Hydrothermal Synthesis and Catalytic Activity of a Nanosized Fe2V4O13 Material in Heterogeneous Fenton-like Reaction for Degradation of Organic Compounds

Abstract

In this research, the nanosized Fe2V4O13 complex oxide material was synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Its structure, morphology characterization, and other properties were determined using X-ray, SEM, EDX, and DTA-TG methods. The catalytic activity of the material was evaluated in terms of the decolorization and the degradation of the Indigo carmine dye. The optimal condition for the degradation and the reusability of the catalyst were determined. The results showed that the heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst is a promise for wastewater treatment.
