ملخص المقالة :
The heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of crystal violet under visible light has been investigated usingcopper modified iron oxide. The photocatalyst has been prepared by coprecipitation method. The rate ofphotocatalyic degradation of dye was monitored spectrophotometrically. It has been observed thatphotocatalytic degradation follows pseudo first order kinetics. The effect of various parameters like pH,concentration of dye, amount of photocatalyst, amount of H2O2 and light intensity on the rate of photo-Fenton degradation has also been observed. Photocatalyst has been characterized by IR spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) of the reactionmixture before and after exposure was determined. A tentative mechanism for the photocatalytic degradationof crystal violet has also been proposed. Involvement of •OH radicals has been confirmed by usingisopropanol and butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) as •OH radical scavengers. It has been observed that rateof reaction is drastically reduced in the presence of these scavangers. Under similar conditions Fe2O3 hasalso been prepared. The efficiency of Fe2O3 and copper modified Fe2O3 has been compared for thephotocatalytic degradation of crystal violet.NN+NCl-Structure of crystal violet
