Abstract

Photocatalytic degradation of dyes and other organic pollutants is an effectively pursued research exercise mainly from the last few years. The variable parameters considered are the concentration of dye solution, the pH of dye solution, amount of the catalyst used and intensity and source of applied light for degradation studies of dye. A tentative mechanism for the reaction has been proposed.

Keywords: Photocatalytic Degradation, Zinc Oxide, Barium Chromate, Crystal Violet Dye.
