fe) proposed in this study are ideal catalysts for the heterogeneous degradation of sodium sulfadiazine.

Transition metal/nitrogen/carbon (M-N/C) catalysts are considered as one of the most promising candidates to replace Pt/C catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs). Here, we have designed novel reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-supported Fe–N-doped carbon (Fe–N–C/rGO) catalysts via simple pyrolysis of polypyrrole (Ppy)–FeO–GO composites. The as-prepared catalysts induced an onset potential of 0.94 V and a half-wave potential of 0.81 V in alkaline solutions, which is much better than those of the counterpart N–C and N–C/rGO catalysts and comparable to that of Pt/C catalysts. Moreover, the Fe–N–C/rGO catalysts showed improved durability and higher tolerance against methanol crossover than Pt/C in alkaline solutions. This superior ORR performance can be ascribed to the combined catalytic effect of both Fe-based nanoparticles (Fe3O4, Fe4C) and Fe–Nx sites, as well as fast mass transfer and accessible active sites benefiting from the mesoporous structure and high specific surface area. This work provides new insight for synthesis of a more promising nonplatinum electrocatalyst for metal–air batteries and fuel-cell applications.

Iron nitrides are considered as highly promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries because of their nontoxicity, high abundance, low cost, and higher electrical conductivity . Unfortunately, their limited synthesis routes are available and practical application is still hindered by their fast capacity decay. Herein, a facile and green route is developed to synthesize Fe 4 N/Fe 2 O 3 /Fe/porous N-doped carbon nanosheet composite. The size of Fe 4 N/Fe 2 O 3 /Fe particles is small (10–40 nm) and they are confined in porous N-doped carbon nanosheet. These features are conducive to accommodate volume change well, shorten the diffusion distance and further elevate electrical conductivity. When tested as anode material for lithium-ion batteries, a high discharge capacity of 554 mA h g −1 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g −1 and 389 mA h g −1 after 300 cycles at 1000 mA g −1 are retained. Even at 2000 mA g −1 , a high capacity of 330 mA h g −1 can be achieved, demonstrating superior cycling stability and rate performance. New prospects will be brought by this work for the synthesis and the potential application of iron nitrides materials as an anode for LIBs.

Freshly prepared carbonate structural Fe(II) (CSF) was used to immobilize As(III) and As(V) in wastewater under oxic and anoxic conditions. Dissolved oxygen was found to exert opposite effects on these two arsenic species. The sorption density of As(III) was higher under oxic conditions, whereas that of As(V) was higher under anoxic conditions. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopic analyses indicated that crystalline parasymplesite (Fe(II) 3 (AsO 4 ) 2 ·8H 2 O) was formed when As(V) was removed under anoxic conditions, while an amorphous Fe-As-containing precipitate was formed when As(III) was removed under oxic conditions. The distribution of arsenic and iron between the solution and sediments suggested that the oxidation of structural Fe(II) promoted coprecipitation process and inhibited surface complexation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analyses revealed that more As(III) was oxidized under oxic condition, which contributed to a higher sorption capacity for As(III). The formation of parasymplesite through surface complexation/precipitation was proposed to be more effective for the removal of As(V) by CSF, while As(III) was more efficiently removed through coprecipitation. Together, the results suggest that CSF may be an effective material for sequestering both As(III) and As(V). In addition, attention should be paid to the dissolved oxygen content when remediating different arsenic species.

Ni/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles have been widely used as strong reductants to degrade organic pollutants. Synthesis parameters of Ni/Fe nanoparticles can directly affect their characteristics and reactivity. In this study, Ni/Fe nanoparticles were prepared at different synthesis conditions, namely, synthesizing temperature, stirring rate, washing solutions, and preparation methods (post-coated and co-reducted Ni/Fe nanoparticles), and investigated their effectiveness of decabrominated diphenyl ether (BDE209) degradation. The results showed that the successive order of factors affecting the kinetics constant of Ni/Fe nanoparticles for the removal of decabrominated diphenyl ether (BDE209) were preparation methods, washing solutions, stirring rate, and synthesis temperature. It should be noted that the kinetics constants of post-coated Ni/Fe nanoparticles for removal of BDE209 was 0.049 min −1 , which was 14 times higher than that of co-reducted Ni/Fe nanoparticles. Moreover, the most remarkable influence on the particle size of Ni/Fe nanoparticles was the stirring rate, others synthesis conditions are mentioned in the following order: washing solutions > preparation methods > synthesis temperature. Interestingly, the effects of synthesis condition on the crystalline structure of Ni/Fe were weak. The results may facilitate more effective application of Ni/Fe nanoparticles for degradation of BDE209.
