In this study, the catalytic properties of Fenton-like catalyst based on magnesium ferrite nanoparticles for IBP degradation were examined. Structural and morphological studies showed the low crystallinity and mesoporous structure for the catalyst obtained via a glycine-nitrate method. The influences of catalyst dosage, oxidant concentration, and solution pH on the pollutant degradation were investigated. The pseudo-first-order model describes kinetic data, and under optimal condition (catalyst dose of 0.5 g L-1, H2O2 concentration of 20.0 mM, and pH of 8.0), apparent rate constant reached 0.091 min-1. It was shown that Fenton reaction was mainly induced by iron atoms on the catalyst surface, which is supported by very low iron leaching (up to 0.05 mg L-1) and high catalytic activity at neutral solution pH (6.0-8.0). It was found that the IBP mineralization onto magnesium ferrite catalyst was rapid and reached up to 98-100% within 40 min. Thus, prepared magnesium ferrite nanoparticles can be used as an effective Fenton-like catalyst for the IBP degradation from wastewater.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the degradation of rhodamine B dye from aqueous solution by photo-Fenton reaction under visible irradiation using a Fe-rich bentonite as a catalyst. The material was thermally treated at a low temperature (200 °C) and characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, FTIR, SEM-EDS and XRF. Iron leaching in aqueous solution after the photo-Fenton reaction was evaluated by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The material exhibited a mesoporous structure, containing a specific surface area of 99 m2.g-1. The catalytic results showed significant dye degradation, reaching 95% of decolorization and 72% of mineralization at 300 min of reaction. The catalyst showed high chemical stability in four reaction cycles. Therefore, this thermally treated Fe-rich bentonite can be considered as a promising catalyst in the heterogeneous photo-Fenton reaction for the degradation of rhodamine B from aqueous solution.

The removal of water pollutants has been widely addressed for the conservation of the environment, and novel materials are being developed as adsorbent to address this issue. In this work, different residual biomasses were employed to prepare biosorbents applied to lead (Pb(II)) ion uptake. The choice of cassava peels (CP), banana peels (BP), yam peels (YP), and oil palm bagasse (OPB) was made due to the availability of such biomasses in the Department of Bolivar (Colombia), derived from agro-industrial activities. The materials were characterized by ultimate and proximate analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) in order to determine the physicochemical properties of bioadsorbents. The adsorption tests were carried out in batch mode, keeping the initial metal concentration at 100 ppm, temperature at 30 °C, particle size at 1 mm, and solution pH at 6. The experimental results were adjusted to kinetic and isotherm models to determine the adsorption mechanism. The remaining concentration of Pb(II) in solution was measured by atomic absorption at 217 nm. The functional groups identified in FTIR spectra are characteristic of lignocellulosic materials. A high surface area was found for all biomaterials with the exception of yam peels. A low pore volume and size, related to the mesoporous structure of these materials, make these bioadsorbents a suitable alternative for liquid phase adsorption, since they facilitate the diffusion of Pb(II) ions onto the adsorbent structure. Both FTIR and EDS techniques confirmed ion precipitation onto adsorbent materials after the adsorption process. The adsorption tests reported efficiency values above 80% for YP, BP, and CP, indicating a good uptake of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution. The results reported that Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second order best fit experimental data, suggesting that the adsorption process is governed by chemical reactions and multilayer uptake. The future prospective of this work lies in the identification of alternatives to reuse Pb(II)-contaminated biomasses after heavy metal adsorption, such as material immobilization.

Reactive dyes have been widely used in the dyeing of bright colourful silk fabrics. The discoloration and degradation of Reactive Red K-2G in waste water were discussed in this paper. A new heterogeneous photocatalyst named loading phthalocyanine sulfonic iron fibers (FePcS-F) was prepared by phthalocyanine sulfonic Iron supported by modified cellulose fibers in acidic condition. The photocatalytic degradation of Reactive Red K-2G was characterized by discoloration rate to evaluate the effect of catalyst dosage, catalyst loading (CFePcS-F) and solution pH. The results proved that increasing catalyst dosage and CFePcS-F significantly accelerated the dye degradation. FePcS-F catalyst showed higher photocatalytic activity when the solution’s pH value is equal to or less than 6.0, compared to alkaline medium.

Abstract Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been widely used as a recyclable catalyst in Fenton reaction for organic degradation. However, the pristine MNPs suffer from the drawbacks of iron leaching in acidic conditions as well as the decreasing catalytic activity of organic degradation at a pH higher than 3.0. To solve the problems, Fe3O4 MNPs were modified by poly(catechol) (Fe3O4/PCC MNPs) using a facile chemical co-precipitation method. The poly(catechol) modification improved both the dispersity and the surface negative charges of Fe3O4/PCC MNPs, which are beneficial to the catalytic activity of MNPs for organics degradation. Moreover, the poly(catechol) modification enhanced the efficiency of Fe(II) regeneration during Fenton reaction due to the acceleration of Fe(III) reduction by the phenolic/quinonoid redox pair. As a result, the Fenton reaction with Fe3O4/PCC MNPs could efficiently degrade organic molecules, exampled by methylene blue (MB), in an expanded pH range between 3.0 and 10.0. In addition, Fe3O4/PCC MNPs could be reused up to 8 cycles for the MB degradation with negligible iron leaching of lower than 1.5 mg L-1. This study demonstrated Fe3O4/PCC MNPs are a promising heterogeneous Fenton catalysts for organic degradation.
