Abstract

A novel Si-N@EBC/3TiZn composite was developed, analyzed and utilized as a photocatalyst for methylene blue (MB) degradation. The Si-N@EBC/3TiZn at various compositions of Si-N@EBC was investigated and exhibited excellent photoactivity for degradation reaction when the Si-N@EBC composition in the photocatalyst was 30%. Textural analysis showed that 30%Si–N@EBC/3TiZn was a mesoporous material with 80.3 m²/g specific surface area and 19.3 nm pore diameter, while optical analysis showed a remarkable reduction in the band gap of the sample, making it a solar light responsive photocatalyst. The percent MB removal from the photodegradation process was 98.61

0.21% at optimal initial MB concentration of 24.7 mg/L, pH of 9.84, 30%Si–N@EBC/3TiZn dosage of 1.16 g/L and irradiation period of 51.7 min. The pseudo-first-order L-H model provided a good fit to the MB photocatalytic degradation data with high

values. 30%Si–N@EBC/3TiZn was recycled eight times, with 90.78% degradation occurring at the 8th run.

期刊介绍： Water Resources and Industry moves research to innovation by focusing on the role industry plays in the exploitation, management and treatment of water resources. Different industries use radically different water resources in their production processes, while they produce, treat and dispose a wide variety of wastewater qualities. Depending on the geographical location of the facilities, the impact on the local resources will vary, pre-empting the applicability of one single approach. The aims and scope of the journal include: -Industrial water footprint assessment - an evaluation of tools and methodologies -What constitutes good corporate governance and policy and how to evaluate water-related risk -What constitutes good stakeholder collaboration and engagement -New technologies enabling companies to better manage water resources -Integration of water and energy and of water treatment and production processes in industry
