Fabrication of disposable gold working electrodes in bulk is desirable for their extensive application in electrochemical detection . In this paper the gold film electrodes were prepared by sputtering the gold film with the thickness of ∼12 nm on the double sided conductive carbon tape. The gold film coated carbon tape could be used like stickers with small square pieces and attached on ITO glass for fabrication of disposable gold film electrodes. The electrochemical responses of the gold film modified electrodes on Cr(VI) in acidic solutions were similar to previous gold electrodes, suggesting the similar mechanism as before. Cr(VI) could be determined by the amperometric method with the detection limit of 0.7 μg L −1 (0.013 μM), which was significantly improved compared with previously reported disposable gold-based electrodes. The batch-by-batch (n = 20) reproducibility of the fabricated electrodes was 7.3% at 50 μg L −1 and 3.8% at 5.0 mg L −1 , respectively. The disposable electrodes could be applied to quantify Cr(VI) in real samples including plastics, tap water and lake water with results in agreement with those obtained with HPLC-ICP-MS. This study provides a simple and effective alternative for preparation of disposable gold film electrodes.

In this study, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) with a considerably high surface area (182.97 m 2 ·g −1 ) and featured morphology of chain structure has been synthesized and well characterized. The as-prepared nZVI on can totally remove Cr(VI) under anoxic condition after 20 min reaction, whereas only 43% of Cr(VI) was removed after 60 min reaction under oxic condition. Noteworthily, the nZVI exhibits excellent removal capacity of Cr(VI) (123.85 mg/g) and fast removal rate (0.017 g·mg −1 ·min −1 ), much better than those reported in the literatures except for that reported by Li et al. (2008) [1] . Experimental results have confirmed that only FeCr 2 O 4 with low compactness was generated under anoxic and acidic conditions in the new process. And it is evident that the formation of the passivation layer which contains oxides and hydroxides (or (oxy)hydroxides) of iron and chromium were well hindered. Furthermore, the as-prepared nZVI has shown fast removal of traced Cr(VI) from the Cr-spiked drinking water or actual Cr-contaminated lake water. Accordingly, we proposed a new reaction process of Cr(VI) reduction by nZVI under anoxic condition. And we firstly make clear the detailed process of Cr(VI) removal by the as-prepared nZVI via X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) analysis in time scale. Meanwhile, the excellent Cr(VI) removal performance of the as-prepared nZVI could be attributed to (i) the high surface area, (ii) large quantity of active sites of nZVI, and (iii) fast electron transfer from the nZVI/FeCr 2 O 4 to Cr(VI). The present work not only provides the potential materials for the application to the rapid and high-efficient removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution, but also proposed a new avenue for hindering the passivation of Fe 0 . And a detailed mechanism of the Cr(VI) removal by nZVI was proposed for the first time.

In the present work, reduction of Cr(VI) induced by UV–visible light in aqueous solution was investigated. The aqueous medium contained TiO2 nanosheets and no additional reducing agents or hole scavengers. A hydrothermal method was used to synthesize fluorinated TiO2 nanostructures with various percentages of exposed {001} facets and initial F/Ti ratios. Fluorine-free TiO2 nanosheets were obtained by washing the TiO2 samples with NaOH solution. The surface fluorination facilitates the adsorption process by increasing the number of surface OH groups generated. Moreover, fluorination efficiently inhibits the recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. The {001} facets have an indirect role in the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) because oxidative dissolution of H2O occurring on {001} facets and Cr(VI) reduction occurring on {101} facets are simultaneous reactions. The optimal ratio of exposed {001} to {101} was found to be ∼72:18.

Graphene plays a decisive role in the electrocatalytic copolymerization of aniline and m-aminophenol. The electrochemical activity of the obtained copolymer has an improved pH dependence compared with polyaniline. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, atomic force microscope, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy reveal the ion exchange behaviors of the copolymer, indicating that it could be a potential candidate for the effective electrochemical removal of toxic Cr(VI) from industrial wastewater.

Pollutants that exist in anionic species are issues of concern in water treatment . Compared to cationic pollutants, the removal of anionic pollutants by adsorption is more difficult because most adsorbents carry predominantly negative charges in neutral and alkaline environments . In this study, a cross-linked chitosan derivative with quaternary ammonium and magnetic properties (QM-chitosan) was prepared and employed to remove chromium(VI) and phosphorus(V) (Cr(VI) and P(V)) from aqueous environments. The QM-chitosan was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) and zeta potential . Batch experiments show that QM-chitosan can effectively remove Cr(VI) and P(V), and the main mechanism was believed to be electrostatic interaction. A pseudosecond-order model was fitted to describe the kinetic processes of Cr(VI) and P(V) removal. The adsorption isotherms of both Cr(VI) and P(V) on the QM-chitosan were well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm equation. The saturated adsorption capacity of P(V) (2.783 mmol/g) was found to be higher than that of Cr(VI) (2.323 mmol/g), resulting from the size of the H 2 PO 4 − ions being smaller than that of the HCrO 4 − ions. However, the theoretical calculation and experimental results showed that QM-chitosan had a stronger affinity for Cr(VI) than P(V). The adsorption–desorption of the QM-chitosan was evaluated, and high regeneration rates were demonstrated.

A facile microwave irradiation method has been successfully developed for the controllable fabrication of BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) nanostructures in mannitol solution. The morphology and size of BiOX nanostructures could be readily tailored by adjusting the amount of halide, reaction precursor, and mannitol concentration. Mannitol molecule acts as both a capping agent and a cohesive agent in the formation of BiOX nanostructures. A possible two-stage formation mechanism was discussed based on the morphology evolution of BiOI nanostructures obtained in mannitol solution with different concentrations. The as-synthesized BiOX nanostructures exhibit much higher photocatalytic activities than that of commercial TiO 2 . In particular, flower-like BiOX hierarchical nanostructures display the best photocatalytic performance, which is mainly ascribed to their unique hierarchical structure, high BET surface area, and large band gap. Moreover, BiOX nanostructures also demonstrate superior Cr(VI) removal capacity. The Cr(VI) adsorption behavior was also analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms.

In this work, a simple “red-to-blue” colorimetric method for highly sensitive and selective determination of Cr (III) and Cr (VI) was presented, which was based on the aggregation of Tween 20-stabilized gold nanoparticles (Tween 20-Au NPs). This strategy relied upon the distance-dependent optical properties of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), strong chelating between Cr (III) and citrate, and the reduction of Cr (VI) to Cr (III) by ascorbic acid (AA). Cr (III) could chelate with citrate to form a stable Cr (III)-citrate complex and thereby induce the aggregation of Tween 20-Au NPs. Thus, the sensing of Cr (III) and Cr (VI) based on aggregation of Au NPs was developed with the color of the Au NPs changing from red to blue, which was readily seen by the naked eye. The color change and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption were used to monitor Cr (III) and Cr (VI) levels. Under the optimal assay conditions, good linear relationship was obtained, and the detection limit of Cr (III) and Cr (VI) were 0.016 μM and 0.009 μM in standard aqueous solution, respectively. Furthermore, the colorimetric method exhibited a good selectivity over other metal ions and was successfully applied to detect Cr (III) and Cr (VI) in real water samples.

A series of HZSM-5 supported CrO x catalysts at different loadings were prepared by wet impregnation method for catalytic combustion of dichloromethane (DCM) in this paper. The catalytic activity tests indicated that both DCM conversion and product selectivity varied greatly with Cr doping contents. The sample at 2 wt% loading showed the highest DCM conversion, while the selectivity toward CO/CO 2 increased at an elevated CrO x loading. The characterization results revealed that the surface acidity and the chemical states of Cr were strongly affected by the doping content. The surface acidity would decline at an elevated Cr loading owing to the interactions between surface OH groups and chromium ions. And higher surface Cr(VI)/Cr(III) ratios could be observed on the catalysts at lower CrO x doping, leading to the improvement of reducibility. The activity and selectivity of DCM catalytic degradation were found to be highly depended on the balance of surface acidity and redox property. The increased surface acidity could result in the enhancement of dissociated adsorption of DCM, which are beneficial to the catalytic activity. However, higher surface acidity meant lower Cr loading, which might lead the adsorbed intermediates incompletely oxidized and the decrease in CO x selectivity due to the limit redox ability.

Highly dispersed metallic nanoparticles immobilizing inside the pores of MIL-101(Cr) were prepared using double solvent method (DSM). The particle size of Au, Ag, Pd, and AuPd NPs were 2.9 ± 0.7 nm, 1.9 ± 0.6 nm, 2.1 ± 0.6 nm and 2.8 ± 0.7 nm, respectively. The catalytic activity determined by the reduction of p-nitrophenol by NaBH 4 to p-aminophenol of Pd and AuPd prepared by DSM is 9.6 and 8.3 times higher than that of Pd and AuPd prepared by conventional impregnation method. The structure and activity of the catalysts prepared by DSM have no significant changes after three cycles.

In this study, polyethylenimine-functionalized corn bract (PEI–CB) was first used to remove aqueous Cr(VI) via the “waste control by waste” concept. The results indicated that PEI–CB had an excellent performance for Cr(VI) removal and the maximum removal capacity was 438 mg/g. The adsorption of Cr(VI) was fitted to the Langmuir model, and kinetics of uptake could be described by a pseudo-second-order rate model well. Amine was proven to be the active center for Cr(VI) adsorption and partial reduction to Cr(III), while removal efficiency was enhanced at a lower pH value and higher temperature. Besides, nanosized Cr2O3 with a high purity was obtained by simple calcination of a Cr(VI)-laden adsorbent. Hence, this study provided a novel strategy for Cr(VI) wastewater remediation and pure Cr2O3 recovery. Prepared PEI–CB was then a promising alternative of low cost for replacement of the current expensive absorbent of removing Cr(VI) from wastewater from the view of sustainability.

Zero-valent iron (Fe 0 ) usually suffers from organic acid complexation and ferrochrome layer passivation in Cr(VI) removal from bioleached wastewater of Cr slag. In this work, a synergetic system combined Fe 0 and mixed hetero/autotrophic bacteria was established to reduce and stabilize Cr(VI) from bioleached wastewater. Due to bacterial consumption of organic acid and hydrogen, severe iron corrosion and structured-Fe(II) mineral generation (e.g., magnetite and green rust) occurred on biotic Fe 0 surface in terms of solid-phase characterization, which was crucial for Cr(VI) adsorption and reduction. Therefore, compared with the abiotic Fe 0 system, this integrated system exhibited a 6.1-fold increase in Cr(VI) removal, with heterotrophic reduction contributing 3.4-fold and abiotic part promoted by hydrogen-autotrophic bacteria enhancing 2.7-fold. After reaction, the Cr valence distribution and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that most Cr(VI) was converted into immobilized products such as Fe x Cr 1-x (OH) 3 , Cr 2 O 3 , and FeCr 2 O 4 by biotic Fe 0 . Reoxidation experiment revealed that these products exhibited superior stability to the immobilized products generated by Fe 0 or bacteria. Additionally, organic acid concentration and Fe 0 dosage showed significantly positive correlation with Cr(VI) removal within the range of biological adaptation, which emphasized that heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria acted essential roles in Cr(VI) removal. This work highlighted the enhanced effect of heterotrophic and autotrophic activities on Cr(VI) reduction and stabilization by Fe 0 and offered a promising approach for bioleached wastewater treatment .

Hypothesis Hexavalent chromium, recognized as one of the most toxic heavy metals, demands the development of advanced materials capable of both adsorption and photocatalysis for effective Cr (VI) removal. Experiments This study successfully synthesized a two-dimensional zinc porphyrin covalent organic framework (ZnPor-COF) via a solvent-based method. Performance evaluations have demonstrated that the ZnPor-COF possesses outstanding capabilities for the adsorptive and/or photocatalytic elimination of Cr (VI). Particularly noteworthy is the observation that when adsorption and photocatalysis are coupled, the ZnPor-COF attains an exceptional 99.7 % removal rate for a Cr (VI) concentration of 30 mg/L within just 60 min, with minimal susceptibility to coexisting ions. After five consecutive cycles, the material sustains a removal efficiency of 90 %, indicative of its robust cyclability. Findings Theoretical calculations, as well as experimental validations, have indicated that the integration of Zn ions into the porphyrin COF not only results in an expanded specific surface area and an increased count of adsorption sites but also significantly improves the COF’s photosensitivity and the capability for charge carrier separation. Furthermore, the core of the synergistic effect between adsorption and photocatalysis lies in the ability of photocatalysis to substantially augment the adsorption process.
