Abstract Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been widely used as a recyclable catalyst in Fenton reaction for organic degradation. However, the pristine MNPs suffer from the drawbacks of iron leaching in acidic conditions as well as the decreasing catalytic activity of organic degradation at a pH higher than 3.0. To solve the problems, Fe3O4 MNPs were modified by poly(catechol) (Fe3O4/PCC MNPs) using a facile chemical co-precipitation method. The poly(catechol) modification improved both the dispersity and the surface negative charges of Fe3O4/PCC MNPs, which are beneficial to the catalytic activity of MNPs for organics degradation. Moreover, the poly(catechol) modification enhanced the efficiency of Fe(II) regeneration during Fenton reaction due to the acceleration of Fe(III) reduction by the phenolic/quinonoid redox pair. As a result, the Fenton reaction with Fe3O4/PCC MNPs could efficiently degrade organic molecules, exampled by methylene blue (MB), in an expanded pH range between 3.0 and 10.0. In addition, Fe3O4/PCC MNPs could be reused up to 8 cycles for the MB degradation with negligible iron leaching of lower than 1.5 mg L-1. This study demonstrated Fe3O4/PCC MNPs are a promising heterogeneous Fenton catalysts for organic degradation.

In this work, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles with high peroxidase-like catalytic activity and spontaneous pH adjustment ability were successfully prepared by co-precipitation method followed by appropriate thermal treatment. Key synthesis factors were identified and adjusted to tailor the crystallinity, chemical composition and then catalytic property. The crystal structure and Fe (II) content of the catalyst strongly affected its degradation efficiency. Phenol was completely removed by the optimal magnetic nanoparticles under a wide range of pH from 3.0 to 8.0. Additionally, this catalyst exhibited low iron leaching, good reusability and excellent potential to eliminate various organic pollutants from waste water. The reaction mechanism was discussed in terms of the formation of HO• and O2•−/HO2• radicals.

In this paper, hexaaluminate oxides LaMAl12O19-σwere prepared by using M=Cu ,Ce and Zn as active components to substitute Al in the hexaaluminate lattice by co-precipitation method. The structure and properties of LaMAl11O19-σcatalyst was characterized with XRD and BET. The results showed LaCuAl11O19-σexhibited significant high catalytic activity for the decomposition reaction of N2O. Under the simulated in situ condition, LaCuAl11O19-σalso indicated significant catalytic activity and stability, with N2O conversion of 90% at 635°C.

The experiment used iron chloride, iron dichloride and other agents as the main resources to prepare the nano Fe3O4 powder by co-precipitation method. Magnets were used to test the magnetism of the prepared nano Fe3O4 powder samples. And the photo-catalytic degradation of rhodamine B solution was used as the model reaction to test the photo-catalytic activity of the prepared nano Fe3O4 powder. The results showed that the prepared nano Fe3O4 powder samples had good magnetism but low photo-catalytic activity.

Zr-γ-FeOOH nanoparticle adsorbent for As(V) and As(III) removal was prepared by a chemical co-precipitation method. Compared with γ-FeOOH, the addition of Zr enhanced the adsorptive capacities of As(V) and As(III). The maximum adsorptive capacities for As(V) and As(III) were 69.81 and 94.25 mg/g, respectively (rate Fe:Zr =1:0.5) at pH= 7.0. The adsorption data accorded with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The adsorption of As(III) by Zr- γ-FeOOH was found to be effective in wide pH range of 6–8. Competitive ions hindered the adsorption according to the decreasing sequence phosphate, sulfate, ammonium, chloride, magnesium and calcium. The high adsorptive capability and good performance on other aspects make the Zr-γ- FeOOH nanorods a promissing adsorbent for the removal of As(V) and As(III) from groundwater.

Herein, an easily accessible and efficient green method for the reduction of nitroarene compounds was developed using metal oxide catalysts. Heterogeneous metal oxides with or without Pd were prepared by a simple and scalable co-precipitation method and used for the reduction of nitroarenes. A fluorescence-based high-throughput screening (HTS) method was also developed for the rapid analysis of the reaction conditions. The catalytic activity of the metal oxides and reaction conditions were rapidly screened by the fluorescence-based HTS method, and Pd/CuO showed the highest catalytic activity under mild reaction conditions. After identifying the optimal reaction conditions, various nitroarenes were reduced to the corresponding aniline derivatives by Pd/CuO (0.005 mol% of Pd) under these conditions. Furthermore, the Pd/CuO catalyst was used for the one-pot Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling/reduction reaction. A gram-scale reaction (20 mmol) was successfully performed using the present method, and Pd/CuO showed high reusability without a loss of catalytic activity for five cycles.

Ni-Zn Layered hydroxide salt (Ni-Zn LHS) has been synthesized from equimolar Ni(NO3)2 and Zn(NO3)2 by co-precipitation method using NaOH. The formation of layered assembly is confirmed in X-ray diffractogram, i.e. by the appearance of peaks at 2θ: 9.60°, 19.40°, 33.48°, and 59.76° which corresponds to diffraction plane (001), (003), (020), and (040), respectively. The synthesized Ni-Zn LHSs possessed the point of zero charge (pHpzc) at pH 8 and nitrate as the interlamellar ion. The incorporation of salicylic acid into LHS can extend the property of LHS as a reductive adsorbent in the application of metal recovery. The immobilization of salicylic acid on the Ni-Zn-LHS was successfully done and indicated the strong pH-dependent property. The immobilization of salicylic acid on Ni-Zn LHSs was optimum at pH 7 and followed better the Langmuir than Freundlich isotherm models with immobilization capacity 64.93 mg/g. After the immobilization of salicylic acid, the basal spacing of Ni-Zn LHSs did not enlarge indicating that the immobilized salicylic acid was on the outer layer without entering the interlayer and this immobilized salicylic acid was stable at medium pH range 3 to 9.

Catalysts of Mn/TiO2 and Mn-Ce /TiO2 prepared by co-precipitation method for low temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3 were investigated in this study. The experimental results showed that co-precipitation method after improvement, the NO conversion of Mn-Ce/TiO2 catalyst increased sharply. Meanwhile, the addition of cerium has significant effects on the catalytic activity. Characterizations of catalysts were carried out by XRD, BET and H2-TPR. The characterized results indicated that co-precipitation method after improvement, in temperature windows 150 to 300 °C, showed higher NOx conversion.
