Degradation Of Azo Dye

The photocatalysis of azo dye, Orange G, by P-25 anatase TiO2 was investigated in this research. The experiments were conducted in a batch reactor with TiO2 powder suspension. Four near-UV lamps were used as the light source. The experimental variables included solution pH level, amount of TiO2, illumination light intensity, and reaction time. A pseudo-first order reaction kinetic was proposed to simulate the photocatalytic degradation of Orange G in the batch reactor. More than 80% of 10 mg/L Orange G decomposition in 60-minute reaction time was observed in this study and fast decomposition of Orange G only occurred in the presence of both TiO2 and suitable light energy. Faster degradation of Orange G was achieved under acid conditions. The degradation rates of Orange G at pH = 3.0 were about two times faster than those at pH = 7.0. Faster degradation of azo dye was observed for greater irradiated light intensity and more TiO present during the reaction. The reaction rates were proportional to TiO2concentration and light intensity with the power order of 0.726 and 0.734, respectively.

In order to improve the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of nano-TiO2, reduce its usage and realize recycling and reuse, CaCO3–TiO2 composite photocatalyst was prepared with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and TiO2 in a grinding machine through the integration of grinding depolymerization, dispersion and particle composition. The photocatalytic degradation performance, recycling performance, structure and morphology of CaCO3–TiO2 were studied. The interaction mechanism between CaCO3 and TiO2 and the improvement mechanism for the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 were also discussed. The results show that under the UV light irradiation for 20 and 40 min, the degradation efficiency of methyl orange by the composite photocatalyst with 40% TiO2 (mass fraction) was 90% and 100%, respectively. This was similar to that of pure TiO2, and the performance of the composite photocatalyst was almost unchanged after five cycles. CaCO3–TiO2 is formed by the uniform loading of nano-TiO2 particles on the CaCO3 surface, and the nano-TiO2 particles are well dispersed. Due to the facts that the dispersion of nano-TiO2 is improved in the presence of CaCO3 and the charge transport capability is improved through the interfacial chemical bonds between CaCO3 and TiO2, the formation of this complex is an intrinsic mechanism to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of nano-TiO2 and reduce its usage in application processes.
