Advanced Materials with Photocatalytic Properties and Magnetic Core for Environmental Applications

Abstract:

The paper had as purpose the fabrication and characterization of magnetic nanoparticles covered with TiO₂ for applications in environmental field. The research consisted in investigating the properties of magnetic iron nanooxides, synthesized from ferric and ferrous chloride and then covered with TiO₂, with minimum costs and high efficiency in industrial wastewater treatment. The iron nanoparticles were obtained by co-precipitation method and the titan dioxide was obtained by sol-gel method. After covering the nanoparticles with TiO₂, the samples were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
