A supported photocatalyst zinc phthalocyanine-calcium alginate gel beads (Zn-MPc-SA) was prepared through the mixture of water-soluble zinc phthalocyanine (Zn-MPc) and sodium alginate was drip into 5% (w/v) CaCl2 solution. The Zn-MPc-SA was characterized by IR. Methyl orange was selected as a substrate to investigate the photocatalytic activity of Zn-MPc-SA. The results shown that: the surplus of methyl orange was 22.05% at the condition of pH 3, methyl orange 10mg/L 25mL, H2O2 50μL, Zn-MPc-SA 0.1460g and visible light irradiation for 3h. Zn-MPc-SA remains efficient in repetitive test cycles with no obvious degradation of catalytic activity. The reaction mechanism was likely to involve free hydroxyl radicals.

Calcium-induced alginate-phosphate composite gel beads were prepared, and model drug release profiles were investigated in vitro. The formation of calcium phosphate in the alginate gel matrix was observed and did not affect the rheological properties of the hydrogel beads. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the calcium phosphate does not exist in crystalline form in the matrix. The initial release amount and release rate of a water-soluble drug, diclofenac, from the alginate gel beads could be controlled by modifying the composition of the matrix with calcium phosphate. In contrast, the release profile was not affected by the modification for hydrocortisone, a drug only slightly soluble in water.

Immobilization of nitrifiers and autotrophic denitrifiers (Thiobacillus denitrificans) within calcium alginate gel was demonstrated. Calcium carbonate reagent was immobilized along with bacteria as the stabilizing agent. Protons released as a result of microbial respiration reacted with calcium carbonate producing calcium ions which internally stabilized the calcium alginate gel. The microbially active gel beads were mechanically stable and active for three months in a continuous flow system without addition of calcium.
