The solubility of potassium ferrate(VI) (K2FeO4) was measured in a mixture solution containing various molar ratios of KOH and NaOH at a total concentration of 14 M from (10 to 60) degrees C. The solubility of K2FeO4 decreased necause of the presence of K+ in the solution mixture. The solubility (S*) was expressed as log S* = 5.830 - 2019/T - 5.845X(K+)(0.5) + 1.595X(K+) + 724X(K+)(0.5)/T (sigma = 0.024), where XK+ is the mole fraction of K+ in the solution mixture and T is in Kelvin. A comparison of the values of S* in different alkali metal hydroxide solutions showed that the solubility of K2FeO4 was diminished in KOH and CsOH and similarly in LiOH and NaOH solutions. The solubility product constant (K-sp*), calculated from the solubility measurements, was given as log K-sp* = 18.10 - 6055/T - 17.535X(K+)(0.5) + 4.785X(K+) + 2171X(K+)(0.5)/T (sigma = 0.061). The heat of dissolution (Delta H-diss) decreased linearly with an increase in the mole fraction of K+ ions. The significance of the solubility results is briefly discussed.

Overlooked involvement of phosphate radicals in the degradation of the atrazine herbicide by sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation

Yinghao Wen, Eric Lichtfouse, Virender K. Sharma, Xingmao Ma

Summary: The persistence of recalcitrant pollutants in water is a major health issue. This study investigated the effect of phosphate on the degradation of atrazine by peroxydisulfate under visible light. The presence of phosphates was found to significantly decrease the efficiency of atrazine removal, due to the formation of less reactive phosphate radicals.

Summary: This study focuses on the development of carbon-supported dendrimer-encapsulated Pt nanoparticles (MLG/Dend-PtNPs) as efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen production in proton-exchange membrane water electrolysis. It was found that MLG/Dend-PtNPs with a Pt loading of 1 to 2 wt.% exhibited excellent performance compared to commercial catalyst (40% Pt on C).

Efficient cathode for the hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline membrane water electrolysis based on NiCoP embedded in carbon fibres

Martin Durovic, Jaromir Hnat, Magdalena Streckova, Karel Bouzek

Summary: Porous carbon nano/microfibres modified by NiCoP nanoparticles were used as gas diffusion cathodes in a zero-gap alkaline water electrolyser. Two types of precursors, PAN and a combination of PAN and PVP, were used for the preparation of carbon fibres. The NiCoP/CF_PAN fibres, which were more porous yet stable, outperformed the NiCoP/CF_PAN-PVP cathode. Both cathodes showed high activity and exceptional stability under membrane alkaline water electrolysis conditions.

Summary: In this study, an active hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst was synthesized from MoNiO4 nano-rod arrays on nickel foam using high-temperature reductive annealing. The characterization of the nanostructure revealed the formation of a surface enriched polycrystalline MoO2 layer instead of a Ni4Mo alloy. The electrochemical dissolution of Mo and Ni was also investigated, with only Mo showing detectable dissolution phenomena, and the MoO2/Ni cathode prepared at 600 degrees C being the most stable. The catalyst exhibited stable hydrogen production in an anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) system for over 300 hours.

Summary: This study investigated the oxidation reaction of benzophenones, commonly used UV filters, by the oxidant potassium permanganate (KMnO4). The addition of potassium permanganate enhanced the reaction rate and efficiency. The degradation of benzophenones involved hydroxylation, bond breaking, polymerization, and carboxylation processes. Toxicity assessments revealed that the intermediate products formed during the degradation process posed a decreasing ecological risk.

Enhanced Oxidation of Antibiotics by Ferrate Mediated with Natural Organic Matter: Role of Phenolic Moieties

Binglin Guo, Junyue Wang, Krishnamoorthy Sathiyan, Xingmao Ma, Eric Lichtfouse, Ching-Hua Huang, Virender K. Sharma

Summary: Low levels of natural organic matter (NOM) enhance removal of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole by ferrate(VI) through the formation of more reactive Fe(V) species. The presence of antibiotics in water sources threatens public health and ecosystems. Nine types of NOM and NOM model compounds were found to improve the removal of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole by ferrate(VI) under mild alkaline conditions, possibly due to the presence of phenolic moieties in NOMs. The formation of Fe(V) through single-electron transfer from NOM to Fe(VI) generates NOM radicals within milliseconds, resulting in the enhanced removal of antibiotics despite concurrent reactions between Fe(V) and NOM moieties, radicals, and water. Humic and fulvic acids from lake and river waters also showed similar results, supporting the enhanced abatement of antibiotics in real water situations.
