Abstract
The substitution of different types of A-site metal cations within the perovskite structure leads to a change in the catalytic activity of the resultant catalyst, which subsequently affects the overall kinetic behaviour of the degradation of organic pollutants. Hence, understanding the kinetics behaviour of the substituted perovskite catalysis is crucial for determining the reaction rates of the degradation process. This study investigates the catalytic performance and kinetic analysis of substituted MeCuFeO₃ (Me = Ca, Sr, CaSr) perovskite catalysts in the oxidation of organic pollutants, namely acid orange II (AOII) dye. The highest AOII degradation was achieved by CaCuFeO₃ (97 %) followed by CaSrCuFeO₃ (95 %) and SrCuFeO₃ (91 %) within 60 min of reaction in the presence of oxidant (H₂O₂). Interestingly, the AOII oxidation by CaCuFeO₃ followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model while SrCuFeO₃ and CaSrCuFeO₃ were fitted to the BMG kinetic model. The reaction rate constant of CaCuFeO₃ (k = 1.9 × 10-²L.mg-¹.min-¹) was higher by a magnitude of two and three than that of CaSrCuFeO₃(k = 9.4 × 10-³L.mg-¹.min-¹) and SrCuFeO₃(k = 6.3 ×10-³L.mg-¹.min-¹), respectively. These results indicate that the partial substitution of Sr in the A-site of CaCuFeO₃leads to a slight deterioration in the overall catalytic performance of the oxidative degradation of AOII, which contributes to a change in the behaviour of the reaction kinetic models.
