Treatment of industries wastewater using solar light

Abstract

The degradation of eosin yellow dye using ZnO as a photo catalysts in a slurry reactor exposed to solar light was studied by this paper . The optimum values of different parameters versus catalyst concentration, catalyst type and initial concentration of the substrate affecting the degradation rate of eosin yellow dye were obtained by varying catalyst concentration (255-1255 ppm), and initial dye concentration (25-100 ppm). Color disappearance as well as substrates with the depletion of total organic carbon content was monitored.
