Fe-based metallic glass as heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst for azo dyes degradation:effect of inorganic anions

Metallic glasses(MGs) are promising heterogeneous catalysts in water remediation,due to their superior efficiency,selectivity,reusability and corrosion resistance.However,few works are focused on the influence of inorganic anions that are abundant in wastewater.Herein,four common inorganic anions were added in a heterogeneous Fenton-like system(Fe-MG/H_(2)O_(2)) to study inorganic anions' influence on MGs' catalytic performance during methylene blue(MB) degradation.Evidence demonstrated that chloride ions and dihydrogen phosphate ions had an adverse effect on the catalytic performance of Fe-MG,whereas Fe-MG/H_(2)O_(2) system sustained high efficiency in the presence of sulfate ions and nitrate ions during the Fenton-like process.By studying the structure,surface morphology,and evolution of active species,it was found that inorganic anions had a significant effect on the surface morphology of Fe-MG and the generation of active species.This work will provide essential references for MGs as heterogeneous catalysts in practical applications.

Research on Inorganic Anion Recognition of Calix[4]pyrroles and Dipyrrylmethanes by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis

Capillary electrophoresis （CE） can separate charged and neutral substances with high speed and efficiency. In this paper, utilizing meso-octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole, meso-tetraspirocyclohexylcalJx[4]pyrrole, bimethyl bi（2-pyrryl）- methane and 1,1-bi（2-pyrryl）cyclohexane as additives in capillary zone electrophoresis （CZE） electrolyte, their recognition ability to inorganic anions was discussed. The dipyrrylmethanes have better recognition ability than others. Their effects on separation of seven normal inorganic anions by CZE were studied.

Selection of magnetic anion exchange resins for the removal of dissolved organic and inorganic matters

Four magnetic anion exchange resins （MAERs） were used as adsorbents to purify drinking water. The effect of water quality （pH, temperature, ionic strength, etc.） on the performance of MAER for the removal of dissolved organic matter （DOM） was also investigated. Among the four studied MAERs, the strong base resin named NDMP- 1 with high water content and enhanced exchange capacity exhibited the highest removal rate of dissolved organic carbon （DOC） （48.9% removal rate） and UV-absorbing substances （82.4% removal rate） with a resin dose of 10 mL/L after 30 rain of contact time. The MAERs could also effectively remove inorganic matter such as sulfate, nitrate and fluoride. Because of the higher specific UV absorbance （SUVA） value, the DOM in the raw water was found to be removed more effectively than that in the clarified water by NDMP resin. The temperature showed a weak influence on the removal of DOC from 6 to 26℃, while a relatively strong one at 36℃. The removal of DOM by NDMP was also affected to some extent by the pH value. Moreover, increasing the sulfate concentration in the raw water could decrease the removal rates of DOC and UV-absorbing substances.
