Abstract:

A photooxidative system for degradation of organic dye pollutant RhB as an objective compound was reported under visible irradiation(λ>450 nm) by using Fe3+/H2O2as the Fenton reagent. It was found that, in the system with pH<3.0, visible light irradiation significantly accelerates the degradation process by photosensitive effect. After 160 min the RhB was mineralized with a yield of 71.8%. Bromocresol green reaction spectrophotometrically, spin-trapping electron paramagnetic resonance, UV-Vis spectroscopy, IR and total organic carbon(TOC) measurements were used to detect the photoreaction process. The photocatalytic degradation pathway mainly involves the formation of ·OH and carboxylie acids are the main intermediate products. H2O2 of Fe3+/H2O2/RhB system was utilized lowlier than that of supermolecular metal/organie complexes or supported catalysts system.
