Synthesis of CeO2 and its application for treating organic dyes in water
Abstract
The CeO 2 material was synthesized using two gelling agents: tartaric acid (A) and polyvinyl alcohol (P) through the combustion method. DTA-TGA, XRD, BET, and SEM methods were employed to analyze the characteristics of the synthesized material. The synthesized materials, prepared under optimal conditions, were utilized for the treatment of methylene blue (MB) in water. The efficiency achieved nearly 80 % at pH4 with an input concentration of the pollutant at 10 ppm and a catalyst concentration of 1 g/L .
