Preparation of CeO2 with Different Morphologies and Its Application to Catalytic Ozonation of Aqueous Lemon Yellow Solutions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Taking Ce (NO3)3•6H2O as cerium source, CeO2 nanosheets, CeO2 nanorods and CeO2 nanotubes were prepared using hydrothemal process. Characterization of chemical structure and surface properties for these materials was carried out and their efficacy in the catalytic ozonation degradation of wastewater was investigated. The results showed that the surface morphology and reaction conditions played great role in the removal of organic compounds. It was found that the CeO2 nanotubes showed superior catalytic activity. When 0.5 g of CeO2 nanotubes and 15 mg/min of ozone were applied in catalytic ozonation, the mineralization rate reached 97% after 2 h treatment for 1 L of model wastewater containing lemon yellow with 100 mg/L TOC.
