Synthesis of titanates for photomineralization of industrial wastewater and organic pollutants

Abstract

In the current study, the tunnel-type titanate nanomaterial (Na2Ti3O7, NaTO) was converted into PdTi3O7 (PdTO) through the ultrasonication-assisted ion-exchange method. The Ag nanoparticles were then deposited on the surface...

Electrocatalytic and photocatalytic activity of CuTiO3 perovskites for complete degradation of methylene blue under sunlight irradiation

“…This figure shows that the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model's pseudo-first-order kinetics, which has a linear connection between −ln( C o / C ) vs. time t (min), regulates the photocatalytic degradation of the organic dye MB. 29,30 The photocatalytic process can be represented as:−ln( C o / C ) = kt where C o represents the starting MB concentration, C represents the MB concentration at time t , and k represents the value given for the degradation rate constant. The slope of the plot was used for calculating the value of ‘ k ’.…”
