A series of Co3O4 catalysts with different contents of residual sodium were prepared using a precipitation method with sodium carbonate as a precipitant and tested for the catalytic oxidation of 1000 ppm propane and toluene at a weight hourly space velocity of 40,000 mL g−1 h−1, respectively. Several techniques were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. Results showed that residual sodium could be partially inserted into the Co3O4 spinel lattice, inducing distortions and helping to increase the specific surface area of the Co3O4 catalysts. Meanwhile, it could negatively affect the reducibility and the oxygen mobility of the catalysts. Moreover, residual sodium had a significant influence on the catalytic activity of propane and toluene oxidation over the synthesized Co3O4 catalysts. The catalyst derived from the precursor washed three times presented the best activity for the catalytic oxidation of propane. The origin was traced to its better reducibility and higher oxygen mobility, which were responsible for the formation of active oxygen species. On the other hand, the catalyst obtained from the precursor washed two times exhibited better performance in toluene oxidation, benefitting from its more defective structure and larger specific surface area. Furthermore, the most active catalysts maintained constant performance in cycling and long-term stability tests of propane and toluene oxidation, being potentially applicable for practical applications.

Core-shell structured hydroxyapatite (HA)/meso-silica was prepared and used as absorbance of methylene blue (MB). HA/meso-silica was synthesized in three steps: preparation of nano-sized HA by wet precipitation method, coating of dense silica and deposition of meso-silica shell on HA. As-received samples were characterized by Fourier transformed infare spectra, small angle X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm and transmission electron microscopy. A wormhole framework mesostructure was found for HA/meso-silica. The specific surface area and pore volume were 128 m2•g-1 and 0.36 cm3•g-1, respectively. From the adsorption isotherm, HA/meso-silica with the great specific surface area exhibited a prominent adsorption capacity of MB (134.0 mg/g) in comparison with bare HA (0 mg/g). This study might shed light on surface modification of conventional low-cost adsorbents for removal of organic pollutants from aqueous solutions.

BiVO4/FeVO4 composite photocatalyst samples were prepared by calcining the mixture of FeVO4 and BiVO4 precusor which were prepared through liquid phase precipitation method for further increasing the photocatalytic efficiency of FeVO4. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microsoope（SEM）and specific surface area (BET). The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) solution under visible light. The XRD patterns indicate that BiVO4/FeVO4 composite photocatalysts consist of triclinic phase and the lattice was not distorted beacause of doping Bi. But the morphology change greatly and the specific surface area has little change. In the experimental conditions used, the optimal photocatalytic activity for all the prepared samples was reached when BiVO4 doping was 22 at%. The degradation rate of MO was increased by 20％ or so than that of pure FeVO4.

A simple method to prepare hollow hydroxyapatite (HAP) microspheres with mespores on the surfaces is performed using a precipitation method assisted with Li2O-CaO-B2O3(LCB) glass fabrication process. This research is concerned with the effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure evolution, phase purity, surface morphology, specific surface area, and porosity after sintering process. The microspheres were sintered in air atmosphere at temperatures ranging from 500 to 900 °C. The starting hollow HAP microspheres and the sintered specimens were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, specific surface area analyzer, and Hg porosimetry, respectively. The as-prepared microspheres consisted of calcium deficient hydroxyapatite. The results showed that the as-prepared hollow HAP microspheres had the highest specific surface areas, and the biggest total pore volume. The pore size distribution of the as-prepared hollow HAP microspheres were mainly the mesopores in the range of 2～40 nm. The specific surface area and total pore volume of hollow HAP microspheres decreased with increasing sintering temperature. Whereas the mean pore size increased with increasing sintering temperature. It showed that at 700°C, Ca-dHAP decomposes into a biphasic mixture of HAP and β-calcium phosphate(TCP).

In this paper, MnO<sub>2</sub> catalyst were firstly prepared and modified by four kinds of anionic precursors (i.e., NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>, AC<sup>-</sup>, SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup> and Cl<sup>-</sup>) through redox precipitation method. After that, bio-treated coking wastewater (BTCW) was prepared and employed as targeted pollutants to investigate the catalytic ozonation performance of prepared-MnO<sub>2</sub> catalyst was investigated and characterized by the removal efficiencies and mechanism of the prepared bio-treated coking wastewater (BTCW), which was employed as the targeted pollutants. Specifically, the effects of specific surface area, crystal structure, valence state of Mn element and lattice oxygen content on catalytic activity of MnO<sub>2</sub> materials were characterized by BET, XRD and XPS, respectively. Results showed that COD of BTCW could be removed 47.39% under MnO<sub>2</sub>-NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> catalyst with 2 h reaction time, which was much higher than that of MnO<sub>2</sub>-AC<sup>-</sup> (3.94%), MnO<sub>2</sub>-SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup> (12.42%), MnO<sub>2</sub>-Cl<sup>-</sup> (12.94%) and pure O<sub>3</sub> without catalyst (21.51%), respectively. So, MnO<sub>2</sub>-NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> presented the highest catalytic performance among these catalysts. The reason may be attributed to a series of better physiochemical properties including the smaller average grain, the larger specific surface area and active groups, more crystal defect and oxygen vacancy, higher relative content of Mn<sup>3+</sup> and adsorbed oxygen (O<sub>ads</sub>) than that of another three catalysts.

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of biogenic and synthetic starting materials on properties of porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) bioceramics. HAp powders were synthesized by modified precipitation method using biogenic calcium carbonates (ostrich (Struthio camelus) egg shells, hen (Gallus gallus domesticus) egg shells, snail (Viviparus contectus) shells) and synthetic calcium oxides (Sigma-Aldrich and Fluka). Specific surface area, molecular structure and morphology of obtained powders were determined. As-synthesized HAp powders had a varied specific surface area with a wide range from 83 to 150 m2g-1 depending on CaO source. Porous bodies of HAp were prepared by in situ viscous mass foaming with NH4HCO3 as pore forming agent. Foamed and dried green bodies were sintered at 1100 °C. The obtained bioceramics were investigated using Archimedes method, field emission scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method. There are considerable differences between porous HAp bioceramics structures prepared from different sources of CaO. The choice of starting material substantially affects the macro-and microstructure of prepared porous bioceramics.

Manganese Oxide Catalysts

Manganese oxide catalysts, including γ-MnO2, Mn2O3 and Mn3O4, were synthesized by a precipitation method using different precipitants and calcination temperatures. The catalytic oxidations of benzene and 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) were then carried out. The effects of the calcination temperature on the catalyst morphology and activity were investigated. It was found that the specific surface area and reducibility of the catalysts decreased with the increase in the calcination temperature, and both the γ-MnO2 and Mn3O4 were converted to Mn2O3. These catalysts showed good activity and selectivity for the benzene and 1,2-DCE oxidation. The γ-MnO2 exhibited the highest activity, followed by the Mn2O3 and Mn3O4. The high activity could be associated with the large specific surface area, abundant surface oxygen species and excellent low-temperature reducibility. Additionally, the catalysts were inevitably chlorinated during the 1,2-DCE oxidation, and a decrease in the catalytic activity was observed. It suggested that a higher reaction temperature could facilitate the removal of the chlorine species. However, the reduction of the catalytic reaction interface was irreversible.

A series of Cu-based catalysts for the synthesis of indole by the reaction of aniline and ethylene glycol were prepared and characterized by ICP-AES and XRD. The results indicated that the activity and stability of Cu/SiO2 catalyst was increased after adding Zn, Mn, Cr and Fe promoters. Mn promoter was favorable for the dispersion of Cu, Zn, Cr, Fe and enlarged the specific surface area of catalysts. It could be seen that the catalysts prepared by impregnation method had better stability and higher activity than the catalysts prepared by co-precipitation method. The catalysts with small grain size of Cu had higher activity than those with big grain size. Some catalysts showed excellent performances in this reaction.

Nanorod-shaped zinc stannate Zn2SnO4 (ZTO) with great photocatalytic activity was successfully synthesized via a co-precipitation method. In this paper, a strong base (NaOH) and a weak base (Na2CO3) are adopted as precipitants in order to form the precursor precipitate. The titration endpoints are fixed at pH6, pH8, and pH10 in order to adjust the solution precipitant quantity. Dependent variables above were not seen in other research before. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show that the powders synthesized were ZTO nano-particles. Photocatalytic activity of the powders was measured utilizing a photocatalytic degradation reaction with methylene blue (MB) solution. The smallest particles were obtained by utilizing NaOH as a precipitant and adjusting pH to 6. Based on TEM images, the ZTO had nano-rod particle morphology. However, when precipitant Na2CO3 was utilized, particles agglomerated together, reducing specific surface area. Hence, the former sample shows better photocatalytic activity than the latter one. Consequently, powders titrated to pH6 by precipitant NaOH and calcined for 1 hour will form partly nano-rod particles with slight agglomeration, increasing the specific surface area of ZTO and bringing about the best photocatalytic characteristics.
