Photocatalytic Decolorization of Tartrazine Using Periwinkle Shell Ash: Effect of Operational Variables, Kinetic and Isotherm Study

Abstract: The potential of a locally sourced material, periwinkle shell ash (PSA), has been explored as an effective photocatalyst for the photocatalytic decolorization of tartrazine in aqueous solution. The effect of operational variables such as irradiation time, initial dye concentration and catalyst loading on the extent of decolorization was investigated. The results show that the optimum levels of the variables were 50 minutes, 30 mg/L and 5 g/L for irradiation time, initial dye concentration and catalyst loading … Show more

“…Among these dyes, azo dyes constitute the largest and the most important class of commercial dyes. Azo dyes are widely used in the textile, plastic, leather, and paper industries as additives [3][4][5]. The removal of azo dyes from the aquatic environment is important because many azo dyes are toxic to aquatic organisms [6].…”

“…However, activated carbon is cost prohibitive and neither the regeneration nor the disposal of used carbon is straightforward. There are many low-cost adsorbents such as banana peel, orange peel, bagasse pith, rice husk, sawdust, coir fibres, and periwinkle shell ash [17][18][19] which are abundantly available in nature. In the present work, low cost papaya leaf (Carica papaya L.) powder has been studied as an adsorbent to remove Reactive Red 3BS from aqueous solution.…”
