Methylene blue (MB) is a common pollutant in wastewater of printing and dyeing industry. At present, ozone oxidation is commonly used in the treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater. Ozone is used for oxidation reaction directly and indirectly. However, the reaction rate is not fast enough. In this study, the attapulgite (ATP) was modified by tetrabutyl titanate-ethanol solution. The TiO2/ATP nanocomposite with high catalytic activity was prepared. The synthesized samples were subjected to characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphology and particle size of the particles were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The TiO2/ATP nanocomposite was calcined at 300°C for 2 h, and the degradation rate of 80 mg/L methylene blue was 99.8%. The experimental results show that the ozone, temperature and mass transfer factors are excluded, and the effects of temperature, MB concentration and pH on the degradation of methylene blue are investigated. The optimal reaction conditions are as follows: The ozone concentration is 0.067 g/min; the ozone flow rate is 0.15 NL/min; the stirrer rotation speed is 550 r/min; the catalyst is 0.1 g; the temperature is 50°C; Based on the results, the reaction mechanism was derived and the kinetic study of the experiment was carried out.

Abstract Methylene blue(MB) is a common pollutant in wastewater of printing and dyeing. At present, ozone oxidation is commonly used in the treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater. Ozone is oxidized by direct reaction and indirect reaction, However, the reaction rate is not high and it is impossible to completely mineralize organic matter. The experimental scheme is to impregnate the attapulgite(ATP) with a volume of tetrabutyl titanate-ethanol solution. The TiO2/attapulgite nanocomposite with high catalytic activity was prepared. The synthesized samples were subjected to characterized by X-Ray diffraction(XRD). The morphology and particle size of the particles were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The attapulgite modified by TiO2 was calcined at 300°C for 2 h, and the degradation rate of 80 mg/L methylene blue was 99.8%. The experimental results show that the ozone, temperature and mass transfer factors are excluded, and the effects of temperature, MB concentration and pH on the degradation of methylene blue are investigated. The optimal reaction conditions are as follows: The ozone concentration is 0.067 g/min; the ozone flow rate is 0.15 NL/min; the stirrer rotation speed is 550 r/min; the catalyst is 0.1 g; the temperature is 50°C; Based on the results, the reaction mechanism was derived and the kinetic study of the experiment was carried out.

SiO2/TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared by a sol-gel method applying tetrabutyl titanate as the precursor and cullets as the carrier. The optimal preparing conditions of the SiO2/TiO2 composite photocatalyst were optimized. The optimal conditions included 2:1 of the molar ratio of tetraethyl orthosilicate to tetrabutyl titanate, 3 load times, 600°C of calcinations temperature, 3 h of calcination time, 3 mL of the dosage of CH3COOH and 5:1 of the molar ratio of water to tetrabutyl titanate. The photodegradation percentage of methylene blue could reach 92.26% under the above optimal conditions. Moreover, after three times of the repeated use, the SiO2/TiO2 composite photocatalyst still had a relatively high catalytic activity and stability, and the recycle percentage of the photocatalyst could reach 92.80%.

Polyoxometalates based ionic liquids (POM-ILs) exhibit a high catalytic activity in oxidative desulfurization. In this paper, four new POM-IL hybrids based on transition metal mono-substituted Keggin-type phosphomolybdates, [Bmim]5[PMo11M(H2O)O39] (Bmim = 1-butyl 3-methyl imidazolium; M = Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, and Mn2+), have been synthesized and used as catalysts for the oxidation/extractive desulfurization of model oil, in which ILs are used as the extraction solvent and H2O2 as an oxidant under very mild conditions. The factors that affected the desulfurization efficiency were studied and the optimal reaction conditions were obtained. The results showed that the [Bmim]5[PMo11Co(H2O)O39] catalyst demonstrated the best catalytic activity, with sulfur-removal of 99.8%, 85%, and 63% for dibenzothiophene (DBT), 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT), and benzothiophene (BT), respectively, in the case of extraction combining with a oxidative desulfurization system under optimal reaction conditions (5 mL model oil (S content 500 ppm), n(catalyst) = 4 μmol, n(H2O2)/n(Substrate) = 5, T = 50 °C for 60 min with [Omim]BF4 (1 mL) as the extractant). The catalyst can be recycled at least 8 times, and still has stability and high catalytic activity for consecutive desulfurization. Probable reaction mechanisms have been proposed for catalytic oxidative/extractive desulfurization.

In this work, Au-TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized in a single step by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that phase structures of all samples TiO2 were the mixture of anatase and rutile phases. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) showed that dark spots of Au NPs deposited on larger TiO2 nanoparticles. HRTEM results indicated TiO2 NPs were average crystallite size in the range of 10–30 nm whereas the average diameter of Au NPs was about 5–10 nm. UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy technique showed peaks attributable of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to Au NPs loaded on TiO2 in the wavelength of 500–630 nm. The Au-TiO2 NPs showed excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV-Vis irradiation. It was found that 0.25 mol% Au-TiO2 which was a better photocatalyst than others under the same reaction conditions. The results showed that Au NPs-loading could effectively improve the photocatalytic activities of TiO2.

Ferric vanadate (FeVO4) nanoparticles as visible-light photocatalysts were successfully prepared by microwave irradiation method. The structure and morphology of FeVO4 nanoparticles were charactered by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Absorption ranges, which are responsible for the observed photocatalyst behavior, were investigated. Photocatalytic activities of the synthesized samples were examined by studying the degradation of the model dyes Methylene Blue (MB) under visible-light irradiation (400 nm). Various influence factors such as heat treatment temperature of FeVO4, and solution pH values as well as the amount of hydrogen peroxide and FeVO4 catalyst on the photocatalytic degradation of MB were discussed. Results clearly show the degradation ratio can reach 99% under the optimal reaction conditions in dye wastewater treatment in a short photocatalytic reaction time.

In this paper, we report that an effective and simple chemical method under the low temperature (60 °C) could synthesize zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and effectively control the crystal growth based on the hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, X-ray electron spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron microscopy and ultra violet visible spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure and performance of the samples. It is shown that the ZnO nanoparticles synthesized under the optimal reaction conditions are strong ultraviolet absorption, high-uniformed sphere and high specific surface. In the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) tests, ZnO nanoparticles thrived well during the reaction and degraded the material in 50 minutes. Since ZnO nanoparticles towards RhB degradation shows a good stability, it might provide an effective way to tackle environmental pollution.
