Degradasi Methylene Blue Dengan Metode Fotofenton Menggunakan Znfe2o4 Sebagai Katalis
In the current era, the world is witnessing a social economic revolution from various types of industries. In Indonesia, the textile industry is growing rapidly along with population growth. However, industrial progress has an impact that is generated in the form of textile waste. One of them is methylene blue, which is a waste that is difficult to degrade by the environment. The AOP (Advanced Oxidation Process) process is an alternative technique used to remove dyes from water. Photofenton is a combination of a photochemical process and a catalyst with the addition of H2O2 can degrade harmful organic pollutants. This research uses ZnFe2O4 as a catalyst, ZnFe2O4 is one of the spinel ferrite nanoparticles with a narrow band gap (1.9 eV) and is a potential material in photocatalytic processes under visible light. ZnFe2O4 was synthesized using the solvothermal auto-clave method, ZnCl2 and FeCl3.6H2O were dissolved in ethylene glycol, stirred while adding ammonia to pH 8, after drying, it was calcined in a tube furnace. The physical properties of the ZnFe2O4 catalyst were characterized using an Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyzer. The peaks of 507 cm-1, 720 cm-1 and 905 cm-1 indicate the presence of Fe-O, Zn-O and Zn-OH functional groups. Demonstrated success in synthesizing ZnFe2O4 catalyst. ZnFe2O4 catalyst can degrade methylene blue with an effectiveness of 96.96% at a concentration of 5 ppm with the photofenton method.
