Unused to useful: Recycling plasma chamber coated waste composite of ZnO and α-Fe2O3 into an active material for sustainable waste-water treatment

While conventional cleaning to remove the coating from plasma chamber walls becomes essential to reproduce the desired materials on the target substrate for widespread applications, an attention towards wall-deposited materials is scarce. Recycling those waste materials to value-added product is of...

description While conventional cleaning to remove the coating from plasma chamber walls becomes essential to reproduce the desired materials on the target substrate for widespread applications, an attention towards wall-deposited materials is scarce. Recycling those waste materials to value-added product is of great importance for sustainable progress of our modern society. Herein, we investigated the materials deposited on the wall of plasma chamber, explored their promising features and compared them with conventionally grown materials. A mixture of ZnO and α-Fe2O3 (ZF) exposed to high energy plasma was collected from the wall (ZF-W) and also from the substrate (ZF-S) to check the feasibility of providing same quality products. With same lattice constant of hematite, magnetite and zinc ferrites, ZF-W differs from ZF-S in coercivity, saturation magnetization, ferromagnetic stoichiometry and defects.
