Abstract

A photocatalytic membrane combining photocatalyst and membrane technology based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and TiO2/CNT has been developed. Such combination is to overcome fouling formation on the membrane, thus prolonging the membrane lifetime and enhancing the efficiency on the waste treatment. PAN nanofiber was prepared by electrospinning method. The precursor solution was dissolved PAN and dispersed TiO2/CNT in N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF). PAN concentration in the precursor solution was varied at 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, and 8.5%. The effect of PAN concentration on the fiber morphology and pore size was discussed. The performance of the resulted membrane on methylene blue (MB) removal was also investigated on a cross-flow system. SEM images of the resulted membrane identified that PAN nanofiber was successfully fabricated with random orientation. The PAN 6.5% showed the highest diffraction intensity of the anatase crystalline phase of TiO2. The additions of CNT and TiO2 lead to the formation of a cluster of beads as confirmed by TEM. Increasing the concentration of PAN increased the fiber diameter from 206 to 506 nm, slightly decreased the surface area and pore size, respectively, from 32.739 to 21.077 m2.g−1 and from 6.38 to 4.75 nm. The PAN/TiO2/CNT nanofibers show type IV of the adsorption-desorption N2 isotherms with the H1 hysteresis loops. Membrane PAN/TiO2/CNT at PAN concentration of 6.5% shows the optimum performance on the MB color removal by maintaining the percentage of rejection (%R) at 90% for 240 min and permeability of 750 LMH.

Abstract

Bismuth oxide nanoparticles were synthesized through the solution combustion method with a variation of fuel: oxidizer (hydrazine: bismuth nitrate) ratios (ϕ) of ϕ<1, ϕ=1 (stoichiometrically balanced) and ϕ> 1. Bismuth oxide nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and UV-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS). The FTIR spectra obtained implies that the bismuth oxide nanoparticles of the three ratios contain Bi-O-Bi and Bi-O groups indicating its successful formation. XRD diffractogram suggests that the synthesized bismuth oxide nanoparticles form the α-Bi2O3 crystalline phase for ϕ<1 and ϕ>1; meanwhile a mixture of α-/β- Bi2O3 phases for ϕ=1. The SEM image illustrates that bismuth oxide nanoparticles form pebble shapes with the ratios in the order of increasing particle sizes of ϕ>1, ϕ=1, and ϕ<1. The UV-DRS results show that the bismuth oxide with ϕ<1, ϕ=1, and ϕ>1 have respective band gap energies of 2.76 eV, 2.72 eV, and 2.78 eV. The evaluation of the photocatalytic activity of the three bismuth oxide samples shows bismuth oxide with ϕ=1 has the highest photocatalytic activity in remazol black B and methyl orange dyes with rate constants 6.744 x 10-5 s-1 and 7.369 x 10-5 s-1, respectively.

Abstract

Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) is a yellow solid, has good electrical properties and a wide band gap energy (2-3.96 eV). Therefore, this material is commonly used as a photocatalyst. This study aims to synthesize bismuth oxide using the sol-gel method, determine its physicochemical characteristics and photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methyl orange dyes. Bi2O3 is synthesized from Bi(NO3)3.5H2O which is reacted with citric acid at 100 ° C for 20 hours. The formed gel is then dried and calcined at 600 °C for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours. The synthesis results in the form of pale-yellow powder with the same crystal system that is a mixture of α-Bi2O3 (monoclinic) and γ-Bi2O3 (BCC) and has almost the same morphology that is similar to coral and has a particle size of 1-8 μm. The results of photocatalytic activity tests showed that the constant rate of degradation reaction of methyl orange by bismuth oxide with calcination time of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hours respectively was 2.76×10-5 s-1, 2.65×10-5 s-1, 2.53×10-5 s-1, 2.81×10-5 s-1 and 3.87×10-5 s-1. Bismuth oxide with a calcination time of 5 hours has the highest photocatalytic activity. Meanwhile, bismuth oxide with a calcination time of 5 hours has a band-gap of 2.86 eV and 2.64 eV. The stages of decomposition of bismuth oxide material with a calcination time of 5 hours consisted of 3 release stages namely H2O, CO2, CxHyOz respectively 12.20%, 5.33% 30.54%.
