Accelerated Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle for rapid elimination of Rhodamine B by a novel Mo2C co-catalytic Fe2+/H2O2 system

Hao Cheng et al.

Summary: Commercial molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) and ferrous iron (Fe2+) were investigated as co-catalysts for the activation of H2O2 in the treatment of organic contaminants. The presence of Mo2C effectively decomposed H2O2 and accelerated the conversion of Fe3+/Fe2+ compared to traditional Fenton process. Mo2C/Fe2+/H2O2 exhibited a significantly higher catalytic reactivity than MoS2, and the degradation rate constant of Rhodamine B in Mo2C/Fe2+/H2O2 was three times higher than that in Fe2+/H2O2. XPS analysis showed that Mo(II) and Mo(IV) played major roles in Fe3+ reduction, and EPR analysis confirmed the involvement of .OH, O-2(-), and O-1(2) in Mo2C/Fe2+/H2O2. ECOSAR toxicity assessment revealed a decrease in the toxicity of RhB degradation products after treatment. Overall, this study presents a promising Mo2C co-catalyzed Fenton process for efficient abatement of organic contaminants.

Synergistic effect and mechanism of Cd(II) and As(III) adsorption by biochar supported sulfide nanoscale zero-valent iron

Xiaoyu Zheng et al.

Summary: Biochar derived from bamboo was utilized as a support for sulfide nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI@BC) for the simultaneous removal of Cd(II) and As (III) from water. The successful synthesis of S-nZVI@BC was confirmed by SEM and XRD characterization. Co-adsorption of Cd(II) and As(III) onto S-nZVI@BC followed the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model, with higher adsorption capacity compared to single adsorption. The optimal Cd(II)-to-As(III) concentration ratio was 1:2, and the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ inhibited Cd(II) removal, while phosphate and humic acid inhibited As(III) removal. S-nZVI@BC exhibited better electrochemical properties and the primary mechanisms for Cd(II) and As(III) removal were electrostatic adsorption, complexation, co-precipitation, and redox. This study provides insights into the efficient removal of Cd(II) and As(III) from wastewater using S-nZVI@BC.

Applying a novel advanced oxidation process of activated peracetic acid by CoFe2O4 to efficiently degrade sulfamethoxazole

Jingwen Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, peracetic acid (PAA) was successfully activated by cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4/PAA) to remove sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The best removal efficiency of SMX was achieved under neutral conditions with 200 μM PAA and 0.1 g/L CoFe2O4. The redox cycle of Co3+/ Co2+ on the CoFe2O4 surface dominated PAA activation, producing organic radicals that accounted for SMX degradation. The potential applicability of the CoFe2O4/PAA system in degrading micro-organic pollutants was suggested based on the results of this study.

Ultrafast activation of peroxymonosulfate by reduction of trace Fe3+ with Ti3C2 MXene under neutral and alkaline conditions: Reducibility and confinement effect

Haoran Song et al.

Summary: This study achieved ultrafast activation of peroxymonosulfate by reduction of trace Fe3+ at the μg L-1 level using eco-friendly Ti3C2 MXene under neutral and alkaline conditions. Complete removal of the model pollutant sulfamethoxazole was accomplished within minutes, with hydroxyl and sulfate radicals identified as the primary reactive species. The strong reducibility of Ti3C2 MXene played a key role in triggering the Fe(III)/Fe (II) cycle and accelerating PMS activation, leading to excellent performance in the Fenton-like process.
