Abstract

Nanomaterials have been used in catalytic degradation of organic pollutants also act as catalysts in for many years. Due to excellent catalytic performances of metal-based nanoparticles, these materials have been used extensively in various hybrid catalyst synthesis. The main subject of this study, heterogeneous catalysis is a low cost and multi-purpose process for many pollutants. Catalytic degradation of organic pollutants such as; 2-Nitrophenol, Quinolin Yellow and Rhodamine B was investigated by using Ni, Co, Pd nanoparticles modified SiO2 based nanomaterials. The co-doping effect on the prepared nanomaterials has been investigated with different characterization methods in terms of structural and morphological features: scanning electron microscopy, UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and foruier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The highest catalytic reduction efficiencies (97.6% and 97.5%) for 2-nitrophenol and Rhodamine B was obtained by Pd-PEG-AP@SiO2 respectively. The synthesized Co-PEG-AP@SiO2 illustrated higher catalytic reduction efficiency for Quinolin Yellow (70.1%) at the end of 60s. The prepared M-PEG-AP@SiO2 nanomaterial (M: Pd,Co,Ni) can be able to utilized degradation of organic contaminants effectively.
