Abstract
Non-thermal atmospheric plasma of the gliding arc type was used as a tool for goethite-on-biochar hybrid material preparation. Biochars were first prepared by carbonizing raffia bamboo (the leafstalk of raffia palm) pith at 300 °C (BC3), 500 °C (BC5) and 700 °C (BC7). A suspension of each biochar in Fe2+ aqueous solution was then exposed to a plasma discharge burning in humid air. α-FeOOH particles were thus formed and spontaneously deposited on the biochar surface. In order to investigate the effect of plasma species on the support during goethite deposition, biochars were also treated with plasma in the absence of Fe2+ ions and then characterized. Results revealed a substantial hydroxylation and slight N-doping of biochar after plasma treatment. The prepared composite materials were tested in oxidative degradation of nitroresorcinol. The catalytic performances were in the order Fe-BC3 < Fe-BC7 < Fe-BC5 according to the abatement efficiency and half-time values obtained for each catalyst. This study establishes that waste biomass and atmospheric air can be simultaneously valorised for green production of heterogeneous catalysts. Non-thermal atmospheric plasma of the gliding arc type was used as a tool for goethite-on-biochar hybrid material preparation.![]()

Altering fiber density of cockscomb-like fibrous silica-titania catalysts for enhanced photodegradation of ibuprofen. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2018; 227:34-43. [PMID: 30172157 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2018.08.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2018] [Revised: 08/05/2018] [Accepted: 08/16/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Fibrous silica-titania (FST) catalysts were synthesized by microemulsion followed by silica seed-crystal crystallization methods under various molar ratios of toluene to water (T/W). The catalysts were characterized by XRD, UV-DRS, FESEM, TEM, AFM, N2 adsorption-desorption, FTIR, and ESR. The results revealed that altering the T/W ratio affected the growth of the silica and titania and led to different size, fiber density, silica-titania structure, and number of hydroxyl groups, as well as oxygen vacancies in the FSTs, which altered their behavior toward subsequent application. Photodegradation of ibuprofen (IBP) are in the following order: FST(6:1) (90%) > FST(5:1) (84%) > FST(7:1) (79%) > commercial TiO2 (67%). A kinetics study using Langmuir-Hinshelwood model illustrated that the photodegradation followed the pseudo-first-order and adsorption was the rate-limiting step. Optimization by response surface methodology (RSM) showed that the pH, initial concentration, and catalyst dosage were the remarkable parameters in photodegradation of IBP. The FST (6:1) maintained its photocatalytic activities for up to five cycles reaction without serious catalyst deactivation, and was also able to degrade other endocrine-disrupting chemicals, indicating its potential use for the treatment of those chemicals in wastewater.

Abstract
Due to its high light absorption coefficient and appropriate bandgap, CuInS2 (CIS) has been receiving much attention as an absorber material for thin film solar cells and also as a visible light photocatalyst. Herein we present heterostructured CIS/ZnO nanorods (NRs) in an attempt to enhance light absorption and facilitate charge separation/transfer in the photocatalysis system. CIS nanoparticles (NPs) were directly deposited on ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs) to fabricate heterostructured CIS/ZnO NRAs using an environmentally benign, non-hydrazine solution reaction. These heterostructured NRAs are immobilized on FTO glass, which has additional merits of recyclability and bias-applicability. The ideal type-II band structure of CIS/ZnO enables efficient charge separation/transfer, which is confirmed by PL (photoluminescence) decay measurements. Also, the 1D-ZnO NR structure facilitates fast charge transfer along with enhancing light absorption via light scattering. These synergistic effects improved the photocatalytic activity in both organic dye and bacteria decomposition. The photodecomposition efficiency was further enhanced with an aid of external bias. The underlying photocatalytic mechanism was also investigated through controlled experiments under various scavenging conditions. The results suggest that reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed by multistep reduction of O2 play a main role in photocatalysis, while hole-induced photodecomposition is relatively deactivated due to the band structure of the heterostructures of CIS/ZnO.
