Mechanism of decolorization and degradation of CI Direct Red 23 by ozonation combined with sonolysis

The decolorization and degradation of CI Direct Red 23, which is suspected to be carcinogenic, were investigated using ozonation combined with sonolysis. The results showed that the combination of ozonation and sonolysis was a highly effective way to remove color from waste water. The operational parameters, namely concentration of the dye, pH, ozone dose and ultrasonic density, were investigated during the process. The decolorization of the dye followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. Increasing the initial concentration of Direct Red 23 led to a decreasing rate constant. The optimum pH for the reaction was 8.0, and both lower and higher pH decreased the removal rate. The effect of the ozone dose on the dye decolorization was much greater than that of the sonolysis density. Intermediates such as naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid, 1-naphthol, urea and acetamide were detected by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry in the absence of pH buffer, while nitrate and sulfate ions and formic, acetic and oxalic acids were detected by ion chromatography. A tentative degradation pathway was proposed without any further quantitative analyses. During the degradation, all nitrogen atoms and phenyl groups of Direct Red 23 were degraded into urea, nitrate ion, nitrogen and formic, acetic and oxalic acids, etc.

Photocatalytic activity of TiO2 containing anatase nanoparticles and rutile nanoflower structure consisting of nanorods

A series of TiO2 with different crystal phases and morphologies was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process using titanium nbutoxide and concentrated hydrochloric acid as raw materials. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by degradation of Methyl Orange in aqueous solution under UV-Visible light irradiation. On the basis of detailed analysis of the characterizing results of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurement, it was concluded that the photo-activity of the catalyst is related directly to the 3D morphology and the crystal phase composition. An excellent catalyst should have both a futile 3D flower-like structure and anatase granulous particles. The 3D flower-like structure could enhance light harvesting, as well as the transfer of reactant molecules from bulk solution to the reactive sites on TiO2. In addition, the optimum anatase/rutile phase ratio was found to be 80：20, which is beneficial to the effective separation of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs.

Mineralization of C.I. Reactive Yellow 84 in aqueous solution by sonolytic ozonation

The operational parameters and mechanism of mineralization of C.I. Reactive Yellow 84 (RY84), one of the azo dyes, in aqueous solution were investigated using sonolytic ozonation (US/O(3) oxidation). Of the pseudo-first-order degradation rate constants of TOC reduction, 9.0 x 10(-4), 7.3 x 10(-3) and 1.8 x 10(-2)min(-1) were observed with US, O3, and a combination of US and O3, respectively. These results illustrate that ozonation combined with sonolysis for removal of TOC is more efficient than ozonation alone or ultrasonic irradiation alone without considering the operating costs. With the initial pH value at 10.0, the ozone dose at 4.5 g h(-1), the energy density of ultrasound at 176 W l(-1), and the initial concentration of RY84 at 100 mg l(-1), the extent of mineralization measured as TOC loss was maximized. The variation of the concentrations of related ions (oxalate, formate, acetate, NO3(-), NO2(-), NH4(+), Cl(-), and SO4(2-)) during the reaction process was monitored. Other organic intermediates detected by GC/MS were N-methyleneaniline, phthalic acid, 4-hydroxyphthalic acid, isocyanatobenzene, aniline, 4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-one, butene diacid and urea. Based on these findings, a tentative degradation pathway was proposed.

可见光响应的碘掺杂TiO2光催化剂的制备及其作用机理

以钛酸四丁酯为前驱物制备了碘掺杂TiO2催化剂(I-TiO2),考察了碘掺杂量、水解水量、水解温度和煅烧温度对催化剂物理化学性质与光催化活性的影响。X射线衍射(XRD)结果显示,I-TiO2由锐钛矿相和金红石相组成。在可见光照射下,通过降解水溶液中的苯酚评价了I-TiO2催化剂的光催化性能。结果表明,在水解温度为20℃,水解水量为300 mL,煅烧温度为400℃,碘钛比(摩尔比)为20%的制备条件下,催化剂显示了最优的光催化活性。通过向反应体系中引入自由基捕获剂及降低溶解氧,证实光催化降解苯酚主要由光生空穴或吸附的羟基自由基引发。

河西绿洲灌区玉米秸秆带膜还田腐解特征研究

为探讨河西绿洲灌区玉米秸秆带膜还田时的腐解规律,采用尼龙网袋法,对不同带膜还田模式下玉米秸秆的腐解特征进行研究,旨为当地玉米秸秆还田提供理论依据和技术指导。结果表明：土壤温度是影响当地玉米秸秆腐解的主要因素,经过180 d腐解后,各还田处理秸秆的腐解率均在50%以上,其中翻压处理的腐解率（67.5%～76.0%）高于覆盖处理（50.5%～59.0%）,而且腐解主要发生在还田后的30～120 d。秸秆在还田前期（前60 d）会与作物争夺土壤氮素,但是在还田后期会释放一定氮素,而且翻压和粉碎还田释放的氮素要高于覆盖和整株还田。从秸秆完全腐解的预测时间看,整株半量翻压、整株半量覆盖、粉碎半量翻压、粉碎全量翻压、粉碎半量覆盖和粉碎全量覆盖处理分别需要247、326、212、227、277和299 d才能完全腐解,可见,在河西绿洲灌区实行带膜还田前景广阔,而且翻压优于覆盖,粉碎优于整株,半量优于全量。
