<p>In this study, zeolite was synthesized from kaolin which was founded from Bangka Belitung as the starting material. Meanwhile, sodium silicate was used as silica source. Zeolite is material with many benefits, such as become an adsorbent. Kaolin has been used as starting material due to high content of silica and alumina, i.e 35 - 50 %. Zeolite was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis process, by mixing the metakaolin which was produced by calcination of kaolin at 700 °C for 6 hours, with sodium silicate and NaOH. The NaOH was used to activate the major components of Si and Al in the kaolin.The hydrothermal process was conducted at 100 °C for 24 hours with various concentrations of NaOH, i.e 1.5 N and 2.5 N. The NaOH concentration might determine the type of zeolite obtained. To improve the nature as adsorbent, zeolites modified into zeolit/TiO<sub>2</sub>. The addition of TiO<sub>2</sub>into the prepared zeolit aimed to produce a material with capability as adsorbent-photocatalyst. The result of research found that the addition of NaOH 1.5 N produced zeolite NaP1. Meanwhile, the addition of NaOH 2.5 N produced the NaP1 zeolite, zeolite X, and faujasite. The composite of zeolit/TiO<sub>2</sub>has ability on adsorption-photocatalytic as it was proven by methylene blue degradation under ultraviolet light.</p>

Titanate nanotubes were synthesized at various hydrothermal temperatures and reaction times by the hydrothermal process and used as photocatalyst. BET analysis was conducted in order to find out the surface area of these as-prepared samples and it was found that the surface area increases with rise in temperature till 130 oC. Synthesized as-prepared titanate nanotubes were applied on methylene blue degradation from aqueous media by UV irradiation. It was observed that dye removes ~99% from the aqueous media at a titanate nanotubes dose of 2 g/L.

There are few known parameters which govern tungsten trioxide (WO3) hydrothermal synthesis process which includes material source concentration, synthesis temperature, duration, pH value and additive level. Using design of experiments (DOE) approach, a systematic experimental procedure was conducted to investigate the effect of each parameter to the final morphology of the synthesized nanostructure. Despite the response obtained from this study is in qulitative form, the analysis still can be done to identify the combination of variables that most likely can produce either 1-D, 2-D or 3-D nanostructure. This insight is essential before further optimization of the process can be done in order to predict the behavior of the WO3 hydrothermal synthesis process.

YVO4: 10%RE3+(RE = Eu, Sm, Dy, Er) nanophosphors have been synthesized by a facile modified hydrothermal technology to obtain the high purity. The key procedure for this hydrothermal process is the adding order of precursors, in which excess sodium vanadate should be added in the solution of rare earth nitrates. The microstructure (crystal phase, morphology, particle size) of these phosphors are characterized by x-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope, which indicates that there are some cube-like crystals with tetragonal zircon structure and the average particle size is approximately 40 nm. The luminescent behaviors for the four rare earth ion-activated YVO4nanophosphors have been studied, and, for YVO4: 10%Eu3+nanophosphors in particular, it is found that a different hydrothermal process influences the phase composition, microstructure, and photoluminescence. This result suggests that the hydrothermal synthesis process (by adding sodium vanadate to the solution of rare earth nitrates) is favorable for YVO4nanophosphor to obtain pure phase, small particle size, long luminescent lifetime, and high luminescence quantum efficiency.

The research about synthesis and characterization of MCM-41 from rice husk has been done. Silica (SiO2) was extracted from rice husk by refluxing with 3M hydrochloric solution at 80 °C for 3 h. The acid-leached rice husk was filtered, washed, dried and calcined at 650 °C for 6 h lead the rough powder of rice husk silica with light brown in color. Characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FTIR spectroscopy method. Rice husk silica was dissolved into the sodium hydroxide solution leading to the solution of sodium silicate, and used as silica source for the synthesis of MCM-41. MCM-41 was synthesized by hydrothermal process to the mixture prepared from 29 g of distilled water, 8.67 g of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTMAB), 9.31 g of sodium silicate solution, and amount mL of 1 M H2SO4. Hydrothermal process was carried out at 100 °C in a teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave heated in the oven for 36 h. The solid phase was filtered, then washed with deionised water, and dried in the oven at 100 °C for 2 h. The surfactant CTMAB was removed by calcination at 550 °C for 10 h with heating rate 2 °C/min. The as-synthesized and calcined crystals were characterized by using FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and N2 physisorption methods. In order to investigate the effect of silica source, the same procedure was carried out by using pure sodium silicate as silica source. It was concluded that silica extracted from rice husk can be used as raw materials in the synthesis of MCM-41, there is no significant difference in crystallinity and pore properties when was compared to material produced from commercial sodium silicate.

Abstract Development of heterostructures is one of the constructive strategies for enhancing the photocatalytic activity. Here, novel CuFeO 2 -ZnO heterostructures with different weight percentage (CuFeO 2 = 0.5, 1, 5, 10%) were prepared by two-step precipitation-hydrothermal process. The structural confirmation was done by XRD and Raman analysis. The photocatalytic efficiency of the heterostructures was assessed by the degradation of methylene blue under sunlight. CuFeO 2 -ZnO heterostructures enhanced the photocatalytic performance compared to pure ZnO and CuFeO 2 . Among all, 5 wt % of CuFeO 2 on ZnO exhibited 100% degradation with 16 fold faster kinetics than ZnO. Time-resolved photoluminescent analysis revealed the increase in lifetime of charge carriers in the heterostructure. The band alignments of ZnO and CuFeO 2 , evaluated by Mott–Schottky revealed the existence of Type 1 heterostructures. Further, the heterostructures exhibited good recyclability. Thus, the present work demonstrates the use of p-type CuFeO 2 and n-type ZnO heterostructures as potential photocatalysts.

In this study, walnut-shaped V2O3 particles with high photocatalytic activity in the visible light were synthesized by hydrothermal process. The V2O3 samples synthesized with the various temperature conditions of the hydrothermal process were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-Visible spectrometer and N2gas adsorption/desorption analysis. For investigating the photocatalytic performance of synthesized V2O3 particles in the visible light condition, photodegradation experiments of methylene blue (MB) solution under artificial sunlight irradiation was conducted. As a result, the V2O3 hydrothermal-synthesized at 280 °C was composed of pure V2O3 crystal structure and showed high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MB dye in visible light.
