Abstract EN
This study explains the effect of adsorption on dye degradation using bovine serum alum and ZnWO4 based nanocomposite (BSA-ZnWO4).
The synthesis of BSA-ZnWO4 was performed by a hydrothermal method involving the encapsulation of ZnWO4 with BSA.
BSA-ZnWO4 was characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, and UV-Vis spectral techniques.
The photocatalytic experiments were performed under solar light.
The dye removal was investigated under different reaction conditions.
The photocatalytic efficiency of solar/BSA-ZnWO4 process was higher compared to solar/ZnWO4, dark/BSA-ZnWO4, solar/BSA, dark/ZnWO4, and solar light systems.
The simultaneous adsorption and photodegradation process (A + P) was the most efficient process due to rapid destruction of adsorbed dye molecules.
BSA-ZnWO4 showed superior degradation efficiency and reusability over ZnWO4 for MB degradation.
