Coupling Adsorption-Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue and Maxilon Red.

ABSTRACT: The MB and MR removal process by two mechanisms of adsorption using rice straw (absence of UV light) and photodegradation on TiO₂ surfaces was investigated. MB and MR removal efficiency were further intensified upon the sequential operation of adsorption followed by photocatalytic degradation over TiO₂ under visible light irradiation. The TiO₂ was used to remove methylene blue (MB) and Maxilon Red (MR) dye from aqueous media by continuous mode at 25 ± 2 °C, at pH 6.8 ± 0.2. Photo-illumination study revealed 75.81 and 65.51% MB and MR removal with the dose of 1 g/L TiO₂ with an initial concentration of 5 mg/L within 120 min. This study can be deemed of potential applications for the removal of MB and MR dyes on an industrial level using the synergistic adsorption-photocatalytic oxidation approach. A probable photodegradation mechanism was proposed.

Porous zinc-discs as nanocatalysts for methylene blue dye treatment in water: sensing, adsorption and photocatalytic degradation.

Project description:This paper reports a zinc derived (ZD) porous nanosystem that has been used for selective sensing, adsorption, and photocatalytic degradation of the known hazardous dye, Methylene blue (MB). Using zinc nitrate and 2-aminoterphthalic acid as precursors, the synthesis has been optimized to yield disc-shaped nanoparticles. This luminescent ZD nanoparticles exhibit absorption and emission wavelengths of 328 nm and 427 nm, respectively at an excitation wavelength of 330 nm. In the presence of MB, there is a sharp decrease in the photoluminescence emission intensity of ZD nanoparticles. The detection limit, quenching constant and the binding constant of ZD nanoparticles with MB are found to be 0.31 × 10-9 M, 3.30 × 106 M-1 and 2.27 × 106 M-1 respectively. The impact of contact time, initial MB concentration, and pH on the adsorption process were investigated. The equilibrium data fit well with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model (R 2 = 0.989) and superlatively fitted to the pseudo-second-order rate model (rate constant: 0.00011 g mg-1 min-1; adsorption capacity (q e, calc.): 386.1 mg g-1; R 2: 0.990). Further, the MB dye degradation was performed under ultra-violet irradiation and ∼95% MB degradation was achieved within 70 min. The experimental data are well fitted to the pseudo-first order kinetics (R 2: 0.99; rate constant: 0.015 min-1). These disc shaped ZD nanoparticles can not only facilitate the detection, but also the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of MB, which can be further processed for environmental remediation applications.

Effective photocatalytic degradation and physical adsorption of methylene blue using cellulose/GO/TiO2 hydrogels.

Project description:Environmentally friendly cellulose/GO/TiO2 hydrogel photocatalyst has been successfully fabricated via a green, simple, and one-step method and evaluated as the photocatalyst and adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB). The XRD and FTIR analysis suggested the strong interaction among cellulose, GO and TiO2, resulting from the formation of hydrogen bonds. Due to the unique porous structure of cellulose hydrogel and introduction of GO, the cellulose/GO/TiO2 hydrogel showed superior (degradation ratio ∼ 93%) and reproducible (no significant change during the ten consecutive cycles) performance in the removal of MB under UV light. Consequently, the prepared cellulose/GO/TiO2 hydrogel can be applied as an eco-friendly, high-performance, reproducible, and stable photocatalyst and adsorbent for the removal of MB. This green hydrogel is a promising candidate for dye wastewater treatment. Moreover, this work is expected to extend the scope of bio-templated synthesis of other nanomaterials for various applications.

BiOBr/Coal Gangue-Based SAPO-5 Molecular Sieve Nanocomposite for Enhanced Adsorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue.

Project description:The accumulation of organic pollutants and solid waste is one of the major environmental challenges faced globally. Establishing an efficient recycling system for solid waste and designing cost-effective, high-performance photocatalysts are urgent tasks for the removal of organic pollutants from water. This study utilizes coal gangue as the precursor to synthesize a coal gangue-based phosphorus-silicon-aluminum molecular sieve (SAPO-5) via hydrothermal synthesis. The resulting material was then composited with bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) to form a novel BiOBr/coal gangue-based SAPO-5 nanocomposite. When the mass ratio of BiOBr to coal gangue-based SAPO-5 molecular sieve is 0.3, the synthesized nanocomposite exhibits excellent adsorption and photocatalytic performance for the removal of methylene blue, achieving a removal rate of 97.8% and the mineralization rate of 57.4% within 30 min. The superior performance can be attributed to the optimal pore size, rapid charge transfer rate, and high photogenerated charge density of the BiOBr/coal gangue-based SAPO-5 nanocomposite. The novel BiOBr/coal gangue-based SAPO-5 molecular sieve nanocomposite catalyst presents a new approach for the harmless treatment of organic dye wastewater and the high-value utilization of coal gangue.

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of TiO₂-C hybrid aerogels for methylene blue degradation.

Project description:Carbon-based TiO₂ composites have many advantages as photocatalysts. However, they suffer from low light efficiency due to the low contrast of TiO₂ with carbon. We synthesized a novel type of anatase-type TiO₂-C hybrid aerogel by a one-pot sol-gel method, which shows a photocatalytic activity for methylene degradation up to 4.23 times that of P25, a commercial photocatalyst from Degussa Inc. The hybrid aerogels are prepared from TiCl₄ and resorcinol-furfural, and have a tunable macropore size from 167 to 996 nm. They are formed of submicrometer particles that consist of interwoven anatase and carbon nanoparticles. The anatase nanoparticles have a size of 8-9 nm and a tunable oxygen vacancy from 7.2 to 18.0%. The extremely high activity is ascribed to the large light absorption caused by macropore scattering and oxygen vacancies in the anatase. These findings may open up a new avenue and stimulate further research to improve photocatalytic performance.

SiC Foams for the Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue under Visible Light Irradiation.

Project description:SiC foams were synthesized by impregnating preceramic polymer into polyurethane foam templates, resulting in a photo-catalytically active material for the degradation of methylene blue. The crystalline structure, electronic properties, and photocatalytic performance of the SiC foams were characterized using a series of experimental techniques, including X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, N2 physisorption measurements, UV-visible spectroscopy, and methylene blue photodegradation tests. The original polyurethane template's microporous structure was maintained during the formation of the SiC foam, while additional mesopores were introduced by the porogen moieties added to the preceramic polymers. The prepared SiC-based photocatalyst showed attractive photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. This structured and reactive material offers good potential for application as a catalytic contactor or membrane reactor for the semi-continuous treatment of contaminated waste waters in ambient conditions.

Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue using a novel counter-rotating disc reactor.

Project description:Introduction: This research introduces an innovative photocatalytic reactor designed to address challenges in wastewater treatment, with a focus on enhancing dye degradation and reducing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). Methods: The reactor is designed with counter-rotational movements of discs to enhance hydrodynamics and mass transfer, along with a 3D-printed, interchangeable component system to boost efficacy. TiO2 nanoparticles, composed of 80% anatase and 20% rutile, are thermally immobilized on glass discs. The effectiveness of various treatment variables was assessed through a Central Composite Design (CCD), guided by a Response Surface Methodology (RSM) model. Results: The RSM analysis reveals that the linear, quadratic, and interactive effects of the counter-rotational movements significantly influence the efficiency of dye and COD removal. The RSM model yields coefficients of determination (R2) values of 0.9758 and 0.9765 for the predictive models of dye and COD removal, respectively. Optimized parameters for dye removal include a pH of 6.05, disc rotation speed of 22.35 rpm, initial dye concentration of 3.15 × 10-5 M, residence time of 7.98 h, and the number of nanoparticle layers set at 3.99, resulting in 96.63% dye removal and 65.81% COD removal under optimal conditions. Discussion: Notably, the reactor demonstrates potential for efficient treatment within a near-neutral pH range, which could reduce costs and resource use by eliminating the need for pH adjustments. The implementation of discs rotating in opposite directions marks a significant advancement in the process of dye removal.

Green Synthesis of Nano Zinc Oxide/Nanohydroxyapatite Composites Using Date Palm Pits Extract and Eggshells: Adsorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue.

Project description:In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) and nanohydroxyapatite (NHAP) were prepared in the presence of date palm pits extract (DPPE) and eggshells, respectively. Another four nanocomposites were prepared from ZnO and NHAP in different ratios (ZP13, ZP14, ZP15, and ZP16). DPPE and all nanomaterials were characterized using GC-MS, zeta potentials, particle size distributions, XRD, TEM, EDX, FTIR, and pHPZC. The characterization techniques confirmed the good distribution of ZnO nanoparticles on the surface of NHAP in the prepared composites. Particles were found to be in the size range of 42.3-66.1 nm. The DPPE analysis confirmed the presence of various natural chemical compounds which act as capping agents for nanoparticles. All the prepared samples were applied in the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under different conditions. ZP14 exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity (596.1 mg/g) at pH 8, with 1.8 g/L as the adsorbent dosage, after 24 h of shaking time, and the static adsorption kinetic process followed a PSO kinetic model. The photocatalytic activity of ZP14 reached 91% after 100 min of illumination at a lower MB concentration (20 mg/L), at pH 8, using 1.5 g/L as the photocatalyst dosage, at 25 °C. The photocatalytic degradation of MB obeyed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood first-order kinetic model, and the photocatalyst reusability exhibited a slight loss in activity (~4%) after five cycles of application.

Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye using eco-friendly synthesized rGO@ZnO nanocomposites.

Project description:Industrial chemical pollutants such as methylene blue (MB) dye are released into the water body and potentially cause harm to the human and aquatic biosphere. Therefore, this study aims to synthesize eco-friendly nanocatalysts, i.e., reduced graphene oxide (rGO), zinc oxide (ZnO), and reduced graphene oxide-zinc oxide (rGO@ZnO) nanocomposites, for efficient photocatalytic degradation of MB dye. A graphite rod was obtained from waste dry cell batteries for the electrochemical exfoliation synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) and rGO. For the eco-friendly synthesis of ZnO and rGO@ZnO nanocatalysts, Croton macrostachyus leaf extract was used as a reducing and capping agent. The synthesized nanocatalysts were characterized using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray. The eco-friendly synthesized rGO, ZnO, and rGO@ZnO nanocatalysts were applied for the photocatalytic degradation of MB dye using direct sunlight irradiation. At optimum parameters, photocatalytic degradation of MB dye efficiency reached up to 66%, 96.5%, and 99.0%, respectively. Furthermore, kinetics of the photodegradation reaction based on rGO, ZnO, and rGO@ZnO nanocatalysts follow pseudo-first-order with a rate constant of 2.16 × 10-3 min-1, 4.97 × 10-3 min-1, and 5.03 × 10-3 min-1, respectively. Lastly, this study promotes a low catalyst load (20 mg) for the efficient photodegradation of MB dye.

Functional elastic hydrogel as recyclable membrane for the adsorption and degradation of methylene blue.

Project description:Developing the application of high-strength hydrogels has gained much attention in the fields of medical, pharmacy, and pollutant removal due to their versatility and stimulus-responsive properties. In this presentation, a high-strength freestanding elastic hydrogel membrane was constructed by clay nanosheets, N, N-dimethylacrylamide and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid for adsorption of methylene blue and heavy metal ions. The maximum values of elongation and Young's modulus for 0.5% AMPSNa hydrogel were 1901% and 949.4 kPa, respectively, much higher than those of traditional hydrogels. The adsorptions were confirmed to follow pseudo-second kinetic equation and Langmuir isotherm model fits the data well. The maximum adsorption capacity of hydrogel towards methylene blue was 434.8 mg g(-1). The hydrogel also exhibited higher separation selectivity to Pb(2+) than Cu(2+). The methylene blue adsorbed onto the hydrogel membrane can be photocatalytically degraded by Fenton agent and the hydrogel membrane could be recycled at least five times without obvious loss in mechanical properties. In conclusion, this presentation demonstrates a convenient strategy to prepare tough and elastic clay nanocomposite hydrogel, which can not only be applied as recyclable membrane for the photocatalytic degradation of organic dye, but also for the recovery of valuables.

Adsorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue on TiO2 Thin Films Impregnated with Anderson-Evans Al-Polyoxometalates: Experimental and DFT Study.

Project description:In this work, we fabricated a TiO2 thin film, and the same film was modified with an Anderson aluminum polyoxometalate (TiO2-AlPOM). Physical-chemical characterization of the catalysts showed a significant change in morphological and optical properties of the TiO2 thin films after surface modification. We applied the kinetic and isothermal models to the methylene blue (MB) adsorption process on both catalysts. The pseudo-second order model was the best fitting model for the kinetic results; qe (mg/g) was 11.9 for TiO2 thin films and 14.6 for TiO2-AlPOM thin films, and k2 (g mg-1 min-1) was 16.3 × 10-2 for TiO2 thin films and 28.2 × 10-2 for TiO2-AlPOM thin films. Furthermore, the Freundlich model was suitable to describe the isothermal behavior of TiO2, KF (5.42 mg/g), and 1/n (0.312). The kinetics of photocatalytic degradation was fitted using the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model; kap was 7 × 10-4 min-1 for TiO2 and 13 × 10-4 min-1 for TiO2-AlPOM. The comparative study showed that TiO2 thin films reach a 19.6% MB degradation under UV irradiation and 9.1% MB adsorption, while the TiO2-AlPOM thin films reach a 32.6% MB degradation and 12.2% MB adsorption on their surface. The surface modification improves the morphological, optical, and photocatalytic properties of the thin films. Finally, the DFT study supports all the previously shown results.
