Abstract

The increase of textile factories, along with the continuous development of industrialization has led to excessive discharge of high toxicity wastewater along with a diverse range of contaminants in wastewater. In this regard, to reduce their operating costs and treatment time, in this work, two synthesized nanostructures, TiO2/Na-Y zeolite and BiVO4/Na-Y zeolite was compared to remove acid orange 10 (AO10) from the aqueous solutions. The obtained optimum operating conditions including initial dye concentration, initial pH, contact time, catalyst dosage and AO10 removal efficiency were 20 mg/L, 3, 7 min, 0.2 g/100 mL, and 99.77% for TiO2/Na-Y zeolite and 20 mg/L, 3, 200 min, 0.2 g/100 mL and 46.13% for BiVO4/Na-Y zeolite composite, respectively. The structural characteristics of the synthetized materials were also determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). © 2021 The Authors
