The photocatalytic degradation of chloramphenicol with electrospun Bi₂O₂CO₃-poly(ethylene oxide) nanofibers: the synthesis of crosslinked polymer, degradation kinetics, mechanism and cytotoxicity.

ABSTRACT: Insoluble poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) nanofibers were synthesized by adding pentaerythrotol triacrylate (PETA) into precursor solutions prior to electrospinning, and then the obtained fibers were exposed to an electron beam (EB) irradiation. Bi₂O₂CO₃ was incorporated into these fibers to extend their photocatalytic properties. Studies confirmed that EB irradiation induced characteristic changes in PEO and led to the formation of a crosslinked structure, from which we optimized the irradiation dose of fibers as 210 kGy. The optimum PEO/Bi₂O₂CO₃ membranes achieved 99.5% CPL degradation within 60 min, and we also proposed the possible degradation pathways of CPL in this study. Besides, all the water samples and extracts of nanomaterials showed no cytotoxicity on L-929 cells. The subtle variations in the cell viability of treated and untreated water samples could be due to the toxic intermediates arising from the photocatalytic process. Therefore, this photocatalyst-polymer membrane can be considered as a biocompatible composite system that can change the solubility of a polymer and also act as a highly efficient photocatalyst for organic wastewater treatments.

Project description:TiO2 nanofibers were fabricated by combination of sol-gel and electrospinning techniques. Ag-doped TiO2 nanofibers with different Ag contents were prepared by two different methods (in situ electrospinning or wetness impregnation of Ag on TiO2 nanofibers) and heat treated at 500 °C for 2 h under an air or N2 atmosphere. The obtained catalysts were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence, and N2 adsorption analyzed by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. Photocatalytic glucose conversions with electrospun TiO2 and Ag-doped TiO2 nanofibers for production of high-value products were carried out. From different doping methods, the results indicated that 1 wt % Ag-TiO2 nanofibers prepared by an in situ method with calcination under N2 achieved the highest glucose conversion (85.49%). From several Ag loading contents (i.e., 0, 1, 2, and 4 wt %) in Ag-doped TiO2 nanofibers, the nanofibers exhibited different glucose conversions [in order of 2 wt % (99.65%) > 1 wt % (85.49%) > 4 wt % (77.72%) > 0 wt % (29.64%)]. Arabinose, xylitol, gluconic acid, and formic acid were found as the high-value chemicals with the photocatalytic reaction of TiO2 and Ag-doped TiO2 nanofibers under UVA irradiation. Product yields of each converted chemicals from different photocatalysts from different Ag loading contents showed relatively same trends with the glucose conversion. From all results, it can be concluded that the good characteristics of 2 wt % Ag-TiO2 nanofibers such as the smallest anatase crystallite size (8.25 nm) and the highest specific surface area (S BET = 53.69 m2/g) promoted the highest photocatalytic activity. Additionally, TiO2 and Ag-doped TiO2 nanofibers exhibited higher photocatalytic performance for glucose conversion than commercial TiO2 (P25) and synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles. Finally, Ag-doped TiO2 nanofibers showed recycling ability with high photocatalytic glucose conversion after four-time use.
