Abstract
AbstractIn this study, a method for degrading PET-waste plastic bottles using ZnCl2:Urea as a catalyst was developed, resulting in high conversion (87%). The terephthalic acid obtained from the degradation of Waste PET Bottles (WPTs) was combined with copper and zinc salts to synthesize bimetallic metal–organic frameworks (MOF). The effectiveness of a bimetallic Cu-Zn(BDC)-MOF in catalyzing the reduction reaction of organic pollutant dyes (OPDs) was investigated, and the degradation efficiency of individual dyes was optimized, achieving over 95% degradation within 6–12 min under optimal conditions. Various techniques, including FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM, EDS, and TEM were used to characterize the synthesized MOF. Results showed that the catalytic activity of Cu-Zn-MOF in reduction reaction of OPDs was enhanced by increasing the copper content. The reaction kinetics were investigated following pseudo-first-order kinetics with rate constants of 0.581, 0.43, 0.37, and 0.30 min−1 for Methylene Blue (MB), Methyl Orange (MO), 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP), and 4-Nitroaniline (4-NA), respectively. The investigations revealed that the produced catalyst exhibited excellent stability and recoverability, while its activity remained well-preserved even after undergoing three reuse cycles.
