Photocatalytic Effect of Nano BaO on Brilliant Green-a Cationic Dye

The photocatalytic characteristics of BaO metal oxide nanoparticles (Nps) were well studied against Brilliant Green dye and discussed. Solution combustion method was employed in the synthesis of BaO NPs. The average particle size of BaO NPs was analyzed with SEM and XRD methods. Effect of various parameters like diverse catalyst dosage, pH, dye concentration and different irradiations implied in the photo degradation of Brilliant Green (BG) dye were studied. The BaO NPs proved to be remarkable and 97.25% of colored solution of Brilliant Green dye degraded at a pH 4 and catalyst dosage of 0.8g/100 ml. The BaO nanoparticles proved to be very effective in photo-catalyzing Brilliant green and cost effective.
