Abstract
Zinc oxide nanostructures were synthesized using a thermal decomposition method and subsequently doped with Fe (III) in this study. Techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Field emission scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to investigate the structural and chemical composition of nanomaterials. Fe-doped ZnO was synthesized using a simple, low-cost planetary high-energy ball milling process. The sonophotocatalytic activity of Fe-doped ZnO under visible light and ultrasonic waves was then studied. Another aspect of this study is the utilization of visible light, which is far more accessible and cost-effective than UV light. Malachite green (MG) and phenol were applied as water-soluble contaminants. MG degraded about 87.65% after 1 h in the presence of a Fe-doped ZnO catalyst under visible light and ultrasonic waves simultaneously. Phenol was degraded by approximately 64.50% under the same conditions.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
