摘要
Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) with different morphologies were synthesized via hydrothermal treatment of ferric acetylacetonate in deionized water, simply by changing the hydrothermal temperature and time. Their photocatalytic performance was assessed based on the photocatalytic reduction of aqueous Cr(VI) under visible-light. It was found that the alpha-Fe2O3 nanorods synthesized at 175 degrees C for 2 h (Fe2O3-175 degrees C/2 h) had better photocatalytic activity than the other products. Moreover, Fe2O3-175 degrees C/2 h also demonstrated good photocatalytic reusability and stability. The reasons underlying the photocatalytic activity difference of different morphologies of alpha-Fe2O3 were proposed, by comparing their specific surface area, photoabsorption capability, and photogenerated charge transfer and separation efficiency. Various factors influencing the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) by Fe2O3175 degrees C/2 h were also investigated. Finally, Fe2O3-175 degrees C/2 h was tested for photocatalytic treatment of the diluted black chromium electroplating solution under visible-light, and a good treatment result was obtained. Hence, alpha-Fe2O3 nanorods have great potential for photocatalytic treatment of Cr(VI) wastewater.
