Azo dye acid Orange 7 （AO7） is used as a model compound to investigate the high reactivity of MW-APO. It is found that AO7 （up to 1000 mg/L） is completely decolorized within 5-7 min under an 800 W MW furnace assisted-APO. In the presence of chloride ion （up to 0.50 mol/L）, the decolorization is still 100% completed, though delayed for about 1-2 min. Experiments are made to examine the enhancement by AC. It is exciting to find that the 100% decolorization of AO7 （500 mg/L） is achieved within 3 min by MW-APO using 1.0 g/L AC as catalyst, while the degradation efficiency maintains at 50% by MW energy without persulfate after about 5 min. Besides the destruction of visible light chromophore band of AO7 （484 nm）, during MW-APO, two bands in the ultraviolet region （228 nm and 310 nm） are rapidly broken down. The removal of COD is about 83%-95% for 500 mg/L AO7. SO^4·- is identified with quenching studies using specific alcohols. Both SO^4·- and ·OH could degrade AO7, but SO^4·- plays the dominant role. In a word, MW-APO AC is a new catalytic combustion technology for destruction of organic contamination even for high concentration.展开更多

By focusing on NO, SO2, and Hg^0 oxidation efficiencies, the influences of pulse peak voltage, pulse frequency, initial concentration, electrode number, residence time and water vapor addition were investigated. The results indicate that NO, SO2 and Hg^0 oxidation efficiencies depend primarily on the radicals （OH, HO2, O） and the active species （O3, H2O2, etc.） produced by the pulsed corona discharge. The NO, SO2 and Hg^0 oxidation efficiencies could be improved as pulse peak voltage, pulse frequency, electrode number and residence time increased, but they were reduced with increasing initial concentrations. By adding water vapor, the SO2 oxidation efficiency was improved remarkably, while the NO oxidation efficiency decreased slightly. In our experiments, the simultaneous NO, SO2, and Hg^0 oxidation efficiencies reached to 40%, 98%, and 55% with the initial concentrations 479 mg/m^3, 1040 mg/m^3, and 15.0 μg/m^3, respectively.展开更多

The production of organic free-radicals in detached needles, and the production of O-2(radical anion) and O-1(2) in isolated chloroplasts were detected weekly by electron spin resonance (ESR) to evaluate their relative importance. The results show that the cumulative effect of far-UV irradiation, is best indicated by the production of organic free radicals in the needles, O-2(radical anion) production in chloroplasts is the next. The enhancement of O-1(2) production in chloroplasts by the cumulative far-UV irradiation seems to be not so important as O-2(radical anion) in mediating injuries induced by, far-UV radiation because of its high background value.展开更多

Inspired by the four-electron oxygen evolution reaction(OER), we supposed an anode-selection strategy to stabilize deeply oxidized states(*O and*OOH) which are beneficial to generating·OH. To verify the hypothesis, a candidate anode component(MIL-101(Cr), a well-known metal-organic framework with active variable-valence transition metal centers) was used to coat Ti/TiO_(2)plate to fabricate anodes. Compared to TiO_(2)(101) plane on undecorated anode surface, fast and complete removal of aniline and phenol, and improved energy utilization were achieved on MIL-101(Cr)-coatedTi/TiO_(2)anode. Mechanism investigation, including pollutant degradation pathways, showed the predominate contribution(69.60%–75.13%) of·OH in pollutant mineralization. Density functional theory(DFT)computations indicated Cr site in MIL-101(Cr) was more conducive to stabilizing*O and*OOH, leading to thermodynamical spontaneous generation of·OH. This work opens up an exciting avenue to explore·OH production, and supplies a useful guidance to the development of anode materials for EO process.展开更多
