Decolorization of simulated spent reactive dye bath using solar / TiO2 / H2O2
S. Sreedhar Reddy and B. Kotaiah
Abstract
Different parameters were investigated to evaluate their effect on the process removal efficiency of reactive dye from simulated spent reactive dyebath, bysolar / TiO2 / H2O2, including H2O2 concentration, TiO2 loading and pH.As a result 99%ofreactive dye can beremoved at a TiO2 loading of 400mg/l, H2O2 concentration of150 mg/l and ofpH: 5.2. The effect of photo-catalytic deactivation of TiO2 on reactive dye removal was studied for ten number of cycles, and found that the extent of deactivation was high for each consecutive repeated use.
