Characteristics and sonocatalytic activity of zeolite Y catalysts loaded with TiO2 using impregnation and ion exchange methods for the degradation of amaranth dye were investigated. The Ion-exchange method was used to encapsulate the TiO2 into the internal pores of the zeolite while the incorporation of TiO2 mostly on the external surface of zeolite was carried out using the impregnation method...

The sonocatalytic performance of the synthesized TiO2/Montmorillonite K10 (TiO2/MMT) nanocomposite was studied in removal of Basic Blue 3 (BB3) from water. The TiO2/MMT nanocomposite was prepared by hydrothermal method. Scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared were used to characterize the synthesized nanocomposite. The average size of TiO2 nanoparticles de...

BACKGROUND Un-doped and N-doped TiO2 nano-particles with different nitrogen contents were successfully synthesized by a simple sol-gel method, and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, Energy dispersive X-ray analysis and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra techniques. Then enhancement of sonocatalytic degradation of humic acid by un-doped and ...

The influence of the number of operating parameters on photocatalytic and sonocatalytic Acid Red 88 degradation from an aqueous solution was investigated in this paper. The experimental results indicated that the sonocatalytic process with Ni-TiO2 was far more effective for the degradation of high concentration azo dyes, regardless of the process condition. In order to achieve a larger surface ...

TiO2-SiO2/chitosan nanocomposite was synthesized using simple sonochemical technique. The characteristics of the synthesized nanocomposite were examined by TEM, SEM and EDX analysis. The performance of the prepared TiO2-SiO2/chitosan nanocomposite as efficient sonocatalyst was investigated for the degradation of methyl red. Sonocatalytic degradation o...

Fe3O4/CuO/ZnO nanocomposites with different molar ratio were synthesized using sol-gel method. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UVvisible spectroscopy, BET surface area analyszer, and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR). The sonocatalytic-photocatalytic-sonophotocatalytic activity of as-synthesized samples was investigated based on methylene blue degradation. ...

The sonocatalytic degradation of organic dyes (C.I. 50040, C.I. Reactive Red 1, C.I. Acid Orange 7) catalysed by Co/N/Er3+ : Y3Al5O12/TiO2 films was studied. For the preparation of Co/N/Er3+ : Y3Al5O12/TiO2 films, the sol-gel coating process was used. The phase composition, morphology, precursor at different temperatures and emitting light properties of the calcined powders were analysed by X-r...

In this study, the Er:YAlO3 as up-conversion luminescence agent, which can transfer the visible light part in the sonoluminescence to ultraviolet light, was synthesized by nitrate–citrate acid and sol–gel method. And then the Er:YAlO3/TiO2–Fe2O3 composite as a sonocatalyst was prepared by ultrasonic dispersion and liquids boil method. The prepared Er:YAlO3/TiO2–Fe2O3 composite was characterized...
