Degradation Of Methyl Orange

As the need to use green chemistry routes increases, environmentally friendly catalytic processes are a demand. One of the most important and abundant naturally occurring catalysts is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the first recognized catalyst; it is a reducing agent due to its electron-rich structure. The effects of spinach on the preparation of zinc oxide nanoparticles and the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange and paraquat in sunlight and under a UV lamp and photocatalytic degradation in sunlight were studied. Different parameters of the catalytic preparation process and photocatalytic degradation process were studied. Characterization of differently prepared samples was carried out using different analytical techniques such as XRD, SEM, and EDX and finally the photocatalytic activity towards decomposition of methyl orange and paraquat.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Composites of Sm doped TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed on carbon nanofibers (Sm-TiO2/CNFs) with different Sm contents were prepared by preoxidation, hydrolyzation and calcination of Sm-TiO2 precursor/PAN nanofibers. The characterizations of SEM, EDX, XPS and XRD showed that the CNFs surface was loaded by Sm-TiO2 nanoparticles with a uniform size of about 10nm, existing as anatase. It was concluded from XPS results that Ti element exist as Ti4+ and Sm doping increased the content of absorbed oxygen in composites. The effect of Sm doping on the photocatalytic activity of the Sm-TiO2/CNFs composite was investigated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange aqueous solution under UV irradiation. It was found that Sm doping could improve the photocatalytic property of Sm-TiO2/CNFs effectively compared with the undoped specimen, and the photocatalytic activity of the Sm-TiO2/CNFs samples enhanced firstly and then reduced with Sm content increasing.
