Abstract
The textile industry significant contribution to water pollution necessitates the development of innovative solutions for efficient wastewater treatment. This study reports the successful synthesis of PEG@ZnS:Au and PVP@ZnS:Au nanoparticles via co-precipitation method, characterized by a suite of analytical techniques including photoluminescence (PL), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanoparticles was evaluated, revealing that PEG@ZnS:Au and PVP@ZnS:Au nanoparticles degraded 94.25 % and 91.45 % of rhodamine B dye, respectively, within a 30-minute timeframe, showcasing their exceptional catalytic performance. Kinetic studies revealed pseudo-first-order behavior, conforming to the Langmuir isotherm model, with an endothermic adsorption process. The degradation process is mediated by forming reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are generated by electron-hole pairs upon photoexcitation. This research underscores the potential of nanoscale materials for enhanced photocatalysis. It provides valuable insights into developing efficient wastewater treatment strategies, highlighting a promising approach for mitigating the environmental impact of textile industry effluents.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry is published monthly in English by the Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. JIEC brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal and is to disseminate information on all aspects of research and development in industrial and engineering chemistry. Contributions in the form of research articles, short communications, notes and reviews are considered for publication. The editors welcome original contributions that have not been and are not to be published elsewhere. Instruction to authors and a manuscript submissions form are printed at the end of each issue. Bulk reprints of individual articles can be ordered. This publication is partially supported by Korea Research Foundation and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies.
