研究目的
To synthesize a new photocatalytic thin films TiO2/Fe2O3/chitosan by a solution casting technology for the degradation of azo coloured compounds in industrial waste water, specifically Rhodamine B.
研究成果
The TiO2/Fe2O3/chitosan nanocomposite films demonstrated high photocatalytic activity under simulated solar irradiation, achieving a 99.4% degradation rate of Rhodamine B in 120 minutes. The films also showed good stability and reusability, making them suitable for industrial wastewater treatment.
研究不足
The study focuses on the degradation of Rhodamine B under specific conditions. The applicability to other dyes or under different environmental conditions was not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The TiO2/Fe2O3/chitosan nanocomposite films were prepared using a solution casting technology. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of Rhodamine B under simulated solar irradiation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Rhodamine B was selected as a model azo dye. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, and HRTEM.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Titanium dioxide (TiO2), chitosan, Rhodamine B, FeNO3, glutaraldehyde, X'pert pro X-ray diffractometer, SEM (JEOL, X-650), HRTEM (JEOL), XPA photochemical reactor, 300 W xenon lamp, Agilent 8453 UV-visible spectrometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The nanocomposite films were prepared by dissolving chitosan in acetic acid, adding TiO2 and Fe2O3, casting on a glass plate, drying, and crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. The photocatalytic activity was tested under simulated solar irradiation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The concentration of Rhodamine B was calculated by its standard curves using UV-visible spectrometry.
