Abstract
ABSTRACT In the present work, ZnMoO4/Ag2WO4 nanocomposite was synthesized via facile hydrothermal and chemical precipitation method for determination of photocatalytic performance on organic contaminants such as methylene blue and trimethoprim. The synthesized nano-photocatalyst was characterized using various instrumental techniques. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and trimethoprim by the samples was realized under UV light irradiation. The obtained results demonstrated that photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue by ZnMoO4/Ag2WO4 was 99.6% in 30 min. The bare ZnMoO4 produced 57.8% and Ag2WO4 produced 76.7% photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in 60 min. The synthesized ZnMoO4/Ag2WO4 nanocomposite, about which there is little information on remediation of organic pollutants, had possessed the outstanding photocatalytic degradation performance on methylene blue and trimethoprim due to pseudo first order kinetic.
