The Effect of Silver and Silver-Platinum Doped Into 5A Zeolite on the Degradation of Naptalam

摘要

This study investigated the synthesis and catalytic properties of silver, platinum, and mixed Ag-Pt dopants into the 5A zeolite host. The prepared materials were tested toward the photodecomposition of the pesticide naptalam. The results indicate strong catalytic activities for the Ag-Pt-5A catalyst whereas, the Ag5A was found out to be the only doped zeolite that adsorbs the pesticide as soon as it came in contact with its surface. α-naphtylamine and phthalic acid were determined to be major photodecomposition products.
