Abstract
Fe3O4/SiO2/Alginate as photocatalyst for degradation of Batik Cual Waste has been synthesized. This study aimed to determine the degradation of cual batik waste using Fe3O4/SiO2/Alginate photocatalyst assisted by UV-C light. In this research, Fe3O4 was synthesized through the coprecipitation method, then coated with SiO2 and sodium alginate The source of SiO2 used comes from tin tailings sand. SiO2 content in tin tailings is 87.45%. UV DRS analysis showed that the band gap energies of SiO2, Fe3O4, Fe3O4/SiO2, Fe3O4/SiO2/Alginate were 1.76 eV, 1.61 eV, 2.04 eV and 1.59 eV, respectively. XRD analysis showed that the Fe3O4/SiO2 composite was successfully formed in the presence of typical diffraction peaks for silica quartz and magnetite on the composite diffractogram. Based on the percent degradation data, it was obtained that the optimal degradation time using the Fe3O4/SiO2/Alginate composite was 96.73% at 30 minutes.
