Allyl alcohol, an industrially valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, is conventionally produced through selective hydrogenation of acrolein and hydrolysis of chloropropene. However, these processes currently face challenges due to the unsustainability of fossil feedstocks. A more sustainable production of allyl alcohol from renewable feedstock (i.e., glycerol) has been demonstrated through gas-phase catalytic reaction over metal oxide catalysts with and without external H2. Improved understanding of the reaction mechanism of glycerol to allyl alcohol conversion is an important effort to rationally design more efficient catalysts. In this work, we investigate gas-phase conversion of glycerol to allyl alcohol through consecutive dehydration and hydrogen transfer reactions over Mo–V oxides supported on acid-modified montmorillonite (HMMT). The use of HMMT as a support enables the well dispersion of metal oxide particles with nominal loadings up to 5 wt % on the catalyst surface while the acidic sites facilitate dehydration of glycerol to acrolein with ∼74% selectivity. By modulating the nominal total Mo+V loading, Mo–V/HMMT catalyst with a 10 wt % metal loading afforded allyl alcohol in 22% yield at 320 °C and ambient pressure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis of this bifunctional catalyst in the as-prepared and post-catalysis (spent) states showed changes in the surface Mo(VI)═O species and V4+/V5+ redox ratio; the latter was found to decrease due to the involvement of lower valence V4+ species in the hydrogen transfer reaction of acrolein. Meanwhile, the amount of surface Mo(VI)═O species with weak electronic metal–support interaction decreases after the reaction. Catalytic tests using an aqueous acrolein feed solution suggested the role of water as a hydride donor in transfer hydrogenation of this unsaturated aldehyde to allyl alcohol, while the addition of alcohol-containing compounds, such as 2-propanol and 1,2-propanediol leads to lower allyl alcohol selectivity with time on stream. The results presented here could guide the development of improved supported Mo−V oxide catalysts and reaction systems for efficient gas-phase glycerol conversion to allyl alcohol.

Permanganate [Mn(VII)] needs to be activated to improve its reactivity towards refractory organic contaminants in practice. Herein, visible light (VL) and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) were introduced to enhance the activation of Mn(VII) for the first time. Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) can be degraded effectively by VL/Mn(VII)/g-C 3 N 4 system in neutral and alkaline environments. Different from conventional Mn(VII) activation and photocatalytic processes, the performance of VL/Mn(VII)/g-C 3 N 4 system in various real water samples was superior than Milli-Q water. Mn(V) was found to be the dominant active species responsible for SMX degradation. Photo-induced electron (e cb – ) of g-C 3 N 4 under VL irradiation was proved to be the initiator of Mn(VII) activation. Density functional theory calculations revealed the strong affinity of g-C 3 N 4 for Mn(VII), which can resist the interference of water substrates on the Mn(VII) activation process by photo-induced e cb – . This work deepens the understanding of reactive manganese intermediates in the Mn(VII) activation system.

Crown-ether-like octanuclear polyoxymolybdenum(V) cluster (NH4)4[Mo8O8(μ2-OH)4(μ2-O)8(dmtrz)8]·62.5H2O (dmtrz = 3,5-dimethyltriazole, 1) was successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Its lithium additives Li4[Mo8O8(μ2-OH)4(μ2-O)8(dmtrz)8]·2(Hdmtrz)·27H2O (2), Li4[Mo8O8(μ2-OH)4(μ2-O)8(dmtrz)8]·20.5H2O (3) and Li4[Mo8O8(μ2-OH)4(μ2-O)8(dmtrz)8]·25H2O (4) have also been obtained and fully characterized respectively. The lithium cations are in the forms of mononuclear, dinuclear and tetranuclear units. X-ray structural analyses show that polyoxometalate-based materials 1–4 constitute round pores formed by eight molybdenum-oxygen groups connected sequentially with sizes of 4.6 Å. With 1 as the basic framework, 2–4 combine lithium cations in the forms of different hydrates, respectively. In addition, 1 stacked up intermolecularly with pores of sizes 10.0 × 18.0 Å2, while 4 stacked up inter-molecularly with 6.0 × 4.0 Å2 in the a axis and 8.0 × 5.8 Å2 in the c axis, respectively. The results show that 1 can selectively adsorb CO2 and O2, respectively.

Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membranes with precise molecular-sieving performance have become increasingly important in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, desiring superior membranes with both high permeability and selectivity. Herein, the V-shape Tröger's base (TB) structure is incorporated in the polyamide network to engineer microporosity as well as the molecular-sieving performance of the thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membrane for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN). The TFC membrane containing the TB structure features a rigid and contorted chain structure, which affords high and stable methanol permeability in OSN applications. Furthermore, the H-bond interaction between the H of amide groups and N in TB reinforces the interchain interaction, endowing the membrane with a precise selectivity to organic solutes. The as-prepared TFC membrane demonstrated high methanol permeance of 16.6 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and sieving performance to organic molecules with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) down to 349 Da. Furthermore, the membrane demonstrates shape selectivity for organic solutes, exploiting the fine microporous structure. This study may provide insights into the molecular design of TFC membranes by finely tuning the molecular features for precise solute separations.

In this study, nanosized ordered magnetic mesoporous Fe-Ce bimetal oxides (Nanosized-MMIC) with highly well-ordered inner-connected mesostructure were successfully synthesized through the KIT-6 template method. This Nanosized-MMIC displayed excellent adsorption capacities for As(V), Cr(VI) and AO7, and the corresponding calculated maximum adsorption capacities of material were 111.17, 125.28 and 156.52 mg/g, respectively. As(V) and Cr(VI) removal by Nanosized-MMIC were slightly dependent on the ionic strength but highly solution pH-dependent, the coexistent silicate and phosphate ions competed remarkably with both As(V) and Cr(VI) for the adsorption active site. Mechanisms indicated As(V) and Cr(VI) formed inner-sphere complexes on Nanosized-MMIC interface via the electrostatic interaction and surface complexation, while the total organic carbon (TOC) change demonstrated that AO7 could be removed completely and no organic intermediates formed through the adsorption process. In addition, Nanosized-MMIC also possessed superior adsorption performance in As(V)/Cr(VI)-AO7 binary systems, and the reusable and regeneration properties indicated that the obtained nanomaterials could maintain at a comparatively high level after several recycling. Finally, fixed-bed experiments suggested the Nanosized-MMIC was expected to have a promising excellent nano-adsorbent with high application potential for co-existed toxic heavy metals and organic dyes removal in practical wastewater treatment .

Na-X zeolite was successfully prepared from low aluminum coal fly ash (LACFA) via fusion-hydrothermal treatment. The influence of various synthesis parameters was investigated, including aluminum additives (AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O, Al(NO 3 ) 3 ·9H 2 O, AlF 3 ·3H 2 O and NaAlO 2 ), dosages of NaAlO 2 , weight ratio of LACFA/NaOH, crystallization temperature and time. The results indicated that the addition of Al species played a key role in the synthesis process of purity Na-X zeolite, and the corresponding relative crystallinity of the obtained samples was in the order of Na-X zeolite (Al) ≫ Na-X zeolite (Cl) > Na-X zeolite (N) > Na-X zeolite (F) (Here, “Al”, “Cl”, “N” and “F” represent NaAlO 2 , AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O, Al(NO 3 ) 3 ·9H 2 O and AlF 3 ·3H 2 O, respectively). And the optimal operating conditions were: the weight ratio of LACFA/NaOH = 0.83, short crystallization time 360 min, low crystallization temperature 90 °C and 0.038 mol NaAlO 2 . Additionally, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transforms Infrared (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were employed to determine the resultant samples. Based on the results of As(V) adsorption experiment, the experimental data was suitable fitted by Freundlich adsorption isotherm model, and the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity was 27.79 mg/g at pH = 2.14. The kinetics studies suggested that “surface reaction” was the rate-determining step of adsorption process, and the thermodynamics studies indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. These results deemed that the LACFA was suitable for preparing Na-X zeolite (Al) , and the obtained Na-X zeolite (Al) was served as a promising adsorbent to remove As(V) from acid wastewater.

This study investigated the effect of different-polarity aqueous ethanol solutions on the formation of V -type starch originating from corn starch. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the morphology of starch transformed from a random lamellar structure to a granular structure with decreasing solution polarity. When the ethanol concentration increased from 40 % to 60 %, the crystallinity and single-helix ratio of V -type starch increased from 9.66 % and 6.90 % to 29.77 % and 12.84 %, respectively. When the ethanol concentration was 100 %, the aforementioned parameters decreased to 21.31 % and 11.07 %, respectively. The crystallinity and curcumin encapsulation efficiency of the V -type starch reached their maximum values when this starch was prepared using 60 % aqueous ethanol. Furthermore, curcumin release experiments indicated that the produced starch–curcumin complex could resist gastric acid, and V -type starch with higher crystallinity exhibited a better sustained release effect in intestinal fluid. These results indicate that the formation of V -type starch can be finely regulated using aqueous ethanol solutions with different polarities, and such regulation is beneficial for the application of V -type starch in the oral delivery of guest molecules.

Freshly prepared carbonate structural Fe(II) (CSF) was used to immobilize As(III) and As(V) in wastewater under oxic and anoxic conditions. Dissolved oxygen was found to exert opposite effects on these two arsenic species. The sorption density of As(III) was higher under oxic conditions, whereas that of As(V) was higher under anoxic conditions. X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopic analyses indicated that crystalline parasymplesite (Fe(II) 3 (AsO 4 ) 2 ·8H 2 O) was formed when As(V) was removed under anoxic conditions, while an amorphous Fe-As-containing precipitate was formed when As(III) was removed under oxic conditions. The distribution of arsenic and iron between the solution and sediments suggested that the oxidation of structural Fe(II) promoted coprecipitation process and inhibited surface complexation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analyses revealed that more As(III) was oxidized under oxic condition, which contributed to a higher sorption capacity for As(III). The formation of parasymplesite through surface complexation/precipitation was proposed to be more effective for the removal of As(V) by CSF, while As(III) was more efficiently removed through coprecipitation. Together, the results suggest that CSF may be an effective material for sequestering both As(III) and As(V). In addition, attention should be paid to the dissolved oxygen content when remediating different arsenic species.

The field of semiconductor surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates has experienced significant advancements, leading to a wide range of applications in several fields. However, the quest for new ultra-sensitive semiconductor SERS materials is still of utmost importance. In this regard, an efficient and novel substrate, F 4 TCNQ/MoS 2 heterostructure is introduced, assisted by V-shaped aluminum anodic oxide (AAO) nanocavities with different depths. Utilizing the efficient charge transfer of organic/inorganic semiconducting heterostructure and the photoconfinement capability of the nanocavity structure of the AAO nanotemplate, excellent stability, fast sensing, enhanced Raman, and photodegradation activities are achieved. Due to its unique 3D structure, the optimized F 4 TCNQ/MoS 2 /AAO with 1500 nm depth achieves ultra-high sensitivity detection of 9.0×10 −16 M for conventional probe molecules. Furthermore, precise detection of water contaminants is observed for the first time with a V-shaped heterostructure due to combined organic/inorganic features that differ significantly from conventional MoS 2 structures or other metal/inorganic or inorganic/inorganic semiconductors. This research presents a novel and versatile strategy for SERS and demonstrates its diverse potential performance in practical applications.

In present study, the poisoning mechanism of Cl on V/TiO 2 catalyst for SCR removal of NOx using NH 3 as the reductant was explored by in situ DRIFT technique. The experimental results revealed that the existence of Cl did not change the SCR reaction mechanism over V/TiO 2 catalyst, which was mainly under the control of both E-R and L-H mechanisms. The deactivation of V/TiO 2 catalyst by Cl was mainly resulted from the inhibited adsorption of NH 3 and NOx species, accompanied by the decrease of the reactivity of adsorbed NH 3 species.

The formation of inclusion complexes (ICs) between V-type starch and flavors is traditionally conducted in an aqueous system. In this study, limonene was solid encapsulated into V6-starch under ambient pressure (AP) and high hydrostatic pressure (HHP). The maximum loading capacity reached 639.0 mg/g after HHP treatment, and the highest encapsulation efficiency was 79.9 %. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) results showed that the ordered structure of V6-starch was ameliorated with limonene, which avoided the reduction of the space between adjacent helices within V6-starch generated by HHP treatment. Notably, HHP treatment may force molecular permeation of limonene from amorphous regions into inter-crystalline amorphous regions and crystalline regions as the Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) patterns indicated, leading to better controlled-release behavior. Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) revealed that the solid encapsulation of V-type starch improved the thermal stability of limonene. Further, the release kinetics study showed that a complex prepared with a mass ratio of 2:1 under HHP treatment sustainably released limonene over 96 h and exhibited a preferable antimicrobial effect, which could extend the shelf life of strawberries.

Mg-Al layered double hydroxides coated waste textile (MgAl-LDH@WT) was prepared by an in-suit method for the separation of toxic metal ions such as As(V) and Cr(VI) from soil samples. Kinetics studies of As(V)/Cr(VI) removal by MgAl-LDH@WT with different Mg/Al ratio were well described by intraparticle diffusion and pseudo-second-order model. Adsorption isotherm data of As(V)/Cr(VI) yielded a better accordance of Langmuir model, manifesting that accessible adsorption site was the main influence factor and the removal of As(V)/Cr(VI) was a charge-limited process. The adsorption capacity was 69.8 mg/g, 49.8 mg/g, 45.6 mg/g and 38.2 mg/g by Mg 2 Al-LDH@WT, Mg 3 Al-LDH@WT, Mg 4 Al-LDH@WT and LDHs, and for Cr(VI) were 27.5 mg/g, 24.9 mg/g, 19 mg/g and 6.8 mg/g, respectively. Adsorption behavior of As(V) and Cr(VI) co-existing in soil indicated that As(V) possess a preferential adsorption rather than Cr(VI) by Mg 2 Al-LDH@WT, and molecular simulation was selected to explain the results of competitive relationship by bonding energy and variation of bond length. The effect of co-existing ions, column leaching experiment and recycle experiment for practical performance assessment were also examined, and these results revealed a high stability and a good partition capability. The performance of excellent removal and convenient recovery suggested a promising strategy in anionic heavy metals contaminated soil.
