Abstract

In this study, we have done evaluation of photocatalyst and ozone effect on chilies. The photocatalyst thin film was made by Ag doped zinc oxide (ZnO). The film was evaluated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and UV-Vis for crystall stucture, morphology and optical band gap analysis. XRD result showed that the film has hexagonal wurtzite structure with crystallite size about 19.93 nm. From SEM result, morphology of film was not homogen and there were a lot of pores. From UV-Vis measurement, we could calculate the optical band gap of film about 3.081 eV.  The chilies that used is hot peppers. They were washed by water from ZnO:Ag photocatalyst and ozone treatment. Time for water treatment was adjusted for 0, 15, 30 and 45 min. We have done monitoring on loss of mass of the chilies. The result showed that  15 min sample showed better result than other sample. In this sample, the chilies had smallest change of loss mass in 13 day observation. Keywords : Photocatalyst, ozone, chilies.

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to synthesize and to characterize a single and a double layer ZnO and ZnO/ZnO:Ag thin films and their application for degradation of direct blue 71. Double layer (DL) thin films of zinc oxide and silver-doped zinc oxide (ZnO/ZnO:Ag) were deposited on the substrate glass by using sol-gel spray coating technique. Ag doping variations (2, 4, 6 and 8 %mol) into ZnO were studied. X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and UV-Vis spectrophotometer were used to analyze structure and optical properties of thin films. Direct Blue 71 (DB71) was used for photocatalytic evaluation under UV light irradiation. XRD result showed that all prepared thin films have wurtzite structure with better crytalinity compared to double layer preparation and increasing concentration of Ag doping. UV-Vis transmittance spectra showed that decreasing of transparency of films followed by DL preparation and Ag doping concentration. By using envelope method, energy gap of films can be determined. ZnO/ZnO:Ag 6% (DL 6%) indicated the smallest energy gap 3,038 eV. The highest DB71 degradation result under UV light irradiation was reached by DL 6% with 55.43% and 8.56 x 10-3 min-1 for photocatalytic efficiency and photodegradation rate, respectively.
