Abstract

Photocatalytic destruction of reactive red 198 using zinc oxide and titania nanoparticles was investigated in the presence of UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic experiments were carried out in a batch mode using 8 W UV lamp which emits a peak wavelengths of 254 and 375 nm. The effect of parameters such as the effect of incident wavelength and the effect of pH were conducted. For nano ZnO there was a slight decrease of degradation at neutral pH and decreased again in alkali medium. Reactive red 198 dye degradation was found to be more favorable in mild acidic and neutral medium on TiO₂ surface. The photocatalytic degradation reaction accords with a pseudo-first order kinetics. The reusability of the nanocatalysts was also investigated. Total organic carbon analysis indicated complete mineralization of reactive red 198 on ZnO and TiO₂ surfaces.
