Abstract

Water pollution has become a global issue due to growing industrial activities, particularly the release of toxic dyes in textile wastewater. Therefore, water treatment is inevitable to conserve and reuse the wastewater. In our study, a photocatalytic technique was designed to degrade the commonly used direct yellow 12 (DY-12) dye present in aqueous media using polymeric composite materials based on poly(o-ethylaniline)/titanium dioxide/reduced graphene oxide (POEA/TiO2/rGO). The composites were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for the confirmation of the composition and the structural features, respectively. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to observe the surface morphology of the materials, while the photocatalytic activity of the composites was evaluated for the degradation of DY-12 dye under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Then, the factors affecting the photocatalytic activity (pH = 2, dye concentration = 100 ppm, catalyst dose = 500 mg/L, oxidant concentration = 15 g/L, temperature 60 °C, and irradiation time = 60 min) were optimized which achieved up to 98% removal of the target dye by the POEA/TiO2/rGO25% catalyst. After photocatalytic degradation, total organic carbon (TOC), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and FTIR analysis were performed to ensure the removal of the dye. Moreover, kinetic studies demonstrated that the degradation process followed the first-order rate mechanism.

水污染修复:聚(邻乙基苯胺)/TiO2/氧化石墨烯纳米复合材料高效光催化降解直接黄12染料
水污染已经成为一个全球性的问题,由于日益增长的工业活动,特别是在纺织废水中释放有毒染料。因此,为了节约和回用废水,水处理是必然的。在我们的研究中,设计了一种光催化技术,使用基于聚(邻乙基苯胺)/二氧化钛/还原氧化石墨烯(POEA/TiO2/rGO)的聚合物复合材料降解水介质中常用的直接黄12 (DY-12)染料。采用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和x射线衍射(XRD)对复合材料的组成和结构特征进行了分析。利用扫描电镜(SEM)观察了材料的表面形貌,并评价了复合材料在紫外线(UV)照射下降解DY-12染料的光催化活性。然后,对影响光催化活性的因素(pH = 2,染料浓度= 100 ppm,催化剂剂量= 500 mg/L,氧化剂浓度= 15 g/L,温度60℃,照射时间= 60 min)进行优化,使POEA/TiO2/rGO25%催化剂对目标染料的去除率达到98%。光催化降解后,进行总有机碳(TOC)、化学需氧量(COD)和红外光谱(FTIR)分析,以确保染料的去除率。此外,动力学研究表明,降解过程遵循一级速率机制。
