Inverse micelle fabrication of ordered mesoporous manganese oxide and degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride.

Ordered mesoporous manganese oxides (MnO) were synthesized using the modified inverse micelle method. The crystal structure and surface morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The element content and changes in surface valence of catalysts were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Highly efficient Cr(VI) removal from industrial electroplating wastewater over BiS nanostructures prepared by dual sulfur-precursors: Insights on the promotion effect of sulfate ions.

In this work, different BiS nanostructures were prepared from various single and dual sulfide precursors via a solvothermal method. It was found that BiS nanostructures prepared from dual sulfur precursors of L-cysteine and ammonium sulfide exhibited highest Cr(VI) removal ability with maximum Cr(VI) removal capacity of 148.95 mg/g in Cr(VI) solution (pH = 2).

Facile inverse micelle fabrication of magnetic ordered mesoporous iron cerium bimetal oxides with excellent performance for arsenic removal from water.

In this study, magnetic ordered mesoporous Fe/Ce bimetal oxides (OMICs) were successfully synthesized via the modified sol-gel-based inverse micelle method. The textural/structure properties, surface chemistry and adsorption behavior of OMICs could be easily adjusted by using the calcination temperature. The sintering of samples would decrease the surface area, while expand the pore and crystallite size, which resulted in the formation of highly ordered inner-connected structure.

Fabrication uniform hollow BiS nanospheres via Kirkendall effect for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) in electroplating industry wastewater.

Hazardous hexavalent chromium removal from wastewater is an urgent issue in industry environmental pollution. In this work, hollow BiS nanospheres have been successfully synthesized from unique BiO porous nanospheres via Kirkendall effect through hydrothermal process. It was found that the sulfur source and the initial BiO templates played key roles in the formation of the uniform morphologies and structures through an anion exchange process.

Study on the Effect of the Three-Dimensional Electrode in Degradation of Methylene Blue by Lithium Modified Rectorite.

This study presents the electrochemical degradation of methylene blue (MB) wastewater in a synthetic solution using three-dimensional particle electrodes. The novel particle electrodes were fabricated in this work using the lithium modified rectorite (Li-REC). The adsorption property of the fabricated particle electrodes was studied in a series of experiments.
