Abstract

In the present study, advanced oxidation processes, UV/H2O2, UV/O3, and UV/H2O2/O3 have been applied to bleach and degrade organic dye C.I. Reactive Red 45 in water solution. Influence of pH and hydrogen peroxide dosage on process efficiency was investigated. The rate of color removal was studied by measuring the absorbance at the characteristic wavelength while mineralization rates were obtained on the basis of total organic carbon (TOC) and adsorbable organic halides (AOX) measurements. Complete bleaching was achieved by all applied processes after 60 min while the maximal mineralization extent depended on the reaction conditions for each of the processes. It has been found that UV/H2O2/O3 process was the most efficient with 61.1% TOC removal and 72.0% AOX removal, respectively, achieved after a 1-h treatment. Time required for complete mineralization of RR45 by UV/H2O2 and UV/H2O2/O3 processes was determined as well.

Dynamic modeling of an enzymatic membrane reactor for the treatment of xenobiotic compounds.

A membrane enzymatic reactor, consisting of a stirred tank coupled to an ultrafiltration membrane was set up for the enzymatic oxidation of xenobiotic compounds. The azo dye Orange II was selected for the model compound and manganese peroxidase for the oxidative enzyme. The ligninolytic cycle was initiated and maintained by the controlled addition of all factors (reactants, mediators, and stabilizers) at suitable rates. Considering the distinctiveness of this process, in which the substrate to be oxidized is not the primary substrate for the enzyme, a kinetic model was developed. The azo dye concentration and hydrogen peroxide addition rate were found to be the main factors affecting the process. The reaction kinetics was defined using a Michaelis-Menten model with respect to the Orange II concentration and a first-order linear dependence relative to the H(2)O(2) addition rate. The dynamic model, which takes into account both the kinetics and the hydraulics of the system, was validated by comparing the experimental results in continuous operation under steady and non-steady state to model predictions. In particular, the model predicted the behavior of the system when unexpected alterations in steady-state operation occurred. Furthermore, the model allowed us to obtain the most appropriate H(2)O(2)/Orange II ratio in the feed to maximize the process efficiency.

Highly enantioselective and diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between azomethine imines and 3-acryloyl-2-oxazolidinone catalyzed by binaphthyldiimine-Ni(II) complexes.

[reaction: see text] We have found the first example of high levels of asymmetric induction (97-74% ee) along with high diastereoselectivity (>99:1-64:36) in dipole-HOMO-/dipolarophile-LUMO-controlled asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between fused azomethine imines and 3-acryloyl-2-oxazolidinone using a chiral BINIM-Ni(II) complex as a chiral Lewis acid catalyst.
