In this research,a lucunary Keggin structure,[PMo₂W₉O₃₉]^7- was selected as an efficient homogenous catalyst for degradation of an azo dye（direct blue 71） and a simple method was developed for degradation of DB71.The method is based on the oxidation of azo dye in the presence of a lucunary Keggin form of polyoxometalates,K₇[PMo₂W₉O₃₉]? 19H₂O,as a homogenous catalyst at room temperature.The reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of dye atλ=585 nm.Some parameters including concentration of catalyst,concentration of H₂O₂,pH and reaction time were investigated and optimized. Results show that K₇[PMo₂W₉O₃₉]? 19H₂O is more efficient in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.Degradation of dye in the presence of the catalyst and H₂O₂ could lead to the disappearance approximately 65%of dye after 60 min.But degradation for the same experiment performed in the absence of catalyst or in the absence of H₂O₂ was 22%or 5%respectively.Approximately 87% azo dyes has been eliminated after 90 min in the presence of catalyst,H₂O₂ and optimize conditions(0.6 g/L of K₇[PMo_2- W₉O₃₉H₉H₂O,0.08 mol/L hydrogen peroxide and room temperature).

Hydrophilic Fe3O4 nanoparticles prepared by ferrocene as high‐efficiency heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for the degradation of methyl orange

Hydrophilic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were prepared with ferrocene as an iron source via the thermal decomposition method and their catalytic response towards methyl orange was investigated. The effects of the pH, temperature, H₂O₂ dosage, catalyst dosage and initial dye concentration on the degradation of methyl orange were researched in detail. Furthermore, the stability of the catalyst was evaluated by measuring the degradation rate in eight successive cycles. The study demonstrates that methyl orange can be completely degraded i.e., a 99% degratation rate was obtained within 3 min. This excellent catalytic activity is attributed to the small size and good dispersibility of the nanoparticles, which stimulate the rapid and massive generation of reactive oxygen species in the heterogeneous Fenton reaction. In addition, the magnetic separation of the catalyst offers great prospects for fast and economical decontamination of dye polluted water.     

Application of a novel bimetallic hydrogel based on iron and cobalt for the synergistic catalytic degradation of Congo Red dye

Herein, we developed a bimetallic (Fe and Co) polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel (FeCo@PAM) to investigate the synergistic catalytic degradation of Congo Red (CR) dye. The structure and the morphology of the FeCo@PAM hydrogel were analyzed using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectrometry (EDX). To study the chemical composition of our catalyst, the FTIR technique was applied. The SEM and EDX confirmed the presence of bimetallic ions in the PAM hydrogel. All critical parameters of the catalyst, that is, mass, dye concentration, H₂O₂ dose, temperature, and pH were investigated and optimized. The synergistic oxidative catalytic degradation of the CR dye using FeCo@PAM under the optimal conditions was calculated to be 96.45% (60 min), which was 11.26% (75 min) higher than that of Fe@PAM and 11.69% (75 min) higher than that of Co@PAM. For FeCo@PAM, not only the degradation percentage increased also the reaction time decrease was phenomenal. These experiments verified the synergistic oxidative degradation of the CR dye exhibited by the FeCo@PAM catalyst. The Kinetic isotherm studies were also studied to determine the CR degradation progression. Our FeCo@PAM catalyst also demonstrated to be highly recyclable, as high CR dye degradation was accomplished up to three consecutive cycles.     

Efficient and reusable Cu (II)-metalated silica-based inorganic-organic hybrid catalyst for dye degradation

An efficient silica-based inorganic-organic hybrid was synthesized by using 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxylsilane as linker and 2-Quinolinecarboxaldehyde for Schiff's base formation which was further coordinated by Cu (II) chloride. The hybrid was characterized by relevant techniques, i.e., FT-IR, DRUV-Vis, SEM, EDX, ICP-AES, TGA and EPR technique which support its formation. The synthesized hybrid material was successfully used as heterogeneous catalyst for degrading Reactive Black-5 (RB-5), a non-biodegradable diazo dye. The degradation mechanism follows advanced oxidation technique utilizing hydrogen peroxide as an environmentally amiable green oxidant; where the hybrid catalyst decomposes H₂O₂ to generate ·OH free radicals. Effects of dye concentration, H₂O₂ concentration and temperature variation on dye degradation process were studied and best reaction conditions for maximum degradation of RB-5 were also worked out. The catalyst showed 87% dye degradation in 130 ?min at best reaction conditions. Easy separation, reusability and efficient dye degradation ability of the catalyst are the motivating factors for the development of such hybrid material for solving critical environmental issues.     

A comparison of H+-restacked nanosheets and nanoscrolls derived from K4Nb6O17 for visible-light degradation of dyes

H⁺-restacked nanosheets and nanoscrolls peeled from K₄Nb₆O₁₇ display different structures and surface characters. The two restacked samples with increased surface areas have an amazing visible-light response for the photodegradation of dyes, which is superior to commercial TiO₂ (P25) and Mb₂O₅. By comparison, H⁺/nanosheets have a relatively faster photodegradation rate originated from large and smooth basal plane. The work reveals that dye adsorbed on the unfolded nanosheets can effectively harvest sunlight. Due to facile preparation, low-cost and high photocatalytic efficiency, H⁺/nanosheets and H⁺/nanoscrolls might be used for the visible light-driven degradation of organic dyes as a substitute for TiO₂ in industry.     

Polymer immobilized Fe(III) complex of 2-phenylbenzimidazole: An efficient catalyst for photodegradation of dyes under UV/Visible light irradiation

Fe(III) complex of 2-phenylbenzimidazole has been covalently anchored on polymer and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, far-IR, BET surface area measurements, UV–Vis/DRS spectroscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis and magnetic moment measurements by VSM which confirmed an octahedral environment around Fe(III) in the bound complex. The photocatalytic performance of this complex was evaluated in the photodegradation of dyes in presence of H₂O₂ as an oxidizing agent. Suitable reaction conditions have been optimized by considering the effects of various reaction parameters such as pH, oxidants, concentration of dye, H₂O₂ and catalyst for the maximum degradation of dye. The photodegradation was found to be 100% with complete mineralization in 150?min. The comparison of photocatalytic efficiency of the catalyst under visible light, sunlight and dark conditions are accomplished. Comparison between catalytic activity of the polymer-supported complex and unbound complex demonstrated that the polymer-supported complex was more active. Photocatalytic performance of PS-Fe(III)PBMZL was also compared with commercial TiO₂ (P25). This heterogeneous complex retained its activity up to 8 runs. A tentative mechanism has been proposed.     

Enhancement of Fe3O4/Au Composite Nanoparticles Catalyst in Oxidative Degradation of Methyl Orange Based on Synergistic Effect

Enhancement of Fe₃O₄ /Au nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄ /Au NPs ) catalyst was observed in the oxidative degradation of methyl orange by employing H₂O₂ as oxidant. To evaluate the catalytic activity of Fe₃O₄ /Au nanoparticles, different degradation conditions were investigated such as the amounts of catalyst, H₂O₂ concentration and pH value. Based on our data, methyl orange was degraded completely in a short time. The enhanced catalytic activity and increased oxidation rate constant may be ascribed to synergistic catalyst‐activated decomposition of H₂O₂ to •OH radical, which was one of the strong oxidizing species. Besides, Fe₃O₄ /Au nanoparticles have exhibited satisfying recycle performance for potential industrial application.     

Novel PEI–AuNPs–MnIIIPPIX nanocomposite with enhanced peroxidase-like catalytic activity in aqueous media

Mn porphyrin provides a possibility to constitute the novel mimic catalyst with peroxidase-like activity. A simple method for preparing a novel catalyst PEI–AuNPs–Mn^IIIPPIX, used in aqueous media, was presented in this paper. The covalent anchoring of Mn^IIIPPIX and PEI were verified, meanwhile gold nanoparticles with the diameter less than 10 nm were dispersed uniformly and stably. The remarkable peroxidase-like catalytic activity of PEI–AuNPs–Mn^IIIPPIX was displayed in the oxidative degradation of azo dye acid orange 7 (AO7) as the model reaction in the presence of trace of H₂O₂. The synergistic effects of PEI–AuNPs and Mn^IIIPPIX on the enhancement of catalytic activity were observed at pH 2.0. Possible pathways involving in the formation of active radicals are proposed. The construction of PEI–AuNPs–Mn^IIIPPIX nanocomposite offers a new insight into the application of Mn porphyrin upon activation of H₂O₂, which have potential applications in many fields.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Catalytic Activity of New Cu(II) Complexes of Schiff Base: Effective Catalysts for Decolorization of Acid Red 37 Dye Solution

In this paper, three new Cu(II) Schiff base complexes with three different anions (acetate, chloride, and nitrate) were successfully synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectra, molar conductance, FT‐IR, NMR,UV–vis spectroscopy, magnetic moment, ESR, and thermal analysis. The catalytic performances of these complexes in decolorization of azo dye, Acid Red 37, were evaluated. Copper(II) complexes were found to be an efficient catalyst for decolorization of Acid Red 37 in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The catalytic investigation revealed that the Cu(II) complex with acetate anion (complex 1 ) performed the highest catalytic activity. The kinetics of the decolorization of AR37 with this catalyst was studied, and the observed rate constant was determined. The effects of different reaction parameters such as catalyst dosage, solution pH, initial concentration of H₂O₂, dye solution, and reaction temperature on the reaction rate constant were studied. The best reacting conditions should be catalyst dosage = 0.004 g, initial pH 4.0, [H₂O₂]₀ = 0.8 M, and [AR37]₀ = 1.16 M at temperature 25°C. Under these conditions, about 99% of AR37 was decolorized within 60 min. The results indicated that the Cu(II) complex with the acetate anion is a promising catalyst for wastewater treatment.     

A novel ZrGeO4 catalyst for degradation of organic dye pollutants at room temperature without light illumination

ABSTRACT

New catalysts satisfying simultaneously pollutant-removing and energy-saving have great potential in numerous environmental applications. To develop catalysts effective in decomposing organic dye pollutants under the energy-saving conditions of catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO), herein we synthesized a new ZrGeO₄ catalyst. The catalytic performance of the ZrGeO₄ sample is superior to the previous CeGeO₄ and ZrHIO₆·4H₂O analogues in degrading rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB). After being recycled for 3 times in the degradation experiments, the ZrGeO₄ catalyst did not undergo obvious loss in activity and change in chemical composition. The main active species for the dye degradation over ZrGeO₄ were also investigated.

Ce(IV) salophen encapsulated into dealuminated Y zeolite was prepared by the flexible ligand method. Incorporation of TiO₂ into nanocages of dealuminated Y zeolite was performed by the impregnation method. The obtained photocatalyst was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, DRS, SEM, EDS and ICP techniques.

In addition, the effect of other parameters including catalyst loading, H₂O₂ and TiO₂ was studied in the degradation of 4-nitrophenol. The obtained results reveal that the photocatalyst performance depends on catalyst loading, the presence of H₂O_2, and UV illumination.     

Enhancement of the catalytic activity of [Cu2(TS)(OH)2(OAc)] using superconductor cuprate sample

A superconducting sample (Nd_0.1Y_0.9Ba₂Cu₃O_7-δ) has been tried as a catalyst for H₂O₂ decomposition. All parameters affecting the reaction rate (concentration of H₂O₂, weight of catalyst, temperature and pH) were studied and the optimum conditions were evaluated. A mixture of the superconducting cuprate with [Cu₂(TS)(OH)(OAc)] using different percentages of the sample has been prepared and tried kinetically under the same mentioned conditions. An attempt was made to increase the activity of the complex. The data show that the cuprate sample alone was found to be almost inactive when compared with that of the mixture. The catalytic mechanism in the absence and presence of the complex was suggested.     

Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of azo dyes using nano Fe3O4

Nanosized magnetic Fe₃O₄ synthesized via sonochemical route was used as a photocatalyst for the degradation of azo dyes, methyl red and congo red. The novelty of the photo catalyst is its easy recovery by magnetic force and its recycling ability due to its long-term stability, in addition to its cost effectiveness, non-toxicity and non-carcinogenicity. A detailed feasibility study has been carried out on the photocatalytic degradation of the azo dyes at various pH and at various concentrations of photocatalyst, dye and H₂O₂. The presence of photocatalyst is found to significantly accelerate the degradation of azo dyes and the optimal dosage is found to be 0.075 and 0.2?g/l for methyl red and congo red, respectively. Langmuir?CHinshelwood kinetic analysis revealed pseudo-first-order kinetics for the photocatalytic degradation of the dyes and the degradation products were identified using spectral analysis. The degradation study revealed the following order of reactivity: Photo-Fe₃O₄?>?Photo-H₂O₂?>?Fe₃O₄?>?H₂O₂.     

Degradation of terbuthylazine by Fe/TiO2 with visible-light-driven photo-Fenton catalytic activity

In order to improve the catalytic activity of Fenton catalyst, a composite catalyst, Fe/TiO₂, with both visible-light photocatalytic and Fenton-like catalytic activities was synthesized via a brief solvothermal process. The XRD and SEM results indicated that Fe was dispersed homogeneously on the surface of TiO₂ in the form of Fe₂O₃, and the loading of Fe did not have significant effects on the particle size and morphology of TiO₂. The EDS results showed that the loading content of Fe was about 1.4 wt%. The photocatalytic results showed that the prepared Fe/TiO₂ composite catalyst had excellent catalytic behaviors for terbuthylazine degradation under visible-irradiation with H₂O₂ assistance, the degradation ratio reached up to 90% after 120 min. The reinforced degradation performance were primarily attributable to the introduction of carrier TiO₂, which expanded visible response range by H₂O₂ adsorption, and accelerated the cycle of Fe (Ⅱ)/Fe (Ⅲ). The fluorescent spectroscopy results revealed that the degradation process of terbuthylazine involved the generation and participation of active species such as hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals. This study is expected to provide a visual approach for designing a novel photo-Fenton catalyst to jointly utilize both photocatalytic and Fenton activities, which can be better applied to the actual use of organics purification in wastewater.     

Pd–Fe/TiO2 catalysts for phenol degradation with in situ generated H2O2

This study deals with the degradation of phenol over Pd–Fe/TiO₂ catalysts at mild conditions in the presence of in situ generated H₂O₂ from oxygen and formic acid. This catalytic system demonstrated interesting ability to oxidize phenol by Fenton process in a one-pot reaction without the addition of ferrous ion. Lower Pd content catalysts, despite producing a higher hydrogen peroxide amount for bulk purposes, did not reach the same efficiency as the 5Pd–5Fe catalyst in phenol degradation. A close interaction between Pd and iron oxide species is necessary to obtain high active catalysts. These results highlight the advantage of in situ generation of H₂O₂, for oxidation reactions with respect to conventional Fenton process.
