Application of sewage sludge biochar as an adsorbent for antibiotics treatment has obtained special attention owning to its low cost and surface functionality. Three metal ions were selected to modify sewage sludge biochar through the pyrolysis with the metal loaded method. Fe loaded sewage sludge biochar (BC-Fe), Al loaded sewage sludge biochar (BC-Al) and Mn loaded sewage sludge biochar (BC-Mn) were characterized and used to explore the performance of adsorbing tetracycline (TC), sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) and amoxicillin (AMC). BC-Fe, BC-Al and BC-Mn possessed rougher surfaces, larger specific surface area and better pore structure. Intra-particle diffusion and Langmuir models were more suitable to describe the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption amount of TC, SMZ and AMC could reach 123.35, 99.01 and 109.89 mg/g by BC-Fe. Furthermore, the main mechanism of antibiotics adsorption by metal loaded sewage sludge biochars might be pores filling, Van der Waals forces and H-bonding. The study can not only solve the problems associated with the pollution of antibiotics from wastewater, but also reduced the treatment pressure of sewage sludge effectively. Modification enhanced the microcellular structure and promoted the degree of carbonization. Compared with biochar, metal loaded sewage sludge biochar exhibited better adsorption capacity. Fe ion was demonstrated to be the optimal modified material. Metal loaded sewage sludge biochars avoided the risk of polluting the environment.

For the efficient disposal of organic pollutants and Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) in water, Ag-loaded and Pd-loaded ZnO nanofibers (NFs) were prepared through electrospinning (e-spin), followed by the alcohol-thermal method. The NFs were prepared in membrane form to promote their separation, recovery, and reuse in practical applications. The complete decolorizations of three types of dyes (i.e., azo, triarylmethane, and heterocyclic dyes) were observed when the Ag-loaded or Pd-loaded ZnO nanofiber membrane (NFM) was first applied as photocatalyst under 30-min UV irradiation. The characterization of the catalysts and the decolorization performance of dyes both demonstrated that the optimal loading rates of Ag and Pd were 12% and 6%, respectively. Moreover, the 12%-Ag/ZnO NFM displayed excellent recyclability over five cycles than the 6%-Pd/ZnO NFM. The E. coli disinfection test demonstrated that the photocatalytic inactivation rates with the 12%-Pd/ZnO NFM and the 6%-Ag/ZnO NFM were significantly improved under solar or UV irradiation, and hydroxyl radicals (∙OH) was primarily responsible for the antibacterial performance. Therefore, the presented 12%-Ag/ZnO NFM and 6%-Pd/ZnO NFM can be used for the efficient photocatalytic treatment of dyes and E. coli in water.

For the treatment of 2-naphthol wastewater, the homogeneous electro-Fenton process was considered as an effective method but some disadvantages greatly restrict its application. The three-dimensional electro-Fenton (3D-EF) system using a nano zero-valent iron-supported biochar (NZVIs-BC) particle electrode and a Cu-supported stainless steel electrode (Cu-SSE) was proposed to avoid the disadvantages of the homogeneous electro-Fenton. In this work, the 3D-EF system was developed, which consisted of a Cu-SSE (cathode), a graphite rod (anode) and a NZVIs-BC particle electrode. The effect of the ratio of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FS) to rice straw (RS), CuSO4•5H2O amount, initial pH of 2-naphthol wastewater and current intensity (the output current of the power supply) on the removal rate of 2-naphthol were investigated. It is noteworthy that more than 98.36% of the 2-naphthol in aqueous solution was removed by the 3D-EF system, and only about 60.09% of 2-naphthol was removed by the homogeneous electro-Fenton system. Furthermore, naphthalene, benzoic acid, β-naphthoquinone, 1, 2-naphthalenedione, phenol and aromatic hydrocarbon were the main degradation products of 2-naphthol by the 3D-EF system; the toxicity of 2-naphthol wastewater was also greatly reduced.Keywords:electro-Fenton;Cu-supported stainless steel electrode;nano zero-valent iron-supported biochar;2-naphthol wastewater

Propane catalytic oxidation is an important industrial chemical process. However, poor activity is frequently observed for stable C–H bonds, especially for non-noble catalysts in low temperature. Herein, we reported a controlled synthesis of catalyst Co3O4@CeO2–IE via inverse loading and proposed a strategy of oxygen vacancy for its high catalytic oxidation activity, achieving better performance than traditional supported catalyst Co3O4/CeO2–IM, i.e., the T50(temperature at 50% propane conversion) of 217 °C vs. 235 °C and T90(temperature at 90% propane conversion) of 268 °C vs. 348 °C at the propane space velocity of 60,000 mL g−1h−1. Further investigations indicate that there are more enriched oxygen vacancies in Co3O4@CeO2–IE due to the unique preparation method. This work provides an element doping strategy to effectively boost the propane catalytic oxidation performance as well as a bright outlook for efficient environmental catalysts.Keywords:propane catalytic oxidation;inverse loading;oxygen vacancy

A combined acid–alkali hydrothermal method was used to prepare fly ash –derived SAPO-34 molecular sieves from a thermal power plant in Inner Mongolia (China). The specific surface area of the prepared fly-ash-derived SAPO-34 molecular sieves was 579 m 2 g −1 , the total pore volume was about 0.27 cm 3 g −1 , and the pore size was 0.56 nm; the molar ratios of Al 2 O 3 :P 2 O 5 :SiO 2 were 1:0.86:0.45. Cu/SAPO-34 catalysts were prepared by impregnation of low-cost fly-ash-derived SAPO-34 molecular sieves as a support and tested in selective catalytic reduction with NH 3 (NH 3 -SCR). Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), N 2 adsorption–desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H 2 temperature-programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR), NH 3 temperature-programmed desorption (NH 3 -TPD), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used for catalyst characterization and investigation of the relationships between the catalyst structure and the catalytic activity. The actual silica:alumina ratio of the molecular sieves did not increase with increasing Cu loading, indicating that increasing the Cu loading does not change the original structure of the SAPO-34 molecular sieves. The XRF and NMR results showed that replacement by Cu results in more Si islands. The molecular sieve acidity decreased because of the increased number of Si islands. The NH 3 -TPD results showed that for the Cu/SAPO-34 catalysts there was a low correlation between the low-temperature activity and the amount of acidic sites. SCR activity is closely related to the location of Cu. The 4.47Cu/SAPO-34 catalyst has the highest isolated Cu 2+ showed the highest NH 3 -SCR activities (> 90%) at 250–350 °C. This work opens up new avenues for recycling fly ash formed in coal-fired power plants (reducing environmental pollution) and developing low-cost SCR catalysts for NO x pollution control.

The NH3-SCR activities and hydrothermal stabilities of fivexCu/MCM-22 zeolites with different Cu loadings (x= 2–10 wt%) prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method were systematically investigated. The physicochemical properties ofxCu/MCM-22 zeolites were analyzed by XRD, nitrogen physisorption, ICP-AES, SEM, NH3-TPD, UV-vis, H2-TPR and XPS experiments. The Cu species existing inxCu/MCM-22 are mainly isolated Cu2+, CuOxand unreducible copper species. The concentrations of both isolated Cu2+and CuOxspecies inxCu/MCM-22 increase with Cu contents, but the increment of CuOxspecies is more distinct, especially in high Cu loadings (>4 wt%). NH3-SCR experimental results demonstrated that the activity ofxCu/MCM-22 is sensitive to Cu content at low Cu loadings (≤4 wt%). When the Cu loading exceeds 4 wt%, the NH3-SCR activity ofxCu/MCM-22 is irrelevant to Cu content due to the severe pore blockage effects caused by aggregated CuOxspecies. Among the fivexCu/MCM-22 zeolites, 4Cu/MCM-22 with moderate Cu content has the best NH3-SCR performance, which displays higher than 80% NOxconversions in a wide temperature window (160–430 °C). Furthermore, the hydrothermal aging experiments (xCu/MCM-22 was treated at 750 °C for 10 h under 10% water vapor atmosphere) illustrated that all thexCu/MCM-22 zeolites exhibit high hydrothermal stability in NH3-SCR reactions.Keywords:Cu/MCM-22;NH3-SCR;Cu loading;hydrothermal aging

After reaction with permanganate or ferrate, the resulted Mn-loaded and Fe-loaded biochar (MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar) exhibited excellent catalytic ozonation activity. O 3 (2.5 mg/L) eliminated 48% of atrazine (ATZ, 5 μM) within 30 min at pH 7.0, while under identical conditions, ozonation efficiency of ATZ increased to 83% and 100% in MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar (20 mg/L) heterogeneous catalytic systems, respectively. Radical scavenger experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis confirmed that hydroxyl radical (•OH) was the dominant oxidant. Total Lewis acid sites on MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar were 3.5 and 4.1 times of that on the raw biochar, which induced enhanced adsorption of O 3 and its subsequent decomposition into •OH. Electron transfer via redox pairs on MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar was observed by cyclic voltammetry scans, which also functioned in the improved catalytic capacity. Degradation pathways of ATZ in MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar ozonation systems were proposed, with 34.6% and 44.8% of dechlorination effect accomplished within 30 min of reaction, which was improved by 4.1 and 5.3 times compared to pure ozonation. After 12-hour treatment, acute toxicity of ATZ oxidation products was reduced from 38.3% of pure ozonation system to 14.5% and 6.3% of activated ozonation systems with MnOx/biochar and FeOx/biochar, respectively. Mn-loaded biochar and Fe-loaded biochar have great potential for heterogeneous catalytic ozonation of polluted water.

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) have attracted much attention as delivery carriers for various drugs, but the loading of one such drug, quercetin, on HNTs has been investigated only rarely and usually involved cyclic vacuum pumping. The main objective of the present study was to develop a novel carrier system based on HNTs for quercetin delivery without a vacuum process and to investigate the effect of chemical modification of HNTs on the loading and release of quercetin. For this purpose, comparative studies of five chemical modification reagents (sodium lauroamphoacetate, cocoamidopropyl betaine, 1-hydroxyethyl 2-nonyl imidazoline betaine, triethanolamine, and dipicolinic acid) functionalized on HNTs were investigated for quercetin loading and in vitro release. Characterization of raw halloysite, modified halloysite, and quercetin-loaded halloysite were done by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that chemical modification could improve the interactions between HNTs and quercetin. After chemical modification, quercetin was anchored to both the inner and outer surfaces of HNTs by electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals forces. Sodium lauroamphoacetate-modified HNTs were given the highest loading of 1.96 wt.% among the five reagents. Cocamidopropyl betaine-modified HNTs exhibited the best sustained-release profile with only 29.07% for initial burst release and 480 h of consecutive release. Carboxyl groups of the modification reagent improved the loading capacity of quercetin. Amide groups prolonged drug release due to the strong affinity between amine and phenolic hydroxyl groups of quercetin. The release of quercetin from the cocamidopropyl betaine-modified HNTs fitted a first-order kinetics model well. The present study suggested that cocamidopropyl betaine-modified HNTs offer promise as vehicles for delivery of quercetin and for extending the application of quercetin.

Plasmonic photocatalysis is promising for solar-driven chemical transformations under mild conditions; however, conventional materials like aluminum, copper, silver, and gold are resonant at short wavelengths, limiting their use in the red to near-infrared sunlight spectrum. In this study, we have developed a class of antenna-reactor (AR) photocatalyst based on two-dimensional (2D) plasmonic materials, Ti3C2Tx, also known as MXenes. A Ru-loaded Ti3C2Tx plasmonic photocatalyst achieves a turnover frequency of approximately 2 s–1 and energy efficiency of 10% for hydrogen production under 660 nm light excitation, being 2–3 orders of magnitude superior to the performance achieved in thermocatalysis. This 2D plasmonic antenna demonstrates superiority over the benchmark CuRu surface-alloy AR structure in hot-electron-driven processes under red light excitation. Kinetic studies suggest that the rate-determining step in both photo- and thermocatalysis is nitrogen’s associative desorption. Hot electrons enhance activity by promoting the removal of adsorbed nitrogenous species.

Nonaqueous CO 2 absorbents, composed of secondary alkanolamines and 2-alkoxyethanols, have attracted much attention for an energy-efficient CO 2 capture process. In this work, densities and viscosities of partially CO 2 -loaded mixtures of 2-(butylamino)ethanol (BAE) + 2-butoxyethanol (EGBE) and 2-(ethylamino)ethanol (EAE) + EGBE were measured at atmospheric pressure over the temperature range of (293.15 to 353.15) K with amine mass fraction ( w 1 ) of (0.10, 0.30 and 0.50) containing various CO 2 loading. With increasing CO 2 loadings, significant increases in both density and viscosity were observed. Dimensionless ρ loaded · ρ CO2-free −1 and η loaded · η CO2-free −1 from the CO 2 -free and CO 2 -loaded systems were fitted by proposed correlations as a function of temperature, amine concentration and CO 2 loading. The calculated values of density and viscosity from the correlations are in good agreement with the experimental results, with AADs within 0.15% and 1.60% for density and viscosity respectively. The dramatic increase in viscosity of carbonated solutions was interpreted by the intermolecular interactions and the formation of ionic products in the mixtures based on the FTIR spectral results.

The [2 + 2] condensation between 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone diester and 1,3-diamino-2-propanol in ethanol affords pseudocalixarene macrocyclic L2 in high yield. Heating L2 to 200 °C in DMSO can generate much smaller [1 + 1] macrocycle L1 . Crystal structure of L1 shows that all non-hydrogen atoms are coplanar except one carbon from 1,3-diamino-2-propanol. L1 is quite inert, but L2 can interact with alkaline, alkaline-earth, as well as Zn 2+ , Cu 2+ , Fe 3+ and Al 3+ cation (chloride) evidenced by their CV and 1 H NMR. With a L2 :M (1:2), there are discernable UV–vis spectrum/ 1 H NMR changes in the presence Cu 2+ , Fe 3+ , Al 3+ . Anion plays a key role in the cation binding process as the chromogenic response to Li + , Na + , K + , Ba 2+ and TBA + hydroxide. L2 forms 1:1 complex with TBAOH and 2:3 complex with NaOH, KOH, Ba(OH) 2 in DMSO. L2 reacts with LiOH in 1:4 stoichiometric and is one of the highest lithium loading ligand. The reaction is second-order with t 1/2 ~ 30 min for 0.25 mM L2 in the presence of 4.0 eq. LiOH. Besides hydroxide, L2 can interact with TBAF to form 1:1 host–guest complexes evidenced by their color and NMR change. With bulky cation, TBAOH shifts E p(II) more negative, while other cations shift E p(II) to positive. L2 is an ion pair acceptor that binds hydroxide and fluoride salt chromogenic.

We report a new strategy for one-pot synthesis of potassium-loaded MgAl oxides using KOH to adjust the pH value of the reaction system. The as-prepared solid superbases were studied by N 2 physisorption method, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared. The superbasic sites were characterized by the use of Hammett indicators and CO 2 temperature-programmed desorption. We found that with a base strength ( H – ) above 26.5, the potassium-loaded MgAl oxides showed high catalytic activity for Knoevenagel condensation at room temperature. Furthermore, the higher the superbasicity and/or the more the amount of superbasic sites, the better is the catalytic activity. The findings open up a new route for the synthesis of new functional superbases using composite oxides as supports.
