Performance and Mechanism of Co and Mn Loaded on Fe-Metal-Organic Framework Catalysts with Different Morphologies for Simultaneous Degradation of Acetone and NO by Photothermal Coupling. TOXICS 2024; 12:524. [PMID: 39058176 DOI: 10.3390/toxics12070524] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
VOCs can be used instead of ammonia as a reducing agent to remove NO, achieving the effect of removing VOCs and NO simultaneously. Due to the high energy consumption and low photocatalytic efficiency required for conventional thermocatalytic purification, photothermal coupled catalytic purification can integrate the advantages of photocatalysis and thermocatalysis in order to achieve the effect of pollutants being treated efficiently with a low energy consumption. In this study, samples loaded with Co and Mn catalysts were prepared using the hydrothermal method on Fe-MOF with various morphologies. The catalytic performance of each catalyst was analyzed by studying the effects of their physicochemical properties through various characterizations, including XRD, SEM, BET, XPS, H2-TPR, TEM and O2-TPD. The characterization results demonstrated that the specific surface area, pore volume, high valence Co and Mn atoms, surface adsorbed oxygen and the abundance of oxygen lattice defects in the catalysts were the most critical factors affecting the performance of the catalysts. Based on the results of the performance tests, the catalysts prepared with an octahedral-shaped Fe-MOF loaded with Co and Mn showed a better performance than those loaded with Co and Mn on a rod-shaped Fe-MOF. The conversions of acetone and NO reached 50% and 64%, respectively, at 240 °C. The results showed that the catalysts were capable of removing acetone and NO at the same time. Compared with the pure Fe-MOF without Co and Mn, the loaded catalysts showed a significantly higher ability to remove acetone and NO simultaneously under the combination of various factors. The key reaction steps for the catalytic conversion of acetone and NO on the catalyst surface were investigated according to the Mars-van Krevelen (MvK) mechanism, and a possible mechanism was proposed. This study presents a new idea for the simultaneous removal of acetone and NOx by photothermal coupling.

Abstract
There is much interest in developing metal-free halogenated graphene such as fluorinated graphene for various catalytic applications. In this work, a fluorine-doped graphene oxide photocatalyst was investigated for photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) of a volatile organic compound (VOC), namely gaseous methanol. The fluorination process of graphene oxide (GO) was carried out via a novel and facile solution-based photoirradiation method. The fluorine atoms were doped on the surface of the GO in a semi-ionic C-F bond configuration. This presence of the semi-ionic C-F bonds induced a dramatic 7-fold increment of the hole charge carrier density of the photocatalyst. The fluorinated GO photocatalyst exhibited excellent photodegradation up to 93.5% or 0.493 h-1 according pseudo-first order kinetics for methanol. In addition, 91.7% of methanol was mineralized into harmless carbon dioxide (CO2) under UV-A irradiation. Furthermore, the photocatalyst demonstrated good stability in five cycles of methanol PCO. Besides methanol, other VOCs such as acetone and formaldehyde were also photodegraded. This work reveals the potential of fluorination in producing effective graphene-based photocatalyst for VOC removal.

Abstract
Heterogeneous growth of photocatalysts on different porous substrates is a solution to avoid secondary pollution caused by composite photocatalysts themselves. However, the heterogeneous growth of composite photocatalysts with nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCQDs) inclusions-introduced during synthesis-impedes the direct growth on the substrate. To overcome this problem, NCQDs were grown on a Co9S8 (NCQDs-G@Co9S8) layer, decorated on cotton fabric. This optimal coupling mode of NCQDs and Co9S8 showed 54% degradation, compared to 33% dye degradation via NCQDs-doped Co9S8 (NCQDs-D@Co9S8). The change in the crystal structure and its lower loading on fabric results in significantly lower performance of NCQDs-D@Co9S8. Even with the combination of both surface growth and doping (NCQDs-DG@Co9S8), the performance was still limited to 42%. In addition, the optimum growth concentration of NCQDs on Co9S8 was observed for 7.5 w/w %, resulting in 92% photocatalytic activity (PCA) in 80 min. Comparing different surface states formed in NCQDs using different solvents, water-based surface states (oxygen-rich surface) are most suitable for the dye degradation. NCQDs-G@Co9S8 also offers 67% Cr-VI reduction to Cr-III, showing its suitability for both inorganic and organic compounds. Better electrode performance was related to suitable charge separation of the composite, where -OH groups mainly contribute in the photocatalytic dye degradation..

Abstract
The growing environmental and energy crises have prompted researchers to seek new solutions, including large-scale photocatalytic environmental remediation and the production of solar hydrogen using photocatalytic materials. To achieve this goal, scientists have developed numerous photocatalysts with high efficiency and stability. However, the large-scale application of photocatalytic systems under real-world conditions is still limited. These limitations arise at every step, including the large-scale synthesis and deposition of photocatalyst particles on a solid support, and the development of an optimal design with high mass transfer and efficient photon absorption. The purpose of this article is to provide a detailed description of the primary challenges and potential solutions encountered in scaling up photocatalytic systems for use in large-scale water and air purification and solar hydrogen production. Additionally, based on a review of current pilot developments, we draw conclusions and make comparisons regarding the main operating parameters that affect performance, as well as propose strategies for future research.

Abstract
Aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a type of common pollution form in chemical contaminated sites. In this study, seven aromatic VOCs such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, chlorobenzene, m-xylene, p-chlorotoluene and p-chlorotrifluorotoluene were used as the only carbon source, and four strains of highly efficient degrading bacteria were screened from the soil of chemical contaminated sites, then the synthetic bacterial consortium was constructed after mixing with an existing functional strain (Bacillus benzoevorans) preserved in the laboratory. After that, the synthetic bacterial consortium was used to explore the degradation effect of simulated aromatic VOCs polluted wastewater. The results showed that the functional bacterium could metabolize with aromatic VOCs as the only carbon source and energy. Meanwhile, the growth of the synthetic bacterial consortium increased with the additional carbon resources and the alternative of organic nitrogen source. Ultimately, the applicability of the synthetic bacterial consortium in organic contaminated sites was explored through the study of broad-spectrum activity.

Abstract
This study adopts a facile and effective in situ encapsulation-oxidation strategy for constructing a coupling catalyst composed of atomically dispersed Pt-doped Co3 O4 spinel nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in polyhedron frames (PFs) for robust propane total oxidation. Benefiting from the abundant oxygen vacancies and more highly valent active Co3+ species caused by the doping of Pt atoms as well as the confinement effect, the optimized 0.2Pt-Co3 O4 NPs/PFs catalyst exhibits excellent propane catalytic activity with low T90 (184 °C), superior apparent reaction rate (21.62×108 (mol gcat -1 s-1 )), low apparent activation energy (Ea = 17.89 kJ mol-1 ), high turnover frequency ( 811×107 (mol gcat -1 s-1 )) as well as good stability. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations indicate that the doping of Pt atoms enhances the oxygen activation ability, and decreases the energy barrier required for CH bond breaking, thus improving the deep oxidation process of the intermediate species. This study opens up new ideas for constructing coupling catalysts from atomic scale with low cost to enhance the activation of oxygen molecules and the deep oxidation of linear short chain alkanes at low temperature.

Abstract
In this study, toluene and ethylbenzene were degraded in the photocatalytic-proxone process using BiOI@NH2-MIL125(Ti)/Zeolite nanocomposite. The simultaneous presence of ozone and hydrogen peroxide is known as the proxone process. Nanocomposite Synthesis was carried out using the solvothermal method. Inlet airflow, ozone concentrations, H2O2 concentrations, relative humidity, and initial pollutants concentrations were studied. The nanocomposite was successfully synthesized based on FT-IR, BET, XRD, FESEM, EDS element mapping, UV-Vis spectra and TEM analysis. A flow rate of 0.1 L min-1, 0.3 mg min-1 of ozone, 150 ppm of hydrogen peroxide, 45% relative humidity, and 50 ppmv of pollutants were found to be optimal operating conditions. Both pollutants were degraded in excess of 95% under these conditions. For toluene and ethylbenzene, the synergistic of mechanisms effect coefficients were 1.56 and 1.76, respectively. It remained above 95% efficiency 7 times in the hybrid process and had good stability. Photocatalytic-proxone processes were evaluated for stability over 180 min. The remaining ozone levels in the process was insignificant (0.01 mg min-1). The CO2 and CO production in the photocatalytic-proxone process were 58.4, 5.7 ppm for toluene and 53.7, and 5.5 ppm for ethylbenzene respectively. Oxygen gas promoted and nitrogen gas had an inhibitory effect on the effective removal of pollutants. During the pollutants oxidation, various organic intermediates were identified.

Abstract
It is a significant issue for environmental protection and industrial production to eliminate CO, a gas harmful to life and some important reaction sites. Real environmental conditions require catalytic CO oxidation to occur at relatively low temperature. Nowadays, photothermal catalysis has been exploited as a new way to achieve CO elimination, different from thermal catalysis. CuO, as cheap and abundant substitute for precious metals, is considered to have potential in photothermal catalysis. Oxygen vacancies (OV) and lattice oxygen (OL) activity are considered extremely crucial for oxide catalysts in CO oxidation, according to Mars-van Krevelen mechanism. Herein, porous CuO nanoplates with adjustable OVand OLactivity were prepared by a facile method via controlling the morphology and phase composition of precursors. The light-off temperature (50% conversion) of the best sample obtained under the optimal conditions was ∼110 °C and an almost complete conversion was reached at ∼150 °C. It also achieved nearly 70% conversion under 6 standard Suns (6 kW cm-2irradiation) and could work in infrared radiation (IR) regions, which could be attributed to the photo-induced thermal effect and activation effect. The simple synthesis and characterization provide a good example for the future photothermal catalysis.

Abstract
A titania-free heterostructure based on CuS/SnO2/WO3 was obtained by a three-step sol–gel method followed by spray deposition on the glass substrate. The samples exhibit crystalline structures and homogenous composition. The WO3 single-component sample morphology consists of fibers that serve as the substrate for SnO2 development. The CuS/SnO2/WO3 heterostructure is characterized by a dense granular morphology. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated under UV–Vis radiation and indicates that the WO3 single-component sample is able to remove 41.1% of acetaldehyde (64.9 ppm) and 52.5% of formaldehyde (81.4 ppm). However, the CuS/SnO2/WO3 exhibits a superior photocatalytic activity due to a larger light spectrum absorption and lower charge carrier recombination rate, allowing the removal of 69.2% of acetaldehyde and 78.5% of formaldehyde. The reusability tests indicate that the samples have a stable photocatalytic activity after three cycle (12 h/cycle) assessments. During light irradiation, the heterostructure acted as a Z-scheme mechanism using the redox ability of the CuS conduction band electrons and the SnO2/WO3 valence band holes to generate the oxidative species required for VOC removal.

Abstract
Photothermal synergistic catalytic oxidation of toluene over single-atom Pt catalysts was investigated. Compared with the conventional thermocatalytic oxidation in the dark, toluene conversion and CO2 yield over 0.39Pt1/CuO-CeO2 under simulated solar irradiation (λ = 320-2500 nm, optical power density = 200 mW cm-2) at 180 °C could be increased about 48%. An amount of CuO was added to CeO2 to disperse single-atom Pt with a maximal Pt loading of 0.83 wt %. The synergistic effect between photo- and thermocatalysis is very important for the development of new pollutant treatment technology with high efficiency and low energy consumption. Both light and heat played an important role in the present photothermal synergistic catalytic oxidation. 0.39Pt1/CuO-CeO2 showed good redox performance and excellent optical properties and utilized the full-spectrum solar energy. Light illumination induced the generation of reactive oxygen species (•OH and •O2-), which accelerated the transformation of intermediates, promoted the release of active sites on the catalyst surface, and improved the oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Since nano scale local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) can broaden the visible absorption region, enhance the local electromagnetic field and produce a thermal effect simultaneously, the appropriate utilization of the LSPR effect is a noteworthy research direction towards visible light driven photocatalysts with high efficiency and low cost. In this study, the influence mechanism of the optical, electric, magnetic, and thermal physical fields on the photocatalytic efficiency of the LSPR system is for the first time reviewed, based on which the research bottlenecks of this method including the accurate predesign and regulation of the photocatalyst, the interpretation of electron movement and energy transfer mechanism, are specifically analyzed. Due to the micro-nano localization of LSPR, auxiliary methods are needed to reflect the micro electromagnetic and temperature field distribution which are otherwise formidable to measure experimentally. Alternatively, numerical methods with decoupling calculations of nano-scale physical fields are necessary to develop. Therefore, the development potential of different numerical simulation methods including mainstream FDTD, FEM and DDA is subsequently expounded, providing opportunities in resolving the bottleneck issues associated with photocatalysis. It is worth mentioning that although many important advances have been achieved in the preparation and application of LSPR assisted photocatalysts, the convincing function mechanism of LSPR is still lacking due to its multifield synergistic enhancement effect.

Abstract
Despite the apparent improvement in air quality in recent years through a series of effective measures, the concentration of PM2.5 and O3 in Chengdu city remains high. And both the two pollutants can cause serious damage to human health and property; consequently, it is imperative to accurately forecast hourly concentration of PM2.5 and O3 in advance. In this study, an air quality forecasting method based on random forest (RF) method and improved ant colony algorithm coupled with back-propagation neural network (IACA-BPNN) are proposed. RF method was used to screen out highly correlated input variables, and the improved ant colony algorithm (IACA) was adopted to combine with BPNN to improve the convergence performance. Two datasets based on two different kinds of monitoring stations along with meteorological data were applied to verify the performance of this proposed model and compared with another five plain models. The results showed that the RF-IACA-BPNN model has the minimum statistical error of the mean absolute error, root mean square error, and mean absolute percentage error, and the values of R2 consistently outperform other models. Thus, it is concluded that the proposed model is suitable for air quality prediction. It was also detected that the performance of the models for the forecasting of the hourly concentrations of PM2.5 were more acceptable at suburban station than downtown station, while the case is just the opposite for O3, on account of the low variability dataset at suburban station.
