Photodegradation of a real textile dyeing wastewater taken from Hilla textile factory in Babylon Governorate, Iraq have been investigated. Photocatalytic degradation was carried out over suspensions of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide under ultraviolet irradiation. Photodegradation percentage was followed spectrophometrically by the measurements of absorbance at λmax equal to 380 nm. The rate of photodegradation increased linearly with time of irradiation when titanium dioxide or zinc oxide was used. A maximum color removal of 96% was achieved after irradiation time of 2.5 hours when titanium dioxide used at 303K and 82% color reduction was observed when zinc oxide used for the same period and at the same temperature. The effect of temperature on the efficiency of photodegradation of dyestuff was also studied. The activation energy of photodegradation was calculated and found to be equal to 21 ± 1 kJ mol-1 on titanium dioxide and 24 ± 1 kJ mol-1 on zinc oxide.

Photocatalytic-degradation process of Safranin-T dye in this article has been investigated by using prepared nanocomposite and solar lamp. Zinc oxide/vanadium pentoxide nanocomposite was prepared using “hydrothermal processes”. The degradation of dye was performed by irradiated aqueous suspended solutions containing different concentrations of dye using 0.2g/100ml of nanocomposite. The effect of various factors on the photocatalytic-degradation process of Safranin-T dye was tested to reach an optimal state, where they involve the effect of the nanocomposite mass and the effect of Safranin-T dye concentration the effect of light intensity and effect of temperature. The activation energy has been calculated equal 28.84 kJ.mole-1 The irradiated solutions were studied using UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

In recent years, there have been many research works on use of different methods to treat textile dyeing wastewater such as mechanical, biological and chemical methods (using oxidizing agents, such as: H2O2, O3, and H2O2/O3). However, some traditional textile dyeing wastewater treatment methods such as mechanical and biological methods have limitations in treating these pollutants thoroughly. To enhance the treatment efficiency, the use of photocatalysts combination with strong oxidizing agents, such as H2O2, has been extensively developed in recent years. In this study, the iron-centred bimetallic organic framework Fe-MOF has been synthesized by partial replacement of Fe3+ ions with Mn metal ions by solvent-thermal method. The analytical methods used to evaluate the structural characterization of the as-synthesized materials including Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Brunaurer-Emmett-Teller (BET), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FT-IR), and UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS). The experiments on the decomposition of organic pigment Rhodamine B were performed under varying conditions of pH, catalyst mass and RhB colorant concentration. Experiments with different electron capturers indicate that h+ plays a major role in the photochemical degradation of RhB. The stability and durability of the 0.1 Mn/Fe-MOF catalyst were evaluated through the leaching and recycle experiments, showing that the RhB degradation efficiency of the photocatalyst decreased modestly after five repetitions.
