Effects of Substituted Transition Metals (Me:Cr³⁺, Mn³⁺, Fe³⁺ and Mo) on the Fe²⁺/Modified Silica in the Oxidative Degradation of Reactive Black 5

Abstract:

The Fe²⁺/modified silica catalysts have been substituted with four types of transition metals such as Fe³⁺, Cr³⁺, Mn³⁺ and Mo. The catalytic activity of these catalysts has been tested for the oxidative degradation of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) at 30°C and pH 4.5. The substituted Fe²⁺/modified silica with Fe³⁺ (Fe²⁺:Fe³⁺/ m-SiO₂) exhibited the highest catalytic performance compared to others transition metals by degrading the RB5 nearly to 95%. This catalyst possessed on high stability by maintaining its performance during the three successive cycles of reaction. These findings can be ascribed to the plausible enhancement in the formation of hydroxyl radicals (HO^●) due to the effective redox between Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺
