Titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst is one of the promising semiconductors used for the degradation of commercial dyes. However, it has to be doped with other metals to increase its efficiency, reactivity and stability. This study was carried out to synthesize hybrid Cu-doped TiO2 using wet impregnation method by varying the loading of copper precursor (0.3-1.0 wt%), incubation temperature (50-90°C) and incubation time (1-24 h). The synthesized hybrid Cu-doped TiO2 was characterized using XRD, EDX, FESEM and BET to obtain the structural, elemental, and surface morphological information. The photocatalytic activities of the synthesized Cu-doped TiO2 were investigated for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under UV-light irradiation. The results revealed that the optimum Cu loading was at 0.5wt% Cu with incubation temperature of 50°C and 2h incubation time. The hybrid Cu-doped TiO2 showed an excellent dye degradation efficiency ranging from 40-82% under UV-light irradiation.

Zno Powder

Zinc oxide (ZnO) powder was used as a photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye solution. In this study, different amount of ZnO (10, 20 and 30 mg) as photocatalyst was used to investigate the performance of photocatalytic degradation of MB dye solution. The morphology and structural properties of ZnO powder were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) techniques. The photocatalytic activities of the ZnO powder were investigated by degrading the MB dye solution under UV light irradiation at different amounts of ZnO photocatalyst. The percentage degradation of MB dye solution in the presence of 10 mg ZnO powder was found to be the highest at 96.2 % within 60 min irradiation compared to 20 and 30 mg of ZnO powder. The photodegradation rate constants, k obtained in this study were 0.0661, 0.0558, and 0.0507 min-1 for 10, 20, and 30 mg ZnO powder, respectively that follow the pseudo first-order reaction kinetics.

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the adsorption and photocatalytic activity of activated carbon-based photocatalysts. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) were chosen as semiconductors to prepare composites with activated carbon by the wet impregnation method. Activated carbon was prepared using as starting material onion leaves (Allium fistulosum) and as activating agent phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Photooxidation and batch adsorption of phenol was studied to compare the efficiency of the materials prepared. The results showed that the composite AC–TiO2 has a greater photocatalytic activity and a better adsorption capacity compared to AC–ZnO composite.

Abstract La1-xSrxNiO3 (x= 0.0, 0.3 or 0.7) perovskite-type oxides were synthesized using the modified proteic gel method and using collagen as an organic precursor. Catalysts of La1-xSrxNiO3/Al2O3 were obtained using the wet impregnation method. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, surface area and temperature-programmed reduction. The catalysts were evaluated in the partial oxidation reaction of methane, and the levels of selectivity to CO, CO2, H2 and H2O were determined. Among the catalysts studied, the catalyst LaNiO3/Al2O3 had the highest methane conversion level (78%) and higher H2 selectivity (55%).

Abstract Copper loaded η-alumina catalysts with different copper contents have been prepared by impregnation/evaporation method. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR, BET, UV–vis, H2-TPR and evaluated in the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH3 and in the selective catalytic oxidation of NH3. The characterization techniques showed that the impregnation/evaporation method permits to obtain highly dispersed copper oxide species on the η-alumina surface when low amount of copper is used (1wt. % and 2 wt.%). The wet impregnation method made it possible to reach a well dispersion of the copper species on the surface of the alumina for the low copper contents Cu(1)-Al2O3 and Cu(2)-Al2O3. The latter justifies the similar behavior of Cu(1)-Al2O3) and Cu(2)-Al2O3 in the selective catalytic oxidation of NH3 where these catalysts exhibit a conversion of NH3 to N2 of the order of 100% at T > 500°C.
