The magnetic covalent organic framework with β-ketoenamine linkage (Fe 3 O 4 @COF(TpPa-1)) was fabricated by the hydrothermal method. The obtained Fe 3 O 4 @TpPa-1 integrated four advantages, namely easy preparation, high stability, excellent adsorption performance (485.2 m 2 /g) and good recoverability (19.5 emu/g), which enabled it an ideal sorbent for wastewater treatment. Fe 3 O 4 @TpPa-1 exhibited excellent adsorption capacities for Cr (VI) (245.45 mg/g) and bisphenol A (1220.97 mg/g). The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were in alignment to the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model, respectively. After five times cycles, the adsorption capacity of Fe 3 O 4 @TpPa-1 still retained at a high level. According to Materials Studio simulation and XPS analysis, the adsorption mechanism was attributed to the presence of the homogeneously distributed imine and carbonyl functional groups in the framework of TpPa-1, allowing them to serve as platforms for anchoring heavy metals and organic pollutants. Besides, the hydrophobic skeleton structures of TpPa-1 endowed them good adsorption performance towards organic pollutants via hydrogen -bonding (NH … O … HO) and π-π interaction. Therefore, the recyclable Fe 3 O 4 @TpPa-1 showed a broad application prospects in environmental remediation.

The hydrophobicity of MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 based photocatalysts remains a major hurdle to their successful application for the remediation of water-soluble contaminants such as herbicides and heavy metals. Herein, we develop new photocatalysts based on the graft of three different cyclodextrins (α-CD, β-CD and γ-CD) on MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composites (CDs/MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 ) for the removal of glyphosate and Cr (VI) from simulated agricultural runoff. CDs/MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 show remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activities for glyphosate degradation and Cr (VI) reduction compared to pristine MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 . In addition, γ-CD/MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 exhibits the highest hydrophilicity and photocatalytic activity among these three different cyclodextrins grafted MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 . The mechanistic investigation indicates that cyclodextrins can not only increase the accumulation of glyphosate and Cr (VI) onto the surface of CDs/MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 but also facilitate the fleet separation of photo-induced electron-hole pairs. In summary, these results collectively imply that the graft of cyclodextrins could be an effective strategy to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of MoS 2 /g-C 3 N 4 composites for the removal of glyphosate and Cr (VI) from simulated agricultural runoff.

The study reports a facile synthesis of Ag-g-C 3 N 4 /AC composites with highly photocatalytic activity and good adsorption capacity by an impregnation-thermal polycondensation process. The resulting Ag-g-C 3 N 4 /AC composites were used for treatment of different pollutants in water including Rhodamine B (RhB), Cr(VI) ions and pathogens . When the precursor mass ratio of urea and AC was 2:2, the resultant Ag-g-C 3 N 4 /AC catalyst showed the best photocatalytic performances. In particular, the composite photocatalysts exhibited highly bactericidal efficiency, which could reach 99.9% after 120 min of irradiation. The higher photocatalytic performances of Ag-g-C 3 N 4 /AC composites were attributed to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) together with the interfacial synergistic effects. Meanwhile, AC not only exhibited excellent adsorption capacity, but also decreased aggregation of g-C 3 N 4 , which could enhance the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers. It was uncovered through Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and radical scavenger experiments that • OH radicals, • O 2 − and h + participate in the RhB degradation under the visible light. This work shows that the high-efficient and stable Ag-g-C 3 N 4 /AC composites have a great potential in the treatment of organic pollutants , toxic heavy metals and pathogenic bacteria by adsorption/photocatalysis for practical water treatment .

A one-step hydrothermal process to synthesize N-doping graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) using PVP K90 as the novel self-passivation agent, in which the self-passivation and N-doping is realized simultaneously, is first proposed. The as-obtained N-GQDs with an average diameter of 1.9 ± 0.6 nm can emit blue fluorescence (365 nm excitation), and possess a high fluorescent quantum yield (QY) of 64.2%. Due to the inner filter effect, N-GQDs are considered as outstanding fluorescent probes for detecting Cr(VI), which exhibit a lower detection limit (91 nM) and a wider linear range (0.1–100 μM). Significantly, the fluorescent probe also indicates a remarkably high selectivity towards Cr(VI) among other metal ions with high concentrations. The fluorescence intensity of N-GQDs quenched by Cr(VI) is significantly turned on through adding reducing agent. What’s more, N-GQDs have been successfully used to detect Cr(VI) in running water. In addition, the as-obtained N-GQDs could be further applied in cell imaging due to its biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity. Therefore, N-GQDs could be a wondrous sensing system for detecting Cr(VI) and fluorescent marker of MCF-7 cells with a wide range of potential applications.

The recovery and separation of vanadium and chromium from vanadium-containing chromate solution are necessary and valuable for the comprehensive utilization and environmental protection of V-Ti-bearing magnetite ore. In this work, a tetragonal ZrO 2 adsorbent was used for harmless treatment and resource reuse of a low-concentration vanadium-containing chromate solution. Results confirmed that water after treatment met the wastewater discharge standard; in addition, Cr(VI) and V(V) were efficiently separated with the V/Cr separation coefficient of 362.05 for the pH of 3.5 and the V/Cr ratio of 1:1 at the concentration of 80 mg/L. This excellent and stable separation performance of ZrO 2 was ascribed to the competitive adsorption of V(V) and Cr(VI) on ZrO 2 , owing to the strong effect of pH on their adsorption and desorption behavior. V(V) and Cr(VI) in vanadium-containing chromate solution can be removed, recovered, separated and enriched through a two-step adsorption/desorption process. The purity of vanadium and chromium can reach more than 99.8%. The adsorption of vanadium and chromium by ZrO 2 has high application value, which is beneficial to the recovery of resources and environmental protection.

BACKGROUND The photocatalytic activity of a pristine semiconductor is unsatisfactory due to the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Constructing composite photocatalysts has proven to be an effective method to suppress electron–hole recombination. The composites composed of two materials usually are synthesized through a two-step process. However, in this work, a simple one-step solvothermal method employing an homogeneous reaction system was adopted to synthesize a tungsten trioxide (WO 3 )-copper sulfide (CuS) nanosheet heterojunction with enhanced photocatalytic properties. RESULTS The formation of the WO 3 -CuS heterojunction was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. The composites showed improved visible light harvesting ability, and enhanced photoelectric and photocatalytic properties compared with pure WO 3 . The optimized composite displayed a photocurrent almost five-fold greater than the sum of the photocurrents of WO 3 and CuS, and had superior performance for methylene blue (MB) degradation and hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] reduction. The MB degradation and Cr(VI) reduction efficiencies were both improved when they co-existed in the photocatalytic system. Interferential ions Cl − and NO 3 − were much less effective in the degradation of MB than in the reduction of Cr(VI). CONCLUSIONS Improved photocatalytic activity was achieved after coupling CuS with WO 3 , due to the enhanced visible light absorption and efficient electron–hole separation. Photogenerated holes were found to be the dominant reactive species in the MB photodegradation process. A synergistic effect existed between MB degradation and Cr(VI) reduction. Interferential ions Cl − and NO 3 − had much greater effect on Cr(VI) reduction than MB degradation. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

This is the first time we report that P-doped anatase titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) nanosheets can be fabricated by red phosphorus (RP) and TiO 2 nanosheets using simply hydrothermal method, accompanying variation in surface species viz. Ti 4+ , O 2− , Ti 3+ , oxygen vacancies ( V o ) and P 5+ . The defect and impurity levels induced by moderate doping could facilitate the formation of charge trap centers or avoid the formation of charge recombination centers, resulting in remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity . Moreover, the enhanced optical absorbance and transfer performance of photo-generated carriers were studied using UV–Vis spectroscopy, photoelectric spectrometry and TR-PL. Importantly, the formation of Ti-O-P bands may accelerated transmission of electrons, giving rise to the effective separation of photo-generated carriers. To the best of our knowledge, the Cr (VI) reduction and RhB removal rate obtained by this hybrid show comparatively competitive among other reports so far. It is believed that this work provide a promising approach for building a novel pathway for electron transport and more photocatalytic reaction centers on photocatalysts.

A series of visible-light-driven direct Z-scheme CdS/CuInS 2 nanoplates were fabricated by a facile one-step hydrothermal method, and the molar ratio of CdS to CuInS 2 was optimized. The highest visible-light photocatalytic degradation activity of Z-scheme (1:0.03) CdS/CuInS 2 heterojunction is about 4 times than that of pure CuInS 2 , which is due to the narrowest band gap, the largest BET surface area, the most efficient charge separation and transfer, and the synergistic effect between CdS and CuInS 2 . Meanwhile, Z-scheme (1:0.03) CdS/CuInS 2 heterojunction also exhibits excellent photocatalytic reduction activity with almost 100% of aqueous Cr(VI) reduction efficiency in absence of hole scavengers after 60 min. The special significance is that Z-scheme (1:0.03)CdS/CuInS 2 heterojunction shows excellent stability in five degradation cycles, and can effectively treat real pharmaceutical wastewater with 76.5% COD removal efficiency with aid of H 2 O 2 in 13 h, indicating that Z-scheme CdS/CuInS 2 has a promising prospect in real pharmaceutical wastewater treatment.

Magnetic nanoparticle-multiwalled carbon nanotubes composites (MNP/MWCNTs) were prepared using 1,6-hexanediamine functionalized Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (MNP) linked to carboxylic MWCNTs by facile one-pot solvothermal synthesis for highly efficient removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The easily obtained magnetic nanocomposites were systematically characterized, and several major factors affecting the adsorption-based removal were investigated, including solution pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature and contact time. The removal efficiency was highly dependent on solution pH; low pH facilitated removal with the maximum efficiency at pH 2.0. The adsorption isotherm was well fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model and the adsorption capacity increased with the temperature increasing. The adsorption kinetic data could be well described by the pseudo-second-order and the intraparticle diffusion models, indicating that the intraparticle diffusion was not the only rate-limiting step. The MNP/MWCNTs displayed excellent selectivity and high anti-interference ability toward Cr(VI) when confronted with commonly coexisting ions. By using an external magnetic field, the exhausted MNP/MWCNTs could be readily separated from the solution after adsorption of Cr(VI) and well regenerated, and could keep about 80% removal efficiency in the fifth adsorption-desorption cycle. The simple, rapid and reliable MNP/MWCNT-based method proved to be a cost-effective, convenient and potentially applicable way to targeted pollutant removal and wastewater treatment .

A chemically modified alginate beads for heavy metal removal was prepared using polyethylenimine (PEI) as a modification reagent, which high density active sites were introduced favorably onto the surface by cross-linking reaction, leading to the designing of flexible core-shell/bead-like alginate@PEI sorbent and employed for the adsorption of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. This new sorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) etc. The results demonstrated that the optimized pH value was observed at 2.0. The adsorption processes fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm in a batch system. The experimental maximum adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) was 431.6 mg/g under an optimal testing condition, which was much higher than that of sodium alginate (SA) (24.2 mg/g). Thomas and Bohart–Adams models were successfully fitted with breakthrough curves obtained under different experimental conditions in a continuous column process. More importantly, the adsorption capacity of the alginate@PEI only showed a slight loss after ten cycles of adsorption-desorption studies. Compared to other reported adsorptive materials, this core-shell/bead-like composite promises advantages of ultra-high adsorption capacity, low-cost, environmental friendliness and excellent recycling performance.

In this study, carbon nitride was loaded into the titanium incorporated SBA-15 mesoporous silica (denoted as Ti-SBA15-CN) by a two-step vapor condensation of dicyandiamide. The as-prepared sample was characterized by various spectroscopy techniques. Photocatalytic reduction of Cr (VI) in aqueous solution was investigated using Ti-SBA15-CN under visible-light irradiation. By introducing Ti into the SBA-15 framework structure, the visible light driven photocatalytic activity of the obtained Ti-SBA15-CN was higher than SBA15-CN and the photocatalytic activity exhibited a rise with the increase of Ti contents. It was because the presence of Ti moiety could promote the separation of the photo-generated charge carriers in carbon nitride, leading to the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity. The addition of phenol further enhanced the photocatalytic reduction of Cr (VI). Similarly, the presence of Cr (VI) promoted the degradation of phenol. The synergistic effect between the reduction of Cr (VI) and the degradation of phenol provided salutary method for purification of the complex waste water and environmental restoration.

Considering the potential effects of physical and chemical properties and morphology on photocatalytic performance, La doped Bi 2 WO 6 nanosheets (La/Bi 2 WO 6 -NS) were synthesized by immersion method using Na 2 WO 4 ·2 H 2 O, Bi(NO 3 ) 3 ·5 H 2 O and La(NO 3 ) 3 as raw materials. The synthesized La/Bi 2 WO 6 -NS was characterized by SEM, TEM, XPS, XRD, UV–vis, PL, I-t and EIS. The enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of La/Bi 2 WO 6 -NS in the degradation of tetracycline (TC) and reduction of chromium (VI) can be attributed to the oxygen vacancy level generated by La doping, which played a crucial role in improving the performance of Bi 2 WO 6 -NS. Moreover, the unique 2D nanosheets feature afforded abundant active sites and endowed an enhanced the visible light response, further improved photocatalytic performance. Additionally, 4 % La/Bi 2 WO 6 -NS exhibited extraordinary the simultaneously photocatalytic degradation of Cr(VI)/TC efficiency with 92.0 % and 90.8 %, which are much higher than that of single Cr(VI) and TC. Combining of the experimental confirmations and the deep DFT calculations, the synergistic photocatalytic mechanism of the synthesized material was investigated systematically.
