ABSTRACT
Zinc molybdate (ZnMoO4) was prepared by thermal decomposition of an oxalate complex under a controlled temperature of 500 °C. Analyses of the oxalate complex were carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). On the other hand, analyses of the synthesized zinc molybdate were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller technique (BET). The efficiency of the synthesized catalyst was tested with the reduction reaction of 3-nitrophenol (3-NP), and was also applied as a sorbent for methylene blue dye (MB) in aqueous solutions. The catalytic test of zinc molybdate shows a very high activity. The concentration reduction progress and adsorption of the dye were followed by an ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer.
