Ag/AgCl/铁-海泡石异相可见光Fenton催化降解双酚A

光-Fenton技术是高级氧化技术中的一种,常用于难降解废水处理,由于其反应速度快、毒性低、反应条件温和而受到广泛关注.然而,传统的光-Fenton体系具有可见光利用率低、回收困难等缺点.为了解决这些问题,本文采用廉价易得、无污染、吸附能力强的天然矿物海泡石作为催化剂载体,并利用Ag/AgCl能够吸收可见光的表面等离子响应这一光学性质,合成了一种有潜力的非均相等离子体光催化剂Ag/AgCl/铁-海泡石催化剂(Ag/AgCl/Fe-S),并对该催化剂的形貌结构、性能和机理等进行了系统研究.通过XRD,SEM,XPS,BET,UV-vis等表征手段对催化剂形貌、结构和可见光性能进行了分析.其中,XRD和SEM结果显示,Ag/AgCl粒子已经成功负载在Fe-海泡石上;XPS结果显示,铁氧化物的组成主要为FeOOH和Fe2O3;UV-vis结果显示,催化剂有较好的可见光吸收性能.以双酚A为目标污染物,分别考察了Ag/AgCl/Fe-S,Ag/AgCl和Fe-海泡石的光-Fenton催化性能.结果显示,Ag/AgCl/Fe-S降解双酚A的效果明显优于另外两种催化剂,在H2O2浓度为6mmol/L,pH为4,光照强度500W,Ag/AgCl/Fe-S催化剂量为1.0 g/L,双酚A初始浓度为10 mg/L的条件下,1 h时,双酚A基本被完全降解,且3 h时,其矿化率达到61.2%;而Ag/AgCl和Fe-海泡石催化剂在同样的条件下完全降解双酚A至少要3 h,且其矿化率分别只有46.61%和28.85%.另外,还分别探讨了H2O2浓度、pH值、光照强度和催化剂剂量对双酚A降解的影响.最后,通过活性物种捕获、ESR、电化学和PL实验对该体系的反应机理进行了探讨.活性物种捕获实验和ESR实验结果表明,羟基自由基(?OH)和空穴(h+)是该体系中的主要活性物种,且Ag/AgCl/Fe-S+H2O2+vis体系产生的?OH明显多于Fe-S+H2O2+vis体系.为了探讨?OH增多的原因,我们进行了电化学实验和PL实验.电化学实验结果显示,Ag/AgCl/Fe-S催化剂具有更低的阻抗,因此有利于电子-空穴分离.PL结果显示,Ag/AgCl/Fe-S催化剂的电子-空穴复合率更低.结合以上实验,我们提出了Ag/AgCl/Fe-S+H2O2+vis体系对双酚A的降解机理,即一方面催化剂能够发生Fenton反应而产生?OH,另一方面,催化剂中的Ag/AgCl在可见光下由于表面等离子响应而产生电子-空穴,空穴本身可作为活性物种降解双酚A.同时,产生的电子被体系中的Fe3+捕获生成Fe2+,从而促进了铁循环,有利于体系中产生更多的?OH.最后,空穴和羟基自由基发生协同作用共同促进污染物降解.     

Bifunctional AgCl/Ag composites for SERS monitoring and low temperature visible light photocatalysis degradation of pollutant

With the assistance of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), AgCl/Ag composites were fabricated in N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent via a photoactivated route. The size of AgCl particles was in the range of 500 nm to 1 μm and the Ag particle's diameter was about 10–20 nm. Different from those core–shell structures reported before, the Ag nanoparticles were dispersed uniformly both on the surface and in the body of AgCl particles. The generation of such kind of composites was resulted from the reducing ability of DMF and light irradiation during the formation of AgCl particles. The as-obtained AgCl/Ag composites presented great activity for both surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection and visible light photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes. Additionally, the AgCl/Ag composites could maintain high photocatalytic activity even though the ambient temperature was as low as 15 °C and recycle photocatalysis experiments indicated that the photocatalyst exhibited higher stability. Such kind of AgCl/Ag composites holds great potential for environmental monitoring devices and pollutant treatments.     

Visible light driven amide synthesis in water at room temperature from Thioacid and amine using CdS nanoparticles as heterogeneous Photocatalyst

Highly efficient photocatalytic thioacid mediated amide synthesis at room temperature using CdS nanoparticles as photocatalyst was observed under a household 30 W CFL in water. The operationally mild reaction was tolerant to a number of functional group substitutions on amine and could be scaled up to gram. This heterogeneous photocatalyst was extremely stable and could easily be recovered by simple centrifugation for at least six recycling reactions without any significant loss of catalytic performance. The possible reaction mechanism for the photocatalytic thioacid mediated amide synthesis over the CdS semiconductor has also been proposed on the basis of experimental observations.

Preparation and characterization of copper/silver bimetallic nanowires with core‐shell structure

Core‐shell copper/silver bimetallic nanowires were prepared by replacement reaction with citric acid and polyvinylpyrollidone at room temperature. A uniform silver coating was obtained by strictly controlling the molar ratio of Ag/Cu. The copper/silver composite was characterized by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Microscopic analysis shows that a well‐copper/silver core‐shell structure was formed. Thermo‐gravimetry and differential thermal analysis to the composite nanowires show that the silver coatings efficiently inhibit the oxidation of Cu. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In situ synthesis and characterization of TiO2/HPM cellulose hybrid material for the photocatalytic degradation of 4-NP under visible light

Hybrid TiO₂–hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (TiO₂–HPMC) nanophotocatalysts were prepared by a simple in situ synthesis. The weight ratios of HPMC-to-TiO₂ were 5, 10 and 20%, respectively. The as-prepared nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, XPS, UV–vis DRS, ATG and BET surface area analysis. Surface morphology was assessed by the means of SEM. The photocatalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in neutral aqueous solution under visible light irradiation was examined to evaluate the efficiency of the hybrids in comparison to pure TiO₂. The results indicated that the in situ hybridization of TiO₂ with HPMC significantly increases its specific surface area and extends its light absorption range to the visible region. Consequently, TiO₂–HPMC nanocomposites were photocatalytically much more active than pure TiO₂. Moreover, the TiO₂–HPMC hybrids were found to be sufficiently photostable after five experimental runs.

Effect of copper loading on texture,structure and catalytic performance of Cu/SiO2 catalyst for hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate to ethylene glycol

Cu/SiO2 catalysts prepared by a convenient and efficient method using the urea hydrolysis deposition-precipitation (UHDP) technique have been proposed focusing on the effect of copper loading.The texture,structure and composition are systematically characterized by ICP,FTIR,N 2-physisorption,N2O chemisorption,TPR,XRD and XPS.The formation of copper phyllosilicate is observed in Cu/SiO2 catalyst by adopting UHDP method,and the amount of copper phyllosilicate is related to copper loading.It is found the structure properties and catalytic performance is profoundly affected by the amount of copper phyllosilicate.The excellent catalytic activity is attributed to the synergetic effect between Cu0 and Cu +.DMO conversion and EG selectivity are determined by the amount of Cu0 and Cu+,respectively.The proper copper loading (30 wt%) provides with the highest ratio of Cu + /Cu0,giving rise to the highest EG yield of 95% under the reaction conditions of p=2.0 MPa,T=473 K,H2/DMO=80 and LHSV=1.0h-1.

Investigation of role of urea in morphologically controlled synthesis of calcium‐bismuth bimetallic nanoparticles from chicken egg shells and its catalytic and fuel additive applications

A comparative study on the role of urea in controlling the morphology of calcium‐bismuth (Ca₅Bi₃) bimetallic nanoparticles is carried out. Calcium‐bismuth bimetallic nanoparticles are synthesized in the presence and absence of urea using the solvothermal method. The morphology of the synthesized products is analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The composition of the product is analyzed by energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopic and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Reitveld refinements are performed on the XRD data, and lattice parameters are optimized. Reitveld‐refined parameters are used to construct the structural model of the calcium‐bismuth product. The formation mechanism of needle like particles from an orthorhombic unit cell is also proposed. The degradation of Congo red dye is catalyzed by synthesized Ca₅Bi₃ bimetallic nanoneedles in an aqueous medium. The effect of catalyst dose on the apparent rate constant (k_app) of degradation is studied and compared with literature. Ca₅Bi₃ bimetallic nanoneedles are also used as an additive in commercial diesel obtained from Pakistan State Oil, Limited. The effect of an additive dose on the calorific value of diesel is studied. How the Ca₅Bi₃ additive influenced other fuel quality parameters such as flash point, fire point, pour point, cloud point, kinematic viscosity, and specific gravity is also studied.     

Redox behavior of V/MgO catalyst in H2S wet oxidation at room temperature

The room temperature wet catalytic oxidation was conducted in a batch reactor with V/MgO catalyst. The XRD study of the catalyst used indicated that V/MgO could not only oxidize H2S to sulfur selectively, but also prevent the sulfidation of metal oxide effectively at the room temperature. The XPS study indicated that the H2S oxidation with V/MgO could proceed by a redox mechanism (V⁵⁺↔ V⁴⁺) and that V³⁺ formation (V⁴⁺→ V³⁺), was responsible for the deactivation of V/MgO. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Solvent-controlled selective synthesis of a trans-configured benzimidazoline-2-ylidene palladium(II) complex and investigations of its Heck-type catalytic activity

Reaction of N,N′-dimethylbenzimidazolyl iodide (A) with Pd(OAc)₂ in DMSO gives selectively trans-bis(N,N′-dimethylbenzimidazoline-2-ylidene) palladium(II) diiodide (trans-2) in 77% yield. The selective formation of the trans-coordination isomer and thus the cis-trans rearrangement is driven by the insolubility of trans-2 in DMSO. X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy confirm the trans-geometry of the square planar Pd(II) complex. Catalytic studies show that cis-1 and trans-2 are highly efficient in the Mizoroki-Heck coupling reaction of aryl bromides and activated aryl chlorides both in DMF and [N(n-C₄H₉)₄]Br as ionic liquid. The catalytic activities of Pd(II) complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands derived from benzimidazole are comparable to their imidazole-derived analogues.
