Electrochemical hydrogenation is an environmentally favorable alternative to chemical reduction of indigo because it performs under ambient conditions using water as the donor of hydrogen. The purpose of this work is to fabricate electrocatalysts with high activity and durability for electrocatalytic hydrogenation of indigo. This work compares the performances of a series of Ni based catalysts (Ni, NiMo, NiP and NiMoP) on the substrate of carbon felt (CF) for electrolyzing water. Both the overpotential and Tafel slop are decreased as a function of the components as Ni > NiMo > NiP > NiMoP. Hence, NiMoP/CF shows the excellent performance based on the thermodynamics (η10 = 239 mV) and kinetics (Tafel slope = 89.7 mV·dec?1) for splitting water. Further, the electrode of NiMoP/CF was used for the electrocatalytic hydrogenation of indigo. The conversion efficiency and Faradic efficiency can be improved as 26.2% and 10.7% respectively. Furthermore, the dyeing behavior of the electrohydrogenated indigo is similar to that of conventional reduction methods. Thus, the present work offers foundational results and paves the way for the design of new catalytic materials for the reduction of vat dyes. 相似文献
The indigo method developed by Bader and Hoigné for aqueous ozone analysis was modified to allow for both gaseous and aqueous ozone determination. Gas or water samples were extracted with a gas-tight syringe containing a known volume of indigo reagent. The modified procedure provided a more consistent basis for gaseous and aqueous ozone determination allowing for more accurate ozone mass balance calculations. Direct gaseous ozone UV absorbance with molar absorptivity of 3,000 M?1cm?1 at 258 nm was used as primary standard to determine the molar absorptivity of the indigo reagent. The molar absorptivity of indigo reagent, assuming a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio for the reaction between indigo and ozone, was determined to be 23,150 ± 80 M?1cm?1, or approximately 16 percent higher than that of 20,000 M?1cm?1 suggested by Bader and Hoigné. An independently calibrated membrane-electrode ozone monitor showed good correlation with indigo method results using the molar absorptivity value determined in this study. The apparent molar absorptivity of aqueous ozone at the wavelength of 258 nm measured by the modified indigo method increased from 2,400 to 3,600 M?1cm?1 in the investigated ozone concentration range of 0.4 to 11.0 mg/L. This variation might have been caused by the inherent interference of unidentified ozone byproducts, which presence was supported with scanning spectra in the wavelength range of 200 to 300 nm. 相似文献
This paper is a critical review and summary of the analytical procedures currently used by operating water utilities to control ozone treatment processes, considering disinfection as well as the many oxidative applications of ozone in water treatment applications. The role of common interferences in the various methods is described.
In operating U S., Canadian, European, and Japanese water treatment plants currently employing ozone as a primary disinfectant, ozone nearly always is followed by the addition of small quantities of chlorine, chlorine dioxide, or chloramine to provide the residual in the distribution system and to act as a secondary disinfectant. Clearly, the analytical procedures used must distinguish between the various species. This review critically presents these various factors and their implication with respect to “true values” of ozone determined under widely varying conditions. 相似文献
Absorption-based opto-chemical sensors for oxygen are presented that consist of leuco dyes (leuco indigo and leuco thioindigo) incorporated into two kinds of polymer matrices. An irreversible and visible color change (to red or blue) is caused by a chromogenic chemistry involving the oxidation of the (virtually colorless) leuco dyes by molecular oxygen. The moderately gas permeable copolymer poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) and a highly oxygen-permeable polyurethane hydrogel, respectively, are used in order to increase the effective dynamic range for visualizing and detecting oxygen. We describe the preparation and properties of four different types of such oxygen sensors that are obtained by dip-coating a gas impermeable foil made from poly(ethylene terephthalate) with a sensor layer composed of leuco dye and polymer. 相似文献
The indigo method for the analysis of aqueous ozone was modified to allow analysis of dissolved ozone in nonaqueous liquid phases. The method was tested using the solvent decamethylcyclopentasiloxane 245 and a vegetable oil. The molar absorptivity at 600 nm of the indigo trisulphonate molecule was re-checked and found to be 20,069 ± 412 L mol?1 cm?1 which is in agreement with the generally accepted value. Linear correlation between liquid phase and gas phase ozone concentrations confirmed that ozone solubility in decamethylcyclopentasiloxane 245 obeyed Henry's law with a constant of 1.71 ± 0.09 mg L?1 per mg L?1 in the gas phase. Ozone solubility in the vegetable oil followed a power law model with k = 0.148 and n = 0.767 (liquid and gas phase concentrations in mg L?1). The stoichiometry of the reaction between ozone in the nonaqueous phase and indigo trisulfonate in acidic solution was also confirmed as being about one. Moreover, the reaction products were confirmed by chromatographic analysis. This method was found effective to analyze ozone in nonaqueous solvents with a lower limit of detection of 2.6 μg L?1 and upper limit of detection of 142.7 mg L?1. 相似文献
An inexpensive adsorption method has been developed for the removal of indigo carmine, a highly toxic indigoid class of dye from wastewater. Waste materials--bottom ash, a power plant waste and de-oiled soya, an agricultural waste--have been used as adsorbents. Attempts have been made through batch and bulk removal of the dye and both the adsorbents have been found to exhibit good efficiency to adsorb indigo carmine. Under batch technique effect of temperature, pH, concentration, dosage of adsorbents, sieve size of adsorbents, etc. have been observed. The dye uptake on to both the adsorbents is found to validate Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms models. Different thermodynamic parameters, like Gibb's free energy, enthalpy and entropy of the on-going adsorption process have also been evaluated. Batch technique has also been employed for the kinetic measurements and the adsorption follows a first order rate kinetics for both the adsorbents. The kinetic investigations also reveal for both the adsorbents film diffusion and particle diffusion mechanisms are operative in the lower and higher concentration ranges, respectively. Under the bulk removal, indigo carmine has been adsorbed through the column beds of bottom ash and de-oiled soya and more than 90% of the dye material has been recovered by eluting dilute NaOH solution through exhausted columns. 相似文献
The indigo method for the determination of ozone as formulated for the new Swiss Standard Methods for Drinking Water Analysis is presented with an international list of suppliers of indigo trisulfonate. Such a new selective and simple method will be needed in many countries because current methods for ozone analysis are generally non-selective when applied on real drinking waters or wastewaters.
Ozone rapidly and stoichiometrically decolorizes indigo trisulfonate in acidic solution. The decrease in absorbance at 600 nm is linear with ozone residual and is 0.42±0.01 cm-1 per mg/L (Δ = 20,000 L Mol-1cm-1 at 600 nm when compared to the uv absorption of pure ozone of = 2900 L Mol-1cm-1 at 258 nm). The limits of detection are 2 µg/L for an instrumental and 10 µg/L for a visual field method. 相似文献
