Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Mineralization of Azo Dye in Aqueous Solution

Photocatalytic degradation of an azo dye, Acid Red 27, in aqueous solution using nano ZnO

Photocatalytic degradation of Acid Red 27 by nano ZnO has been investigated under different conditions. Optimum experimental conditions on catalyst amount, pH and dye concentration have been determined. Addition of some inorganic oxidizing species such as H2O2, K2S2O8 and KBrO3 up to a certain concentration increases the rate of degradation. The photodecolourisation and degradation kinetics are...

Decomposition of a Di Azo Dye in aqueous solutions by

This study examined the photolytic degradation of C.I. Acid Red 73 AR73 diazo dye, in aqueous solution by combined UV, hydrogen peroxide and KMnO4. A continuous circulated photoreactor equipped with a low pressure mercury lamp 15 W, emission 253.7 nm was used. In the first step, potassium permanganate was used for decolourisation of AR73 dye solution. The effect of the key operating variables s...
