Photocatalytic Degradation of Rhodamine B Dye in Wastewater Using Gelatin/CuS/PVA Nanocomposites under Solar Light Irradiation

“…Rhodamine B is also an important representative of xanthene dyes, and it is usually used as a dye laser material because of its good stability. In recent years, there are many research works focusing on the degradation mechanism of RhB [11] [12] [13], most of them are concerned the mechanism under visible illumination, and N-de-ethylation of RhB is the main degradation mechanism. Therefore, the control against dye wastewater pollution is an important issue to tackle throughout the world.…”

Investigation of the photocatalytic efficiency of tantalum alkoxy carboxylate-derived Ta2O5 nanoparticles in rhodamine B removal

“…The photocatalytic degradation of RhB was modeled with the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism, which is most commonly used to explain the kinetics of heterogeneous photocatalytic reaction [30]. It is expressed as follows:…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Au@TiO₂ NWs and their Catalytic Activity by Water Splitting: A Comparative Study with Degussa P25

“…The synthesis of the TiO 2 NWs was made following the method described by Cotto et al (2013). In a typical synthesis, 50 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 50 mL of deionized water were mixed in a 200 mL Erlenmeyer flask.…”
