Abstract
- Using Dy<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>, C<subscript>4</subscript>H<subscript>6</subscript>CoO<subscript>4</subscript>·4H<subscript>2</subscript>O, C<subscript>6</subscript>H<subscript>8</subscript>O<subscript>7</subscript>·H<subscript>2</subscript>O and HNO<subscript>3</subscript> as the main raw materials, DyCoO<subscript>3</subscript> was successfully prepared by sol-gel method. The DyCoO<subscript>3</subscript> were characterized by TG-DSC, XRD, SEM and FT-IR. Using azo dye methyl orange solution as simulated wastewater, the degradation activity of DyCoO<subscript>3</subscript> under UV irradiation was studied by changing the synthesis temperature and illumination time. The results show that the pure DyCoO<subscript>3</subscript> can be prepared from 750 °C to 1000 °C, DyCoO<subscript>3</subscript> particles were relatively uniform with average grain size of 2–3 μm. The photocatalytic activity of DyCoO<subscript>3</subscript> sample calcined at 800 °C was the best. When DyCoO<subscript>3</subscript> photocatalytic degradation of 10 mg/L methyl orange for 60 min, the degradation rate was close to 100%. This shows that DyCoO<subscript>3</subscript> is a new type of photocatalyst with high efficiency, which lays a foundation for the application of wastewater treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
