研究目的
Investigating the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye using a-Fe2O3 nanoparticles synthesized via phase transformation under UV light irradiation.
研究成果
The a-Fe2O3 nanoparticles synthesized via phase transformation showed effective photocatalytic degradation of MB dye under UV light, with up to 92% degradation achieved under optimal conditions. The reaction followed pseudo-first order kinetics.
研究不足
The challenge of completely transforming all nanoparticles into a-Fe2O3 phase and the need to control various parameters like pH, concentration, types of iron salts, alkali solution, and reaction time for optimal results.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The a-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method involving chemical precipitation of aqueous salts of iron using NaOH aqueous solution, followed by phase transformation at 550°C.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Aqueous solutions of FeSO
3:7H2O and FeCl6H2O were used as precursors. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Magnetic stirrer, muffle furnace, UV lamp (Philips; 19 W), centrifuge.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The mixture of iron salts was stirred vigorously, NaOH was added dropwise, the precipitate was collected, washed, dried, and calcined. Photocatalytic degradation was carried out under UV light.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The photocatalytic degradation was analyzed by plotting ln(Ct/C0) versus time to determine the reaction kinetics.
