Abstract
AbstractUrea used in fertilization and feed supplement, as well as a starting material for the manufacture of plastics and drugs. Urea is most commonly produced by reacting carbon dioxide with ammonia at high temperature. Photocatalysis has gained attention as a sustainable pathway for performing urea. This work focus on designing very active photocatalysts based on cerium organic framework (Ce-BTC) doped with metal oxide nanoparticles (molybdenum permanganate, Mo(MnO4)5) for production of urea from coupling of ammonia with carbon dioxide. The prepared materials were characterized using different spectral analysis and the morphology was analysed using microscopic data. The effect of catalyst loading on the production rate of urea was investigated and the obtained results showed speed rate of urea production with high production yield at low temperature. The recyclability tests confirmed the sustainability of the prepared photocatlysts (Mo(MnO4)5@Ce-BTC) which supported the beneficial of the photocatalysis process in urea production.
