Production and contribution of hydroxyl radicals between the DSA anode and water interface

Hydroxyl radicals play the key role during electrochemical oxidation and photoelectrochemical oxidation. The production and e ect of hydroxyl radicals on the interface between DSA anode and water was investigated by examining the quenching e ect of iso-propanol on Orange II decolorization. We observed that with an increase in electrode potential from 4 to 12 V across electrodes at pH 7.0, the contribution percentage of hydroxyl radicals increased dramatically. More OH radicals were produced in acidic and alkaline conditions than at neutral conditions. At electrode potential of 4 V, the contribution percentage of hydroxyl radicals was obviously higher at near neutral pH conditions, while removal e ciency of Orange II achieved was the lowest concurrently. Finally, for photocatalytic oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, and photoelectrochemical oxidation using the same DSA electrode, the e ect of hydroxyl radicals proved to be dominant in photocatalytic oxidation but the contribution of hydroxyl radicals was not dominant in electrochemical oxidation, which implies the necessity of UV irradiation for electrochemical oxidation during water treatment.     

稀土铒掺杂TiO_2光催化剂的吸附和光催化活性研究

通过溶胶-凝胶法成功的制备了一系列Er3+掺杂的TiO2光催化剂,并通过XRD、DRS对催化剂进行了表征,结果表明所制催化剂为锐钛矿型,Er3+的掺杂有利于抑制晶粒生长,提高晶体的热稳定性。紫外-可见吸收(DRS)光谱证实,Er3+的掺杂增强了催化剂在可见光区域的吸收能力。吸附实验结果表明,Er3+的掺杂显著提高了橙黄I在TiO2催化剂表面的吸附能力,随掺杂量增加,吸附增强。活性实验结果表明,Er3+的掺杂显著提高了TiO2的光催化活性,最佳掺杂量为1.5%。

Enhanced Co-Metabolism of TCDD in the Presence of High Concentrations of Phenoxy Herbicides

Chemical residue studies were conducted from 1977-1987 on sites where spills of Agent Orange had occurred in the Herbicide Storage Sites at the Naval Construction Battalion Center, Gulfport, Mississippi, and on Johnston Island, Central Pacific Ocean. The soil persistence time of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) was significantly decreased when in the presence of massive amounts of phenoxy herbicides (> 62,000 microg of herbicide/g of soil). Although microbial populations doubled in the most highly contaminated sites, fungal species diversity decreased. The dominant fungal species that appeared to be associated with the metabolism of the residues were of the genera Penicillium, Mucor, and Fusarium. TCDD level decreased from a mean high of 180 ng/g (ppb) to less than 1 ng/g of soil over a ten-year period.
