“…The dye irritates the gastrointestinal tract if ingested and causes methemoglobinemia, cyanosis, convulsions, tachycardia, and dyspnea if inhaled. 2,5 Several treatment processes such as biodegradation 6 , bioremediation 7 , adsorption 8,9 , and photocatalytic degradation [10][11][12] are currently used in methylene blue removal from wastewater. Among these methods, photocatalytic degradation has a high potential to develop further for its rapid degradation rate, mineralization of dyes to green products, and reduction of the toxicity of dyes.…”

Zinc oxide was incorporated into natural zeolite (ZnO-NZ) by cation exchange followed by co-precipitation and calcination processes. The effect of the amount of ZnO loaded in the zeolite framework on the properties and photoactivity was studied. The resulted photocatalysts were characterized and were examined their photodegradation efficiency for methylene blue (MB) degradation under ultraviolet light. The results showed that ZnO was successfully incorporated and well distributed into the zeolite frameworks. The ZnO-NZ photocatalysts showed a higher specific surface area and wider bandgap than the bare ZnO. The photodegradation activity of ZnO-NZ for MB is twice as high as the bare ZnO. Moreover, the photodegradation activity for MB depends on the amount of ZnO loaded in the ZnO-NZ. Optimum MB photodegradation of 83.05% was obtained by using ZnO-NZ having 6.1% of ZnO fraction.
