The present study deals with the synthesis of mesoporous Fe/KIT-6 and catalyst has been successfully tested for the heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of organic dye solutions under direct sun light. The physico-chemical properties of the catalyst were analyzed by XRD, N2 sorption studies, SEM and TEM. From the results we infer that the catalyst reveal excellent catalytic property for 97% removal of direct blue 71 within 75 mins, which could be attributed to the adsorptive power of Fe/KIT-6. With the advantages of rapid degradation and efficient magnetic separation, the synthesized material could gain a potential application in wastewater treatment and organic pollutant.

Abstract


The present study deals with the synthesis of mesoporous Fe/KIT-6 and catalyst has been successfully tested for the heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of organic dye solutions under direct sun light. The physico-chemical properties of the catalyst were analyzed by XRD, N2 sorption studies, SEM and TEM. From the results we infer that the catalyst reveal excellent catalytic property for 97% removal of direct blue 71 within 75 mins, which could be attributed to the adsorptive power of Fe/KIT-6. With the advantages of rapid degradation and efficient magnetic separation, the synthesized material could gain a potential application in wastewater treatment and organic pollutant.
