ABSTRACT

Wastewater contamination is greatly impacted by the textile industry. The most prevalent contaminants are taken into account by conventional wastewater treatment techniques, although they are highly costly and frequently result in hazardous by-products. Advanced oxidation processes seem to be the most attractive to scientists, and heterogeneous photocatalysis is taken into consideration for the destruction of different harmful compounds in most published work. In this study, melamine was used as a precursor to synthesize metal- free graphitic carbon nitride (g- C3N4) by polycondensation process. Syntheized catalyst was used with Methylene blue, a model pollutant, for degrading using the photocatalytic qualities of immobilized g-C3N4 under simulated solar light irradiation. FTIR, XRD and UV spectroscopy analyses were used to characterize the photocatalyst. It was discovered that the photocatalytic breakdown of MB in an aqueous solution increased with longer irradiation times. Keywords: Photocatalysis, Graphitic Carbon Nitride (g-C3N4), Dye Degradation, methylene blue
