设计并制备了新型Ti_0.7W_0.3O₂/BiVO₄ p-n复合异质结构界面光催化剂应用于可见光条件下降解模拟含苯酚污染物的废水.采用粉末X射线衍射（PXRD）、扫描电镜（SEM）、固体粉末紫外漫反射（DRS）及X射线光电子能谱（XPS）等技术表征了Ti_0.7W_0.3O₂/BiVO₄ p-n复合异质结构界面的性状.结果显示BiVO₄纳米粒子均匀地分布在Ti_0.7W_0.3O₂纳米颗粒周围并构筑了稳定的p-n复合异质结构界面.Ti_0.7W_0.3O₂/BiVO₄ p-n复合异质结构界面光催化剂具有更宽的可见光响应范围和更低的能带宽度.纯BiVO₄和Ti_0.7W_0.3O₂纳米颗粒的导带位置分别为-0.62 eV和0.56 eV.优化了Ti_0.7W_0.3O₂/BiVO₄ p-n复合异质结构界面光催化剂降解苯酚的条件（即：pH值为4.5,催化剂用量为0.60 g·L^-1和苯酚初始浓度95 mg·L^-1）,质量分数为5%Ti_0.7W_0.3O₂/BiVO₄表现出最高的苯酚催化活性且初始降解速率常数（k）为0.01137 min^-1.6次连续光催化降解苯酚后,Ti_0.7W_0.3O₂/BiVO₄ p-n复合异质结构表现出良好的稳定性和可循环使用性.自由基捕获结果说明3种自由基均参加了苯酚的光催化降解过程中,且氧化能力由强到弱顺序为：羟自由基（·OH^-） > 过氧化物自由基阴离子（·O^2-） > 光生空穴（h⁺）.总有机碳结果表明苯酚在降解的过程中是先产生了中间降解产物,最后这些中间产物再矿化为无机的CO₂和H₂O.利用对苯二甲酸（TA）荧光探针证明了Ti_0.7W_0.3O₂/BiVO₄ p-n复合异质结构界面光催化剂降解苯酚为羟自由基（·OH^-）机理反应;同时,利用紫外-可见光谱（UV-Vis）和高效液相色谱-质谱联用技术（HPLC-MS）探究了苯酚的中间降解产物,推测了苯酚在Ti_0.7W_0.3O₂/BiVO₄ p-n复合异质结构界面上可能的降解机理.     

Triton X-100 induced cuboid-like BiVO4 microsphere with high photocatalytic performance

A highly active visible light-induced BiVO₄ photocatalyst was prepared by a simple co-precipitation method using ammonia solution as a pH adjustor and Triton X-100 (TX100) as a structure directing agent. The physical properties of the prepared BiVO₄ photocatalyst were investigated by several techniques such as X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area measurement, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive analysis (EDS), Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), photoluminescence (PL), and UV–Vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). XRD results revealed the existence of a monoclinic scheelite structure in both the unmodified and the modified samples. The TX100 played a crucial role to control the cuboid-like shape morphology of BiVO₄. The DRS results showed that the as-prepared cuboid BiVO₄ possessed enhanced visible light absorption range compared with that of the unmodified BiVO₄. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated via indigo carmine (IC) degradation under visible light irradiation. The modified BiVO₄ showed higher photocatalytic efficiency than the unmodified BiVO₄ and the commercial P25-TiO₂ which could be ascribed to the better charge separation efficiency.

Synthesis of novel CeO2-BiVO4/FAC composites with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic properties

To utilize visible light more effectively in photocatalytic reactions, a fly ash cenosphere （FAC）-supported CeO2-BiV04 （CeO2-BiVO4/FAC） composite photocatalyst was prepared by modified metalorganic decomposition and impregnation methods. The physical and photophysical properties of the composite have been characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscope （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDX）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, and UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectra. The XRD patterns exhibited characteristic diffraction peaks of both BiVO4 and Ce02 crystalline phases. The XPS results showed that Ce was present as both Ce4＋ and Ce3＋ oxidation states in Ce02 and dispersed on the surface of BiV04 to constitute a p-n heterojunction composite. The absorption threshold of the CeO2-BiVO4/FAC composite shifted to a longer wavelength in the UV-Vis absorption spectrum compared to the pure Ce02 and pure BiV04. The composites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity for Methylene Blue （MB） degradation under visible light irradiation. It was found that the 7.5 wt.% CeO2-BiVO4/FAC composite showed the highest photocatalytic activity for MB dye wastewater treatment.     

Oxidation of SO2 in thin water films containing NH3

The reaction between NH₃ and SO₂ in thin water films was studied with a focus on the formation of sulfate. The reactions were conducted at 5 and 60% relative humidities or partial pressure of water vapor and at 0.04, 0.16 or 0.20 atm O₂ for temperatures between 20 and 50°C using a flow reactor and static flask reactors. In the presence of water vapor, the oxidation of SO₂ to sulfate was observed only when NH₃ was present. The product was primarily (NH₄)₂SO₄. Conversion of as much as 81% of the SO₂ to sulfate was observed after 10 min of reaction when the initial concentrations of SO₂ and NH₃ were 1 ppm and the relative humidity was 60%. Conversion was only 1–3% when NH₃ and/or water vapor were absent from the system. The surface of the reactor was found to influence the reaction by providing a place for a film of liquid water to form, and for the first several hours of reaction in the film, th e rate of sulfate formation was observed to be faster than oxidation in liquid water. In general, these results suggest that thin water films on environmental surfaces play a greater role in the deposition of atmospheric gases and the accumulation of their reaction products on surfaces than previously considered.     

准分子灯光照降解水相中烷基酚的动力学

准分子灯辐射的206 nm紫外光可以直接光解4-壬基酚(4-NP)和4-辛基酚(4-OP),但不能使之完全氧化为CO2.相同光照条件下,4-OP的去除率高于4-NP.采用拟一级动力学模型和修正的动力学模型对光解过程进行拟合,得到两种烷基酚206 nm直接光解的速率常数.结果表明,烷基酚初始浓度越低,光解速率常数越高.两种动力学模型对低浓度烷基酚直接光解都具有一定的适用性,但修正的模型不适合高浓度4-OP直接光解.UV/H2O2体系中,烷基酚的降解速率明显提高,但只有当H2O2加入量很高时,TOC去除才比较明显.最后,推导出4-OP直接光解的速率常数kd为0.0328 min-1,4-OP与H2O2反应的速率常数kpH为17.4520 L·(mol·min)-1.

Photoelectrochemical performance of birnessite films and photoelectrocatalytic activity toward oxidation of phenol

Birnessite films on fluorine-doped tin oxide(FTO) coated glass were prepared by cathodic reduction of aqueous KMnO_4. The deposited birnessite films were characterized with X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.The photoelectrochemical activity of birnessite films was investigated and a remarkable photocurrent in response to visible light was observed in the presence of phenol, resulting from localized manganese d–d transitions. Based on this result, the photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of phenol was investigated. Compared with phenol degradation by the electrochemical oxidation process or photocatalysis separately, a synergetic photoelectrocatalytic degradation effect was observed in the presence of the birnessite film coated FTO electrode.Photoelectrocatalytic degradation ratios were influenced by film thickness and initial phenol concentrations. Phenol degradation with the thinnest birnessite film and initial phenol concentration of 10 mg/L showed the highest efficiency of 91.4% after 8 hr. Meanwhile, the kinetics of phenol removal was fit well by the pseudofirst-order kinetic model.     

UV强化草酸络合Fe3+活化过硫酸盐氧化降解苯胺

采用UV-草酸络合Fe~(3+)[UV-Fe(C_2O_4)3-3]活化过硫酸钠(PS)氧化降解苯胺,研究了Fe(C_2O_4)3-3浓度,PS浓度,pH对PS活化效率及苯胺氧化降解效果的影响机制.结果表明,Fe(C_2O_4)3-3浓度和pH决定了UV-Fe(C_2O_4)3-3体系中Fe~(3+)向Fe2+的转化过程,并对活化PS氧化降解苯胺产生显著影响.随着Fe(C_2O_4)3-3浓度增加,PS的分解率不断提高,但当浓度高于0.75 mmol·L~(-1)时,草酸根离子(C2O_2-4)对硫酸根自由基(SO·-4)的竞争以及SO·-4之间的相互淬灭作用降低了苯胺的降解效果,降解速率大小顺序为5 mmol·L~(-1)0.25 mmol·L~(-1)0.5 mmol·L~(-1)1 mmol·L~(-1)0.75 mmol·L~(-1);中性和碱性条件不利于Fe(C_2O_4)3-3发生光化学反应生成Fe2+,但当初始pH为7和9时,由于PS活化分解过程降低反应体系pH,反应300min时PS的活化率可分别达到74%和67%,苯胺去除率分别高达91%和97%,均高于初始pH为酸性条件下的结果;苯胺降解率随初始PS浓度增加而增大,当PS浓度大于10 mmol·L~(-1)时,苯胺降解过程由二级反应变为准一级反应,但此时过量的PS因与SO·-4发生反应而显著降低PS用于氧化降解苯胺的利用率.

Enhanced photoelectrocatalytic degradation of ammonia by in situ photoelectrogenerated active chlorine on TiO2 nanotube electrodes

TiO_2 nanotube(Ti NT) electrodes anodized in fluorinated organic solutions were successfully prepared on Ti sheets. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) were performed to characterize the TiNT electrodes. The linear voltammetry results under irradiation showed that the TiNT electrode annealed at 450°C presented the highest photoelectrochemical activity. By combining photocatalytic with electrochemical process, a significantly synergetic effect on ammonia degradation was observed with Na_2SO_4 as supporting electrolyte at pH 10.7. Furthermore, the photoelectrocatalytic efficiency on the ammonia degradation was greatly enhanced in presence of chloride ions without the limitation of pH. The degradation rate was improved by 14.8 times reaching 4.98 × 10~(-2) min~(-1) at pH 10.7 and a faster degradation rate of 6.34 × 10~(-2) min~(-1)was obtained at pH 3.01. The in situ photoelectrocatalytic generated active chlorine was proposed to be responsible for the improved efficiency. On the other hand, an enhanced degradation of ammonia using TiNT electrode fabricated in fluorinated organic solution was also confirmed compared to TiNT electrode anodized in fluorinated water solution and TiO_2 film electrode fabricated by sol–gel method. Finally, the effect of chloride concentration was also discussed.

Sulfur evolution in chemical looping combustion of coal with MnFe2O4 oxygen carrier

Chemical looping combustion （CLC） of coal has gained increasing attention as a novel combustion technology for its advantages in CO2 capture. Sulfur evolution from coal causes great harm from either the CLC operational or environmental perspective. In this research, a combined MnFe2O4 oxygen carrier （OC） was synthesized and its reaction with a typical Chinese high sulfur coal, Liuzhi （LZ） bituminous coal, was performed in a thermogravimetric analyzer （TGA）-Fourier transform infrared （FT-IR） spectrometer. Evolution of sulfur species during reaction of LZ coal with MnFeaO40C was systematically investigated through experimental means combined with thermodynamic simulation. TGA-FTIR analysis of the LZ reaction with MnFe2O4 indicated MnFe2O4 exhibited the desired superior reactivity compared to the single reference oxides Mn304 or Fe203, and SO2 produced was mainly related to oxidization of H2S by MnFe2O4. Experimental analysis of the LZ coal reaction with MnFe2O4, including X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, verified that the main reduced counterparts of MnFe2O4 were Fe304 and MnO, in good agreement with the related thermodynamic simulation. The obtained MnO was beneficial to stabilize the reduced MnFe2O4 and avoid serious sintering, although the oxygen in MnO was not fully utilized. Meanwhile, most sulfur present in LZ coal was converted to solid MnS during LZ reaction with MnFe2O4, which was further oxidized to MnSO4. Finally, the formation of both MnS and such manganese silicates as Mn2SiO4 and MnSiO3 should be addressed to ensure the full regeneration of the reduced MnFe2O4.
