Waste is a misplaced resource. Herein, anionic (orange II sodium salt and Ponceau 2R) and cationic (Rhodamine B and Methylene blue) dye wastewater assisted photo-treatment (referred as DAPT) method was developed to modify sol-gel synthesized CeO-TiO (CeTi) mixed oxide catalyst. Catalytic activity test results showed that both anionic and cationic dye wastewater could be used as "fuel" of photo-treatment to enhance the activity of CeTi catalyst in NO reduction and dichloromethane oxidation. Characterization and DFT calculation results revealed that DAPT process increased the amount of Ce ions on CeTi samples, which could induce the formation of Ce-V-Ti (oxygen vacancy (V) in Ce-O-Ti short range structure). These Ce-V-Ti defects not only could be adsorption sites for NH, dichloromethane and oxygen, but also promoted the redox shift of Ce+ Ti ⇋ Ce+ Ti by enhancing the oxidizability of Ce and Ti species. Furthermore, defects changed the polarity of Ce-O and Ti-O, which was conducive to the activation of lattice oxygen. All these improvements contributed to the excellent catalytic activity of CeTi catalysts. We expected this work to be instructive on constructing structure-activity over CeO-TiO based catalysts and utilizing dye wastewater.

A simple and non-chemical binding nanofiber (-CD/PA) adsorbent was obtained by electrospinning a mixture of -cyclodextrin (-CD) and polyacrylate (PA). The cationic dyes in wastewater were removed by the host-guest inclusion complex of the -cyclodextrin and the electrostatic interaction between the polyacrylate and the dyes groups. The influence of the content of -cyclodextrin on the surface morphology and adsorption capacity of the nanofiber membrane was discussed, and the optimized adsorption capacity of nanofiber adsorption material was determined.

In this study, a novel synthesis approach was employed to create the KIT-6/TiO photocatalyst with different ratios of Si/Ti. The results of the X-ray diffraction revealed that incorporating TiO with the anatase phase maintained the mesoporous structure of KIT-6 (Korean Institute of Technology 6). The scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope images exhibited unobstructed mesopores, validating their anchoring within the internal structure of the support.

Controllable macromolecular architecture formation via polysaccharide integrated ternary copolymerization was explored in the design of amino-functionalized n-alkyl methacrylate ester-based biohybrids. Ternary poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate-co-hydroxypropyl methacrylate)/sodium-alginate, PDGH/ALG, hybrids were designed using anionic polysaccharide through in-situ radical polymerization. An insight into the effect of ALG on physicochemical structure of ternary hybrids, particularly the interactions between polymeric chains, was created.

Although various biochars from different biomass materials have been developed to remediate dye-contaminated environments, the removal capabilities of pristine biochar for dyes urgently require further enhancement due to insufficient surface adsorption sites. To introduce more adsorption sites, this work proposes a simple approach to fabricate coconut shell biochar (CSB) based adsorbent by anchoring zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) via the active sites provided by polydopamine (PDA)-coated CSB. The nucleation sites provided by the PDA layer promote the dispersion of ZIF-8 on the surface of CSB, resulting in sufficient adsorption sites for removing malachite green (MG) and rhodamine B (RB) from wastewater.
