In this work, MCM-41, magnetite (MAG), and a composite of magnetite and MCM-41 (MCM-MAG) were synthesized by a simple route for the production of active systems in the decomposition of organic waste. The materials were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Our results indicated that the decolorization kinetics of the dyes were in the order of MCM-MAG > MCM-41 > magnetite. Mineralization of the dyes was monitored by total organic carbon (TOC) decrease. The dye solutions could be completely decolorized and effectively mineralized, with an average overall TOC removal 43% for a Fenton-like reaction time of 180 min. The degradation activity of the MCM-MAG was stable during four consecutive experiments, confirming their stability and reusability of the composite. The great advantage of this composite is that it may be easily magnetically recovered and reused.

A novel nanocomposite ZnFe2O4-TiO2/MCM-41 (ZTM) was synthesized by a sol-gel method and characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), N2adsorption-desorption, Raman spectroscopy, and ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometry. The results confirmed the incorporation of ZnFe2O4-TiO2nanoparticles inside the pores of the mesoporous MCM-41 host without destroying its integrity. ZnFe2O4nanoparticles can inhibit the transformation of anatase into rutile phase of TiO2. Incorporation of ZnFe2O4-TiO2within MCM-41 avoided the agglomeration of nanoparticles and reduced the band gap energy of TiO2to enhance its visible light photocatalytic activity. UV-vis absorption edges of ZTM nanocomposites redshifted with the increase of Zn/Ti molar ratio. The nanocomposite approach could be a potential choice for enhancing the photoactivity of TiO2, indicating an interesting application in the photodegradation and photoelectric fields.

AbstractArgentum-loaded MCM-41 (Ag/MCM-41) was synthesized successfully by a hydrothermal method and used as a catalyst for the ozonation of p-chlorobenzoic acid (p-CBA) in aqueous solution. Ag/MCM-41 was characterized by low angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Characterizations suggest that the prepared samples retained a highly regulated mesopores of hexagonal structure and a high BET surface area. The influences of argentum content, initial pH, reaction temperature on the catalytic ozonation were also evaluated. Ag/MCM-41/O

TiO2/Ti-Al-MCM-41 (TAM) with high Ti content (Si/Ti=6.2) was prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of TiCl4 on Al-MCM-41 at low reaction temperature (423 K). The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption/desorption, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (DR UV-vis). The results showed that Ti atoms were in tetrahedral coordinated in the framework of Al-MCM-41. Meanwhile, higher Ti4+ ions coordination and bulk anatase titania was observed in the DR UV-vis spectra. TAM still exhibited hexagonal p6m pore architectures, large specific surface area and narrow pore distribution. Catalytic activity of TAM for polystyrene (PS) pyrolysis has been investigated. The results showed that TAM exhibited high activity for the PS pyrolysis and good selectivity to liquid hydrocarbons of C5-C12 hydrocarbons.

In this paper, rice straw (RS) and rice straw ash (RSA) were employed to synthesize mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 in an open-vessel. The structure of as-synthesized MCM-41 was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spectrum, NH3-Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD), and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. RS-MCM-41 and RSA-MCM-41 possess the same typical hexagonal mesoporous structure with high long-range order and crystalline degree as those of MCM-41 from water glass (SDS-MCM-41).

Sintering of the active metallic nanoparticles and carbon deposition are the key problems faced for CO methanation catalysts. For overcoming those problems, bimetallic nanocatalyst is a promising route. In this work, a series of Al2O3 supported Ni-Co alloy catalysts were prepared by reducing NiCoAl layered double hydrotalcite (LDHs), and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction TPR, N2 adsorption-desorption, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and temperature programed oxidation (TPO) techniques. The resultant catalysts were mesoporous with nanoparticles of Ni-Co alloy ranging from 7.9[Formula: see text]nm to 9.2[Formula: see text]nm which were highly dispersed in alumina matrix. The sample Ni7Co3-Al2O3 catalysts showed very good catalytic performance during the stability test at 500/600[Formula: see text]C for 300[Formula: see text]h, meanwhile exhibited excellent anti-sintering ability and anti-carbon deposition ability, owing to the formation of Ni-Co alloy and the feature of LDHs. This strategy for improving anti-sintering and anti-carbon deposition should be extendable for catalysts of other reactions.

A series of Ag-Co-MCM-41 with different metal loadings have been synthesized through the hydrothermal method. All the prepared catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption, X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy. The results revealed that the structure of MCM-41 was well preserved and Ag and Co have been introduced successfully into the mesoporous channels of MCM-41. The liquid-phase catalytic oxidation of styrene on these catalysts was investigated using H2O2 as an oxidizing agent and acetone as a solvent in thermostatic water bath. The influence of metal loading, the catalyst dose, temperature, time and styrene/oxidant molar ratio on the conversion of styrene and yield and selectivity of benzaldehyde was investigated. Also, the reusability of the catalysts was evaluated.

BiOBr nanoplates, marked asα-BiOBr andβ-BiOBr, were synthesized via hydrothermal method using cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) and NaBr as reactants, respectively. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), N2adsorption/desorption, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were employed to characterize the obtained BiOBr. The results showed thatα-BiOBr andβ-BiOBr can absorb visible light and both the band gaps of them were about 2.76 eV. Under visible light irradiation, the photodegradation of organic dye sulforhodamine (SRB) and salicylic acid (SA) usingα-BiOBr andβ-BiOBr as the catalysts was carried out. The reaction kinetic constants of the degradation of SRB byα-BiOBr andβ-BiOBr were 0.00602 min−1and 0.0047 min−1, respectively, which indicated that the photocatalytic activity ofα-BiOBr was higher than that ofβ-BiOBr. The UV-Vis DRS and total organic carbon (TOC) were also monitored, and the TOC removal rate ofα-BiOBr andβ-BiOBr was 86% and 48%, respectively. At the same time, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and active radicals were measured and analyzed, which showed that the main active species wasOH∙during the photocatalytic reaction.

In this study, the TiO2/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] nanocomposite photocatalysts were prepared by loading different amount of TiO2 nanoparticles onto the surface of Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] nanospheres via a facile hydrothermal method. Afterwards, the as-synthesized samples were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and photocurrent techniques. The optimal TiO2/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] composite with 20[Formula: see text]wt.% TiO2 loading (TB2) exhibited the best photocatalytic activity, which could degrade almost RhB completely within 30[Formula: see text]min under visible light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of TiO2/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] composites for RhB degradation could be mainly ascribed to the efficient charge separation over dye-induced sensitized and the increased specific surface area. Also, the photocatalytic activities of TiO2/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] for CIP degradation were tested. After five consecutive recycling experiments, the photocatalytic degradation activity of TB2 could still reach 99% which indicated that the catalysts had superior stability. Based on the experimental and bandgap calculations, a possible photocatalytic mechanism of TiO2/Bi4V2O[Formula: see text] for RhB degradation was proposed.
