研究目的
Investigating the degradation of various organic dyes including methyl orange (MO), methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV), malachite green (MG), Congo red (CR), and Eosin Y (EY) by the UV-Fenton process using Ag-Fe3O4/graphene composites as the heterogeneous catalyst with and without ascorbic acid (AA).
研究成果
Ag-Fe3O4/graphene composites with 10 wt% graphene and 25 wt% Ag exhibit high efficiency and stability in degrading various organic dyes under UV-light-assisted Fenton conditions, with ascorbic acid enhancing degradation. The catalysts show good reusability, making them promising for wastewater treatment applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to laboratory-scale experiments with specific dyes and conditions; scalability to industrial wastewater treatment may require further optimization. The use of UV light may not be energy-efficient, and the catalyst's performance could be affected by real wastewater matrices with multiple contaminants.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved synthesizing Fe3O4/graphene and Ag-Fe3O4/graphene composites via hydrothermal and microwave-assisted methods, followed by characterization and testing in UV-light-assisted Fenton reactions for dye degradation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Organic dyes (MO, MB, CV, MG, CR, EY) were used as pollutants, with reagents purchased from Merck and graphene from Angstron Materials.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included XRD (Rigaku MiniFlex 600), EDX (LEO 420), TEM (FEI Tecnai G2 SuperTwin), XPS (PHI-5400), Raman microscope (Thermo Scientific DXR xi), BET analyzer (Quantachrome Nova 2000), VSM (Oxford type
4:2T), UV-vis spectrophotometer, and UV-C lamps. Materials included iron sulfate heptahydrate, silver nitrate, sodium hydroxide, acetic acid, sodium dodecyl sulfate, hydrogen peroxide, and various dyes. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Catalysts were synthesized, characterized, and then used in batch photo-Fenton experiments where dye solutions were mixed with catalyst and H2O2 under UV irradiation, with samples taken at intervals for analysis.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Dye concentration was monitored using UV-vis spectroscopy, removal efficiency calculated, and kinetics analyzed with pseudo-first-order models; characterization data were interpreted using standard techniques like Debye-Scherrer formula for crystallite size.
