[PMID: 38972463 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the degradation of the flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) using platinized tungsten oxide (Pt/WO3), synthesized via a simple photodeposition method, under visible light. The results of degradation experiments show a significant enhancement in TBBPA degradation upon surface platinization of WO3, with the degradation rate increasing by 13.4 times compared to bare WO3. The presence of Pt on the WO3 surface stores conduction band electrons, which facilitates the two-electron reduction of oxygen and enhances the production of valence band holes (hVB+) and hydroxyl radicals (●OH). Both hVB+ and ●OH are significantly involved in the degradation of TBBPA in the visible light-irradiated Pt/WO3 system. This was verified through fluorescence spectroscopy employing coumarin as a chemical probe and oxidizing species-quenching experiments. The analysis of degradation products and their toxicity assessment demonstrate that the toxicity of TBBPA-contaminated water is significantly reduced after Pt/WO3 photocatalysis. The degradation rate of TBBPA increased with increasing Pt/WO3 dosage, reached an optimum at a Pt content of 0.5 wt%, but decreased with increasing TBBPA concentration. The decrease in degradation efficiency of Pt/WO3 was minor, both in the presence of various anions and after repeated use. This study proposes that Pt/WO3 is a viable photocatalyst for the degradation of TBBPA in water under visible light.

Synthesis of 3D Sb 2O 3-based heterojunction reinforced by SPR effect and photo-Fenton mechanism for upgraded oxidation of metronidazole in water environments. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 362:121347. [PMID: 38838534 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121347] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
The traditional homogenous and heterogenous Fenton reactions have frequently been restrained by the lower production of Fe2+ ions, which significantly obstructs the generation of hydroxyl radicals from the decomposition of H2O2. Thus, we introduce novel photo-Fenton-assisted plasmonic heterojunctions by immobilizing Fe3O4 and Bi nanoparticles onto 3D Sb2O3 via co-precipitation and solvothermal approaches. The ternary Sb2O3/Fe3O4/Bi composites offered boosted photo-Fenton behavior with a metronidazole (MNZ) oxidation efficiency of 92% within 60 min. Among all composites, the Sb2O3/Fe3O4/Bi-5% hybrid exhibited an optimum photo-Fenton MNZ reaction constant of 0.03682 min- 1, which is 5.03 and 2.39 times higher than pure Sb2O3 and Sb2O3/Fe3O4, respectively. The upgraded oxidation activity was connected to the complementary outcomes between the photo-Fenton behavior of Sb2O3/Fe3O4 and the plasmonic effect of Bi NPs. The regular assembly of Fe3O4 and Bi NPs enhances the surface area and stability of Sb2O3/Fe3O4/Bi. Moreover, the limited absorption spectra of Sb2O3 were extended into solar radiation by the Fe3+ defect of Fe3O4 NPs and the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Bi NPs. The photo-Fenton mechanism suggests that the co-existence of Fe3O4/Bi NPs acts as electron acceptor/donor, respectively, which reduces recombination losses, prolongs the lifetime of photocarriers, and produces more reactive species, stimulating the overall photo-Fenton reactions. On the other hand, the photo-Fenton activity of MNZ antibiotics was optimized under different experimental conditions, including catalyst loading, solution pH, initial MNZ concentrations, anions, and real water environments. Besides, the trapping outcomes verified the vital participation of •OH, h+, and •O2- in the MNZ destruction over Sb2O3/Fe3O4/Bi-5%. In summary, this work excites novel perspectives in developing boosted photosystems through integrating the photocatalysis power with both Fenton reactions and the SPR effects of plasmonic materials.

Abstract
Photodegradation of paraquat herbicide was assessed over several TiO2-WO3 heterojunctions embedded in the diatomite matrix. The characterization results indicated that WO3 embedding in the TiO2 decorated-diatomite matrix could not only enhance the adsorption capacity, visible-light response, and distribution of semiconductor species but also lessen the recombination rate and band gap energy. These characteristics were more noticeable as 5 wt.% of WO3 was embedded. Despite better optical properties of immobilized TiO2-WO3 nanocomposites, overloading WO3 generally alleviates the synergetic effect of tungsten due to surface coverage of diatomite matrix and, subsequently, the significant attenuation of textural properties, more formation of agglomerations and defects as trapping centers in the oxidation sites of heterostructures, and also, less likely of forming TiO2-WO3 heterojunction. In accordance with characterization results, the highest UV-photodegradation of paraquat was attained over heterostructured nanocomposite containing 5 wt.% WO3 (T25-W5/Di). The effects of significant operating parameters were also investigated, modeled, and optimized using response surface methodology (RSM)-central composite design (CCD). Under optimized operation conditions, the experimental removal efficiency of paraquat reached 97.1 and 80% using UV and simulated solar light, respectively. Moreover, the reusability results confirm the sustained activity of the T25-W5/Di nanocomposite.

Abstract
This study investigated the removal of an organic drug called ibuprofen from the wastewater containing this drug. Iron oxide supported on modified Iranian clinoptilolite was used as the photocatalyst in the presence of the light of a solar lamp. XRD, SEM, EDAX, and FT-IR analyses were performed to detect the prepared photocatalyst. The results of photocatalytic identification analyses proved the suitable loading of iron oxide supported on modified Iranian clinoptilolite. This study investigated the effect of initial concentration of ibuprofen (5-25 mg/L), photocatalyst concentration (100-300 mg/L), and process time (10-240 min) on the removal from ibuprofen from wastewater containing this drug. The experiments were performed in a setup in the presence of a solar lamp with a flux of 300 W/m2. The results indicated that with the initial ibuprofen concentration of 25 mg/L, photocatalyst concentration of 300 mg/L, and time of 210 min, the highest percentage of ibuprofen removal and ibuprofen adsorbed on the catalyst were 99.80% and 83.17 mg/g, respectively. Kinetic modeling was then performed using the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, and a quasi-first-order kinetic model showed a good agreement with the results obtained. Finally, the recovery of the photocatalyst was investigated, and the results showed that under optimal conditions about 91% of ibuprofen was removed after five re-uses of the photocatalyst.

Abstract
This study aimed to produce a clean energy, hydrogen, and to remove pollutants simultaneously in water by photoelectrochemical (PEC) method. The photo-anode of cuprous oxide modified titanate nanotube arrays (Cu2O/TNTAs) was synthesized by using lactic acid, green tea, and coffee as reductants individually. The characterizations of Cu2O/TNTAs were performed by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to investigate the physical and chemical properties such as structure, crystallization, element contents, and optical performance. The electrochemical analyses of Cu2O/TNTAs showed the photo-current of Cu2O/TNTAs-t (using green tea as reductant) was 2.4 times higher than pure TNTAs, illustrating the effective separation of electron-hole pairs after Cu2O modification. The photoelectrochemical performances of Cu2O/TNTAs-t and Cu2O/TNTAs-c (using coffee as the reductant) were better than Cu2O/TNTAs-L (using lactic acid as the reductant) in terms of photo-current density, Ibuprofen degradation, and hydrogen generation, implying that depositing Cu2O on TNTAs can significantly improve the electron mobility by reducing the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs, which is beneficial to simultaneously ibuprofen degradation and hydrogen production.

Abstract
Photoinduced reduction and oxidation, the important processes in photocatalytic water splitting and organic degradation, have generated increasing interest to address the energy and environmental issues. In this review, the recent developments in bandgap and interfacial engineering for enhanced light absorption, efficient charge separation and interfacial reaction are focused toward the applications in photocatalytic water splitting and organic degradation. In photoinduced reduction for hydrogen evolution, three major strategies are discussed: cocatalysts, sacrificial agents and heterojunctions. In photoinduced oxidation for organic degradation, three types of emerging pollutants of current concerns are highlighted: organic dyes, pharmaceuticals and volatile organic compounds. The key challenges of promising photocatalysts are discussed for future development and practical application.
