Dyestuffs are the materials which extensively used in the textile and other printing industries. The colour and toxicity which dyes impart to water bodies are very undesirable and harmful to the water users for aesthetic and environmental reasons. About 20% of the overall dye production of the world is discharged from various industries such as dyestuff manufacturing, dyeing, printing, and textile finishing. In this study, Methylene blue (MB) which is a cationic dye, used extensively for dying cotton, wool and silk is used. The risk of the existence of this dye in waste water may be arisen from the burns effect of eye, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The traditional treatment techniques are not a complete solution to the problem. So, Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP´s), like Photo-catalytic degradation processes with doped Fe-TiO2, could be a good option to treat and eliminate textile dyes. It has been studied that Photo-catalytic degradation of methylene blue and real dye wastewater over doped Fe-TiO2 in presence of light. The progress of the reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal for dye wastewater is also analyzed. The efficiency of two Catalyst I (Fe-doped TiO2) and Catalyst II (FeC-doped TiO2) is used for the removal of textile dye wastewater. The effects of some parameters affecting the rate of reaction, such as pH, dye concentration, amount catalyst, light intensity, contact time were also studied.
