FeNX species can be the active sites for adsorption and activation of reactants in Fe single-atom catalysts. The combination of FeNX species with granular zero-valent iron (ZVI) can result in catalyzed reductive decontamination of groundwater contaminants. The newly developed N-C-mZV(Ibm) material showed higher dechlorination rates for trichloroethylene (TCE) than bare mZV(Ibm), especially at a wide range of pH values.
FeNX in Fe single-atom catalysts can be the active site for adsorption and activation of reactants. In addition, FeNX species have been shown to facilitate electron transfer between Fe and the carbon supports used in newly developed metal-air batteries. We hypothesized that the combination of FeNX species with granular zero-valent iron (ZVI) might result in catalyzed reductive decontamination of groundwater contaminants such as trichloroethylene (TCE). Here, such materials synthesized by ball milling microscale ZVI with melamine and the resulting N species were mainly in the form of pyridinic, pyrrolic, and graphitic N. This new material (abbreviated as N-C-mZV(Ibm)) dechlorinated TCE at higher rates than bare mZV(Ibm) (about 3.5-fold) due to facilitated electron transfer through (or around) the surface layer of iron oxides by the newly formed Fe-N-X(C). N-C-mZV(Ibm) gave higher k(TCE) (0.4-1.14 day(-1)) than mZV(Ibm) (0-0.4 day(-1)) over a wide range of pH values (4-11). Unlike most ZVI systems, k(TCE) for N-C-mZV(Ibm) increased with increasing pH values. This is because the oxide layer that passivates Fe-0 at a high pH is disrupted by Fe-N-X(C) formed on N-C-mZV(Ibm), thereby allowing TCE dechlorination and HER under basic conditions. Serial respike experiments gave no evidence of decreased performance of N-C-mZV(Ibm), showing that the advantages of this material might remain under field applications.
