COMPARISON OF EFFICIENCY OF APM AND MNO2 BY PHOTOCATALYTICAL DEGRADATION OF AZURE-B BASED ON QUALITY PARAMETER MODIFICATION

Abstract

This paper describes the comparison of photocatalytical activity of Ammonium Phosphomolybdate(APM) and Manganese(IV) Oxide  forphotocatalytic degradation of Azure-B. This study is based on modificationsin quality parameters which take place during optimum photocatalytic degradation of Azure-B contaminated water using two hetrocatalystAmmonium Phosphomolybdate and Manganese(IV) Oxide separately. Various quality parameterslike pH, Alkalinity, Hardness, COD, BOD, DO, Conductivity, Salinity, TDS, and Concentration of  Ca⁺², Mg⁺², Cl^-, F^-, NO₃^-, SO₄^-2 and turbidity were used for comparison.
