Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were fabricated via electrospinning technique, and the modified Fe-polyacrylonitrile nanofibers photocatalysts(Fe-AO-n-PAN) were prepared by a reaction between PAN nanofibers (AO-n-PAN) containing amidoxime group and ferric chloride. Then Fe-AO-n-PAN were used as heterogeneous catalysts in the oxidative degradation reaction of C.I. Reactive Red 195(RR195) in water. This paper investigated the influences on the degree of the conversion from nitrile group to amidoxime group (CP%); analyzed the impacts on the Fe (III) ions content (QFe-PAN) in Fe-AO-n-PAN; and studied the effects of QFe-PANon the decoloration rate of the dye. The results indicated that the CP% value were greatly enhanced not only with concentration of NH2OH•HCl increasing, but also gradually with the prolongation of reaction time. In addition, the QFe-PANof Fe-AO-n-PAN increases with the rise of CFeand the CP% value. Finally, Fe-AO-n-PAN have remarkable catalytic activity on the degradation of RR 195, and higher QFe-PANcould promote the catalytic performance of Fe-AO-n-PAN.

Fe (III)-amidoximated PAN fiber complex was prepared and used as a heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst for the oxidative degradation of Reactive Red 195 in water. The nature and concentration effect of inorganic salts on the dye degradation was investigated. Moreover, UV-Vis spectrum was also used to examine the decomposition process of the dye in the presence of the salt. The results indicated that the existence of the inorganic salts limited the photocatalytic degradation of the dye in water. Na2SO4 shows more strong inhibition effect on dye degradation than the other salts at the same conditions. UV-Vis spectrum demonstrated that the decomposition of the aromatic rings in the dye molecules was also reduced in the presence of the salt.

<div> <p>This study is focused on degradation of Direct Black dye, a common azo dye, catalyzed by nickel hydroxide in aqueous solution. Nickel sulfatehexahydrate, sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite were used for synthesis of nickel hydroxide catalyst. The catalytic performance of nickel hydroxide for oxidative degradation of Direct Black dye was examined in terms of discrete parameters like effect of temperature, concentration of dye, stirring speed, time of reaction etc. Curve Expert software was used for kinetics analysis of batch experimental data. Degradation reaction was taking place according to Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. According to this mechanism the reactants react in adsorbed form at the surface of nickel hydroxide catalyst.&nbsp;</p> </div> <p>&nbsp;</p>

AbstractLow temperature oxidation of alcohols over heterogeneous catalysts is exceptionally challenging, particularly under neutral conditions. Herein, we report on an efficient, base-free method to oxidise glycerol over a 0.5%Pd-0.5%Fe/SiO2 catalyst at ambient temperature in the presence of gaseous H2 and O2. The exceptional catalytic performance was attributed to the in situ formation of highly reactive surface-bound oxygenated species, which promote the dehydrogenation on the alcohol. The PdFe bimetallic catalyst was determined to be significantly more active than corresponding monometallic analogues, highlighting the important role both metals have in this oxidative transformation. Fe leaching was confirmed to occur over the course of the reaction but sequestering experiments, involving the addition of bare carbon to the reactions, confirmed that the reaction was predominantly heterogeneous in nature. Investigations with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy suggested that the reactivity in the early stages was mediated by surface-bound reactive oxygen species; no homogeneous radical species were observed in solution. This theory was further evidenced by a direct H2O2 synthesis study, which confirmed that the presence of Fe in the bimetallic catalyst neither improved the synthesis of H2O2 nor promoted its decomposition over the PdFe/SiO2 catalyst.

Biomass-derived materials are put forward as eco-friendly alternatives to design heterogeneous catalysts. To contribute in this field, we explored the potential of mesoporous biogenic silica (RH-Silica) obtained from lignocellulosic waste, in particular from rice husk, as an inorganic support to prepare heterogenized iron oxide-based catalysts. Mechanochemistry, considered as a green and sustainable technique, was employed to synthetize iron oxide nanoparticles in pure hematite phase onto the biosilica (α-Fe2O3/RH-Silica), making this material a good candidate to perform catalyzed organic reactions. The obtained material was characterized by different techniques, and its catalytic activity was tested in the selective oxidation of styrene under microwave irradiation. α-Fe2O3/RH-Silica displayed a good catalytic performance, achieving a conversion of 45% under optimized conditions, and more importantly, with a total selectivity to benzaldehyde. Furthermore, a good reusability was achieved without decreasing its activity after multiple catalytic cycles. This work represents a good example of using sustainable approaches and green materials as alternatives to conventional methods in the production of high-added value products.

In recent decades, a great deal of attention has been paid to the exploration of alternative and sustainable resources to produce biofuels and valuable chemicals, with aims of reducing the reliance on depleting confined fossil resources and alleviating serious economic and environmental issues. In line with this, lignocellulosic biomass-derived lactic acid (LA, 2-hydroxypropanoic acid), to be identified as an important biomass-derived commodity chemical, has found wide applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. In spite of the current fermentation of saccharides to produce lactic acid, sustainability issues such as environmental impact and high cost derived from the relative separation and purification process will be growing with the increasing demands of necessary orders. Alternatively, chemocatalytic approaches to manufacture LA from biomass (i.e., inedible cellulose) have attracted extensive attention, which may give rise to higher productivity and lower costs related to product work-up. This work presents a review of the state-of-the-art for the production of LA using homogeneous, heterogeneous acid, and base catalysts, from sugars and real biomass like rice straw, respectively. Furthermore, the corresponding bio-based esters lactate which could serve as green solvents, produced from biomass with chemocatalysis, is also discussed. Advantages of heterogeneous catalytic reaction systems are emphasized. Guidance is suggested to improve the catalytic performance of heterogeneous catalysts for the production of LA.

Carbonaceous deposits on heterogeneous catalysts are traditionally associated with catalyst deactivation. However, they can play a beneficial role in many catalytic processes, e.g. dehydrogenation, hydrogenation, alkylation, isomerisation, Fischer–Tropsch, MTO etc. This review highlights the role and mechanism by which coke deposits can enhance catalytic performance.

In this work various amount of phosphomolybdic acid (PMo) were immobilized on amine functionalized SBA-15 and used as heterogeneous catalysts in the epimerization of glucose in aqueous solution. 13.3PMo/NH2-SBA-15 exhibited the best catalytic performance with a glucose conversion of 34.8% and mannose selectivity of 85.6% within two hours at 120 °C. The activation energy of 80.1 ± 0.1 kJ·mol−1 was lower than that of 96 kJ·mol−1 over the homogeneous H3PMo12O40 catalyst. The catalytic activities of 13.3PMo/NH2-SBA-15 for the transformation of some other aldoses including mannose, arabinose and xylose were also investigated.

Abstract Activated carbon/CuO (AC/CuO) composites was prepared through a facile one-step hydrothermal method and used as a bifunctional material for adsorption and catalysis degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). The composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The obtained AC/CuO exhibited excellent adsorption and catalytic performance. The maximum adsorption capacity of BPA on the AC/CuO was 319.03 mg/g according to the Langmuir fitting. At an initial BPA concentration of 20 mg/L, the BPA degradation efficiencies were maintained above 96% for 15 min by using 20 mg/L AC/CuO and 2 mM peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Moreover, the relationship between adsorption and catalytic degradation was also investigated. The results indicated that the pre-adsorption disfavored the degradation reaction. This work not only provides a novel preparation method for AC/CuO catalyst, but also gives a deeper insight into the mechanisms between adsorption and catalytic degradation.
