Research on  photodegradation of textile dyes  of methylene blue (MB) and congo red (CR) using ZnO-Activated Carbon composite and ultraviolet (UV) light has been done. This research included synthesis zinc oxide (ZnO), synthesis ZnO-Activated Carbon, and the application of composite to degrade textile dyes of MB and CR. In this research studied the effect of pH, concentration and time of UV radiation  towards photodegradation percentages  of dyes. Then it determined the rate and the effectivity of photodegradation of MB and CR dyes using ZnO-Activated Carbon composite. The result showed that  photodegradation of MB reach optimal condition at pH 11 with radiation time 4 hour, whereas CR is at pH 5 with the same radiation time. The more initial concentration of MB and CR applicated, the lower of photodegradation percentages. Constanta of photodegradation rate of MB and CR dyes using ZnO-Activated Carbon composite are 0.8316 and 1.4938 hour-1 respectively. ZnO-Activated Carbon composite as a photocatalyst can degrade effectively MB and CR dyes with photodegradation percentages of 99.40±0.23 % and 99.61±0.24% respectively.

This study involves the investigation of altering the photocatalytic activity of TiO2using composite materials. Three different forms of modified TiO2, namely, TiO2/activated carbon (AC), TiO2/carbon (C), and TiO2/PANi, were compared. The TiO2/carbon composite was obtained by pyrolysis of TiO2/PANi prepared by in situ polymerization method, while the TiO2/activated carbon (TiO2/AC) was obtained after treating TiO2/carbon with 1.0 M KOH solution, followed by calcination at a temperature of 450°C. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET), and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used to characterize and evaluate the prepared samples. The specific surface area was determined to be in the following order: TiO2/AC > TiO2/C > TiO2/PANi > TiO2(179 > 134 > 54 > 9 m2 g−1). The evaluation of photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methylene blue under UV light irradiation was also of the same order, with 98 > 84.7 > 69% conversion rate, which is likely to be attributed to the porosity and synergistic effect in the prepared samples.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) powder was used as a photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye solution. In this study, different amount of ZnO (10, 20 and 30 mg) as photocatalyst was used to investigate the performance of photocatalytic degradation of MB dye solution. The morphology and structural properties of ZnO powder were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) techniques. The photocatalytic activities of the ZnO powder were investigated by degrading the MB dye solution under UV light irradiation at different amounts of ZnO photocatalyst. The percentage degradation of MB dye solution in the presence of 10 mg ZnO powder was found to be the highest at 96.2 % within 60 min irradiation compared to 20 and 30 mg of ZnO powder. The photodegradation rate constants, k obtained in this study were 0.0661, 0.0558, and 0.0507 min-1 for 10, 20, and 30 mg ZnO powder, respectively that follow the pseudo first-order reaction kinetics.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods incorporated activated carbon (AC) composite photocatalyst was synthesized using a hydrothermal process. The AC was prepared from lapsi (Choerospondias axillaris) seed stone, an agricultural waste product, found in Nepal by the chemical activation method. An aqueous suspension of AC with ZnO precursor was subjected to the hydrothermal treatment at 140 °C for 2 h to decorate ZnO rods into the surface of AC. As-obtained ZnO nanorods decorated activated carbon (ZnO/AC) photocatalyst was characterized by various techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Results showed that highly crystalline hexagonal ZnO nanorods were effectively grown on the surface of porous AC. The photocatalytic property of the as-prepared ZnO/AC composite was studied by degrading methylene blue (MB) dye under UV-light irradiation. The ZnO/AC composite showed better photocatalytic property than that of the pristine ZnO nanorods. The enhanced photocatalytic performance in the case of the ZnO/AC composite is attributed to the combined effects of ZnO nanorods and AC.

The adsorption of Methylene Blue (MB) and Acid Orange 7 (AO7) dye onto Ananas Comosus Mixed Peels and Leaves (ACMPL) were carried out by conducting four different parameters such as initial concentration, pH, dosage of adsorbent, and contact time. Effect of initial concentration for both dyes showed that higher initial concentration would take longer contact time to attain equilibrium due to higher amount of adsorbate molecules. The effect of pH showed highest percentage removal for MB is at pH 9 which is 95.81%. Meanwhile for AO7 the highest percentage removal is 31.06% at pH 3. The percentage removal of MB had reached the equilibrium at dosage 0.5g while AO7 keep increasing with the increment of adsorbent dosage. The percentage removal of MB and AO7 had increased until hour 2.5 which was from 72.5% to 86.93% and 19.441% to 36.89% respectively and reached equilibrium at 3 hour contact time.

The photocatalytic degradation (PCD) of three commercially textile dyes, namely Alizarin Cyanine Green G (ACG), Reactive Red 195 (RR195) and Reactive Black 5 (RB5) has been investigated using TiO2(Degussa P25) photocatalyst in aqueous solution under UV light. Experiments were conducted to optimize various parameters viz. amount of catalyst, initial concentration of dye and solution pH. Degradation of all the dyes was examined by using UV spectrophotometer. Photocatalytic degradation increased with increasing TiO2loading (in the range 0.51.5 g/L) and decreasing with increasing dye concentration (in the range 20-100 mg/L) and solution pH (in the range 4-10). Result demonstrated that the reactivity of the three dyes for TiO2catalyzed PCD was as follows: Reactive Red 195>Reactive Black 5>Alizarin cyanine Green G, respectively.

This study was conducted to remove Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solution using activated carbon prepared from N. microphyllum (AC-NM) as a new, cheap, and non-toxic. Design of experiments based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM) conducted to investigate the effect of variables namely; initial dye concentration, pH, contact time and absorbent dosage. An empirical model was developed applying ANOVA analysis. The interaction effects of all factors and their optimization have been carried out using RSM. Dye removal efficiency increased to more than 90% with increasing pH and initial concentration of dye from 3 to 11 and 10 to 210 mg/L, respectively under 1.1 to 1.4 g/L of absorbent dosage. Among factors, initial concentration of MB known as an important factor with P- value <0.0001. The experimental data are fitted with Freundlich model based on multi layer adsorption states (R2=0.99). The adsorption kinetics well described by second order model with R2 = 0.98. This novel absorbent has different advantages such as low cost, high ability to absorb pollutants and easily available that can be suggested for water and wastewater treatment.
