Abstract
Aniline wastes can be converted to useful pharmaceutical and industrial compounds like azobenzene. For this purpose, a bimetallic Ag0.75Ni0.25 alloy is designed in the nanoscale range resembling a fivefold twinned morphology using water as the solvent. These newly developed alloy nanoparticles (NPs) are employed for the first time as an efficient visible light-active photocatalyst for the oxidative homocoupling of aniline to azobenzene. Our catalytic protocol is highly sustainable for a large number of aniline substrates with a high yield of the product (up to 95%), which might be attributed to the combinational and superior properties achieved on alloy formation in comparison to the monometallic counterparts. High-electron density amines (p-anisidine) display greater photocatalytic proficiency than that of low-electron density amines (4-fluoroaniline). The developed photocatalyst is magnetically well-separable and can be reused for at least five catalytic cycles without appreciable loss in its activity.

Selective aqueous oxidation of aromatic alcohols under solar light in the presence of TiO 2 modified with different metal species.

Abstract
A set of metals modified TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared starting from titanium tetraisopropoxyde and different metal precursors to study the influence of the addition of the various foreign agents on the physico-chemical and photocatalytic properties of the catalysts. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, specific surface area measurements, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence, temperature programmed desorption after CO2 adsorption. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated using as probe reactions the partial oxidation of three aromatic alcohols: benzyl alcohol (BA), 4-methoxy benzyl alcohol (4-MBA), and 4-hydroxy benzyl alcohol (4-HBA) under simulated solar light irradiation. Different oxidation and selectivity values were obtained for the three substrates depending not only on the type of metals but also on the nature and position of the substituent in the phenyl ring of benzyl alcohol. As a general behaviour, the doped samples allowed the achievement of a greater selectivity especially for 4-MBA even if sometimes with minor conversions. The presence of W or Nb was beneficial for both conversion and selectivity for all the substrates with respect to bare TiO2.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction into valuable fuel and chemical production has been regarded as a prospective strategy for tackling with the issues of the increasing of greenhouse gases and shortage of sustainable energy. A composite photocatalysis system employing a semiconductor enriched with oxygen vacancy and coupled with metallic cocatalyst can facilitate charge separation and transfer electrons. In this work, mesoporous TiO2 and titanium-based perovskite oxides (BaTiO3 and SrTiO3) nanoparticle assembly incorporated with abundant oxygen vacancy and copper particles have been successfully synthesized for CO2 photoreduction. As an example, the TiO2 decorated with different amounts of Cu particles has an impact on photocatalytic CO2 reduction into CH4 and CO. Particularly, the optimal TiO2/Cu-0.1 exhibits nearly 13.5 times higher CH4 yield (22.27 μmol g-1 h-1) than that of pristine TiO2 (1.65 μmol g-1 h-1). The as-obtained BaTiO3/Cu-0.1 and SrTiO3/Cu-0.1 also show enhanced CH4 yields towards photocatalytic CO2 reduction compared with pristine ones. Based on the temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and photo/electrochemical measurements, the co-embedding of Cu particles and abundant oxygen vacancy into the titanium-based oxides could promote CO2 adsorption capacity as well as separation and transfer of photoinduced electron-hole pairs, and finally result in efficient CO2 photoreduction upon the TiO2/Cu, SrTiO3/Cu, and BaTiO3/Cu composites.

Mineralization of High-Concentration Aqueous Aniline by Hybrid Process. WATER 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/w14040630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
The efficient mineralization of high-concentration aqueous aniline (HCAA) is an issue needing to be resolved. In this study, a hybrid process of ozonation and electrochemical oxidation (ECO) was proposed for improving the mineralization of HCAA (1000 mg·L−1). The results indicated that chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal by the hybrid process was far greater than that of a single ozonation or ECO process, revealing that the hybrid process might avoid low efficiency in late ozonation and initial ECO. Thus, a subsequent combination effect clearly existed. In this hybrid process, ozonation stage time was selected as 60 min for optimal COD removal. The main products of the ozonation stage were maleic and succinic acids, with declining pH which was beneficial to the following ECO stage. Nitrite and nitrate formed during ozonation, which acted as electrolytes for the ECO stage, in which maleic and succinic acids were fully degraded and pH thus increased. Moreover, the aniline degradation mechanism of the hybrid process was deduced, demonstrating the superiority of this hybrid process. Finally, more than 95% COD removal was achieved, which met the COD limit requirement and achieved pH control simultaneously, according to the discharge standards of water pollutants for dyeing and finishing of the textile industry in China (GB 4287–2012).
