The photocatalytic degradation of phenol and chlorophenol onto bismuth vanadate powder prepared by the solvothermal method

Bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) powder was prepared by the solvothermal method. Bismuth nitrate and ammonium vanadate were used as the starting precursors with mole ratio of 1:1. The mixed solution was heated in the solvot hermal vessel at 100°C for 2-6 h. The phase of BiVO 4 powder was characterized by...

Description
Summary:Bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) powder was prepared by the solvothermal method. Bismuth nitrate and ammonium vanadate were used as the starting precursors with mole ratio of 1:1. The mixed solution was heated in the solvot hermal vessel at 100°C for 2-6 h. The phase of BiVO 4 powder was characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The morphology and chemical composition of BiVO 4 powder were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDXS). The surface area of BiVO 4 powder was determined by Brunauer, Emmett and Teller analyzer (BET). The photocatalytic degradation of phenol and chlorophenol onto BiVO 4 powder was studied and determined by gas chromatograph (GC). © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
