Photo-Fenton inactivation of MS2 bacteriophage at alkaline pH by Fe salts or nm to μm-sized oxides, and the Janus-faced effects of natural organic matter in surface waters

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Giulio Farinelli, Ogadimma Cassandra Oji-Okoro

In this study, MS2 bacteriophage was inactivated by homogeneous and heterogeneous photo-Fenton processes in an alkaline matrix (pH 8) using low concentrations of H2O2 and iron forms (1 mg/L), including Fe(II), Fe(III), and Fe (hydr)oxides. As a reference, ...

Persistence of the isotopic signature of pentavalent uranium in magnetite

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Barbora Bártová, Zezhen Pan

Uranium isotopic signatures can be harnessed to monitor the reductive remediation of subsurface contamination or to reconstruct paleo-redox environments. However, the mechanistic underpinnings of the isotope fractionation associated with U reduction remain ...

Antiferromagnetic resonance in a-Fe2O3 up to its Neel temperature

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Marcin Bialek

Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) is an antiferromagnetic material with a very low spin damping and high Neel temperature. The temperature dependence of the antiferromagnetic resonance in a bulk single crystal of hematite was characterized from room temperature up to ...

Surface-induced reversal of a phase transformation for the synthesis of epsilon-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with high coercivity

A metastable 8-polymorph of iron(III) oxide (epsilon-Fe2O3) is a very attractive material from the technological, engineering, and scientific points of view. In comparison with other iron oxides, it is characterized by unusual magnetic properties and a gia ...

Magnetic hyperthermia with epsilon-Fe(2)O(3)nanoparticles

Débora Bonvin

Biocompatibility restrictions have limited the use of magnetic nanoparticles for magnetic hyperthermia therapy to iron oxides, namely magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3). However, there is yet another magnetic iron oxide phase that has not been c ...

A New Reference for the Thermal Equation of State of Iron

James Badro

The high-pressure, high-temperature behavior of iron was investigated to 140 GPa and 3500 K with in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Iron samples were compressed in diamond-anvil cells and heated up with the double-sided laser-heating system installed a ...

Unfolding the action mode of light and homogeneous vs. heterogeneous photo-Fenton in bacteria disinfection and concurrent elimination of micropollutants in urban wastewater, mediated by iron oxides in Raceway Pond Reactors

César Pulgarin, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Stefanos Giannakis, Irene De La Obra Jimenez

In this work, iron oxides have been proposed as low-cost heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalysts for the simultaneous disinfection and reduction of microcontaminant load from urban wastewater in raceway pond reactors at near-neutral pH. The objective was not ...
