Preparation of chabazite based Fenton-like heterogeneous catalyst and its organic micropollutant removal performance

2023-04-01
Natural chabazite (CHA) is used for the first time as a heterogeneous catalyst in Fenton-like oxi- dation. Pretreatment techniques (NH4+-exchange, steam treatment, and Fe-exchange) were ap- plied to natural CHA to improve the available micropore and mesopore volume as well as to in- crease Fe-content. CHA samples were characterized by XRD, N2 adsorption, UV–Vis, SEM-EDX, ICP-OES, and MAS NMR to study the improvement after each pretreatment. Steam treatment at 675 °C and 20 kPa improved the mesopore volume of CHA, which enabled Fe3+ concentration to increase from 0.24 to 0.60 mmol Fe3+ g CHA−1 following the Fe-exchange. The Fe-exchanged CHA (Fe-CHA) was then tested for malathion oxidation. The effect of H2O2 and catalyst doses and pH on the degradation of malathion was investigated. Fenton-like oxidation was realized at a higher and wider pH range (pH 3–7) when compared to classical Fenton. A malathion removal between 20 and 81% was achieved depending on the initial malathion concentration (250–750 μg L−1), Fenton Reagents (H2O2 and Fe-CHA) concentrations (75–300 mg L−1 and 250–750 mg L−1, respectively) and pH (3–7). The metabolites of malathion were identified as malaoxon, desmethyl malaoxon and diethyl malate. A possible oxidation pathway was proposed, where desmethyl malaoxon and diethyl malate were identified as the secondary oxidation prod- ucts. Moreover, the performance of Fe-CHA was compared with commercially available synthetic zeolites of Fe-Ultra-stable Y and Fe-ZSM-5. Fe-CHA is found to be comparably effective as these synthetic zeolites, as well as providing substantially smaller sludge production when compared to classical Fenton.

Khalily, Mohammad Aref; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Chemistry (2011)
The synthesis of enantiopure compounds can be achieved by using dehydrogenases as biocatalysts. For instance, reduction reactions of prochiral compounds (ketones, aldehydes and nitriles) into chiral compounds can be achieved by dehydrogenases. These dehydrogenases are cofactor dependent where cofactor is Nicotinamide Adenin Dinucleotite having some restrictions that confines usage of dehydrogenases in organic synthesis including instability of cofactor in water and high cost. Therefore, suitable recycling m...
Synthesis of ferrocenyl quinolines
Zora, Metin (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-01)
A convenient one-pot synthesis of ferrocenyl-substituted quinolines via a molecular iodine-catalyzed reaction of ferrocenylimines with enolizable aldehydes is reported. First, nucleophilic addition of the in situ generated enol to ferrocenylimine produces beta-anilinopropionaldehyde, which then undergoes intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction to give dihydroquinoline derivative. Finally, subsequent dehydration and aerobic oxidation affords ferrocenyl quinolines.

2,5-Di(thiophen-2-yl)-1-p-tolyl-1H-pyrrole (DTTP) was synthesized via reaction of 1,4-di(2-thienyl)-1,4-butanedione with p-toluidine in the presence of catalytical amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA). Homopolymer P(DTTP) was achieved both by chemical and electrochemical techniques. Chemical polymerization of the monomer yielded a soluble polymer. The average molecular weight was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) as Mn: 2.5x103 g/mol. The monomer was electrochemically polymerized in the p...

Synthesis of a series of new conjugated electrochromic polymeric pyridinium salts containing main-chain triphenylamine and their electrochromic properties were demonstrated.

The electrochromic properties of the films were investigated by electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods. Reversible redox signals with stable electr...
