Photo-catalytic activity of iron nanoparticles supported on SBA-15 for degradation of organic pollutants
The increasing prevalence of organic pollutants such as rhodamine B (RB), p-nitrophenol (PNP), ciprofloxacin (CPX), ibuprofen (IBP) and paracetamol (PCT) in water sources necessitates the development of effective and sustainable degradation technologies. Herein, Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA-15) supported silica was impregnated with iron (Fe) nanoparticles using the wet-incipient volume impregnation method, followed either by drying (Fe/SBA-15 D) or calcination (Fe/SBA-15 C). The organic pollutant–degrading performance of these catalysts was evaluated via photolysis and heterogeneous photo-catalysis and photo-Fenton process under ultra-violet (UV) irradiation. Characterisation via X-ray diffraction confirmed the preservation of the mesoporous structure of SBA-15 after Fe impregnation. The presence of iron oxide nanoparticles was identified, particularly in Fe/SBA-15 C. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption analyses revealed a decrease in the specific surface area, indicating the partial filling of SBA-15 pores with Fe species. UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy showed a reduction in the bandgap energy after the incorporation of Fe, which enhanced photo-catalytic activity. X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy results revealed that Fe/SBA-15 D contained a high proportion of Fe2+, whereas Fe/SBA-15 C exhibited excess Fe3+. Fe/SBA-15 D with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) degraded RB, PNP, IBP and PCT with high efficiency, while Fe/SBA-15 C was substantially effective for CPX degradation. The maximum degradation% of RB, PNP, CPX, IBP and PCT were 100 %, 99.45 %, 91.54 %, 86.08 % and 86.11 %, respectively. These results are attributed to the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) facilitated by the synergistic effect of a highly concentrated Fe2+ with H2O2 and the presence of sulfate (SO42−) ions, which serve as active sites and electron–hole traps. This study confirms that •OH radicals are the primary reactive species responsible for the effective degradation of target organic pollutants.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
