摘要
Hydrogel nanocomposite as a novel porous macromolecular provides potential applications in many different fields. In this paper, Co3O4/g-C3N4/multi wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposites were stabilized in resorcinol formaldehyde hydrogel for a highly efficient removal of Rhodamine B from aqueous solution. Hydrogel, Co3O4 in hydrogel, g-C3N4 in hydrogel, Co3O4/g-C3N4 in hydrogel and Co3O4/g-C3N4/MWCNT in hydrogel were synthesized and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET, BJH, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X ray (EDX). BET results showed that the presence of nanomaterials in synthesis steps of hydrogel, increase specific surface area about 22.5-30 times. DRS results confirmed that the stabilization of g-C3N4 and Co3O4 nanoparticles in hydrogel effectively shifted absorption edge to longer wavelength (red shift). The aim of this study is to eliminate Rhodamine B from solution by semiconducting materials which stabilized in hydrogel. Adsorption and synergistic performance of each sample in removal of 3ppm solution of Rhodamine B were evaluated by UV-Vis spectrophotometry in dark and under visible light irradiation, respectively. The best removal performance (87%) was obtained by Co3O4/g-C3N4/MWCNT nanocomposites stabilized in hydrogel in 120min under visible light irradiation. All of the samples follow first order kinetic model in removal of Rhodamine B. This study provides new insights into the stabilization of catalysts in hydrogel as a porous material and facilitates their application in the synergistic removal of dye in the field of water treatment.
