Photocatalytic Degradation of Indigo Carmine Dye Using Calcium Oxide
Table 2
The effect of irradiation of different light sources on the percentage of degradation of indigo carmine dye solution using calcium oxide.
| Photocatalyst | Light source | Contact time (min) (pH of dye solution is 9-10) | Percentage of degradation (dye at pH 9-10) | Contact time (min) (pH of dye solution is 12) | Percentage of degradation of dye (pH 9-10) |
| 0.12 g calcium oxide | Visible | 70 | 95.4 | 150 | 100 | Long UV | 60 | 98.4 | 100 | 100 | Short UV | 30 | 98.48 | 90 | 100 |
