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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Adsorption and photo-Fenton catalytic degradation of organic dyes over crystalline LaFeO3-doped porous silica.

Project description:LaFeO3 (LFO)-doped mesoporous silica (HPS) (HPS-xLFO with theoretical LFO/silica molar ratio x = 0.075, 0.15, 0.3) was successfully prepared via impregnation of metal ions into the porous silica HPS-0LFO support and subsequent calcination. The characterization studies suggest that increasing the doping of LFO, which exhibited a particle size of ∼10-15 nm, in the silica support led to a reduction in surface area and bandgap of the resulting catalyst. The use of HPS-0.15LFO yielded a superior removal rate (98.9%) of Rhodamine B (RhB), thanks to the effective dark adsorption and visible light-induced photo-Fenton degradation, both of which were greater than those of pure LFO crystals. This enhancement could be explained by the unique properties of the mesoporous silica support. In particular, the wide-opening mesopores created a large surface area to dope LFO as active sites and minimize diffusion of RhB into pores during the photo-Fenton reaction. The photo-Fenton catalytic degradation of RhB could reach 98.6% within 90 min exposure to visible light irradiation under optimized conditions: RhB concentration = 10 mg L-1, catalyst dosage = 1 g L-1, pH = 6 and H2O2 = 15 mM. Moreover, the recycle and reuse test proved the good stability and repetitive use of HPS-0.15LFO for high performance RhB removal.

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.

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.

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

Project description: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.

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.

A type II heterojunction α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4 for the heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of phenol.

Project description:The heterogeneous photo-Fenton reaction is an effective method of chemical oxidation to remove phenol in wastewater with environmental friendliness and sustainability. Herein, the composite α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4, as a catalyst of the heterogeneous photo-Fenton reaction, has been synthesized by hydrothermal-calcination method using the abundant and low-cost FeCl3·6H2O and g-C3N4 as raw materials. The influence of the annealing temperature during calcination was also investigated. The UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra of samples show that the composite α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4 possesses the widest light response range. Furthermore, the transient photocurrent response curves demonstrated the strongest intensity of α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4. The annealed α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4 is indicative of the highest degradation efficiency in all samples due to the improvement of the charge transfer ability caused by the tight heterojunction structure. The results of the scavenger trapping experiments show that the hydroxyl radical was the main active species in degradation. Based on experimental results, a type II heterojunction should be built in the composite α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4, driving the photoelectrons transfer and migration by internal electronic field. This work provides a facile and new method to synthesize α-Fe2O3/g-C3N4 as an effective heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst for environmental remediation.

Fe-Cu Doped Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Fenton-like Degradation of Paracetamol Under Mild Conditions.

Project description:A series of carbon nanotubes doped with Fe and/or Cu, Fe100?xCux/CNT (x = 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100) has been prepared by an easy method of wetness impregnation of commercial multiwalled carbon nanotubes previously oxidized with nitric acid. The wide characterization of the solids by different techniques demonstrates that the incorporation of Fe and Cu to the CNTs has been successfully produced. Fe100-xCux/CNT samples were tested as catalysts in the removal of paracetamol from aqueous solution by a combined process of adsorption and Fenton-like oxidation. Under mild conditions, 25 °C and natural pH of solution, i.e., nearly neutral, values of oxidation of paracetamol between 90.2% and 98.3% were achieved after 5 h of reaction in most of cases. Furthermore, with the samples containing higher amounts of copper, i.e., Cu100/CNT and Fe25Cu75/CNT, only 2 h were necessary to produce depletion values of 73.2% and 87.8%, respectively. The influence of pH and dosage of H2O2 on the performance has also been studied. A synergic effect between both Cu+/Cu2+ and Fe2+/Fe3+ in Fenton-like reaction was observed. These results demonstrate that Fe100-xCux/CNT are powerful Fenton-like catalyst for degradation of paracetamol from aqueous solution and they could be extended to the removal of other organic pollutants.

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.

Study on the behavior and mechanism of NiFe-LDHs used for the degradation of tetracycline in the photo-Fenton process.

Project description:An environment-friendly 3D NiFe-LDHs photocatalyst was fabricated via a simple hydrothermal method and characterized by means of SEM, XRD, BET, XPS and FT-IR. It is a highly efficient heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst for the degradation of TC-HCl under visible light irradiation. After exploring the effects of catalyst dosage, initial concentration of TC-HCl, solution pH and H2O2 concentrations, the optimal reaction conditions were determined. The experiment results showed that the degradation efficiency can reach 99.11% through adding H2O2 to constitute a photo-Fenton system after adsorption for 30 min and visible light for 60 min. After four cycles, the degradation rate decay is controlled within 21.2%, indicating that NiFe-LDHs have excellent reusable performance. The experimental results of environmental factors indicate that Fe2+ and Ca2+ promoted the degradation of TC-HCl, both Cl- and CO32- inhibited the degradation of TC-HCl. Two other antibiotics (OTC and FT) were selected for research and found to be effectively removed in this system, achieving effective degradation of a variety of typical new pollutants. The radical trapping tests and ESR detection showed that ·OH and ·O2- were the main active substances for TC degradation in the photo-Fenton system. By further measuring the intermediate products of photodegradation, the degradation pathway of TC-HCl was inferred. The toxicity analysis demonstrated that the overall toxicity of the identified intermediates was reduced in this system. This study provides a theoretical and practical basis for the removal of TC in aquatic environments.

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.
