Abstract

The photocatalytic efficiency of prepared Bismuth Oxide (Bi2O3) nano catalyst investigated against color induced by Fast Red acid dye. The Bi2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by a simple solution combustion method and the average powder size of the obtained Bi2O3 nanoparticles was determined by SEM and XRD analysis. The research work was done to determine the influencing parameters like, optimum catalyst dosage, pH of the dye solution, effect of sunlight irradiation and effect of dye concentration. The treatment with prepared Bi2O3 nanoparticle proved to be very efficient in removing the colour (~ 95.02%) at pH 10 and 0.8g/100ml of catalyst dose. The Bi2O3 nanoparticle was found to be an effective and low cost photocatalyst by degrading Fast Red acid dye in presence of sunlight.
