Investigation on novel p-Cu2O@n-CeO2 sensitized n-ZnS: Influence of ZnS:CeO2:Cu2O ratio, boosted adsorptive-solar assisted photo-degradation for anionic and cationic dyes, and antimicrobial activity
This study examines the influence of modifying n-ZnS with n-CeO2 alone or in combination with p-Cu2O to develop novel ZnS/CeO2/Cu2O triheterojunctions for superior remediation of organic dyes (CR, CV, MB, RhB) and antimicrobial activity for the first time. ZnS was initially modified with hydrothermally prepared n-CeO2 in different ratios to create ZnS/CeO2 binary structures (ZC2:1, ZC1:1, ZC1:2, ZC1:4). Subsequently, p-Cu2O was synthesized as a second modifier for the optimal ZC1:2 binary structure to prepare new ternary ZnS/CeO2/Cu2O nanocomposites (ZC1:2Cu0.5, ZC1:2Cu1, ZC1:2Cu1.5, ZC1:2Cu2 and ZC1:2Cu3). The samples were characterized using XRD, XPS, EDX, HRTEM, UV–Vis, PL, and BET analysis. ZC1:2Cu1 triheterojunction exhibited a significant reduction in the bandgap (2.18 eV), a large surface area, and enhanced electron-hole separation character. ZC1:2Cu1 demonstrated 98.2 % removal efficiency for concentrated anionic CR dye (100 mg/L) based on the adsorption and photodegradation characteristics with good reusability. The degradation for cationic dyes were 90.1 % for 10 mg/L CV, 85.7 % for 10 mg/L MB, and 93.7 % for 5 mg/L RhB. Mott-Schottky plots determined semiconductors' VB and CB positions; accordingly, a plausible mechanism for photocatalytic dye destruction over ZC1:2Cu1 has been proposed. Finally, ZC1:2Cu1 exhibited enhanced antimicrobial activity relative to ZnS and ZC1:2.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Water Process Engineering aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and impact in all areas of the engineering of water and wastewater processing . Papers on advanced and novel treatment processes and technologies are particularly welcome. The Journal considers papers in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology applications in water, novel oxidation and separation processes, membrane processes (except those for desalination) , catalytic processes for the removal of water contaminants, sustainable processes, water reuse and recycling, water use and wastewater minimization, integrated/hybrid technology, process modeling of water treatment and novel treatment processes. Submissions on the subject of adsorbents, including standard measurements of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium will only be considered if there is a genuine case for novelty and contribution, for example highly novel, sustainable adsorbents and their use: papers on activated carbon-type materials derived from natural matter, or surfactant-modified clays and related minerals, would not fulfil this criterion. The Journal particularly welcomes contributions involving environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, including those which are energy-efficient, with minimal or no chemical consumption, and capable of water recycling and reuse that minimizes the direct disposal of wastewater to the aquatic environment. Papers that describe novel ideas for solving issues related to water quality and availability are also welcome, as are those that show the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. The Journal will consider papers dealing with processes for various water matrices including drinking water (except desalination), domestic, urban and industrial wastewaters, in addition to their residues. It is expected that the journal will be of particular relevance to chemical and process engineers working in the field. The Journal welcomes Full Text papers, Short Communications, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to Editors and Case Studies
