The harmful impact of organic pollutants on aquatic ecosystems underscores the pressing need for effective remediation. While activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) with Fe catalyst offers a promising approach for eliminating these pollutants, its widespread use is hindered by the sluggish regeneration of Fe 2+ from Fe 3+ . Here, this study demonstrates for the first time that combining an Fe catalyst with Mo 2 C (Fe-Mo 2 C) enhances the Fe³⁺/Fe 2 ⁺ cycle, thereby improving PMS activation. The Fe-Mo 2 C/PMS system achieved near-complete degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ) within only 8 minutes, with an impressive observed rate constant ( k obs ) of up to 0.624 min -1 , about 15 times greater than that of Fe-C catalyst. It also exhibits the capability to degrade a broad range of common antibiotics, phenols, and dye-like organic compounds. Through electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis and quenching experiments, it was verified that hydroxyl radicals (·OH), sulfate radicals (SO 4 ·- ), singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), and superoxide radicals (·O 2 - ) species during the reaction, with the former three serving as the primary active species. These findings offer a hopeful avenue for the systematic development and enhancement of catalysts specifically designed to efficiently remediate organic pollutants in wastewater.

A green efficient strategy for the combination of biodegradation and adsorption methods is urgently desired nowadays to degrade dyes in an economical and effective way. In this study, a kind of novel, environmentally friendly and efficient hybrid for the fungus and chitosan–Fe membrane has been fabricated by the alginate approach. Myrothecium verrucaria I-5 and C-1, deuteromycete fungi capable of producing laccase to degrade dyes, have been used. It is found that the chitosan–Fe membrane can excellently immobilize the fungi mycelia and enzyme, and after the immobilization, the fungi and enzyme still maintain a high activity after the dye decolorization. Also, the immobilized fungi membranes have been proved to have a high efficiency for dye decolorization. Simultaneously, the decolorization ability of the crude enzymes, which are extracted from I-5 and C-1 medium, and the decolorization ability of chitosan–Fe membrane are also investigated, respectively. The results demonstrate that the dyes can be removed by the fungi and the membrane synergistically. In addition, different kinds of dyes are successfully removed with chitosan–Fe immobilized fungi membranes. These results demonstrate that dyes are first adsorbed on the chitosan–Fe membrane, decreasing the toxicity to the fungus, and then bio-degraded by the laccase produced from the fungi on the membrane.

Phenol is one of the most important chemicals in industry. One-step selective benzene hydroxylation is an attractive yet challenging method for phenol production, especially when such a reaction can be driven by solar energy. Herein, we reported that a highly selective benzene hydroxylation to phenol can be achieved over two Fe-based metal–organic frameworks [MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-68(Fe)] under visible light irradiations using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidant. An optimal benzene conversion of 30.6% was achieved with a H2O2:benzene ratio of 3:4 over MIL-100(Fe) after 24 h irradiations. ESR results and the kinetic studies suggested that a successful coupling of the photocatalysis of Fe–O clusters in Fe-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with a Fenton-like route is involved in this benzene hydroxylation process. The comparison of the reaction over MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-68(Fe) reveals that the structure of MOFs significantly influences the photocatalytic efficiency. Because the composition and the structure of MOFs are highly tunable, this study highlights the great potential of using Fe-based MOFs for photocatalytic benzene hydroxylation to form phenol, which may result in an economical, sustainable, and thus green process for phenol production.

γ-Al 2 O 3 supported Manganese and Ferric oxide (Mn-Fe/Al 2 O 3 ) were synthesized and used as catalyst for ozonation of bisphenol A (BPA) in aqueous solution. It was conducted in a semi-batch reactor under different operational conditions, i.e., varying initial pH, ozone flow rate, initial BPA concentration and catalyst dosage. The results indicated that the presence of Mn-Fe/Al 2 O 3 lead to a great enhancement in ozonation of BPA. Using 5 g/L Mn-Fe/Al 2 O 3 evaluated BPA (50 mg/L) removal efficiency up to 84.1% under particular reaction conditions, while that of the single ozonation process was 48.5%. The influence of tert-butanol demonstrated that initiation of hydroxyl radicals was involved and plays an important role in catalytic ozonation. The decrement of solution pH in catalytic ozonation was much higher than that in ozone alone, indicating much small molecule acids produced in catalytic ozonation process. The repeated use the Mn-Fe/Al 2 O 3 proved that it had a good reusability and stability.

The ability of Fe(II)-activated calcium peroxide (CaO 2 ) to remove benzene is examined with a series of batch experiments. The results showed that benzene concentrations were reduced by 20–100% within 30 min. The magnitude of removal was dependent on the CaO 2 /Fe(II)/Benzene molar ratio, with much greater destruction observed for ratios of 4/4/1 or greater. An empirical equation was developed to quantify the destruction rate dependence on reagent composition. The presence of oxidative hydroxyl radicals (HO ) and reductive radicals (primarily O 2 − ) was identified by probe compound testing and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests. The results of the EPR tests indicated that the application of CaO 2 /Fe(II) enabled the radical intensity to remain steady for a relatively long time. The effect of initial solution pH was also investigated, and CaO 2 /Fe(II) enabled benzene removal over a wide pH range of 3.0–9.0. The results of radical scavenging tests showed that benzene removal occurred primarily by HO oxidation in the CaO 2 /Fe(II) system, although reductive radicals also contributed. The intermediates in benzene destruction were identified to be phenol and biphenyl. The results indicate that Fe(II)-activated CaO 2 is a feasible approach for treatment of benzene in contaminated groundwater remediation.

Complete degradation of benzene by the Fe(III)-activated sodium percarbonate (SPC) system is demonstrated. Removal of benzene at 1.0 mM was seen within 160 min, depending on the molar ratios of SPC to Fe(III). A mechanism of benzene degradation was elaborated by free-radical probe-compound tests, free-radical scavengers tests, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis, and determination of Fe(II) and H 2 O 2 concentrations. The degradation products were also identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method. The hydroxyl radical (HO ) was the leading species in charge of benzene degradation. The formation of HO was strongly dependent on the generation of the organic compound radical (R ) and superoxide anion radical (O 2 − ). Benzene degradation products included hydroxylated derivatives of benzene (phenol, hydroquinone, benzoquinone, and catechol) and aliphatic acids (oxalic and fumaric acids). The proposed degradation pathways are consistent with radical formation and identified products. The investigation of selected matrix constituents showed that the Cl − and HCO 3 − had inhibitory effects on benzene degradation. Natural organic matter (NOM) had accelerating influence in degrading benzene. The developed system was tested with groundwater samples and it was found that the Fe(III)-activated SPC has a great potential in effective remediation of benzene-contaminated groundwater while more further studies should be done for its practical application in the future because of the complex subsurface environment.

Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts with high activity, low cost and good durability are crucial to promote the large-scale practical application of fuel cells. Particularly, iron carbide (Fe 3 C) supported on nitrogen-doped carbon has recently demonstrated compelling promise for ORR electrocatalysis . In this paper, we report the facile synthesis of mesoporous Fe/N-doped graphene with encapsulated Fe 3 C nanoparticles (Fe 3 C@Fe/N-graphene) and its superior ORR catalytic activity . This hybrid material was synthesized by the spontaneous oxidative polymerization of dopamine on graphene oxide (GO) sheets in the presence of iron ion , followed by thermal annealing in Argon (Ar) atmosphere. As-prepared material shows high ORR catalytic activity with overwhelming four-electron reduction pathway, long-term durability and high methanol tolerance in alkaline media . This work reports a facile method to synthesize promising ORR electrocatalysis with multiple components and hierarchical architecture, and may offer valuable insight into the underlying mechanism of Fe 3 C-boosted ORR activity of Fe/N doped carbon.

Abstract In this work, the synthesis of Co–Fe–Se ultrathin nanosheet-fabricated microspheres was reported for the first time as electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The Co–Fe–Se ternary compounds exhibited high electrocatalytic activity of HER with low onset potential in acid media due to the high specific surface area of Co–Fe–Se ultrathin nanosheet-fabricated microspheres. The presence of multiwall carbon nanotubes improved the immobilization effect of Co–Fe–Se catalysts and electron transfer between catalysts and electrode surface, leading to the improved stability and HER electrocatalysis. The non-noble metal-based ternary compounds of Co–Fe–Se obtained from earth-abundant elements may enlighten a new way of exploring cost-effective catalysts for HER to develop hydrogen energy.

Amino functional dicationic ionic liquid (AFDCIL) was prepared and then coated on the surface of magnetic graphene oxide (GO) as a new magnetic adsorbent (Fe@GO@AFDCIL) for the magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of protein. The Fe@GO@AFDCIL composite was characterized by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and zeta-potential nanoparticles . The bovine hemoglobin (BHb) was used as the analyte, and the extraction performance of Fe@GO@AFDCIL was investigated in the MSPE procedure. The concentration of BHb in samples was determined by a UV–vis spectrophotometer. A comparative investigation of Fe@GO@AFDCIL composite and traditional IL-coated Fe@GO composites (Fe@GO@IL) exhibited the benefits of Fe@GO@AFDCIL. The adsorbed BHb could be eluted from the Fe@GO@AFDCIL by 4% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution. The Fe@GO@AFDCIL exhibited favorable stability which could be reused at least 15 times. Under the optimized condition, the real samples were investigated, which demonstrated that the Fe@GO@AFDCIL was able to be applied in extracting bovine hemoglobin (BHb) from real biological samples.

In this study, an electrochemical/electro-Fenton oxidation (EC/EF) system was designed to degrade atrazine, by utilizing boron-doped diamond (BDD) and Fe@Fe 2 O 3 core-shell nanowires loaded active carbon fiber (Fe@Fe 2 O 3 /ACF) as the anode and the cathode, respectively. This EC/EF system exhibited much higher degradation rate, decholorination and mineralization efficiency of atrazine than the electrochemical (EC) and electrochemical/traditional electro-Fenton (EC/TEF) oxidation counterpart systems without Fe@Fe 2 O 3 core-shell nanowires. Active species trapping experiment revealed that Fe@Fe 2 O 3 could activate molecular oxygen to produce more OH through Fenton reaction, which favored the atrazine degradation. High performance liquid chromatography , high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were applied to probe the decomposition and mineralization of atrazine during this novel EC/EF process, which revealed that two intermediates of triazinons (the isomerization of hydroxylated atrazine) were generated during the electrochemical/electro-Fenton oxidation of atrazine in the presence of Fe@Fe 2 O 3 core-shell nanowires. The experimental and theoretical calculation results suggested that atrazine might be degraded via a triazinon ring opening mechanism, while the presence of Fe@Fe 2 O 3 notably accelerated the decholorination process, and produced more hydroxylated products to promote the generation of trazinons and the subsequent ring cleavage as well as the final complete mineralization. This work provides a deep insight into the triazine ring opening mechanism and the design of efficient electrochemical advanced oxidation technologies (EAOTs) for persistent organic pollutant removal .

A series of BaFe 1− x Sn x O 3− δ catalysts were prepared by sol-gel method and tested for N 2 O decomposition to shed light on the effect of B-site substitution on the catalytic behavior of perovskite catalysts. 119 Sn and 57 Fe Mössbauer results confirmed that the 5-fold coordinated Fe 3+ cations with one adjacent oxygen vacancy (Fe 3+ O 5 ) were the main active centers for N 2 O decomposition. Doping of Sn cations can significantly improve the percentage of Fe 3+ O 5 from 30% ( x = 0) to 68% ( x = 0.8). More importantly, the valence state of Fe could be gradually reduced due to weakening of Fe O bond with increasing the Sn content, which was attributed to the stronger force of Sn than Fe in Fe O Sn structure to draw the oxygen anion and expansion of unit cell volume. Such change of Fe chemical state favored the oxygen mobility of the catalyst, leading to reduction in activation energy for N 2 O decomposition from ca. 241 ( x = 0) to 178 kJ mol −1 ( x = 0.8). BaFe 0.2 Sn 0.8 O 3− δ catalyst exhibited the highest intrinsic rate of 1.49 s −1 (550 °C), nearly 4 times larger than that of BaFeO 3− δ (0.43 s −1 ).

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are emerging contaminants, which are ubiquitous and pose the potential risk to ecosystem and human health. It is necessary to remove PPCPs from water and wastewater. In this study, sulfamethoxazole, a widely used antibiotic, was chosen as targeted pollutant. Fenton process and persulfate process were employed to remove sulfamethoxazole from aqueous solution. The results showed that Fenton process required less amount of Fe(II) and oxidant than persulfate process to achieve 100% removal of sulfamethoxazole in the water sample prepared with de-ionized water. The maximal mineralization reached 83% when hydrogen peroxide concentration was 1 mM and Fe(II) was 0.05 mM for Fenton process. The maximal mineralization for persulfate process was 60% with 4 mM of persulfate and 4 mM of Fe(II). The increase of Fe(II) concentration could increase the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and persulfate, but did not increase the mineralization of sulfamethoxazole, indicating that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and persulfate was not positive correlation with the removal and mineralization of sulfamethoxazole. Five intermediate compounds were detected in Fenton process while eight intermediate compounds in persulfate process, suggesting that different degradation pathway occurred in the two processes. The wastewater components had negative effect on the degradation of sulfamethoxazole for both Fenton and persulfate processes. The removal efficiency of sulfamethoxazole was 52.5% and 52.3%, respectively, for Fenton and persulfate processes. Persulfate process could be an alternative for treating the real wastewater containing PPCPs.
