Microwave-assisted hydrothermal process for the preparation of SnO from an ammoniacal Sn6O4(OH)4 suspension

Abstract

SnO powder with a specific surface area of 2 m 2 /g has been prepared by microwave assisted hydrothermal processing of an ammoniacal Sn 6 O 4 (OH) 4 suspension. We have examined the effect of pressure rise rate in a reaction mixture on the surface morphology and photocatalytic activity of SnO. Raising the pres sure has been shown to reduce the SnO synthesis time, without influencing the surface morphology of SnO or its photocatalytic activity for methyl orange photodegradation.

Hollow Spherical Hierarchical MoO3/SiO2–TiO2 Structures for Photocatalytic Decomposition of Organic Pollutant in Water

“…The study of the photocatalytic activity of the samples was carried out on a model reaction of photodegradation of the dye methylene blue (MB) according to the method [29]. The sample of the catalyst (0.12 g) was placed into quartz ask with 42 ml of MB aqueous solution with concentration of 5 mg/L.…”
