Abstract

Photocatalytic degradation/decolorization of Basic Blue 41 dye assisted by UV radiation has been studied over TiO2-Fe3O4 supported by bentonite. In this experiment, photocatalytic decolorization process was performed continuously; where dye feed solution was supplied to a coated-ceramic vessel. The influence of the initial concentration, pH, and flow rate of the dye feed solution on the degradation efficiency process was examined in this study. The results showed that the increase in the dye concentration and flow rate reduces decolorization efficiency. The highest decolorization efficiency was at pH of 5.5. The kinetic study of this photo-decolorization indicated that under the experimental condition, the photocatalytic kinetic process followed first-order kinetics on the basis of Langmuir-Hinshelwood heterogeneous reaction mechanism, where the reaction rate constant, namely kr, is 0.7707 and the adsorption rate constant, namely K, is 0.01298.
