Abstract

In this study, the Tin oxide doped Zinc Oxide (TZO) photo catalyst was fabricated using drop by drop method, an effective route to produce novel nano TZO which will enhance the photocatalytic decolorization of Basic Violet 10 dye. The structural and surface morphology were investigated using techniques such as XRD, SEM, and EDAX. In this study, the degradation of basic violet 10 dye had been carried out in the presence of sunlight. It was observed that the prepared TZO photocatalyst was very effective in degrading the dye entirely within a short period (120 minutes). The influence of operating parameters on basic violet 10 including the amount of photocatalyst, dye concentration, H2O2 concentration and temperature were thoroughly examined. The kinetic study revealed that the degradation of photocatalytic reaction showed pseudo-first-order kinetics.
