Abstract


Heterogeneous photocatalysis is evolving as a sustainable technology for unraveling environmental crises, that may surmount many shortcomings of the traditional water treatment methods. In the last two decades intensive research activities on the photo catalytic degradation of organic pollutants have done. The removal of the non-biodegradable organic chemicals is a crucial ecological problem. Not bearing the substantial advantages of PCD (photo catalytic degradation), this technique is yet to be executed on large scale for treatment of industrial wastes. Degradation of Azo dyes is challenging for researchers and environmentalists. The present study involves the photocatalytic study of Acid Orange19 Azo dyes in photochemical reactor using immobilized photocatalyst with sunlight. Photocatalytic activity of immobilized photocatalyst is investigated. Photodegradation of these azo dyes by recently developed immobilized photocatalyst is better alternate to replace costly traditional treatment technologies for industrial application. A result of experiment is exiting and we recover 100% transparent water from dye polluted wastewater. The photodegradation of Acid Orange-19 azo dye present in textile water follows approximately pseudo first order kinetics according to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. The effects of some parameters such as pH, amount of photocatalyst and azo dye concentration are also examined.
