New insights in photocatalytic removal of Alizarin Yellow using reduced Ce3+/TiO2catalyst

The present communication aims to obtain a novel Ce3+/TiO(2)thin film in a single step facile method using thein situtemplate process. The material was characterized by the XRD (X-ray diffraction), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), TEM (transmission electron microscope), and AFM (atomic force microscope) analyses. The thin film catalyst was intended to introduce in the degradation of one of potential dye Alizarin Yellow from aqueous solutions using the UV-A radiations. The mechanisms of degradation along with the physicochemical parametric studies were conducted extensively. The mineralization of pollutant and the replicate use of catalysts further enhance the applicability of present communication. Additionally, the real matrix treatment was conducted to simulate the treatment process.

Automated summary

This study successfully synthesized a novel Ce3+/TiO(2) thin film using the in-situ template process, and investigated its application in degrading the dye Alizarin Yellow under UV-A radiation. The results showed efficient mineralization of the pollutant and potential for catalyst reuse. Further research on real matrix treatment simulated the practical treatment process.
