Publishing a Scientific Research

The lecturer Dr. (Enaam Joda Radhi) from the Department of Chemistry at the College of Education for Pure Sciences, published a research entitled (Photo Catalytic Degradation of Textile Dyes: Model of the Main Reasons for Positive and Negative Results). In the journal (Pure Sciences International Journal of Kerbala)
Where the research aimed to study the process of photocatalytic use of light energy to drive chemical processes, the photodegradation of wastewater is usually viewed as a green technology that can help humanity address the pressing environmental and energy issues facing human society.
The research also included studying the ability of the textile sector’s wastewater to be heavily polluted with toxic chemicals and colors that are currently present, and organic pollutants, such as wastewater containing dyes, can be reduced using a process called photocatalytic decolorization. The photocatalytic decolorization of aqueous solutions of methylene blue dye in the presence of TiO2 was studied using an artificial A-UV light source, and the effects of various factors, such as catalyst mass (weight effect), MB dye concentration, and light intensity measurement, were also studied. The study found that color was removed in the absence of catalyst or light radiation. The decolorization process of the dye follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. This study used UV-Vis spectroscopy to explore the photodegradation of methylene blue dye by TiO2 under UV irradiation, and then the positive and negative results were compared by the researchers.
