内容简介：

Iron-based oxidants of tetra-oxy anions of high-valent iron, commonly called ferrates (Fe^VIO₄^2-(Fe^VI), Fe^VO₄^3-(Fe^V), and Fe^IVO₄^4-(Fe^IV)) have demonstrated increasing interest in sustainable organic synthesis, green energy storage, and decontamination of a wide range of pollutants in water. In the last few years, we are interested in enhancing the oxidation capability of Fe^VIby tuning its chemistry by developing a strategy, based on fundamental chemistry of ferrates to oxidize pollutants very rapidly (30 seconds). Our approach involved intermediate species, Fe^Vand Fe^IV, which could react with pollutants by 2-4 orders of magnitude faster than Fe^VI. The presentation will give examples of enhanced oxidation of various pollutants in 30 s. It will be shown that the addition of one-electron transfer reductant (sulfite (SO₃^2-) and established oxygen-transfer reductants (hydroxylamine (NH₂OH), arsenite (As^III(OH)₃), selenite (SeO₃^2-), phosphite (PO₃^3-), and nitrite (NO₂^-)) to Fe^VIcould oxidize pollutant rapidly. Addition of sulfite resulted in enhancement up to 100%. Comparatively, oxygen-atom transfer reductants yielded enhancement up to only 40%. Elucidation of mechanisms using different reductants to Fe^VIwill be presented. Finally, removal of pharmaceuticals in urine samples urine will be discussed.
