Wastewater treatment using a hybrid system combining adsorption, photocatalytic degradation and membrane filtration processes
摘要： In the present study, Chooka’s Wastewater treatment was investigated using di?erent combinations of adsorption, photocatalytic degradation, and membrane ?ltration process. Polymeric membranes were fabricated using wet phase inversion method employing polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and dimethylformamide (DMF) as a polymer matrix, hydrophilic additive, and solvent, respectively. Activated carbon and TiO2 nanoparticles were selected as an adsorbent and photocatalyst, respectively. TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using the sol-gel method and activated carbon was purchased from Merck Company. Liquid-liquid displacement (LLDP), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and contact angle tests were implemented to characterize the fabricated membranes. FT-IR and XRD analysis were also used for TiO2 nanoparticles characterization. The wastewater of Iran pulp and paper factory (Chooka) was used as the feed in separation processes. In hybrid separation systems, 6 di?erent con?gurations were considered and wastewater compositions were measured to determine the e?ectiveness of the utilized processes before and after treatment. Accordingly, the mean pore size of the fabricated PAN/PVP (16%/3%) membrane obtained from LLDP analysis was 9.72 nm. SEM results also indicated thicker active layer for the PAN/PVP membrane than that of the neat PAN membrane. According to the results of the contact angle tests, with the increasing of PVP content in the polymer matrix, the hydrophilicity of membranes improved. It was also found that membrane ?ltration had the best performance among single stage processes and the best separation performance was achieved when photocatalytic degradation, adsorption, and membrane ?ltration were used in series, respectively.

Facile two-step synthesis of porous carbon nitride with enhanced photocatalytic activity using a soft template
摘要： In this study, we successfully synthesized a thin-slice layer of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with abundant irregular holes by a facile two-step way using Pluronic P123 as a template (CN-P123-x, where x represents the mass ratio of melamine to Pluronic P123). The characterization data suggest that the introduction and removal of Pluronic P123 altered the chemical material structure of the carbon nitride. The CN-P123-x presented lamellar structure with irregular holes, whereas H-g-C3N4 (g-C3N4 prepared using a mild hydrothermal and calcination method without Pluronic P123 or HCl) has a dense blocky structure. Additionally, the prepared CN-P123-x exhibited an effective Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation rate of 98.7% within 40 min of illumination. The optimal photocatalytic activity of CN-P123-6 for degrading RhB was 13.9 times greater than that of H-g-C3N4 in terms of the kinetic constant. Furthermore, the H2 evolution rate of CN-P123-6 can reach 1074.9 μmol?g?1?h?1, whereas that of H-g-C3N4 is only 3.1 μmol?g?1?h?1. It is worth noting that the adoption of HCl (H-g-C3N4-HCl) and Pluronic P123 (CN-P123-6 without HCl) alone has no insignificant effect on photocatalytic performance. The intensive activities are on account of the irregular pores in the thin slice, which increase the specific surface area of the sample and provide additional active sites for reaction. This work provides an excellent basis for improving the performance of the photocatalytic degradation and hydrogen production of carbon nitride.

Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue by Using Au-TiO<sub>2</sub>
摘要： In this work, Au-TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized in a single step by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that phase structures of all samples TiO2 were the mixture of anatase and rutile phases. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) showed that dark spots of Au NPs deposited on larger TiO2 nanoparticles. HRTEM results indicated TiO2 NPs were average crystallite size in the range of 10–30 nm whereas the average diameter of Au NPs was about 5–10 nm. UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy technique showed peaks attributable of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to Au NPs loaded on TiO2 in the wavelength of 500–630 nm. The Au-TiO2 NPs showed excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV-Vis irradiation. It was found that 0.25 mol% Au-TiO2 which was a better photocatalyst than others under the same reaction conditions. The results showed that Au NPs-loading could effectively improve the photocatalytic activities of TiO2.

Binary-phase TiO2 modified Bi2MoO6 crystal for effective removal of antibiotics under visible light illumination
摘要： A series of binary-phase TiO2 modified Bi2MoO6 nanocrystals have been prepared via a solvothermal-calcination process. Trace TiO2 modification can effectively enhance the visible light catalytic activity of Bi2MoO6 to remove the antibiotics in aqueous solution. The obtained TiO2/Bi2MoO6 composites were investigated by some physicochemical techniques like XRD, N2 adsorption, SEM, TEM, UV–vis DRS, Raman, XPS, PL and Photo-electrochemical measurement. The presence of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) influenced the crystal growth of Bi2MoO6, decreasing the crystal size of Bi2MoO6 and effectively promoting its specific surface area. Moreover, the conduction band of TiO2 can serve as the electron transfer platform, which largely boosts the effective separation of photocarriers at TiO2/Bi2MoO6 heterojunction interface. With optimal TiO2 content (0.41 wt%), TiO2/Bi2MoO6 exhibited the best photocatalytic performance for different antibiotics degradation, e.g. ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and oxytetracyline hydrochloride under visible light irradiation. Moreover, the mechanism for enhanced photocatalytic performance in ciprofloxacin degradation was illuminated.

In-situ fabrication of Ag/P-g-C3N4 composites with enhanced photocatalytic activity for sulfamethoxazole degradation
摘要： A series of Ag/P-g-C3N4 composites with different Ag content were synthesized for the first time by thermal polymerization combined with photo-deposition method. The composites were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra, N2 absorption-desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Ag was successfully dispersed on the surface of P-g-C3N4. The photocatalytic performance of P-g-C3N4 and Ag/P-g-C3N4 was evaluated by degrading sulfamethoxazole (SMX) under visible light irradiation. In the presence of 5% Ag/P-g-C3N4, 100% of SMX was degraded within 20 min. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Ag/P-g-C3N4 was attributed to the surface plasmon resonance effect of metallic Ag and Schottky barrier formed on the interface between Ag and P-g-C3N4, which could speed up the generation rate of electrons and holes and inhibit the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The radical quenching tests indicated that holes and superoxide radicals were the dominant active species involved in SMX degradation. The synthesized materials maintained high catalytic activity after five cycle runs. The concentration and the intermediates during the degradation process were determined by LC-MS/MS, and the tentative degradation pathways of SMX in photocatalytic system were proposed.

Integrated adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using carbon-based nanocomposites: A critical review
摘要： Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are harmful for human and surrounding ecosystem, and a great number of VOC abatement technologies have been developed during the past few decades. However, the single method has some problems such as high energy consumption, unfriendly environment, and low removal efficiency. Recently, the integration of adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of VOCs is considered as a promising one. Carbon material, with large surface area, high adsorption capacity, and fast electron transfer ability, is widely used in integrated adsorptive-photocatalytic removal of VOCs. It is thus crucial to digest and summarize recent research advances in carbon-based nanocomposites as the adsorbent-photocatalyst for VOC removal. To satisfy this need, this work provides a critical review of the related literature with focuses on: (1) the advantages and disadvantages of various carbon-based nanocomposites for the applications of VOC adsorption and photocatalytic degradation; (2) models and mechanisms of adsorptive-photocatalytic removal of VOCs according to the material properties; and (3) major factors controlling adsorption-photocatalysis processes of VOCs. The review is aimed to establish the "structure-property-application" relationships for the development of innovative carbon-supported nanocomposites and to promote future research on the integrated adsorptive and photocatalytic removal of VOCs.

Assembly of graphene on Ag3PO4/AgI for effective degradation of carbamazepine under Visible-light irradiation: Mechanism and degradation pathways
摘要： A highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst Ag3PO4/AgI-Graphene (Ag3PO4/AgI-G) was synthesized through a chemical coprecipitation procedure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were performed to study the physicochemical structural of the photocatalysts. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was examined by the carbamazepine (CBZ) degradation under artificial visible light and natural sunlight irradiation. Experimental results indicated that the introduction of low mass content of graphene enhanced the photocatalytic performance of Ag3PO4/AgI, and the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of CBZ over Ag3PO4/AgI-3%G (mass ratio of graphene : Ag3PO4/AgI = 3:100) reached 93.06% within 21 min, which was much higher than that over pure Ag3PO4 (26.92%) and Ag3PO4/AgI (74.38%). UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, photoluminescence (PL) spectra, transient photocurrent responses and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) of the samples were conducted to verify the high photocatalytic performance of the Ag3PO4/AgI-3%G. In addition, possible photocatalytic degradation pathways of CBZ were proposed based on the analysis of transformation products during the reaction. The reactive species trapping experiments and Electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis demonstrated that h+ and ·O2- were the main active oxidant species responsible for CBZ photodegradation. The photocatalytic degradation mechanism of CBZ over Ag3PO4/AgI-3%G under visible light irradiation was schematically proposed. This study not only provides a new technique for the synthesis of Ag3PO4-based photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity, but also demonstrates that the Ag3PO4/AgI-3%G composite could be a promising photocatalyst for the treatment of waters containing CBZ.

Fabrication of hierarchical sheet-on-sheet WO3/g-C3N4 composites with enhanced photocatalytic activity
摘要： Novel hierarchical sheet-on-sheet WO3/g-C3N4 (WOCN) composites were successfully fabricated by simple calcination method using acid-treated SrWO4/g-C3N4 as precursors. The morphological observation showed that WO3 nanosheets were closely anchored on the surface of g-C3N4 nanosheets to construct a hierarchical nanostructure. The as-synthesized WOCN composites exhibited a significantly higher photocatalytic activity towards the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) compared to pristine g-C3N4 and WO3 under simulated sunlight irradiation. The optimum photocatalytic activity of the WOCN at a WO3 mass content of 34.6% was 6.5 and 3.0 times higher than that of pristine WO3 and g-C3N4, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activities of WOCN composites were attributed to the formation of hierarchical heterostructure, which provided larger specific surface area, better visible-light absorption capability, reduced the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and enhanced separation efficiency of charge carriers. A Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism was proposed according to active species trapping experiments.

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Synthesized by Suaeda japonica Makino and Their Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue
摘要： Green chemistry gained special attention for the environmental safety. In addition, green synthesized plant based nanoparticles for the degradation of industrial pollutant dye also received special focuses. Thus, photocatalytic activity of nanosized zinc oxide (Sj-ZnONps) synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method using sodium hydroxide, zinc nitrate, and Suaeda japonica extract as starting materials was carried out. The reaction was implemented in comparatively low temperature (50oC) without further calcination. The absorption spectrum demonstrated an extinction peak at ~362 nm, which is characteristic to the ZnO nanoparticles. Field-emission transmission electron microscope revealed smaller agglomeration of hexagonal Sj-ZnONps (~100 nm). X-ray diffraction patterns exposed polycrystalline ZnO with hexagonal wurtzite structure. The self-assembly of Sj-ZnONps was achieved due to the capping of phytoconstituents present in extract as evident from Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. The photocatalytic degradation of Sj-ZnONps was estimated in reduction of methylene blue (MB). The reaction mixtures comprising of MB, S. japonica extract and Sj-ZnONps had the most significant decrease of MB by 54 %. In conclusion, the Sj-ZnONps can be used as a photocatalyst for decomposition of organic pollutions present in water.

One-step synthesis and deposition of ZnFe2O4 related composite films via SPPS route for photodegradation application
摘要： Binary spinel-type metal oxides (AB2O4) related materials, including ferrites (AFe2O4), are attractive photocatalysts thanks to their excellent visible light response for the photodegradation of organic pollutants. Currently, these materials are synthesized via conventional chemical routes suffering from long preparation duration and multistep. Solution Precursor Plasma Spray (SPPS) process is a single-step method for depositing photocatalytically active zinc ferrite-based films within several minutes. The influence of the precursor ratio on the microstructures and phase compositions of the ZnFe2O4 films was investigated by XRD and Raman analyses. In addition, two optimized ZnFe2O4 films were prepared by increasing the ZnO loading and tailoring injection pattern of the precursor solution. The surface morphologies and optical bandgap were also determined by SEM and UV-visible spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activities of the ZnFe2O4 films were evaluated through the degradation of the Orange II dye and of tetracycline hydrochloride under UV or visible light irradiation. The results show that compositional ratios and composition distribution of the ZnFe2O4 films prepared via SPPS played a key role on the photocatalytic activity. The SPPS route was demonstrated to be a promising method for the synthesis and the deposition of metal oxide (i.e. perovskite type and spinel type) films within a single-step for functional applications.
