[NiFeSe] hydrogenases are a subgroup of the large family of [NiFe] hydrogenases in which a selenocysteine ligand coordinates the Ni atom at the active site. As observed for other selenoproteins, the [NiFeSe] hydrogenases display much higher catalytic activities than their Cys-containing homologues. Here, we review the biochemical, catalytic, spectroscopic and structural properties of known [NiFeSe] hydrogenases, namely from the Hys (group 1 [NiFeSe] hydrogenase), Fru (F420-reducing [NiFeSe] hydrogenases) and Vhu families (F420-non-reducing [NiFeSe] hydrogenases). A survey of new [NiFeSe] hydrogenases present in the databases showed that all enzymes belong to either group 1 periplasmic uptake hydrogenases (Hys) or to group 3 cytoplasmic hydrogenases (Fru and Vhu) and are present in either sulfate-re-ducing or methanogenic microorganisms. In both kinds of organisms, the [NiFeSe] hydrogenases are preferred over their Cys-containing homologues if selenium is available. Since no structural information is available for the Vhu and Fru enzymes, we have modelled the large subunit of these enzymes and analyzed the area surrounding the active site. Three [NiFeSe] hydrogenases of the Hys and Vhu types were identified in which the selenocysteine residue is found in a different location in the sequence, which could result in a different coordination to the Ni atom. The high activity and fast reactivation, together with a degree of oxygen tolerance for the H2-production activity, make the Hys hydrogenases attractive catalysts for technological applications. © 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Interface engineering is a powerful strategy for modulating electronic structure and enhancing intrinsic activity of electrocatalysts for water splitting. Here, we grow two-dimensional cobalt-iron hydroxide (CoFe-OH) nanosheets on nickel foam substrates and deposit FeOOH nanoparticles in a rapid and scalable wet chemical approach. The CoFe-OH@FeOOH nanocomposite features abundant active sites and high surface area, allowing fast kinetics for electrochemical water splitting. The electrode has a low overpotential value of 200 mV at 50 mA cm$^{−2}$ for oxygen evolution. When used as both anode and cathode for overall water splitting, CoFe-OH@FeOOH provides a low cell voltage of 1.56 V to deliver 10 mA cm$^{−2}$ current density. The synergistic activity is presumed to be from the seamless interface of CoFe-OH and FeOOH, improving conductivity and mass transfer. We envision that this simple approach may offer a new direction for designing efficient electrodes for energy conversion applications. ; This research was supported by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and by a Human Resources Development Program (20194030202470) of the Korea Institute of Energy Technology, Evaluation, and Planning (KETEP) grant funded by the Korean Government Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, Republic of Korea.

AbstractThe adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamics of fluoride ions (F−) on FeOOH powders in water were investigated to obtain fundamental information on FeOOH powders, which are used as F− adsorbents in drinking and industrial water, and industrial wastewater. FeOOH powders were prepared as precipitates by mixing aqueous FeCl3 and NaOH solutions (1:3 mol/mol) in the presence of 2,2,6,6,-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNs), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), or TEMPO-oxidized cellulose (TOC) fibers (without nanofibrillation), and subsequent drying and pulverizing. The FeOOH:TOCN, FeOOH:CMC, and FeOOH:TOC dry mass ratios were controlled at 87:13. The amount of F− adsorbed by the FeOOH/TOCN powder per FeOOH mass was higher than those adsorbed by FeOOH, FeOOH/CMC, or FeOOH/TOC. The F− adsorption isotherms on the FeOOH-containing powders showed higher correlation coefficients with the Langmuir model than with the Freundlich model. This indicates that F− adsorbed on FeOOH initially formed a monolayer, predominantly via physical adsorption. Pseudo-second-order kinetics fitted well to the time-dependent F− adsorption behaviors on the FeOOH-containing powders. Thermodynamic analysis of F− adsorption on the FeOOH-containing powders showed that the ΔG values were negative, which indicates that F− adsorption on the FeOOH-containing powders proceeded spontaneously in water. The negative ΔG value for FeOOH/TOCN was higher than those for FeOOH, FeOOH/CMC, and FeOOH/TOC at the same temperature. This shows that the FeOOH/TOCN powder can be used as an excellent and efficient F− adsorbent in water.

The extraction of iron (III) from highly concentrated chloride nickel and cobalt solutions has been studied. It has been established that tributyl phosphate is the most preferred extractant for the deep extraction of iron (III) from highly concentrated nickel solution. A mixture of aliphatic ketones and alcohols is effective for cleaning cobalt solution.

AbstractArsenic is among the major drinking water contaminants affecting populations in many countries because it causes serious health problems on long-term exposure. Two low-cost micro-sized iron oxyhydroxide-based adsorbents (which are by-products of the industrial production process of granular adsorbents), namely, micro granular ferric hydroxide (μGFH) and micro tetravalent manganese feroxyhyte (μTMF), were applied in batch adsorption kinetic tests and submerged microfiltration membrane adsorption hybrid system (SMAHS) to remove pentavalent arsenic (As(V)) from modeled drinking water. The adsorbents media were characterized in terms of iron content, BET surface area, pore volume, and particle size. The results of adsorption kinetics show that initial adsorption rate of As(V) by μTMF is faster than μGFH. The SMAHS results revealed that hydraulic residence time of As(V) in the slurry reactor plays a critical role. At longer residence time, the achieved adsorption capacities at As(V) permeate concentration of 10 μg/L (WHO guideline value) are 0.95 and 1.04 μg/mg for μGFH and μTMF, respectively. At shorter residence time of ~ 3 h, μTMF was able to treat 1.4 times more volumes of arsenic-polluted water than μGFH under the optimized experimental conditions due to its fast kinetic behavior. The outcomes of this study confirm that micro-sized iron oyxhydroxides, by-products of conventional adsorbent production processes, can successfully be employed in the proposed hybrid water treatment system to achieve drinking water guideline value for arsenic, without considerable fouling of the porous membrane.
