TiO2/SiO2/Fe3O4(TSF) core-shell nanoparticles with good photocatalytic activity that are capable of fast magnetic separation have been successfully prepared by chemical coprecipitation and two-step sol-gel process. The as-prepared TSF nanoparticles were calcined at high temperature in order to transform the amorphous titanium dioxide into a photoactive crystalline phase. The calcined nanoparticles are composed of a Fe3O4core with a strong response to external magnetic fields, a SiO2intermediary layer, and a TiO2outshell. Vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis confirms the superparamagnetism of calcined nanoparticles, which can enhance the recoverable properties of the novel photocatalyst. When the TiO2/SiO2/Fe3O4core-shell nanoparticles are added to the crude oily wastewater, they exhibit high photocatalytic activity in the degradation of crude oily wastewater. The oil concentration could be reduced to lower than 30 ppm within 20 minutes for the case of initial oil concentration less than 350 ppm. It has been found that the TSF nanoparticles could be easily separated from the wastewater and withdrawn by using an external magnetic field. The recovered TSF nanoparticles possess high efficiency in the degradation of crude oily wastewater even after three times successive reuse. The present results indicate that TSF core-shell nanoparticles possess great application perspectives in the degradation of crude oily wastewater.

Core Shell Nanoparticles

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with mean diameter of 150 nm were synthesized by using an aqueous-basedreduction method. Ascorbic acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were used as a reducing agent and as acatalyst, respectively. These AgNPs were subsequently coated with a layer of TiO2 to form Ag/TiO2 core-shellnanoparticles by using a sol-gel method. The particle sizes and morphology of Ag/TiO2 core-shellnanoparticles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transition electronmicroscopy (TEM). The photocatalytic activity of the Ag/TiO2 core-shell nanoparticles were evaluated basedon the degradation of methylene blue (MB) as the model reaction. The TiO2 coating has resulted in theenhanced photocatalytic activity of Ag nanoparticles as compared to bare Ag nanoparticles.
