Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue by Magnetite+H2O2+UV Process

Abstract

The photocatalytic degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) dye has been investigated by locally available Magnetite with H 2 O 2. Parameters such as Magnetite dosage, concentration of dye pH effect, light intensity and oxidizing agent (H 2 O 2) were used to study the degradation of MB. The degradation rates were found to be strongly influenced by all the above parameters. The Magnetite/ H 2 O 2 /UV process proved to be capable of decolorizing Methylene Blue.
