ABSTRACT

This paper reports the use of two layered hydroxide salts (LHS) (zinc hydroxide nitrate - ZHN - Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2·2H2O, and zinc hydroxide chloride - ZHC - Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O) as catalysts for brilliant green (BG) organic dye bleaching, using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. The LHS were prepared by precipitation reaction between an aqueous solution of zinc salts and an aqueous ammonia solution. The solids were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), ultraviolet-visible electronic spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The catalytic activity of the solids was investigated at temperatures of 25, 35 and 45 °C, using different molar ratios of oxidant:dye:Zn2+ ions (present in the catalyst), in the absence and presence of ambient light. The kinetic aspect of the reaction was investigated considering that the reaction showed pseudo-first order behavior in relation to BG dye concentration. We propose a mechanism where superoxide radicals account for most of the bleaching taking place. The catalytic results obtained, along with the low cost and low toxicity of zinc compounds, establish ZHN and ZHC as novel catalysts for dye wastewater treatment, an area with constant demand for new methods and materials given its relationship with environmental equilibrium and human health.

ABSTRACT

Nitrate-intercalated Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized and exfoliated in formamide. Reaction of the single layer suspension with thiosalicylic acid under different conditions afforded two types of solids: LDHA1, in which the outer surface was modified with the anion thiosalicylate, and LDHA2, which contained the anion thiosalicylate intercalated between the LDH layers. LDHA1 and LDHA2 were used as supports to immobilize neutral (FeP1 and FeP2) and anionic (FeP3) iron(III) porphyrins. For comparison purposes, the iron(III) porphyrins (FePs) were also immobilized on LDH intercalated with nitrate anions obtained by the co-precipitation method. Chemical modification of LDH facilitated immobilization of the FePs through interaction of the functionalizing groups in LDH with the peripheral substituents on the porphyrin ring. The resulting FePx-LDHAy solids were characterized by X-ray diffraction (powder) and UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopies and were investigated as catalysts in the oxidation of cyclooctene and cyclohexane. The immobilized neutral FePs and their homogeneous counterparts gave similar product yields in the oxidation of cyclooctene, suggesting that immobilization of the FePs on the thiosalicylate-modified LDHs only supported the catalyst species without interfering in the catalytic outcome. On the other hand, in the oxidation of cyclohexane, the thiosalicylate anions on the outer surface of LDHA1 or intercalated between the LDHA2 layers influenced the catalytic activity of FePx-LDHAy, leading to different efficiency and selectivity results. FeP1-LDHA2 performed the best (29.6% alcohol yield) due to changes in the polarity of the surface of the support and the presence of FeP1. Interestingly, FeP1 also performed better in solution as compared to the other FePs. Finally, it was possible to recycle FeP1-LDHA2 at least three times.

ABSTRACT

The synthetic versatility and the potential application of metalloporphyrins (MP) in different fields have aroused researchers' interest in studying these complexes, in an attempt to mimic biological systems such as cytochrome P-450. Over the last 40 years, synthetic MPs have been mainly used as catalysts for homogeneous or heterogeneous chemical reactions. To employ them in heterogeneous catalysis, chemists have prepared new MP-based solids by immobilizing MP onto rigid inorganic supports, a strategy that affords hybrid inorganic-organic materials. More recently, materials obtained by supramolecular assembly processes and containing MPs as building blocks have been applied in a variety of areas, like gas storage, photonic devices, separation, molecular sensing, magnets, and heterogeneous catalysis, among others. These coordination polymers, known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), contain organic ligands or complexes connected by metal ions or clusters, which give rise to a 1-, 2- or 3-D network. These kinds of materials presents large surface areas, Brønsted or redox sites, and high porosity, all of which are desirable features in catalysts with potential use in heterogeneous phases. Building MOFs based on MP is a good way to obtain solid catalysts that offer the advantages of bioinspired systems and zeolitic materials. In this mini review, we will adopt a historical approach to present the most relevant MP-based MOFs applicable to catalytic reactions such as oxidation, reduction, insertion of functional groups, and exchange of organic functions.
