To achieve efficient upgrading and clean utilization of lignite-derived tar, an integrated zeolite modification strategy based on deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was developed, in which a Fe-based DES system was constructed with FeCl 3 ·6 H 2 O and CF 3 COOH. This DES realized the simultaneous acid modification and metal incorporation of ultrastable Y (USY) zeolite, thereby simplifying the catalyst preparation process. Characterization results revealed that DES treatment at an optimal molar ratio of 1:9 preserved the structural integrity of the Faujasite framework while inducing a hierarchical “micropore-sacrifice/mesopore-compensation” architecture. Meanwhile, Fe species were introduced uniformly, leading to the reduction of Brønsted acid sites and the enhancement of Lewis acid sites, thereby constructing multifunctional catalytic centers with synergistic acidity and redox activity. Mechanistic analysis demonstrated that DES-induced mesoporosity enhanced mass transfer and diffusion, while the cooperation between Fe redox sites and Lewis acid sites facilitated C-C and C-O bond cleavage as well as aromatization reactions. In the fixed-bed pyrolysis of NMH lignite, the optimized catalyst exhibited superior catalytic performance: the light oil fraction in tar increased from 16.86 % to 27.94 %, the relative content of light tar reached 75.61 %, gas yield reached 21.53 %, and PAHs content dropped sharply. Furthermore, the catalyst was confirmed to possess superior reusability in successive runs. This study highlights DES as tunable functional media, serving as an efficient platform for the integrated regulation of zeolite structure, acidity, and activity. Consequently, it provides a novel strategy for fabricating high-performance modified molecular sieve catalysts, which are applicable to the clean and value-added conversion of coal pyrolysis tar.

Developing efficient nitrate removal technologies is crucial for ensuring the safety of drinking water, a polypyrrole-grafted activated carbon (PPy-AC) was synthesized via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization to enhance nitrate adsorption from water. It was showed that the PPy-AC composite featured a maximum adsorption capacity of 13.36 mg NO 3 − -N/g and exhibited high selectivity toward nitrate in the presence of co-existing anions. The PPy-AC composite exhibited a considerable capacity for adsorbing nitrate over a wide pH range of 3.0–9.0. The absorption performances were well-fitted by the Redlich-Peterson isotherm model, and the adsorption kinetics were well-described by the pseudo-second-order equation. Furthermore, the mass and charge balance calculations showed that 8.4% of the nitrogen atoms in the PPy-AC facilitated the adsorption of nitrate. The mechanisms of nitrate removal by the PPy-AC composite were determined through the electrostatic attraction and ion-exchange process, in which the nitrate ions are replaced by doped chloride ions, and the other N + sites in PPy were occupied by nitrate ions. The PPy-AC is a promising material for the nitrate removal from wastewater.

N,N-Diethyl-3-methyl benzoyl amide (DEET) has been detected as an emerging pollutant in various water bodies because of its widespread use as an insect repellent. In this study, the combination of UV-LED 275 and iron-containing coagulant (FeCl 3 ) was used for the elimination of DEET in water. It was found that UV-LED 275 /FeCl 3 (98 %) system presented a favorable removal of DEET compared with UV 254 /FeCl 3 (59 %) and UV-LED 275 /Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 (81 %) processes at initial pH 3.5. DEET degradation by both UV-LED 275 /FeCl 3 and UV-LED 275 /Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 processes followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with the calculated pseudo-first-order rate constants ( k obs ) of 0.0105 and 0.0046 cm 2 mJ −1 , respectively. The results of ESR analysis and radicals quenching experiments indicated that hydroxyl radicals ( OH) and superoxide radicals (O 2 − ) were responsible for DEET degradation in UV-LED 275 /FeCl 3 process, and the former played the major role. An increase in FeCl 3 dosage was beneficial to the degradation. In the UV-LED 275 /FeCl 3 process, DEET degradation increased with a decrease in pH from 3.5 to 3.0, whereas it was almost completely suppressed with an increase in pH from 4.3 to 6.3. DEET degradation was almost unchanged after the introduction of NO 3 − , and it impeded after the addition of humic acid (HA), HCO 3 − , and SO 4 2− . The plausible degradation pathway mainly involved hydroxylation, cleavage of the C–N bond, acetylation , and dealkylation. Among the disinfection by-products (DBPs) evaluated, UV-LED 275 /FeCl 3 pretreatment generally increased the generation of trichloromethane, chloral hydrate, dichloroacetic acid, and trichloroacetic acid, which implied that further assessment of environmental risk was needed during its practical applications.

The use of Fe 3+ salts for leaching spent LiFePO 4 (LFP) batteries is gaining attention due to its mild, eco-friendly conditions. However, efficient Fe/Li separation remains challenging, as precipitation causes Li loss or impurity introduction, and conventional solvent extraction offers low Li efficiency (∼80 %) and complex processes. This study employed data mining and theoretical analysis to rapidly identify a synergistic P204/N235 extraction system. A closed-loop process coupling H 3 PO 4 stripping and FePO 4 precipitation was developed, achieving 99.45 % Fe removal and only 1.25 % Li loss in a single extraction stage. The Fe/Li separation factor reached 14,243. During stripping, Fe recovery reached 95 % in one stage. The aqueous phase over 10 stripping cycles was reused for FePO 4 preparation, and the raffinate was retained for Li recovery. This integrated approach enables efficient Fe/Li separation and high-value resource utilization from LFP leachates.

Digestate-derived biochar (BC) and an FeCl 3 /KOH-modified biochar (FKBC) were evaluated for ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal from nutrient-rich wastewater. FeCl 3 /KOH modification increased the specific surface area from 76.3 to 176.1 m 2 /g and introduced abundant oxygen-containing functional groups with dispersed Fe O coordination sites. Consequently, FKBC exhibited a Langmuir adsorption capacity of 117.93 mg/g, representing a 91.1% enhancement over pristine BC. Adsorption kinetics of FKBC were well described by the pseudo-second-order model (R 2 ≈ 0.99), with higher rate constants and initial adsorption rates, indicating accelerated chemisorption. FKBC further enabled simultaneous removal of ammonium and phosphate (∼60% at 20–120 mg/L). Adsorption was pH-dependent, favoring acidic conditions. XPS/FTIR analyses combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that CIP adsorption is primarily governed by inner-sphere Fe O coordination and carboxylate complexation, with carbonyl anchoring and π-π interactions contributing at higher surface coverage. Stable Fe 2p features before and after adsorption indicate reversible surface coordination without alteration of iron chemical states, supporting low iron-leaching risk. A ranking efficiency product (REP) analysis yielded an overall sustainability score of 85%, highlighting FKBC as an efficient and sustainable adsorbent for antibiotic remediation and resource-oriented digestate valorization.

A rapid and practical protocol for the chemoselective deoxygenation of various aromatic ketones and aldehydes was described, which used a tandem catalyst composed of heterogeneous Pd/TiO2 + homogeneous FeCl3 with the green hydrogen source, polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS). The developed catalytic system was robust and scalable, as exemplified by the deoxygenation of acetophenone, which was performed on a gram scale in an atmospheric environment utilizing only 0.4 mol % Pd/TiO2 + 10 mol % FeCl3 catalyst to give the corresponding ethylbenzene in 96% yield within 10 min at room temperature. Furthermore, the Pd/TiO2 catalyst was shown to be recyclable up to three times without an observable decrease in efficiency and it exhibited low metal leaching under the reaction conditions. Insights toward the reaction mechanism of Pd-catalyzed reductive deoxygenation for aromatic ketones and aldehydes were investigated through operando IR, NMR, and GC-MS techniques.

Inorganic coagulants are essential agents that can facilitate the sludge deep dewatering, but comprehensive comparative research of commonly used coagulants is lacking. The systematic comparison of six coagulants, including Ferric Chloride (FeCl 3 ), Polymeric Ferrous Sulfate (PFS), Ferrous Sulfate (Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ), Aluminium Chloride (AlCl 3 ), Aluminium Sulfate (Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ), and Polymeric Aluminium Chloride (PAC) regarding their performance in conditioning sludge dewatering , physicochemical properties, the risk of heavy metals migration in sludge cake and the mechanism of sludge dewatering, was investigated. Within a dosage range of 20% dry solids (DS), the PFS and FeCl 3 showed a better dewatering effect among the six coagulants, and the water content (Wc) of the sludge cake decreased from 81.2%±1.1% to 57.7%±1.0% and 59.2%±1.6%, respectively. There was a correlation between the pH, zeta potential , viscosity, and bound water content of the sludge and the Wc of the sludge cake during dewatering conditioned by six coagulants. However, there was no correlation between sludge particle size and Wc of the sludge cake. The PFS and FeCl 3 reduced the protein content of tightly bound extracellular polymeric substances (TB-EPS) by 66.1% and 62.6%, respectively. Moreover, the iron coagulants significantly reduced the content of As, Cu, Ni, and Zn in the sludge cake, where the risk levels of As and Ni were largely weakened. The economic analysis shows that iron coagulants were more valuable than aluminium coagulants for engineering applications. Meanwhile, the dewatering mechanisms of the two types of coagulants were revealed. This study provides significant insights into the application of coagulants in engineering practice.

NH 3 ·H 2 O can result in severe accidents when leaking in a confined space. In this work, a novel powder-water mist synergistic strategy for decontaminating NH 3 ·H 2 O in a confined space is proposed. Initially, FeCl 3 /AlCl 3 was employed to modify diatomite, decorating its pore structure and augmenting the number of acidic adsorption sites. The modified diatomite achieves a notable efficiency of 74.6%, surpassing that of the raw diatomite (43.8%). Subsequently, surfactants were introduced to increase the contact area between the water mist and NH 3 , while a thickening agent was employed to suppress the fluidity of NH 3 ·H 2 O. Ultimately, the powder-water mist synergistic decontamination system was constructed by integrating the diatomite with a thickening agent and water mist containing surfactants. The synergistic system exhibits a superior decontamination efficiency of approximately 80%. This work generates fresh insight into decontaminating NH 3 ·H 2 O in a confined space and offers a crucial avenue for future advancements in decontamination technology.

The development of green and sustainable strategies to produce cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) with tailored surface chemistry for interfacial stabilization and advanced functional composites is of significant importance. In this study, acetylated CNFs were fabricated through FeCl₃-catalyzed acetic acid (AA) pretreatment followed by high-pressure homogenization, enabling simultaneous hydrolysis and surface acetylation. The optimized CNFs exhibited a narrow diameter distribution, enhanced thermal stability, and increased acetyl group content, resulting in improved amphiphilicity and interfacial activity. The modified CNFs effectively stabilized oil-in-water Pickering emulsions over a wide range of oil contents with excellent long-term stability. Incorporation of the CNFs-stabilized emulsions into a waterborne polyurethane (WPU) matrix yielded flexible composite films with high transparency (>88%) and tunable haze (up to ∼82%). The close refractive index matching among CNFs, WPU, and oil droplets, together with controlled microscale scattering, enabled the decoupling of transparency and haze. This work establishes a sustainable catalytic route for producing surface-functionalized CNFs for interfacial engineering and light-management applications.

Microplastic pollution has become one of the most concerned focuses in the world. Among many treatment methods, photocatalysis is considered to be one of the most environmentally friendly methods. In this work, the photodegradation behavior of polyamide microplastics is studied by using polyamide 6 PA6) as model microplastics and FeCl 3 as catalyst. It is hoped that the PA6 fiber can be effectively degraded by utilizing the strong oxidizing active species that can be produced after FeCl 3 is irradiated in water. The results shows that PA6 fiber can be almost completely degraded after 10 days of irradiation in FeCl 3 aqueous solution, indicating that it is promising to use this new method to solve the problem of PA6 type microplastics. In addition, the chain scission mechanism and degradation process of PA6 are analyzed in detail by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS), which provides a new insight for the study of polymer degradation mechanism.

Chemical doping is a viable tactic to improve the charge transporting properties of organic semiconductors in efficient perovskite solar cells. In this paper, we first employ the low-cost inorganic salt FeCl3 as a chemical dopant to replace the traditional expensive cobalt complex for the oxidization of 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis(N,N-p-dimethoxyphenylamino)-9,9′-spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD), a typical organic hole-transporter. Based on the joint measurements of electron absorption spectra, cyclic voltammetry, and the hole-only device, we reveal that FeCl3 can effectively oxidize Spiro-OMeTAD and improve the hole transporting properties of Spiro-OMeTAD. Through carefully optimizing the dopant concentration, solar cells with 80% FeCl3 doped Spiro-OMeTAD achieve over 17% power conversion efficiency based on a triple cation perovskite photoactive layer, which is comparable to that of devices with a classical cobalt complex dopant. Our work demonstrates the potential of using FeCl3 as a low-cost chemical dopant for hole-transporting materials in perovskite solar cells.
