Abstract

Nano Fe-BTC materials were successfully synthesized by mechanical chemical grinding method. Samples were characterized by X-ray difraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), N2 adsorption–desorption, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). SEM image of Fe-BTC-60 showed the particle size of 40–60 nm. Fe-BTC nanocomposites were tested for the photocatalytic degradation of reactive yellow 145 (RY-145) in aqueous solution. Fe-BTC composites exhibited high photocatalytic activity. Thus, at pH of 3 and high initial concentration of 100 mg RY-145/L, removal efficiency reached the value of 97.45% after 90 min of reaction.
