Özet
The improper disposal of wastewater from the textile industry is a crucial global challenge that addresses various adverse effects on the aquatic environment. Methylene blue (MB) is a thiazine dye most widely used as a textile dye. Since MB is entirely stable, this dyestuff is very difficult to degrade in nature. Hence, different physical, chemical, and biological treatment technologies, including adsorption electrocoagulation, and electrochemical have been utilized to remove MB from contaminated water. Among them, heterogeneous photocatalysis is a costeffective and sustainable method for the efficient breakdown of organic compounds into smaller and safer components without contributing to secondary contamination. For photocatalysis applications, TiO2, ZnO, and SnO2 are well-known semiconductors that play a vital role in mineralizing dyes into H2O and CO2 through the generation of reactive oxygen species. In this study, the structural and morphological differences of TiO2, ZnO, and SnO2 nanoparticles were determined by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, and Raman spectroscopy. The photocatalysts were investigated comparatively for the degradation of MB dye under UV light irradiation. The percent degradation of MB in the presence of TiO2 and ZnO was found to be 73% and 97%, respectively, within 60 min irradiation. This value was lower for SnO2 nanoparticles compared to TiO2 and ZnO photocatalysts.
