Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The relationship between the structure and the visible light-activated photocatalytic ability of iron-containing aluminosilicate glasses were investigated by means of 57Fe-Mossbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and UV-visible light absorption spectroscopy (UV-VIS). It was revealed that heat-treated 15Na2O・15CaO・11Al2O3・19SiO2・40Fe2O3 glass showed the largest rate constant for methylene blue(MB) decomposition under the visible-light irradiation due to precipitation of both regular and irregular hematites. A comparable decrease in MB was observed when it was reacted with hematite nanoparticle dispersed silicate glass, suggesting that the photocatalytic activity will be enhanced by incorporating nanoparticles into aluminosilicate. These results proves that the visible-light activated photocalaysts can be prepared by ubiquitous elements.
