What is Magnetically separable WO3/CuFe2O4 composite for visible light induced photoreduction of Cr(VI) about?
The introduction of hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) through water sources can cause serious damage to humans and other organisms. Hence, the removal of toxic Cr(VI) ions from the water environment is of great importance in the field of wastewater treatment. In this study, the Cr(VI) removal was performed through the photoreduction technique. Because of its tunable optical band gap, tungsten oxide (WO 3 ), which can be driven by the visible light, was selected as the photocatalyst. To enhance the effective separation of the photoinduced charge carriers, WO 3 was coupled with a magnetic semiconductor, copper ferrite (CuFe 2 O 4 ). A coprecipitation technique was used to synthesize WO 3 in nanoparticle form and the as-prepared WO 3 nanoparticles were used to prepare WO 3 /CuFe 2 O 4 composites through an auto-combustion sol-gel technique. When WO 3 was coupled with CuFe 2 O 4 , the Cr(VI) photoreduction efficiency was enhanced from 23.9% to 60.0% within 120 min of visible light irradiation. The Cr(VI) photoreduction performance of the WO 3 /CuFe 2 O 4 composite was studied under various conditions also. Within this scope, the initial pH, ion concentration and photocatalyst concentration of
