摘要

In this work, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were successfully synthesized from two precursors of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2), which was named ZnO-1 and ZnO-2, respectively, using Curcuma longa extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Effects of precursor types on characterization and tetracycline (TC) photodegradation efficiency were investigated. Indeed, characterization was assessed via modern analytical techniques, while the photocatalytic performance was examined within various factors, including reaction time, catalyst dosage, and TC concentration. Besides, the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on photocatalysis were also evaluated in the presence of scavengers. As a result, ZnO-NPs produced from ZnCl2 (ZnO-1) possessed a high crystallinity and uniform particle size as compared to those of ZnO-2 (derived from Zn(NO3)2). Also, the photodegradation of the

ZnO-1 was higher than ZnO-2, herein, the optimal conditions were recorded at 99.9% TC removal after 120 min under the sunlight irradiation with 20 mg of catalyst dosage and 10 mg/L TC concentration. From the results, the ZnCl2 precursor is appreciated for the synthesis of ZnO, such a potential catalyst utilized in environmental remediation.
