Abstract This paper presents a study of V and N co-doping TiO2 embedding multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) supported on γ-Al2O3 pellet (V/N-TiO2-MWCNTs/γ-Al2O3) composite photocatalyst induced by pulsed discharge plasma to enhance the removal of Acid orange II (AO7) from aqueous solution. The photocatalytic activity of the V/N-TiO2-MWCNTs/γ-Al2O3 composite to AO7 removal induced by the pulsed discharge plasma was evaluated. The results indicate that the V/N-TiO2-MWCNTs/γ-Al2O3 composite possesses enhanced photocatalytic activity that facilitates the removal of AO7 compared with the TiO2-MWCNTs/γ-Al2O3 and TiO2/γ-Al2O3 composites. Almost 100% of AO7 is removed after 10 min under optimal conditions. The V0.10/N0.05-TiO2-MWCNTs/γ-Al2O3 photocatalyst exhibits the best removal effect for AO7. Analysis of the removal mechanism indicates that the enhancement of the removal of AO7 resulting from V and N co-doping causes TiO2 lattice distortion and introduces a new impurity energy level, which not only reduces the band gap of TiO2 but also inhibits the recombination of the pairs.

Biomass resources in nature produce a large amount of waste resources (agricultural residues, wood waste, etc.) during agricultural and forestry production processes. Therefore, the effective utilization of these solid biomass waste resources has attracted widespread interest. In this paper, a pulsed discharge plasma technology was used to perform catalytic liquefaction experiments on solid biomass sawdust at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and the reaction parameters such as the solid:liquid ratio, liquefaction solvent ratio, and catalyst ratio were optimized. The results showed that the plasma technology achieved a higher liquefaction yield; the optimized reaction parameters were: a solid:liquid ratio of 1:23.4, a liquefaction solvent polyethylene glycol (PEG) / glycerol (GL) ratio of 25:15 (V:V), and an acid volume fraction of 0.188%. In addition, the characteristics of the products of the liquefaction reaction were analyzed and discussed. The liquid products were mainly composed of small molecules. The experiment established that the liquefaction of solid sawdust by high-voltage pulsed discharge plasma can be an effective technical method.
