The utilization of near-infrared (NIR) light may greatly enlarge the application range of irradiated light of a photocatalyst, which is still an issue needing to be solved. In this work, CdTe nanoparticles are firstly found to be endowed with the capacity to photo-reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) under infrared light irradiation. The CdTe nanoparticles are prepared under a facile hydrothermal condition, with diameters of approximately 22 nm, which shows high photo-reduced efficiencies to Cr(VI) of 82.44% at the irradiation of a Xe lamp (500 W, including the visible light and infrared light), and 25.54% under the irradiation of infrared light, respectively. The active species of e − , h + , and OH participate in the reduction of Cr(VI), and the photogenerated e − and OH both play a critical role in the infrared light region. This study proposes a new pathway for Cr(VI) photoreduction in wastewater under visible-NIR light irradiation which shows an application potential as a photocatalyst at the infrared light range and provides new insights for pollution reduction and environmental improvement.

Unmodified Cr/Al 2 O 3 and Cr/Al 2 O 3 doping with different alkali metals (Li, Na, K) were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The surface elements of all the catalysts are evenly distributed and well loaded, and the addition of alkali metals does not change the crystal structure and surface texture. Both Cr 6+ and Cr 3+ species exist on all catalysts, and the addition of alkali metals can increase the amount of Cr 6+ species, and Cr 6+ species are basically converted into active Cr 3+ species in the reaction thus increasing the initial propane conversion in the reaction. The addition of alkali metals reduced the amount of total acid sites and the strong acid sites of the catalyst, thus inhibiting the occurrence of side reactions and the formation of carbon deposition , and reducing the deactivation rate of the catalyst. Cr-0.5Na/Al 2 O 3 exhibited the best catalytic performance and the lowest carbon deposition.

In this paper, a metakaolin-based mesoporous geopolymer (GP-CTAB) was used as adsorbent for Cu(II) and Cr(VI) through a novel and simple synthetic route using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as an organic modifier. The application of GP-CTAB for the simultaneous removal of metal anions and cations in aqueous solution was studied for the first time. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET), and Barrett, Joyner, and Halenda (BJH) methods indicate that GP-CTAB is still geopolymer even in the presence of quaternary ammonium salt cations. The material was tested to simultaneously adsorb Cu(II) and Cr(VI) from an aqueous solution. The results show that GP-CTAB can adsorb anions simultaneously without sacrificing the adsorption properties of heavy metal cations, which is superior to conventional geopolymers. The maximum theoretical adsorption capacity of GP-CTAB for Cu(II) and Cr(VI) was 108.2 mg/g and 95.3 mg/g in the binary system, respectively. It was also found that the presence of Cu(II) in the solution promoted the adsorption of Cr(VI). Given this characteristic of GP-CTAB, it has shown great application prospects in the prevention and control of heavy metal pollution.

Porous hollow Ga2O3nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a hydrolysis method followed by calcination. The prepared samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra and Raman spectrum. The porous structure of Ga2O3nanoparticles can enhance the light harvesting efficiency, and provide lots of channels for the diffusion of Cr(VI) and Cr(III). Photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI), with different initial pH and degradation of several organic substrates by porous hollow Ga2O3nanoparticles in single system and binary system, were investigated in detail. The reduction rate of Cr(VI) in the binary pollutant system is markedly faster than that in the single Cr(VI) system, because Cr(VI) mainly acts as photogenerated electron acceptor. In addition, the type and concentration of organic substrates have an important role in the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI).Keywords:Ga2O3;porous;Cr(VI);organic pollutants

The design of efficient and stable photocatalysts for the removal of heavy metals in the environment has become a research hotspot. Here, a composite photocatalyst with three-dimensional In 2 S 3 microspheres supported by WO 3 nanoparticles was synthesized for the photoreduction of Cr(VI) for the first time. The constructed composite catalyst has a direct Z-scheme electron transport mechanism without any precious metals (Au, Pt, and Ag), quantum dots (TiO 2 QDs) or carbon materials (Graphene) as electronic media. Constructing a direct Z-scheme WO 3 /In 2 S 3 photocatalyst can greatly retain the reduction and oxidation reaction sites on the surface of the heterojunction and accelerate the reduction reaction. Under visible light irradiation, it greatly promotes the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI), which is 67.7 times and 3.6 times the reduction rates of WO 3 and In 2 S 3 , respectively. The favorable photocatalytic performance of WO 3 /In 2 S 3 should be attributed to the effective interfacial contact between the semiconductors in the Z-scheme system, thereby realizing effective electron transfer and charge separation. In addition, the stability of WO 3 /In 2 S 3 was studied, and a possible mechanism in the photoreduction process of Cr(VI) was proposed.

MIL-101 (Cr) was synthesized by a hydrothermal method and used as support to prepare a series of polyethylenimine (PEI) incorporated MIL-101 (Cr) by wet impregnation method. All characterization results revealed that the structure of MIL-101 (Cr) was well-maintained by the incorporation of polyethylenimine and confirmed the presence of PEI within MIL-101 (Cr). The CO 2 adsorption studies were carried out in a fixed bed reactor from 30 to 90 °C, 1 bar. The adsorption of CO 2 has been increased by the incorporation of PEI. It was due to the chemical interaction between the NH 2 and CO 2 groups to form a carbamate. The high CO 2 adsorption capacity 3.81 mmol g −1 was shown by 70 wt% PEI loaded MIL-101 (Cr) at 75 °C, 1 bar, because of more number of NH 2 groups and a high number of CO 2 molecules diffusion. Its adsorption capacity was 4.7 times higher than the adsorption capacity of MIL-101 (Cr) (0.80 mmol g −1 ). Moreover, in moisture condition, CO 2 adsorption capacity was increased to 4.4 mmol g −1 by the formation of ammonium bicarbonate and showed good adsorption stability throughout each adsorption-desorption cycle. The Avrami adsorption kinetic model was well fitted with experimental breakthrough CO 2 adsorption data of MIL-101 (Cr)-PEI-70. It suggested that the adsorption of CO 2 on PEI incorporated material was chemical adsorption.

Efficient and economical reduction and elimination of co-pollution of vanadium (V) and chromium (Cr) from water sources is a major challenge. In this study, sulphate green rust (GR SO4 ) was successfully prepared by co-precipitation method and used for the removal of V(V) and Cr(VI). The findings from batch adsorption experiments indicated that the adsorption capacity of GR SO4 for V(V) and Cr(VI) individually was 30.66 mg⋅g −1 and 39.48 mg⋅g −1 , respectively, with equilibrium reached in 25 min and 10 min. Intriguingly, in a binary system with both V(V) and Cr(VI) present, the time to reach adsorption equilibrium for V(V) removal by GR SO4 was 30 % shorter comparison to the single system under identical conditions. By analyzing the surface characteristics, crystal structure and elemental valence changes of GR SO4 minerals before and after the reaction, it can be obtained that: i) Direct adsorption mainly drives the removal of V(V) by GR SO4 , whereas the removal of Cr(VI) is preceded by reduction and followed by adsorption. ii) In a binary coexistence system, the formation of Fe(III)-Cr(III) oxide (GR-Cr(III)) during the removal of Cr(VI) by GR SO4 formed during the removal of Cr(VI) by GR SO4 creates additional adsorption sites for V(V), which shortens the equilibrium time of the V(V) removal reaction by GR SO4 and reduces the amount of V(V) leached. These findings are of great practical significance for understanding the mechanism and practical application of GR SO4 in the synergistic removal of V(V) and Cr(VI) heavy metals and provide valuable insights into their geophysical-chemical cycling.

MIL-101(Cr), one of the best investigated and widely used metal–organic frameworks, has been easily synthesized with particle diameters in the range from 387(28) nm to 90(10) nm by using acetic acid as a modulator . The particle size of MIL-101(Cr) decreased with increasing acetic acid concentration. The decrease of size in high concentration of acetic acid may be explained with the efficient suppression of the framework extension. In a selected condition, MIL-101(Cr) possessing an average diameter of about 90 nm can be prepared easily and reproducibly in gram-scale, with high BET-surface areas (3200–3500 m 2 /g) and fairly good yield (60–75%).

Biochar is considered to be the most promising substrate for the preparation of environmentally functional materials. The modification of bamboo char can significantly improve the removal rate of toxic ions from wastewater; however, there are few reports that focus on the radiation grafting method. Here, glyceride methacrylate (GMA) is successfully grafted onto bamboo char through electron beam radiation, followed by amination using the existing epoxide group in diethyltriamine, and finally, treated with hydrochloric acid to obtain protonated diethyltriamine-functionalized bamboo char (CDGBC). The results of IR, TG, XRD, and SEM prove the successful fabrication of a CDGBC biosorbent. The results show that the solution pH has a great effect on the adsorption capacity, and a maximum adsorption capacity of 169.13 mg/g is obtained at pH = 2 for Cr(VI). In addition, the adsorption behavior of Cr(VI) onto CDGBC is demonstrated to obey the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models, and thermodynamic analysis exhibits that Cr(VI) adsorption is an endothermic spontaneous process. A possible adsorption mechanism based on the electrostatic interaction, reduction, and surface complexation is proposed, according to the obtained results. This work confirms that radiation-induced grafting modification can effectively transform biochar into a high-performance adsorbent for Cr(VI) removal, offering a new approach to synthesizing an efficient biosorbent.Keywords:bamboo char;radiation-induced grafting;Cr(VI);adsorption;mechanism

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is regarded as a water pollutant because of its high toxicity in aquatic environments. In this study, polyethyleneimine-functionalised NH2-MIL-101(Cr) (PEI@NH2-MIL-101(Cr)) was fabricated by a facile wet impregnation method, and its effectiveness at removing Cr(VI) from wastewater was systematically investigated. As suggested by the experimental findings, pH was a significant determinant of Cr(VI) uptake by the fabricated PEI@NH2-MIL-101(Cr). Preferable depiction of adsorption system was achievable with the Langmuir adsorption model and the pseudo-order 2 kinetic model. At 288, 298, and 308 K, the highest adsorbability values were 241.55, 310.56, and 408.16 mg g−1, respectively. Processes like electrostatic attraction, reduction and chelation helped promote the Cr(VI) elimination. SO42− ions had a relatively large impact on the Cr(VI) adsorption compared with other coexisting ions such as NO3−, Cl− and H2PO4−1. Because of its properties of high adsorption capacity and Cr(VI) detoxification, the potential of PEI@NH2-MIL-101(Cr) in the Cr(VI) elimination from wastewater appears to be promising.

Organic pollutants and heavy metals often coexist in wastewater, their simultaneous and effective removal from wastewater has a particular significance for environmental remediation. In this study, pyrite (FeS 2 ), the most abundant iron mineral in the Earth’s crust, was selected as a catalyst to activate persulfate for the simultaneous removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and Cr(VI), two common contaminants in wastewater. The results indicated that 76.2% of 2,4-DCP and 80.1% of Cr(VI) were simultaneously removed within 120 min in the pyrite/persulfate system. The simultaneous removal efficiency of 2,4-DCP and Cr(VI) by the pyrite/persulfate system was influenced by the contaminant concentration, solution pH and organic acids. The radicals SO 4 ·− and ·OH were detected as the oxidative species in the pyrite/persulfate combined system using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, and quenching experiments with methanol and tert-butanol indicated that SO 4 ·− played a predominant role in the degradation of 2,4-DCP. The radicals (SO 4 ·− and ·OH) produced from the activation of persulfate by pyrite principally contributed to 2,4-DCP disintegration, while the removal of Cr(VI) was primarily attributed to the reduction ability of pyrite. Experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results indicated that Fe is the main catalytic site, and the reductive sulfides of the pyrite surface mediated Fe 2+ recovery as donors during reaction processes. This work presented a ubiquitous natural sulfide mineral with excellent catalytic performance in the heterogeneous persulfate activation, implying a new strategy in wastewater treatment for simultaneous removal of heavy metal and organic compounds.

The impressive water stability demonstrated by MIL-101(Cr) highlights its considerable potential for the effective elimination of organic contaminants from wastewater. Nevertheless, the limited availability of adsorption sites within MOFs leads to an unsatisfactory capacity for tetracycline (TC) adsorption. In this case, the lanthanum modified MIL-101(Cr) porous adsorbents, termed as nLa-MIL-101(Cr), were successfully synthesized using a post-synthetic modification method. Through various characterization analyses, it was confirmed that lanthanum exists in the form of La(OH) 3 within the adsorbents, and all adsorbents also preserved the original structure as MIL-101(Cr). The results of static adsorption experiments demonstrated that, compared to the original material, the adsorption capacity of 1La-MIL-101(Cr) for TC increased by 3.5 times. Further experiments demonstrated that the adsorbent exhibits remarkable ion interference resistance and cycle stability. Finally, based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the adsorption mechanism was primarily attributed to the coordination between TC molecules and metals active site, while electrostatic interactions also played a significant role in the process. This study has developed a highly efficient adsorbent for the treatment of TC-contaminated wastewater, which reflects promising practical application prospects.
