A hydrophilic fibrous membrane consisting of a network of a non-crystalline hydrophobic polymer and an in situ crosslinked hydrophilic chitosan polymer is studied. This chitosan-functionalized membrane can be employed as a support for immobilization of horseradish peroxidases (HRPs). The immobilized HRPs (mass loading ~110 mg /g) show high stabilities over a wide pH range of 4~10 and temperature range of 25~60°C. In addition, the immobilized HRPs can function as a recyclable biocatalyst for catalytic oxidation of p-nitrophenol (PNP). After 10 cycles, the PNP removal efficiency is 70 percent. The results demonstrate that the chitosan-functionalized fibrous membrane is a promising support for immobilization of enzymes and has applications related to enzyme catalysis.

Flocculation of kaolin suspension with aluminium fractal polycations was investigated as a function of aluminium concentration and pH. Aluminium flocculants included Al13 and Al13 aggregates with OH/Al ratio of 2.6 and 2.8, respectively. The flocculation kinetics and floc size distribution were monitored by light scattering. The characterization of flocculants showed that the tridecatmer Al13 and bridged [Al13]n with out-sphere structure were the dominant species for all flocculants in a wide pH range. The coagulation results indicated that the pre and in situ-formed [Al13]n play a key role in removing particles. With the increasing concentration of [Al13]n, coagulation mechanisms were transformed from charge-neutralization, electro-patch coagulation to bridge-aggregation. Moreover, sweep-flocculation was involved at higher dosage besides other three mechanisms when amorphous aluminium oxides formed. Hence, chemical interaction between particles and flocculants evolved from surface adsorption to surface precipitation for aluminium polycations by virtue of species transformation.

Microwave-assisted catalytic technology is potentially promising in the application of water treatment due to its merits of high reaction rates, simple equipment and operations. In case of the cartap wastewater rarely studied, the easy transformation of cartap into metabolites could induce higher toxicity. This study aimed to develop a novel catalyst Ce/Co/γ-Al2O3 to dispose cartap effectively. The catalyst was prepared by loading Ce and Co on the surface of the support Al2O3, followed by characterization with X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopies. Based on the treatment results, the microwave-induced catalytic oxidation procedure over Ce/Co/γ-Al2O3 could decompose the contaminants efficiently and fast in the case of a low oxidant dosage and a wide pH range. Under the conditions of pH of 5, microwave power of 450 W, catalyst dosage of 0.7 g and hydrogen peroxide dosage of 0.2 mL, the activity of Ce/Co/γ-Al2O3 catalyst could reach up to 86.08%. Importantly, the Ce/Co/γ-Al2O3 catalyst displayed excellent stability after using for 6 times in the degradation process. This work paved a new way for the effective catalyst design for efficient microwave-induced oxidative degradation.
