Fund Project:

The nickel atoms in a metal ferrite lattice inhibit photocatalytic activity with hydrogen peroxide. However, activated carbon bonded on nickel ferrite (AC-NiFe₂O₄) induces photocatalytic activity of nickel ferrite with hydrogen peroxide, enabling photo-Fenton catalytic oxidation of ammonia under visible-light irradiation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The AC-NiFe₂O₄ catalyst was characterized using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and a vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature. The photocatalytic tests showed that the ammonia degradation efficiency approached 91.0% in the presence of the AC-NiFe₂O₄ catalyst, whereas the efficiency was only 24.0% without the catalyst under similar conditions over 10 h. Another test showed that the single NiFe₂O₄ catalyst achieved a degradation efficiency of only 30.0% under similar conditions, indicating that activated carbon can accelerate the rate of ammonia oxidation. Exploration of the oxidation mechanism showed that the oxidation pathway involves an HONH₂ intermediate, forming nitrite ions. Kinetic studies showed that the oxidation of ammonia follows a pseudo-first order kinetic law, with a rate constant of 3.538×10^-3 min^-1. The catalyst was used in eight runs, and shown to be stable, recoverable, separable, and reusable, suggesting that it has potential applications in the disposal of ammonia.
