Iron is the first abundant transition metal in the earth's crust. Meanwhile, copper is an essential trace element that can affect the reductive reactivity of sorbed Fe(II) species through Fe(II)/Cu(II) interaction. This study aims to elucidate the impact of the Fe(II)/Cu(II) interaction in 2-nitrophenol (2-NP) reductive transformation on kaolin, TiO2, and α-FeOOH. Kinetic measurements demonstrated that 2-NP reduction rates (k) by sorbed Fe(II) species can be promoted by adding Cu(II), whereas the impact of the Fe(II)/Cu(II) interaction on different minerals differed significantly with the k values. The increasing trend in the k values (kaolin<TiO2<α-FeOOH) are consistent with the declining trend in the peak oxidation potential values (EP) of the active species obtained for the mineral-coated electrodes (kaolin/GC>TiO2/GC>α-FeOOH/GC), as well as with the increasing trend in the normalized sorbed Fe(II) density (kaolin<TiO2<α-FeOOH). This study demonstrated that the enhanced interfacial reactions of 2-NP reduction on α-FeOOH are possibly attributed to the lower EPvalues and the higher k/sorbed Fe(II) values, thereby illustrating that 2-NP reduction on α-FeOOH is slightly more sensitive to the Fe(II)/Cu(II) interaction than the two other cases. These findings promote a general understanding of the Fe(II)/Cu(II) interaction and their impact on contaminant fate in actual subsurface environments.
