Optimization of system parameters and kinetic study of photocatalytic degradation of toxic acid blue 25 dye by Ag3PO4@RGO nanocomposite
Source abstract
Abstract
A heterostructure nanocomposite of Ag3PO4 grafted onto reduced graphene oxide at different weight percentages is synthesised by sol-gel-hydrothermal method and characterised by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron, diffuse reflectance, Raman, Fourier transform infrared, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The material is used for adsorption and photodegradation of Acid Blue 25 dye in aqueous solution; both are influenced by catalyst load, initial dye concentration, and solution pH. Adsorption follows pseudo first-order kinetics, which can be best fitted with the Lagergren pseudo first-order kinetic model and photocatalytic degradation, a modified Langmuir–Hinshelwood model. Photocatalytic performance of Ag3PO4 is greatly improved when embedded in reduced graphene oxide which is appertained to the small sized, well-dispersed Ag3PO4 particles, high adsorption, and low e+–h− pair recombination.
