A comparison study examines six different metal oxides (CuO, ZnO, FeO, CoO, NiO, and α-MnO) for the degradation of malachite green dye using four distinct processes. These processes are as follows: sonocatalysis (US/metal oxide), sonocatalysis under ultra-violet irradiation (US/metal oxide/UV), sonocatalysis in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (US/metal oxide/HO), and a combination of all these processes (US/metal oxide/UV/HO). The effective operating parameters, such as the dosage of metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs), the type of the process, and the metal oxides' efficiency order, were studied.

The study describes the loading of the quartz SiO nanoparticles (NPs) with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) linker with simultaneous lengthening of the linker through the terminal amine group by glutaraldehyde (GA). The reactive polyethylenimine (PEI) was introduced to the surface to increase the ability to capture Cu(II) ions. The composite got the abbreviation SiO/PEI-Cu(II).

FeO NPs are synthesized by the co-precipitation technique. Moreover, the pristine was coated by silica layer and then functionalized by 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTS). The sample possessed saturation magnetization with value equals 37 emu/g which made them to easily separate using external magnet.

The kinetics of the homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic oxidation processes of three azo dyes in presence of copper (II) - ions, copper (II) - ions - supported on alumina and on zinc oxide as well as copper ammonia complex supported on alumina were investigated in aqueous solutions. The dyes are Chromotrope 2B (C2B), Chromotrope 2R (C2R) and Chrysophenen (CRY). The reaction progress was followed by monitoring the decrease in absorbance at ℷmax 512, 511 and 401 nm, respectively.

The degradation of title dyes with ferrioxalate and H(2)O(2) couple has been investigated spectrophotometrically. In the absence of either one of the oxidizing agents no degradation occurred. The reaction rate was proportional to moderate concentrations of the dye and H(2)O(2).

The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with some Fe(II) Schiff base complexes were investigated spectrophotometrically in aqueous solution at pH 8 and 35 degrees C under pseudo-first-order conditions. The used ligands were derived from salicylaldehyde or o-hydroxynaphthaldehyde and some amino acids (l-leucine, l-iso-leucine, l-serine, l-methionine and dl-tryptophan). It was found that the formation of the purple interaperoxo complex appears only above pH 7.

This paper is devoted to the preparation of polyaniline/MnO2 (PANI/MnO2) composites via chemical oxidation of aniline in H2SO4 medium using beta-MnO2 as an oxidant. The parameters affecting the polymerization reaction are considered. These parameters are [aniline], amount of beta-MnO2, stirring time, and polymerization temperature.

The adsorption and the kinetics of the intercalation of metanil yellow dye, p-aminodiphenylamine (p-NH(2)-DPA), and benzidine by colloidally dispersed Na(+)-montmorillonte (Na(+)-MMT) have been studied. The adsorption isotherm parameters confirmed the occurrence of chemical adsorption that is based on the cation-exchange process. The selectivity of these compounds toward Na(+)-MMT follows the order metanil yellow View Article and Find Full Text PDF

Kinetics of the oxidative degradation of pyrocatechol violet dye (PCV) [2-[(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)(3-hydroxy-4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene) methyl]-benzenesulfonic acid] by H(2)O(2) catalyzed by supported transition metal complexes have been studied. The reaction was followed by conventional UV-vis spectrophotometer at lambda(max)=440 nm in a buffer solution at pH 5.1.

The kinetics of the sorption of aromatic amines such as o-aminophenol (o-AP), o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA), and p-phenylenediamine (p-PDA) onto Amberlite anion-exchange resin in chloride form was investigated in batch experiments spectrophotometrically at different temperatures. The sorption rate is zero order in all amines sorbed, increasing directly in the order: p-PDA View Article and Find Full Text PDF
