Article Abstract
The treatment of the plugboard wastewater was performed by an optimal electrocoagulation and electro-Fenton. The organic components with suspended fractions accounting for 30% COD were preferably removed via electrocoagulation at initial 5 min. In contrast, the removal efficiency was increased to 76% with the addition of H(2)O(2). The electrogenerated Fe(2+) reacts with H(2)O(2) and leads to the generation of (·)OH, which is responsible for the higher COD removal. However, overdosage H(2)O(2) will consume (·)OH generated in the electro-Fenton process and lead to the low COD removal. The COD removal efficiency decreased with the increased pH. The concentration of Fe(2+) ions was dependent on the solution pH, H(2)O(2) dosage and current density. The changes of organic characteristics in coagulation and oxidation process were differenced and evaluated using gel permeation chromatography, fluorescence excitation-emission scans and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The fraction of the wastewater with aromatic structure and large molecular weight was decomposed into aliphatic structure and small molecular weight fraction in the electro-Fenton process.

Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) is widely used as a plasticizer in the plastics industry, posing a serious threat to environmental pollution and public health. In this work, CuFeO@AC was used as a coating to prepare a novel solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber. CuFeO@AC fiber exhibits a larger specific surface area and more active sites, significantly enhancing DMP enrichment efficiency.

Electro-Fenton (EF) has been proven to be an efficient method for formaldehyde degradation. Notably, the cathode in the EF system inevitably undergoes the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) during operation. The excessive accumulation of H not only creates safety hazards but also, during its generation process, occupies oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) active sites and competes with ORR for electrons, thereby severely restricting both HO synthesis efficiency and formaldehyde degradation performance.

Acetone is a crucial chemical and solvent with extensive industrial applications, traditionally synthesized from propane through multi-step processes that demand high temperatures and pressures. Here, we report a selective one-step conversion of propane to acetone using a heterogeneous electro-Fenton process (h-EFP) under mild conditions. In this process, concentrated ·OH radicals are generated in an iron/carbon hybrid cathode via a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction followed by HO conversion.

A new one-dimensional (1D) palladium-based hybrid perovskite, (CHN)[PdCl(HO)], has been synthesized and structurally characterized, revealing a distinctive asymmetric architecture with two non-equivalent formula units (' = 2). The compound exhibits a see-saw coordination geometry around Pd(ii), stabilized through a network of hydrogen bonds, π-π stacking, and halogen-halogen interactions, which collectively enhance its structural robustness and functional properties. Beyond its architectural novelty, the material demonstrated excellent catalytic activity as a cathodic modifier in a Boron-Doped Diamond (BDD)-assisted electro-Fenton system for paraquat degradation.

Adsorption as an uncomplicated and effective water purification strategy, faced inherent limitations in pollutant mineralization and adsorbent regeneration, while conventional electro-Fenton (EF) struggles with inefficient removal of low-concentration contaminants and narrow pH applicability. To address these challenges, we developed a bifunctional MOF-derived Fe-Cu@biochar composite, which synergistically coupled adsorption with heterogeneous EF (hetero-EF) oxidation for enhanced antibiotics removal and green adsorbent regeneration. The biochar substrate engineered with mesoporous structure and large specific surface area, stabilized Fe-Cu dual sites through coordination bonds while providing abundant oxygen functional groups for rapid tetracycline (TC) adsorption (192.
