RESUMO
A novel bis-triazolyl bridged ß-cyclodextrin was first synthesized by the Click reaction between azido-ß-cyclodextrin and 1,6-heptadiyne. Then it was bonded onto silica gel to obtain a bis-triazolyl bridged ß-cyclodextrin-based chiral stationary phase (BCDP). After structure characterization, the HPLC performance of BCDP was systematically evaluated by using different types of compounds as probes. The results showed that BCDP could well separate 18 kinds of achiral aromatic compounds (homologues, positional isomers, etc.) and 35 kinds of chiral drugs or pesticides, such as triazoles (Rs = 1.33-3.15), flavanones (Rs = 1.49-2.62), dansyl amino acids (Rs = 0.96-1.99), and ß-blocker drugs (Rs = 0.68-2.78). BCDP could separate a wider range of compounds (53 kinds); especially, some chiral substance pairs that were difficult to be resolved on the ordinary cyclodextrin CSPs, including triazoles containing two chiral carbons (triadimenol, bitertanol, metconazole, and triticonazole), strongly ionized amino acids (acidic Asp, alkalic Arg, and polar Thr) and ß-blockers with bulky groups (carvedilol, propranolol, and pindolol). Obviously, the unique synergistic inclusion effect of bridged cyclodextrin with double cavities and the bis-triazole bridging group could provide multiple action sites, such as hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking and acid-base action sites, thus improving its chiral chromatographic performance.
RESUMO
In this work, a series of BiOClxBr1-x (BCB) solid solutions are facilely designed for visible-light-driven photocatalytic ozonation (PCO) degradation of florfenicol (FF) in water environments, which could add to the library of efficient, cost-effective and robust nanocatalysts for water purification. BCB solid solutions in the structure of 2D nanosheets are achieved involving the etching of BiOBr "micro-flowers" with HCl at different concentrations, allowing a removal ratio of FF up to 97.3 % within 1 h, superior to bare BiOBr and bare BiOCl. A strengthened synergistic effect between photocatalysis and ozonation is substantiated, where the separation of photo-induced charge transfer is accelerated, the band gap is tuned and the utilization efficiency of ozone is enhanced. This facilitates the production of reactive oxygen species identified as â¢OH, â¢O2-, and 1O2 that will attack the FF molecule for degradation based on three pathways.
RESUMO
In this study, monoclinic BiPO4 nanorods were fabricated by one-pot solvothermal method. Its catalytic capability in photocatalytic ozonation process was tested by degradation and mineralization of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) solution. The results demonstrated that the TOC removal rate was dramatically improved to 90.0% at 75 min for UV/O3/BiPO4 process, which was 4.9 and 3.8 times more than that of UV/BiPO4 and O3. Moreover, the pseudo-first-order kinetic constant (0.337 min-1) and mineralization rate (90.0%) for SDBS degradation using BiPO4 in UV/O3 process were 1.6 and 1.3 times as great as that of conventional TiO2 photocatalyst (0.206 min-1, 67.3%). The influence of BiPO4 dosage, O3 concentration initial pH and coexisted ions on SDBS degradation in UV/O3/BiPO4 process were also investigated. The outcome of quenching studies illustrated both ·OH and h+ contributed prominently to SDBS degradation in UV/O3/BiPO4 process, implying that high valence band position of BiPO4 could promote the synergism between photocatalysis and ozonation. The degradation pathway of SBDS was proposed by combination of intermediates analysis and DFT calculation. Real carwash wastewater was chosen as typical surfactant containing wastewater to explore the practical application of UV/O3/BiPO4 technology. During 30 min, COD and LAS removal efficiency reached 59.7% and 70.6%, respectively. The quality indices of effluent could meet the requirements for reuse of carwash water in Water Quality Standard for Urban Miscellaneous Use in China. Energy consumption in the process was calculated as 13.9 kW h m-3, which was about 3.6 and 2.2 times less than that of UV/BiPO4 and O3 process, respectively. The results suggest that UV/O3/BiPO4 system has an application potential for surfactant containing wastewater treatment or recycle.
