Photodecolorization of methylene blue using CuO/�?Ž�?³-Al2O3 prepared by low-temperature combustion method

Abstract

The CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst has been prepared by the low-temperature combustion method. And the photo-activity of the catalyst was investigated for decoloration methylene blue. The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) was employed to characterize the catalysts. The concentrations of CuO, volume of H2O2, temperature of reaction system and the light source were studied. The results indicated CuO/γ-Al2O3 catalyst could efficient photodecoloration metheylene blue (MB) under irradiation by solar and fluorescent lamp.
