Novel Magnetic Fe₃O₄/α-FeOOH Nanocomposites and Their Enhanced Mechanism for Tetracycline Hydrochloride Removal in the Visible Photo-Fenton Process.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic Fe₃O₄/α-FeOOH heterojunction nanocomposites (denoted as Fe-NCs) have been synthesized by a fast one-pot hydrothermal method. The obtained Fe-NCs contain rich micropores with a high surface area of 135.15 m²/g. The different phases in the composites can efficiently enhance the visible-light absorption, improving the separation and transfer of photogenerated electron-hole pairs during the photocatalytic reaction. Thus, they show excellent degradation and mineralization of tetracycline (TC) over a wide pH range (5-9) in the visible photo-Fenton reaction. Especially, the catalyst exhibits the highest adsorption capacity toward TC at a neutral pH, which facilitates the surface reactions of TC with active species. Experiments evidence that the high production of photogenerated holes and superoxide radicals (O₂ ^•-) in Fe-NCs are favorable to the high catalytic efficiency. Combined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, the possible pathway toward TC degradation was proposed.

Degradation of Tetracycline Hydrochloride by Cu-Doped MIL-101(Fe) Loaded Diatomite Heterogeneous Fenton Catalyst.

Project description:In this work, the combination of high surface area diatomite with Fe and Cu bimetallic MOF material catalysts (Fe0.25Cu0.75(BDC)@DE) were synthesized by traditional solvothermal method, and exhibited efficient degradation performance to tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). The degradation results showed: Within 120 min, about 93% of TC was degraded under the optimal conditions. From the physical-chemical characterization, it can be seen that Fe and Cu play crucial roles in the reduction of Fe3+ because of their synergistic effect. The synergistic effect can not only increase the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH), but also improve the degradation efficiency of TC. The Lewis acid property of Cu achieved the pH range of reaction system has been expanded, and it made the material degrade well under both neutral and acidic conditions. Loading into diatomite can reduce agglomeration and metal ion leaching, thus the novel catalysts exhibited low metal ion leaching. This catalyst has good structural stability, and less loss of performance after five reaction cycles, and the degradation efficiency of the material still reached 81.8%. High performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze the degradation intermediates of TC, it provided a deep insight of the mechanism and degradation pathway of TC by bimetallic MOFs. This allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the catalytic mechanism and degradation pathway of TC degradation by bimetallic MOFS catalysts. This work has not only achieved important progress in developing high-performance catalysts for TC degradation, but has also provided useful information for the development of MOF-based catalysts for rapid environmental remediation.

Ultrasound-Assisted Removal of Tetracycline by a Fe/N-C Hybrids/H2O2 Fenton-like System.

Project description:In this work, the degradation of tetracycline (TC) in water by the integrated ultrasound (US)-Fenton process was investigated. For this, a new composite Fe/N-C-x (x is the molar ratio of iron salt Fe(NO3)3·9H2O) catalyst was synthesized through simple carbonization of the mixture of glucose and iron salt Fe(NO3)3·9H2O in the presence of ammonium chloride as the nitrogen source. The resultant catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and N2 adsorption-desorption, showing a typical graphite porous structure and good magnetic properties. The results indicated that the optimized Fe/N-C-2 catalyst prepared with a mole ratio of glucose/Fe(NO3)3·9H2O/NH4Cl of 5:2:16.8 exhibited the highest TC removal in the Fe/N-C-2/H2O2/US system at a wide pH range from 3.0 to 11.0. At an initial pH of 7.0, TC removal in the Fe/N-C-2/H2O2/TC/US system was 1.83, 18.69, and 28.75 times of that in Fe/N-C-2/TC/H2O2, H2O2/TC/US, and TC/H2O2 systems, showing a positive synergistic action between US and Fe/N-C-2. The effects of catalyst dosage, H2O2 concentration, ultrasonic power, humic acid, and coexisting anions on TC removal were investigated. The preliminary analysis suggested that the Fe-N species and the graphite N dispersed in the carbon matrix are responsible for the efficient catalytic activity. By a simple magnetic separation, the Fe/N-C-2 catalyst was easily recovered and used for the next degradation experiment. Above 88% catalytic ability of Fe/N-C-2 was retained even after six successive runs, suggesting its good reusability. The simple preparation strategy, good magnetic property, and good catalytic ability of the Fe/N-C-2 materials make them promising alternative Fenton-like catalysts for the antibiotics abatement in water.

Visible-light-induced photo-Fenton process for the facile degradation of metronidazole by Fe/Si codoped TiO2.

Project description:This work investigated the feasibility and efficiency of a heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst, Fe/Si codoped TiO2, for the degradation of metronidazole (MNZ) under visible light irradiation. The Fe/Si codoped TiO2 was prepared via a facile and simple sol-gel solvothermal process followed by annealing at 480 °C for 4 hours. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements revealed that the photo-Fenton process did not change the structure, textural and surface morphologies of this catalyst. Elemental mapping results indicated the good dispersion of Fe and Si ions in TiO2. Nitrogen adsorption and desorption measurements indicated that Si doping increased the surface area of the catalysts. The Fe and Si doping narrowed the band gap of TiO2. They also facilitated the transfer of photo-generated electrons from TiO2 to Fe(iii). Under visible light irradiation and the optimum operating conditions, MNZ could be completely degraded in 50 min by this catalyst within a wide pH range. Hydroxyl radicals and holes were verified to be responsible for degrading MNZ. The leaching of iron ions was less than 0.047 ppm even after illuminating the catalyst for 6 hours, indicating the good stability of the Fe/Si codoped TiO2. The as-prepared catalysts with excellent catalytic activity, and remarkable reusability and stability could provide a new insight into the preparation of photocatalysts and have wide applications for antibiotics removal.

Fabrication and Characterization of Co-Doped Fe2O3 Spindles for the Enhanced Photo-Fenton Catalytic Degradation of Tetracycline.

Project description:Co-doped Fe2O3 spindles with different Co contents were successfully fabricated by a facile one-step hydrothermal method. The crystalline structure, morphology, optical properties, and chemical state of the as-prepared catalysts before and after photo-Fenton reaction were characterized. Co2+ incorporated into the Fe2O3 lattice was confirmed by the above characterizations. Also, the photocatalytic and photo-Fenton catalytic performances of the samples were evaluated by the degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation in the absence/presence of H2O2. The results demonstrated that Co-doped Fe2O3 spindles exhibited better catalytic degradation performance in comparison with single Fe2O3 spindles, and the sample of Co(5%)-Fe2O3 spindles displayed the highest activity and best stability. The improvement of photo-Fenton activity might be attributed to two reasons: On the one hand, Co-doped Fe2O3 spindles not only formed the Fe vacancies to reduce the band gap but also could build up an internal electric field, which inhibits electron/hole pair recombination and facilitates the transfer of photoexcited charge carriers. On the other hand, the intrinsic Co2+/Co3+ redox cycling can accelerate the circulation between Fe2+ and Fe3+ in Co(5%)-Fe2O3 spindles to facilitate H2O2 consumption and produce more ·OH radicals for TC degradation.

Synthesis of MgAC-Fe3O4/TiO2 hybrid nanocomposites via sol-gel chemistry for water treatment by photo-Fenton and photocatalytic reactions.

Project description:MgAC-Fe3O4/TiO2 hybrid nanocomposites were synthesized in different ratios of MgAC-Fe3O4 and TiO2 precursor. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), electron spin resonance spectrometry (ESR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), photoluminescence (PL), and UV photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) were used to characterize the nanocomposites. The increase of MgAC-Fe3O4, in the hybrid nanocomposites' core-shell structure, led to the decrease of anatase TiO2 peaks, thus reducing the photo-Fenton and photocatalytic activities. According to the obtained data, MgAC-Fe3O4 [0.05 g]/TiO2 showed the best photo-Fenton and photocatalytic activities, having removed ~93% of MB (photo-Fenton reaction) and ~80% of phenol (photocatalytic reaction) after 20 and 80 mins, respectively. On the pilot scale (30 L), MgAC-Fe3O4 [0.05 g]/TiO2 was completely removed after 27 and 30 hours by the photo-Fenton and photocatalytic activities, respectively. The synergistic effect gained from the combined photo-Fenton and photocatalytic activities of Fe3O4 and TiO2, respectively, was credited for the performances of the MgAC-Fe3O4/TiO2 hybrid nanocomposites.

Enhancing Removal of Pollutants by Combining Photocatalysis and Photo-Fenton Using Co, Fe-Doped Titanate Nanowires.

Project description:Aiming to improve their photocatalytic performance, titanate nanowires (TNW) were modified by Fe and Co (co)-doping, FeTNW, CoTNW and CoFeTNW samples, using a hydrothermal methodology. XRD characterization agrees with the existence of Fe and Co in the lattice structure.and the existence of Co2+ together with the presence of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in the structure was confirmed by XPS. The optical characterization of the modified powders shows the impact of the d-d transitions of both metals in the absorption properties of TNW, mainly in the creation of additional 3d energetic levels within the prohibited zone. The effect of the doping metal(s) in the recombination rate of photo-generated charge carriers suggests a higher impact of Fe presence when compared to Co. The photocatalytic characterization of the prepared samples was evaluated via the removal of acetaminophen. Furthermore, a mixture containing both acetaminophen and caffeine, a well-known commercial combination, was also tested. CoFeTNW sample was the best photocatalyst for the degradation of acetaminophen in both situations. A mechanism for the photo-activation of the modified semiconductor is discussed and a model proposed. It was concluded that both Co and Fe are essential, within the TNW structure, for the successful removal of acetaminophen and caffeine.

Magnetically recyclable spherical Cu2O@Fe3O4 S-scheme heterojunction for efficient tetracycline removal via visible light-activated peroxydisulfate.

Project description:The overuse of antibiotics in treating bacterial infections is a significant threat to the environment and human health. The utilization of visible-light-assisted peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation for eliminating organic pollutants is a promising approach. This study uses a straightforward hydrothermal method to prepare magnetically recyclable spherical Cu2O@Fe3O4. The efficacy of this material in removing antibiotic pollutants was assessed using simulated wastewater containing tetracycline (TC). TC removal was achieved by activating PDS with Cu2O@Fe3O4 as the visible light photocatalyst. Experimental findings revealed that under specific conditions-a pH of 9, a Cu2O@Fe3O4 concentration of 60 mg L-1, and a PDS concentration of 25 mg L-1-the removal rate of TC reached 97.67% after 30 min of irradiation. Moreover, Cu2O@Fe3O4 exhibited excellent recyclability, maintaining a removal rate of 93.33% after five recycling rounds. X-ray diffraction characterization of the Cu2O@Fe3O4 composite before and after cycling confirmed its robust stability and reusability. In situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that electrons migrated from Fe3O4 to Cu2O during the photocatalytic reaction, indicating the formation of an S-type heterojunction in Cu2O@Fe3O4. Free radical trapping experiments demonstrated the active involvement of ·OH, ·O2 -, SO4˙- and h+ radicals in TC removal.

Efficient Adsorption-Photocatalytic Removal of Tetracycline Hydrochloride over Octahedral MnS.

Project description:To disclose the effect of crystal plane on the adsorption-photocatalytic activity of MnS, octahedral MnS was prepared via the hydrothermal route to enhance the adsorption and photocatalytic efficiencies of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in visible light region. The optimal MnS treated at 433 K for 16 h could remove 94.83% TCH solution of 260 mg L-1 within 180 min, and its adsorption-photocatalytic efficiency declined to 89.68% after five cycles. Its excellent adsorption-photocatalytic activity and durability were ascribed to the sufficient vacant sites of octahedral structure for TCH adsorption and the feasible band-gap structure for visible-light response. In addition, the band gap structure (1.37 eV) of MnS with a conduction band value of -0.58 eV and a valence band value of 0.79 eV was favorable for the generation of O2-, while unsuitable for the formation of OH. Hence, octahedral MnS was a potential material for the removal of antibiotics from wastewater.

Construction of flower-like MoS2/Fe3O4/rGO composite with enhanced photo-Fenton like catalyst performance.

Project description:High-performance and recyclable photocatalysts have attracted considerable amounts of attention for use in wastewater treatment. In this paper, a MoS2/Fe3O4/rGO (0.1 wt%) composite was synthesized by an environmentally-friendly and facile strategy, and showed high potential for recyclability. The nanocomposite exhibited high photocatalytic activity in the presence of H2O2 and rGO (reduced graphene oxide) under visible-light irradiation. Notably, when 3 mg of MoS2/Fe3O4/rGO (0.1 wt%) was added to rhodamine B (RhB, 30 mg L-1) solution, the degradation rate was almost 100% within 40 min at neutral pH under visible-light irradiation. This rate was four times more rapid than that of MoS2 and double that of MoS2/Fe3O4. The results indicate that rGO plays an important role in photocatalysis by suppressing the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and enhancing the absorption capability of visible-light and organic dyes. Finally, the photocatalytic and stability mechanisms of MoS2/Fe3O4/rGO (0.1 wt%) are proposed. This work further helps our understanding of the photo-Fenton mechanism. Furthermore, the synthesis of this composite has potential for application in energy storage devices.

Photo-Fenton Process over an Fe-Free 3%-CuO/Sr0.76Ce0.16WO4 Photocatalyst under Simulated Sunlight.

Project description:Photo-Fenton is a promising photocatalytic technology that utilizes sunlight. Herein, an Fe-free 3%-CuO/Sr0.76Ce0.16WO4 photocatalyst was synthesized to apply simulated wastewater degradation via a photo-Fenton process under simulated sunlight. The photodegradation efficiency of RhB solution over the 3%-CuO/Sr0.76Ce0.16WO4 photocatalyst is 93.2% in the first 3 h; its photocatalytic efficiency remains at 91.6% even after three cycle experiments. The kinetic constant of the 3%-CuO/Sr0.76Ce0.16WO4 photocatalyst is 0.0127 min-1, which is 2.8-fold that of an intrinsic Sr0.76Ce0.16WO4 sample. The experiment of radical quenching revealed that the photogenerated electrons and holes are transferred to CuO to form hydroxyl radicals. Besides, the photocatalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. It has some reference significance for the design of iron-free photocatalysts.
