Abstract

Coconut shell-based activated carbon-supported TiO2 catalyst had been prepared with a sol-gel method using titanium tetraisopropoxide acting as TiO2 precursor. TiO2/activated carbon photocatalyst was characterized with X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), and surface area analysis using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) adsorption-desorption isotherm. Photocatalytic activities of TiO2/activated carbon were investigated through the degradation of indigo carmine using UV light. The highest degradation percentage (%D) obtained for the indigo carmine was 91.79% at pH 3 and an initial concentration of 5 mg L-1 after 25 min radiation. TiO2/activated carbon showed higher photocatalytic activities when sunlight was used, in comparison to that of UV light.

Abstract

In this paper, TiO2/α-Fe2O3 composite with high photocatalytic activity was prepared by a mechanical milling using iron sand from Lampanah in Aceh Besar regency as hematite (α-Fe2O3) source. Hematite was extracted from iron sand by using hydrochloric acid followed by co-precipitating using ammonium hydroxide as co-precipitation agent. Hematite and TiO2 powder were mixed and milled on a planetary ball mill without incorporating any solvent. The materials were characterized by using X-ray difraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The XRD results showed that the iron (III) oxide synthesized was hematite (α-Fe2O3) phase with the average crystallite size 27.967 nm. SEM analysis showed that iron sand was on irregular form, while the hematite (α-Fe2O3) and TiO2/α-Fe2O3 composite was on regular sphere. The TiO2/α-Fe2O3 composite was evaluated on photodegradation of indigo carmine (IC) dye using UV light irradiation. The highest degradation efficiency of IC (100%) was obtained by initial pH of dye solution equal to 1, photocatalyst dosage of 0.2 g, initial dye consentration of 5 mg/L for 120 min irradiation time. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2/α-Fe2O3 composites using UV light was almost the same as that of by solar light. Keywords: Iron sand, α-Fe2O3/TiO2 composite, mechanical milling, photocatalyst, indigo carmine

Abstract

TiO2/activated carbon derived from waste coffee grounds (TiO2/WCGAC) has been prepared by a sol gel method . Waste coffee ground was chemically activated using hydrochloric acid 0.1 M solution and modified with titanium tetraisopropoxide as TiO2 precursor. The structural features of the photocatalyst was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM EDX),  Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption. The XRD results showed that TiO2 is anatase and rutile phase, while FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of  Ti-O groups. The specifics surface area of TiO2/WCGAC was higher than that of activated carbon derived from waste coffee grounds. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2/WGCAC has been evaluated for degradation of indigo carmine solution under UV and solar light irradiation. It was found that degradation percentage of indigo carmine under solar light was higher than that of under UV light.
