The experimental results show that the photocatalytic degradation rate is favored by high concentration of dye in solution and is enhanced by the solution temperature. A simple kinetic model has been proposed which can describe the discoloration process in an adequate way. The calculated results obtained were in good agreement with experimental data. The model predicts the concentration of MO during the photocatalytic degradation process.展开更多

The conditions of photocatalytic degradation were optimized. Direct photocatalytic degradation of BPA was undertaken in an aqueous solution containing ZnO nanoparticles under the optimized experimental conditions. The effects of various factors, such as initial BPA concentrations, initial pH values and various anions (CI, NO3, COa2, SO42-, HCO3") were investigated. In the case of the nanoparticles derived films, the photocatalytic efficiency was found not to be remarkably related with the calcination temperature employed in the coating process. Screen-printed ZnO nanoparticles films obtained in the optimal processing conditions showed that the photocatalytic activity is comparable to ZnO nanoparticles in aqueous suspensions. Over 90% degradation efficiency of BPA was achieved under the optimum conditions. The degradation rates in all photocatalytic experiments were linear with the degradation efficiencies of BPA by regression analysis (r ≥ 0.99). The results showed that the degradation kinetics of BPA in the reactor with immobilized nano-ZnO film as photocatalyst was in agreement with a pseudo-first order rate law.展开更多
