| Abstract: | A Tb(7)O(12)/TiO(2) composite was successfully synthesized through a hydrolysis-calcination process. The Tb(7)O(12)/TiO(2) composite catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption/reflection spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The heterogeneous sonocatalytic oxidation of amaranth in water, containing dispersed pure TiO(2) and Tb(7)O(12)/TiO(2) composite, was investigated under ultrasonic irradiation. The activity of the Tb(7)O(12)/TiO(2) catalyst is higher than that of pure TiO(2) during the sonodegradation of amaranth. The enhanced sonocatalytic activity of the composite may be attributed to the increase in charge separation efficiency and the presence of surface acidity. |
