Abstract:

      The photocatalytic degradation of two anionic azo dyes Acid Red88 (AR 88) and Acid Orange 7 (AO7) was investigated in aqueous solution using a TiO2-containing hydrogel and UV light. The pH-sensitive hydrogel poly (styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PSMA), was synthesized and crosslinked in the presence of melamine and TiO2 nanoparticles which results in entrapment of TiO‌2 into the melamine-grafted PSMA (M-g-PSMA) hydrogel. Potential application of this nanocomposite for removal of azo dyes from wastewater was studied and the effective parameters on degradation process including time, initial pH value of the solutions, temperature and amount of added nanocomposite were optimized. The optimized values for effective parameters are as follows: time: 30 min, initial pH of the solutions: 5.23 for AO7 and 5.3 for AR88, temperature: 24 ºC and amount of added nanocomposite: 250 mg. Results showed that in optimum experimental conditions the removal percentages are about %94 for AR88 and %71 for AO7 indicating good removal performance toward the method whilst pH-sensitivity of the nanocomposite facilitates retrieval of nanocatalyst at the end of the reaction.

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...
