Abstract:
Herein, we report the photo degradation of Methyl Violet 2B (MV2B) dye using Ni/ZnO catalyst. For this purpose, Ni/ZnO catalyst was prepared by modified wet incipient impregnation method. The catalyst was characterized via different techniques such as EDX, SEM, XRD and SAA. The catalyst was found to have spherical and rod-shaped morphology with an average particle size of 229-980 nm. Chemical composition was found matching with the precursors in EDX analysis. XRD showed the crystallinity and phase distribution between Ni and ZnO in the catalyst. The photo catalyst was then used for the degradation of MV2B. UV radiation was used as a light source. Various parameters such as catalyst dose, irradiation time, pH and dye concentration were optimized before the experiments. It was found that the dye was degraded up to 92.83% in 120 minutes with the catalyst dose of 300mg. The present study is proposed to be useful in the treatment of wastewater contaminated by various dyes that are leaching out from various industries
