PHOTOCATALYTIC DEGRADTION OF AZO AND RHODAMINE DYES USING NANOSTRUCTURED COPPER (II) OXIDE

ABSTRACT Organic dye pollutants are sometimes released into the environment with wastewater from industries which make use of such dyes. In surface water, they contaminate the surrounding environment while their residue accumulates on land. These chemicals are noted for their toxicity to living organisms and they can cause cancers in human beings. In this study a relatively simple, long term and cost effective remedy for dye pollution reduction was developed; with a focus on the use of semico...
