Abstract

Photocatalysis serves as an effective and environmentally friendly approach for the treatment of wastewater and water, with ZnO-based photocatalysts exhibiting significant efficacy in this area. Consequently, we present a novel method that integrates solvothermal, calcination, and hydrothermal processes to produce a ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2 ternary photocatalyst, which has shown a remarkable photocatalytic activity in eliminating methyl orange (MO), rhodamine B (RhB), and methylene blue (MB) when exposed to persulfate (SO52⁻) under visible light. The ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2 photocatalysts facilitate the activation of SO52⁻ ions, thereby enhancing the degradation of pollutants under visible light exposure. In the presence of the ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2 (20%)/SO52⁻ system, MB was entirely decomposed within 75 min, whereas only 39.8% of MB was eliminated using the ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2 (20%) sample without SO52⁻. This indicates a synergistic effect between SO52⁻ activation and visible-light photocatalysis in the ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2 (20%) system. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of this system is attributed to the activation of SO52⁻ ions by electrons, leading to the generation of sulfate radicals (SO4⁻), improved charge carrier separation, and increased visible light absorption by Bi2MoO6 and AgFeO2. Ultimately, the proposed mechanism for the significantly enhanced photocatalytic activities involves multiple Z-scheme/type II heterojunctions. The findings of this study confirm that the ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2 system is a viable visible-light-driven nanocomposite for the purification of water and wastewater.

新型Z-Scheme/ ii型ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2三元异质结过硫酸盐辅助光催化去除可见光下几种染料
光催化是一种有效且环保的废水和水处理方法,zno基光催化剂在该领域表现出显著的效果。因此,我们提出了一种整合溶剂热,煅烧和水热工艺的新方法来生产ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2三元光催化剂,该催化剂在可见光下暴露于过硫酸盐(SO52⁻)时,在去除甲基橙(MO),罗丹明B (RhB)和亚甲基蓝(MB)方面表现出显着的光催化活性。ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2光催化剂促进SO52毒血症的活化,从而增强在可见光下对污染物的降解。在ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2 (20%)/SO52毒血症系统中,MB在75分钟内被完全分解,而在没有SO52毒血症的ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2(20%)样品中,MB只有39.8%被消除。这表明在ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2(20%)体系中,SO52毒化和可见光催化之间存在协同效应。该体系的光催化性能增强是由于电子对SO52 -毒化的激活,导致硫酸盐自由基(SO4 -毒化)的产生,改善了载流子分离,增加了Bi2MoO6和AgFeO2对可见光的吸收。最终,提出的光催化活性显著增强的机制涉及多个Z-scheme/ II型异质结。本研究结果证实了ZnO/Bi2MoO6/AgFeO2体系是一种可行的可见光驱动纳米复合材料,用于水和废水的净化。

期刊介绍: The Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering provides a global forum for the dissemination of research in chemical engineering. The Journal publishes significant research results obtained in the Asia-Pacific region, and simultaneously introduces recent technical progress made in other areas of the world to this region. Submitted research papers must be of potential industrial significance and specifically concerned with chemical engineering. The editors will give preference to papers having a clearly stated practical scope and applicability in the areas of chemical engineering, and to those where new theoretical concepts are supported by new experimental details. The Journal also regularly publishes featured reviews on emerging and industrially important subjects of chemical engineering as well as selected papers presented at international conferences on the subjects.
