Abstract:This study describes the application of ZnO commercial oxide and ZnO/ZnFe 2 O 4 mixed oxides to reduce the mercury ion (Hg 2+) in the aqueous phase. The catalysts synthesized were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, adsorption and desorption of N 2 , scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The heterogeneous photocatalysis process was studied in synthetic effluent treatment containing mercury chlori… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
