Novel surface carbon-oxygen-groups grafted TiO2 for selective catalytic reduction of NOx by NH3 at low temperature

Mengyu Li et al.

Summary: A novel surface carbon-oxygen-groups grafted TiO2 catalyst was developed by calcining the solid mixture of polyethylene glycol and TiO2, which exhibited excellent NH3-SCR denitration activity with NOx conversion up to 80% above 210 degrees Celsius. The superior activity of the catalyst was attributed to the formation of lactone and carboxyl groups, promoting the adsorption and activation of NO and NH3 species. NH3 also inhibited the decomposition of carbonyl groups, resulting in good long-term stability of the catalyst.

Removal of paracetamol (acetaminophen) by photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis. A critical review

Enric Brillas et al.

Summary: This article reviews the use of photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis to remove paracetamol (PCT) from water. It was found that pure TiO2 showed fast removal of PCT under UV light, while TiO2-based nanocomposites performed better under visible light. Other photocatalysts such as ZnO, WO3, bismuth-based, and g-C3N4-based were also effective in removing PCT. The effects of pH and other components in the water matrix were examined, revealing lower degradation rates in natural waters and real wastewaters compared to pure water.

Superior Fenton-like and photo-Fenton-like activity of MoS2@TiO2/N-doped carbon nanofibers with phase-regulated and vertically grown MoS2 nanosheets

Yue Li et al.

Summary: In this study, the researchers investigated the effects of phase and vertical structure of Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets on the activation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in Fenton-like reactions. The results showed that the metallic 1 T phase of MoS2 favored the dark-Fenton-like reaction, while the biphase 1 T/2H MoS2 was beneficial for the photo-Fenton-like reaction. The vertical structure of MoS2 nanosheets was found to be more effective in promoting H2O2 activation compared to phase regulation. The study also proposed degradation pathways for tetracycline (TC) and demonstrated the stability and recyclability of the optimized MoS2-based catalysts. This work provides guidance for the design of highly efficient MoS2-based Fenton-like or photo-Fenton-like catalysts.

Summary: Efficient and thorough water disinfection is crucial for protecting human health. This study investigated the use of UVA-LEDs, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), and a boron-doped diamond anode in the UVA/electro-Fenton (E-Fenton) process to treat wastewater. The research found that the synergistic effect of UVA, anodic oxidation, and electro-Fenton can achieve complete disinfection within 50 minutes, with important reactive species like •OH, •O2, and 1O2 playing key roles in E. coli inactivation. The UVA/E-Fenton process was also found to effectively destroy cell structure and DNA. The study concluded that this process is a satisfactory method for water disinfection.
