Description
Summary:The photocatalytic decolorisation of CI Reactive Black5 using titanium dioxide nanopowder as a catalyst was studied and the results obtained are discussed in terms of its decolorisation efficiency. All experiments were performed using a double-walled quartz immersion well batch reactor in which the slurry form of the reactants was at its natural pH of 5.1. The performance of titanium dioxide nanopowder (size
