Photocatalytic fibrous membranes are regarded as one of the most proficient materials for environmental remediation because of their excellent photocatalytic activity, porous structure, and outstanding recyclability. However, the poor dispersion performance of photocatalysts in the polymer matrix and the low migration ability to the surface constrain the development of this technology. In this study, a versatile strategy was developed to facilitate the design of hydrophilic nanofibrous membranes with promising photocatalytic activity and robust recyclability by combining the loaded rare earth element La 3+ modified TiO 2 photocatalyst, introducing hyperbranched polymers as dispersants within electro-centrifugal spinning, and applying post-treatment to construct hydrophilic sites. Significantly, the removal efficiency of the fibrous membrane materials on the dye wastewater was as high as 89.34 %, and the treatment efficiency can still reach 81.68 % after five cycles. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism for the degradation of organic pollutants was also analyzed. This work provides a new method for building advanced photocatalytic nanofibrous membranes, which is expected to be used in the treatment and remediation of environmental wastewater.

Herein, we present a strategy for supporting bromine as a catalyst for the oxidation of sulfides. In this strategy, branched poly(ethylene imine) was first decorated by magnetic oxide and then used to support liquid bromine to obtain solid polymeric bromine (M@PEI@Br) nanoparticles. Compared with free bromine, the stability of the M@PEI@Br nanoparticles improved obviously. The oxidation of thioanisole to methyl phenyl sulfoxide was chosen as a reaction model to evaluate the catalytic activity of the M@PEI@Br nanoparticles. All of the obtained results verify that the M@PEI@Br nanoparticles exhibited excellent catalytic efficiency and could accelerate the oxidation process under solvent-free conditions at room temperature; this highlighted the potential of decorated polymers to support active and unstable small-molecule organic catalysts. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A series of pyrrolo[2,3,4-kl]acridin-1-one derivatives were successfully synthesized from facile materials (enaminone and isatin) using a reusable solid acid as catalyst in water. A variety of structurally diverse enaminones and various isatins bearing different functional groups tolerated the reaction and gave the corresponding goal products with good to excellent yields. Advantages of this strategy include the mild conditions, operational simplicity, being convenient and environmentally benign, and the reusability of the heterogeneous catalyst. A mechanism was proposed to explain the formation of different substituted pyrrolo[2,3,4-kl]acridin-1-one derivatives.

The absorbent materials synthesized from biosources with low cost and high selectivity for oils and organic solvents have attracted increasing attention in the field of oil spillage and discharge of organic chemicals. We developed a convenient surface-grafting method to prepare efficient and recyclable biobased aerogels from epoxidized soybean oil (ESO)-modified cellulose at room temperature. The porous network-like structure of the cellulose aerogel was still fully retained after undergoing hydrophobic modification with ESO. Moreover, the modified aerogels possessed excellent hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 132.6°. Moreover, the absorbent ability of the hydrophobic cellulose aerogels was systematically assessed. The results showed that modified aerogels could retain more than 90% absorption capacity even after 30 absorption–desorption cycles, indicating that the ESO-grafted cellulose aerogels have practical applications in the oil–water separation from industrial wastewater and oil-leakage removal.

Hypothesis The effective separation and recovery of oils from water is important for the protections of ecosystems and the environment. Polymeric porous monoliths have been demonstrated as attractive absorbents for oil/water separation. However, the recyclability was mainly realized by squeezing, combustion, or centrifugation, which may restrict in elastic materials, destroy the adsorbates or need special apparatus. Thus it is desirable to developing monoliths with controllable oil absorption and desorption. Experiments A series of “smart” monoliths with pH-induced switchable wettability were fabricated by high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) polymerization and epoxide ring-opening for the incorporation of amine groups. The resultant monoliths and their wettabilities were examined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption/desorption and contact angle analysis, respectively. The oil separation efficiency and recyclability were evaluated. Findings The monoliths with macroporous structure can undergo switchable wettability under reversible pH stimulation. As an absorbent, the monoliths not only separated and recovered organic solvents and oils (including crude oil) from aqueous mixtures through a reversible and recyclable absorption and desorption process upon alternating the pH between 7.0 and 1.0, but also continuously expulsed oils from water surfaces in a continuous manner with the aid of external driving pressures. Moreover, the monoliths also allowed the effective separation of surfactant-free and surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions with high separation efficiency.

Ultra-small Au nanoparticles (<2 nm) supported on hollow silica nanospheres were successfully fabricated with the aid of chemical modification (–SH groups) or through simple immersion method, leading to supported catalysts Au/SH-HNS and Au/HNS. The resulting solid catalysts showed good thermal stability and the small particle sizes could be remained even at high temperature of 350 °C. Such catalysts were catalytically active in the oxidation of styrene using O2 as oxidant under 1 atm pressure. The catalytic results showed that the activity strongly depends on the Au loading amount, and the loading of 4–5 wt% led to the highest activity. Significant rate enhancement was observed with gold nanoparticles supported on pure silica in comparison with thiol modified silica nanospheres, suggesting the negative effects of thiol groups. The solid catalyst could be reused at least 8 reaction cycles without significant decrease in activity and selectivity. This study not only supplies an active, recoverable catalyst for the green transformation of styrene, but also demonstrates that the hollow silica nanosphere material has a superior ability in stabilizing metal nanoparticles against growth.

Reduced graphene oxide functionalized with magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and –PhSO 3 H groups (Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H) was reported for environmentally benign hydrolysis of cellulosic materials, which is an important process in integrated utilization of biomass resource. Except for –PhSO 3 H groups, –COOH and –OH groups derived from graphene oxide (GO) were also expected in the structure of Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H. Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H exhibited outstanding catalytic performance for the hydrolysis of cellulosic materials, due to its crumpling feature with clear layers and the coexistence of –COOH and –OH groups. The unique structure of Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H favors the accessibility of cellulose to the active sites of the material and facilitates the diffusion of the product molecules. –COOH groups on the surface of the material provide a large concentration of acidic functionality for hydrolyzing cellulose, while –OH groups readily adsorb cellulose through forming strong hydrogen bonds between –OH groups and the oxygen atoms in β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Furthermore, Fe 3 O 4 -RGO-SO 3 H can also be easily separated from the reaction residue with an extra magnetic force and further used at least five times.

This new method consistently has the advantages of excellent yields and short reaction times. Further, the catalyst can be reused and recovered several times. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
