Solutions containing equal concentrations of each metal ion pair (Zn/Fe, Co/Fe, Ni/Fe) were simultaneously added to the zeolite NaY using the ion-exchange method. The resulting bimetallic-zeolites were used as heterogeneous catalysts for the Fenton-like reaction for azorubine dye degradation. The optimization of the reaction parameters was assessed using the Box-Behnken design by studying the influence of H2O2 ...
Dye compounds are becoming a problematic class of pollutants for the environment, so it is important to develop stable catalysts for their elimination. First, several studies were performed with different Y zeolites (NaY, (NH4)Y and USY) in order to select the best support for the preparation of the bimetallic catalysts. In particular, NaY zeolite was used as the support for Fe, Cu and Mn metals to prepare mono...
[Excerpt] Textile dyes are growing to be a problematic class of pollutants to the environment. The disposal of dyes in water resources has bad aesthetic and health effects, since most of them are carcinogenic and mutagenic [1,2], so it is important to remove them from the environment. Effective and economic treatment by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has been attracted great and continuous interest for the...
