Synthesis and application of magnetically recyclable nanocatalyst Fe3O4@Nico@Cu in the reduction of azo dyes

A novel method for synthesizing magnetically recyclable nanocatalyst Fe3O4@Nico@Cu (Nico =nicotinic acid) was introduced. The structural, morphological, and magnetic properties of the nano-catalyst were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry. Finally, Fe3O4@Nico@Cu was examined toward the hydrogenation of azo dyes methyl orange, methylene blue, eosin Y, and rho-damine B. The nanocatalyst showed excellent reusability properties that remained unchanged after several catalytic cycles. Therefore, the current findings show the potential of the prepared Fe3O4@Nico@Cu nanocatalyst as a candidate for application in the purification of organic aqueous pollutants for wastewater treatment.

Novel Approach for the Decoration of Magnetic Carbon Nanospheres with Platinum Nanoparticles and Their Enhanced Peroxidase Activity for the Colorimetric Detection of H2O2

Pt/Fe3O4-DIB-DETA-CNS(PFDDC)nanocomposite(DIB=2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde;DETA=diethylenetfiamine;CNS=carbon nanosphere)was synthesized by dispersing Pt nanoparticles on magnetic carbon nanospheres. The structure,morphology and composition of the nanocomposite were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). In addition,the nanocomposite showed superior peroxidase-like activity towards 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB) with a visual color change in the presence of hydrogen peroxide(H2O2).Therefore,the PFDDC nanocomposite provides a sensing platform for the colorimetric detection of H2O2 with high sensitivity and selectivity.Furthermore,the nanocomposite can be conveniently preserved and separated.These features enable the nanocomposite to colorimetrically detect H2O2 for potential pharmaceutical,environmental and industrial applications.     

铂沉积对Ga2O3-SiO2纳米粒子光催化性能的提高（英文）

Ga2O3‐SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared by a sol‐gel method and Pt was then immobilized on their surface via photo‐assisted deposition (PAD). The produced samples were characterized using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence emission spectroscopy, and surface area measurements. The catalytic performances of the Ga2O3‐SiO2 and Pt/ Ga2O3‐SiO2 samples were evaluated for the degradation of cyanide using visible light. XRD and EDX results showed that the Pt was well dispersed within the Ga2O3‐SiO2 phase and was detected on the surface of the catalyst, which confirmed the successful loading of Pt ions by the PAD method. BET results revealed that the surface area of Ga2O3‐SiO2 was higher than that of Pt/Ga2O3‐SiO2 . 0.3 wt% Pt/Ga2O3‐SiO2 exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity for degradation of cyanide under visible light. The catalyst could be reused with no loss in activity for the first 10 cycles.     

A facile and green synthetic approach toward fabrication of starch-stabilized magnetite nanoparticles

A facile and green synthetic approach for fabrication of starch-stabilized magnetite nanoparticles was implemented at moderate temperature. This synthesis involved the use of iron salts, potato starch,sodium hydroxide and deionized water as iron precursors, stabilizer, reducing agent and solvent respectively. The nanoparticles(NPs) were characterized by UV-vis, PXRD, HR-TEM, FESEM, EDX, VSM and FT-IR spectroscopy. The ultrasonic assisted co-precipitation technique provides well formation of highly distributed starch/Fe_3O_4-NPs. Based on UV–vis analysis, the sample showed the characteristic of surface plasmon resonance in the presence of Fe_3O_4-NPs. The PXRD pattern depicted the characteristic of the cubic lattice structure of Fe_3O_4-NPs. HR-TEM analysis showed the good dispersion of NPs with a mean diameter and standard deviation of 10.68 4.207 nm. The d spacing measured from the lattice images were found to be around 0.30 nm and 0.52 nm attributed to the Fe3O4 and starch, respectively. FESEM analysis confirmed the formation of spherical starch/Fe_3O_4-NPs with the emission of elements of C, O and Fe by EDX analysis. The magnetic properties illustrated by VSM analysis indicated that the as synthesized sample has a saturation magnetization and coercivity of 5.30 emu/g and 22.898 G respectively.Additionally, the FTIR analysis confirmed the binding of starch with Fe_3O_4-NPs. This method was cost effective, facile and eco-friendly alternative for preparation of NPs.     

Adsorption of As(III) from aqueous solution based on porous magnetic/chitosan/ferric hydroxide microspheres prepared via electrospraying

Porous chitosan(CS)/magnetic(Fe3O4 )/ferric hydroxide(Fe(OH)3 ) microsphere as novel and low-cost adsorbents for the removal of As(Ⅲ) have been synthesized via the electrospraying technology by a simple process of two steps. Characterization of the obtained adsorbents was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The adsorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherms were investigated in batch experiments. The Langmuir, Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic models agree well with the experimental data. The adsorption of As(Ⅲ) onto CS/Fe3O4 /Fe(OH)3 microspheres occurred rapidly and reached adsorption equilibrium after about 45 min. The maximum adsorption capacity of CS/Fe3O4 /Fe(OH)3 microspheres, calculated by the Langmuir isotherm model, was 8.47 mg g-1 , which is higher than that of CS/Fe3O4 /Fe(OH) 3 prepared by the conventional method (4.72 mg g-1 ). The results showed that the microspheres had a high adsorption capacity for As(Ⅲ) and a high separation efficiency due to their microporous structure and superparamagnetic characteristics. Present research may eventually lead to a simple and low cost method for fabricating microporous materials and application for removal of arsenic from aqueous solution.

Silica-coated CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared and used as a support for the immobilization of 12-tungstophosphoric acid, to produce a new magnetically separable catalyst. This catalyst was characterized using X-ray diffraction, wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, laser par-ticle size analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The catalyst showed high activity in the selective oxidation of thioethers and thiophenes to the corresponding sulfones under mild condi-tions. The catalytic activity of the nanocatalyst in the oxidative desulfurization of model oil was investigated. The effect of nitrogen-containing compounds on sulfur removal from the model oil was also evaluated. The catalyst showed high activity in the oxidative desulfurization of diesel. The cata-lyst can be readily isolated from the oxidation system using an external magnet and no obvious loss of activity was observed when the catalyst was reused in four consecutive runs.

In this study, Fe3O4nanoparticles（Fe3O4NPs） were successfully prepared via oxidation–precipitation method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, X-ray diffraction（XRD） and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FT-IR）. The characterization results indicated that Fe3O4 NPs with regular crystal structure and a narrow of diameters had been synthesized successfully and had high purity. A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the degradation of Orange II by the obtained heterogeneous Fe3O4 catalysts in the presence of H2O2. The response surface methodology（RSM） based on Box–Behnken design（BBD） was employed to design and optimize individual and interactive effects of the four main independent parameters（catalyst loading, initial p H, reaction temperature and H2O2concentration） on decolorization efficiency of Orange II. A significant quadratic model（p-value 〈0.0001, R2= 0.9369） was derived using analysis of variance（ANOVA）. Optimum conditions were catalyst loading of 1.5 g/L, initial p H of 2.7, reaction temperature of 42 8C and H2O2 concentration of 22 mmol/L, respectively. The predicted decolorization rate under the optimum conditions as determined by the proposed model was 99.55%. Confirmatory tests were carried out and the decolorization rate of 99.49% was observed under the optimum conditions, which agreed well with the model prediction.
