Reductive transformation of tetrachloroethene catalyzed by sulfide-cobalamin in nano-mackinawite suspension
In this study, we demonstrated the reductive substitution of aquo-cobalamin(III) (Cbl(III)-H2O) by sulfide-cobalamin(III) (Cbl(III)-S2-) in the presence of S2-. Cbl(III)-H2O was transformed to Cbl(III)-S2- via ligand substitution of H2O by S2- at its axial position, due to the weakness of the bond s...
| 总结: | In this study, we demonstrated the reductive substitution of aquo-cobalamin(III) (Cbl(III)-H2O) by sulfide-cobalamin(III) (Cbl(III)-S2-) in the presence of S2-. Cbl(III)-H2O was transformed to Cbl(III)-S2- via ligand substitution of H2O by S2- at its axial position, due to the weakness of the bond strength of cobalt with H2O. Cbl(III)-S2- was reduced to sulfide-cobalamin(II) and partially further to sulfide-cobalamin(I) as the concentration of S2- increased from 0.1 to 5.0 mM. In the presence of nanomackinawite (nFeS), Cbl(III)-S2- species were fully adsorbed onto the nFeS surface, and its reactivity was enhanced by the reactive surface chemical species. The dechlorination kinetic rate constant of tetrachloroethene by Cbl(III)-S2- in nFeS suspension (knFeS- 2- Cbl(III)-S2-= 0.008 ± 0.001 h-1) was 4 times greater than that by Cbl(III)-H2O, showing a potential role for ≡S2--Cbl(II) as a more effective electron transfer mediator than ≡Sn2--Cbl(II) and ≡OH-Cbl(II). The experimental results provide fundamental knowledge on potential biogeochemical reactions relevant to interactions between S2- and bacterial coenzyme in nFeS suspension, which can significantly enhance reductive dechlorination of chlorinated compounds in contaminated sites. © 2015 American Chemical Society. |
