Study on Decomposition Mechanism of Rhodamine B with Photocatalytic Composite Particles

Effective Parameters on Removal of Rhodamine B from Colored Wastewater by Nano polyaniline/Sawdust Composite

Background and purpose: Contamination of groundwater with colored and toxic wastewater causes many environmental problems and has adverse effects on human health. This study aimed at coating a nano polyaniline polymer layer on the surface of sawdust and preparing polyaniline sawdust composite (Pan/SD) via chemical polymerization of aniline monomer onto sawdust in aqueous solutions and removal o...

Photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B by nano bismuth oxide: Process modeling by response surface methodology (RSM)

The photocatalytic activity of nano-Bi2O3 was evaluated in degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) as a model of dye pollutant from waste waters. Nano sized Bi2O3 was synthesized using the chemical precipitation method. The as-prepared sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spect...

Photocatalytic applications with CdS • block copolymer/exfoliated graphene nanoensembles: hydrogen generation and degradation of Rhodamine B.

Amphiphilic block copolymer poly(isoprene-b-acrylic acid) (PI-b-PAA) was used to stabilize exfoliated graphene in water, allowing the immobilization of semiconductor CdS nanoparticles forming CdS • PI-b-PAA/graphene. Characterization using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy proved the success of the preparation method and revealed the prese...
