Furthermore, the impacts of ion intensity on phenol degradation were examined. The findings indicated that the disgrace ratio advanced in acidic conditions and an upper degradation was achieved in combination processes. The current new investigation examined the effect of ion intensity and the findings determined that the principal intensity of solution is an inactive variable on phenol disgrace with these systems.

    Research Article www.acsami.org Passivated Iodine Pentoxide Oxidizer for Potential Biocidal Nanoenergetic Applications Jingyu Feng, Guoqiang Jian, Qing Liu, and Michael R. Zachariah* Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Iodine pentoxide (I2O5), also known as diiodine pentoxide, is a strong oxidizer which has been recently proposed as an iodine-rich oxidizer in nanoenergetic formulations, whose combustion products lead to molecular iodine as a biocidal agent. However, its highly hygroscopic nature hinders its performance as a strong oxidizer and an iodine releasing agent and prevents its implementation. In this work, we developed a gas phase assisted aerosol spray pyrolysis which enables creation of iron oxide passivated I2O5. Transmission electron microscopy elemental imaging as well as temperature-jump mass spectrometry confirmed the core shell fi nature of the material and the fact that I2O5 could be encapsulated in pure unhydrated form. Combustion performance nds an optimal coating thickness that enables combustion performance similar to a high performing CuO based thermite.

Parkeyb and Mehmet Kesmezb Iodic acids are widely studied in atmospheric and biological applications but their inherent hydrophilic properties introduce complexities that affect their functionality and reactivity. We have shown that iodic acid (HIO3) dehydrates directly into iodine pentoxide (I2O5) in contradiction to the generally accepted multi-step dehydration mechanism where HIO3 dehydrates into HI3O8 first, then dehydrates into I2O5. The generally accepted mechanism is used to determine the concentration of iodic acid by TGA and is only valid for special conditions. The revised mechanism allows for the determination of concentrations of iodic acids under all conditions, and the more specific conditions where the accepted mechanism is Received 6th December 2016 valid are shown. The determination of concentration of iodic acid with the revised dehydration Accepted 1st February 2017 mechanism is dependent on assumptions of residual water and initial concentration of HI3O8.

Abstract: Efficient and cost-effective removal of radioactive iodine (radioiodine) from radioactive contaminated water has become a crucial task, following nuclear power plant disasters. Several materials for removing radioiodine have been reported in the literature.
