Fate of nitrogen atoms in the photocatalytic degradation of industrial (congo red) and alimentary (amaranth) azo dyes. Evidence for mineralization into gaseous dinitrogen
The photocatalytic degradation of two azo-dyes–an industrial one (Congo Red (CR)), and an alimentary one (Amaranth (AM))–has been investigated in TiO2/UV aqueous suspensions. In addition to a prompt removal of the colors, TiO2/UV-based photocatalysis was simultaneously able to fully oxidize the dyes...
