Abstract
A study of the photocatalytic activity of commercial and mechanically activated zinc oxide powders has been carried out based on the example of the decomposition of Brilliant Green. The goal of this work was to study the effect of the grinding time (0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 min) on the structure of zinc oxide and its photocatalytic activity under visible and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It has been found that, when UV radiation is used, the constant of the dye oxidation rate for samples activated for 1 min increases compared with unactivated powders, whereas further mechanical activation leads to a decrease in the photocatalytic activity. When using visible radiation, samples activated for 1 min showed the minimum photocatalytic activity and further mechanical activation led to an increase in the efficiency of photocatalysis.
