Abstract

In this study, the effect of calcination temperature towards the optical, morphological properties and photocatalytic degradation performance of the synthesized LaFeO3 were investigated. The precursor and synthesized LaFeO3 calcined at 500-900 ºC were characterized using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and BET. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized LaFeO3 was performed on oily wastewater. The photocatalytic degradation performance of LaFeO3-600 is 67%, 72% and 63% for 1000ppm, 10000ppm and 20000ppm respectively. This study verified that calcination temperatures have a major impact on the optical, structural and morphological properties of nanoparticles.
