Enhancing Dye Decolorization: CS/TiO2-ZrO2 Nano Hybrid Catalyst for Malachite Green Removal

Article Preview

Abstract:

The modification of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) supported by chitosan (CS) was carried out to obtain a binary oxide system, which should have the properties of both components such as high stability, solar propulsion, non-toxicity and good corrosion resistance. The sample with a ratio of 1:1:3 (TiO2:CS:ZrO2) showed the best results with a photocatalytic degradability of 99 % after 90 minutes at a pH of 7 and in 10 ppm Malachite Green (MG). Under visible light, the photocatalytic degradability of the CS/TiO2-ZrO2 hybrid was more than 90 %. The enhanced photocatalytic degradation of MG by hybrid catalyst beads was attributed to the synergistic effect of hybrid CS/TiO2-ZrO2.
