Abstract
The photocatalytic degradation of Evanâs blue was carried out using graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as a photocatalyst. The effect of various parameters such as amount of catalyst, pH, light intensity and concentration of the dye has been studied on the rate of reaction. It was observed that this photocatalytic process followed pseudo-first order kinetics. The optimum conditions for degradation of Evans blue were achieved as: pH 9.5, [Evans blue] 1.00 x 104 M, g-C3N4 0.10 g and light intensity 60.0 mW cm2.
