Abstract

Methylene blue is a synthetic dye known to be harmful to aquatic environments. Therefore, efforts are needed to minimize methylene blue waste. This study focuses on degrading methylene blue through photocatalysis, a method chosen for its affordability and ease of use. The photocatalyst used is hydroxyapatite (HAp) derived from limestone (CaCO3) doped with zinc ions (Zn2+). This combination enhances the efficiency of breaking down dye molecules in liquid waste. The photocatalytic performance was tested under three variations: solution concentration, contact time, and pH, using an 8-watt UV lamp for specified durations. Solution absorbance was measured using a Shimadzu 1800 UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Optimal conditions for methylene blue photodegradation by Zn-doped HAp were achieved at 67.2% efficiency for 5 ppm concentration, 16.125% for 120 minutes of irradiation, and 34.86% at pH 7. Additionally, the study included an analysis of adsorption isotherm models for concentration variation and kinetic adsorption analysis for time variation. The Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherm models were found to be most suitable with an R2 = 1. The photodegradation kinetics model followed pseudo second-order kinetics with an R2 = 0.990.

Abstract

The use of dyes in the textile industry has increased significantly, raising concerns about their potential to pollute the environment and harm human health. Methylene blue is a widely used synthetic dye, necessitating effective methods for its degradation. Photodegradation is a promising approach to decompose dyes into simpler, less harmful compounds. In this study, hydroxyapatite combined with ZnO was employed as a photocatalyst material to enhance photocatalytic performance. The research aims to degrade methylene blue using a Hydroxyapatite/ZnO (HAp/ZnO) nanocomposite through photodegradation. The optimization of the photodegradation process was investigated by varying irradiation time, methylene blue concentration, and pH. The optimum degradation of methylene blue was achieved using 20 mg of HAp/ZnO nanocomposite at an irradiation time of 120 minutes, an initial methylene blue concentration of 5 ppm, and pH 7. Adsorption isotherm modeling revealed that the process followed the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) of 0.3353 mg/g. The degradation followed pseudo-second-order kinetics with a reaction rate constant of 4.0026×105 L/mol·s.
