Catalytic activity of the SO4− radical for photodegradation of the azo dye Cibacron Brilliant Yellow 3 and 3,4-dichlorophenol: Optimization by application of response surface methodology

Structural modulation of Co(II) coordination polymers with flexible bis(benzimidazole) and different dicarboxylate ligands

“…In recent years, using MOFs as catalysts has becoming an interesting field [26][27][28], which mainly stems from many inherent advantages, such as the controlled oxidation state of the cation, the possibility to tune the electron density on the metal as a contribution of different ligands, as well as multiactive central metal atoms available within the molecule. The activated persulfate oxidation is an emerging approach for the removal of organic compounds in water and soil, and can produce the highly oxidative species-sulfate free radicals, which further react with a variety of organic pollutants [29,30]. Moreover, the MOFs are a candidate to catalyze the degradation of these organic pollutants.…”

Environmental aspects on the photodegradation of reactive triazine dyes in aqueous media

“…On the other hand, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are proven to be capable of destroying various types of recalcitrant water pollutants. Among AOPs, UV-based processes are shown to be effective in decolorization of textile dye effluents [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Although relatively ineffective in mineralization of organic loading of dye effluents, direct UV-photolysis might be considered as a treatment method aimed to remove coloration without addition of auxiliary chemicals (i.e.…”

Syntheses, Structures and Catalytic Properties of Cobalt(II) and Silver(I) Coordination Polymers Based on Flexible Bis(2-methyl benzimidazole) and Dicarboxylic Acids

“…The difference catalytic performances of the two complexes may be due to the distinct metal centers and the different dimensions of the coordination polymers. The complexes can catalyze hydrogen peroxide to produce ÁOH radicals which are the effective and highly active oxidizing species and further increase the efficiency of the pollutant degradation significantly [31].…”
