Study on Preparation of Porous ZnO Microspheres and Photocatalytic Performance

This paper introduces the method of porous ZnO microspheres by sodium citrate assisted hydrothermal synthesis with a mild, economy： first, basic synthesis globose precursor of Zinc Carbonate Hydroxide, then followed by thermal decompose the precursor to obtain porous Zinc Oxide microspheres. The morphology and structure of the precursor and synthesized porous microspheres were characterize by a series of methods, and did a series of experiments by changing dosage and reaction time of the sodium citrate and urea, finally the paper discussed the formation mechanism of porous ZnO microspheres.

Synthesis of molybdenum disulfide/reduced graphene oxide composites for effective removal of Pb(Ⅱ) from aqueous solutions

In this work, a facile method was adopted to synthesize molybdenum disulfide/reduced graphene oxide （MoS2/rGO） composites through an c-cysteine-assisted hydrothermal technique, The as-prepared MoS2/ rGO composites were firstly applied as adsorbents for efficient elimination of Pb（Ⅱ） ions. Batch adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption of Pb（Ⅱ） on MoS2/rGO followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model well. The adsorption of Pb（Ⅱ） was intensely pH-dependent, ionic strength-dependent at pH 〈 9.0 and ionic strength-independent at pH 〉 9,0, The presence of humic acid （HA） enhanced Pb（Ⅱ） adsorption obviously. The MoS2/rGO composites exhibited excellent adsorption capacity of 384.16 mg g 1 at pH 5.0 and T = 298.15 K, which was superior to MOS2 （279.93 mg g 1） and many other adsorbents. The thermodynamic parameters suggested that the adsorption process of Pb（Ⅱ） on MoS2/rGO composites was spontaneous （zSG＂ 〈 O） and endothermic （△H 〉 0）. The interaction of Pb（Ⅱ） and MoS2] rGO was mainly dominated by electrostatic attraction and surface comple^ation between Pb（Ⅱ） and oxygen-containing functional groups of MoS2]rGO. This work highlighted the application of MoS21rGO as novel and promising materials in the efficient elimination of Pb（Ⅱ） from contaminated water and industrial effluents in environmental pollution management.

Preparation of Co- or Mn-substituted LTL zeolites and their catalytic properties in cyclohexane oxidation

Co-or Mn-substituted LTL zeolites were hydrothermally synthesized by a novel organic-ligand-assisted method.XRD,UVVis DRS,XPS,and EPR techniques verified that the Co and Mn ions were incorporated into the zeolite framework.No organic species were retained in as-synthesized Co or Mn-LTL zeolites,which resulted in porous materials without calcination.In the oxidation of cyclohexane with tert-butyl hydroperoxide(TBHP),the Co-LTL and Mn-LTL gave a 40%–48%KA oil(cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol)yield as well as nearly 100%TBHP conversion under mild reaction conditions.The reactions were confirmed to be heterogeneous and to have proceeded catalytically.No loss of catalytic activity or leaching of metal active sites ions were observed during 4 reuses.
