Abstract:

Tungsten trioxide nanoparticles with two different sizes (average particle sizes about 50 and 80 nm) were prepared by the spray pyrolysis method. Photo degradation of Congo Red (azo dye) showed that photo catalytic property of the as-prepared WO3 nanoparticles with average size about 80 nm is higher than the sample with average size about 50 nm. Photo degradation of Rhodamine B (cationic triarylmethane dye) showed that photo catalytic property of the as-prepared WO3 nanoparticles with average size about 50 nm is higher than the sample with average size about 80 nm. The samples were characterized with X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), EDX analysis and UV-visible spectrum. Different interactions between dyes and the photo catalyst surface, probably causes the inverse behavior of WO3 nanoparticles with two different sizes in Congo Red and Rhodamine B photo degradation reactions.

Preparation of Different WO3 Nanostructures and Comparison of Their Ability for Congo Red Photo Degradation

Tungsten trioxide nanoparticles with monoclinic structure and average particle size about 80 nm were prepared by the spray pyrolysis method. WO3 nanorods with hexagonal structure and average dimension about 15 × 100 nm were synthesized in gram quantities by modified hydrothermal method at lower temperature and shorter reaction time in comparison to the previous research. Photo de...

Photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B, and phenol red dyes using NiMn2O4 nanoparticles prepared by a new approach

NiMn2O4 nanoparticles have been successfully prepared through sol-gel method. The effects of different factors such as the type of solvent, and amino acid temperature were investigated on the size and morphologies of products. The smallest particle size of NiMn2O4 nanoparticles was found to be 25 nm in diameter. The magnetic properties of the samples were also measured by an alternating gradien...

Decolorization of rhodamine B and congo red by partial purified laccase from Lentinus polychrous Lév

This study reports decolorization of Rhodamine B and Congo red by a partially purified laccase from Lentinus polychrous Lév. in the presence or absence of 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6sulfonate) diammonium salt (ABTS) as a redox mediator. The decolorization study showed that about 90% of Rhodamine B could be decolorized within 52 h, whereas Congo red could be decolorized more than 75% ...
