Abstract
AbstractHerein, Ag/TiO2/Nylon 6/PMMA catalyst system was developed, and its photocatalytic properties were fully analyzed. XRD, SEM, EDS, and PL analyses were carried out to get information on crystal structure, micromorphology, elemental composition, and band gap energy. Photocatalytic degradation was followed by UV–vis spectrophotometry. The band gap of the catalyst was found to be between 2.51 and 3.1 eV. Up to 80% degradation was achieved under UV light irradiation. No bulk adsorption was observed, which means that the reaction was completely carried by the photocatalytic process. pH 3 value was determined to be suitable for a high rate. Reaction kinetic was determined to be matched with the first-order rate law. The newly developed polymer blend matrix system here may have broad application prospects in the remediation of water resources.
