Photocatalysis of Chlorazole Black E Dyes Using Titanium Dioxide Doped With Iron (Fe-TiO2)

Fe-TiO2 catalyst was implemented for photo mineralization of chlorazole black E dye. Percentage conversion. 67.2% , 74.8% and 62.8% using 1%, 3% and 5% Fe-TiO2 under Visible light and 73.3%, 67.2% and 62.8% using 1%, 3% and 5% Fe-TiO2 under UV light after irradiation for 80 Minutes respectively. Fe-TiO2 under UV/Visible light has proven to be effective through the investigation which was synthesize through wet-impregnation, calcined and characterized to determine the group resulting from bond vibrations using FT-IR and crystalline phase of the catalyst via XRD pattern. It was then subjected to photo-degradation to optimize various experimental parameters such as effects of metal loads, light source and time. The obtained result are shown in decreasing order of activity 3% Fe-TiO2 > 1%Fe-TiO2 >5%Fe-TiO2. Which indicate that 3% Fe-TiO2 shows more photo-degradation at UV/Visible but does more better at visible region with respect to time.
