Abstract
Due to their Fe- and N-containing reactive urea ligand content, the hexakis(urea-O)iron(II) and hexakis(urea-O)iron(III) complexes were found to be versatile materials in various application fields of industry and environmental protection. In our present work, we have comprehensively reviewed the synthesis, structural and spectroscopic details, and thermal properties of hexakis(urea-O)iron(II) and hexakis(urea-O)iron(III) salts with different anions (NO3-, Cl-, Br- I-, I3-, ClO4-, MnO4-, SO42-, Cr2O72-, and S2O82-). We compared and evaluated the structural, spectroscopic (IR, Raman, UV-vis, Mössbauer, EPR, and X-ray), and thermogravimetric data. Based on the thermal behavior of these complexes, we evaluated the solid-phase quasi-intramolecular redox reactions of anions and urea ligands in these complexes and summarized the available information on the properties of the resulting simple and mixed iron-containing oxides. Furthermore, we give a complete overview of the application of these complexes as catalysts, reagents, absorbers, or agricultural raw materials.

Defluorination of perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid by heterogeneous catalytic system of Fe-Al 2O 3/O 3: Synergistic oxidation effects and defluorination mechanism. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 915:169675.

Abstract
In this study, catalytic ozonation by Fe-Al2O3 was used to investigate the defluorination of PFOA and PFOS, assessing the effects of different experimental conditions on the defluorination efficiency of the system. The oxidation mechanism of the Fe-Al2O3/O3 system and the specific degradation and defluorination mechanisms for PFOA and PFOS were determined. Results showed that compared to the single O3 system, the defluorination rates of PFOA and PFOS increased by 2.32- and 5.92-fold using the Fe-Al2O3/O3 system under optimal experimental conditions. Mechanistic analysis indicated that in Fe-Al2O3, the variable valence iron (Fe) and functional groups containing C and O served as important reaction sites during the catalytic process. The co-existence of 1O2, OH, O2- and high-valence Fe(IV) constituted a synergistic oxidation system consisting of free radicals and non-radicals, promoting the degradation and defluorination of PFOA and PFOS. DFT theoretical calculations and the analysis of intermediate degradation products suggested that the degradation pathways of PFOA and PFOS involved Kolbe decarboxylation, desulfonation, alcoholization and intramolecular cyclization reactions. The degradation and defluorination pathways of PFOA and PFOS consisted of the stepwise removal of -CF2-, with PFOS exhibiting a higher defluorination rate than PFOA due to its susceptibility to electrophilic attack. This study provides a theoretical basis for the development of heterogeneous catalytic ozonation systems for PFOA and PFOS treatment.

Abstract
Hematite is a common iron oxide in natural environments, which has been observed to influence the transport and fate of arsenate by its association with hematite. Although oxygen vacancies were demonstrated to exist in hematite, their contributions to the arsenate immobilization have not been quantified. In this study, hematite samples with tunable oxygen vacancy defect (OVD) concentrations were synthesized by treating defect-free hematite using different NaBH4 solutions. The vacancy defects were characterized by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, Doppler broadening of annihilation radiation, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), thermogravimetric mass spectrometry (TG-MS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results revealed that oxygen vacancy was the primary defect type existing on the hematite surface. TG-MS combined with EPR analysis allowed quantification of OVD concentrations in hematite. Batch experiments revealed that OVDs had a positive effect on arsenate adsorption, which could be quantitatively described by a linear relationship between the OVD concentration (Cdef, mmol m-2) and the enhanced arsenate adsorption amount caused by defects (ΔQm, μmol m-2) (ΔQm = 20.94 Cdef, R2 = 0.9813). NH3-diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (NH3-DRIFT) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that OVDs in hematite were beneficial to the improvement in adsorption strength of surface-active sites, thus considerably promoting the immobilization of arsenate.

Abstract
Using renewable photocatalysts for pollutant degradation represents a promising approach to addressing environmental water challenges by harnessing solar energy without additional energy consumption. However, for the practical use of photocatalysts, it is necessary to improve catalyst efficiency, considering cost and biocompatibility. In this study, we developed a new superabsorbent photocatalyst for the degradation of organic dyes in water. Our photocatalyst comprises halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) with a large outer diameter and Si-O and Al-O groups on the outer and inner surfaces, respectively; graphene oxide (GO) possessing numerous sp2 bonds and light-conductive properties; and ZnO, which can degrade organic molecules via a photon source. By exploiting the superabsorbent properties of GOs for organic dyes and stabilizing ZnO nanoparticles on HNTs to inhibit aggregation, our photocatalysts demonstrated significantly improved degradability compared to ZnO nanoparticles alone and combinations of ZnO with HNTs or GO. The structural characteristics of the nanocomposites were characterized using SEM, EDX, Raman spectroscopy, and XRD. Their enhanced photocatalytic activity was demonstrated by the degradation of rhodamine b in water, showing 95% photodegradation under UV illumination for 60 min, while the ZnO nanoparticles showed only 56% dye degradation under the same condition. Additionally, the degradation rate was enhanced by four times. Furthermore, the catalysts maintained their initial activity with no significant loss after four uses, showing their potential for practical implementation in the mass purification of wastewater.

Abstract
![]()
Research on new reaction routes and precursors to prepare
catalysts
for CO2 hydrogenation has enormous importance. Here, we
report on the preparation of the permanganate salt of the urea-coordinated
iron(III), [hexakis(urea-O)iron(III)]permanganate
([Fe(urea-O)6](MnO4)3) via an affordable
synthesis route and preliminarily demonstrate the catalytic activity
of its (Fe,Mn)Ox thermal decomposition
products in CO2 hydrogenation. [Fe(urea-O)6](MnO4)3 contains O-coordinated urea ligands in octahedral
propeller-like arrangement around the Fe3+ cation. There
are extended hydrogen bond interactions between the permanganate ions
and the hydrogen atoms of the urea ligands. These hydrogen bonds serve
as reaction centers and have unique roles in the solid-phase quasi-intramolecular
redox reaction of the urea ligand and the permanganate anion below
the temperature of ligand loss of the complex cation. The decomposition
mechanism of the urea ligand (ammonia elimination with the formation
of isocyanuric acid and biuret) has been clarified. In an inert atmosphere,
the final thermal decomposition product was manganese-containing wuestite,
(Fe,Mn)O, at 800 °C, whereas in ambient air, two types of bixbyite
(Fe,Mn)2O3 as well as jacobsite (Fe,Mn)T-4(Fe,Mn)OC-62O4), with overall Fe to Mn stoichiometry of 1:3, were formed. These
final products were obtained regardless of the different atmospheres
applied during thermal treatments up to 350 °C. Disordered bixbyite
formed first with inhomogeneous Fe and Mn distribution and double-size
supercell and then transformed gradually into common bixbyite with
regular structure (and with 1:3 Fe to Mn ratio) upon increasing the
temperature and heating time. The (Fe,Mn)Ox intermediates formed under various conditions showed catalytic effect
in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction with <57.6% CO2 conversions and <39.3% hydrocarbon yields. As a mild solid-phase
oxidant, hexakis(urea-O)iron(III) permanganate, was
found to be selective in the transformation of (un)substituted benzylic
alcohols into benzaldehydes and benzonitriles. [Fe(urea-O)6](MnO4)3 is a selective solid-phase oxidant
of benzylic alcohols
into benzaldehydes and precursor in the preparation of (Fe,Mn)Ox catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation
into hydrocarbons. The urea ligands are in octahedral propeller-like
arrangement around the Fe3+ cation, and there are hydrogen
bonds between the permanganate anions and the urea ligands. A solid-phase
quasi-intramolecular redox reaction of the urea and the permanganate
resulted in (Fe,Mn)O, (Fe,Mn)2O3, and (Fe,Mn)T-4(Fe,Mn)OC-62O4 with an overall Fe to Mn stoichiometry of 1:3.

Effects of an Alternating Magnetic Field towards Dispersion of α-Fe 2O 3/TiO 2 Magnetic Filler in PPO dm Polymer for CO 2/CH 4 Gas Separation. MEMBRANES 2021; 11:membranes11080641.

Abstract
Magnetic-field-induced dispersion of magnetic fillers has been proven to improve the gas separation performance of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). However, the magnetic field induced is usually in a horizontal or vertical direction. Limited study has been conducted on the effects of alternating magnetic field (AMF) direction towards the dispersion of particles. Thus, this work focuses on the incorporation and dispersion of ferromagnetic iron oxide-titanium (IV) dioxide (αFe2O3/TiO2) particles in a poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene) oxide (PPOdm) membrane via an AMF to investigate its effect on the magnetic filler dispersion and correlation towards gas separation performance. The fillers were incorporated into PPOdm polymer via a spin-coating method at a 1, 3, and 5 wt% filler loading. The MMM with the 3 wt% loading showed the best performance in terms of particle dispersion and gas separation performance. The three MMMs were refabricated in an alternating magnetic field, and the MMM with the 3 wt% loading presented the best performance. The results display an increment in selectivity by 100% and a decrement in CO2 permeability by 97% to an unmagnetized MMM for the 3 wt% loading. The degree of filler dispersion was quantified and measured using Area Disorder of Delaunay Triangulation mapped onto the filler on binarized MMM images. The results indicate that the magnetized MMM presents a greater degree of dispersion than the unmagnetized MMM.
