چکیده | Background: Nanozero-valent iron (nZVI) based catalysts, because of their large surface area, high
reactivity, strong reductive capacity, and cost-effective, have been used as reducing composite. NZVI is a
potential reductive composite because of its sufficient mobility and low toxicity. It can instantaneously
adsorb and reduced anionic dyes on its surface. Though, the aggregation tendency of nZVI refers to
intrinsic magnetic interactions and high surface energy. This limits its dispersibility. Also, in aqueous
media, reductive property of nZVI decrease significantly due to quick formation of a Fe oxide and
hydroxide layer on its surface. Supporting nZVI on graphene oxide (GO) results efficient dispersion of
nZVI which prevents its aggregation causing greater reduction performance. |
متن مقاله | Methods: In this study, nanozero-valent iron (nZVI) based trimetallic nanoparticle supported on GO was
synthesized [1, 2]. The reduction of tartrazine and sunset yellow by the proposed nanocatalyst was
examined using the batch experiments technique and all involved parameters affecting the reduction
led and optimized by
response surface methodology.
Results: The synthesized GO@Fe-Cu-Ag trimetallic particles were characterized by TEM, FT-IR, XRD,
SEM, EDS and BET. The results showed that the nZVI trimetallic was successfully synthesized and
immobilized on GO. The optimum conditions for reduced sunset yellow and tatrazine dyes are
respectively: pH= 5.5 and 3, dose of nanocomposite= 4 and 4 mg mL-1, time= 30 and 26 min, initial dyes
concentration= 100 and 100 ppm , the kinetic data for nanocatalyst were fitted well with the pseudosecond
order model. |
نتیجه مقاله | The experimental results of the present research indicated that the presence of GO as support
could decrease the aggregation of nZVI and increase it's adsorption and reactivity. Furthermore, high
reactivity of Fe0-based trimetals was mainly attributed to the plating order of transition metals (i.e., Cu
and Ag). Theory is that the trimetallic structure of Fe-Cu-Ag could improve the electron transport and
create active sites with high electron density at the surface (Ag layer) that could enhance the generation of
surface-bonded atomic hydrogen ([H]abs) or the direct reduction of pollutant. GO@Fe-Cu-Ag trimetallic
system would be a promising process for the removal of the dyes from food industrial wastewater. |
