Preparation and Characterization of YMnO₃ by Microwave Assisted Process

Abstract:

Using yttrium nitrate (Y(NO₃)₃·6H₂O), manganese acetate (MnC₄H₆O₄·4H₂O), citric acid (C₆H₈O₇·H₂O) and urea (CH₄N₂O) as major raw materials, the YMnO₃ was prepared by microwave assisted method. The structure and morphology of samples were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The results show that the YMnO₃ was successfully prepared by microwave process and calcined from 750°C to 1050°C. When the calcination temperature is 850°C, the grain of YMnO₃has good uniformity and the average grain size of 80-100 nm. Under UV-light irradiation, the photocatalytic activity of YMnO₃ was studied for methyl orange (MO) used as simulated sewage. The photocatalytic experiment show that the YMnO₃ exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for degradation methyl orange.
