Black sand, Photocatalytic hydrogen production, Sacrificial agentAbstract
Black sand mineral is a mixture of iron oxides (FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4), TiO2 and SiO2 presents in a natural structure, which could be used as a semiconductor. In this work, we evaluated the effect of the sacrificial agent for the photocatalytic hydrogen production using this material as a catalyst. For this purpose, the effect of process variables such as type of sacrificial agent (EDTA, Na2SO3 and CH3OH), normally used as electron donors in the photocatalytic reaction of hydrogen production, initial pH of the suspension (3.0, 7.0 and 9.0) and the concentration of the substrate, were tested. These varied between 1.0, 25.0 and 50.0 mM for EDTA and Na2SO3, and 10.0, 30.0 and 50.0% (v / v) for methanol. Under the reaction conditions evaluated, the maximum hydrogen production levels were Na2SO3>EDTA>CH3OH, respectively, and the maximum hydrogen production was obtained with 25 mM Na2SO3 in acid medium (pH 7.0). The degradation of EDTA and simultaneous production of hydrogen by photocatalytic reaction, were favored at pH 3.0 and a concentration 1.0 mM.
