Photodegradation of aniline blue and crystal violet dyes from aqueous solutions of their binary mixture was carried out using TiO2 as photocatalyst. By carrying out photodegradation, varying the experimental parameters, the optimum conditions required for maximum degradation was found out. The photodegradation of dye was carried out using different sources of energy like solar radiation and microwave radiation. The degradation studies were carried out at temperatures 25 ℃, 35 ℃ and 45 ℃ so as to calculate the rate constant and activation parameters. Both energy sources are equivalent in causing degradation in all respects except time and dose of photo catalyst. Time required is less for microwave than solar radiation, but dose of photo catalyst needed was high for microwave radiation. These results will be helpful in designing effluent treatment plants in industries.展开更多
