Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange using ZnO/TiO2 composites

ZnO/TiO₂ composites were synthesized by using the solvothermal method and ultrasonic precipitation followed by heat treatment in order to investigate their photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) in aqueous suspension under UV irradiation. The composition and surface structure of the catalyst were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The degradation efficiencies of MO at various pH values were obtained. The highest degradation efficiencies were obtained before 30 min and after 60 min at pH 11.0 and pH 2.0, respectively. A sample analysis was conducted using liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry. Six intermediates were found during the photocatalytic degradation process of quinonoid MO. The degradation pathway of quinonoid MO was also proposed.     

Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange using ZnO nanorods

Nanosized ZnO rods were synthesized using a microwave-assisted aqueous method. High molecular weight polyvinyl alcohol was used as a stabilizing agent. Size, surface morphology, and structure were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). SEM and TEM images show that ZnO nanorods have diameters of about 50?nm and lengths of a few micrometers. The XRD pattern reveals that ZnO nanorods are of hexagonal wurtzite structure. The average crystallite size calculated from Scherrer's relation was found to be 40?nm. The effects of catalyst loading, pH value, and initial concentration of methyl orange on the photocatalytic degradation efficiency using ZnO nanorods as photocatalyst were discussed.

Enhancement of photoelectrocatalytic properties of stainless-steel/TiO2 electrode by applying mid-frequency electric field

Nanocrystalline TiO₂ films were prepared by magnetron sputtering technique on stainless-steel substrates. The as-deposited TiO₂ thin films were in anatase structure with smooth surface morphology. Decomposition of methyl orange was used to measure the photoelectrocatalytic activity. The degradation rate of methyl orange increased with externally applied potential. To further accelerate the photocatalytic reaction, a novel method was employed by applying an external electric field in the mid-frequency domain. The fastest photocatalytic degradation rate of methyl orange was obtained when the frequency was maintained at 20 kHz with an external anodic bias at 3.0 V.     

UV-LED/P25-based photocatalysis for effective degradation of isothiazolone biocide

• UV-LED with shorter wavelength was beneficial for photocatalytic degradation. • SRNOM dramatically inhibit the degradation. • ·OH acts as the active radical in photocatalytic degradation. • Degradation mainly undergoes oxidation, hydrolysis and chain growth reactions. In this work, LED-based photocatalysis using mixed rutile and anatase phase TiO₂ (P25) as the photocatalyst could effectively remove 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMIT) and methylisothiazolone (MIT) simultaneously, with removal efficiencies above 80% within 20 min. The photocatalytic degradation of both CMIT and MIT could be modeled using a pseudo-first-order rate equation. The photocatalytic degradation rates of CMIT and MIT under LED280 illumination were higher than under LED310 or LED360 illumination. At concentrations below 100 mg/L, the degradation rate of CMIT and MIT under LED illumination significantly increased with increasing catalyst dosage. Additionally, the effects of the chloride ion concentration, alkalinity and dissolved organic matter on the photocatalytic degradation reaction were also investigated. The ·OH free radicals were determined to play the primary role in the photocatalytic degradation reaction, with a degradation contribution of >95%. The photocatalytic degradation of CMIT and MIT mainly occurred via oxidation, hydrolysis, and chain growth reactions. Finally, the possible photocatalytic degradation pathways of CMIT and MIT over LED/P25 are proposed.     

One-step synthesis of bentonite-supported nanoscale Fe/Ni bimetals for rapid degradation of methyl orange in water

Although nanoscale zero-valent iron (nano-Fe⁰) is used to remediate pollutants, this reagent still presents stability and reactivity issues. To solve those issues, we synthesized bentonite-supported nanoscale iron bimetals B-Fe/Ni and B-Fe/Pd. We then used those reagents to degrade the methyl orange dye in water. Results of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that the presence of bentonite and bimetal decreased nanoscale iron aggregation and increased methyl orange removal efficiency. More than 90 % of methyl orange at 100 mg/L was degraded by B-Fe/Ni (0.15 g/L) in 10 min. By comparison, only 62 % of methyl orange was degraded by B-Fe, and 35 % of methyl orange was degraded by nano-Fe⁰. The degradation rate decreased with the increase of the initial concentration of methyl orange. Lower pH allowed fast removal of methyl orange. Overall our findings show that a nanoscale Fe/Ni on bentonite-supported material is more efficient than nano-Fe⁰. One-step synthesis is more convenient than current two-step-synthesized nanoscale bimetals. Bentonite-supported nanoscale bimetals could therefore be an economic competitive candidate for contaminated water remediation.
