UV-blocking and photocatalytic properties of Ag-coated cotton fabrics with Si binders for photo-degradation of recalcitrant dyes in aqueous solutions under sunlight. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 353:120287. [PMID: 38335595 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
Textile wastewater laden with dyes has emerged as a source of water pollution. This possesses a challenge in its effective treatment using a single functional material. In respond to this technological constraint, this work presents multifunctional cotton fabrics (CFs) within a single, streamlined preparation process. This approach utilizes the adherence of Ag NPs (nanoparticles) using Si binder on the surface of CFs, resulting in Ag-coated CFs through a pad dry method. The prepared samples were characterized using scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray electroscopy (SEM-EDS), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transformation infrared (FT-IR). It was found that the FT-IR spectra of Ag NPs-coated CFs had peaks appear at 3400, 2900, and 1200 cm-1, implying the stretching vibrations of O-H, C-H, and C-O, respectively. Based on the EDX analysis, the presence of C, O, and Ag related to the coated CFs were detected. After coating the CFs with varying concentrations of Ag NPs (1%, 2% and 3% (w/w)), they were used to remove dyes. Under the same concentration of 10 mg/L and optimized pH 7.5 and 2 h of reaction time, 3% (w/w) Ag-coated CFs exhibited a substantial MB degradation of 98 %, while removing 95% of methyl orange, 85% of rhodamine B, and 96% of Congo red, respectively, following 2 h of Vis exposure. Ag NPs had a strong absorption at 420 nm with 2.51 eV of energy band gap. Under UV irradiation, electrons excited and produced free radicals that promoted dyes photodegradation. The oxidation by-products included p-dihydroxybenzene and succinic acid. Spent Ag-coated CFs attained 98% of regeneration efficiency. The utilization of Ag-coated CFs as a photocatalyst facilitated treated effluents to meet the required discharge standard of lower than 1 mg/L mandated by national legislation. The integration of multifunctional CFs in the treatment system presents a new option for tackling water pollution due to dyes.

Abstract
The photocatalytic property of available semiconductor catalysts still suffers from some urgent problems, such as the high excitation energy, easy agglomeration of powders, or weak recycling property. Therefore, developing novel visible light-supported catalysts and catalyst loading have aroused great attention recently. In this work, a novel Ag3PO4/BiVO4/MWCNTs@Cotton functional fabric was prepared by introducing Ag3PO4 as a plasma resonance photocatalyst and MWCNTs with cotton as composite substrates. Not only did the introduction of Ag3PO4 and MWCNTs effectively strengthen the application ability of BiVO4, but also inhibited the recombination of carriers, and promoted the transport of carriers according to spectroscopic and electrochemical tests. Degradation tests remained that Ag3PO4/BiVO4/MWCNTs @cotton retained the high photocatalytic efficiency of the powder catalyst, along with the degradation degree of active blue KN-R (50mg/L) as well as Cr (VI) (20mg/L) could reach more than 90% within 120 min. What's more, the functional fabric has gained excellent performance in degrading pollutants for 5 cycles. Meanwhile, the prepared BiVO4 is consistent with the band structure and electron density calculated theoretically by the GGA-PBE function. Free radical trapping and scavenging experiments exhibited that functional fabrics could produce active substances such as h+,·O2-, and·OH, among which the first two are the main active substances in the reaction. To sum up, this study is an effective attempt based on the existing problems of photocatalysts together with providing some study directions for the development of photocatalytic technology in the future.

Abstract
The present study focused on the photocatalytic degradation of 5-Flurouracil (FU), carvedilol (Car), para-chlorophenol (PCP) and methimazole (Met) under visible light irradiation by MnWO4/Ag2WO4 (MWO/AWO) nanohybrid. Here, MWO/AWO nanohybrid was characterized by XRD, TEM, EDS, XPS, ESR, EIS, BET and DRS. The band gap energy of the MWO/AWO nanohybrid was found to be 2.75 eV, which enables effective photocatalytic activity of nanohybrid under visible light. The photocatalytic degradation of various PhACs such as Fu, Car, PCP and Met was found to be 98.8, 100, 98 and 98.1% respectively. The degradation efficiency of the MWO/AWO nanohybrid on various PhACs was higher than the pure MWO and AWO nanoparticle. The effective formation of OH• and •O2 by MWO/AWO nanohybrid played an important role in degradation of PhACs and it was determined by radical scavenging experiment. Further, the intermediates formed during the photocatalytic process were analyzed by GC-MS/MS to elucidate the photodegradation pathway and the results reveal the complete mineralization of the PhACs. The toxicity of the degraded product was performed against on Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli where it shows that the nanohybrid possesses high relative growth inhibition than AWO and MWO nanoparticles. In addition, the genotoxicity of the nanohybrid against Allium cepa was performed and it exhibited lower toxicity. The synthesized nanohybrid proves to be an excellent photocatalyst with good stability, reusability, eco-friendly, and cost-effective material for implementation in practical applications.

Abstract
Photocatalytic materials with high efficiency and convenient recyclability have attracted great interest for the treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater. In this paper, a narrow band gap BiVO4 photocatalyst was loaded onto Ag modified cotton fabric by a hydrothermal method. The prepared composite materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet visible light absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis). The composite materials as prepared show superb photocatalytic activity and reusable performance for the degradation of C.I. Reactive Black 5 (RB5). The degradation rate can reach 99% within 90 min under 1 kW xenon lamp irradiation, and over 90% of the photocatalytic performance is preserved even after five recycles. Furthermore, the photocatalytic mechanism was proposed by spectral analysis and free radical trapping experiments.
