In this paper, granular copper films (GCFs) were prepared through electrodeposition in CuSO4 solution containing triethanolamine, and the films were used as electro-Fenton-like cathodes for degradation of methyl orange (MO). The effects of triethanolamine concentration, pH value, current intensity and temperature on the morphology of the films, as well as the MO decolorization ratio (DR), were investigated in detail. Results show that when the concentration of triethanolamine is 0.2 wt%, the prepared GCF exhibits the best performance. Under room temperature and neutral conditions, no external O2 or catalyst, MO is completely decolorized after 240 min. Compared with the commonly used carbon cathode, the GCF cathode can increase the MO decolorization rate by approximately 70.9%. The kinetics of the electrochemical degradation reaction is also discussed.

<p>In order to improve the catalytic degradation property of α-FeOOH, α-FeOOH was doped with sodium silicate. The α-FeOOH doped with silicon was used as catalyst to catalyze the degradation of methyl orange. The XRD spectra showed that the crystalline phase of α-FeOOH doped with silicon was same as that of α-FeOOH; The catalytic degradation property of α-FeOOH doped with silicon was 21.7% higher than that of α-FeOOH; The results showed that catalytic degradation of methyl orange was almost degraded thoroughly at the conditions that the concentration of α-FeOOH doped with silicon in the solution was 0.73 g/L, the concentration of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> was 0.231 mmol/L. The pH value was between 2 and 3, and the degradation reaction was carried out at 60 <sup>o</sup>C for at least 20 min. Copyright © 2016 BCREC GROUP.

SummaryGelchromatography column scanning has been used to study the fractions of 99mTc-pertechnetate, 99mTcchelate and reduced hydrolyzed 99mTc in preparations of 99mTc-EDTA(Sn) and 99mTc-DTPA(Sn). The labelling yield of 99mTc-EDTA(Sn) chelate was as high as 90—95% when 100 μmol EDTA · H4 and 0.5 (Amol SnCl2 was incubated with 10 ml 99mTceluate for 30—60 min at room temperature. The study of the influence of the pH-value on the fraction of 99mTc-EDTA shows that pH 2.8—2.9 gave the best labelling yield. In a comparative study of the labelling kinetics of 99mTc-EDTA(Sn) and 99mTc- DTPA(Sn) at different temperatures (7, 22 and 37°C), no significant influence on the reduction step was found. The rate constant for complex formation, however, increased more rapidly with increased temperature for 99mTc-DTPA(Sn). At room temperature only a few minutes was required to achieve a high labelling yield with 99mTc-DTPA(Sn) whereas about 60 min was required for 99mTc-EDTA(Sn). Comparative biokinetic studies in rabbits showed that the maximum activity in kidneys is achieved after 12 min with 99mTc-EDTA(Sn) but already after 6 min with 99mTc-DTPA(Sn). The long-term disappearance of 99mTc-DTPA(Sn) from the kidneys is about five times faster than that for 99mTc-EDTA(Sn).

Abstract Radical translocation processes triggered by nitrogen-centered radicals (NCRs), such as 1,5-hydrogen atom transfers (1,5-HAT), demonstrated by the well-established Hofmann-Löffler-Freytag (HLF) reaction, provide an attractive approach for the controllable and selective functionalization of remote inert C(sp3)–H bonds. Here we report an amidyl radical-triggered site-selective remote C(sp3)–H heteroarylation of amides under organic photoredox conditions. This approach provides a mild and highly regioselective reaction affording remote C(sp3)–H heteroarylated amides at room temperature under transition-metal free, weakly basic, and redox-neutral conditions. Non-prefunctionalized heteroarenes, such as purines, thiazolopyridines, benzoxazole, benzothiazoles, benzothiophene, benzofuran, thiazoles and quinoxalines, can be alkylated directly. Sequential and orthogonal C–H functionalization of different heteroarenes by taking advantage pH value or polarity of radicals has also been achieved. DFT calculations explain and can predict the site-selectivity and reactivity of this reaction. This strategy expands the scope of the Minisci reaction and serves as its alternative and potential complement.

Nanoscale titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been fabricated through a sound sol-gel method at room temperature with Tetra-n-butyl Titanate as the precursor, and the particles are characterized by XRD and TEM techniques. The results manifest that the as-prepared TiO2 is amorphous with the anatase structure and its size is around 33.2nm. Five factors, including dosage of TiO2, initial concentration of diesel, pH value, photocatalytic degradation reaction time and the presence of H2O2, are considered in the diesel degradation experiments. An orthogonal test is carried out to optimize the photocatalytic degradation of diesel pollutants based on the single-factor experiments. It reveals that when the dosage of TiO2 is 1.0g/L, the initial concentration of diesel is 0.5g/L, pH value is 6, the reaction time is 4h and the H2O2 dosage is 0.09%, the removal rate of diesel pollutants can up to 88%. Besides, the influence of each factor on removing diesel can be arranged in decreasing order: initial concentration of diesel> photocatalytic reaction time> pH value> TiO2 dosage> H2O2 dosage.

AbstractIn the present study, the Fe-doped TiO2 modified nanoparticles was successfully synthesized by the combination of the sol-gel method and heat treatment, and the degradation of methyl orange was tested by the combination method of ultrasonic radiation and mechanical agitation. The effects of different factors on the degradation of methyl orange (MO) solution were studied, such as ultrasonic irradiation time, the ultrasonic frequency, the added amount of catalyst, the initial pH value, the initial concentration of methyl orange, and revolutions per minute. The optimal experimental conditions for sonocatalytic degradation of the MO obtained were: ultrasonic irradiation time = 60 min, pH value = 3.0 and revolutions per minute = 500 rpm. By means of response surface analysis, the best fitting conditions were as follows: ultrasonic frequency = 36.02 kHz, added amount of catalyst = 490.50 mg/L, the initial concentration of methyl orange = 9.22 mg/L, and the optimum condition was close to the experimental data by response surface method. Under optimal conditions, the sonocatalytic degradation of MO was 99%. The degradation of MO showed that the combination of Fe-doped modified TiO2 nanoparticles, mechanical agitation and ultrasonic irradiation was discovered that can degrade methyl orange effectively in aqueous solution.

Abstract In the present research work the degradation of acid yellow 17 (AY 17) by H2O2/Fe2+ was investigated. The effect of various conditions such as pH value, temperature, conc. of H2O2, Fe2+, conc. of AY 17 were studied. Additionally the scavenging effects of various anions such as Cl−, SO42−, CO32− and HCO3−, on percent degradation of AY 17 were examined. It was found that these anions decrease percent degradation as well as rate of degradation reaction. The optimum conditions were determined as [AY 17]=[Fe2+]=0.06 mM [H2O2]=0.9 mM, and pH 3.0 for 60 min of reaction time. It was found that at optimum conditions 89% degradation of AY17 was achieved. The degradation kinetics of AY17 followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. Thermodynamic studies under natural conditions showed positive value of ∆H (enthalpy) which indicates the degradation process is endothermic.
