POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF A LOCALLY SOURCED PHOTOCATALYST FOR THE PHOTOCATALYTIC DECOLOURISATION OF METHYL ORANGE IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION

Periwinkle shell ash (PSA) was investigated for its photocatalytic properties in decolourising methyl orange in aqueous solution. The effects of irradiation time, initial dye concentration and PSA dosage on the decolourisation process were investigated. The optimum values of the process variables we...
