Nanoparticle-assisted photo-Fenton reaction for photo-decomposition of humic acid

Abstract: We report here the synthesis of CuO-doped ZnO composite nanomaterials (NMs) by chemical route and demonstrated for the first time that these NMs are efficient catalysts for H 2 O 2-assisted photo-decomposition (photoFenton type catalyst) of humic acid, a natural pollutant of surface water by solar irradiation. This has been explained by faster electron transfer to OH radical at the p-n heterojunction of this composite catalyst. Application of this composite catalyst in decomposing humus substances of local pon… Show more

“…The sharp absorption in the wavelength at 334 nm clarified the basic band absorption of ZnO/CuO crystals because of the electron transitions from the valence band to the conduction band (O2p-3d) associated with the surface plasmon resonance phenomena. In a nanostructure's aspect, the electronic states become completely discrete, as per atoms and molecules (Banik and Basumallick, 2017).…”

“…Inamuddin et al also recommended the use of organic-inorganic composite exchanger (Mohammad and Inamuddin (2015), Inamuddin (2010) for water purification. Banik and Basumallick 2017; Basumallick and Santra 2017) reported a cost-effective method of removal of humic acid (HA) from surface water using ZnO nanoparticles and sun light using photo-Fenton-type reaction. Santra and Basumallick Banik and Basumallick (2017), Basumallick and Santra (2017) designed a fluorescence sensor for the detection of ppm level HA in surface water.…”
