Abstract

This paper reports the biosynthesis of FeVO4 to evaluate its photocatalytic activity in heterogeneous phase. In this synthesis, we use olive leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The prepared material was characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, BET. In order to select the optimal conditions, the effects of process parameters on the degradation of the crystal violet dye, such as the amount of photocatalyst, solution pH, irradiation time and wavelength of radiation were studied. In order to improve the photocatalytic activity of FeVO4 we have doped it with the two metals manganese and silver. A remarkable photocatalytic activity is observed in the case of doping FeVO4 with silver using 12 W commercial LED lamps.
