AB  - Mesoporous anatase nanopowders were doped with 0.05−0.5 mol% of W6+, in order to obtain more efficient photocatalyst than TiO2 Degussa P25 in the degradation of amitriptyline (AMI) under simulated solar irradiation (SSI). Dominant XRPD peaks were ascribed to anatase phase, with additional peaks which could correspond to brookite, TiO2 bronze and sodium titanate, Na2Ti9O19. The Raman scattering measurements have confirmed anatase as dominant phase, with broad Raman feature at ~270 cm−1 possibly related to Ti–O–Na stretching vibration. All W-doped nanopowders have shown enhanced adsorption and higher efficiency in photodegradation of AMI in comparison to TiO2 Degussa P25 under the same conditions. The catalyst doped with 0.4 mol% of W6+, which has shown the highest efficiency in degradation of AMI under SSI, has
also been tested in degradation of alprazolam (ALP). The effect of substrate type (AMI and ALP), catalyst loading, and initial substrate concentration on photocatalytic degradation using SSI was examined. The identification of the species responsible for the photocatalytic degradation of AMI and ALP by the catalyst doped with 0.4 mol% of W6+ was performed in the presence of various scavengers under SSI. The major role in degradation of AMI may be attributed to hydroxyl radicals, whereas superoxide anion radicals, singlet molecular oxygen and hydroxyl radicals contribute to degradation of ALP.

AB  - This work presents the characterization of novel synthesized WO3/Fe3O4 catalysts and investigates their photocatalytic activity for thiacloprid decomposition under UV and simulated sunlight radiation. Four WO3/Fe3O4 nanopowders with different amounts of WO3 were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. XRD analysis showed the presence of hematite and magnetite nano-dimensional phases of Fe3O4 in the catalysts. The magnetite phase content increased with increasing WO3 content. Degradation efficiency of thiacloprid in the presence of 6.1WO3/Fe3O4/H2O2 under simulated solar radiation was 2.2 times higher compared to Fe3O4. Under an external magnetic field, a significant increase in the catalysts separation from reaction mixture was observed.

AB  - Efficiency of heterogeneous photocatalytic degradation of aiprazolam was investigated. The structural and morphological properties of ZnO were investigated in detail. It was found that ZnO has wurtzite structure with crystallite size about 41 nm, specific surface area about 6.5 m(2)/g, and intraparticle system of pores (maximum pore width about 160 nm). The efficiency of aiprazolam photocatalytic degradation was examined as a function of the type of irradiation (UVA, visible, and simulated solar irradiation) and photocatalyst (ZnO, TiO2 Degussa P25), photocatalyst loading, pH, and the presence of hydroxyl radical, and positive hole scavengers. By examining the effect of types of irradiation and catalysts, it was found that the UVA/ZnO system is the most efficient for alprazolam removal. The optimum catalyst loading was 2.0 mg/mL for TiO2 Degussa P25, while in presence of ZnO degradation rate increases in whole investigated range. In the case of ZnO, the pH 7 was selected as an optimal condition, while in aqueous suspension of TiO2 Degussa P25, degradation rate increases in whole investigated pH range (3.4-8.8), but increasing is not as pronounced as in case of ZnO. Also, it was found that ZnO photocatalysis takes place only via hydroxyl radicals, while using TiO2 Degussa P25 positive holes play significant role, too. The results of total organic carbon and ionic chromatography analysis showed that after 60 min of irradiation using both catalysts aiprazolam was completely mineralized. Here, for the first time, reaction intermediates formed using both catalysts were studied in detail, whereby the main intermediates were hydroxyl derivates. ZnO showed high stability in photodegradation after three successive runs.

AB  - This article is concerned with the kinetics of the photocatalytic degradation of four neonicotinoids insecticides as active ingredients (AN) in their commercial formulations by using the annular slurry reactor (ASR). For all Als, more effective photodegradation was achieved by UVA than by visible light irradiation. The most efficient degradation was observed in the case of thiacloprid, which degraded completely after two hours of irradiation using UVA, and 59% using visible light irradiation. On the other hand, the most stable appeared to be acetamiprid, whereby during the same time of irradiation it was degraded 42% using UVA, and only 4% using visible light irradiation. Because of that the efficiency of a number of advanced oxidation processes was examined in the case of acetamiprid. It was found that the presence of H2O2 in ZnO, 7.8Fe/ZnO, and 7.2Fe/TiO2 systems using UVA did not bring significant changes in the efficiency of degradation. However, using visible light irradiation the presence of H2O2 in ZnO and 7.8Fe/ZnO systems significantly increases efficiency of acetamiprid degradation. Also, by adjusting pH to 2.80 in the system 7.2Fe/TiO2/H2O2 using both type of irradiation resulted in a significant increase of the degradation efficiency. For the first time, for ZnO/H2O2 system a general reaction mechanism in the dark, as well as in the presence of visible light irradiation was proposed. The electrical energy consumption of ASR was estimated for the most efficient visible light irradiation system using the figure-of-merit electrical energy per order and compared with batch and laminar falling film slurry reactor.

AB  - Two series of nanocrystalline brookite-type powders have been synthesized by using combined sal gel hydrothermal method with titanium tetrachloride (TiCI4) as a precursor and hydrothermal temperature and reaction time varied in the range of 120-200 degrees C and 12-48 h, respectively. The effects of chosen synthesis parameters on structural, morphological and optical properties of synthesized powders have been investigated by the XRPD, SEM, EDS and BET measurements, as well Raman spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry. The XRPD results have shown that pure brookite phase, with mean crystallite size of -33 nm, has been obtained only in the sample synthesized at 200 degrees C, after 24 h of hydrothermal process. In all other samples anatase phase also appears, whereas rutile and sodium titanate phases have been noticed in the samples synthesized at lower temperatures. The presence of different titania phases has also been confirmed and analyzed by Raman scattering measurements. The SEM measurements have shown spindle-like particles in brookite-rich samples synthesized at 200 degrees C, whereas BET measurements have detected mesoporous structure in these samples. The properties of synthesized powders have been correlated to their photocatalytic efficiency, tested in degradation of alprazolam, one of the 5th generation benzodiazepines. The sample consisted of pure brookite has shown the highest efficiency in the photodegradation of alprazolam, practically equal to the activity of Degussa P25.
