Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 139, Issue 11
Abstract
In this paper, photodegradation of dyes [Acid Red 14 (AR14) and Acid Red 18 (AR18)] has been studied using multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), ferrous ion (), and hydrogen peroxide. The surface characteristics of MWCNT were investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). UV-Visible (UV-Vis) and ion chromatography (IC) analyses were employed to investigate dye degradation. The effects of MWCNT, , initial dye concentration, and salt on the photodegradation of dye were investigated. Formate, acetate, and oxalate were detected as aliphatic intermediates. The and were detected as dye mineralization products. The results showed that might be a suitable catalyst for dye degradation.
