Development of Sustainable Heterogeneous Catalysts for the Photocatalytic Treatment of Effluents
The inadequate discharge of effluents from different sources without prior treatment can impact the characteristics of soil and water, which reflect serious environmental problems. Advanced oxidative processes (AOP) appear as a viable alternative for environmental remediation, including wastewater treatment. Herein, α-MoO3 and α-Fe2O3 semiconductors were synthesized at low temperature by a Pechini-based method and then applied in photocatalysis. The catalytic efficiency was performed under visible light toward the degradation of an organic persistent pollutant (Rhodamine B dye, RhB), commonly present in industries wastewater. The results indicated that the synthesized α-MoO3 or α-Fe2O3 photocatalysts presented a pronounced activity and promoted an efficient RhB degradation after 15 min of reaction. α-MoO3 had a degradation efficiency of 93% and 98%, while α-Fe2O3 showed 67% and 100% RhB degradation without and with the addition of H2O2, respectively. These results suggest that the synthesized oxides have high oxi-reductive capacity, which can be used for a fast and effective photodegradation of RhB and other organic persistent pollutants to minimize environmental impacts.
