THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 875:162651. [PMID: 36894082 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
In this paper, an efficient catalyst UiO-66-BTU/Fe2O3 was synthesized by using bisthiourea modified zirconium-based metal organic framework (Zr-MOF). The UiO-66-BTU/Fe2O3 system features outstanding Fenton-like activity that is 22.84 times and 12.91 times larger than Fe2O3 and conventional UiO-66-NH2/Fe2O3 system. It also exhibits good stability, broad pH range and recycle ability. Through comprehensive mechanistic investigations, we have ascribed the excellent catalytic performance of the UiO-66-BTU/Fe2O3 system to 1O2 and HO as the reactive intermediates, cause Zr centers can make complexation with Fe to form dual centers. Meanwhile, the CS on the bisthiourea can form Fe-S-C bonds with Fe2O3, reducing the redox potential of Fe(III)/Fe(II) and influencing the decomposing of H2O2, which indirectly regulate the interaction between Fe and Zr to accelerate electron transfer during the reaction. This work exhibits the design and understanding of the iron oxides incorporated in modified MOFs with excellent Fenton-like catalytic performance to remove phenoxy acid herbicides.

Abstract
In this work, CQDs decorated MnIn2S4/CdS/Bi2S3 heterojunction was prepared successfully by hydrothermal technique for photocatalytic disinfection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and mineralization of methyl orange (MO) dye. The charge transferal route and mineralization process in CQDs-MnIn2S4/CdS/Bi2S3 heterojunction were comprehensively investigated by advanced spectroscopic techniques. The improved visible-light activity and enhanced photo-generated charge transferal efficacy caused dual Z-scheme CQDs-MnIn2S4/CdS/Bi2S3 heterojunction to achieve boosted photodegradation ability. The catalytic degradation trend was followed as CQDs-MnIn2S4/CdS/Bi2S3 > MnIn2S4 > CdS > Bi2S3. The dye was mineralized within 180 min under visible light irradiation. The effect of reaction parameters, pH effect, catalyst dosage, and H2O2 addition on MO degradation was also investigated. The degradation rate was maximal at pH 4 with a pseudo-first-order rate constant, 0.0438 min-1. The assessment of antibacterial properties revealed that CQDs-MnIn2S4/CdS/Bi2S3 composite effectively inactivated E. coli under visible light. Scavenging experiments, transient photocurrent response, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy suggested that •[Formula: see text] and holes were the dominant reactive species. The Z-scheme heterojunction is recyclable up to ten photocatalytic cycles according to recycling experiments. This research indicates the importance of dual Z-scheme CQDs decorated MnIn2S4/CdS/Bi2S3 heterojunction in wastewater remediation.

Abstract
Aiming to bring photocatalytic and electrocatalytic oxidation processes into solving practical issue of organics and ammonia-nitrogen pollution in landscape water that resulting in algae bloom and eutrophication, this work firstly investigates photocatalytic oxidation of humic acid and electrochemical oxidation of ammonia upon optimization of each process parameters, respectively. The platinum modified titania (Pt/TiO2) exhibits improved activity than pure titania and CuOx, MnOx and NiOx modified titania for decomposition of humic acid. As an application-oriented study, this work has developed a simple and effective brushing and annealing method for immobilization of TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 onto ceramic foam for further application. In addition, the RuO2-IrO2/Ti electrode presents the best electrocatalytic activity compared with RuO2/Ti and IrO2/Ti electrodes in terms of ammonia oxidation, and the ammonia conversion pathways have been studied. Lastly, an integrated and enlarged reactor system employing optimized photocatalytic ceramic foam and stable electrodes has been developed for simultaneous oxidation of humic acid and ammonia-nitrogen in water circulated flow condition, based on cooperative production of reactive oxidant species between photocatalysis and electrocatalysis. The results show that coupled photocatalytic and electrocatalytic oxidation is a promising approach for treatment of organic matter and inorganic ammonia nitrogen in landscape water.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 296:113305.

Abstract
The present study involves a novel protocol to develop a ternary composite catalyst for an effective post-treatment technique for greywater. The ternary film of Fe2O3-TiO2/polyvinyl pyrrolidine (PVP) is coated on a glass tube using spray coating with annealing at 320 °C. The structure, thermal, microstructure, and surface properties of the coated film are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The scratch hardness of photocatalysts at different Fe2O3/TiO2 compositions is investigated based on the width measurement of scratch using FESEM analysis. Results show that at an optimum coating of 5% of Fe2O3/TiO2 composition catalytic film, the maximum scratch hardness (7.984 GPa) is obtained. Also, the photocatalyst has the highest cohesive bond strength and wearing resistance. The degradation of triclosan (TCS) in treated greywater, discharged from the anaerobic-aerobic treatment system, is investigated at a lab-scale using a solar photocatalytic reactor. The response surface analysis has been performed from the different sets of experimental trials for various optimal parameters. It is observed that the TCS degradation efficiency of 83.27% has resulted under optimum conditions.
