A potentially practical technology based on ferrate (VI), i.e. potassium ferrate (PF), pretreatment integrated into waste activated sludge (WAS) anaerobic fermentation has been presented to greatly enhance short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production with a shortened fermentation time. The maximum production of SCFAs, 343mg chemical oxygen demand/g volatile suspended solid with acetic acid proportion of 48.2%, was obtained with PF dosage of 56mg Fe(VI)/g total suspended solid within 5days, which was increased to 5.72times compared to that of control. The mechanism study showed that PF accelerated the release rate of both intracellular and extracellular constituents. And the activities of key hydrolytic enzymes were much improved with PF addition. Moreover, PF positively enriched the abundance of microorganisms responsible for WAS hydrolysis and SCFAs production, especially acetic acid-forming characteristic genera such as Petrimonas, Fusibacter and Acetoanaerobium. Besides, the incubation time of acidogenesis and methanogenesis were separated by PF.

Waste activated sludge (WAS) pose a potential risk for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This study estimated the effect of sludge on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in anaerobic sludge digestion process. Metagenomic analysis revealed anaerobic sludge with potassium ferrate (PF) and the modified PF loaded steel slag (MPF-SS) brought an increase of ARGs during digestion process.

Biochar can serve as an activator for potassium ferrate, significantly enhancing the treatment efficiency to antibiotics. However, the mechanism by which biochar activated potassium ferrate remained unclear, necessitating further investigation. Cellulose biochar (CBC) and lignin biochar (LBC) derived by two model compounds which were the highest proportion of content in biomass were adopted to be study object, to investigate the removal efficiency of tetracycline (TC) by ferrate synergetic with CBC and LBC, respectively for the first time, and thoroughly analyzed the adsorption and degradation processes within the reaction system.

Thermal hydrolysis (TH) is effective in improving the solubilization of waste-activated sludge, but opportunities for enhancement remain, particularly in increasing organic matter conversion and reducing the generation of refractory substances. This study proposed a novel pretreatment method combining TH and potassium ferrate (PF) and evaluated its performance in improving sludge methane production. The results indicated that the combined pretreatment increased the methane yield from 118 ± 2 mL/g VS to 215 ± 7 mL/g VS, an increase of 82.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) offers a promising minimally invasive treatment for breast cancer, but its efficacy is limited by the hostile tumor microenvironment (TME), including hypoxia and high glutathione (GSH) levels. Although various strategies to improve oxygen concentration or reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) resistance for enhanced PDT have been explored, they typically require intricate design and complex synthesis of multifunctional nanocarriers. Thus, this study introduces a facile KFeO-induced strategy to enhance PDT efficiency in breast cancer through the tumor in situ synthesis of FeO and O.

This work developed a method using bamboo shoot shells as raw material to produce Fe-modified ACs combining self-activation and chemical modification. Adding small amounts (0.5-5 %) of KFeO accelerated the pyrolysis process and CO release, and reduced the activation energy and temperature of self-activation reaction.
