Photodegradation of Reactive Black-5 in Photoreactors using TiO2 Immobilized on a Glass Tube
E-mail:
The photodegradation experiments of a dye, reactive black 5 (C.I. 20505), were performed in batch- and continuous-flow-type reactors using TiO2-immobilized glass tubes to investigate the effects of the TiO2 film thickness, pH, feed rate, and aeration on the removal efficiency in the presence of both ferric ion and H2O2. The photocatalytic reaction with respect to the initial concentration can be explained by a reaction rate having an apparent first-order equation. The rate constant (K) increased with increasing TiO2 film thickness up to 5.29 μm, which we obtained by dip coating three times. The rate constants at pH 3.5 were 0.19, 0.27, 0.50, and 0.32 /h, for films that had seen coated once, twice, three times, and four times, respectively. The photodegradation rate of reactive black 5 dye was 0.33 /h higher at pH 3 (0.33 /h) than at pH 9 (0.20 /h). The rate constants were 0.27, 032, 0.28, and 0.28 at feed rates of 60, 120, 180, and 240 mL/min, respectively. The rate at 120 mL/min was higher than those at the other feed rates, because the photodegradation capability decreased as a result of a wash-out effect overriding an optimal feed rate. Rate constants increased from 0.26 to 0.27, 0.29, and 0.31 /h as the air flow rate increased from 1, to 3, 5, and 10 mL/min, respectively.
