Fig. 1 Molecular structure of Procion red dye
3.2 Materials
The effluent was collected from a local dyeing industry. The dye house recipe is
given below.
3.2.1 Dye Characteristics
Form—Powder. Color—Red.
Odor–—Odorless.
Solubility (Water)—80 g/l (at RT).
pH (value)—6.0–8.0 (Fig. 1).
3.2.2 Catalysts Used
Titanium-Di-oxide: Titanium-Di-oxide was sourced from the laboratory house of
the industry.
RGOT: Reduced graphene oxide was synthesized by doping Titanium-Di-oxide
and the resultant doped catalyst, namely RGOT was used for the above process.
3.2.3 Instruments Used
pH Meter
The pH of the solution was monitored using a digital pH meter. pH was adjusted
using HCL solution for making it neutral and basic, respectively. The meter was
calibrated using a buffer solution periodically (Fig. 2).
