Abstract:
In this work, the photocatalytic degradation of Azure A by heterogeneous photocatalytic process using Calcium oxide (CaO) as semiconductor has been investigated. The effect of various parameters such as catalyst loading, pH, light intensity and concentration of the dye has been studied on the rate of reaction. Kinetic studies reveal that the photocatalytic process follows pseudo-first order kinetics. A tentative mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation of Azure A was proposed.
