Abstract:
Present study deals with the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B dye in presence of TiO2 nanoparticles. The photocatalytic activity investigation has been carried out by performing the decomposition of rhodamine-B dye under UV illumination over as- synthesized TiO2 Nanoparticles. In this work the progress of the reaction has been studied kinetically by measuring absorbance of the reaction mixture at various time intervals using Spectrophotometer. The control experiments have also been performed in different conditions. Control experiments confirm the necessity of light, semiconductor catalyst and oxygen to follow the photocatalytic path to proceed the photobleaching of dye. Kinetic analysis of degradation indicates that the degradation follows the first order kinetics. Effect of various metal ions (Zn+2, Fe +2,Cu +2) has also been studied. result ravels that addition of various metal ions reduce the photocatalytic efficiency of the rhodamine B dye.
