Description
Summary:Iron oxide and bismuth oxide powder are synthesized by the liquid phase precipitation method. Then a certain proportion of iron oxide, bismuth oxide and sodium chloride are mixed and ground to prepare the bismuth ferrite precursor by the molten salt method. The bismuth ferrite precursors are calcined at different temperatures to obtain bismuth ferrite photocatalyst. By studying the degradation performance of bismuth oxide, iron oxide and bismuth ferrite photocatalysts for methyl orange dyes, the best conditions for the degradation of methyl orange dyes by bismuth ferrite photocatalysts are found. The experimental results show that the bismuth ferrite prepared by calcining at 750°C has the best degradation. Compared with a single oxide, the photocatalytic performance of bismuth ferrite is better.
