Synthesis and characterization of anionic/nonionic surfactant-interceded iron-doped TiO{sub 2} to enhance sorbent/photo-catalytic properties
We investigated the synthesis, characterization, and application of surfactant-interceded Fe nanoparticle-doped TiO{sub 2} (TiO{sub 2}/Fe-S1 and TiO{sub 2}/Fe-S2) that were used as adsorbents and photo-catalysts for the removal of As(V) ions from aqueous media. Two types of surfactant (anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate), S1 and non-ionic (Triton X-100), S2) were used to obtain the separation and mono-dispersion of Fe(III) ions in the reaction solution. The nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV–vis, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) and elemental mapping analysis before and after As(V) removal. The Langmuir capacities (q{sub e}, mg/g) of the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Triton X-100 interceded nanocomposites (TiO{sub 2}/Fe-S1 and TiO{sub 2}/Fe-S2, respectively) for arsenic removal were determined to be 65.79 and 50.76 mg/g, respectively, in aqueous media with As(V) concentration ranges of 0–10 mg/L at pH 6.5. - Highlights: • Fe(III) doped TiO{sub 2} nanocomposite was prepared with surfactant. • Anionic surfactant SDS enhanced the transfer of Fe(III) ions to TiO{sub 2}. • Surfactant-interceded nanocomposite enhanced As(V) removal. • Arsenic removal efficiency was as follows: dark phase>visible phase>UV region.
