Abstract

This study investigated the photocatalytic degradation of textile Azo dye using the photocatalyst immobilized Dowex-1x8. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are the best methods for treating textile effluent. Immobilized Dowex-1x8, a newly developed photocatalyst, is used for the photodegradation of azo dye. The effects of various factors including photocatalyst loading, dye concentration, light intensity and pH on photocatalytic degradation were evaluated. The photo degradation efficiency reached about 98% after 210 min of irradiation. The degradation rate typically follows a first order kinetic reaction. In this study, we found that the photocatalytic degradation treatment of the dye in water is a simple and rapid method.
