Attapulgite Performance in the Degradation of the Yellow Bright Dye

Article Preview

Abstract:

Degradation of yellow bright anionic dye under ultraviolet radiation was studied using attapulgite (ATT) as a support in the immobilization of the photocatalyst semiconductor, titanium dioxide, TiO2. The photocatalytic performance of the corresponding catalyst was evaluated using the 1.0x10-4 mol L-1 concentration of the dye. The samples were irradiated with UV light for 120 minutes. The kinetics were monitored by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The spectra absorption showed that the increased amount of photoactive material in the reaction system maximizes the efficiency of the photocatalytic process.
