An environmentally benign CuO-rectorite was prepared by calcining the co-precipitation product of Cu 2+ with an acid-activated rectorite at pH 6. It could be well dispersed in water and used as a co-catalyst with TEMPO to selectively aerobically oxidize alcohols to aldehydes. The conversion of most primary benzylic alcohols was very high under optimized conditions. Interestingly, the oxidation protocol also allowed highly selective transformation of benzylic alcohols containing a phenolic hydroxyl group into the corresponding aldehydes. Additionally, very little copper was leached from the catalyst during the catalytic reaction. CuO-rectorite could be reused by centrifugation and washed with acetonitrile and water. At the same time, its catalytic activity remained high.
Zeolite supported nano zero valent iron copper bimetallic composite (Z-nZVFe-Cu) was synthesized using an ion exchange method. The morphology and physico-chemical properties of the Z-nZVFe-Cu composite were determined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET), energy dispersive X-ray spectra (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The results showed that iron and copper nano particles were well dispersed on the zeolite sheet. The degradation efficiency of trichloroethylene (TCE) achieved was more than 95% using Z-nZVFe-Cu as a heterogeneous Fenton like catalyst. An efficient removal of total organic carbon (TOC) was promoted as compared to zeolite supported iron nano composite (Z-nZVFe) and unsupported nano iron (nZVFe). Electron spin resonance (ESR) detection confirmed the intensity of hydroxyl radicals (OH ) in the system. While benzoic acid (BA), a probe indicator for the quantification of OH , demonstrated the higher intensity of hydroxyl radicals in Z-nZVFe-Cu as compared to Z-nZVFe and nZVFe. The less iron and copper leaching of from Z-nZVFe-Cu presented its higher stability and better catalytic activity, displaying its potential long term applications for TCE degradation in groundwater.
