Abstract
In this study, a heterogeneous Fenton-like system was developed based on Fe2V4O13 composite oxide material with the aim of decomposing some hazardous organic compounds present in industrial wastewater (e.g., methylene blue, ciprofloxacin). The research results have shown that this composite oxide material was synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method with controlled conditions optimized for hydrothermal temperature and structure aging temperature. Characterization methods indicated that the optimal hydrothermal condition was at 180 °C for 12 h, and the structure aging temperature was at 80 °C for 12 h. Under these synthesis and structure aging conditions, a characteristic nano-rod structure of the material with dimensions of 500 × 40 × 20 nm (in length × width × height) was formed. This structure exhibited the best catalytic activity for organic compound decomposition compared to other material structures synthesized under different conditions in this study. The catalytic activity in decomposing of methylene blue and ciprofloxacin was high, reaching > 99% and > 77%, respectively, after 14 min. This was achieved following the Fenton system mechanism in the presence of H2O2 at pH 7 and 9. The mechanism followed the mixed homogeneous and heterogeneous Fenton process, in which the presence of leached vanadium ions accelerated the ≡Fe2+/≡Fe3+ redox couple regeneration, consequently enhancing the degradation efficiency. In the mechanism, the formation of the highly active free radicals •OH and •OOH is observed and demonstrated by using specific competitive inhibitors (quinhydrone, ascorbic acid). These findings suggest the potential of the Fe2V4O13-based nanomaterial for the efficient treatment of organic compounds in wastewater, particularly under neutral to alkaline media.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research is to disseminate knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological phenomena and processes in structures that have at least one lengthscale ranging from molecular to approximately 100 nm (or submicron in some situations), and exhibit improved and novel properties that are a direct result of their small size.
Nanoparticle research is a key component of nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology.
The focus of the Journal is on the specific concepts, properties, phenomena, and processes related to particles, tubes, layers, macromolecules, clusters and other finite structures of the nanoscale size range. Synthesis, assembly, transport, reactivity, and stability of such structures are considered. Development of in-situ and ex-situ instrumentation for characterization of nanoparticles and their interfaces should be based on new principles for probing properties and phenomena not well understood at the nanometer scale. Modeling and simulation may include atom-based quantum mechanics; molecular dynamics; single-particle, multi-body and continuum based models; fractals; other methods suitable for modeling particle synthesis, assembling and interaction processes. Realization and application of systems, structures and devices with novel functions obtained via precursor nanoparticles is emphasized. Approaches may include gas-, liquid-, solid-, and vacuum-based processes, size reduction, chemical- and bio-self assembly. Contributions include utilization of nanoparticle systems for enhancing a phenomenon or process and particle assembling into hierarchical structures, as well as formulation and the administration of drugs. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies, and interaction between the research providers and users in this field, are encouraged.
