In the present work, x mol Ln(3+) modified ZnO Nano-particles (Ln = Sm3+, Eu3+ and Gd3+ ions; x = 0.008, 0.015, 0.025, 0.03 and 0.05) were synthesized by precipitation method. These Nano-particles are characterized by different advanced techniques; such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopic (EDX), UV-Visible diffuse reflectance, and fluorescence (FL) spectroscopy. Doping by lanthanides improves the crystal, surface area, porosity, morphology, as well as the optical adsorption and emission of UV light properties of the prepared photo-catalysts. Photo catalytic activity for the prepared Nano-materials was determined using both, fluorescent probe and dye methods. Results showed that the highly active Nano-particle is 0.025 Gd3+-ZnO. The highly active sample (0.025 mol Gd3+- ZnO) successfully mineralized textile dye and real refractory wastewater samples under sunlight illumination using CPC photo-reactor. Prepared photo-catalysts were also applied for water disinfection. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
