Abstract:

The present work describes the fabrication of a hybrid material made of nanoscale titanium dioxide (TiO2) and bamboo charcoal (BC) through calcination and the investigation of its decolorization effects on simulated textile wastewater containing the acidic dye C.I. Acid Red 266 solution. The parameters contributing to the photocatalytic decolorization of C.I. Acid Red 266 solution were the concentration of the hybrid-material solution, the proportion of nanoscale TiO2 and BC in the hybrid material, the change in the pH of the dye solution, and the reaction time under ultraviolet irradiation. The decolorization of C.I. Acid Red 266 by the hybrid material was measured with an ultraviolet spectrometer. The experimental results demonstrated that decolorization was optimal when the pH of the dye solution was 4 and the proportion of the nanoscale TiO2and BC in the hybrid material was 2:8. The TiO2 in the hybrid material induced a photocatalytic reaction with the dye, adding to the effects attained by the decolorization ability of the BC material.
