Eggshell Membrane-Templated MnO2 Nanoparticles: Facile Synthesis and Tetracycline Hydrochloride Decontamination

Abstract

Taking advantages of reticular proteins and reductive groups on the surface, eggshell membrane (ESM) was selected to synthesize MnO2 nanoparticles from potassium permanganate through a super simple way in which ESM acted as both template and reductant. This process avoided harsh reaction conditions or complicated aftertreatments and thus owned the merits of green synthesis, handy operation, low cost, and easy purification. The ESM-templated MnO2 nanoparticles (MnO2 NPs/ESM) were characterized, and the content of nanomaterials on the template was tested. MnO2 NPs/ESM showed a good capacity for decontamination of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The macroscopical materials can be separated easily by taking the membrane out to stop the degradation instead of centrifugation or filtration. It was studied that 72.27% of TCH (50 mg/L) was decontaminated in 20 min by 0.1920 g/L MnO2 nanoparticles, and removal efficiency could reach 83.10% after 60 min under buffered condition. The kinetics was studied with or without buffer, and it was concluded that the degradation process followed a pseudo-second-order model. The facile synthesis of materials and effective degradation would facilitate the nano-MnO2-based decontamination applications.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s11671-018-2679-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Pyrolytic synthesis of organosilane‐functionalized carbon nanoparticles for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation

“…To further understand the MB degradation by SiCNPs‐2.0, a kinetic study was carried out by changing the dose of SiCNPs‐2.0 under the same conditions. [ 49 ] Figure 6a displays the time‐dependent absorption intensity of MB degraded by different amounts of SiCNPs‐2.0 (0.125, 0.250, and 0.500 g·L −1 ), and the corresponding removal efficiencies were calculated and shown in Figure 10b. The linear kinetic plots of pseudo‐first‐order reactions were fitted and shown in Figure 10c.…”

CeO2 nano-hexagons decorated rGO/CNT heterostructure for high-performance LPG sensing

“…Uronic acid and saccharides comprise the aldehyde group (R-CHO) and performances as reducing agents to reduce the surface adsorbed Ce 4+ into Ce 0 . The intermolecular and intramolecular forces, non-chemical effects, and electrostatic forces arrange the macromolecules, help for the formation of the nanoparticles, and control the shape [31]. In Hydrothermal route, the solution was taken into an autoclave and exposed to 180 °C for 24 h. After, the powder was washed with ethanol and DI water, dried then collect CeO 2 nanopowder.…”
