In this study, we developed an efficient catalysis-oxidation method for the degradation of phenol in wastewater, in which the Fe3O4 nanocrystals and H2O2 were employed as catalyst and oxidation agents respectively. Firstly, Fe3O4 nanocrystal coated with PEG was prepared via an oxygenation-deposition hydrothermal method, TEM, FT-IR, BET and XRD characterization indicated that the prepared Fe3O4 nanocrystals had an average size of 26 nm and the specific surface of 35.25 m2/g. Using the prepared Fe3O4 nanocrystals as catalyst, the phenol in wastewater was efficiently degraded by H2O2. The degradability of the phenol was investigated by FT-IR, HPLC and UV–visible spectrophotometer, and the experimental results showed that the phenol was efficiently degraded by H2O2 and the Fe3O4 nanocrystals could be efficiently recycled. Finally, the possible catalytic reaction mechanisms and pathways of phenol degradation were discussed.

Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles have been synthesized by hydrothermal method using cadmium acetate, thiosemicarbazide, and sodium hydroxide as precursors with hexamethylene tetramine as the surfactant. From the X-ray diffraction analysis, it is observed that synthesized CdS nanoparticles show cubic phase. The presence of HMTA in CdS was confirmed by FT-IR analysis. The bandgap value of CdS nanostructure has been estimated by DRS–UV-Visible spectral analysis. The formation of flower-like nanoclusters was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The application of CdS nanoparticles in photocatalytic degradation was also studied.

Au-ZnO nanomaterials were tested in photodegradation reactions performed under UV-Visible light; Phenol,  Catechol and Hydroquinone were selected as target molecules, and it was found that Hydroquinone is the most sensitive molecule to be degraded under illumination. The Au addition significantly increases the photocatalytic activity of ZnO in the degradation of the phenolic compounds and the Au content is an important factor influencing the physicochemical properties of the nanomaterials synthesized and therefore the effectiveness of the photocatalytic treatment. The highest effectiveness in the phenolic compounds elimination was achieved by using ZnO modified by the addition of 2 wt.% of gold, this is due to the highest absorption of this material in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. By HPLC analyzes, it was determined that the degradation route of the phenolic compounds depends on the photocatalyst employed in the catalytic reaction and on the substrate to be degraded, thus, Phenol degradation takes place by formation of more intermediate compounds than the observed in Catechol or Hydroquinone photodegradation.

The solubility of the compound is a crucial task for new drug design. Quinone is a promising candidate to develop as a new drug. In this research, the synthesis of 1,4-benzoquinone derivatives, that is, 2-(5-bromoamyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (2a) and 2-(5-bromoamyl)-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (2b) were carried out by decarboxylation and insertion reaction of alkyl bromides. The product 2a and 2b are purified using SiO2 gel column chromatography and analyzed by UV-Visible, FT-IR, and NMR. The yield of 2a is 13.75%, and 2b is 4.04%. The solubility of 2a and 2b, expressed by log P, is measured in the n-octanol/water (3:7 (v/v)) system by the shake flask method. The log P of 2a and 2b are 2.99 and 1.36, respectively. It is showed that the log P of 2a is higher compared to 2b. The presence of two methyl substituents on the quinone ring of 2a supports the increase of hydrophobicity of the compound in the n-octanol/water system.

Negative thermal expansion material ZrW2O8 was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The prepared ZrW2O8 and the precursor were characterized by x-ray diffractometer, thermo-gravimetric/differential thermal analyzer, FT-IR spectrometer and scanning electron microscope. The results show that a single-phase ZrW2O8 can be synthesized when HCl concentration is as low as 4mol/L. ZrW2O8 was obtained through the precursor dehydration and debonding O-H bond. The dehydration reaction includes two stages. There is a sharp endothermic peak in the first stage of the dehydration reaction and the second stage is a slow endothermic process. A new phase appeared when the sintering temperature is above 600 °C. ZrW2O8 and the precursor have the same rod-like shape and grow up along a specific direction. The synthesized ZrW2O8 particles obtained from 4mol/L HCl appeared large size. It became much finer and the rod with multiple crystal face was easy to form when the concentration of HCl increased to 6~8 mol/L.

AbstractThis article reports an amide based Chemosensor used for selective detection of divalent Cu+2 and Ni+2 ions via Fluorescence turn off. The selective sensing ability of Chemosensor was investigated in presence of different metal ions Mg2+, Ag+, Fe2+, K+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Hg2+, Pb2+, Mn2+, Pd2+, Cd2+ and Mn3+ as competitive ions. The receptor i. e. Chemosensor formed complexes with metal ions in 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. The detection limit and binding constant calculated as 1.92×10–4 and 1.4×10–4 M and 2.16×103 M−1 and 3.09×103 M−1 for Cu2+ and Ni2+ions respectively. The complexes were characterized by UV/visible, FT-IR, 13C NMR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Further the structure and Crystallinity were calculated by P-XRD spectral analysis. The crystallinity found to be 65.27 and 67.87% respectively

Highly crystalline titania nano-particles were synthesized by hydrothermal method using novel stable water-soluble titanium complexes. It was confirmed that single phase anatase, rutile and brookite, which can be rarely synthesized as a single phase, can be obtained by varying the ligand in the complex and pH of the aqueous solution. TEM observations and BET specific surface area measurements had shown that these samples consisted of nanosized particles of 5~200 nm and had high specific surface areas of 25~150 m2/g. According to UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra, these titania samples absorbed light in the visible region (λ > 400 nm). Photocatalytic activities in NO oxidation reaction exhibited by synthesized titania powders under the irradiation by UV- visible light were higher than the activity of the commercial TiO2 photocatalyst P25 (Degussa). Especially, under illumination by only visible light of above 510 nm wavelength, photocatalytic activity of the obtained specimens exceeded that of P25 more than four times. We also clearly demonstrated that single phase brookite had high photocatalytic activity for NO oxidation.

Ferroelectric nanocrystal powders of SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT) have been first prepared by a polymerizable complex (PC) route. The bismuth powder, strontium carbonate, and water-soluble tantalum oxalate solution were used as starting materials. Thermal analyses (TGA and DSC), x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and conventional BET method were explored to characterize the structure, morphology, and specific surface area of PC-derived SBT powders calcined at 500-850 °C. As control samples, SBT powders were also fabricated by metalorganic decomposition (MOD) method. The XRD and TEM results indicate that high pure and well crystalline powders can be obtained at 650 °C with a average size of 50 nm. The PC-derived powder has much larger surface area than MOD-derived powder. The BET value of PC and MOD powder at 750 °C for 2h is 6.7 and 1.5m2/g, respectively. The specific surface area of powder prepared by conventional solid-state reaction is quite low, typically less than 1.5m2/g. Therefore, the feasibility of the polymerizable complex route is demonstrated in the powder synthesis of SBT with large surface area.
