The catalytic activity of Pd/ZrO2 was studied in terms of the degradation of rhodamine-B dye in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Pd/ZrO2 was prepared by impregnation method, calcined at 750 °C and characterized by XRD, SEM and EDX. The catalyst showed good catalytic activity for dye degradation at 333 K, using 0.05 g of the catalyst during 5 h. The reaction kinetics followed the pseudo-first order kinetics. The Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin isotherms were applied to the data and the best fit was obtained with Freundlich isotherm. Thermodynamic parameters, like ΔH, ΔG and ΔS were also calculated. The negative values of ΔH (−291.406 KJ/mol) and Gibbs free energy (ΔG) showed the exothermic and spontaneous nature of the process. The positive ΔS (0.04832 KJ/mol K) value showed suitable affinity of catalyst for dye degradation. The catalyst was very stable, active and was easily separated from the reaction mixture by filtration. It can be concluded from the results that the prepared catalyst could be effectively used in dyes degradation/removal from water subjected to further validation and use for various dyes.

Abstract Advanced oxidation processes based on sulphate radical generated by peroxymonosulphate (PMS) activation is a promising area for environmental remediation. One of the biggest drawbacks of heterogeneous PMS activation is catalyst instability and metal ion leaching. In this study, a simple organic binder mediated route was explored to substitute Ti4+ ions into the Co3O4 host lattice structure to create a Co-O-Ti bond to minimise cobalt leaching during methyl orange degradation. The catalyst was characterised by X-ray diffraction, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The as-prepared catalysts with Co3O4:TiO2 ratio of 70:30 exhibited minimal leaching (0.9 mg/L) compared to other ratios studied. However, the pristine Co3O4 exhibited highest catalytic activity (rate constant = 0.41 min−1) and leaching (26.7 mg/L) compared to composite material (70:30 Co3O4:TiO2). Interestingly, the morphology of the composite and leaching of Co2+ ions were found to be temperature dependent, as an optimum temperature ensured strong Co-O-Ti bond for prevention of Co2+ leaching. The classical quenching test was utilised to determine the presence and role of radical species on methyl orange degradation. The fabricated catalyst also exhibited good catalytic activity in degrading mixed dyes and good recyclability, making it a potential candidate for commercial application.

Selective strong adsorption of bromine ions on the {111} crystal plane of copper blocked the growth along the {111} crystal plane and thereby promoted the formation of copper nanoplates instead of copper nanowires.
