The comparative experiments for removing humic acid as environmental pollutant were conducted by adsorption on iron oxide, photooxidation in the presence of titanium dioxide catalyst and combined adsorption-photooxidation by iron-titanium mixed metal oxides, where all these active components were immobilized on polypropylene granules. The main purpose of the work was the combination of adsorption and photocatalytic oxidation processes to remove humic acid. The granules with iron-titanium mixed oxide for treating humic acid gave much better results with 1.2~3 times higher removal rates comparing to the other two single coated oxides at certain pH values. And the order of removal efficiency according to pH was the same as for single iron oxide-coated granules. The ratio 1:2 of iron oxide/titanium dioxide was found optimal for maximal decolorization of humic acid solution. The total organic carbon decrease of humic acid in each experiments, when it was pre-equilibrated with mixed oxides-coated granules in the dark for 30 min and without pre-equilibration, was very similar. The results suggested that the mechanism of humic acid removal may be not only a respectively combined adsorption and photooxidation by iron oxide and titanium oxides, but an enhanced photooxidation reaction as a result of concentrating humic acid on titanium oxide surface by iron oxide.

The increasing demand for polymer composites with novel or improved properties requires novel fillers. To meet the challenges posed, nanofillers such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and titanium dioxide (TiO2) have been used. In the present work, few-layer graphene (FLG) and iron oxide (Fe3O4) or TiO2 were used as fillers in a room-temperature-vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber (SR) matrix. Composites were prepared by mixing RTV-SR with nanofillers and then kept for vulcanization at room temperature for 24 h. The RTV-SR composites obtained were characterized with respect to their mechanical, actuation, and magnetic properties. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was performed to investigate the composite raw materials and finished composites, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis was used to study composite surface elemental compositions. Results showed that mechanical properties were improved by adding fillers, and actuation displacements were dependent on the type of nanofiller used and the applied voltage. Magnetic stress-relaxation also increased with filler amount and stress-relaxation rates decreased when a magnetic field was applied parallel to the deformation axes. Thus, this study showed that the inclusion of iron oxide (Fe3O4) or TiO2 fillers in RTV-SR improves mechanical, actuation, and magnetic properties.

AbstractPhysical and chemical methods have been developed for water and wastewater treatments. Adsorption is an attractive method due to its simplicity and low cost, and it has been widely employed in industrial treatment. In advanced schemes, chemical oxidation and photocatalytic oxidation have been recognized as effective methods for wastewater-containing organic compounds. The use of magnetic iron oxide in these methods has received much attention. Magnetic iron oxide nanocomposite adsorbents have been recognized as favorable materials due to their stability, high adsorption capacities, and recoverability, compared to conventional sorbents. Magnetic iron oxide nanocomposites have also been reported to be effective in photocatalytic and chemical oxidation processes. The current review has presented recent developments in techniques using magnetic iron oxide nanocomposites for water treatment applications. The review highlights the synthesis method and compares modifications for adsorbent, photocatalytic oxidation, and chemical oxidation processes. Future prospects for the use of nanocomposites have been presented.

Abstract Hollow titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes offer substantially higher drug loading capacity and slower drug release kinetics compared to solid drug nanocarriers of comparable size. In this report, we load TiO2 nanotubes with iron oxide nanoparticles to facilitate site-specific magnetic guidance and drug delivery. We generate magnetic TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2NTs) by incorporating a ferrofluid containing Ø ≈ 10 nm iron oxide nanoparticles in planar sheets of weakly connected TiO2 nanotubes. After thermal annealing, the magnetic tubular arrays are loaded with therapeutic drugs and then sonicated to separate the nanotubes. We demonstrate that magnetic TiO2NTs are non-toxic for HeLa cells at therapeutic concentrations (≤200 µg/mL). Adhesion and endocytosis of magnetic nanotubes to a layer of HeLa cells are increased in the presence of a magnetic gradient field. As a proof-of-concept, we load the nanotubes with the topoisomerase inhibitor camptothecin and achieve a 90% killing efficiency. We also load the nanotubes with oligonucleotides for cell transfection and achieve 100% cellular uptake efficiency. Our results demonstrate the potential of magnetic TiO2NTs for a wide range of biomedical applications, including site-specific delivery of therapeutic drugs.

Shenfu bituminous coal (SFBC) and Xilinhaote lignite (XL) were subject to photo-catalytic oxidation with hydrogen peroxide over titanium dioxide. The reaction mixtures were extracted with acetone exhaustively. The extracts were analyzed with FTIR and GC/MS. The results show that coals be oxidized selectively and degraded partially. Compared with the bituminite coal, the oxidation effect of the lignite coal with active hydrogens is more obvious. The alkyl side chains of the macromolecules, particularly, chains of methyl, methylene and aromatic, are the most vulnerable in relation to other compounds in coals. Moreover, the increasing of straight-chain alkanes and the decreasing of condensed nucleus in SFBC and XL through oxidation suggest that the oxidation is an effective method of coal utilization with no difficultly, also be friendly towards the environment after treated as well as in the process of the treatment.

Abstract In this study we demonstrate the efficiency of a natural mineral as a photocalyst. This natural mineral was provided from the iron ore deposit from Chaabet-El-Ballout which is located in North-East of Algeria. The characterization analysis of the mineral by the Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) revealed that the natural powder has a mixed elemental composition and consist mainly of iron oxide with 50 % of iron. In order to determine the crystal phase composition of the natural iron oxide (NIO), X-ray diffraction (DRX) measurement and infrared absorption spectroscopy (FTIR) were carried out. The results showed that the NIO has a mixed crystal structure composed mainly of hematite and lesser extent of goethite. The specific surface area and the total pore volume of the NIO were 79.015 m2g−1 and 0.0892 cm3g−1 respectively, measured by the Brunauer Emmett–Teller method (BET). The Raman spectrum of the NIO confirmed that the sample has seven characteristic peaks attributable to hematite. The optical properties of soil powder were examined by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The pH of point of zero charge (pHpzc) of the adsorbent was determined, a value of 8.3 was found. The photocatalytic activity of the NIO particles was tested by the decomposition of aqueous solution of different class of compounds; phenolic compounds, pesticides and dyes due to their presence in many types of wastewaters. The sorption on the surface of the NIO with photocatalytic oxidation using oxalic acid and hydrogen peroxide would be an effective oxidation process for the removal of contaminants under UV and solar irradiation. High percentages of degradation of 1- Naphtol (1-NP) and Linuron were found about, 94.6 %, 97.2 % respectively, in presence of NIO and H2O2 under UV irradiation. The presence of oxalic acid with NIO enhanced the photodegradation of 2,6-dimethylphenol (2,6-DMP), 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) and Methylene blue (MB) with 72 %, 92 % and 100 % percentages of degradation respectively.
