Removal of Cadmium (Ii) Using A New Photo Catalyst Srwo4 – A Photo Catalytic Remedy for Purification of Water
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The Contamination of water by toxic heavy metals is a world-wide environmental problem. Cadmium, in particular, is found toxic and of enormous harm because of its tendency to accumulate in the tissues of living organisms. The goal of this research is to treat low concentration cadmium bearing water using photo catalysis technique. Present work incorporates the removal of Cd (II) using SrWO4 as a semiconductor. The progress of reaction is observed spectrophotometrically. The effect of variation of different parameters like pH, concentration of cadmium (II), amount of photocatalyst, light intensity etc. on the rate of reaction was observed. A tentative mechanism for the reaction is proposed.
