This study focuses on the photocatalytic oxidation of two reactive dyes (Black 5 and Orange 16) under important operating conditions such as the initial dye concentration, pH, temperature, the intensity of UV lamp, and TiO2 dosage. The kinetic data of reactive dyes in TiO2 photocatalytic reactor follow a pseudo-first-order model. As expected, the oxidation efficiency increased with temperature, TiO2 dosage, and light intensity while decreased with the initial dye concentrations and pH. It was also found that the removal efficiency of reactive dyes was over 99% under the optimal conditions determined in this work. |
