Abstract
The Fe2+/Fe3+ redox cycle is the rate-determining step of hydroxyl radical formation in the photo-Fenton system. In this research, methyl orange (MO) was used which was degraded using Fe3O4/g-C3N4 in photocatalysis and photo-Fenton systems. The influence of wavelength irradiation on the redox cycle of Fe2+/Fe3+ ions was investigated. The results showed that the MO degradation rate constant reached 0.152 min−1 in photo-Fenton and 0.090 min−1 in photocatalysis using UV–vis light, which is 50 and 30 times higher than Fenton system. Light irradiation affects iron-leaching process and iron photoreduction. The iron leaching occurs more frequently at high energies and does not occur at λ ≥ 420 nm. In photo-Fenton, interaction between H2O2 and Fe3O4 surface makes the leaching process easier to occur. The photoreduction results show that the effective conversion of Fe3+ to Fe2+ occurs at λ ≥ 380 nm with the percentage of Fe2+ reaching ∼90 % in both systems.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
