The Composite of ZrO2-TiO2 Produced from Local Zircon Sand Used as A Photocatalyst for The Degradation of Methylene Blue in A Single Batik Dye Wastewater

Abstract: In this research, a composite of ZrO2-TiO2 was used as a photocatalyst in the degradation of dye wastewater. The dye waste water is a single Methylene Blue, MB, waste water from Batik industry. The ZrO2 was prepared from zircon sand founded from Bangka Island, Indonesia. The composite was prepared at various weight ratios and heat treated at 500 o C. The result shows that the purity of ZrO2 from zircon sand is only 66.46 %. However, the addition of ZrO2 into TiO2 is able to increase the photocatalytic activity… Show more

“…The rate constant calculation in Rhodamine B photodegradation under blue light irradiation was also investigated using the pseudofirst-order kinetics model [26][27], as follows the formula: ln (C0/C) = kt; where k is the rate Table 1, the photocatalytic reaction of Rhodamine B followed the pseudo-first-order-kinetics model. The rate constant of Ag3PO4, Ag3PO4-0.05, Ag3PO4-0.15, and Ag3PO4-0.30 photocatalyst are 0.144, 0.597, 0.498, and 0.342 min -1 , respectively.…”

“…Batik wastewater is usually obtained from the remaining water from the dyeing and washing process. This wastewater contains chemicals added during the process, such as dyes, starch, oil, wax, lye, and detergents [ 1 ]. These substances are generally non-biodegradable, so that they will accumulate in soil and water and cause environmental pollution.…”

“…Until now, the primary challenge has been to generate charge carriers using visible light rather than UV radiation. Different methodologies have been used to modify the TiO 2 absorption properties, such as doping with transition metals [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] or main group elements [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], and synthesize composites like ZrO 2 /TiO 2 , reducing the recombination of charge carriers by aligning the energy gaps [25,26]. Charge carriers act as oxidation and reduction centers, which enable the creation of reactive species such as hydroxyl radicals, peroxides, or acid compounds.…”
