Effect of pH on the photo-Fenton degradation of rhodamine B by Prussian blue/g-C3N4

Trang Thuy Thi Phan, Lan Thi Nguyen

Abstract


The pH solution is one of the critical factors affecting the photo-Fenton degradation of dyes in wastewater. The photoactivity of Prussian blue/g-C3N4 was investigated using the photodegradation of RhB acidic, neutral, and essential medium. The results implicated that more than 98.5% removal of RhB was achieved at pH = 3.62 after irradiation for 60 minutes under visible light. The photocatalytic activity of Prussian blue/g-C3N4 showed the best performance in an acidic medium. This is due to the formation of hydroxyl radicals during the photocatalytic degradation of RhB. Thus, this study has shown the role and potential of the application of photocatalysts in the degradation of toxic organic compounds the wastewater.
