Keywords:
catalytic degradation, 4-Nitrophenol, Zero-valent iron (ZVI), bimetallic nanocatalyst (Fe: Ni nano-composite)Abstract
The aim of the present study is focus on the activity of semiconductor materials on the degradation of 4-Nitrophenol. Zero-valent iron (ZVI) is a valuable material for environmental remediation, because of its safeness, large availability, and inexpensiveness. Moreover, its reactivity can be improved by the addition of nanoparticles of other elements such as noble metals. The synthesized pure nano Fe and Ni were characterized using UV/Visible spectrophotometer. In the present work catalytic degradation of 4-Nitrophenol was carried out using semiconductor couple Fe/Ni under UV irradiation. The semiconductor couple of Iron (Fe) & Nickel (Ni) were used as nanocatalyst for the study. UV-Vis spectroscopic technique has been used for studying the catalytic degradation of 4-Nitrophenol. Complete degradation of 4-Nitrophenol was achieved for 90min of irradiation in presence of Fe/Ni nanocomposite.
