The presence of azo dyes in textile effluents is an issue of major concern due to their potential impact on the environment and human health. In this study we investigate the photocatalytic degradation under visible light of Reactive Violet 5 (RV5), an azo dye widely used in the textile industry. A preliminary screening of different titania-based catalysts was carried out to identify the best candidate for RV5 removal. The selected catalyst was then tested in a stirred and aerated lab-scale reactor illuminated with a blue light-emitting diode (LED) source emitting in the wavelength range of 460–470 nm. The effects of pH, catalyst load, and hydrogen peroxide additions on the efficiency of dye removal were evaluated. Under the best conditions (pH 10, 3 g/L of catalyst, and 60 mM hydrogen peroxide), the dye solution was completely decolorized in about 2 h. Overall, the results obtained suggest that the proposed process may represent a suitable method for the removal of RV5 from textile effluents.

The photodegradation of reactive green KE-4BD solution is investigated using N-doped titania (N-TiO2) under visible light irradiation. N-TiO2 is prepared using ammonia or urea as a nitrogen source and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller methods, and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra. The effects of the initial dye concentration and pH on photocatalytic degradation are studied, and the direct correlation between pH, dye concentration, and the rate of degradation are determined. Experimental results show that aqueous solutions of KE-4BD degrade easily in weakly acidic conditions in the presence of N-doped TiO2 (1 g/L) as a photocatalyst. The optimized dye concentration for photolysis is 150 mg/L. The complete degradation of KE-4BD could be achieved under visible light irradiation, and the dye molecules could be partly decomposed into inorganic substances.
