SYNTHESIS OF IRON MOLYBDATE CATALYSTUSING SOLVOTHERMAL PROCESS
FOR PHOTOCATLYTIC APPLICATIONS
BY MR.GANDHAR GHANEKAR (B80215917) & MR. KAPIL DESHMUKH (B80215914)(B.E Chemical)
• Monoclinic and Orthorhombic Iron(II) Molybdate micro-sized particles selectively prepared by Solvothermal process.
• Product obtained on basis of pH, temperature & reaction time.
• 3D architectures of Iron(II) Molybdate nanoparticles with unique geometry can be used as a catalyst in photo-catalytic fields.
Mechanism of homogeneous catalyst
• First utilized by Davy around 1816 in the mine safety lamp and defined by Berzelius in 1835
• Models were first used in the early 1920s to understand the mechanism involved.
• It employs the phenomenon of adsorption which involves three steps-
a. Attachment of reactants to catalyst substrateb. Surface reaction on the surface of the catalystc. Desorption of the products formed from the catalyst surface
Mechanism of heterogeneous catalyst
• Cation exchange resins – insoluble polymer matrix that can exchange ions with the adjacent mixture.(eg. Amberlyst 15H)
• The use of heterogeneous catalysts has the following inherent advantages over homogeneous catalysts
a) They eliminate the corrosive environment.b) The catalyst can be easily removed from the reaction mixture
by decantation or filtrationc) The purity of the products is higher since the side reactions
can be completely eliminated or are less significant.
Nanocatalysis
• A catalyst is a substance which accelerates the rate of the chemical reaction or changes the product distribution without participating in it.
• It lowers the Activation Energy for efficient product formation.

Nano-catalysis
• Advantages
Introduction
• Size, shape & dimensionality are directly related with the properties of the material in areas of nanoparticles.
• Synthesis of molybdates is a growing interest over the past 20 years.
• Hydrothermal synthesis can be defined as a method of
synthesis of single crystals that depends on the solubility of
minerals in hot water under high pressure.
• Solvothermal synthesis is a method of producing chemical
compounds. It is very similar to the hydrothermal route (where
the synthesis is conducted in a stainless steel autoclave), the
only difference being that the precursor solution is usually not
aqueous.
Experimental Procedure
• Raw Materials: Fe(NO3)3 ∙9H2O (98%) and (NH4)6Mo7O24∙7H2O (99%).
• Solvent used for Sample 1: Water• Solvent used for Sample 2: Ethylene Glycol + Methanol• Raw materials and solvents are mixed with magnetic stirring
until complete dissolution.• Components are transferred to teflon-lined reactor which is then
kept in stainless-steel autoclave.• Autoclave kept in oven for ‘x’ hours at temperature ‘T’.• XRD, UV-Visible and FESEM analysis carried out after
generation of final dried product.

Shape Evolution
Experimental Result
• It was observed that parameters like pH & concentration play a crucial role in synthesis of the product.
Hydro- & Solvothermal Method
• Uses : A large number of compounds belonging to practically all classes have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions: elements, simple and complex oxides, tungstates, molybdates, carbonates, silicates etc.
Parallel Researches
• Bismuth molybdate is also catalyst developed on the same lines as iron molybdate
• Methylene blue photo decomposition.
• Nano structure and band gap manipulation .

• With temperature
• Precursor variation
Applications
• Photo-Degradation of industrial dyes.
• Oxidation of Methanol to Formaldehyde
Application
• Here we have considered only one application i.e Degradation
of industrial dye using photo-catalyst.
• The data required to execute the application is analysed using
various parameters.
• Temperature & Time-Synthesis of catalyst.
• Degradation of dye- Collection frequency, Composition of
catalyst, etc.

Optimization
• Initially , 0.1 g of the catalyst was used for a 10 ppm
methylene blue dye solution.
• But the degradation was too rapid.
• Quantity was reduced to 0.05 g.
• Recycle of catalyst: 3 times (RE)
Future Plans
• Successful dye degradation.
• Implementing on industrial scale.
• Optimization for maximum efficiency.
• Testing for other applications.
