This work reports the synthesis of natural zeolite-based silver and magnetite nanocomposites and their application for the catalytic oxidation of methylene blue in water. The zeolite was impregnated with 5.5 wt.% Fe in the form of magnetite nanoparticles with size of 32 nm, and with 6.4 wt.% Ag in the form of silver oxide and metallic silver nanoparticles with sizes of 42 and 20 nm, respectively. The results showed that physical adsorption contributed to the removal of methylene blue by 25–36% and that Fe3O4@NZU is superior to Ag2O@NZU and Ag0@NZU, leading to 55% removal without oxidant and 97% in the presence of H2O2. However, there is no evidence of significant mineralization of methylene blue. The application of reaction rate models showed that the reaction order changes from zero to first and second order depending on the H2O2 concentration.

The laterite-coating manganese dioxide nanoparticle material (M2) prepared by the immersion method was used for the efficient removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. The adsorption and heterogeneous Fenton catalytic oxidation experiments of M2 were investigated by changing the effective factors such as time, pH, amount of M2, and concentration of MB. The adsorption data of M2 showed good fitting with the Langmuir isotherm, suggesting that the adsorption of MB on the surface of M2 is a heterogeneous and physical adsorption process. Degradation of MB was also carried out to evaluate the heterogeneous Fenton catalytic oxidation characterization of a new catalytic oxidation material (M2). The results show that the M2 material has both adsorption and heterogeneous Fenton catalytic oxidation. However, the heterogeneous Fenton catalytic oxidation of the M2 material is the main performance. Hence, our groups have investigated the ability of the catalytic column treatment with high efficiency of 98–100% and the degradation efficiency after the sample running through the column almost does not change much. This proves that heterogeneous Fenton catalytic activity of the catalytic column is completely unaffected and reused many times after oxidizing MB. Specifically, even if the M2 material is reused for five times, the degradation efficiency still reaches 98.86%.

To make potassium from K-bearing rocks accessible to agriculture, processing on biotite syenite powder under mild alkaline hydrothermal conditions was carried out, in which two types of KAlSiO4 were obtained successfully. The dissolution-precipitation process of silicate rocks is a significant process in lithospheric evolution. Its effective utilization will be of importance for realizing the comprehensiveness of aluminosilicate minerals in nature. Two kinds of KAlSiO4 were precipitated in sequence during the dissolution process of biotite syenite. The crystal structures of two kinds of KAlSiO4 were compared by Rietveld structure refinements. The kinetics model derived from geochemical research was adopted to describe the dissolution behavior. The reaction order and apparent activation energy at the temperature range of 240–300 °C were 2.992 and 97.41 kJ/mol, respectively. The higher dissolution reaction rate of K-feldspar mainly relies on the alkaline solution, which gives rise to higher reaction order. During the dissolution-precipitation process of K-feldspar, two types of KAlSiO4 with different crystal structure were precipitated. This study provides novel green chemical routes for the comprehensive utilization of potassium-rich silicates.

The time course of methaemoglobin reduction in human erythrocytes treated with nitrite was studied at pH 7.4, 37 degrees C, in the presence or absence of Methylene Blue, and the changes in methaemoglobin, intermediate haemoglobins and oxyhaemoglobin during the reaction were analysed by isoelectric-focusing on Ampholine/polyacrylamide-gel plates. In both cases, with or without the dye, the intermediate haemoglobins were found to be present at (alpha 3+beta 2+)2 and (alpha 2+beta 3+)2 valency hybrids from their characteristic position on electrophoresis, but amounts changed consecutively with time. The amount of (alpha 3+beta 2+)2 was always greater than that of the (alpha 2+beta 3+)2 valency hybrid. This result is explained by the differences in redox potentials between alpha- and beta-chains in methaemoglobin tetramer. It was concluded that methaemoglobin was reduced in human erythrocytes through these two different pats: methaemoglobin leads to k+3 (alpha 2+beta 3+)2 leads to k+3 oxyhaemoglobin. The reaction rate constants k'+1 (= k+1+k+3) and k'+2(=k+2+k+4) were estimated from the changes in each component methaemoglobin, intermediate haemoglobins [(alpha 3+beta 2+)2+(alpha 2+beta 3+)2] and oxyhaemoglobin.

The effect of bed depth on adsorption ability of natural zeolite to removal methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution in the fixed-bed column was studied. The results showed that the increase in column height favored the MB removal form solution. The equilibrium uptake of MB onto unit mass zeolite increased with the bed depth growth. The experimental data were fitted to Yan model using linear and nonlinear regression analysis, respectively. The experimental points and the predicted curves using the Yan model were compared and the error analysis was performed. The results indicated that Yan model were good to predict the breakthrough curves and both two methods can be used to obtain the parameters of Yan model and to predict the breakthrough curves.

The catalytic oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide was investigated in flow experiments over silver catalysts at atmospheric pressure between 260° and 350 °C. Calcium oxalate and stannous oxide were used as catalyst promoters. Close temperature control was provided by mounting the catalyst on a silver support. At 270 °C. the selectivity increased from about 25%, with ethylene in large excess, to about 55%, with oxygen in large excess. With air constant and in large excess, the over-all reaction rate was found to be proportional to the square root of the ethylene concentration. With ethylene constant and in large excess, the reaction rate was found to be roughly proportional to the oxygen concentration. The presence of methane, ethane, or propane promoted the complete oxidation of ethylene to carbon dioxide and water. In the absence of paraffins the addition of traces of ethylene dichloride only served to poison the catalyst.

<p>Activation is one of the processes by which are mostly done to improve the quality of natural zeolite. Activation process by zeolite will change the ratio of the Si/Al and can increase the formation of empty cavities so that the capability of zeolite as an adsorbent be optimal. In this research, natural zeolite from the district of Ende, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Activation Ende natural zeolite done chemically using HCl and NaOH solution, with variations concentrate 0,5 M; 1,5 M; and 3,0 M. Next, zeolite which has activated used to adsorb dye methylene blue. Based on the research results, chemically of activation from natural zeolite can increase the adsorption capacity to substance methylene blue. The adsorption capacity in the Ende natural and after activation is 17,289 mg/g and 19,98 mg/g respectively. The Langmuir model most closely matched the isothermal adsorption of equilibrium process.</p>
