Mesostructured silica nanoparticles supported electrosynthesized goethite in cationic surfactant for photodegradation of 2–chlorophenol

2–chlorophenol (2–CP) which had been widely used in industry and daily life is a priority toxic pollutant that has caused considerable damage to the aquatic ecosystem and human health. Due to this reason, continuing study on efficient catalyst for degradation of this recalcitrant pollutant has been...

Due to this reason, continuing study on efficient catalyst for degradation of this recalcitrant pollutant has been conducted in these recent years. In this study, goethite (α–FeOOH) was synthesized by an electrochemical method in a cationic surfactant solution and subsequent impregnation with mesostructured silica nanoparticles (MSN) gave α FeOOH/MSN.

The performance of the catalysts were tested on the photodegradation of the 2–CP in a batch reactor under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the α FeOOH were able to inhibit electron–hole recombination to give complete degradation of 50 mg L−1 2–CP at pH 5 when using 0.03 g L−1 catalyst and 0.156 mM of H2O2. In contrast, it was found that by introducing the α–FeOOH to the MSN support, sequential silica removal in the MSN framework and isomorphous substitution of Fe ion was occurred, which able to effectively degrade the 2–CP with degradation percentage of 92.2, 79.3, 73.1, and 14.2%, with the loading of α–FeOOH in the following order: 10 wt% > 15 wt% > 5 wt% > MSN, respectively.

The kinetic studies of both catalysts illustrated that surface reaction was the controlling step of the process.
