Article Abstract
Catalytic oxidation is an effective approach for brominated volatile organic compound (BVOC) abatement to reduce its negative environmental impacts, yet its application is severely hindered by catalyst bromine poisoning. The unique bromine-induced lattice oxygen substitution may constitute a key deactivation pathway in catalytic BVOC degradation, necessitating the stabilization of lattice oxygen as the pivotal challenge. Herein, we report an Sn-mediated Ru-O covalency regulation strategy to stabilize the lattice oxygen of RuO against bromine poisoning. The optimized RuSn/TiO achieves exceptional stability (>200 h) in dibromomethane oxidation, with <0.2% activity loss at 240000 mL·g·h, outperforming Ru/TiO (∼20% loss). The Ru-O covalency and lattice oxygen stability against bromine poisoning were systematically investigated. Multiple characterizations confirm the weakened Ru-O covalency, while transient CO oxidation reveals suppressed lattice oxygen depletion (5% vs 60% in pristine Ru/TiO after bromination). Theoretical calculations reveal that Sn doping lowers the O 2 band center, reducing Ru 4 and O 2 orbital overlap and thus weakening Ru-O covalency. As a result, the lattice oxygen was stabilized and protected from Br substitution due to a higher energy barrier. This study confirms the crucial influence of Ru-O covalency in stabilizing lattice oxygen against bromine poisoning, providing fundamental guidance for environmental catalytic reactions involving lattice oxygen and/or bromine species.

Dechlorination Triggers Defluorination: Novel Defluorination Pathways of Chlorinated Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (Cl-PFAS) by Nanoscale Zerovalent Iron.

Chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl substances (Cl-PFAS) are increasingly detected in contaminated environments, and the relative ease of C-Cl cleavage offers opportunities for defluorination. Herein, we demonstrated, for the first time, the dechlorination of Cl-PFAS by nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI), and we revealed that such dechlorination can induce indirect defluorination when Cl is substituted at the middle of the perfluorocarbon chain. The carbanion (-CF-CF-), generated via two successive single-electron transfer steps, is the key intermediate enabling defluorination through β-elimination of F to form alkenyl products (-CF═CF-).

Introduction: Waterborne diseases are leading concerns in emergencies. Humanitarian guidelines stipulate universal water chlorination targets, but these fail to reliably protect water as postdistribution chlorine decay can leave water vulnerable to pathogenic recontamination. The Safe Water Optimization Tool (SWOT) models chlorine decay to generate context-specific chlorination targets that ensure water remains protected up to point-of-consumption.

Iodine Species Quantification and Transformation during Chlorination in the Presence of Ammonia.

Iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) are increasingly detected in drinking water due to the widespread use of chlorination and the presence of iodide (I) in source waters. However, understanding the transformation of iodine species during disinfection remains challenging, particularly under varying ammonia concentrations. In this study, a method based on spectrophotometry and HPLC was applied to quantify I, hypoiodous acid (HOI), and iodate (IO) in various water matrices.

Asperustins K-P (-), six unreported chlorinated austocystins, were isolated from NRRL 5856. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Asperustin K () features an unprecedented carbon skeleton with a 6/6/6/5/5/6/6/6 fused octacyclic ring system, while asperustin L () represents a distinctive carbon skeleton with a 6/6/6/5/5/5 hexacyclic ring system.
