Article: Degradation of Congo red pollutants using microwave derived SrFe12O19 : An efficient magnetic photocatalyst under visible light
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The photocatalytic behaviour of magnetic SrFe12O19 and SrFe11.4Al0.6O19 under visible and sun lights was evaluated using Congo red (CR) as a model dye. Synthesis of pure and Al substituted SrFe12O19 by microwave combustion method followed by calcination at 950 °C yielded single phase materials having particle sizes and surface areas in the ranges ∼120 - 180 nm and 3.5 - 5.5 m2/g, respectively. The experimental band gaps (1.5 - 1.56 eV), derived from UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra, matched well with those calculated (1.86 – 1.91 eV) theoretically from electronic structure data using density functional theory. Both the samples efficiently degraded CR under visible/sun lights and the low band gap of the materials was mainly responsible for the activity. Slightly higher (∼ 10%) activity of SrFe11.4Al0.6O19 was primarily attributed to Al doping which prevented the electron–hole recombination. Reasonably high values of magnetization (∼ 52 emu/g at 300K) was beneficial in separating the catalysts from the reaction cell at a low strength magnetic field after the reaction. These magnetic photocatalysts may be exploited further for the degradation of other dyes for their possible use in remediation of wastewater.Journal of Alloys and Compounds 01/2013; · 2.29 Impact Factor -
