Resumen

En este trabajo se investiga la obtención del composito TiO₂-Fe₂O₃ por mecanosíntesis, usando óxido de titanio (TiO₂), fase anatasa, y trióxido de hierro (Fe₂O₃), fase hematita, como precursores. También se investiga sobre el uso de este composito como fotocatalizador de la degradación de moléculas orgánicas utilizando luz solar natural. Por Difracción de rayos X y espectroscopía infrarroja se confirmó la formación del composito TiO₂-Fe₂O₃. La caracterización de sus propiedades ópticas se realizó mediante espectroscopia de reflectancia difusa, mientras que su textura y morfología se investigó por la técnica BET y microscopia electrónica de barrido. Los resultados indicaron que el composito TiO₂-Fe₂O₃contiene grupos OH, los cuales junto con el valor de área superficial específica (66.59 m²·g^-1) relativamente alto, su mesoporosidad, bajo valor del tamaño de cristalita y de la brecha energética prohibida, favorecieron su buena eficiencia fotocatalítica en la fotodegradación de azul de metileno (64.74%) y diclofenaco (81.85%) de soluciones acuosas.
