The current study developed a Fenton-like oxidation system mediated by Cr(III) and assisted by microwave radiation at 2.45 GHz to rapidly degrade Rhodamine B (RhB). The process achieved 98% RhB degradation in 90 s under ideal batch conditions, which included a pH of 6, 0.5 mM Cr(III), 19.4 mM H₂O₂, 0.07 mM RhB, and 520 W of microwave power. Total organic carbon analysis indicated that the system achieved 55% mineralization of RhB. The hydroxyl radical was identified by fluorescence spectroscopy as the primary reactive oxygen species in this process, and UV–visible studies examined degradation kinetics. Major intermediates, including oxalic acid, methanediol, and phthalic acid, were identified by GC–MS/MS. In comparison to RhB, toxicity evaluations using the EPA’s TEST software revealed that more than 80% of the degradation products were less toxic, nonbioaccumulative, and nonmutagenic. The process capitalizes on the circular reuse of Cr(III), a common industrial waste component, as a catalytic agent. Microwave irradiation improved reaction kinetics, expanded the pH range, and lowered energy input. Additionally, transient Cr(VI) formation provided a secondary catalytic cycle without persistent toxicity. Although moderate levels of Cr(VI) were observed after multiple reuse cycles (25 mg L^–1), these can be mitigated through post-treatment reduction, ensuring compliance with discharge regulations. These results position the Cr(III)-MW-Fenton system as a rapid, energy-efficient, and environmentally safe method for sustainable wastewater treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 8","pages":"1580–1592"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144906729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hydrogen (H₂) is seen as a promising alternative to petroleum due to its non-toxic, clean combustion that only produces water and avoids carbon dioxide emissions. In this study, different ratios of ZnFe₂O₄–CeO₂ nanopowder were synthesized via the glycine nitrate process (GNP). The ZnFe₂O₄–CeO₂ nanopowder catalyst was prepared by GNP, which was immensely porous and had a cotton-like structure. Moreover, the glycine nitrate process, which is a synthesis technology, can offer the advantages of low cost, simplicity, and speed and create a porous structure for the catalyst. The BET measurement revealed that the specific surface area of the as-combusted ZnFe₂O₄–CeO₂ nanopowder varied from 8.48 m²/g to 19.82 m²/g. Hydrogen production through the SRM process was monitored by using a gas chromatograph equipped with a thermal conductivity detector. The 20ZnFe₂O₄–80CeO₂ powder had the highest H₂ production without activation, reaching 7566.08 mL STP min^–1 g-cat^–1 at a reaction temperature of 550 °C achieved at an N₂ flow rate of 30 sccm. This study indicates that the glycine nitrate process imparts a porous structure to the catalyst, thereby increasing hydrogen production. Moreover, suitable incorporation of CeO₂ could improve the catalytic performance in the SRM process on hydrogen. Therefore, ZnFe₂O₄–CeO₂ nanopowders may have significant economic prospects.</p><p >Porous ZnFe₂O₄–CeO₂ nanopowders synthesized via glycine nitrate combustion effectively enhance hydrogen production from steam reforming of methanol, offering a promising, low-cost catalyst for sustainable energy applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 8","pages":"1416–1424"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acssusresmgt.5c00140","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144906700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
