ABSTRACT

The present study involves the degradation of Hydroxynaphthol blue dye using Syzygium Cumini seed husk powder as a green and cost effective photocatalyst. The Syzygium Cumini seed husk powder was characterized by various investigative techniques including Fourier Transform Infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The Photocatalytic efficiency of Syzygium Cumini seed husk powder was investigated for the degradation of Hydroxynaphthol blue dye using visible light irradiation. The recyclability of Syzygium Cumini seed husk powder was also studied for the degradation and the results obtained have been discussed. Keywords: Photocatalyst, Hydroxynaphthol blue dye, Recyclability. Abbreviations: SCSHP = Syzygium Cumini seed husk powder
