Pulsed Corona Discharge for Degradation of Methylene Blue in Water

A pulsed corona discharge in multiwire-plate geometry, generated above water was studied for the removal of organic compounds in liquids. The degradation of methylene blue (MB) and the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) were investigated. The MB solution was rapidly decolorized, evidencing the degradation of the dye after approximately 10 min plasma treatment. Nitrate, formate, sulphate and chlorine ions have been detected in the treated solution, explaining partly the change in the solution properties with plasma exposure, i.e. increase of electrical conductivity and decrease of pH. It was found that the concentration of H₂O₂ generated in water increased with plasma exposure time, reaching 200 mg/L after 30 min treatment. In the MB solution less hydrogen peroxide was detected, suggesting reactions with the dye and its degradation products. The addition of FeCl₂ catalyst had a slight favorable effect on methylene blue degradation due to Fenton’s reaction. It was observed that MB and H₂O₂ concentrations continue to decrease after the plasma treatment was stopped, suggesting that active species which accumulate in the solution may react post-plasma with methylene blue and its degradation products.

Decomposition of Methylene Blue in Water by Corona Discharges

The decomposition of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution was investigated using a pulsed corona discharge. The discharge was ignited in the gas bubbled in the solution through several needle electrodes. The influence of treatment time, volume of the treated solution and initial concentration of the dye in solution on MB degradation was studied. The effect of the nature of the gas introduced was also investigated. For the same energy input, MB conversion increased in the order air < argon < oxygen. When using oxygen, the decomposition of MB exceeded 95% after ~20 min plasma treatment. Higher efficiency was obtained for higher treated volume and higher initial concentration. At 90% conversion the yield obtained with oxygen was ~5 g/kWh for an initial concentration of 150 mg/l and a treated volume of solution of 100 ml.     

Cargo Transportation and Methylene Blue Degradation by Using Fuel-Powered Micromotors

In the past two decades, micromotors have experienced rapid development, especially in environmental remediation, the biomedical field, and in cargo delivery. In this study micromotors have been synthesized from a variety of materials. Different functional layers and catalytic layers are formed through template electrodeposition (the bottom-up method). At the same time, the article analyzes the influence of hydrogen peroxide concentration, surfactant type and concentration on the speed of the micromotors. Cargo transportation through tubular micromotors has always been a problem that people are eager to solve. In this article, we electrodeposit a layer of Ni in the microtubes, which effectively guides the microtubular motors to complete the cargo transportation. The potential applications of micromotors are also being explored. We added the prepared micromotors to the methylene blue solution to effectively enhance the degradation.     

Detection of Copper(II) in Water by Methylene Blue Derivatives

Two novel phenothiazin-5-ium derivatives bearing cyclam moieties ( 3 a⁺ and 3 b⁺ ) were synthesized and investigated as Cu²⁺ sensors. Both ligands show intense spectral changes in the presence of Cu²⁺ in aqueous solutions. The high molar extinction coefficient of the chromophore allows both naked eye detection and spectrophotometric quantitative determination of the cation at a micromolar-concentration scale. 3 a⁺ was found to outperform 3 b⁺ , showing negligible spectral changes in the presence of excesses of other metal cations.

Removal of Methylene Blue from Aging Water Solutions Treated by a Submerged Arc

Low voltage, low energy submerged pulsed arcs with a pulse repetition rate of 100 Hz, energies of 2.6–192 mJ and durations of 10–40 μs, followed by aging in the dark, were used to decompose 10 mg/l methylene blue (MB) dissolved in 40 ml of water, with the addition of 0.5 % H₂O₂. Electrode pairs composed of Fe/Fe, Ti/Ti, Cu/Cu, Cu/Fe, Fe/Cu, Ti/Fe, Fe/Ti, Cu/Ti and Ti/Cu were used. MB degraded during arc treatment, and during post arc treatment aging. The aging degraded MB faster (by a factor of ~2–3) when the MB solution was subjected to arcing with dissimilar electrodes when one of them was Cu, than for arcing with other used electrode pairs. The impact of the arc treatment time and the electrode materials on the MB removal ratio (C₀–C_ta)/C₀ was determined as a function of aging time t_a, where C₀ and C_ta are the MB concentrations initially and after t_a. For a pulse duration of 10 μs and pulse energies of 2–20 mJ, the MB removal rate increased linearly with treatment time and its growth rate increased with pulse energy. The linear dependence of the MB removal rate on treatment time was violated with pulse duration of 40 μs and pulse energies of 30–200 mJ. Kinetics of the MB degradation during aging of the arc treated solution was well described by the 1st order linear rate equation.

Plasma Induced Degradation of Azobenzene in Water

The degradation of azobenzene (AO) by a gaseous plasma is reported. The plasma was generated in a localized zone between an electrolytic solution and a tip of an anode in contact with the surface of solution by means of contact glow discharge electrolysis. There is an optimum pH for the degradation of AO. Iron (II) had a remarkable catalytic action on it. Furthermore, the degradation followed the first‐order kinetic law. Some of the intermediate products of the degradation process were detected by HPLC.     

Hierarchical Ultrathin Layered GO-ZnO@CeO2 Nanohybrids for Highly Efficient Methylene Blue Dye Degradation

Highly efficient interfacial contact between components in nanohybrids is a key to achieving great photocatalytic activity in photocatalysts and degradation of organic model pollutants under visible light irradiation. Herein, we report the synthesis of nano-assembly of graphene oxide, zinc oxide and cerium oxide (GO-ZnO@CeO₂) nanohybrids constructed by the hydrothermal method and subsequently annealed at 300 °C for 4 h. The unique graphene oxide sheets, which are anchored with semiconducting materials (ZnO and CeO₂ nanoparticles), act with a significant role in realizing sufficient interfacial contact in the new GO-ZnO@CeO₂ nanohybrids. Consequently, the nano-assembled structure of GO-ZnO@CeO₂ exhibits a greater level (96.66%) of MB dye degradation activity than GO-ZnO nanostructures and CeO₂ nanoparticles on their own. This is due to the thin layers of GO-ZnO@CeO₂ nanohybrids with interfacial contact, suitable band-gap matching and high surface area, preferred for the improvement of photocatalytic performance. Furthermore, this work offers a facile building and cost-effective construction strategy to synthesize the GO-ZnO@CeO₂ nanocatalyst for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants with long-term stability and higher efficiency.
