Sunlight activated ZnO mediated photocatalytic degradation of acetophenone in water
Solar photocatalysis is investigated as a potential advanced oxidation process for the removal of small amounts of acetophenone (ACP), a recalcitrant chemical pollutant detected in the effluent water from many petrochemical and other industries. Semiconductor oxide ZnO is used as the catalyst. The influence of various reaction parameters such as initial concentration of ACP, ZnO dosage, pH of t...
متن کاملAdvances in Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction with Water: A Review
In recent years, the increasing level of CO₂ in the atmosphere has not only contributed to global warming but has also triggered considerable interest in photocatalytic reduction of CO₂. The reduction of CO₂ with H₂O using sunlight is an innovative way to solve the current growing environmental challenges. This paper reviews the basic principles of photocatalysis and photocatalytic CO₂ reductio...
متن کاملOxygen Binding, Activation, and Reduction to Water by Copper Proteins.
Copper active sites play a major role in biological and abiological dioxygen activation. Oxygen intermediates have been studied in detail for the proteins and enzymes involved in reversible O(2) binding (hemocyanin), activation (tyrosinase), and four-electron reduction to water (multicopper oxidases). These oxygen intermediates exhibit unique spectroscopic features indicative of new geometric a...
متن کاملEnergetic requirements of iridium(III) complex based photosensitisers in photocatalytic hydrogen generation.
A new family of Ir(III) complexes were synthesised and employed as light-induced hydrogen-production photosensitisers in aqueous systems, where hydrogen evolution was observed only when the PS* was reduced by the sacrificial agent, NEt3, signifying that a minimum potential difference of >0.2 V between E(PS*/PS(-)) and E(NEt3(+)/NEt3) is required for efficient hydrogen production [i.e., E(PS*/PS...
متن کاملAn integrated photocatalytic/enzymatic system for the reduction of CO2 to methanol in bioglycerol–water
A hybrid enzymatic/photocatalytic approach for the conversion of CO2 into methanol is described. For the approach discussed here, the production of one mol of CH3OH from CO2 requires three enzymes and the consumption of three mol of NADH. Regeneration of the cofactor NADH from NAD(+) was achieved by using visible-light-active, heterogeneous, TiO2-based photocatalysts. The efficiency of the rege...
