The degradation of methylene blue was carried out by photolysis method with the help of a Cdots/Au catalyst. This study aims to determine the optimum concentration of dopen Au for Cdots and the optimum time for degradation of methylene blue with the help of a Cdots/Au catalyst. The photolysis method was carried out in a reactor equipped with 3 15 watt lamps with a UV wavelength of 254 nm. The absorption of methylene blue was measured using a spectrophotometerUV-Vis. The optimum Au dopen results were obtained at a concentration of 25 ppm with a degradation percentage of 39.94% and the optimum time for photolysis degradation was 6 hours of irradiation with a degradation percentage of 70.28%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
