abstract

the photocatalytic decolorization of aqueous solutions brown ng, a commercial textile dye, was studied using titana degussa p-25 as a catalyst for the first time. the experiments were carried out in a batch reactor with the use of artificial light sources (uv-c). the effects of various process variables on decolorization performance of the process have been investigated. the photodegradation of brown ng was enhanced by the addition of proper amounts of hydrogen peroxide, but it was inhibited by ethanol. inhibiting effect of ethanol showed that hydroxyl radicals play a significant role in the photodegradation of the dye. in addition, the decolorization efficiency increased with decrease in ph, which implies that the ph is a very important parameter in dye adsorption. the efficiency is inversely related to the dye concentration. results of toc analysis show that the organic compounds were degraded, too.

Photocatalytic Decolorization of Methyl Orange by Silica-Supported TiO2 Composites

Immobilization of TiO2 on silica gel has been proposed to enable easy separation of the catalyst in aqueous systems after photocatalytic reaction. Our simple synthesizing method reduces production cost, and the photocatalyst could find economical application in wastewater treatment. Silica-supported TiO2 composites were prepared by molten salt method at 500, 600 and 700 °C for 60 min. The obtai...

UV/TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of xanthene dyes.

UV/titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) degradation of two xanthene dyes, erythrosine B (Ery) and eosin Y (Eos), was studied in a photocatalytic reactor. Photocatalysis was able to degrade 98% of Ery and 73% of Eos and led to 65% of chemical oxygen demand removal. Experiments in buffered solutions at different initial pH values reveal the pH dependence of the process, with better results obtained under ac...
