Reduction of Organic Pollutant by AOP

Authors(1) :-Eman A. Mohammed

Dye is a chemical compound that used in various industries such as textile, inks, and photographic industries production. Reduction of reactive red dye (HE3BN) from simulated wastewater was examined in this study by using NiO as a photocatalyst. Various factors have influenced the performance of photocatalyst process in removing reactive red dye such as solution pH, influent concentration of dye and amount of catalyst(NiO). In this study the optimal values of these parameters that give the most efficient removal or reactive dye were estimated. The results displayed that NiO is a reliable substance to remove reactive red dye (HE3BN) by photocatalysis process and the optimal values of solution pH, initial concentration of dye, and amount of NiO were 8, 25ppm, and 1.5g, respectively which gave 96.9% of dye removal efficiency.
