The role of catalysts in the development of improved bleaching methods is of paramount scientific and industrial importance in the bleaching of raw cotton and laundry stains. Despite tremendous efforts, developing novel earth abundant metal nanocatalysts with high activity and stability remains a great challenge. Here, we demonstrate the successful formation of earth abundant transition metal-chelated layer-by-layer hyaluronic acid/chitosan polyelectrolyte-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Metal@PEM-MSNPs) as novel bleaching nanocatalysts. Metal@PEM-MSNPs have been tested for both the oxidative degradation of a natural plant dye in solution and tea- and beetroot- stains on cotton fabrics. While manganese and iron-chelated PEM-MSNPs (Mn2+@PEM-MSNPs and Fe2+@PEM-MSNPs) have little catalytic activity, cobalt-chelated PEM-MSNPs (Co2+@PEM-MSNPs) display an unexpected, surprisingly high activity in the oxidation reaction under the same experimental conditions. The results suggest that Co2+@PEM-MSNPs are excellent nanocatalytic systems for the low temperature bleaching (<30 C-0) and the design strategy used in Metal@PEM-MSNP nanocatalysts can further be extended to prepare a wide range of highly active self-assembled bio-inspired nanocatalysts for catalytic bleaching and other organic transformations.

Catalytic Ozonation of Dye Solutions in a Semi-Batch Reactor
Pirgalıoğlu, Saltuk; Özbelge, Ayşe Tülay; Department of Chemical Engineering (2008)
Treatment of textile wastewaters containing dye materials using the conventional methods based on biological treatment is not possible. In order to overcome this problem, ozonation based on the oxidation of organic pollutants with ozone gas dissolved in aqueous phase have been studied widely. Catalytic ozonation and advanced oxidation processes (AOP) are also used in order to increase the efficiency of sole ozonation In this work, catalytic ozonation processes in the presence of Copper Sulfide (CuS) powder ...

Treatment of textile wastewaters containing dyes has not been very successful by conventional methods such as biological treatment. In order to overcome this problem, ozonation based on the oxidation of organic pollutants has been studied by researchers. Catalytic ozonation and advanced oxidation processes (ACPs) are used in order to increase the efficiency of sole ozonation further. In this work, catalytic ozonation in the presence of copper sulfide (CuS) powder as a catalyst was investigated in the treatm...
Adsorption of reactive yellow 145 onto chitosan coated magnetite nanoparticles
Kalkan, Nuzhet Ayca; AKSOY, SERPİL; Aksoy, Eda Ayse; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2012-04-05)
Removal of dyes from the industrial discharge water is an important issue for safety of the environment. In this study, magnetic (magnetite, Fe3O4) nanoparticles were coated with chitosan (CS) and the efficiency of these chitosan coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4-CS) for the adsorption of a reactive textile dye (Reactive Yellow 145, RY145) was examined first time in literature. TEM, XRD, and EPR results revealed that the thickness of the coat was about 25 nm, no phase change in the spinel structure of ma...
Formaldehyde Selectivity in Methanol Partial Oxidation on Silver: Effect of Reactive Oxygen Species, Surface Reconstruction, and Stability of Intermediates
Karatok, Mustafa; Şensoy, Mehmet Gökhan; Vovk, Evgeny I.; Toffoli, Hande; Toffoli, Daniele; Ozensoy, Emrah (2021-01-01)
Selective oxidation reactions on heterogeneous silver catalysts are essential for the mass production of numerous industrial commodity chemicals. However, the nature of active oxygen species in such reactions is still debated. To shed light on the role of different oxygen species, we studied the methanol oxidation reaction on Ag(111) single-crystal model catalyst surfaces containing two dissimilar types of oxygen (electrophilic, Oe and nucleophilic, On). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low energy elect...
Indigo dyeing wastewater treatment by the membrane based filtration process
Ünlü, Meltem; Yetiş, Ülkü; Department of Environmental Engineering (2008)
In the present study, the recovery of the indigo dyeing rinsing wastewater originating from a denim textile mill to the degree of reuse quality, which generally requires nanofiltration (NF), was investigated. In order to control flux decline and hence to maintain an efficient NF; coagulation, microfiltration (MF) and sequential MF plus ultrafiltration (UF) pretreatment process alternatives were tested. All pretreatment alternatives were optimized to reduce chemical oxygen demand (COD) and color load to NF. ...
