Application of Nano-Copper – Substituted Lead Zirconate as Surface Catalyst for Oxidative Degradation of Organic Dye

ABSTRACT
The oxidative decomposition reactions of fuchsine dye on the surface of nano-catalyst
Cu0.5Pb0.5ZrO3 were studied carefully in an aqueous solution in the presence of H2O2 under condition
of pseudo-first order reaction. The catalyst was prepared by solid state route using pure nominal
composition of metal oxides. The structural and micro-structural properties of the catalyst were
characterized well by XRD, SEM and AFM respectively. Many of the kinetic parameters were
investigated in this article, results obtained indicated that, the rate of oxidative degradation of acid
fuchsine dye was found to be pH-dependent. The mechanism was proposed and the activation
parameters were calculated.
