AB  - A novel porous gold polymer composite was prepared by the functionalization of a glycidyl methacrylate-based copolymer (pGME) with ethylene diamine (pGME-en), and activation by gold (pGME-en/Au), in a simple batch adsorption procedure in an acid solution, at room temperature. Detailed characterization of the pGME-en before and after activation was performed. The main focuses of this research were the design of a method that can enable the recovery of gold and the reuse of this multipurpose sorbent as an antimicrobial agent. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis pointed out amine groups as the primary binding sites for Au activation, while hydroxyl groups also contributed to the chelation reaction. pGME-en exhibited fast gold adsorption with an adsorption half-time of 5 min and an equilibrium time of 30 min. The maximal adsorption capacity was about 187 mg/g. The analysis of sorption experimental data with a non-linear surface reaction and diffusion-based kinetic models revealed the pseudo-second-order and Avrami model as the best fit, with unambiguous control by liquid film and intra-particle diffusion. The biological activity studies against Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans revealed moderate activity of pGME-en/Au against different bacterial and fungal species. pGME-en/Au was stable in a saline solution, with a release of approximately 2.3 mg/g after 24 h.

AB  - TiO2/WO3 composites supported on a stainless steel foil were prepared by the spray pyrolysis technique. Content of WO3 was gradually increased from 1 wt% to 100 wt.%, while the coating thickness was limited to about 1 pm. The coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of obtained coatings was investigated by degradation of methyl orange, used as model pollutant. The results show that with increasing WO3 content up to 10 wt.% photoactivity increases as result of better charge separation that could effectively prevent the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes. Further increase of WO3 content led to decrease of photoactivity. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - In this study, the feasibility of preparing porous TiO2 films on a stainless steel substrate from a hydrothermally prepared colloidal TiO2 solution by the spray pyrolysis technique is presented. The prepared samples were annealed at different temperatures and characterized by the XPS, XRD and SEM techniques, porosimetry and specific surface area measurements. The photocatalytic activities of the resulting films were evaluated by measuring the degradation of an azo pyridone dye, used as model pollutant, under simulated sunlight conditions. The relationships between the structural and morphological characteristics of the TiO2 films and their photoactivity were observed. It was found that the photoactivity was markedly dependent on the annealing temperature. On increasing the calcination temperature from 500 degrees C to 700 degrees C, the crystallite size and the rutile content increased, whereas the specific surface area and the rate of photodegradation decreased. Calcination at 700 degrees C resulted in a completely loss of photoactivity, due to the partial transformation of anatase to rutile phase, the increased crystallite size and decreased specific surface area. Specific activity (per unit of mass and per unit of surface area) was lowered within thicker films, pointing out significance of transport phenomena through porous films (the transport of dye and the transmittance of light as immaterial reagent). Based on the obtained results, the spray pyrolysis method appears to be a good choice for the preparation of photocatalytically active TiO2 films for the removal of dye pollutants.

AB  - Active porous alumina coatings were obtained by deposition of boehmite sol on stainless steel (SS) substrate by spray pyrolysis method. The temperature and the doping of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and La(3+) in the boehmite sol effects on the textural and structural properties and surface morphology of alumina coatings on stainless steel samples are presented. It was found that the addition of polyethylene glycol combined with La3+ to the boehmite sol before spraying improves the thermal stability of porous alumina coatings. X-ray diffraction patterns of a doped sample, even after 5 h at 1000 degrees C, point out to the presence only of delta-Al(2)O(3), with a S(BET) of 74 m(2)/g. XPS data and SEM photographs of coated samples show that alumina were well deposited on the metallic supports. The absence of any lanthanum compounds indicates very well homogeneous dispersion of La(3+)-ions on the surface of alumina crystallites. AFM images show sphere like alumina grains and agglomerates with surface roughness from 60 to 180 nm, depending on temperature and doping. Surface roughness of doped alumina samples was higher than that of non-doped. It was pointed out that spray pyrolysis method enables preparation of alumina layers with relatively high specific surface area, suitable for applications as catalysts supports.
