紫外/TiO2/芬顿复合工艺增强在近中性pH值下对布洛芬的降解能力

药品及个人护理品(PPCPs)造成的潜在环境污染已引起广泛关注. 布洛芬(IBP, 2-(4-异丁基苯基)丙酸)作为苯丙酸类非甾体抗炎药物, 是一种在水环境中广泛检测到的PPCPs类物质. 水环境中的IBP主要来自制药企业排放和人体代谢物, 因IBP具有不易挥发、物理性质稳定、半衰期较长和不易被生物吸收等特点, 其在环境的残留浓度较高且污染风险大. 目前,传统的水处理工艺并不能有效治理水中的IBP, 比如: 混凝剂和絮凝剂对IBP的去除效率低, 吸附和膜处理运行成本过高且不能矿化IBP. 近年兴起的光催化技术利用·OH和O2·-等强氧化性活性物种降解水中有机污染物, 将其彻底矿化, 实现污染物的无害处理. 光催化技术适用于常温、常压和中性pH环境, 该环境特点与污水环境十分匹配, 适合应用. 但异质光催化通常发生在催化剂表面, 有效反应活性位少, 反应速率不够高. 相比而言, 同质芬顿反应能够均匀、快速地在整个溶液中发生反应, 但芬顿反应必须在酸性条件下才可以进行.本文整合了异相光催化和均相光-芬顿反应的优点, 设计了紫外/TiO2/芬顿(PCF)复合工艺, 评估了在中性pH下对典型的PPCPs布洛芬的降解效果. 对比实验结果表明, PCF复合工艺对IBP的降解速率比传统的UV, UV/H2O2, Fenton, 光-Fenton和光催化快得多. 动力学分析发现, IBP的降解遵循两阶段的一级反应动力学, 且速率常数k1> k2. 本研究进一步优化了运行参数, 确定IBP降解的最佳条件为: pH = 4.2, [Fe2+]0= 0.20 mmol/L, [Fe2+]0/[H2O2]0= 1/40, [TiO2]0= 1.0 g/L. pH值的增加造成IBP降解速率略微降低, 但在30 min反应时间内, 中性pH (6.0-8.0)与最佳pH条件下的降解效率完全相同, 证明PCF在中性pH下进行水处理切实可行. 数据分析发现, lnk1和lnk2均与1/pH0, [IBP]0, [H2O2]0, [H2O2]0/[Fe2+]0和ln[TiO2]0线性相关, 据此建立了IBP去除效率的数学预测模型, 通过验证发现, 动力学模型曲线与实验数据高度契合, 表明模型的有效性高.     

Improving surface structure of photocatalytic self‐cleaning membrane by WO3/PANI nanoparticles

To create a self‐cleaning feature and improve antifouling property, polysulfone (PSf) membranes were modified with WO₃ and polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles (0–2 wt%) via phase inversion method for ultrafiltration of landfill leachate. The mass ratio of WO₃ nanoparticles was varied between 0, 40 and 60 wt% in different loadings. All synthesized membranes were tested with and without UV irradiation to evaluate the self‐cleaning feature. The synthesized PANI was analyzed with scanning electron morphology (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The surface hydrophilicity of the modified membranes increases with increasing the nanoparticle loadings (0–2 wt%). The membrane morphology indicated higher porosity and more finger like pores for the modified membranes. The porosity of 86.8% was achieved for the membrane containing 2 wt% PANI. The flux recovery ratio (FR) of membranes without UV radiation was increased by increasing the ratio of PANI to WO₃ nanoparticles, while the antifouling ability of membranes including WO₃ nanoparticles improved and reached to 98.87% after UV radiation. The highest COD removal before (76.65 %) and after (78.42%) UV radiation was obtained for the membrane containing 2 wt% nanoparticle loading. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Visible light induced cross-coupling synthesis of asymmetrical heterobiaryls using Pd/CeO2 nanocomposite photocatalyst

Visible light induced efficient activation of persulfate by a carbon quantum dots (CQDs) modified γ-Fe2O3 catalyst

In this study, a carbon quantum dots modified maghemite catalyst (CQDs@γ-Fe₂O₃) has been synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method for efficient persulfate (PDS) activation under visible light irradiation. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS) characterization indicated that the formation of heterojunction structure between CQDs and γ-Fe₂O₃ effectively reduced the catalyst band gap (E_g), favoring the separation rate of electrons and holes, leading to remarkable efficient sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation as compared to the dark-CQDs@γ-Fe₂O₃/PDS and vis-γ-Fe₂O₃/PDS systems. The evolution of dissolved irons also demonstrated that CQDs could accelerate the in-situ reduction of surface-bounded Fe³⁺. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and radical scavenging experiments demonstrated that both OH and SO₄⁻ were generated in the reaction system, while OH was relatively more dominant than SO₄⁻ for SMX degradation. Finally, the reaction mechanism in the vis-CQDs@γ-Fe₂O₃/PDS system was proposed involving an effective and accelerated heterogeneous-homogeneous iron cycle. CQDs would enrich the photo-generated electrons from γ-Fe₂O₃, causing efficient interfacial generation of surface-bond Fe²⁺ and reduction of adsorbed Fe³⁺. This visible light induced iron cycle would eventually lead to effective activation of PDS as well as the efficient degradation of SMX.     

Visible light photoelectrocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B using a dye-sensitised TiO2 electrode

Titanium dioxide is a promising catalyst for application in the photodegradation of organic pollutants in water due to its powerful oxidising property and long-term photostability. This study presents the production of titanium dioxide using the sol-gel process, dye sensitisation of the TiO₂ electrode, and the performance of that cell. Sensitisation of titanium dioxide was performed using a dye, i.e., Fe(II)-polypyridyl complexes. The photoelectrocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RB) using ITO/TiO₂/dye as electrode was investigated via a series of potentials, from +1.0 V to ?1.0 V, and at various pH and NaCl concentration values (ITO is indium tin oxide conductive glass). The photoelectrocatalytic degradation of RB was performed with a visible light lamp. The change in the absorbance of RB with various potentials indicated that the absorbance of RB in solution systems with the sensitised TiO₂ electrodes decreased with increasing anodic potential bias. The degradation cell exhibited better performance when the positive anodic bias was applied. The pH values of RB in solution systems also influence the photoelectrodegradation process because of the different RB species present. NaCl concentration also affects the activity of RB photoelectrocatalytic degradation due to changes in the ionic strength character of the electrolyte.

Visible light photocatalytic reduction of water using SrSnO3 sensitized by CuFeO2

SrSnO_3–δ, prepared in sealed ampoules, crystallizes in the perovskite structure. The band gap is directly allowed at 3.93 eV. The conductivity was found to change markedly and occurs by polaron hopping with activation energy of 0.22 eV. The thermal variation of the thermopower indicates an electron mobility μ_{e 300K} = 3.15∙10^–6 cm²∙V^–1∙s^–1), thermally activated. The capacitance measurement shows a linear behavior from which a flat band potential of –0.20 V_SCE and an electronic density of 5.56∙10¹⁸ cm^–3 were determined. The conduction band edge (–4.32 eV/–0.42 V_SCE) lies below the H₂O/H₂ level. Accordingly, SrSnO_3–δ can be used for water photoreduction when combined with the delafossite CuFeO₂ as sensitizer.

Deactivation of the TiO2 photocatalyst by coupling with WO3 and the electrochemically assisted high photocatalytic activity of WO3

Patterned TiO2 stripes were formed on a sol-gel crystalline WO3 film by using a chemically modified sol-gel method (pat-TiO2/WO3), and the coupling effect on the photocatalytic activity was studied. Although the photoinduced electron transfer from TiO2 to WO3 was confirmed by labeling and visualization of the reduction sites with Ag particles, the photocatalytic activities of TiO2 for both the gas-phase oxidation of CH3CHO and the liquid-phase oxidation of 2-naphthol decreased significantly with the coupling. This finding was rationalized in terms of the decrease in the rate of the electron transfer from the semiconductor-(s) to 02 with the coupling, which was estimated from the kinetic analysis of the photopotential relaxation. When the excited electrons were removed by a SnO2 underlayer, the WO3 film exhibited a high photocatalytic activity exceeding that of TiO2 for the oxidation of 2-naphthol.     

Novel hydrostable Z-scheme Ag/CsPbBr3/Bi2WO6 photocatalyst for effective degradation of Rhodamine B in aqueous solution

In this study, a hydrostable Z-scheme Ag/CsPbBr₃/Bi₂WO₆ photocatalyst was designed and fabricated for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The structural instability of CsPbX₃ perovskites in water is one of the main obstacles that restrict their practical application in photocatalytic wastewater treatment. The photocatalyst was prepared in three steps: passivation of CsPbBr₃ nanocrystals (NCs) with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), construction of a heterojunction between MPA-passivated CsPbBr₃ NCs and Bi₂WO₆ ultrathin nanosheets, and doping Ag nanoparticles as charge mediators in the heterojunction. The as-obtained 5%Ag/20%CsPbBr₃/Bi₂WO₆ exhibits good stability and excellent photocatalytic activity. The degradation rate is 93.9% in 120 min, which is 4.41 times than that of Bi₂WO₆.     

Fabrication of niobium doped titanate nanoflakes with enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity for efficient ibuprofen degradation

In this study, a novel class of niobium (Nb) doped titanate nanoflakes (TNFs) are fabricated through a one-step hydrothermal method. Nb doping affects the curving of titanate nanosheet, leading to the formation of nanoflake structure. In addition, Nb⁵⁺ filled in the interlayers of [TiO₆] alters the light adsorption property of pristine titanate. The band gap of Nb-TNFs is narrowed to 2.85 eV, while neat titanate nanotubes (TNTs) is 3.4 eV. The enhanced visible light adsorption significantly enhances the visible-light-driven activity of Nb-TNFs for ibuprofen (IBP) degradation. The pseudo-first order kinetics constant for Nb-TNFs is calculated to be 1.04 h^?1, while no obvious removal is observed for TNTs. Photo-generated holes (h⁺) and hydroxyl radicals (OH) are responsible for IBP degradation. The photocatalytic activity of Nb-TNFs depends on pH condition, and the optimal pH value is found to be 5. In addition, Nb-TNFs exhibited superior photo-stability during the reuse cycles. The results demonstrated Nb-TNFs are very promising in photocatalytic water purification.

Preparation of Sulfur-doped PANI/TiO2 Nanowires and Its Sensing Properties to Mercury

TiO₂ nanowires were successfully prepared via a simple hydrothermal method and a layer of sulfurized polyaniline(PANI) was loaded onto their surface to prepare a sensor of elemental mercury at room temperature. The sulfurized PANI/TiO₂ composite sensor has a high sensitivity to mercury in a range of density from 5.57 mg/m³ to 126.18 mg/m³ at room temperature. The response time and recovery time are relatively short. We also investigated the sensitivity and response time to other interfering gases, such as NO₂, SO₂ and NH₃. And the sulfurized PANI/TiO₂ composite material shows a good selectivity for element mercury. The microscopic structure of the sensor was investigated via X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The sulfurized PANI/TiO₂ composite material shows a high sensitive response, and good selectivity to element mercury, which is promising for the application in the detection of element mercury.
