Photocatalytic Bactericidal Performance of LaFeO3 under Solar Light: Kinetics, Spectroscopic and Mechanistic Evaluation

Abstract: Lanthanum orthoferrites are a versatile class of catalysts. Here, the photocatalytic bactericidal performance of LaFeO3 (LF) to inactivate pathogenic microorganisms, i.e., Escherichia coli (E. coli), in water under simulated solar irradiation conditions was investigated. Various competing and contributing factors were covered to visualize the reaction medium consisting of E. coli K12 cells, organic sub-fractions formed by cell destruction, and LF surface. LF solar photocatalytic inactivation (SPCI) kinetics re… Show more

“…In this respect, two complementary studies were presented by Birben and colleagues covering the effect of NOM analog compounds [2,3]. Besides sole E. coli inactivation kinetics, characterization of the released organic matter was also presented by UV-vis, fluorescence, and FTIR spectroscopic techniques as well as mineralization extents.…”
