Nanostructure Design and Catalytic Performance of Mo/ZnAl-LDH in Cationic Orchid X-BL Removal

Abstract

The nanostructure of ZnAl-layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH) was designed to promote the catalytic performance of Mo-based ZnAl-LDH (Mo/ZnAl-LDH) catalysts, in a catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) process, under room temperature and pressure, in degradation of dye wastewater. Four most commonly used preparation methods, traditional precipitation (TP), hydrothermal synthesis (HS), sol-gel (SG), and urea co-precipitation (UC) were employed to prepare the ZnAl-LDH. The resulting Mo/ZnAl-LDH samples were contrasted through surface area, crystal structure, chemical state, and morphology. The degradation of cationic orchid X-BL, under room temperature and pressure, was developed to determine the catalytic activity of these Mo/ZnAl-LDH samples. The results showed that the nanostructure of ZnAl-LDH, prepared by HS, enhanced the adhesion of the catalytic active component, thus Mo/ZnAl-LDH had the highest catalytic activity of 84.2% color removal efficiency and 73.9% total organic carbon removal efficiency. Specific Mo species, such as Na2Mo2O7, Mo dispersion, and O2− ions were proved to be related with catalytic performance. These findings preliminarily clarified that LDHs preparation methods make a difference in the performance of Mo/LDHs.

Recent Advances in LDH/g-C3N4 Heterojunction Photocatalysts for Organic Pollutant Removal

“…The fundamental benefit of this technology is the ease with which a crystalline product can be produced via a straightforward hydrothermal procedure. Controlling the reaction conditions also makes it easy to develop the morphology and structure of materials [63]. The process of hydrothermal oxidation, reduction, precipitation, breakdown, polymerization, and so forth are further subcategories of the hydrothermal method depending on the type of reaction that occurs.…”
