摘要
Research on photocatalytic degradation rate of azo dyes using nano-strontium titanate in photocatalysis process was the main goal of present study. In this regard, the influence of the main operating parameters such a photocatalyst concentration, dye concentration, temperature, pH and the presence of hydrogen peroxide upon dye removal rate under UV irradiation was studied. The absorbance of samples was measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The structure and morphology of nano-powder were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and crystalline structure by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. The results reveal that nano-strontium titanate has high and significant photocatalytic activity and in comparison with nano-titanium dioxide was superior photocatalyst.
