Wet-chemical synthesis of nanostructured Ce-doped mixed metal ferrites for the effective removal of azo dyes from industrial discharges

Tehmina Kousar et al.

Summary: Photocatalysis is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly technique for addressing water pollution caused by industrialization. In this study, Ce-doped cobalt/nickel mixed metal ferrite materials were synthesized using the microemulsion method. The C-9@CNMF material exhibited better mineralization of the CR dye, faster mineralization rate, and excellent recyclability and photo-corrosion resistance. These superior photocatalytic properties are attributed to the nanoarchitecture, larger specific surface area, tunable bandgap, and effective charge separation characteristics of the C-9@CNMF sample.

Summary: UV-PCO air filters have low concentrations of typical byproducts for most pollutants, but are not recommended for buildings with high ethanol levels. A new exposure-based evaluation standard was developed based on formaldehyde generation, with 32.5% of cases identified as suitable for residential and commercial HVAC system applications and all cases suitable for industrial buildings. Parameters such as challenging compound types, inlet concentrations, and air velocity were found to be the main factors affecting the applicability of UV-PCO.

Summary: The synthesis of highly active and cheap photo-catalyst materials consisting of ZnO nanochips assembled over graphene derivatives, ZnO@GO and ZnO@RGO, was investigated. Results showed that ZnO@RGO had higher efficiency with 2.4 and 2 times higher kinetic rates for RhB and MB removal, respectively, attributed to the partially restored conjugated structure of RGO leading to better charge migration across semiconductor-carbon heterojunctions. The active species involved in the degradation process were systematically investigated, and a photo-catalytic mechanism was proposed, demonstrating good recyclability and resistance to photo-corrosion for both ZnO@GO and ZnO@RGO even after 360 minutes of consecutive photo-catalytic activity.
