abstract

mn doped zno nanocomposite thin film coated on glass by a simple spin-coating method was used to degrade an azo textile dye from aqueous environment. mn doped zno nanocomposite thin film was characterized by means of x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the photo-reduction activity of photocatalyst was evaluated using an azo textile dye as organic contaminant irradiated only with uv light from mercury bulb. the processing parameter such as the ph value also played an important role in tuning the photocatalytic activity. the maximum photodecomposition rate was achieved at ph=6, and a novel model about the absorption of azo dye on the surface of the catalysts was proposed.

Textile Dye Removal Using Photocatalytic Cascade Disk Reactor Coated by ZnO Nanoparticles

Dye effluents with low BOD/COD ratio and varied chemical structures are usually very recalcitrant to microbial degradation. Therefore, different process was used for the treatment of dye effluent. Heterogeneous photocatalyst process has been widely used as leading green technology for dye removal. The process utilizes a semiconductor photocatalyst (such as TiO2 or ZnO) and UV light to oxidize t...

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...
