Simultaneous photocatalytic reduction/degradation of divalent nickel/naphthalene pollutants in aqueous solutions
摘要： Toxic heavy metals and organic pollutants are simultaneously exist in the wastewater of some industries. This study explores reduction of toxic divalent nickel ions, from either nitrate or sulfate salts, coupled with naphthalene (NA) degradation using titania photocatalyst in an efficient photo-sono reactor. A synergism appears when reduction and degradation treatments perform simultaneously in the media. With initial concentrations of [Ni(II)]0 = 5 mg/L and [NA]0 = 10 mg/L, under dominant mild conditions, removal efficiencies of 54.5% and 56.6% were corresponding to Ni(II) and NA when nickel nitrate was used, respectively. These efficiencies were enhanced to 59.2% and 57.5% with nickel sulfate, all after 90 min operations. For evaluating the mechanism of reactions, reactive oxygen species analysis on solutions as well as FTIR, SEM and BET analysis on the titania nanoparticles, before and after usage, were performed. The reaction kinetic was also followed for individual species in the mixed solution and accordingly, the energy consumption was evaluated for one order of magnitude decrease in pollutants concentration. The high performance of the used method was revealed in comparison to the similar reported reduction/degradation processes.

Fe-TiO <sub/>2</sub> Nanoparticles Synthesized by Green Chemistry for Potential Application in Waste Water Photocatalytic Treatment
摘要： Anatase TiO2 nanoparticles doped with iron ions have been synthesized via the green chemistry method using aqueous extract of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) obtained from Soxhlet extraction and doped by wet impregnation. The TiO2 anatase phase has been doped with Fe3+ (0.05, 0.075, and 0.1 Fe3+ : Ti molar ratio) at 550°C and 350°C, respectively. The scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDS) shows nanoparticle clusters and efficiencies of impregnations between 66.5 and 58.4% depending on the theoretical dopant amount. The electron transmission microscopy (TEM) reveals final particle sizes ranging between 7 and 26 nm depending on the presence or not of the dopant. The cathodoluminescence (CL) and photoluminescence (PL) studies of the doped and undoped nanoparticles show a luminescence signal attributed to surface oxygen vacancies (visible CL emission 380–700 nm and PL emission 350–800 nm); additionally, a decrease in emission intensity is observed due the inhibition of the recombination of the photogenerated electron-holes pairs; moreover, nanopowders were analyzed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry of diffuse reflectance, and the absorption edge of the Fe-TiO2 in comparison to undoped TiO2 is extended greatly toward the visible light. The six bands (A1g + 2B1g + 3Eg) found by Raman spectroscopy and the x-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) confirm that synthesized TiO2 is only anatase phase, which is commonly used as a catalyst in waste water treatment, specifically in heterogeneous photocatalytic processes.
