Abstract
Photocatalysis is essential for wastewater cleanup and clean energy, and in this current study, we have synthesized nanomaterials (iron oxide-based) for photocatalytic pollution degradation and hydrogen production. The performance of aluminium oxide/ferric oxide (Al2O3/Fe2O3), samarium oxide/ferric oxide (Sm2O3/Fe2O3) and yttrium oxide/ferric oxide (Y2O3/Fe2O3) were compared for the production of hydrogen (H2) and degradation of dye under natural sunlight. Various characterisation equipment was used to characterize these photocatalysts' structure, morphology, elemental content, binding energy and band gap. The hydrogen recovery efficiency of iron oxide-based photocatalysts from sulphide-containing wastewater is assessed. Y2O3/Fe2O3 has shown the highest hydrogen production of 340 mL/h. The influence of operating factors such as sulphide ion concentration, catalyst quantity, and photocatalyst photolytic solution volume on hydrogen production is studied. The optimal values were 0.25 M, 0.2 g/L, and 1L, respectively. The developed photocatalyst passed multiple cycles of stability testing. Fe2O3 has shown the highest Rhodamine B (RhB) dye degradation efficiency of 94% under visible light.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 215:114242. [PMID: 36067842 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Over the past few years, synthetic dye-contaminated wastewater has attracted considerable global attention due to the low biodegradability and the ability of organic dyes to persist and remain toxic, causing numerous health and environmental concerns. As a result of the recalcitrant nature of those complex organic dyes, the remediation of wastewater using conventional wastewater treatment techniques is becoming increasingly challenging. In recent years, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have emerged as a potential alternative to treat organic dyestuffs discharged from industries. The most widely employed AOPs include photocatalysis, ozonation, Fenton oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, catalytic heterogeneous oxidation, and ultrasound irradiation. These processes involve the generation of highly reactive radicals to oxidize organic dyes into innocuous minerals. However, many conventional AOPs suffer from several setbacks, including the high cost, high consumption of reagents and substrates, self-agglomeration of catalysts, limited reusability, and the requirement of light, ultrasound, or electricity. Therefore, there has been significant interest in improving the performance of conventional AOPs using biopolymers and heterogeneous catalysts such as metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs). Biopolymers have been widely considered in developing green, sustainable, eco-friendly, and low-cost AOP-based dye removal technologies. They inherit intriguing properties like biodegradability, renewability, nontoxicity, relative abundance, and sorption. In addition, the immobilization of catalysts on biopolymer supports has been proven to possess excellent catalytic activity and turnover numbers. The current review provides comprehensive coverage of different AOPs and how efficiently biopolymers, including cellulose, chitin, chitosan, alginate, gelatin, guar gum, keratin, silk fibroin, zein, albumin, lignin, and starch, have been integrated with heterogeneous AOPs in dye removal applications. This review also discusses the general degradation mechanisms of AOPs, applications of biopolymers in AOPs and the roles of biopolymers in AOPs-based dye removal processes. Furthermore, key challenges and future perspectives of biopolymer-based AOPs have also been highlighted.

Abstract
The photocatalytic activity of a flat surface can be increased by micro- and nanostructuring the interface to increase the area of the contact surface between the photocatalyst and the solute, and moreover, to optimize charge carrier transfer. Further enhancement can be achieved by using photonic nanostructures, which exhibit photonic band gap (PBG). Structurally coloured butterfly wings offer a rich 'library' of PBGs in the visible spectral range which can be used as naturally tuned sample sets for biotemplating. We used conformal atomic layer deposition of ZnO on the wings of various butterfly species (Arhopala asopia, Hypochrysops polycletus, Morpho sulkowskyi, Polyommatus icarus) possessing structural colour extending from the near UV to the blue wavelength range, to test the effects arising from the nanostructured surfaces and from the presence of different types of PBGs. Aqueous solutions of rhodamine B were used to test the enhancement of photocatalytic activity that was found for all ZnO-coated butterfly wings. The best reaction rate of decomposing rhodamine B when illuminated with visible light was found in 15 nm ZnO coated M. sulkowskyi wing, the reflectance of which had the highest overlap with the absorption band of the dye and had the highest reflectance intensity.

Colloidal CdS sensitized nano-ZnO/chitosan hydrogel with fast and efficient photocatalytic removal of congo red under solar light irradiation. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 174:52-60.

Abstract
Colloidal CdS sensitized nano-ZnO/chitosan (CdS@n-ZnO/CS) hydrogel was prepared and characterized extensively by XRD, SEM-EDS, TEM, UV-Vis DRS, FT-IR and TGA. The photocatalytic activity of CdS@n-ZnO/CS was evaluated with the photodegradation of congo red (CR) as an organic pollutant under solar light irradiation. The influences of initial dye concentration, catalyst dosage, recycling runs, and radical scavenger on decolorization of CR by CdS@n-ZnO/CS were investigated. 95% of CR was removed in just 1 min for 5.0 mg L-1 and 94.34% of CR was removed in 30 min for 100 mg L-1. CdS@n-ZnO/CS exhibited an excellent and ultra-fast performance toward CR removal under solar light due to the synergistic effect of adsorption by chitosan and photocatalysis by ZnO and CdS in CdS@n-ZnO/CS hydrogel. Radical trapping control experiments indicated that h+ and O2- played the major role for CR decolorization. The high performance of CdS@n-ZnO/CS hydrogel was also demonstrated under natural solar light irradiation, suggesting that CdS@n-ZnO/CS hydrogel could be used in practical wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this study, a special core–shell structured wool-TiO2 (WT) hybrid composite powder also having TiO2 nanoparticles incorporated inside cortical cells was reported. The wool pallets were pulverized from wool fibers using vibration-assisted ball milling technique and the WT powders having mesopores and macropores were produced in hydrothermal process. Experimental results indicated that the infiltrated TiO2 nanoparticles were amorphous structure, while the coated TiO2 nanoparticles were anatase phase structure. The crystallized TiO2 nanoparticles were grafted with wool pallets by the N−Ti4+/S−Ti4+/O−Ti4+ bonds. The BET surface area was measured as 153.5 m2/g and the particle sizes were in the 600–3600 nm and 4000–6500 nm ranges. The main reactive radical species of the WT powders were holes, and •O2−, 1O2, and •OH were also involved in the photodegradation of MB dye under visible light irradiation. The experimental parameters for photodegradation of MB dye solution were optimized as follows: 0.25 g/L of WT powders was added in 40 mL of 3 mg/L MB dye solution containing 50 mL/L H2O2, which resulted in the increases of COD value of degraded MB dye solution up to 916.9 mg/L at 120 min. The WT powders could be used for repeatedly photodegradation of both anionic and cationic dyes.

Abstract
Although the CdS photocatalyst has been extensively investigated, a rational hydrothermal synthesis route is still required to prepare highly active CdS for H2 evolution reaction (HER). To optimize the precursor of the sulfur source, three prevalent organic sulfur sources of thiourea (TA), thioacetamide (TAA) and l-cysteine (l-Cys) were used for hydrothermal synthesis of CdS. Their effects on the crystallographic structure, morphology, optical property, band structure, and photocatalytic HER performance of the products were then investigated systematically. The results indicated that hexagonal branched dendritic structure CdS (S-TA) could be produced in TA solution and showed the highest HER activity due to the branched 1D structure, the smallest interfacial electron transfer resistance and the most negative conduction band bottom (E cb). Whereas in TAA, spherical CdS (S-TAA) with a mixed phase of hexagonal and cubic was obtained. The mixed phase structure and the more positive E cb of S-TAA lead to a considerably lower HER activity than that of S-TA. Poorly crystallized hexagonal CdS nanoparticles (S-Cys) were prepared in l-Cys and showed the lowest HER performance as its E cb is very near to H+ reduction potential. Thus, compared to T-AA and l-Cys, TA is a more suitable sulfur source for hydrothermal preparation of highly active CdS for HER.

Abstract
Biomass is abundant and recyclable on the earth, which has been assigned numerous roles to human beings. However, over the past decades, accompanying with the rapid expansion of man-made materials, such as alloy, plastic, synthetic rubber and fiber, a great number of natural materials had been neglected and abandoned, such as straw, which cause a waste of resource and environmental pollution. In this review, based on introducing sources of discarded biomass, the main composition and polymer chains in discarded biomass materials, the traditional treatment and novel approach for reutilization of discarded biomass were summarized. The discarded biomass mainly come from plant wastes generated in the process of agriculture and forestry production and manufacturing processes, animal wastes generated in the process of animal husbandry and fishery production as well as the residual wastes produced in the process of food processing and rural living garbage. Compared with the traditional treatment including burning, landfill, feeding and fertilizer, the novel approach for reutilization of discarded biomass principally allotted to energy, ecology and polymer materials. The prepared functional materials covered in composite materials, biopolymer based adsorbent and flocculant, carrier materials, energy materials, smart polymer materials for medical and other intelligent polymer materials, which can effectively serve the environmental management and human life, such as wastewater treatment, catalyst, new energy, tissue engineering, drug controlled release, and coating. To sum up, the renewable and biodegradable discarded biomass resources play a vital role in the sustainable development of human society, as well as will be put more emphases in the future.
