Abstract

In this research, TUD-1 coated NiFe2O4 was synthesized by comparing in-situ and post- synthesis methods, for application as photocatalyst material in dye degradation. One pot synthesis of material was conducted by mixing all chemical precursors in a homogeneous system under hydrothermal condition, followed by calcination at 500oC for 2h. For comparison purpose, two-steps synthesis procedure conducted by firstly synthesis of TUD-1 followed by its use for NiFe2O4 impregnation. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was employed as precursor for TUD-1 and NiCl2.6H2O and FeCl3.6H2O were utilized as precursors for synthesis of NiFe2O4 by co-precipitation method. The physicochemical properties of materials were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Gas Sorption Analyzer (GSA), zeta potential, Vibrating-Sample Magnetometry (VSM) and Ultraviolet-Diffuse Reflectance (UV-DRS). The photocatalytic activity examination of materials was conducted for methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB) photocatalytic oxidation. The results indicated that in-situ prepared material (NFT-1) produced a higher specific surface area of 228.75 m2/g compared to post-synthesis material (NFT-2) with the value of 218.07 m2/g. The NFT-1 material exhibited band gap energy of 2.73 eV which support adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity. An excellent degradation of MB of 95.67% removal and RhB of 95.08% removal during 60 min were demonstrated by NFT-1. The materials showed magnetism to support easy in separation and reusability. Based on the reusability results, the synthesized material has maintained stability until 5th cycles. Evaluation on the effect of scavengers on the kinetics of photocatalytic degradation has been performed and the hydroxyl radicals (●OH) was proven to be the most important species for the oxidation mechanism.

Abstract

In this investigation, an exploration on the use of low-cost effective methods for laboratory wastewater treatment using magnetic biochar has been conducted. Magnetic biochar derived from orange peel waste loaded with nickel nanoparticles (Biochar/Ni) was prepared by pyrolysis procedure of orange peel waste with nickel chloride as nickel precursor at 600 oC for 2 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive x-ray (SEM-EDX), Raman spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were employed for identify the feature of Biochar/Ni. Photocatalytic, photocatalytic oxidation, and microwave-assisted catalytic peroxidation were the treatment procedures employed to evaluate the activity of Biochar/Ni. The results showed the dispersed nickel nanoparticles in the composite are photocatalytic system to produce radicals for decolorizing laboratory wastewater as proven by accelerated oxidation by the addition of H2O2 and S2O82- as oxidants, and inhibition by the addition of radicals and superoxide radical scavengers. In addition, microwave-irradiation intensified catalytic peroxidation with shorter time and higher decolorization efficiency. The greenness evaluation of the process using AGREE software addressed the microwave-assisted catalytic peroxidation as the most efficient procedure utilizing Biochar/Ni for being developed and implemented to organic contaminated wastewater.
