Developing simple and effective synthetic strategies regarding the formation of heterostructure photocatalytic semiconductors remains an intense challenge in research matters. Uniform heterostructure cobalt oxide@meso–CN@MoS2 (CoO@meso–CN@MoS2) photocatalyst exhibits excellent photocatalytic redox performance for pollutant degradation under visible light. By adjusting the weight ratio of CoO@meso–CN and MoS2, we fabricated a CoO@meso–CN@MoS2 heterostructure photocatalyst, and the established heterostructure between CoO@meso–CN and MoS2 was indicated by various physicochemical and morphological characterizations. The photocatalytic response to the fabricated hybrid was determined by rodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB), and congo red (CR) degradation in aqueous solution under visible light, and the nanocomposites with a slight content consisting of CoO@meso–CN achieved better catalysis than pure MoS2. This finding confirmed the propriety of this heterostructure as a valuable photocatalyst. The experimental results demonstrated that the apparent reaction rate constant of the 3 wt% CoO@meso–CN modified MoS2 was about two times higher than that of pure MoS2. The present work serves as a new approach for designing highly efficient visible light-induced heterostructure-based photocatalysts for environmental applications in the future.

Spherical sponge iron (SSI) with high activity and intension could be prepared through direct reduction by hydrogen. To optimize the reduction technology of SSI and its removal ability for nitrate from wastewater, the influence of reduction time of SSI on nitrate removal percentage was investigated. Because the specific surface area was impact smartly by the reduction time of SSI, it was suggested that nitrate removal ability of SSI should declined with the increasing of reduction time once the reduction time longer than the optimized reduction time. When the reduction time was t1, nitrate removal percentage reached to the maximum. When the nitrate original concentration was 5mg-N/L, the reaction order was closed to 0.7 and the apparent reaction rate constant was 0.323 to 0.359 h-1. When nitrate original concentration increased to 50 mg-N/L, nitrate removal reaction appeared to be the pseudo-first-order reaction, and the apparent reaction rate constant was 0.314 to 0.248 h-1.

The apparent reaction rate constant needed to generate reducing sugar was determined by heating a thin slice of sweet potato using thermal conductive heating. This value was used to predict reducing sugar production in sweet potatoes cooked by electromagnetic irradiation. The generation of reducing sugar in the thin slice was not observed at temperatures <65°C or >85°C, but it increased linearly during the early stage of heating. The Arrhenius plot had a peak of approximately 83°C, allowing determination of the values for activation energy and frequency factor. Then, using the values obtained for apparent reaction rate constant, the yields of reducing sugar in sweet potatoes cooked by infrared (IR) and microwave (MW) heating were calculated and compared with experimental data. Although the calculated values exceeded the experimental values in the early stages of electromagnetic irradiative heating, the calculated amounts of reducing sugar generally agreed with the experimental values. Moreover, when the time needed to heat the sweet potato from 65°C to 85 °C was longer than approximately 8 min, the yield of reducing sugar was maximized for both MW and IR heating. These results indicated that the yield of reducing sugar did not depend on the heat transfer mechanism and that the amount of reducing sugar produced in heat-treated sweet potatoes could be predicted.

Spherical sponge iron (SSI) with high activity and intension could be prepared through direct reduction by charcoal or hydrogen. The capability of cadmium removal by SSI was investigated in. It was suggested that the reaction of SSI reduced by hydrogen was higher than that reduced by charcoal, and the increasing rate of pH and cadmium removal in solution by SSI reduced by hydrogen was higher than that reduced by charcoal. Moreover, cadmium removal percentage by SSI reduced with hydrogen was much higher than that reduced by charcoal. When the original concentration of cadmium was 50mg/L, cadmium removal by SSI appeared to be the pseudo-first-order reaction because the reaction order was from 0.861 to 0.984. The apparent reaction rate constant of cadmium removal by SSI reduced with charcoal was 0.586 h-1. While hydrogen was utilized as reduction agent, the apparent reaction rate constant of cadmium removal was increased by 7.3 and 13.7 times.

Spherical sponge iron (SSI) with high activity and intension could be prepared through direct reduction by hydrogen. To optimize the reduction technology of SSI and its removal ability for nitrate from wastewater, the influence of reduction temperature of SSI on nitrate removal was investigated. It was suggested that nitrate removal ability of SSI increased to the summit and then declined with the increasing of reduction temperature. When the reduction temperature of was T4, nitrate removal percentage reached to the maximum. When the original concentration of nitrate was only 5 mg-N/L, the additive quantity of SSI could prove plenty of zero-valent iron in a short time, and reduction temperature of SSI has little influence on nitrate removal. Nitrate removal by SSI appeared to be the pseudo-first-order reaction despite of reduction temperature. While nitrate original concentration was elevated to 50mg-N/L, the reaction order declined to the range of from 0.534 to 0.629 which was closed to 0.5, and the apparent reaction rate constant was 1.411 to 1.773 h-1.

Spherical sponge iron (SSI) with high activity and intension could be could be utilized to remove nitrate from wastewater. Influence of reaction temperature on nitrate removal by SSI from wastewater was investigated. Because of erosion battery reaction of SSI in solution, pH in solution increased quickly once SSI was added in and then maintain above 10 despite of nitrate original concentration. The reaction temperature has certain influence under higher nitrate original concentration, while little influence under lower nitrate concentration. It was concluded that nitrate removal by SSI appeared to be the first-order reaction because most of the reaction order was 1. The apparent reaction rate constant of nitrate removal was change slightly with the reaction temperature. It was suggested that the limited key of nitrate reduction by SSI was the diffusion of reactant because the activity energy, which was 11.37 and 7.24kJ/mol, was lower than 30kJ/mol.

Spherical sponge iron (SSI) with high activity and intension could be prepared through direct reduction by hydrogen. pH value in solution increased despite initial pH because a large amount of H+ was depleted along with erosion battery reaction of SSI. It was suggested that initial pH has significant influence on pH value in solution and cadmium removal percentage by SSI. When the initial pH maintained at 2.03, cadmium removal percentages were only 10.17% and 22.00%, respectively, in 10min and 30min. While the initial pH was adjusted to 3.00, cadmium removal percentage could be elevated to 73.10% and 95.46% in similar libration time. Cadmium removal by SSI appeared to be the first-order reaction. When the initial pH was maintained at 2.03, the apparent reaction rate constant of cadmium removal by SSI was only 0.434 and 1.027 h-1, while which could be elevated to 5.882 and 5.249 h-1 when the initial pH was adjusted to 3.00.

Spherical sponge iron (SSI) with high activity and intension could be prepared through direct reduction by hydrogen. To optimize the reduction technology, thermodynamics of SSI reduction was investigated. Oxygen residue ratio in SSI declined with the reaction time despite of reaction temperature. It was concluded that SSI reduced by hydrogen appeared to be the first-order reaction, and the apparent reaction rate constant k was 0.289 h-1 to 3.819 h-1. Activity energy of SSI reduction was 22.19 kJ•mol-1 and 81.58 kJ•mol-1 corresponding to the lower temperature and higher temperature. When the temperature was lower than T4, the reaction rate was lower. Consequently, the optimized temperature should be controlled more than T5 to elevate the reduction rate.

An alternative method of determining exothermic reactor model parameters which include first order reaction rate constant is described in this paper. The method is based on known in reactor temperature development and is suitable for processes with changing quality of input substances. This method allows us to evaluate the reaction substances composition change and is also capable of the reaction rate constant (parameters of the Arrhenius equation) determination. Method can be used in exothermic batch or semi- batch reactors running processes based on the first order reaction. An example of such process is given here and the problem is shown on its mathematical model with the help of simulations.
