Degradation of carbofuran in aqueous solution by Fe(III) aquacomplexes as effective photocatalysts

The photodegradation of carbofuran by excitation of iron(III) aquacomplexes was investigated under UV irradiation. The degradation rate was strongly influenced by the pH, and initial concentration of Fe(III). The degradation efficiency of carbofuran at the difference pH was in good agreement with the initial concentration of Fe(OH)²⁺ in the solution. An initial carbofuran concentration of 10 mg L⁻¹ was completely degraded within 50 min at pH 2.8 with original Fe(III) concentration of 8 × 10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹. This degradation reaction was found to follow the first order kinetics law and the rate constant of 1.60 × 10⁻³ s⁻¹ was observed. The decrease of TOC content was observed during the photocatalytic process and the removal percentage obtained was about 70% after 25 h. Furthermore, ammonium ion as an end-product was detected in the solution. Therefore, this process based on the catalytic reaction of Fe(II, III) is responsible for the continuous production of hydroxyl radicals in such system. A gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis showed the formation of four photoproducts, such as 2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-benzofuran-7-ol, etc., revealing that the carbamate branch, C-3 and C-2 positions in furan ring were attack targets of hydroxyl radicals. Based on these results, the photocatalytic system could be useful technology for the treatment and the mineralization of compounds like carbofuran.     

Role of oxygen in the degradation of atrazine by UV/Fe(III) process

In this study, the role of oxygen in the regeneration of Fe(III) during the degradation of atrazine in UV/Fe(III) process was studied. The degradations of atrazine in UV/Fe(III) and UV-photolysis processes in the presence and absence of oxygen were compared. The results showed that the degradations of atrazine in these processes followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics well. The process exhibiting the highest rate constant (k) was UV/Fe(III)/air process, because k-value for UV/Fe(III)/air process was about 1.47, 2.23 and 2.56 times of those for UV/Fe(III)/N₂, UV/air and UV/N₂ processes, respectively. The degradation of atrazine was enhanced by oxygen in UV/Fe(III) process and the enhancement was more remarkable at higher initial concentrations of Fe(III). The investigation into the changes of Fe(III) concentrations demonstrated that the presence of oxygen led to the regeneration of Fe(III), which resulted in the enhancement of atrazine degradation. With air bubbling, the ferric ions were 25% more than those with N₂ bubbling. The experimental data showed the regeneration of Fe(III) required the excited organic molecules and oxygen and on the basis of these results, the regeneration mechanism of Fe(III) was proposed. It was also found that due to the oxidation of Fe(II), the degradation of atrazine in UV/Fe(II)/air process was effective at a low Fe(II) concentration of 7 mg/L, similar to that in UV/Fe(III)/air process. This study makes clear the role of oxygen in the regeneration of Fe(III), and thus it provides a guide to reduce the input of Fe(III) and is helpful to the application of UV/Fe(III) process in practice.     

Fe(III)-pyruvate and Fe(III)-citrate induced photodegradation of glyphosate in aqueous solutions

The photolysis of Fe(III)-pyruvate and Fe(III)-citrate complexes in water produces hydroxyl radicals in the presence of dissolved oxygen, and can promote the oxidation of organic compounds. The photodegradation of glyphosate with Fe(III)-pyruvate and Fe(III)-citrate complexes was investigated under irradiation at λ?≥?365?nm. The effect of initial concentration of glyphosate, the initial pH value, and the Fe(III)/carboxylate ratio were examined. Upon irradiation of glyphosate aqueous solution with the complexes in the acidic range of natural waters, the bioavailable orthophosphate could be released from degradation of glyphosate. The amount of orthophosphate increased with increasing Fe(III)/carboxylate ratio.     

Phosphoprotein electrophoresis in the presence of Fe(III) ions

Preparation of affinity polyacrylamide gels containing immobilized Fe(III) ions for the separation of proteins exhibiting metal ion binding properties is described. The presented method enables uniform distribution of immobilized metal ions in the affinity part of the polyacrylamide separating gel. Affinity gels prepared by this way are suitable to follow the effect of different concentrations of metal ions immobilized in polyacrylamide gel on a protein electrophoretic behavior. Polyacrylamide gels containing immobilized Fe(III) ions were used to study the electrophoretic behavior of two model proteins differing in their phosphate group content: chicken ovalbumin and bovine α‐casein. For the electrophoretic separation, both the native and the denaturating conditions were used.     

Simultaneous determination of Fe(II) and Fe(III) by kinetic spectrophotometric H-point standard addition method

The H-point standard addition method (HPSAM) for simultaneous determination of Fe(II) and Fe(III) is described. The method is based on the difference in the rate of complex formation of iron in two different oxidation states with Gallic acid (GA) at pH 5. Fe(II) and Fe(III) can be determined in the range of 0.02–4.50 μg ml⁻¹ and 0.05–5.00 μg ml⁻¹, respectively, with satisfactory accuracy and precision in the presence of other metal ions, which rapidly form complexes with GA under working conditions. The proposed method was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of Fe(II) and Fe(III) in several environmental and synthetic samples with different concentration ratios of Fe(II) and Fe(III).     

Limitation of ferrozine method for Fe(II) detection: reduction kinetics of micromolar concentration of Fe(III) by ferrozine in the dark

The dark reduction kinetics of micromolar concentrations of Fe(III) in aqueous solution were studied in the presence of millimolar concentrations of ferrozine (FZ) over the pH range 4.0–7.0. A pseudo-first-order kinetics model was used to describe Fe(III) reduction at pH 4.0 and 5.0, and the reduction rate decreased with increasing pH or initial Fe(III) concentration. A more molecular-based kinetics model was developed to describe Fe(III) reduction at pH 6.0 and 7.0. From this model, the intrinsic rate constants (k₁) of Fe(III) reduction by FZ in the dark were obtained as 0.133 ± 0.004 M^?1 s^?1 at pH 6.0 and 0.101 ± 0.009 M^?1 s^?1 at pH 7.0. It was also found in this model that a higher pH, a higher concentration of Fe(III), a lower concentration of FZ and less incubation time led to a lower fraction of Fe(III) reduction by FZ in the dark.     

On-line solid-phase extraction and multisyringe flow injection analysis of Al(III) and Fe(III) in drinking water

A new analytical method was developed for on-line monitoring of residual coagulants (aluminium and iron salts) in potable water. The determination was based on a sequential procedure coupling an extraction/enrichment step of the analytes onto a modified resin and a spectrophotometric measurement of a surfactant-sensitized binary complex formed between eluted analytes and Chrome Azurol S. The optimization of the solid phase extraction was performed using factorial design and a Doehlert matrix considering six variables: sample percolation rate, sample metal concentration, flow-through sample volume (all three directly linked to the extraction step), elution flow rate, concentration and volume of eluent (all three directly linked to the elution step). A specific reagent was elaborated for sensitive and specific spectrophotometric determination of Al(III) and Fe(III), by optimizing surfactant and ligand concentrations and buffer composition. The whole procedure was automated by a multisyringe flow injection analysis (MSFIA) system. Detection limits of 4.9 and 5.6 μg L⁻¹ were obtained for Al(III) and Fe(III) determination , respectively, and the linear calibration graph up to 300 μg L⁻¹ (both for Al(III) and Fe(III)) was well adapted to the monitoring of drinking water quality. The system was successfully applied to the on-site determination of Al(III) and Fe(III) at the outlet of two water treatment units during two periods of the year (winter and summer conditions).     

An Fe(III) Complex with the Dianionic form of 2,6-Diacetylpyridine Bis(Acylhydrazone). The Crystal Structure of [Diaqua-2′,2′′′-(2,6-PyridinediyldiEthylidyne)Dioxamohydrazide]Iron(III) Perchlorate Trihydrate, [Fe(dapsox)(H2O)2]ClO4·3H2O

The title compound was prepared by a template synthesis from 2,6-diacetylpyridine, dioxamohydrazide and Fe(ClO₄)₃·6H₂O(mol ratio 1:2:1) in MeOH/H₂O(3:1) solution and its structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; triclinic, space group P1, a = 7.5186(7), b = 10.9730(9), c = 14.6110(10) Å, α = 95.866(1), β = 100.252(1), γ = 92.895(1), z = 2. The polydentate ligand is coordinated as a dianionic pentadentate while water molecules occupy apical positions in the structure. This is the first example of a monomeric, pentagonal bipyramidal structure of an Fe(III) complex with a dianionic bis(acylhydrazone) derivative of 2,6-diacetylpyridine.     

Influence of the chain and layer structure of Fe(III) and In(III) aqua-pentachloro-complexes on the bending vibrations of water molecules

Studies of IR and Raman spectra of monohydrates M^I₂[M^IIICl₅(H₂O)] (where M^I=K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺ and M^III=Fe³⁺, In³⁺) at 1400-1900 cm⁻¹ have been carried out. The medium intensity band, detected in the region 1580-1595 cm⁻¹ was assigned to bending vibrations of water molecules (δHOH). The shift of the δHOH band towards low wavenumbers (1580-1595 cm⁻¹) is a main sign of the water molecule interactions in the chain hydrates. Additionally in the IR and Raman spectra of these salts, the appearance of the low intensity band between 1750 and 1810 cm⁻¹ (ν_x(H₂O)) was observed. In the presented paper we also discuss the influence of M^I and M^III cations on the position and splitting of these bands.     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Piroxicam via Chelation with Fe(III) in Commercial Dosage Forms

The objective of this work is to develop and validate spectrophotometric method for the determination of piroxicam in commercial dosage forms. The method is based on the chelation of the drug with Fe(III) to form pink coloured metal chelate at room temperature which absorbs maximally at 504 nm. Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range of 8–160 μg mL^?1 (A = 1.07 × 10^?3 + 7.75 × 10^?3 C). Under the optimized experimental conditions, proposed method is validated as per the International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines. The limits of detection and quantitation for the proposed method are 0.775 and 2.348 μg mL^?1, respectively. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of piroxicam in commercial dosage forms. The results are compared with the reference El‐Ries et al. spectrophotometric method.     

Fe(III) sequestering agents built on poly(ethylenimine) through crosslinkage of three molecules of a salicylate derivative preassembled by Fe(III) ion

Three molecules of 5-(bromoacetyl) salicylate ( 1 ) complexed to Fe(III) ion were crosslinked with poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) in DMSO by alkylation of amino groups of PEI with 1 , leading to the formation of Fe(Sal)₃PEI, a water-soluble polymer. Several other derivatives including the immobilized form were also prepared. Examination of the values of log K_f for the PEI derivatives indicated that each Fe(III) binding site in Fe(Sal)₃PEI contains three salicylate moieties. In addition, the log K_f revealed that the effective molarity (EM) of the salicylate groups contained in the Fe(III) binding site is ca. 1000M. The high EM value shows that the geometry of the coordination sphere is well conserved during the crosslinkage with PEI of 1 preassembled around Fe(III) ion. In view of the EM value and the pK_a values of salicylic phenols in apo(Sal)₃-PEI, the metal-free form, the three salicylate groups of each Fe(III) binding site appear to occupy proximal positions leading to effective cooperation in Fe(III) binding. Fast, strong, and selective binding of Fe(III) ion by the binding site comprising three salicylate moieties was demonstrated. In addition, rapid demetalation of the resulting complexes as well as chemical stability of the immobilized chelating agents built on PEI were achieved. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A new efficient adsorbent in the preconcentration studies of the Cr(III) and Fe(III) ions

In this study, the imine‐graphene hybrid material (HM) was used as an adsorbent for removal of Fe(III) and Cr(III) metal ions from the drinking waters. The adsorbent material (HM) was prepared at three steps. At the first step, the graphite was oxidized by Hummer's method for preparation of graphene oxide (GO), in the second step, the silanization derivative (GO‐APTES) was obtained from the reaction of the 3‐(trimethoxysilyl) propylamine and GO. In the final step, the hybrid material (HM) was synthesized from the reaction of the 3,5‐diiodosalicylaldehyde and GO‐APTES. The chemical structures of three materials GO, GO‐APTES and HB were characterized by using the FT‐IR, XRD, EDX, SEM, TEM and UV‐vis methods. Thermal properties of the materials GO, GO‐APTES and HB were investigated by TGA/DTA methods in the 25–1000°C temperature range. Adsorption and desorption studies of the hybrid material toward Fe(III) and Cr(III) metal ions were investigated using the Batch method. The effect of pH, contact time, temperature, concentration on the adsorption properties of the hybrid material were investigated by ICP‐OES. The Fe(III) and Cr(III) ions have the maximum adsorption at the pH 7. The adsorption capacity decreases with the increase in pH values because above pH 9 the adsorption decreases due to the precipitation of metal hydroxide.     

Degradation of tributyltin chloride in water photoinduced by iron(III)

The degradation of tributyltin chloride (TBT) photoinduced by iron(III) was investigated. Upon irradiation at λ_excitation >300 nm a photoredox process was observed, yielding iron(II) and ^·2OH radicals. The disappearance of TBT was proved to involve only an attack by ^·2OH radicals: the quantum yield of TBT disappearance was determined. A wavelength effect was observed; the shorter the excitation wavelength, the higher the rate of TBT disappearance. Most of the photoproducts were identified and the mechanism of degradation was elucidated. The main route to degradation is a stepwise debutylation of TBT to di‐ and mono‐butyltin with final formation of inorganic tin. The complete mineralization of TBT was achieved with long irradiation times, leading to innocuous inorganic tin. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The excited states of bipyridyl and phenanthroline complexes of Fe(III), Ru(II) and Ru(III): A molecular orbital study

The semiempirical zero-differential-overlap molecular orbital model which was shown in earlier papers in this series to give a good account of the charge transfer and -* spectra of Fe(II) complexes with conjugated ligands such as 2,2-bipyridyl and 1,10-phenanthroline is extended to complexes having openshell ground states, such as those of Fe(III), and to complexes of Ru(II) and Ru(III). The results are used to assign the observed charge transfer and intra-ligand absorption bands to specific orbital transitions. Observed and calculated intensities are in good agreement: reasons are advanced for the much lower intensity of the charge transfer bands in Ru(III) compared to Ru(II) complexes.     

The Binding Affinity of Fe(III) to Aspartic Acid and Glutamic Acid Monohydroxamates

The solution spectra of Fe(III) complexes with aspartic acid (ASX) and glutamic acid (GLX) monohydroxamates were analyzed in the UV-Vis region for different complex species using STAR-94 programs in the pH range ¨ 1.0-4.0, at ionic strength (I) of 0.15 M NaCl and T = 25°C. Several monomeric complex species were obtained including some mixed hydroxo species. The reaction kinetics of the Fe(III)-(ASX or GLX) systems were carried out at I = 0.15 M NaCl and T = 25°C in the time range of the stopped-flow method. The pseudofirst-order rate constants were pH as well as T _L (analytic concentration of ASX or GLX) dependent, i.e. k _obs,i = A_i + B _i T_L (at a given pH _i ) where A_i and B_i are pH-dependent parameters.     

Simple flow injection method for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of Fe(II) and Fe(III)

The method is based on spectrophotometric determination of Fe(II) and Fe(III) at a single wavelength (530 nm) with the use of a dedicated reversed-flow injection system. In the system, EDTA solution is injected into a carrier stream (HNO₃) and then merged with a sample stream containing a mixture of sulfosalicylic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline as indicators. In an acid environment (pH ≅ 3) the indicators form complexes with both Fe(III) and Fe(II), but EDTA replaces sulfosalicylic acid, forming a more stable colourless complex with Fe(III), whereas Fe(II) remains in a complex with 1,10-phenenthroline. As a result, the area and minimum of the characteristic peak can be exploited as measures corresponding to the Fe(III) and Fe(II) concentrations, respectively. The analytes were not found to affect each other's signals, hence two analytical curves were constructed with the use of a set of standard solutions, each containing Fe(II) and Fe(III). Both analytes were determined in synthetic samples within the concentration ranges of 0.05–4.0 and 0.09–6.0 mg L⁻¹, respectively, with precision less than 1.5 and 2.6% (RSD) and with accuracy less than 4.3 and 5.6% (RE). The method was applied to determination of the analytes in water samples collected from artesian wells and the results of the determination were consistent with those obtained using the ICP-OES technique.     

Stability of chromate electrolytes containing ions of Cr(III)

The reason for the unstable influence of Cr(III) on the maximum rate of incomplete reduction of chromic acid is studied by a method of cyclic voltammetry and analytical investigations of the electrolyte composition. It is established that the decrease in the maximum rate of electrochemical reaction Cr(VI) → Cr(III) is due to the drop of concentration of free sulfate ions in the electrolyte. The drop of the concentration of free sulfate ions increases with the content of electrochemically synthesized ions of Cr(III) in the solution. The decrease in the concentration of sulfate ions is assumed to stem from the formation of unstable complexes of Cr(III) with sulfate ions. Sulfate ions regain their initial concentration with time and upon heating solution to 50–70°C, which facilitates dissociation of unstable sulfate complexes of Cr(III). It is shown that the concentration of sulfate ions in the solution remains invariant during chemical reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), which points to the formation of inert complexes of Cr(III) that make no impact on the rate of incomplete reduction of chromic acid.     

Photocatalytic reaction by Fe(III)–citrate complex and its effect on the photodegradation of atrazine in aqueous solution

The photodegradation of atrazine in aqueous solutions containing citrate and Fe(III) was studied under Xe lamp irradiation on a time scale of hours. It was found that the presence of Fe(III)–citrate complex enhanced the photodegradation rate of atrazine as a result of OH attack. Atrazine photodegradation followed first-order reaction kinetics and the rate depended upon pH and light intensity. High citrate concentrations led to increased photodegradation of atrazine due to the fact that citrate not only acted as a carboxylate ligand but also a reductant of Fe(III). The interaction of Fe(III) with citrate was characterized using UV–visible absorption and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, indicating that the hydrogen ions on the carboxyl groups were exchanged for Fe(III) ions. On the basis of these results, a reaction scheme was proposed in which the cycling of iron and carbon, the depletion of citrate and O₂, and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were involved.     

A Novel Spectrophotometric Method for the Determination of Levodopa with the Detection System of Potassium Ferricyanide‐Fe(III)

In this paper, a novel method has been established to determine levodopa with the detection system of potassium ferricyanide‐Fe(III). In the presence of potassium ferricyanide, it has been demonstrated that Fe(III) is reduced to Fe(II) by levodopa at pH 4.0. In addition, the in situ formed Fe(II) reacts with potassium ferricyanide to form soluble prussian blue (KFe^III[Fe^II(CN)₆]). Beer's law is obeyed in the range of levodopa concentrations of 0.01–4.00 μg mL^?1 at the maximal absorption wavelength of 735 nm. The linear regression equation is A = 0.0082 + 0.61365 C (μg mL^?1) with a correlation coefficient of 0.9996. The detection limit (3σ/k) is 9 ng mL^?1, and R.S.D. is 0.73% (n = 11). Moreover, the apparent molar absorption coefficient of indirect determination of levodopa is 1.2 × 10⁵ Lmol^?1cm^?1. The parameters with regard to determination are optimized, and the reaction mechanism is discussed. This method has been successfully applied to determine levodopa in pharmaceutical, serum and urine samples. Analytical results obtained with this novel assay are satisfactory.
