摘要

In this study, a Dinaphthophenazine (DNPz.) textile dye was subjected to degradation experiments to characterize its degradation rates and highlight the photocatalytic degradation effect of manganese (IV)oxide (MnO2) by comparing the kinetics of UV-induced degradation against MnO2–catalyzed photodegradation. Kinetic experiments were conducted by acquiring time-dependent wavelength scan absorption spectra at intervals using double-beam UV–Vis-NIR spectroscopy and a photo-cell setup. A multicurve kinetic profile plot analysis of the three experiments: exposure of DNPz to UV irradiation [DNPz. + UV irrad.], exposure of DNPz to MnO2 only [DNPz. + MnO2], and the exposure of DNPz to a similar dose of MnO2 in the presence of UV254 nm irradiation revealed a decrease in absorbance related to the DNPz molecule over time, indicating degradation of DNPz molecules under acidic conditions, pH 5.0 and at room temperature. A comparative analysis of the pseudo-first order degradation rates shows that exposure of DNPz to MnO2 in the presence of UV irradiation gave the most significant average rate constant, which is about 9.65 times faster than in the case of the UV-assisted photodegradation based on kinetics monitored using DNPz’s Lambda max. absorptions at 621 nm. This is due to the photocatalytic effect of MnO2. The exposure to MnO2 showed a marked increase in DNPz degradation rate that was about 3.31 times that of the average photodegradation rate recorded by exposure to UV254 nm irradiation only. These results show that MnO2 in the presence of UV254 nm can significantly enhance the degradation of the DNPz textile dye.
