Comparative photocatalytic degradation of cationic rhodamine B and anionic bromocresol green using reduced ZnO: A detailed kinetic modeling approach.

The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), a cationic dye, and bromocresol green (BCG), an anionic dye, was investigated using oxygen vacancy-enriched ZnO as the catalyst. These dyes were selected due to their differing charges and molecular structures, allowing for a deeper exploration of how these characteristics impact the degradation process. The catalyst was prepared by reducing ZnO with 10% H/Ar gas at 500 °C, and the introduction of oxygen vacancies was confirmed using various characterization techniques.

Trimetallic FeNiCu Atomic Clusters Supported on Carbon Matrix: Highly Active Catalysts for CH-SCR of NO.

CH-SCR denitrification technology faces catalyst deactivation problems and low catalytic performance at medium-low temperatures. This study utilized the intermetallic synergies to prepare atomic cluster catalysts (FeNiCu/NC) by anchoring Fe-Ni-Cu on a carbon matrix to enhance the CH-SCR performance at medium-low temperatures. The synergistic effect of the Fe-Ni-Cu is reflected in the differences in the physicochemical properties of the catalysts, which is proved by several characterization techniques.

Evaluation of South Korean marine waste resources for hydrochar production: Effect of process variables.

This study assessed the hydrochar production potential of fish and crustacean waste from 8 marine species (Scomber japonicus, Trichiurus lepturus, Larimichthys polyactis, Trachurus trachurus, Paralichthys olivaceus Litopenaeus vannamei, Portunus trituberculatus, and Penaeus monodon) through hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of their waste fractions. The impact of reaction temperature (200 - 240°C), fixed residence time (5 h), and water-to-biomass ratio (7) on HTC was analyzed. The results showed that hydrochar yields varied between fish (15.

The catalytic efficacy of modified manganese-cobalt oxides for room-temperature oxidation of formaldehyde in air.

Formaldehyde (FA) is a hazardous indoor air pollutant with carcinogenic propensity. Oxidation of FA in the dark at low temperature (DLT) is a promising strategy for its elimination from indoor air. In this light, binary manganese-cobalt oxide (0.

Benzene Oxidation in Air by an Amine-Functionalized Metal-Organic Framework-Derived Carbon- and Nitrogen-Loaded Zirconium Dioxide-Supported Platinum Catalyst.

To learn more about the behavior of amine (NH)-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived noble metal catalysts in the removal of aromatic volatile organic compounds in air, benzene oxidation at low temperatures has been investigated using 0.2-, 0.8-, and 1.
