Abstract

The effluent of Rhodamine B (RhB) from industries causes a high impact toward contamination of the environment. Photocatalytic degradation has become a promising destructive technique to remove those dye from industrial. In this study, Silver/graphitic carbon nitride (Ag/g-C₃N₄) prepared using simplistic preparation using microwave irradiation in its place of normal calcination under furnace as heating media. The prepared photocatalyst was characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), N₂ adsorption-desorption, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-VIS/DRS). The deposited of Ag on g-C₃N₄ surface photocatalyst enhanced capability to extend the adsorption of visible light region. The texture of g-C₃N₄ affected after deposited with Ag and the bandgap energy of Ag/g-C₃N₄ narrowed from 2.7 eV to 2.31 eV significantly boosting and improved the efficiency of degradation RhB under visible light irradiation. The additional Ag on g-C₃N₄ revealed highest performance (98%) using RhB solution after exposed under visible light for 180 min. As a result, this works can give benefit to purify the effluent of toxic dyes as wastewater treatment.
