Abstract

Biomimetic catalysts, Zn(salen), Zn(Phe-TPP), ZnPSC₆ and graphene oxide (GO) immobilized ZnPSC₆ (ZnPSC₆/GO), were fabricated. These biomimetic catalysts were tested for catalytic decomposition of emerging contaminant triclosan (TCS). Catalysts were characterized using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR), and Raman spectra. The reaction processes were studied using HPLC, and the treated solutions were tested based on total carbon content (TCC) analysis and toxicity analysis. The impacts of catalysts on TCS degradation were investigated through testing removal efficiency, total carbon content (TCC) and ecotoxicity. The results showed that ZnPSC₆/GO displayed high activity due to salen-porphyrin binuclear active sites and immobilization into GO compared with Zn(salen), Zn(Phe-TPP), and ZnPSC₆. Finally, the reaction conditions of TCS oxidation catalyzed by ZnPSC₆/GO has been preliminarily discussed. In these conditions, high removal efficiency was observed (96.7%; [ZnPSC₆/GO] = 3.0 ppm, [TCS] = 0.02 mmol/L, [H₂O₂] = 0.60 mmol/L, T = 70 °C, t = 90 min, pH = 8).

Keywords: Biomimetic catalysis; degradation; salen-porphyrin complex; TCS

Abstrak

Pemangkin biomimetik, Zn(salen), Zn(Phe-TPP), ZnPSC₆ dan grafin oksida (GO) tidak bergerak ZnPSC₆ (ZnPSC₆/GO) telah dihasilkan. Pemangkin biomimetik ini telah diuji untuk penguraian pemangkin bagi triklosan cemaran memuncul (TCS). Pemangkin tersebut telah dicirikan menggunakan Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), pembelauan Sinar-X (XRD), transformasi Fourier inframerah (FTIR) dan spektrum Raman. Proses tindak balas telah dikaji menggunakan HPLC dan larutan yang telah dirawat diuji berdasarkan analisis jumlah kandungan karbon (TCC) dan analisis ketoksikan. Kesan pemangkin pada degradasi TCS telah dikaji melalui ujian kecekapan penyingkiran, jumlah kandungan karbon (TCC) dan ekoketoksikan. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa ZnPSC₆/GO menunjukkan aktiviti yang tinggi disebabkan oleh tapak aktif binukleus salen-porfirin dan imobilisasi ke dalam GO berbanding dengan Zn(salen), Zn(Phe-TPP) dan ZnPSC₆. Akhirnya, keadaan tindak balas pengoksidaan TCS yang dimangkinkan oleh ZnPSC₆/GO telah dibincangkan terlebih dahulu. Oleh itu, kecekapan penyingkiran tertinggi telah diperhatikan (96.7%; [ZnPSC₆/GO] = 3.0 ppm, [TCS] = 0.02 mmol/L, [H2O2] = 0.60 mmol/L, T = 70 °C, t = 90 min, pH = 8).
