PHOTODEGRADATION OF DYE REACTIVE BLUE160 (RB160) IN PRESENCE OF STRONTIUM CHROMATE

MONIKA DADHEECH AND B.V. KABRA

Abstract

The textile industries produce wastewater containing toxic synthetic organic compounds like dyes. In this work the photodegradation of dye Reactive Blue160 in aqueous solution with SrCrO4 as a photocatalyst has been investigated using visible light. The effect of various parameters such as pH, concentration of Dye solution, catalyst loading. Degradation has been determined by spectrophotometer at 560 nm. A tentative mechanism also has been proposed for the photocalaytic degradation of Dye.
