Abstract

A set of photocatalytic-ultrafiltration separation reactor for the degradation of acid blue 7 by using nanoparticle TiO2 as photocatalyst has been designed. The experimental results showthat the well degradation effects of dye wastewaters are achieved by this reactor and TiO2 particle can be separated from water successfully. The results obtained from influencing parameters of photocatalytic membrane reactor′s kinetic studies indicates that the rate increases from 0.0708min-1 to 0.151 5 min-1 with increasing cross-flow velocity ranging from 0.45 m/s to 1.06 m/s. The optimum TiO2 dosage is 0.5 g/L. The increase in the initial dye concentration from 5 mg/L to 25 mg/L can decrease the degradation rate constant from 0.162 5 min-1 to 0.053 0 min-1. Being aerated with industrial grade oxygen in the experiment can get the best removal results. The pH values have substantial effect on the degradation of acid blue 7,particularly at pH 2.
