The chemical surface of Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA-15) was functionalized with polyaniline (SBA-15/PA) and prepared using aniline ammonium persulfate as the modifying agent oxidant. samples were characterized by N2 physical adsorption at 77 K. SBA-15′s area 654.5 m2 g−1, changing to 254.6 g−1. total acidity basicity determined a modified Boehm’s method, point zero charge pH (pHpzc) determi...

Penicillin G (PG) is one of the most widely consumed antibiotics around the world. Release of PG in environment may lead to contamination of water resources. The aim of the present work is to assess feasibility of applying UV-activated persulfate process in removal of PG from aquatic environments. The study examined the effect of pH (3-11), persulfate initial concentration (0.5-3 mM), reaction ...

BACKGROUND In this study, a central composite design (CCD) was used for modeling and optimizing the operation parameters such as pH, initial tetracycline and persulfate concentration and reaction time on the tetracycline degradation using sono-activated persulfate process. The effect of temperature, degradation kinetics and mineralization, were also investigated. RESULTS The results from CCD ...

The adsorbent for both cationic and anionic dye based on cellulose polyaniline was prepared. Cellulose purified from sugarcane bagasse through the removal of hemicellulose lignin. Aniline polymerized in emulsion state presence ammonium persulfate as an initiator. results Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observation determination porosity confirm...

This study constructed a microbial fuel cell (MFC) using Fe(II)-EDTA catalyzed persulfate as the cathode solutions to decolorize Orange G (OG) and harvest electricity simultaneously. Chelated Fe(2+) could activate persulfate to generate sulfate free radicals (SO(4)(-)) which with high oxidation potential (E(0)=2.6 V) can degrade azo dyes. The influence of some important factors such as pH value...

We report a novel transparent copper-based grid electrode fabricated by microcontact printing that offers high stability toward oxidation in air. Passivation is achieved using 2.5 nm thick layer of nickel buried just below the surface copper film from which etched. This approach to passivation retains advantages associated with lithography for fabrication very fast resist deposition and compati...
