Summary

The powder of zirconium mesostructure (ZM), which was prepared with the

template of surfactant, was successfully entrapped in calcium alginate for

practical application.

This study showed that the zirconium mesostructure bead could be used as a

promising adsorbent material for the treatment of phosphate ion.

Prior to field application, the problem of high cost for preparing ZM powder

should be addressed. It is speculated that the high cost for ZM powder might be

compensated by • increasing the sorption capacity of ZM beads through the removal of

surfactant template which occupies the potential sorption sites in ZM, • regenerating the ZM bead for reuse by chemical treatment or by

electrochemical treatment.• These possibilities are now under estimation, and the results will be

reported minutely in near future.

Introduction : Research Background

Gold nanoparticles have been highlighted to promote the photocatalyticactivity of TiO2 by acting as a role of

The field enhanced light absorption

The assistant for charge separation

The sensitizer for visible light

Surface plasmon resonance originating from the collective oscillations of the electrons on the surface of the gold nanoparticles has been suggested as the essential factor

Visible light can be absorbed by gold nanoparticles due to the surface plasmon resonance which leads to the photoexcited state of the gold nanoparticles followed by the transfer of the electrons into the TiO2

1,4-dioxane which has been widely used as an industrial solvent and as a stabilizer for chlorinated solvent, and is also known as a toxic hazard and is suspected to be a potential carcinogen for humans

• The efficiency of the 1,4-dioxane photodegradation was enhanced by the sample prepared by the leaching procedure.

• In the case of the 30 sec leaching Au–TiO2, 59% of the 1,4-dioxane was decomposed in 4 h reaction.

• Notably, the sample prepared by the 1 h leaching was basically in the same state as the TiO2 itself since no gold moiety was detected.

- TiO2 and/or Au–TiO2powders (0.5 g/l)

- IR filter was installed in front of a light source.

- An Xe-lamp (2 kW) was used as a light source, and its irradiation intensity was calibrated to 100 mW/cm2

Summary

The promoting effect of gold was found to be strongly correlated

with its surface plasmon resonance of which the magnitude is

sensitive to the density and size of gold nanoparticles.

The surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles may assist

to separate the charges created in TiO2, which resulted in

enhancing the catalytic activity of TiO2 for 1,4-dioxane

photodegradation.

Summary

The surface area of the resin-supported nZVI was increased.

Its reaction rate was high in 0.4255 h-1 , and then decreased to

0.0436 h-1 due to the limitation of mass transfer.

Reduction of Nitrate without ammonium release was achieved.

Biological Decolorization and Subsequent Reuse of Textile Reactive Dyes (1)

• Reactive anthraquinone dyes are extensively used due to the increased use of cotton– More than 80% of cotton fibers dyed using reactive dyes

(Reactive dyes share 20-30% of the total dye market)– Anthraquinone dyes are the second most common class of

textile reactive dyes after azo dyes– Under typical reactive dyeing conditions (pH 10,

temperature 60C, salt 60 to 100 g/L), up to 50% of the dye remains in the spent dyebath

• Challenges:– Color (up to 1.0 g/L dye) and salt (up to 100 g/L NaCl)– Highly water soluble (very poorly adsorbed onto the biomass)
