Mechanochemically Synthesized Solid Solutions La1−xCexFeO3+x/2 for Activation of Peroxydisulfate in Catalytical Reaction for Tetracycline Degradation

The synthesis of orthoferrites the type La1−xCexFeO3+x/2, x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.07, by applying a simple effective mechanochemical transformation from constituent oxides is presented. Physicochemical methods such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–Vis spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) adsorption were applied to gain information about effect Ce4+ content on structural, textural, optical properties samples. catalytic activity samples for water decontamination was determined in photo-Fenton-like activation persulfate removal tetracycline hydrochloride model pollutant. presence persulfate, PDS, considerably increased efficiency under visible light illumination.
