The results showed that the use of micro-electrolysis technology could remove more than 90% of chromaticity and more than 50% of COD and greatly improved the biodegradability of pharmaceutical wastewater. Lower initial pH could be advantageous to the removal of chromaticity. A retention time of 30 minutes was recommended for the process design of micro-electrolysis.展开更多

The primary biodegradation degree of NP10EO was 96.5% at 3 hours hydraulic retention time and 96.2% at 6 hours hydraulic retention time; the ultimate biodegradation degree, which was 84.8% and 87.3%, respectively, indicated that the primary biodegradation of NP10EO was very easy and most NP10EO can be biodegraded ultimately, the prolonging of HRT had no infuence on the primary biodegradation and little infuence on the ultimate biodegradation. The possible biodegradation pathways of NPnEO, especially the biodegradation pathways of benzene ring in NPnEO, were proposed through Electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry analysis.展开更多

The thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetric(TG/DSC), X-ray diffraction(XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HR-TEM) and N2 adsorption desorption and adsorption are used to study the effects of the synthesized process condition on the microstructure of the as-synthesized mesoporous Ti O2. The photocatalytic performances of as-synthesized samples are evaluated by the degradation of the formaldehyde under ultraviolet light irradiations. The results demonstrate that the as-synthesized mesoporous Ti O2 are anatase with the uniform size about 20-40 nm. The sample is prepared using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) as the template with average pore size distribution of 8.12 nm, specific surface area of 68.47 m2/g and pore volume of 0.213 m L/g. The samples show decomposition of formaldehyde 95.8% under ultraviolet light irradiations for 90 min. These results provide a basic experimental process for preparation mesoporous Ti O2, which will posses a broad prospect in terms of the applications in improving indoor air quality.展开更多
