The photocatalytic degradation has been considered to be an efficient process for degradation of organic pollutants, which are present in the effluents released by industries. The photocatalytic bleaching was carried out on rhodamin-B (cationic dye) in the presence of iron (III) complex, hydrogen peroxide and was observed spectrophotometrically. The effect of various operating variables like pH, concentration of complex and dye, amount of H2O2 and light intensity etc. was also observed on the efficiency of the reaction. A tentative mechanism has also been proposed for this photocatalytic degradation of rhodamin-B.   Keywords: Photocatalytic degradation, rhodamin-B, metal complexes, hydrogen peroxide

The photocatalytic degradation has been considered to be an efficient process for the degradation of organic pollutants, which are present in the effluents released by industries. The photocatalytic bleaching of cationic dye methylene blue was carried out spectrometrically on irradiation of UV light using Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II) complexes of (2E)-2-[(2E)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide (HL). The effects of pH and metal ion were studied on the efficiency of the reaction. Cu(II) complex shows better catalytic activity and the highest percentage degradation (~88.8%) of methylene blue was observed at pH 12. A tentative mechanism has also been proposed for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue.

The photocatalytic degradation of Phenol Red was investigated using thiocyanate complexes of iron, copper, cobalt and hydrogen peroxide. The rate of photocatalytic degradation of the dye was followed spectrophotometrically. The effect of the variation of different parameters, such as pH, concentration of the complexes and dye, amount of H2O2 and light intensity on the rate of photocatalytic degradation was also studied. A tentative mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation of Phenol Red is proposed.

The photodegradation of parathion in the direct photolysis, UV/TiO2, UV/H2O2 and UV/TiO2/H2O2 systems was investigated at 25°C. The effect of light intensity was also examined to clarify the relationship between the photo flux and decomposition rate of parathion. Results of the study demonstrated that no obvious degradation of parathion in dark reaction occurred within 24 hours. However, the addition of TiO2 and/or H2O2 promotes the degradation efficiency of parathion. Adding H2O2 was more effective in the photocatalytic oxidation of parathion than TiO2. Also, hydrogen peroxide was found as an intermediate with the maximum concentration of 55 μM in UV/TiO2 system during the photodegradation of parathion. A higher intensity of lamp could increase the degradation rate of parathion. However, the quantum efficiency for degradation of parathion decreased from 0.053 to 0.006 when light intensity increased from 100 W to 450W. Photodecomposition followed a pseudo-first-order reaction. The rate constants of parathion ranged from 0.003 min−1 for direct photolysis to 0.023 min−1 for UV/TiO2/H2O2 system. This study indicated that photocatalytic degradation is a highly promising technology for detoxifying parathion.

Calcium molybdates (undoped and carbon-doped) have been used as a photocatalyst for the degradation of malachite green. These have been characterized by different techniques such as FE-SEM, EDX and XRD. The progress of the reaction has been monitored spectrophotometrically. Different rate affecting parameters like pH, concentration of dye, amount of semiconductor and light intensity have been studied and their optimum values obtained are pH 9.7, concentration of malachite green as 5.00 × 10-4 M, 0.12 g of CaMoO4 and light intensity as 50.0 mWcm–2. A tentative mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation of dye has been proposed, where hydroxyl radical has been observed as an active oxidizing species.

Various semiconductors have been used as photocatalysts for removal of different dyes from their aqueous solutions. Zinc sulphide semiconductor is used in the present investigation as a photocatalyst for the removal of rose Bengal dye. Effect of different parameters, which affect the rate of reaction; like pH, concentration of dye, amount of semiconductor and light intensity have been studied. A mechanism has also been proposed in which hydroxyl radicals are shown as an active oxidizing species.
