Abstract

Organic pollutants are present in industrial wastewater treatment procedures and heavy metal ion removal is hard. Photo Fenton reaction activity was employed in this study to decompose the organic pollutants using a functional composite hydrogel. TiO2 nanoparticles, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and polyeugenol (PE) make up the hydrogel composite. It is made from rGO/TiO2 and is made using the precipitation technique. rGO is made from graphite using the Hummers process and it has remarkable mechanical strength and Photo-Fenton activity as a result of various breakdown data that were influenced differently such as pH, H2O2 concentration, dye concentration, temperature and irradiation duration. The morphology of the composite and the average diameter were studied by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The degradation of Rhodmaine B (RB) dye by rGO/TiO2/PE hydrogel composite reached 100% after 60 min under UV irradiation. This research proposes a new method for processing high-consistency industrial wastewater which was difficult to degrade.
