Aims: The pollution of the environment by organic dyes in water is a matter of great concern. Wastewater containing dyes is difficult to treat by conventional wastewater treatment methods such as coagulation, ozonation, biological treatment, etc. This is why the implementation of an effective method by not generating pollutants secondary is necessary. The objective of this work is to study the degradation of remazol black, an azo dye, by the coupling of hydrogen peroxide - molybdenum oxide nanoparticle. The nanoparticles were synthesized by the aqueous sol-gel method using a reflux assembly. Study Design: Random design. Methodology: The nanoparticles were synthesized by the aqueous sol-gel method using a reflux assembly and then characterized by X-ray diffraction and using software origin to determine the particles size by Scherrer's formula. The influence of hydrogen peroxide, molybdenum oxide and hydrogen peroxide / molybdenum oxide coupling, and the degradation kinetics of remazol black were studied. We also studied the influence of the pH of the solution, the mass of molybdenum nanoparticles and the concentration of remazol black on the dye degradation process. Results: The results showed that the synthesized oxide is ammonium molybdenum trioxide NH3(MoO3)3) with a hexagonal structure and size 22.79 nm. The study of the catalytic effect revealed a degradation rate of 17%, 0.83% and 42% respectively for H2O2, NH3(MoO3)3 and the coupling NH3(MoO3)3/H2O2. The study also showed that the degradation of remazol black by the couple NH3(MoO3)3 /H2O2 is better at pH = 4 and for a mass of nanoparticles of 400 mg. This degradation kinetics are pseudo 1st order. In addition, the degradation rate decreases when the concentration of remazol black increases. The efficiency of the coupling (NH3(MoO3)3 / H2O2 showed at ambient temperature, that it was possible to remove about 60% of the initial color of remazol black from the water in a batch reaction. Conclusion: The reflux method makes it possible to synthesize molybdenum nanoparticles. The molybdenum oxide hetero-Fenton process is effective in removing remazol black dye from water.

Metal oxide titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized by using a simple and economical sol-gel method. The prepared nanoparticles were used to evaluate methylene blue dye degradation and as catalysts in the oxidation of benzaldehyde. The crystallite size of the titanium dioxide nanoparticle was 18.3 nm, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The spherical morphology was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the elemental composition of the nanoparticle was found by energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) analysis. The anatase form of the nanoparticle was confirmed by the bandgap 3.2 eV, which was measured using UV–DRS analysis. The bond between metal and oxygen was confirmed by the peaks at 485 and 606 cm–1 analyzed by Fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR). The efficiency of the catalyst in dye degradation was 60.08, 68.38, and 80.89% with respect to 50, 75, and 100 mg catalyst weight. The yield % of benzoic acid was 94%, and the reduction efficiency against 4-nitrophenol was 98.44%.

Photocatalysis has recently emerged as an advanced, green, and eco-friendly process for the treatment of wastewater and air, and antimicrobial disinfection applications. In this context, TiO2 nanostructures have been shown to be the prominent photocatalyst candidates due to their low cost, non-toxicity, and ease of fabrication. This review highlights the investigation and development of TiO2 photocatalyst film by sol-gel method with special emphasis on the photodecolorization of synthetic dyes and antibacterial activities. Furthermore, various synthesis methods for the preparation of TiO2 films and their advantages, as well as limitations, are summarized. Finally, recent advances in TiO2 films by sol-gel method for dye degradation and antibacterial activities, challenges, and future perspective are discussed.

In this study, CuO nanoparticles have been synthesized via a simple sol–gel method and green synthesis using flower (Matricaria chamomilla) extract. XRD analysis of the synthesized CuO nanoparticles clearly indicated a crystalline nature with a monoclinic structure regardless of the method of synthesis, while SEM revealed that the used synthesis methods affected the morphology of the CuO nanoparticles. The oxidative degradation kinetics of the organic dye Methyl Orange (MO) in the presence of the synthesized catalyst CuO and H2O2 has been investigated and compared depending on the dye concentration, reaction time and temperature. The catalytic activity of CuO was studied by measuring the UV–visible spectrum of the MO dye solution treated with CuO and H2O2. It was determined that the MO degradation reaction kinetics followed the pseudo-first-order mechanism. Thermodynamic studies indicated an endothermic nature (∆H# = +73.03 kJ mol–1) and a decrease in randomness at the catalyst CuO/solution interface during the reaction (∆S# = –0.021 kJ mol–1 K–1). At the same conditions, the green synthesized CuO nanoparticles exhibit similar activity properties as CuO synthesized using the sol–gel method. Besides, the green synthesis of CuO nanoparticles is simple and uses a small number of chemicals. The obtained CuO may be a promising catalyst for the oxidative degradation of organics, especially used in medical procedures.

Three kinds of templates were used to prepare porous boron doped TiO2 based photocatalysts by sol-gel method. Adsorption of methyl orange on the materials maintained with very slight variation in template adding concentration. With increasing PEG1000 concentration, photocatalytic activity of the material presented obviously variation. The optimal concentration appeared at 0.08 mol/l, where methyl orange degradation rate was 24.7%. When PEG400 concentration was 0.14 mol/l, photocatalytic degradation rate of methyl orange on the material was 17.9%. In the template concentration range from 0.06 mol/l to 0.16 mol/l, degradation activity occurred at CTAB concentration of 0.10 mol/l showed the optimal value of 31.1%, which was the highest among the three kinds of templates.

In the present work, iron doped TiO2 films were prepared by sol-gel method. An extensive study by varying the dopant quantity (0, 0.7, 1.4, 5 % wt Fe2O3 related to TiO2), the type of substrate (glass or ITO coated glass) and annealing temperature (300 and 500°C) was performed. The sol-gel process evolution was studied by viscosity measurements and the unsupported gels were analyzed by thermal analysis (DTA/TGA) and IR spectroscopy. The deposited films were characterized by spectroellipsometry (SE). The catalytic activity of the films was determinate by measuring the degradation rate of the salicylic acid used as a model organic substance. A complex influence of the investigated parameters on the photocatalytic properties of the TiO2 based films was established.

Quantum-sized TiO2 had been prepared by using Ti(n-OC4H9)4 as the raw material via a microwave-assisted sol-gel method. The influence of different processing temperature and time on the size of TiO2 was researched. The TiO2 was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The prepared TiO2 presents anatase phase structure by TEM and XRD. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2 was evaluated by the degradation rate of methyl orange in aqueous solution. The particle size of TiO2 was about 9.10 nm when the processing temperature was 160°C and the processing time was 90 min (160°C-90min), and the photocatalytic performance was the best under this size. When the initial concentration of methyl orange was 10 mg/L and the amount of quantum-sized TiO2 was 0.6 g/L, the degradation rate of methyl orange under ultraviolet and solar irradiation at room temperature in 60 min were 40% and 86%, respectively.
