Triclinic ZnMoO4 catalyst for atmospheric pressure non-thermal pulsating corona plasma degradation of reactive dye; role of the catalyst in plasma degradation process

• ?-ZnMoO 4 catalyst was synthesized electrochemically, followed by thermal treatment. Catalyst used in atmospheric pressure corona plasma degradation of reactive dye. enhanced plasma-generated H 2 O decomositon into dye-degrading ·OH radicals. Dye pseudo-first order kinetics. TOC removal 85.4% after 180 min the Microcrystalline for Reactive Black 5 self-made open air pulsating reactor electrodeposition, The effect electrodeposition current density on catalyst’ characteristics examined SEM, EDX, FTIR XRD and TG. decolourization rate 7.5 times. role consumption generated dye details first time to best our knowledge; generation ?OH radical, a principle reagent, enhancing decomposition plasma–generated . excitation mostly proceeded strikes active species accelerated electric field, which transferred their energy catalyst, causing creation electron – holes pairs attacked Decolourization pseudo increases with increase discharge input voltage. ratio between cylindrical cell’s diameter liquid level it didn’t affect rate. Relatively high yield 1.86 gkWh ?1 achieved 50% decolourization.
