The nanostructured cerium dioxide (CeO2) has been successfully fabricated using a simple precipitation method. Its characteristics were evaluated using TG-DTA, DR-UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR and TEM. The results showed that the nanostructured CeO2 has high purity and good crystalline nature, with face centered cubic (fcc) phase and the average diameter of CeO2 single crystal about 14 nm. Performance evaluation of the synthesized CeO2 samples showed that the nanostructured CeO2 has a strong adsorption toward acid orange-10 (AO-10) and congo red (CR) in aqueous solution. Under given experimental conditions (dye concentration of 15 mg/l, adsorbent dosage of 1 g/l, reaction temperature of 30 ? 1?C), it was estimated that the adsorption equilibrium for AO-10 and CR occurred at 60 min and 90 min of reaction time, respectively, with total removal of 96.82% for AO-10 dye and 93.55% for CR dye. The results suggested that the CeO2 nanopowder could be potentially used as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of synthetic organic dyes in aqueous solution and may address for future concern in the area.

Adsorption behavior of Rhodamine B (RhB) onto thermal modified rectorite (TM-R) has been thermodynamically investigated. The thermal modified rectorite prepared at different temperatures was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The analysis of the isotherm equilibrium data using the Langmuir and Freundlich equations by linear methods showed that the data fitted better with Freundlich model than the Langmuir model. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated based on Van’t Hoff equation. The average change of standard adsorption heat of RhB was 88.96 kJ/mol. The adsorption Gibbs free energy changes are in the range of -26.88~-34.52 kJ/mol, The negative of adsorption Gibbs free energy changes in all cases are indicative of the spontaneous nature of the adsorption interaction, and the values of adsorption entropy changes are positive.

A facile and waste-free flame thermal synthesis method was developed for preparing Pt modified C/TiO2microspheres (Pt-C/TiO2). The photocatalysts were characterized with X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) diffuse reflectance spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry analysis. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by hydrogen evolution from water splitting under UV-vis light illumination. Benefitting from the electron-hole separation behavior and reduced overpotential of H+/H2, remarkably enhanced hydrogen production was demonstrated and the photocatalytic hydrogen generation from 0.4 wt% Pt-C/TiO2increased by 22 times. This study also demonstrates that the novel and facile method is highly attractive, due to its easy operation, requiring no post treatment and energy-saving features.
