USE OF BI2S3 AS A PHOTOCATALYST FOR PHOTOCATALYTICDEGRADATION OF TEXTILE AZO DYE REACTIVE BLUE 160 (RB160)

DIMPLE SHARMA AND K.S. MEENA

Abstract

In apparel industries removal of the color of dye is one of the main problem. In the current worksemiconductor photo-catalyst Bi2S3 utilized in photo catalytic decolorizing of textile azo dyeReactive Blue 160 under UV light. Spectrophotometric measurements of the reaction rate weremade. It has been investigated how many variables, including dye concentration, photocatalystquantity, and pH, affect reaction efficiency.
