Filtrates with Hydroxyl Radicals Prepared using Al + Acid + H₂O₂ for Removing Organic Pollutants.

ABSTRACT: In this work, for the first time, high-activity filtrates were prepared by the reaction of aluminum (Al) powder with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in acidic solution and then filtration, which were used to degrade various organic pollutants such as phenol, methyl orange, and bisphenol A. It was found that the filtrates can effectively degrade and mineralize various organic pollutants and have a high efficiency comparable to their parent Al + acid + H₂O₂ suspensions. The filtrates can keep their high activity for several weeks under ambient conditions, and the activity depends on their initial pH value. At a pH value of ∼3.5, the reaction activity of filtrates is the best. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) analyses indicated that there is a large quantity of stable hydroxyl radicals (OH^•) existing in the filtrates, which are responsible for the removal of organic pollutants. Furthermore, the related factors are discussed.

Project description:The antioxidant therapy to preserve residual hearing is relatively recent, and the search for effective antioxidants is still ongoing. Though nanoceria has shown promising radical-scavenging capability, improving its antioxidant ability and the dispersion stability of its nanofluid, which is critical to the desired site, i.e., cochlea, still remains a major challenge. The objective of the present work is to study the radical-scavenging capability of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-coated CeO2 and Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 nanoparticles in water and the biologically relevant fluid (PBS buffer). Nanoparticles in the size range of 4.0-9.0 nm are synthesized using the coprecipitation method and characterized using suitable techniques. The scavenging and dispersion stability of the synthesized nanofluid are analyzed using a UV-vis spectrophotometer. It is found that the addition of PEG during the synthesis process promoted the generation of finer nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution and the doping of zirconium produced a large number of defects in the crystallite structure. The PEG coating over the nanoparticles improved the dispersion stability of nanofluids without affecting their surface reactivity, and it is found to be 94 and 80% in water and PBS, respectively, at 500 μM and 60 min, which is maintained till 90 min. The highest scavenging of hydroxyl radicals by PEG-coated Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 is found to be 60%, which is significantly superior to that of CeO2. The scavenging capability is found to be increased with the concentration of nanoparticles, showing the best scavenging activity at 190 and 150 μM for PEG-coated CeO2 and Ce0.5Zr0.5O2, respectively, and the scavenging in water is at par with that of PBS, indicating that these nanoparticles are suitable to be used in sites where a biologically relevant fluid is present, e.g., the cochlea. It is proposed that PEG-coated Ce0.5Zr0.5O2 having an average size of ∼ 4 nm can be a potential antioxidant in relevant biomedical applications.
