Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, perovskite oxide SrFe0.5Co0.5O3-δ has been synthesized by citric acid method. The structures and the morphology of material were analyzed by XRD and SEM respectively. Using SrFe0.5Co0.5O3-δ as photocatalyst, the photocatalytic activity of the degrading Congo red solution was investigated. The effect factors, such as irradiation time, catalyst dose, initial concentration of Congo red solution, pH value on the photocatalytic activity were also explored systematically. The results indicated that the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of Congo red was up to 97.96% in 100mL 5mg/L Congo red solution containing 0.30g catalyst for irradiation time of 20 min.
