We report magnetically-separable, reusable, green-synthesized Fe3O4/rGO/ZnO, as heterogeneous catalyst for photo-Fenton degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous solution under certain treatments. Fe3O4 nanoparticles was green-synthesized using Moringa oleifera leaf extract, while rGO was synthesized utilizing Amaranthus viridis leaf extract. Fe3O4/rGO was composited under sonication treatment. Afterwards, Fe3O4/rGO was doped with ZnO with various concentration of ZnO. X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction showed that Fe3O4 and ZnO had spinel cubic and hexagonal structure, respectively; another phase appeared as Fe2O3 spinel cubic structure. Crystallite size was decreased as the ZnO concentration increased. Morphology image showed almost spherical, non-uniform, and slightly dispersed particle under agglomerated condition, attaching to rGO sheets. The particle size of Fe3O4, Fe3O4/rGO, and Fe3O4/rGO/ZnO is 14.3; 14.1; and 10.4 nm, respectively. Fourier-transform infrared spectra showed metallic functional groups, such as Fe-O and Zn–O at 562–589 and 462–478 cm−1 also suggests nanocomposite formation. However, blue-shift absorption and band gap widening were observed with ZnO addition. Raman spectroscopy revealed the formation as-synthesized GO and rGO. Vibrating sample magnetometer showed that green-synthesized Fe3O4/rGO/ZnO exhibited superparamagnetic properties. Removal efficiency of photodegradation methylene blue was optimal for green-synthesized Fe3O4/rGO/ZnO under sonication treatment, reached 100 % degradation within 180 min for uptake every 30 min. Photodegradation was also analyzed using Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model, resulting rate constant of 24.7 × 10−3 min−1 and half-life time of 28.1 min at optimum treatment. Reusability of photocatalytic activity after 3 cycles showed only a tiny drop in catalytic efficiency. Meanwhile, it possesses high stability in catalytic activity and structure. The green-synthesized Fe3O4/rGO/ZnO potential as an environmentally friendly reusable photocatalyst for wastewater degradation. |
