Effect of environmental conditions on the sorption of radiocobalt from aqueous solution to treated eggshell as biosorbent

Carbonate hydroxylapatite (CHAP), prepared from eggshell waste, was used to remove ⁶⁰Co(II) from aqueous solutions. The sorption of ⁶⁰Co(II) on CHAP as a function of contact time, pH, ionic strength and foreign ions in the absence and presence of humic acid and fulvic acid under ambient conditions was studied. The sorption of ⁶⁰Co(II) on CHAP was strongly dependent on pH and ionic strength. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH ⁰, ΔS ⁰, ΔG ⁰) of ⁶⁰Co(II) sorption on CHAP were calculated from the temperature-dependent sorption isotherms, and the results indicated that the sorption process of ⁶⁰Co(II) on CHAP was endothermic and spontaneous. At low pH, the sorption of ⁶⁰Co(II) was dominated by outer-sphere surface complexation and ion exchange with Na⁺/H⁺ on CHAP surfaces, whereas inner-sphere surface complexation was the main sorption mechanism at high pH. Experimental results also indicated that CHAP was a suitable low-cost adsorbent for pre-concentration and solidification of ⁶⁰Co(II) from large volumes of aqueous solutions.

Preparation of BiVO4/MIL‐125(Ti) composite with enhanced visible‐light photocatalytic activity for dye degradation

Because of their desired features, including very specific surface areas and designable framework architecture together with their possibility to be functionalized, Metal Framework (MOF) is a promising platform for supporting varied materials in respect of catalytic applications in water treatment. In this work, a novel visible‐light‐responsive photocatalyst that comprised BiVO₄ together with MIL‐125(Ti), was synthesized by a two‐step hydrothermal approach. The characterization of as‐obtained samples as performed by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscope, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet‐visible diffuse reflection spectra. Rhodamine B was selected being a target for the evaluation of the photocatalytic function of as‐developed photocatalyst. The photocatalytic reaction parameters, for example, the content of BiVO₄ as well as initial concentration of Rhodamine B was researched. The composite photocatalyst possessing Bi:Ti molar ratio of 3:2 brought to light the fact that the greatest photocatalytic activity had the ability to degrade 92% of Rhodamine B in 180 min. In addition to that, the BiVO₄/MIL‐125(Ti) composite could keep its photocatalytic activity during the recycling test. The phenomenon of disintegration of the photo‐generated charges in the BiVO₄/MIL‐125(Ti) composite was brought to discussion as well.

Three novel extended supramolecular structures based on pseudohalides (SCN) and the flexible cationic template 1, n-bis(4-aminopyridine)alkane cations(n?=?2–4), namely {(bape)_0.5[Cu(SCN)₂]}_n (bape?=?1, 2-bis(4-aminopyridine)ethane) (1), {(bapp) [Cu₂(SCN)₄]}_n (bapp?=?1, 3-bis(4-aminopyridine)propane) (2),{(bapb)_0.5[Cu(SCN)₂]}_n (bapb?=?1, 4-bis(4-aminopyridine)butane) (3) have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray Powder Diffraction (PXRD), UV–Visdiffuse reflectance spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the solid state. Compounds 1 and 3 exhibit infinite two-dimensional polypseudorotaxane architecture. In compound 2, the cationic template bapp²⁺ induced [Cu₂(SCN)₄]^2? cluster unit to generate a 3D coordination framework. The structural diversities show that the branched cationic template should very likely be excellent candidates to construct higher dimensional threading supramolecular architectures. In addition, the optical band gap, photocatalytic and the structure–property relationship of compounds 1–3 were also investigated.

Synthesis of monodisperse pancake-like Bi<Subscript>2</Subscript>WO<Subscript>6</Subscript> with prominent photocatalytic performances

Uniform Bi₂WO₆ pancakes were prepared via a solvothermal route in a solvent mixture of glycerol (Gly) and water (V/V = 1). A variety of techniques including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron micrographs, X-ray powder diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, FT-IR spectra, and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, were employed to characterize the structure and properties of the as-obtained Bi₂WO₆. It was found that Bi₂WO₆ pancakes showed prominent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm) irradiation, which can be attributed to its good crystallization, large surface area, unique morphology and structural features.     

Co-N/m-C高效催化空气下醇直接氧化成酯

酯类在有机合成中作为基础材料广泛地应用于精细化学品, 农用化学品, 药物等的生产中. 传统生产酯的方法需要用到羧酸, 酸酐, 酰卤或酮类, 并经过多步反应完成. 往往会造成原材料的浪费, 并伴随副产物的产生. 因此用醇代替酸或其衍生物与另一种醇反应直接氧化酯化合成相应的酯具有很大的经济意义. 目前已有基于贵金属(如钌, 钯和金)的将醇类直接氧化为酯类的催化剂的研究, 但是贵金属的价格及其有限的资源限制了其在实际生产中的应用. 从经济发展和环境保护的角度出发, 开发基于非贵金属的用于醇氧化酯化的催化剂有重要意义.近年来, 碳材料由于成本低? 稳定性高? 电化学性能优异的特点而广泛应用于材料? 化学催化和电化学催化等领域. 此外, 杂原子和金属的引入可以在一定程度上调节材料的组成, 电子结构和表面物理化学性质而进一步构建新的活性位点, 增强碳材料的催化性能. 另外, 由于多孔碳材料具有较大的比表面积和多样的孔结构, 作为催化剂载体比普通碳材料更优越, 使得底物更容易接触活性部位, 同时提高氧的传输能力. 然而, 活性钴物种因在热解过程中容易发生团聚而使原子催化效率降低. 因此设计和制备高分散且高效的催化剂对于实现醇氧化为酯有重要意义.钴基氮掺杂碳材料是一种有潜力的能将醇直接氧化到酯的经济, 高效, 环保的催化剂. 本文提出了一种方便, 快捷, 高效的醇直接氧化成酯的方法, 即利用直接热解大分子前驱体制备钴改性N掺杂介孔碳材料(Co-N/m-C), 用于醇直接氧化成酯反应中, 其中以900 oC下焙烧所制的催化剂活性最高. 该催化剂对于苯甲醇直接有氧氧化成苯甲酸甲酯反应的TOF值高达107.6 h?1, 远高于目前所报道的过渡金属基纳米催化剂的, 这得益于超分散钴物种与材料中吡啶氮之间的强配位作用及大的介孔比表面积. 对于不同结构的醇, 包括苄基醇, 烯丙基醇和杂环醇, 也能高收率地得到相应酯, 说明该催化剂具有普适性. 另外, Co-N/m-C-900催化剂经循环使用六次后没有显著的活性损失, 表明了该催化剂具有一定的稳定性.     

ZnIn2S4 flowerlike microspheres embedded with carbon quantum dots for efficient photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI)

Development of efficient heterostructured photocatalysts that respond to visible light remains a considerable challenge. We herein show the synthesis of ZnIn₂S₄/carbon quantum dot hybrid photocatalysts with flowerlike microspheres via a facile solvothermal method. The ZnIn₂S₄/carbon quantum dot flowerlike microspheres display enhanced photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activity compared with that of pure ZnIn₂S₄. With a content of only 0.5 wt % carbon quantum dots, 93% of Cr(VI) is reduced under visible-light irradiation at 40 min. As a co-catalyst, the carbon quantum dots improve the light absorption and lengthen the lifetime of charge carriers, consequently enhancing the photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activity.     

Transient‐Ligand‐Enabled ortho‐Arylation of Five‐Membered Heterocycles: Facile Access to Mechanochromic Materials

Reported herein is the first example of a direct arylation of heteroarenes by a transient‐ligand‐directed strategy without the need to construct and deconstruct the directing group. A wide range of heteroarenes undergoes the coupling with diverse aryl iodides to assemble a large library of highly selective and functionalized 3‐arylthiophene‐2‐carbaldehydes. This route provides an opportunity to rapidly access new mechanofluorochromic materials. Moreover, a novel strategy for mechanochromic luminogens with chromism trends of red‐ and blue‐shifts has been disclosed for the first time by facile functional‐group modifications to a common structural core.
