Pyrazinamide photodegradation on NiWO4-palygorskite nanocomposites under polychromatic irradiation
In this work, antibiotic pyrazinamide (PZA) photodegradation on palygorskite (Pal), NiWO 4 crystals, and NiWO 4 -Pal (2, 6, and 10%) nanocomposites was evaluated under polychromatic irradiation. In the characterization of the samples, XRD patterns displayed good crystallinity for NiWO 4 crystals and...

Summary: | In this work, antibiotic pyrazinamide (PZA) photodegradation on palygorskite (Pal), NiWO
4
crystals, and NiWO
4
-Pal (2, 6, and 10%) nanocomposites was evaluated under polychromatic irradiation. In the characterization of the samples, XRD patterns displayed good crystallinity for NiWO
4
crystals and nanocomposites. In addition, the diffractograms were used in the Rietveld refinement for phase indexing, revealing a wolframite-type monoclinic structure with the space group P2/c. The active vibrational modes related to the characteristic groups of the samples were identified using Raman and FTIR spectroscopy. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra revealed that NiWO
4
and NiWO
4
-Pal (2%) nanocomposite have the highest electron-hole pair recombination rate, and the contribution of the green component in the NiWO
4
-Pal (2%) nanocomposite indicates a greater contribution of deep energy levels to the PL profile. DRS in the UV-visible region indicated that NiWO
4
crystals have indirect band-gap energy (E
gap
) 2.64 eV; NiWO
4
-Pal (2, 6, and 10%) nanocomposites have 2.62, 2.58, and 2.59 eV, respectively; and Pal has 2.83 eV. The catalytic tests showed that the NiWO
4
-Pal (2%) nanocomposite samples, under polychromatic radiation, exhibit greater efficiency in photodegradation at 110 min, with yield of 98.5%. The ROS tests indicated that the studied reactive species play a similar role in PZA photodegradation. |
