Results on the elimination of Fe(II) in static and dynamic adsorption on prepared activated carbons (ACs) showed that the AC-i24h adsorbent has the best Fe(II) adsorption capacities at saturation (Qsat). The Qsat obtained on AC-i24h in static and dynamic conditions (17.87 and 10.38 mg/g, respectively) were higher than those of AC-i30min (13.89 and 5.54 mg/g respectively) and AC-i1h (14.92 and 8.64 mg/g respectively). Moreover, the static adsorption was more effective in the removal of Fe(II) ions in aqueous media in our experimental conditions. The percentage removal (%E) of Fe(II) obtained on prepared activated carbons in static conditions was better than those obtained in dynamic conditions, especially on AC-i24h, where the %E was 89.27% in static and 61.56% in dynamic. In kinetics, results showed that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model best described the adsorption mechanisms of Fe(II) on prepared activated carbons in static adsorption, with mainly of chemisorption on the solid surfaces. However, in dynamic conditions, the pseudo-first-order kinetic model was more suitable. In addition to the weak interactions between Fe(II) and the activated carbon surfaces, strong interactions (chemisorption) were also observed. Also, thermodynamic data obtained on AC-i24h in static adsorption indicated that the adsorption of Fe(II) was spontaneous and increased with temperature (ΔG˚ H˚ = 503.54 KJ/mol).展开更多

The LC-ICP-MS method overcomes the shortcomings of conventional ferrozine approaches of measuring Fe(II) and total Fe by two separate runs and calculating Fe(III) by the difference of two runs. The advantage is particularly evident in that organo-iron species are found to be the predominant iron species in many natural waters, and the difference method cannot measure the concentration of Fe(III) because ferrozine will not complex with organo-iron species. In the work reported here, the LC-ICP-MS method is successfully applied to the separation of dissolved iron species, as well as six other divalent transition metals in tap water, deionized water, river water, hot springs, and groundwater samples.展开更多

Results on the elimination of Fe(II) in static and dynamic adsorption on prepared activated carbons (ACs) showed that the AC-i24h adsorbent has the best Fe(II) adsorption capacities at saturation (Qsat). The Qsat obtained on AC-i24h in static and dynamic conditions (17.87 and 10.38 mg/g, respectively) were higher than those of AC-i30min (13.89 and 5.54 mg/g respectively) and AC-i1h (14.92 and 8.64 mg/g respectively). Moreover, the static adsorption was more effective in the removal of Fe(II) ions in aqueous media in our experimental conditions.

文摘The novel Fe-N co-doped ordered mesoporous carbon with high catalytic activity in m-cresol removal was prepared by urea-assisted impregnation and simple pyrolysis method.During the preparation of the Fe-NC catalyst,the complexation of N elements in urea could anchor Fe,and the formation of C3N4during urea pyrolysis could also prevent migration and aggregation of Fe species,which jointly improve the dispersion and stability of Fe.The FeN4sites and highly dispersed Fe nanoparticles synergistically trigger the dual-site peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for highly efficient m-cresol degradation,while the ordered mesoporous structure of the catalyst could improve the mass transfer rate of the catalytic process,which together promote catalytic degradation of m-cresol by PMS activation.Reactive oxygen species (ROS) analytic experiments demonstrate that the system degrades m-cresol by free radical pathway mainly based on SO_(4)^(-)·and·OH,and partially based on·OH as the active components,and a possible PMS activation mechanism by 5Fe-50 for m-cresol degradation was proposed.This study can provide theoretical guidance for the preparation of efficient and stable catalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants by activated PMS.

The advantage is particularly evident in that organo-iron species are found to be the predominant iron species in many natural waters, and the difference method cannot measure the concentration of Fe(III) because ferrozine will not complex with organo-iron species. In the work reported here, the LC-ICP-MS method is successfully applied to the separation of dissolved iron species, as well as six other divalent transition metals in tap water, deionized water, river water, hot springs, and groundwater samples.

文摘The asymmetric hydroxylation of inactive carbon atoms in organic compounds remains an important reaction in the industrial synthesis of valuable chiral compounds.Fe(II)and 2-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases(Fe/2-kg DOs)are the largest known subgroups of mononuclear nonheme-Fe(II)-dependent oxygenases,catalyzing various oxidation reactions of C-H bonds.Recent developments in Fe/2-kg DO-related researches have coupled concepts from bioinformatics,synthetic biology,and computational biology to establish effective biotransformation systems.The most well-studied and characterized activ-ity of the Fe/2-kg DOs is substrate hydroxylation,with regard to which mechanistic studies involving the Fe center assist in engineering the protein frameworks of these enzymes to obtain the desired catalytic enhancements.Amino acids are typical substrates of Fe/2-kg DOs and are usually converted into hydroxyl amino acids,which are widely used as intermediates in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries.Herein,we have reviewed prior structural and mechanistic studies on Fe/2-kg DOs,as well as studies on the Fe/2-kg DO-mediated selective C-H oxidation process for selective hydroxyl amino acid synthesis,which will further our journey along the promising path of building complexity via C-H bond oxidation.Further,new bioinformatics techniques should be adopted with structure-based protein rational design to mine sequence databases and shrink mutant libraries to produce a diverse panel of functional Fe/2-kg DOs capable of catalyzing targeted reactions.

文摘Due to continuing mining activities,Cd(II)and As(III)contamination in acid mine drainage(AMD)has become a major environmental challenge.Currently,there is increasing focus on the use of biochar to mitigate AMD pollution.However,the impact of biochar on the process of Fe(II)oxidation by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans(A.ferrooxidans)in AMD systems has not been determined.In this study,we investigated the effects of introducing biochar and biochar-leachate on Fe(II)biooxidation by A.ferrooxidans and on the removal of Cd(II)and As(III)from an AMD system.The results showed that the biochar-leachate had a promoting effect on Fe(II)biooxidation by A.ferrooxidans.Conversely,biochar inhibited this process,and the inhibition increased with increasing biochar dose.Under both conditions(c(A.ferrooxidans)=1.4×107 copies mL-1,m(FeSO4·7H2O):m(biochar)=20:1;c(A.ferrooxidans)=7.0×107 copies mL-1,m(F eSO4·7H2O):m(biochar)=5:1),the biooxidation capacity of A.ferrooxidans was severely inhibited,with Fe(II)oxidation efficiency reaching a value of only~20%after 84 h.The results confirmed that this inhibition might have occurred because a large fraction of the A.ferrooxidans present in the system adsorbed to the biochar,which weakened bacterial activity.In addition,mineral characterization analysis showed that the introduction of biochar changed the A.ferrooxidans biooxidation products from schwertmannite to jarosite,and the specific surface area increased after the minerals combined with biochar.Coprecipitation experiments of As(III)and Cd(II)showed that Cd(II)was adsorbed by the biochar over the first 12 h of reaction,with a removal efficiency of~26%.As(III)was adsorbed by the generated schwertmannite over 24 h,with a removal efficiency of~100%.These findings have positive implications for the removal of As(III)and Cd(II)from AMD.

文摘Room-temperature switchable materials showing multiple responses toward external stimuli are highly desired.Herein,we report bidirectional spin-state switch and fluorescence modulation of an Fe(II)complex(1)based on a rhodamine B 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde hydrazone ligand in both the solid state and solution.The complex is predominantly stabilized in the low-spin(LS)state at room temperature due to the strong ligand-field strength imposed by acylhydrazone pyridine.
