Photocatalytic degradation of reactive yellow 145 dye from aqueous solutions using Cadmium selenide/bismuth molybdate nanocomposite
摘要
In the research, the Cadmium selenide /bismuth molybdate (CdSe/ Bi2MoO6) nanocomposite was successfully prepared using a hydrothermal method and characterized. The effect of irradiation time, pH, initial RY145 concentration, and nanocomposite dosage on the removal performance of RY145 was investigated, and the results revealed that CdSe/Bi2MoO6 nanocomposite improved the photocatalytic degradation of reactive yellow 145(RY145) until 86% in the following conditions: [RY 145]0 = 20 mg/L, nanocomposite dosage = 200 mg/L, pH = 2; Vis. Light = 300 W; time = 60 min. Also, it was found that hydroxyl radicals (°OH) are the major scavenging agent in RY145 degradation and CdSe/Bi2MoO6 nanocomposite has excellent stability after 5 cycles. Ultimately, the CdSe/Bi2MoO6 nanocomposite can be used as a novel nanocomposite with a high potential for removing RY145 from aqueous solutions.
