The aim of this study is to investigate the photocatalytic properties and chemical durability of the CaO-B2O3-V2O5 glasses system. The prepared borovanadate glasses were confirmed to be amorphous. Replacing V2O5 with B2O3 improved the chemical durability, which could be explained by the increase in glass transition temperature. The photodegradation of methylene blue by the prepared photocatalysts followed pseudo-first-order rate kinetics, and 40 CaO-30 B2O3-30 V2O5 showed the highest removal efficiency of about 99% in 180 min.
The aim of this paper is to investigate the photocatalytic properties and chemical durability of the CaO-B2O3-V2O5 glasses system. The latter were synthesized by the melt-quenching technique. The amorphous nature of the prepared borovanadate glasses has been confirmed with X-ray diffraction. The chemical durability measured from their weights before and after immersion in deionized water and hydrochloric acid indicated that replacing V2O5 with B2O3 improved the chemical durability. The observed increases in chemical durability might be explained by the increase in the glass transition temperature, due to stronger bonding in the structural network. The photocatalytic performance was assessed by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under irradiation, and the evolution of dye degradation was analyzed by UV-visible spectrometry. The vanadium content in the glass, the amount of catalyst, and the initial dye concentration showed a variable effect on the degradation of the MB dye. The photodegradation of methylene blue by the photocatalysts was found to follow pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. The photocatalytic activity for all the prepared photocatalysts showed a higher degradation performance, and the results indicated that 40 CaO-30 B2O3-30 V2O5 has the highest removal efficiency of about 99% in 180 min.
