Photodegradation of Methylene Blue Solution via Au Doped TiO2 Nanocomposite Catalysts Prepared Using Novel Photolysis Method
Gold doped TiO2 has been successfully synthesized via the photolysis method and is characterized by different techniques. NPs of gold doped TiO2 were utilized for the degradation of methylene blue as a material pigmentation pollutant. The substitution of Au on TiO2 surface was established via XRD, EDX, TEM, and FT-IR techniques. The TEM and SEM results appea...
متن کاملOptimisation of the Photonic Efficiency of TiO2 Decorated on MWCNTs for Methylene Blue Photodegradation
MWCNTs/TiO2 nanocomposite was prepared by oxidising MWCNT in H2SO4/HNO3 then decorating it with TiO2-p25 nanopowder. The composites were characterised using XRD, TEM, FT-IR PL and UV-vis spectroscopy. The TEM images have shown TiO2 nanoparticles immobilised onto the sidewalls of the MWCNTs. The UV-vis spectrum confirms that the nanocomposites can significantly absorb more light in the visible r...
متن کاملCatalytic Photodegradation and Mineralization of Cationic Dye Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution onto Copper Doped Zeolite
In this study, the photodegradation and the mineralization of a cationic dye Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solution was investigated, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, using a photocatalyst based on copper modified natural zeolite (Z-Cu). Comparative studies of photolysis, photocatalysis on the monocationic form of zeolite (Z-Na) and photocatalysis on Z-Cu, quantified in terms of process...
متن کاملStainless steel wire mesh-supported ZnO for the catalytic photodegradation of methylene blue under ultraviolet irradiation.
The aim of this study was to assess the activity of catalysts formed by nanostructured zinc oxide supported on stainless steel wire mesh for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under UV irradiation. Catalysts prepared by means of different low temperature synthesis methods, as described in a previous work (Vu et al., Mater. Res. Bull. 47 (2012) 1577-1586) were tested. A new activit...
