Abstract

Carbon nitride is a representative metal-free photocatalyst for green chemical technology. In this study, synthesized g-C3N4 carbon nitride was employed to study effect of pH and potassium salt loading on photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol. The result indicated that the maximum conversion could be achieved to 20.75% at a pH of 8.66 with a concentration of K2HPO4 of 0.6 mmol Suitable pH and salt concentration were important factor for promoting of proton on surface and electronic conductivity to separate electron in photocatalysis. ฉ 2017 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
