Abstract :
MnTiO3-Zeolite-Y nanocomposites were synthesized with 5-10-20%
(w/w) of MnTiO3 by stearic acid gel method. Then, the gels were
calcined at 900 °C for 4 hours and the resulted spectra were
investigated at 20% (w/w) concentration. Also, the presence of
rhombohedral phase of MnTiO3 in Zeolite-Y matrix was confirmed
by XRD, SEM, EDX and BET. The VSM results showed the
antiferromagnetic properties for the 20% nanocomposite. The
photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposites was finally evaluated
by degradation of methylene blue and calcon reagents in aqueous
solution.
