Summary: In this study, oxalate was used as a regulator to enhance the degradation of Orange II in a Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (NPs)-catalyzed heterogeneous UV-Fenton system. The oxalate could interact with the catalyst, weakening the bond and promoting the leaching of iron ions, leading to accelerated redox cycle of iron and generation of hydroxyl radicals. The results showed that the addition of oxalate significantly increased the degradation rate of Orange II. Furthermore, the Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles demonstrated high catalytic stability and reusability.

Summary: The treatment performance of a heterogeneous Fenton system driven by iron-loaded sludge biochar (Fe-BC) on wastewater containing sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was investigated in this study. The batch experiments determined the optimal operating conditions and achieved a high CODcr removal efficiency. The removal of CODcr was described by the BMG and BMGL models, and a diffusion-controlled process was observed. The contributions of adsorption and Fenton oxidation to CODcr removal were determined to be 42.79%, 54.01%, and 3.20%, respectively. Homogeneous Fenton degradation pathways for SMX were also identified.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different treatment methods on textile industry wastewater and found that combining EF with a BDD anode can efficiently remove TOC in a short period of time, while AO is more effective in controlling the formation of degradation by-products. A trade-off between TOC removal and the formation of toxic by-products should be considered during the treatment process.

Summary: The presence of phenolic acids, iron oxides, and dissolved oxygen in soils can initiate a Fenton-like reaction with potential impact on organic pollutant transformation. This reaction, involving species like semiquinone free radicals and hydroxyl radicals, was shown to degrade sulfamethoxazole efficiently at pH 4.0, while pH increase inhibited the process. The study also identified intermediate products and pathways for SMX degradation, enhancing understanding of abiotic soil Fenton-like reactions on pollutant fate.

Summary: We reported an adsorption-assisted heterogeneous Fenton process for the selective degradation of pollutants and illustrated its dynamic coordination in two phases. The results showed that surface enrichment of target pollutants and the diffusion of H2O2 and pollutants improved the selective removal. Mechanism studies demonstrated that O-2(-) and Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle increased OH generation, which remained active within similar to 244 nm. These findings are critical for understanding the removal behavior of complex targets and expanding heterogeneous Fenton applications.

Summary: Clarifying the reaction pathways at the solid-water interface and in bulk water solution is crucial for designing heterogeneous catalysts for selective oxidation of organic pollutants. In this study, the origin of organic oxidation reactions with metal oxide catalysts is unraveled, showing that radical-based advanced oxidation processes prevail in bulk water but not on solid catalyst surfaces. These findings provide a fundamental understanding of catalytic organic oxidation processes at the solid-water interface and can guide the design of heterogeneous nanocatalysts.

Summary: Heterogeneous Fenton reactions involving the use of iron-oxide-coated clay catalysts and H2O2 for pollutant degradation have been studied. The role of compound structure on surface complexation, iron-oxide reduction, H2O2 activation, and phenol degradation was examined. Compounds carrying a catechol group showed high adsorption affinity and were rapidly degraded, while compounds with single phenol or carboxylic groups exhibited low surface complexation affinity and needed more time for degradation. Radical probe experiments showed different reactive species formation for different compounds. The findings have implications for the design of improved heterogeneous Fenton systems for recalcitrant pollutants.

Summary: The study investigates a prospective HHCF process, in which solid waste copper slag (CS) and dithionite (DNT) act as catalyst and mediator of Fe3+/Fe2+ transformation. DNT enables controlled leaching of iron and a highly efficient homogeneous Fe3+/Fe2+ cycle by dissociating to SO2• under acidic conditions, leading to enhanced H2O2 decomposition and (OH)• generation for pchloroaniline (p-CA) degradation. The removal rate of p-CA in the CS/DNT/H2O2 system increased by 30 times compared to the CS/H2O2 system. Moreover, batch dosing of H2O2 can greatly promote the yield of (OH)• by mitigating the side reactions between H2O2 and SO2•.

Summary: This study firstly demonstrates that synthesized magnetic electron-rich copper-iron oxides composites can efficiently immobilize Cr(VI) pollutants through reductive processes. The immobilization of Cr(III) is correlated with the simultaneous dissolution of Cu, and the complexation of citric acid with the copper-iron oxide composites promotes electron transfer and enhances the electron efficiency. Moreover, citric acid tends to chelate Cu(II) on the surface of the copper oxide component, releasing Cu2+-citric acid complexes and refreshing the reduction sites, thus favoring the immobilization of Cr(III) on the iron oxide component.

Summary: This study reveals a mechanism of Fe-based metal-organic frameworks in the rapid degradation of recalcitrant organic substances using oxidants such as H2O2. The process occurs in two stages, activation stage and rapid degradation stage. In the activation stage, H2O2 is slowly activated, forming superoxide radicals. In the rapid degradation stage, the reductive dissolution of iron ions leads to a subsequent Fenton reaction, resulting in the rapid oxidation of organic compounds.

Summary: In this study, carbon quantum dots modified maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3/CQDs) with excellent photo-electrochemical properties have been synthesized, which can rapidly decompose sulfa-methoxazole (SMX) with oxalic acid (OA) under UV light. The complexed [equivalent to Fe-III(C2O4)n](3-2n) on the gamma-Fe2O3 surface can efficiently undergo interfacial ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT), leading to the generation of highly reactive O-2(center dot-) and center dot OH. The heterogenous LMCT process dominates the initial rapid degradation of SMX, while the soluble Fe-III(C2O4)n(3-2n) species also contribute to additional homogeneous LMCT.

Summary: This study has shown that the Fenton fluidized bed (FFB) technology can successfully immobilize As ions on IC carriers, while also crystallizing ferric and mineralizing organic pollutants. The immobilization of As(V) on the IC carriers occurs rapidly through surface favorable bidentate complexion, while the removal of As(III) through adsorption is slow. The addition of Fe3+ inhibits As(V) immobilization but promotes oxidative crystallization of Fe(II) and As(III). As a result, efficient co-crystallization of As(V)/Fe(III) is achieved.

Summary: Hoarding is a common problem behavior worldwide that negatively impacts physical and mental health. Current interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapies, may not have long-term efficacy, and research lacks examination of mediating variables and cultural differences. This study compared Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) on hoarding and related outcomes, finding that both interventions improved psychological flexibility, cognition, and emotional regulation. ACT was more effective in reducing hoarding and depression, while psychological flexibility mediated the effects on outcomes.

Summary: In this study, ZL104 aluminum alloy flywheel housing with large wall-thickness difference and complex shape was formed using local-loading squeeze casting. The effects of T6 heat treatment process parameters on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the flywheel housing were investigated. The optimal mechanical properties were achieved at a solution temperature of 550 degrees C and a solution time of 3 h, with ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation values of 243 MPa, 133 MPa, and 14%, respectively. The strength increased and then decreased with the increase of aging time, and after 8 h/175 degrees C aging treatment, the maximum tensile strength and yield strength reached 312 MPa and 251 MPa, respectively. The T6 heat treatment resulted in obvious spheroidization and coarsening of Si particles, and continuous dynamic recrystallization occurred.
