Abstract
The relationship between local structure and visible-light activated photocatalytic effect of simulated domestic waste slag glass–ceramics (R-NaWSFe) was investigated. The largest pseudo-first-order rate constant of 9.75 × 10−3 min−1 was estimated for methylene blue decomposition test under the visible-light irradiation using R-NaWSFe with additional 30 mass% of Fe2O3 heat-treated at 900 °C for 100 min. The reason for the high photoactivity of this sample was mainly due to nanoparticles of CaFe2O4 and α-Fe2O3 confirmed by the Mossbauer spectrum measured at 77 K. It is concluded that the nanoparticles of magnetic components in silica are essential for exhibiting visible-light activated catalytic effect.
