The occurrence of chlorinated herbicide diuron in water bodies is considered serious pollution and a major health hazard to flora, fauna and mankind. In the present investigation, we studied the photocatalytic degradation of diuron in an aquatic ecosystem using lanthanum ion doped nano TiO2 (Lnp) encapsulated in NaY zeolite pores (1 : 10) and impregnated in polystyrene film (ZLT). The hydrophobic nature of the polystyrene support resulted in an efficient and highly recoverable heterogeneous system. Catalyst characterization was carried out by FT-IR, XRD, DRS-UV, fluorescence, BET, SEM-EDAX and XPS. BET results revealed the successful loading of lanthanum ion doped TiO2 (Lnp) inside the NaY zeolite pores via a decrease in surface area for the zeolite encapsulated Lnp (ZLnp) as compared to NaY zeolite alone. DRS UV supported the impregnation of ZLnp in the polystyrene films; the bathochromic shift (Δλ) was 4 nm and the hypochromic shift decreased in intensity 10 fold. The photocatalytic reaction was carried out at a concentration of 20 mg L-1 of diuron, with 0.01 M H2O2 and a catalytic amount of 500 mg L-1 ZLT under unstirred conditions. Degradation of diuron by ZLT reached 40% after 2 hours. Noteworthy features are the good results under optimized conditions and that the same film models were used successfully in the presence of zebra fish (Danio rerio). The present investigation also demonstrated successful re-use of the photocatalytic film six times without any appreciable loss in catalytic activity. From the abovementioned results, it was proven that ZLT is an efficient and ecofriendly catalyst.
Kinetics of the chemical degradation of diuron.

The influence of pH and buffer concentration on the chemical degradation of diuron in water has been analysed over a wide temperature range. The process irreversibly gives 3,4-dichloroaniline as the only product containing the phenyl ring. H+, OH- and phosphate buffer are efficient catalysts of the reaction. The rate constant first increases rapidly at low buffer concentrations and then gradually levels off at higher ones. At 40 degrees C and high phosphate concentration (>0.01 M), or in the extreme pH regions, the half-life is approximately 4 months and the activation energy is 127 +/- 2 kJmol(-1).

The direct hydrogenation reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aromatic amines with non-noble metals is an attractive area. Herein, the pyrolysis of Co(2-methylimidazole)2 metal-organic framework successfully produces a magnetic Co-N/C nanocomposite, which exhibits a porous structure with a high specific area and uniform Co nanoparticle distribution in nitrogen-doped graphite. In addition, the Co-N/C catalysts possess high cobalt content (23%) with highly active β-Co as the main existing form and high nitrogen content (3%). These interesting characteristics endow the Co-N/C nanocomposite with excellent catalytic activity for the hydrogenation reduction of nitro compounds under mild conditions. In addition, the obtained Co-N/C nanocomposites possess a broad substrate scope and good cycle stability for the reduction of halogen-substituted or carbonyl substituted phenyl nitrates.

The reduction of polar bonds, in particular carbonyl groups, is of fundamental importance in organic chemistry and biology. Herein, we report a manganese pincer complex as a versatile catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of amides, carbamates, urea derivatives, and even polyurethanes leading to the corresponding alcohols, amines, and methanol as products. Since these compound classes can be prepared using CO2as a C1 building block the reported reaction represents an approach to the indirect reduction of CO2. Notably, these are the first examples on the reduction of carbamates and urea derivatives as well as on the C-N bond cleavage in amides by transfer hydrogenation. The general applicability of this methodology is highlighted by the successful reduction of 12 urea derivatives, 26 carbamates and 11 amides. The corresponding amines, alcohols and methanol were obtained in good to excellent yields up to 97%. Furthermore, polyurethanes were successfully converted which represents a viable strategy towards a circular economy. Based on control experiments and the observed intermediates a feasible mechanism is proposed.
