Use of Lead Chromate for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue

Kavita Ameta, Anugya Porwal, K. L. Ameta and Suresh C. Ameta

The photocatalytic degradation of Methylene blue has been studied in the presence of lead chromate as a photocatalyst. The effect of different parameters like pH, concentration of Methylene blue, amount of lead chromate and light intensity on the rate of degradation was observed. A tentative mechanism for this reaction has been proposed involving oxidation by hydroperoxyl radical.
