Abstract

Local structure and the photo-Fenton reactivity of iron-containing glasses and glass-ceramics prepared from Japanese domestic waste slag were investigated. The largest rate constant (k) of (2.8 ± 0.08) × 10−2 min−1 was recorded for the methylene blue degradation test by using H2O2 with a heat-treated ‘model slag’. The 57Fe Mössbauer spectrum was composed of a paramagnetic doublet with isomer shift of 0.18 ± 0.01 mm s−1 attributed to distorted FeIIIO4 tetrahedra. These results indicate that the paramagnetic Fe3+ provided strong photo-Fenton catalytic ability, and that waste slag can thus be recycled as an effective visible-light activated photocatalyst.
