Degradation of Congo Red dye by a Fe 2 O 3 @CeO 2 -ZrO 2 /Palygorskite composite catalyst: Synergetic effects of Fe 2 O 3
A newly designed Fe 2 O 3 @CeO 2 -ZrO 2 /Palygorskite heterogeneous Fenton catalyst with high degradation efficiency toward Congo Red (CR) is reported in this paper. The iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ) was used as the originator of hydroxyl radicals ( OH), CeO 2 -ZrO 2 was used as an efficient matrix of Fe 2 O 3 to enhance the oxidation performance, and the Palygorskite (Pal) played the role of substrate and adsorbent. A synergetic effect of the catalyst was realized by enhancing the adsorption capacity and dispersibility of CeO 2 -ZrO 2 and Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles, and also due to charge transfer between these two species. The products were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, XPS, VSM and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The catalytic activities were evaluated in terms of many reaction parameters. The removal efficiency of CR was up to 95% on Fe 2 O 3 @CeO 2 -ZrO 2 /Pal under optimized conditions (Pal accounted for 30% of the catalyst mass fraction and Ce/Zr atoms molar ratio = 8:2, T = 30 °C, pH = 3.4, 4 g L -1 catalyst, 40 mM H 2 O 2 and 500 mg/L CR), the product also has shown good reusability. Both α-Fe 2 O 3 and CeO 2 -ZrO 2 played important roles in the generation of hydroxyl radicals, which determined the catalytic efficiency of the composite catalyst. Fe 2 O 3 @CeO 2 -ZrO 2 /Pal was proven to be a promising candidate in the field of heterogeneous Fenton catalysis.

Photometric sensing of heavy metal ions using a naphthoquinodimethyl- bis -thioamide dye: Selectivity & photophysics of the metal organic complexes
As Mother Nature is experiencing catastrophic environmental pollutions from both natural sources and anthropogenic activities, many scientists have been working around the clock to develop environmentally benign and cost-effective, yet sensitive, detection techniques for pollutants, especially heavy metal species (e.g. lead, cadmium, mercury, among others) that are deleterious to human health. Herein, we report a novel sulfur-containing small organic dye/sensor naphthoquinodimethyl-bis-thioamide (QDM), which was found to be particularly selective toward mercury ion (Hg 2+ ). Using a combination of UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence, and time-resolved pump-probe techniques, we established that QDM and Hg 2+ can form stable complex(es) due to the strong affinity of sulfur toward mercury. In this investigation, while a higher ratio of QDM:Hg 2+ was necessary to fully quench the fluorescence emission of QDM, only 1 equiv of the Hg 2+ ion was necessary to observe the sensing effect on the excited state photo-behavior(s) of QDM. Furthermore, the present results highlight a synergy between molecular sensors' selectivity/sensitivity and sensor-analytes dynamics.
