The Use of a Nanoscale Copper Catalyst in the Catalytic Decomposition of Water Polluted with Organic Dyes

Samia A. Kosa

Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

A supported copper catalyst was used as a catalyst for the decomposition of organic dyes using a commercial chlorinating agent. The catalytic process achieved complete decomposition in only 2 min. Different catalyst to dye concentration ratios is studied to determine the optimal conditions. The catalyst is fully characterized using XRD, SEM, and EDX analysis.
