This study investigates the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA). The degradation affecting factors including solution ozone dosage, initial concentration, pH, temperature and ultraviolet. The results indicated that when the ozone contents changes, the BPAs degradation rate changes as well. The higher ozone concentration contribute to the faster degradation; With the increase of initial concentration of BPA, the removal rate of it decrease on the contrary, while with the initial concentration increases, the quality of unit ozone degradation of BPA is ascenting and then tend to a constant; The remove rate of BPA is improving when the pH value vary from 4.86~10.34. The effect of BPAs ozonation in higher temperatures is better than it is in lower temperature; Ultraviolet radiation is also favorable for the removal of BPA as it can shorten the reaction time as well as reduce the amount of ozone.

Nanoscale titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been fabricated through a sound sol-gel method at room temperature with Tetra-n-butyl Titanate as the precursor, and the particles are characterized by XRD and TEM techniques. The results manifest that the as-prepared TiO2 is amorphous with the anatase structure and its size is around 33.2nm. Five factors, including dosage of TiO2, initial concentration of diesel, pH value, photocatalytic degradation reaction time and the presence of H2O2, are considered in the diesel degradation experiments. An orthogonal test is carried out to optimize the photocatalytic degradation of diesel pollutants based on the single-factor experiments. It reveals that when the dosage of TiO2 is 1.0g/L, the initial concentration of diesel is 0.5g/L, pH value is 6, the reaction time is 4h and the H2O2 dosage is 0.09%, the removal rate of diesel pollutants can up to 88%. Besides, the influence of each factor on removing diesel can be arranged in decreasing order: initial concentration of diesel> photocatalytic reaction time> pH value> TiO2 dosage> H2O2 dosage.

The Fe3+-doped nano-TiO2 catalyst with various amounts of dopant Fe3+ irons was prepared by a sol-gel method. The products were characterized by XRD and SEM. The photocatalytic degradation of ammonia nitrogen in aquaculture wastewater was investigated by using Fe3+-doped nano-TiO2 under UV irradiation. In the experiment, the effect of Fe3+/TiO2 dosage, the ratio of dopant Fe3+, ammonia-N initial concentration, pH value, H2O2 volume concentration, and reaction time, respectively, on the removal of ammonia-N was investigated. The experimental results can be stated as follows: when the ratio of dopant Fe3+ was 0.25% wt, the dosage of Fe3+/TiO2 was 0.7 g/L, the initial concentration of ammonia-N was 10 mg/L, H2O2 volume fraction was 4 %, respectively, if the reaction time may last 4 h, the removal rate of ammonia-N was expected to reach 97.17 %.

Abstract. The research objects were the soils along the river and river sediment of the fourth Liuhe river in Nanjing chemical industrial park. Degrading dynamics of brilliant blue in soils and river sediment and its affecting factors were studied through soil sterilization, the control of temperature and initial concentration of brilliant blue. The degradation rate of brilliant blue in non-sterilized soils and river sediment was respectively 1.010-1.023 times and 1.019-1.051 times of that in sterilized soils and river sediment in 45 d. The degradation quality of brilliant blue in soils and river sediment by microorganism was 0.010-0.029 and 0.021-0.057 mg•kg-1. The half-live in non-sterilized treatment was shorter than that in sterilized treatment. In the range of (10±1)°C-(30±1) °C, the degradation of brilliant blue was accelerated with temperature enhancing. At (30±1)°C, the residual quantity of brilliant blue in soils and river sediment was 0.612 and 0.601 mg•kg-1, the residual quantity and the half-live were both smallest.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a potential semiconductor as photocatalyst. Nevertheless, its main absorbance wavelength is in the range of UV light, which consist only a small proportion of solar. In order to utilizing the large proportion of solar light, pure ZnO and Li-doped ZnO nanoparticles with different Li loading (1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 at%) and various calcination temperature (300, 500, 700, 900°C) were synthesized through a co-precipitation method and characterized by XRD and TEM techniques. The photocatalytic abilities of photocatalysts are evaluated in simulated experiments of removing diesel pollutants in seawater under visible illumination. Six factors, Li loadings, calcination temperature, dosage of photocatalyst, reaction time, diesel initial concentration, and pH value of seawater, were taken into consideration in the process of phtotcatalytic degradation of diesel experiments under visible light. An orthogonal experiment was implemented to investigate the best combination of five factors (the factor of reaction time was excluded) which can lead to the highest diesel removal rate. The characterization of as-prepared nano-particles showed that Li element was doped into ZnO, and all particles were of hexagonal wurtzite structure. The average crystal sizes of Li-doped ZnO with various calcination temperature (300, 500, 700 and 900°C) are 15.03, 25.97, 48.63 and 55.48nm, respectively, and consequently, higher calcination temperature will contribute to the aggregation of particles. Doping Li appropriately can improve the photocatalystic ability of ZnO under visible light, which can deduce from the single-factor experiments. Calcination temperature is also an evident factor to affect the photocatalytic ability of photocatalyst. The influence order of factors in decreasing order can also be obtain through the orthogonal experiment and the result was as follows: calcination temperature > Li loading ≈ pH value > initial concentration of diesel > photocatalyst dosage. The best combination of the five factors is as follows, the dosage of catalyst 2.5g/L, initial concentration of diesel 1.5g/L, Li loading of catalyst 1.0 at%, calcinations temperature 900oC and pH value 8.25, the removal rate of diesel pollutants in seawater is expected to reach 77.31%.

Semiconductor ZnO nanocrystal has been synthesized by a sonochemical method and characterized by XRD and SEM techniques. The results indicate that the as-prepared ZnO is of hexagonal wurtzite structure. The photocatalytic degradation of diesel pollutants in seawater is investigated by utilization of ZnO in simulated diesel-polluted seawater exposed to UV irradiation. In the experiment, the influences of ZnO dosage, initial concentration of diesel, pH value, photocatalytic degradation reaction time and the presence of assistance oxidant peroxide, respectively, on the diesel pollutants removal from seawater are investigated. A systematic optimization study is carried out through a orthogonal test on the basis of the results of the single-factor experiments. It reveals that when the experiment is undertaken under the very condition: the ZnO dosage is 1g/L, the initial concentration of diesel 1g/L, the pH value 7, the reaction time 3h and the concentration of peroxide 0.16%, the removal rate of diesel pollutants in seawater is expected to reach 84 %.

The photodegradation of atrazine induced by UV-irradiation in aqueous solution was investigated initially. The affecting factors on the photodetradation were studied and described in details such as atrazine initial concentration, temperature, pH value, exposure intensity, oxidant and co-existing substances. It was found that the atrazine initial concentration had no obvious effect on the photodegradation. With the pH value increasing, photodegradation rates decreased. However, we also observed a positive correlation between the degradation rate of atrazine and temperature, exposure intensity and oxidant while the coexisting organic compounds may decelerate photodegradation of the atrazine in water. In this paper, the degradation products had also been confirmed by using LC-MS.
