Degradation of blue dye waste in Sarong Samarinda production using WO3-bleaching earth (BE) has been conducted. Structural and morphological characterization has conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The X-ray diffraction results show the mineral on bleaching earth is rectorite dioctahedral mica layer and dioctahedral smectite with a ratio 2:1. The WO3 pattern is appeared after the calcination. After calcination at 500°C, the WO3 is deposited homogeneously on the BE surface. The catalytic performance of WO3-BE for photodegradation of the blue dye waste under the solar light is 99.85 % within 1 h.

AbstractIn this work, aluminate type phosphorescence materials were synthesized via the solid state reaction method and the photoluminescence (PL) properties, including excitation and emission bands, were investigated considering the effect of trace amounts of activator (Eu3+) and co-activator (Dy3+). The estimated thermal behavior of the samples at certain temperatures (> 1000 °C) during heat treatment was characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TG). The possible phase formation was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphological characterization of the samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PL analysis of three samples showed maximum emission bands at around 610 nm, and additionally near 589 nm, 648 nm and 695 nm. The bands were attributed to typical transitions of the Eu3+ ions.

Flower like bismuth oxy chloride (BiOCl) was successfully synthesized by a simple hydrolytic method at room temperature. The precursor and as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), High Resolution Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (HR FESEM). The results indicated that the as-prepared BiOCl sample is self-assembled hierarchically with nano sheets. The photocatalytic activity of BiOCl was tested on the degradation of the Oxamyl (OM) under solar light irradiation. The results showed that pesticide molecules could be efficiently degraded over BiOCl under solar light irradiation. All the experiment were carried out in the following reaction condition, [OM] = 10-4 mol dm-3, BiOCl NPs= 40mg/50ml, pH= 6.3. Effect of operational parameter such as concentration of H2O2, K2S2O8, FeCl3, Fenton’s reagent (Fe3+/H2O2) and N2, O2 purging on the photocatalytic degradation was observed.

Semiconductor materials have been shown to have better photocatalytic behavior and can be utilized for the photodegradation of organic pollutants. In this work, three-dimensional flower-like SnS2 were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. Core-shell structured SiO2@α-Fe2O3 nanocomposites were then deposited on the top of the SnS2 flowers. The as-synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The photocatalytic behavior of the SnS2-SiO2@α-Fe2O3 nanocomposites was observed by observing the degradation of methylene blue (MB). The results show an effective enhancement of photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MB especially for the 15 wt. % SiO2@α-Fe2O3 nanocomposites on SnS2 flowers.

Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4, Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4and Ni0.2Cu0.3Zn0.5Fe2O4nanoferrites were synthesized, characterized and evaluated in terms of their performance as catalysts in the methyl esterification reaction of soybean oil. The nanoferrites were synthesized by combustion and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The XRD patterns show the presence of inverse spinel B(AB)2O4phase. The EDX results confirmed the stoichiometry of the nanoferrite systems, whose morphology consisted of large block-like agglomerates with a brittle aspect and a wide agglomerate size distribution. The results indicate that the Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4nanoferrite was the most active catalyst in the esterification reaction, with conversion rates ranging from 40 to 91%.

AbstractA series of tetracarboxylphthalocyanines (MPc(COOH)4, M = H, Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)) were anchored onto MCM-41 by the following procedures: functionalization of MCM-41 with (EtO)3SiCH2CH2CH2NH2 reacting with surface Si-OH, and anchoring MPc(COOH)4 onto MCM-41 with a substitution reaction between chloroformyl and amino groups. The samples were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Catalytic activity of oxidation was tested using solutions of ethanethiol in petroleum ether and thiophene in octane; CoPc-CONH-MCM-41 displayed the highest conversion ratio of 90.15 % and 93.79 %, respectively.

Al-pillared bentonite supported Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area (BET) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The supported Fe3O4 nanoparticles exist on the surface of clays, with better dispersing and no obvious aggregation than the ones without bentonite support. Batch tests were carried out to investigate the catalytic oxidation Orange II by the obtained heterogeneous catalysts. The effect of pH, temperature and initial H2O2 concentration on degradation was discussed, and the regeneration ability of catalyst was also studied.

This work discusses methods of preparing iron oxide for the Fenton reaction, using methylene blue as a model molecule. The solids were prepared by precipitation, complexation, combustion, and decomposition and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, specific surface area measurement and were evaluated for methylene blue removal. The method influenced the structural and surface properties of the solids, and consequently the catalytic performance of the solids. The solid prepared by precipitation showed the highest area, amorphous phase, and the best performance in the adsorption test. On the other hand, the combustion method favored the formation of hematite and traces of magnetite.  The solid prepared by this method showed higher values of the methylene blue dye oxidation./Este trabalho discute métodos de preparação de óxido de ferro para a reação de Fenton, utilizando o azul de metileno como molécula modelo. Os sólidos foram preparados por precipitação, complexação, combustão e decomposição e caracterizados por espectroscopia de infravermelho por transformada de Fourier, difração de raios-X, microscopia eletrônica de varredura, espectroscopia de energia dispersiva de raios-X, medição de área superficial específica e foram avaliados para remoção de azul de metileno. O método influenciou as propriedades estruturais e superficiais dos sólidos e, consequentemente, o desempenho catalítico dos sólidos. O sólido preparado por precipitação apresentou a maior área, fase amorfa e melhor desempenho no teste de adsorção. Por outro lado, o método de combustão favoreceu a formação de hematita e vestígios de magnetita.  O sólido preparado por este método apresentou valores mais altos de oxidação do azul de metileno.
