Background: The study focuses on the synthesis of chitosan/ Fe2O3 nanocomposite, its characterization and application in methyl orange dye degradation. Methods: The synthesized chitosan/ Fe2O3 nanocomposite was characterized with Powder X-Ray Diffraction, Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and UV-Vis Spectroscopy. Results: The characterization showed that the Fe2O3nanoparticles were embedded in the polymer matrix of chitosan. The size of the Fe2O3nanoparticles were less than 10nm and the crystallite size was 1.22 nm.The synthesized chitosan/ Fe2O3nanocomposite was tested for methyl orange degradation using different parameters such as effect of contact time, effect of dose, effect of concentration and effect of pH for the degradation of methyl orange dye in aqueous solution.The Fruendlich, Langmuir and Temkin isotherm studies were also conducted for adsoption of methyl orange on Chitosan/ Fe2O3nanocomposite. Conclusion: The study indicated that the synthesized chitosan/Fe2O3 nanocomposite had the potential of degrading methyl orange dye up to 75.04% under the set condition in this experiment which indicate that Chitosan/ Fe2O3 nanocomposite is a viable option that can be used for the degradation of methyl orange dye.

This study examined the degradation of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) in electrochemical oxidation (EO) processes in the presence of trichloroethylene (TCE). The EO experiment was performed in a gas-tight reactor using Magnéli phase titanium suboxide (Ti4O7) as the anode. The experimental data demonstrated that 75% of PFOS (2 μM) was degraded at 10 mA/cm2 current density in 30 min without TCE present in the solution, while the presence of 76 μM TCE apparently inhibited the degradation of PFOS, reducing its removal down to 53%. Defluorination ratio suggested that PFOS was significantly mineralized upon EO treatment, and it appeared to be not influenced by the presence of TCE. The respective pseudo-first order rate constants (kobs) of PFOS removal were 0.0471 and 0.0254 min-1 in the absence and presence of TCE. The degradation rates of both PFOS and TCE increased with current density rising from 2.5 to 20 mA/cm2. In the presence of TCE, chloride, chlorate, and perchlorate were formed that accounted for 79.7 %, 5.53%, and 1.51% of the total chlorine at 60 min. This work illustrates the promise of the Magnéli phase Ti4O7 electrode based electrochemical oxidation technology for degrading per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and co-contaminants in groundwaters.
