Summary: This study utilized sophisticatedly altered Hummers and sol-gel procedures to synthesize graphene oxides and porous silica monolith particles. A Fischer esterification protocol was used to couple silica monoliths with graphene oxides. A N-phenyl acrylamide-incorporated porous polymer was then synthesized on the composite surface. The resulting polymer-bound composite effectively removed Cr(vi) and Cr(iii) from wastewater, with optimized parameters. The adsorption data followed the pseudo 2nd-order kinetic model and was best fit by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm (Cr(vi)) and the Freundlich model (Cr(iii)).

Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.
