Abstract
- In this work, ternary metal oxide composite CuO/Fe 2 O 3 /ZnO was synthesized through sol-gel method and further modified with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to form a novel and effective β-CD-CuO/Fe 2 O 3 /ZnO catalyst for the organic pollutants adsorption and degradation. Both catalysts were characterized by P-XRD, SEM, EDX, DRS, PL, DTA/TGA and FT-IR. The adsorption and photocatalytic activity of the above synthesized catalyst were carried out at neutral pH and 1 g/L catalysts dosage for the different types of water pollutants. β-CD-CuO/Fe 2 O 3 /ZnO achieved degradation efficiency as 89.3% in 160 min (RhB), 93.2% in 160 min (Gunner 500), 84.1% in 200 min (Cefixime), and 81.5% in 180 min (p -NP). It was also observed that presence of β-CD enhanced the adsorption/degradation efficiency. Kinetics results followed to the pseudo first order (PSO) with the k 1 values as 10.40 × 10−3min−1, 0.17 × 10−3min−1, 4.94 × 10−3min−1 and 1.83 × 10−3min−1 for RhB, Gunner 500, Cefixime and p -NP respectively. These photocatalysts exhibit high efficiency in a short reaction time, and good reusability for real wastewater application. • Synthesize a ternary metal oxide of CuO/Fe 2 O 3 /ZnO by sol-gel method. • Ternary metal oxide combinded with β-CD. • Synthesized materials were characterized by using different characterization techniques. • Photocatalytic activity of catalyst wass investigated by adsorption and degradation of Rhodamine Blue, Gunner 500, Cefixime and p -NP. • Reaction rate kinetics, order, and scavanager study was performed.
