Abstract | ||||
PHOTO-FENTON CATALYSTS Fe3O4/TiO2 coated with a co-polymer (PVA/PAAc) to improve their capabilities of pollutant degradation has been investigated. Core-shell nanocomposites catalyst [(Fe3O4/PAAc/ PVA)/TiO2]/PAAc with average diameters of 50-60 nm was carried out by gamma irradiation. Aqueous solution (1% w/v) of 25 % PVA/ 75% PAAc was polymerized at low irradiation doses 1.66 kGy, then treated with Fe2+ / Fe3+ salts. Ammonia solution was added to obtain a precipitation of 20 nm Fe3O4/PVA/PAAc. The Photo-Fenton catalysts comprising Fe3O4 nanoparticles as a core and (PVA/PAAc) as a shell and TiO2 introduced, which later develop into a uniform polymer layer of PAAc. The polymer resembles a stabilizer for particles in nanosize without aggregation. The degradation of the Remazol Red dye (RR) dissolved in aqueous solutions was investigated using modified reactor contain ultra violet visible (UV-VIS) sources under the influence of 300 Gauss alternative magnetic field (M.F). | ||||
