Photodegradation of Methylene Blue Solution via Au Doped TiO2 Nanocomposite Catalysts Prepared Using Novel Photolysis Method
author
Abstract:
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 appeared that the particles in the nano range and its size below 15nm. Without a catalyst, the degradation of dye under visible light in acid and nature medium gives humble results but good results at pH 11 while it gives excellent results at all conditions when using catalyst.

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...

The nano sized TiO2 and ZnO are the most active photocatalysts. Methylene blue was used as a reference molecule for the photocatalytic degradation. The TiO2 and ZnO can totally remove methylene blue dye. The effect of various process parameters like initial concentration, contact time, dose of catalyst and pH on the extent of removal of dye by photocatalysis in presence o...
