PS-HDODA Supported Cobalt (II) - as a Novel and Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst for Methylene Blue Decomposition from Synthetic Waste Water

Varkey JT, Antony A and Ajil PA

In the present endeavour PS-HDODA supported Co (II) as a novel heterogeneous catalyst system was developed. FTIR spectroscopy, CHNS analysis, ion exchange capacity measurements and Scanning electron microscopy were the various analytical methods used. The synthesised heterogeneous catalyst particles were of spherical morphology. To exemplify the advantages of this novel support, degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye was conducted using it. The degradation efficiency was found to be efficient and this support can be used for purification of waste water from dye industry.
