A Fiber Optic Sensor for 2,4-dichlorophenol Analysis based on Optical Composite Oxygen-sensitive Film

A novel fiber optic sensor based on optical composite oxygen-sensitive film was developed for determination of 2,4-dichlorophenol(DCP).The optical composite oxygen-sensitive film consists of tris(2,2’-bipyridyl)dichloro ruthenium(II)hexahydrate(Ru(bpy)3Cl2)as the fluorescence indicator and iron(III)tetrasulfophthalocyanine(Fe(III)PcTs)as bionic enzyme.A lock-in amplifier was used for detecting the lifetime of the composite oxygen-sensitive film by measuring the phase delay of the sensor head.The different variables affecting the sensor performance were evaluated and optimized.Under the optimal conditions(i e,pH 6.0,25℃,Fe(III)PcTs concentration of 5.0×10^-5 mol/L),the linear detection range,detection limit and response time of the fiber optic sensor are 3.0×10^-7-9.0×10^-5 mol/L,4.8×10^-8 mol/L(S/N=3),and 220 s,respectively.The sensor displays high selectivity,good repeatability and stability,which have good potentials in analyzing DCP concentration in practical water samples.

A Fiber Optic Sensor for Determination of 2,4-dichlorophenol based on Iron(Ⅱ) Phthalocyanine Catalysis

A new fi ber optic sensor based on the oxidation of 2,4-dichlorophenol（DCP） catalyzed by iron（II） phthalocyanine（Fe（II）Pc） was developed for the determination of DCP.

It can be used effectively to determine DCP concentration in real samples.

Statistical optimization of adsorption processes for removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol by activated carbon derived from oil palm empty fruit bunches

The adsorption capacity of activated carbon produced from oil palm empty fruit bunches through removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol from aqueous solution was carried out in the laboratory. The activated carbon was produced by thermal activation of activation time with 30 min at 800℃. The adsorption process conditions were determined with the statistical optimization followed by central composite design. A developed polynomial model for operating conditions of adsorption process indicated that the optimum conditions for maximum adsorption of phenolic compound were： agitation rate of 100 r/min, contact time of 8 h, initial adsorbate concentration of 250 mg/L and pH 4. Adsorption isotherms were conducted to evaluate biosorption process. Langmuir isotherm was more favorable （R^2=0.93） for removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol by the activated carbon rather than Freundlich isotherm （R^2=0.88）.

ADSORPTION OF 2,4-DICHLOROPHENOL IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION ONTO ADSORPTION RESIN MODIFIED BY N-ACETYLANILINE

A hypercrosslinked adsorption resin （ZH-05） modified by N-acetylaniline in the post crosslinking process was prepared. The adsorption properties of ZH-05 toward 2,4-dichlorophenol in comparison with granular activated carbon （GAC） and Amberlite XAD-4 were observed. The present study mainly focuses on the static equilibrium adsorption behaviors, desorption profiles and the proof of chemisorption. The results show that the Langmuir equation can give a perfect fitting to experimental data, and high temperature was favorable for adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenol on ZH-05. A related equation was used to correlate the amount of chemisorption and the suppositionai chemisorption equilibrium concentration of adsorbate in aqueous solution. The adsorption capacities from different ranges of temperature and the static desorption experiment both reveal the same conclusion, i.e., the adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenol from water on ZH-05 is a coexistent process of physical adsorption and chemical transition as on GAC.

Photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol with V_2O_5-TiO_2 catalysts: Effect of catalyst support and surfactant additives

Binary oxide catalysts with various weight percentage V2O5 loadings were prepared by solid‐state dispersion and the nanocomposites were modified with surfactants. The catalysts were analyzed using X‐ray diffraction, diffuse‐reflectance spectroscopy, Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and N2 adsorption‐desorption. The photocatalytic activities of the catalysts were evaluated in the degradation of 2,4‐dichlorophenol under ultraviolet irradiation. The photocatalytic activity of 50 wt%V2O5‐TiO2 （50V2O5‐TiO2） was higher than those of pure V2O5, TiO2, and P25. Interactions between V2O5 and TiO2 affected the photocatalytic efficiencies of the binary oxide catalysts. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide （CTAB） and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide （HTAB） significantly enhanced the efficiency of the 50V2O5‐TiO2 catalyst. The highest per‐centage of 2,4‐dichlorophenol degradation （100%） and highest reaction rate （2.22 mg/（L·min）） were obtained in 30 min with the （50V2O5‐TiO2）‐CTAB catalyst. It is concluded that the addition of a surfactant to the binary oxide significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity by modifying the optical and electronic properties of V2O5 and TiO2.

Enhancing Heterogeneous Catalytic Activity of Iron(II) Phthalocyanine by Ethanol and Its Application in 2,4-dichlorophenol Detection

A chemical system for facile and accurate detection of 2,4-dichlorophenol （DCP） via iron （Ⅱ） phthalocyanine （Fe（Ⅱ）Pc） catalyzed chromogenic reaction is reported for the first time. In this system, DCP could be oxidized by dioxygen with the catalysis of Fe（Ⅱ）Pc and then coupled with 4-aminoantipyrine （4-AAP） to generate pink antipyrilquinoneimine dye. Control experiments showed that the addition of ethanol could obviously enhance the catalytic activity of heterogeneous Fe（Ⅱ）Pc catalysts because of the partial dissolution of Fe（II）Pc nanocubes, which was confirmed by the SEM analysis. On the basis of the detection results of DCP in the range from 2×10^-5 to 9×10^-4 mol/L, we obtained a regression equation （A = 0.187 5 ＋ 0.01 209C （R2=-0.995 6）） with the detection limit （3σ） of 3.26×10^-6 mol/L, which could be successfully used in detecting the real samples.

Kinetics of 2,4-dichlorophenol dechlorination by Pd-Fe bimetallic nanoparticles in the presence of humic acid

The remediation of groundwater which contains chlorinated organic compounds (COCs) by nanoscale bimetallic catalysts has received increasing interest in recent years. This report presents the dechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) by Pd-Fe bimetallic nanoparticles in the presence of humic acid (HA) to investigate the feasibility of using Pd-Fe for the in situ remediation of contaminated groundwater. Our experimental results indicated that HA had an adverse effect on the dechlorination of 2,4-DCP by Pd-Fe nanoparticles. The rate constant k values of 2,4-DCP dechlorination were 0.017, 0.013, 0.009, 0.006 and 0.004 min?1 for HA concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mg/L, respectively. The relationship between HA dosage and k values can be described as a linear model.

Degradation of 2,4-Dichlorophenol Catalyzed by Ultrasound-Assisted Laccase

Laccase possesses a good degradation effect on organic pollutants,but it is too long to achieve the desired effect. In order to improve the treatment effect of laccase on degradation of organic pollutants,2,4-dichlorophenol( 2, 4-DCP) was selected as a treatment target in the study. This study investigated a newtechnique for catalyzing the degradation of 2,4-DCP, that is,ultrasound-assisted laccase catalysis. The optimal experimental parameters such as p H,ultrasonic power,duty cycle and laccase concentration were determined under optimized experimental conditions. The results showed that the optimum conditions for degradation of 2,4-DCP were that pH = 5. 5,the input power was 105 W,the duty cycle was 50% and the laccase concentration was0. 4 U/m L. The degradation rate of 2,4-DCP reached 77. 5% under the optimum conditions at 4 h. When in ultrasonic environment,the enzymatic activity of laccase could be stimulated and improved.Compared with conventional methods,this technique significantly promoted the degradation rate of 2,4-DCP while reduced action time. Furthermore, no newpollutant was introduced into the degradation process. Therefore,ultrasound-assisted laccase catalysis is an environmentally friendly technique to degrade pollutants.

Vermiculite containing 5% zirconium was used as a catalyst. The destruction processes of 2,4-DCP proceed efficiently, the degree of decomposition increases in the combined plasma-catalytic process by a factor of 1.33 and reaches 80%. The experimental results were processed according to the first-order kinetic law (R2 > 0.97), according to which the effective constants (0.36 ± 0.04) and (0.51 ± 0.03) s-1 and the decomposition rates of 2,4-DCP (106 and 123 μmol/l·s) when treating model solutions without a catalyst and with vermiculite + Zr 5%, respectively, and the energy costs are 0.012 and 0.017 molecules/100eV. The main decomposition products present in the solution have been determined to be carboxylic acids, aldehydes, the contribution of which does not exceed 2%, as well as chloride ions, and in the gas phase they are carbon dioxide and molecular chlorine (the share of which does not exceed 1.5% of total chlorine content in the system).

Gamma ray-induced degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol(DCP) in the presence of ozone has been investigated.The results show that ozone can remarkably increase the degradation rate of 2,4-DCP in aqueous solution.The degradation kinetics of 2,4-DCP can be described by the first-order reaction model,and the rate constant was0.443,0.490 and 1.247 h^(-1),respectively,for γ-ray irradiation only,γ-ray irradiation+13 mg/L O_3 and γ-ray irradiation+30 mg/L O_3.High-performance liquid chromatography analysis shows that the dechlorinated products are 4-chlorophenol,2-chlorophenol and phenol;and the oxidation products are hydroquinone,benzoquinone,maleic,fumaric,acrylic,malonic,oxalic,acetic and formic acids.The possible pathways for 2,4-DCP degradation involving all these oxidation products are tentatively proposed.Combining γ-ray irradiation with ozonation is a promising technology for removing toxic pollutants from water and wastewater.
