Titanate structures were synthesized in highly alkaline solution using hydrothermal procedure. As-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A specific surface area of the powders was measured by BET method. Results confirmed formation of layered trititanates, already after one hour of hydrothermal synthesis. To examine the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared layered titanates, methylene blue (MB) was employed as a target compound in response to visible light at ambient temperature. It was observed that the specific surface area, size distribution and crystallinity are important factors to get high photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of MB. .

The influence of different borazinic precursors on mesoporous boron nitride synthesis by using a nanocasting process of a mesoporous CMK-3 carbon is presented. Two borazinic precursors, the tri(methylamino)borazine (MAB) and the tri(chloro)borazine (TCB), have been converted to boron nitride (BN) inside the mesopores of a CMK-3 carbon mesoporous template by using thermal or chemical polycondensation processes. Ordered mesoporous boron nitride with a specific surface area around 800 m2/g, a mesoporous volume around 0.6 cm3/g, and a pore-size distribution located at 6 nm in diameter was synthesized by thermal condensation of a molecular MAB precursor. In addition, chemical condensation of TCB led to a disordered mesoporous boron nitride.

Adopting the chemical activation method, the high specific surface area activated carbon (AC) was prepared by the solid mixing method using Daqing petroleum cokes as raw materials and KOH as activator. The influence of the ratio of KOH to carbon, activation temperature and activation time on the iodine and methylene blue adsorption properties of the AC were studied. The micro-graphitic structure of the AC was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The BET specific surface area, BJH pore size distribution and pore volume of the AC were determined by N2 adsorption (at 77K). The experimental results show that the high specific surface area AC can be prepared with the ratio of KOH to carbon of 4, activation temperature of 800°C and activation time of 1h. The specific surface area was as high as 2142 m2/g with the iodine adsorption value of 288mg/g and methylene blue adsorption value of 1266mg/g. The XRD and BJH results also show that amorphous carbon was the dominating form, and the pore size distribution represents micropore structure.

In this paper, Bi2O3 doped with different amount of La3+ was prepared. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by BET, XRD, UV-VIS diffuse reflectance and XPS. The results show that 3%La3+-Bi2O3 prepared has the highest BET surface area, pore volume, the smallest pore size. 3%La3+-Bi2O3 exhibits the best photocatalytic activity. The results of further experiments show that the specific surface area, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance and the binding energy all play an important role in promotion of photocatalytic activity of Bi2O3 nanostructure.

In this study, phosphorus-modified alumina with large pore size was synthesized through a coprecipitation method. The carbon-covered, phosphorus-modified alumina with large pores was prepared by impregnating with glucose and carbonizing to further improve the adsorption of organic dyes. The morphology and structure of these composites were characterized by various analysis methods, and Rhodamine B (RhB) adsorption was also examined in aqueous media. The results showed that the specific surface area and pore size of the phosphorus-modified alumina sample AP7 (prepared with a P/Al molar ratio of 0.07) reached 496.2 m2·g−1 and 21.9 nm, while the specific surface area and pore size of the carbon-covered phosphorus-modified alumina sample CAP7–27 (prepared by using AP7 as a carrier for glucose at a glucose/Al molar ratio of 0.27) reached 435.3 m2·g−1 and 21.2 nm. The adsorption experiment of RhB revealed that CAP7–27 had not only an equilibrium adsorption capacity of 198 mg·g−1, but also an adsorption rate of 162.5 mg·g−1 in 5 min. These superior adsorption effects can be attributed to the similar pore structures of CAP7–27 with those of alumina and the specific properties with those of carbon materials. Finally, the kinetic properties of these composites were also studied, which were found to be consistent with a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model for isothermal adsorption analysis. This study indicates that the prepared nanomaterials are expected to be promising candidates for efficient adsorption of toxic dyes.
