The photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange and Congo red dye was performed under the illumination of visible light (Philips 250Watt) as a source of photons. The complete distraction of the aromatic ring was ascertained by UV spectroscopic analysis. A decrease in dye concentration and an increase in the concentration of CO2 indicate dye mineralization. The behavior of this reaction was pseudo-first-order and the maximum photodecolorization efficiency was ~85.16% for Methyl orange and ~ 95.40 for Congo red in 120-150 min. at 30oC.
