PET (poly(ethylene terephthalate)) is one of the most important type of thermoplastic polyesters and widely used in various fields. Titanium-based catalysts are environmentally friendly and have higher catalytic activity than antimony-based catalysts when used in industry. However, titanium-based catalysts are prone to hydrolysis and result in discolored products. UiO-66 (Zr/Ti) with different Ti 4+ contents were successfully synthesized via one-step method. The material was characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, XPS, BET and TG techniques. The results demonstrates that Ti 4+ was integrated into the UiO-66 framework. NH 3 - in situ DRIFTS, pyridine-IR, and NH 3 -TPD were used to explore the acidic properties of the samples, which proved that stable Lewis acidic sites are present in the samples even at 300 °C. The catalytic performance of UiO-66 (Zr/Ti) containing different Ti 4+ was explored under different conditions. At the same time, the scale-up experiment was carried out in a 5 L reactor, and the PET chips obtained had a lower b value. The catalytic reaction mechanism of UiO-66(Zr/Ti) was demonstrated by DFT calculations and the catalytic performance was close to Sb-based catalysts.

Titanates are frequently used as precursors to prepare transesterification catalysts with TiIV species. Unfortunately, it is challenging to control the dispersity of TiIV active sites on supports. Herein, a series of TiIV species is anchored on abundant linker vacancy sites by introducing point and large scale defects in UiO-66(Zr/Ti) with hierarchical-pore structure. The catalyst functionalized by titanium(IV) oxide bis(2,4-pentanedionate) shows excellent catalytic performance in the transesterification of dimethyl carbonate with phenyl acetate. The catalysts are characterized by XRD, FT-IR, N2 adsorption–desorption, XPS, SEM and STEM-HAADF techniques. The results demonstrate that the delicate mesopores in the support can not only exhibit a large surface area for the distribution of the active sites, but also provide better mass transfer performance. Meanwhile, the introduction of octahedral TiIV ions raises the activity of the catalyst via more coordinatively unsaturated ZrIV sites. Furthermore, using titanium(IV) oxide bis(2,4-pentanedionate) as a Ti source can effectively prevent the condensation of tetrahedral TiIV species anchored on the hierarchical-pore UiO-66(Zr/Ti) support.

Tetracycline (TC) is widely-used antibiotic pollutant with high toxicity, refractory, persistence and bacteriostasis, and its removal from water needs to be enhanced. In this work, a novel Graphite-UiO-66(Zr)/Ti electrode was successfully prepared and evaluated for electrochemical oxidation degradation of TC. The electrochemical performance tests indicate the Graphite-UiO-66(Zr)/Ti electrode had higher electrochemical oxidation activity, which achieved higher TC removal efficiency (98.1% ± 1.5%) than Ti plate (65.2% ± 3.5%), Graphite-MIL-53(Al)/Ti electrode (79.5% ± 2.9%) and Graphite-MIL-100(Fe)/Ti electrode (89.0% ± 2.6%). The influence of operating condition was also systematically studied, and the optimized condition was pH 5.0, 20 mA/cm 2 current density and 0.1 M electrolyte (Na 2 SO 4 ). Through the liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS), the TC degradation pathway by Graphite-UiO-66(Zr)/Ti electrode oxidation was proposed. Under the •OH free radical oxidative decomposition effect, the double bond, phenolic group and amine group of TC were attacked. TC was transformed into intermediate product ① (m/z = 447), then was further degraded to intermediates ② (m/z = 401) and ③ (m/z = 417). The latter was fragmented into small fractions ④ (m/z = 194), ⑤but-2-enedioic acid (m/z = 116) and ⑥oxalic acid (m/z = 90, the proposed intermediate). In addition, TC removal remained at 89.6% ± 2.7% in the sixth cycle of operation, which confirmed the efficient reusability and stability for antibiotics removal from water.
