| ABSTRACT |
|
In this study, the various organic supports (i.e., silicone, acrylonitrile- butadiene-styrene, epoxy, and, butadiene rubber)
with great sorption capacity of organic contaminants were chosen to develop nano-ZnO/organic composites (NZOCs) and to prevent
the detachment of nano-ZnO particles. The water resistance of the developed NZOCs were evaluated, and the feasibility of the
developed NZOCs were investigated by evaluating the removal efficiency of 1,1,2-trichloroethylene (TCE) in the aqueous phase.
Based on the results from water-resistance experiments, long-term water treatment usage of all NZOCs was found to be feasible.
According to the FE-SEM, EDX, and imaging analysis, nano-ZnO/butadiene rubber composite (NZBC) with various sizes and types
of porosity and crack was measured to be coated with relatively homogeneously-distributed nano-ZnO particles whereas nano-
ZnO/silicone composite (NZSC), nano-ZnO/ABS composite (NZAC), and nano-ZnO/epoxy composite (NZEC) with poorly-developed
porosity and crack were measured to be coated with relatively heterogeneously-distributed nano-ZnO particles. The sorption capacity
of NZBC was close to 60% relative to the initial concentration, and this result was mainly attributed to the amorphous structure of
NZBC, hence the hydrophobic partitioning of TCE to the amorphous structure of NZBC intensively occurred. The removal efficiency
of TCE in aqueous phase using NZBC was close to 99% relative to the initial concentration, and the removal efficiency of TCE was
improved as the amount of NZBC increased. These results stemmed from the synergistic mechanisms with great sorption capability
of butadiene rubber and superior photocatalytic activities of nano-ZnO. Finally, the removal efficiency of TCE in aqueous phase
using NZBC was well represented by linear model (R2≥0.936), and the Kapp values of NZBC were from 2.64 to 3.85 times greater
than those of Kphotolysis, indicating that butadiene rubber was found to be the suitable organic supporting materials with enhanced
sorption capacity and without inhibition of photocatalytic activities of nano-ZnO. |
