Abstract
Dyes as one of the majority critical environmental pollutants from industrial wastewaters, have caused many concerns for researchers. In this research an effective photocatalyst based on La2O3-SiO2 nanocomposite was prepared and evaluated for degradation of toluidine blue (TB) dye. The prepared photocatalyst was illustrated impressive performance in degradation of TB equal to 97% by visible light irritation. Accuracy of synthesized nanocomposite was studied by some technics including FE-SEM, FT-IR, EDX and mapping analysis. Also the effective parameters in degradation percent of TB such as pH, temperature, time, concentration and the amount of nanocomposite were investigated and optimized equal to amounts of 8.0, 25℃, 80 min, 3.0 µg/mL and 0.04 mg respectively.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Catalysis publishes topical collections in all fields of catalysis which are composed only of invited articles from leading authors. The journal documents today’s emerging and critical trends in all branches of catalysis. Each themed issue is organized by renowned Guest Editors in collaboration with the Editors-in-Chief. Proposals for new topics are welcome and should be submitted directly to the Editors-in-Chief.
The publication of individual uninvited original research articles can be sent to our sister journal Catalysis Letters. This journal aims for rapid publication of high-impact original research articles in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
