A new hydrothermal carbon was prepared by a “one-pot” hydrothermal transformation of β-cyclodextrin on silica microspheres (noted as [email protected] microspheres), which was featuring as a new stationary phase for the hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC). The synthesized [email protected] possessed polar groups of hydroxyl, carbonyl and carboxyl groups arising from the carbonization transformation of β-cyclodextrin. As demonstrating great hydrophilicity, the [email protected] was applied as an excellent HILIC stationary phase for the separation of polar compounds including phenols and the endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). In comparison with commercial available HILIC stationary phases, the separation performance of the [email protected] stationary phase was superior in the separation of phenols and EDCs. The mild hydrothermal carbon transformation of the β-cyclodextrin on the silica microspheres in the “one-pot” manner would represent a new and simple approach to prepare a new class of saccharide-derived stationary phases by using saccharides as precursors.

Due to the limitation of the existing solvents, the phenols recovery process cannot control phenols concentration to less than 300 mg/L. Therefore, this study presented a synergistic phenols extraction process by using optimal design solvent mixture. The solvent mixture was proposed with the volume ratio of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) to n-pentanol 6:4. The synergistic extraction process was simulated to acquire the parameters with treatment 130 t/h coal gasification wastewater. The removal efficiencies of phenols and treatment costs for the synergistic extraction process had been addressed. The removal efficiency of total phenols can reach to 97.0% after two-stage extraction, and the concentration of total phenols can be decreased from 6273 mg/L to 190 mg/L. Compared with single solvent MIBK, the reduction of phenols emissions is 47.2% by proposed solvent mixture. The operation cost and income of crude phenols showed that synergistic extraction process realized profit about 3.35 CNY/t. Given the removal efficiencies and treatment costs, the solvent mixture (60% MIBK, 40% n-pentanol) is very promising for phenols removal.

In order to enhance the properties of polymer anion-exchange membranes (AEMs), a class of side-chain-type poly (arylene ether sulfone)s containing tri-imidazole cations in pendant phenoxyphenyl spacer (i.e., Im-PES-xx) were designed and prepared by polymer grafting reaction. Based on these imidazole functionalized polymers, a series of new AEMs were successfully prepared by their solution coating and ion exchange. The obtained membranes exhibited good alkaline stability with the retention of ion-exchange capacity in the range of 78.5%–83.3% after immersion in 4 M NaOH solution at 80 °C for 336 h. The membranes also had high hydroxide conductivity with the values of 34.1–70.5 mS cm −1 at 80 °C. Meanwhile, these membranes possessed good dimensional stability, and their swelling ratio was in the range of 2.5%–7.0% at 80 °C. The incorporation of the dense and local imidazole cations in the side chains for AEMs plays an important role for their properties.

A novel multi amine-containing Gemini surfactant (including four positively charged N) modified organo-montmorillonite (GMt) was prepared and served as adsorbents of phenol, o-chlorophenol (2-CP) and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP). The structure and morphology of GMt were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherms (BET) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). A batch technique was applied to investigate the influence of various factors, and the results illustrated that the saturated intercalation concentration of the modifier was 0.8 times to the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the original Na-Mt and the adsorption was pH dependent, the optimum adsorption occurred at pH = 10, 7, 5 for phenol, 2-CP and 2,4,6-TCP, respectively. At the same conditions, the adsorption capacities of original Na-Mt were only 8.29 mg/g, 26.20 mg/g and 39.13 mg/g for three phenolic pollutants, while the maximum equilibrium adsorption amounts were 81.68 mg/g, 336.59 mg/g and 535.49 mg/g for phenol, 2-CP and 2,4,6-TCP, respectively. The adsorption kinetics of all the three phenols was in good agreement with the pseudo-second order kinetics model . The adsorption isotherm of 2,4,6-TCP was abided by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm, however, phenol and 2-CP were better modeled by Freundlich isotherm. The negative values of ∆ G ° and positive values of ∆ H ° got from thermodynamic study confirmed that the adsorption of 2-CP and 2,4,6-TCP on GMt was a physical, spontaneous and endothermic process . The adsorption process of phenol was an exothermic process. Both adsorption and partition contributed to the adsorption of these three phenols to organo-montmorillonite.

We propose a surface atom engineering strategy to obtain a well-dispersed Co-incorporated MoS2 nanomaterial, which maximizes the Co–Mo–S phase and achieves high activity in hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of lignin-derived phenolic compounds. It was shown by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Ramanspectroscopy, high-sensitivity low-energy ion scattering, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy that plenty of accessible Co–Mo–S phase were generated on the catalyst surface, which could accelerate the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reaction. Notably, most of the Co–Mo–S phases were located at the top surface of MoS2, which explained the full deoxygenation performance of the CoMoS catalyst. Moreover, among the diverse lignin-derived oxygenated compounds, phenolic hydroxyl HDO was structure-sensitive relative to diphenyl ether over Co-doped MoS2 catalysts. Effective conversion of mixed phenols to corresponding arenes such as BTX (benzene, toluene, and xylene) with high yield (>85%) and stable recyclability was exhibited by using the CoMoS catalyst with highly dispersed Co–Mo–S phase.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) is a visible light active semiconductor. However, low conductivity and high recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes limit its application in photocatalysis. In this work, we design and synthesize hierarchically porous zinc oxide/graphitic carbon nitride (ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 ) microspheres with type-II heterojunction to effectively degrade rhodamine B (RhB) via increasing the charge-separation efficiency. The ultraviolet-visible (UV–Vis) absorption spectra, Mott-Schottky plots and valence band X-ray photoelectron spectroscope confirm the formation of type-II heterojunction between ZnO nanocrystals and g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. As a result, the 1.5-ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 composite (the mass ratio of zinc acetate dihydrate to g-C 3 N 4 is 1.5) exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity with good stability and higher photocatalytic degradation rate comparing to pure g-C 3 N 4 and pure ZnO. In addition, our results confirm that O 2 − and h + are the main active species for ZnO/g-C 3 N 4 in degradation of RhB.

The deployment of an efficient catalyst is critical for successful application of peroxymonosulfate-based advanced oxidation processes to the rapid degradation of retardant organics in wastewater. Considering the rich properties of perovskite oxides and their drawbacks of low specific area and easy cation leaching, we reported a facile postsynthesis hydrothermal treatment method for preparing SrCo0.6Ti0.4O3−δ@CoOOH (SCT@CoOOH) nanocomposite as an efficient catalyst for PMS activation here. Surprisingly, CoOOH nanosheets were grown in situ over the surface of SCT substrate, resulting in a significantly increased surface area (22.1 m2 g–1), enhanced charge transfer capability, more generated surface oxygen defects and a strongly synergistic effect created between the bulk SCT and CoOOH surface layer. Remarkably, SCT@CoOOH exhibited higher (1.7 times) catalytic activity (0.84 mg L–1 min–1) for phenol degradation than SCT. Additionally, suppressed cobalt leaching was demonstrated in the SCT@CoOOH/PMS system. Notably, singlet oxygen as additional oxidative species were formed to accelerate phenol degradation in the radical-based SCT@CoOOH/PMS system due to the surface oxygen defects. The beneficial effect of higher pH value and different influence of foreign anions on the reation rate were also investigated. As a universal method, it may be also useful for the development of innovative functional materials for other various applications.

Deep desulfurization of fuels has attracted worldwide attention as a result of environmental concerns. In this study, a new series of protic ionic liquids (PILs) with different acidic anions were synthesized and the extraction desulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT), benzothiophene (BT), and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (DMDBT) in model oil was carried out. The result showed that the extraction efficiency of DBT decreased in the order of [1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene] ([DBU]) > [N-formylmorpholine] ([NFM]) > [N-methylimidazole] ([HMIM]) > [N-methylmorpholine] ([NMM]) while the PIL anion was formate and DBU-based PILs with different anions could remove more than 80% DBT and BT in 1 cycle. The extraction efficiencies of [DBU]Pr were 98.33% for DBT (from 500 to 8.35 ppm) and 98.67% for BT (from 500 to 6.65 ppm) after 3 extraction cycles. The value for DMDBT was 99.38% (from 500 to 3.10 ppm) after 5 cycles. The interaction energies of these PILs with three aromatic sulfur compounds were also studied through quantum chemistry calculation. Finally, the regeneration of the used PIL was performed by the back-extraction method and checked by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance.

A facile, low-cost, and effective sensing strategy for detection of picric acid (PA) was developed based on copper nanoclusters (CuNCs). In this strategy, highly fluorescent CuNCs were prepared by using copper nitrate and ascorbic acid through an environmentally friendly process. Also, the PA-induced fluorescence quenching mechanism was investigated through ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, and fluorescence lifetimes, and might be ascribed to the molecular interactions and the strong inner filter effect between the CuNCs and PA. Under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence quenching degree of as-synthesized CuNCs was linearly dependent on the concentration of PA within a wide linear range of 2–40 μM, and the limit of detection was 0.98 μM. Finally, the proposed method was successfully applied to detect the levels of PA in real water samples.

The detection of nitroaromatic explosives is important due to their strong explosive force and harmfulness in the environment, and for homeland security and public safety. Herein, a phosphorescence CaTiO3:Pr3+@SiO2 nanosensor was successfully developed for the sensitive and selective detection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). The red-emitting phosphorescent chemosensor CaTiO3:Pr3+@SiO2 possessed a long enough phosphorescence lifetime of 0.016 s. The TNP induced phosphorescence quenching process of CaTiO3:Pr3+@SiO2 presented a wide linearity with TNP concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 100 μM, and the detection limit was found to be 20.6 nM. Furthermore, this sensor displayed a high selectivity toward TNP over other structurally similar compounds like 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), 4-nitrotoluene (NT), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), 4-nitrophenol (NP) and phenol. This sensing system was successfully used in the test of TNP concentrations in water samples, and showed great potential for practical application.

We employed four radical inhibitors to investigate their influences on the degradation of poly (4-vinylbenzyl chloride-styrene) based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) in alkaline solutions. It is found that the presence of the radical inhibitors could effectively restrain the nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ions to the AEMs according to the conductivity measurements, especially the one p -ethyl phenol (PEP), which could significantly protect the AEMs against the attack. More evidences including water uptake, swelling ratio as well as FT-IR analysis further proved this phenomenon by comparison those properties of the membranes before and after the stability test in 8 M KOH at 80 °C for 24 h. According to the 1 H NMR spectra, the quaternary ammonium groups of the AEMs were mainly degraded into tertiary amines in the hot alkaline solutions; while in the presence of PEP, this degradation was restrained and the quaternary ammonium groups maintained by reaction with PEP. Fenton test results further indicated that high oxidative stability of the AEMs benefited from the presence of a small amount of PEP, which could reduce the generation of the oxidants. Thus an inhibition reaction mechanism of the radical inhibitors preventing the AEMs from alkaline degradation is proposed.

Four kinds of dual-functionalized ionic liquids (DFILs, [Et 2 NEmim][Cl] 2 , [Et 2 NEmmor][Cl] 2 , [Et 2 NEmpyr][Cl] 2 and [Et 2 NEmpic][Cl] 2 ) were synthesized and used to efficiently separate phenolic compounds from model oils. The effects of stirring time, temperature, mole ratio of DFIL to phenol and initial phenol content on the separation were investigated. The results indicate that at a DFIL:phenol mole ratio of 0.3, the content of phenol in the oil phase can reach the minimum value and the extraction efficiency of phenol is more than 96%. The minimum phenol content in the oil phase and the best phenol extraction efficiency were 5.9 g/m 3 and 98.5%, respectively, when [Et 2 NEmpyr][Cl] 2 was used. Compared with traditional ionic liquids, these DFILs not only reduce the dosage of extraction agents but also greatly decrease the content of Cl − in the oil phase due to the double anion in the DFILs. The DFILs can be reused for 4 cycles without losses in phenol extraction efficiency and masses of the DFILs. The separation mechanism of extraction was studied using FT-IR. The result indicates that the two anions Cl − on DFILs can form a hydrogen bond with phenol.
