Rapid Photodegradation of Methyl Orange (MO) Assisted with Cu(II) and Tartaric Acid.

ABSTRACT: Cu(II) and organic carboxylic acids, existing extensively in soil and aquatic environments, can form complexes that may play an important role in the photodegradation of organic contaminants. In this paper, the catalytic role of Cu(II) in the removal of methyl orange (MO) in the presence of tartaric acid with light was investigated through batch experiments. The results demonstrate that the introduction of Cu(II) could markedly enhance the photodegradation of MO. In addition, high initial concentrations of Cu(II) and tartaric acid benefited the decomposition of MO. The most rapid removal of MO assisted by Cu(II) was achieved at pH 3. The formation of Cu(II)-tartaric acid complexes was assumed to be the key factor, generating hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and other oxidizing free radicals under irradiation through a ligand-to-metal charge-transfer pathway that was responsible for the efficient degradation of MO. Some intermediates in the reaction system were also detected to support this reaction mechanism.

Cu(II) Catalytic Reduction of Cr(VI) by Tartaric Acid Under the Irradiation of Simulated Solar Light.

Project description:Cu(II) catalytic reduction of Cr(VI) by tartaric acid under the irradiation of simulated solar light was investigated through batch experiments at pHs from 3 to 6 and at temperatures from 15°C to 35°C. Results demonstrated that introduction of Cu(II) could markedly improve reduction of Cr(VI) in comparison with tartaric acid alone. Optimal removal of Cr(VI) was achieved at pH 4. Reduction of Cr(VI) increased with increasing temperatures and initial concentrations of Cu(II) and tartaric acid. The catalytic role of Cu(II) in the reduction of Cr(VI) was ascribed to the formation of Cu(II)-tartaric acid complex, which generated active reductive intermediates, including Cu(I) and tartaric acid radicals through a pathway of metal-ligand-electron transfer with light. Cu(II) photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) by tartaric acid followed pseudo zero-order kinetics with regard to Cr(VI), and the activation energy was calculated to be 21.48?kJ/mol. To date, such a role of Cu(II) has not been reported. The results from the present study are helpful in fully understanding the photochemical reductive behavior of Cr(VI) in the presence of both tartaric acid and Cu(II) in soil and aquatic environments.

In Situ Hydrothermal Synthesis of Ni1−xMnxWO4 Nanoheterostructure for Enhanced Photodegradation of Methyl Orange

Project description:The monoclinic nanocrystalline Ni1−xMnxWO4 heterostructure has been successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal technique for achieving better sensitive and photocatalytic performances. Different characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV–Vis), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy have been employed to investigate their structural, microstructural, and optical properties. Mn-ion incorporation in the NiWO4 lattice reduces the particle size of the sample compared with the pure undoped NiWO4 sample, which has been confirmed from the transmission electron microscope image. The Tauc plot of the Ni1−xMnxWO4 sample exhibits a significant decrease in bandgap energy compared with the pure undoped NiWO4 sample due to the quantum confinement effect. Finally, the material was explored as a photocatalyst for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye from wastewater under visible light irradiation. Various reaction parameters such as pH, catalyst dose, reaction time, and kinetics of the photodegradation were studied using the batch method. The results showed that the Ni1−xMnxWO4 is highly efficient (94.51%) compared with undoped NiWO4 (65.45%). The rate of photodegradation by Ni1–xMnxWO4 (0.067) was found to be 1.06 times higher than the undoped NiWO4 (0.062).

A Laser-Induced Graphene-Titanium(IV) Oxide Composite for Adsorption Enhanced Photodegradation of Methyl Orange.

Project description:Numerous treatment methods such as biological digestion, chemical oxidation, and coagulation have been used to treat organic micropollutants. However, such wastewater treatment methods can be either inefficient, expensive, or environmentally unsound. Here, we embedded TiO2 nanoparticles in laser-induced graphene (LIG) and obtained a highly efficient photocatalyst composite with pollutant adsorption properties. TiO2 was added to LIG and lased to form a mixture of rutile and anatase TiO2 with a decreased band gap (2.90 ± 0.06 eV). The LIG/TiO2 composite adsorption and photodegradation properties were tested in solutions of a model pollutant, methyl orange (MO), and compared to the individual and mixed components. The adsorption capacity of the LIG/TiO2 composite was 92 mg/g using 80 mg/L MO, and together the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation resulted in 92.8% MO removal in 10 min. Adsorption enhanced photodegradation, and a synergy factor of 2.57 was seen. Understanding how LIG can modify metal oxide catalysts and how adsorption can enhance photocatalysis might lead to more effective pollutant removal and offer alternative treatment methods for polluted water.

A facile one-pot oxidation-assisted dealloying protocol to massively synthesize monolithic core-shell architectured nanoporous copper@cuprous oxide nanonetworks for photodegradation of methyl orange.

Project description:In this report, a facile and effective one-pot oxidation-assisted dealloying protocol has been developed to massively synthesize monolithic core-shell architectured nanoporous copper@cuprous oxide nanonetworks (C-S NPC@Cu2O NNs) by chemical dealloying of melt-spun Al 37 at.% Cu alloy in an oxygen-rich alkaline solution at room temperature, which possesses superior photocatalytic activity towards photodegradation of methyl orange (MO). The experimental results show that the as-prepared nanocomposite exhibits an open, bicontinuous interpenetrating ligament-pore structure with length scales of 20 ± 5 nm, in which the ligaments comprising Cu and Cu2O are typical of core-shell architecture with uniform shell thickness of ca. 3.5 nm. The photodegradation experiments of C-S NPC@Cu2O NNs show their superior photocatalytic activities for the MO degradation under visible light irradiation with degradation rate as high as 6.67 mg min-1 gcat-1, which is a diffusion-controlled kinetic process in essence in light of the good linear correlation between photodegradation ratio and square root of irradiation time. The excellent photocatalytic activity can be ascribed to the synergistic effects between unique core-shell architecture and 3D nanoporous network with high specific surface area and fast mass transfer channel, indicating that the C-S NPC@Cu2O NNs will be a promising candidate for photocatalysts of MO degradation.

Unveiling Five Naked Structures of Tartaric Acid.

Project description:The unbiased, naked structures of tartaric acid, one of the most important organic compounds existing in nature and a candidate to be present in the interstellar medium, has been revealed in this work for the first time. Solid samples of its naturally occurring (R,R) enantiomer have been vaporized by laser ablation, expanded in a supersonic jet, and characterized by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. In the isolation conditions of the jet, we have discovered up to five different structures stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen-bond networks dominated by O-H⋅⋅⋅O=C and O-H⋅⋅⋅O motifs extended along the entire molecule. These five forms, two with an extended (trans) disposition of the carbon chain and three with a bent (gauche) disposition, can serve as a basis to represent the shape of tartaric acid. This work also reports the first set of spectroscopy data that can be used to detect tartaric acid in the interstellar medium.

Recyclable Magnetic Iron Immobilized onto Chitosan with Bridging Cu Ion for the Enhanced Adsorption of Methyl Orange.

Project description:Chitosan (CS) is a natural and low-cost adsorbent for capturing metal ions and organic compounds. However, the high solubility of CS in acidic solution would make it difficult to recycle the adsorbent from the liquid phase. In this study, the CS/Fe3O4 was prepared via Fe3O4 nanoparticles immobilized onto a CS surface, and the DCS/Fe3O4-Cu was further fabricated after surface modification and the adsorption of Cu ions. The meticulously tailored material displayed the sub-micron size of an agglomerated structure with numerous magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles. During the adsorption of methyl orange (MO), the DCS/Fe3O4-Cu delivered a superior removal efficiency of 96.4% at 40 min, which is more than twice the removal efficiency of 38.7% for pristine CS/Fe3O4. At an initial MO concentration of 100 mg L-1, the DCS/Fe3O4-Cu exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity of 144.60 mg g-1. The experimental data were well explained by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm, suggesting the dominant monolayer adsorption. The composite adsorbent still maintained a large removal rate of 93.5% after five regeneration cycles. This work develops an effective strategy to simultaneously achieve high adsorption performance and convenient recyclability for wastewater treatment.

Straightforward Synthesis of Mn3O4/ZnO/Eu2O3-Based Ternary Heterostructure Nano-Photocatalyst and Its Application for the Photodegradation of Methyl Orange and Methylene Blue Dyes.

Project description:Zinc oxide-ternary heterostructure Mn3O4/ZnO/Eu2O3 nanocomposites were successfully prepared via waste curd as fuel by a facile one-pot combustion procedure. The fabricated heterostructures were characterized utilizing XRD, UV-Visible, FT-IR, FE-SEM, HRTEM and EDX analysis. The photocatalytic degradation efficacy of the synthesized ternary nanocomposite was evaluated utilizing model organic pollutants of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) in water as examples of cationic dyes and anionic dyes, respectively, under natural solar irradiation. The effect of various experimental factors, viz. the effect of a light source, catalyst dosage, irradiation time, pH of dye solution and dye concentration on the photodegradation activity, was systematically studied. The ternary Mn3O4/ZnO/Eu2O3 photocatalyst exhibited excellent MB and MO degradation activity of 98% and 96%, respectively, at 150 min under natural sunlight irradiation. Experiments further conclude that the fabricated nanocomposite exhibits pH-dependent photocatalytic efficacy, and for best results, concentrations of dye and catalysts have to be maintained in a specific range. The prepared photocatalysts are exemplary and could be employed for wastewater handling and several ecological applications.
