Abstract
Due to the lack of studies regarding the
potential of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as capping agent in precipitation of zinc
oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, this research focused on the performance of ZnO
nanoparticles with presence of PVP loading on photocatalytic degradation
treatment for industrial dye wastewater. Three different samples of ZnO-PVP
were successfully synthesized via precipitation method. The degradation rate of dye approached 90.61%
under pH7 in the presence of ZnO-PVP (0.025g/L of PVP). The chemical bonds in
ZnO-PVP was analysed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).
Keywords: zinc oxide, polyvinylpyrrolidone,
photocatalytic, nanoparticles, wastewater treatment
Abstrak
Oleh kerana
kekurangan kajian mengenai potensi polivinilpirolidon (PVP) sebagai ejen
penutup dalam mendakan nanopartikel zink oksida (ZnO), kajian ini memberi
tumpuan kepada prestasi nanopartikel ZnO dengan kehadiran muatan PVP dalam rawatan penguaraian fotopemangkinan air sisa industri pewarna. Tiga sampel ZnO-PVP
yang berlainan telah berjaya disintesis melalui kaedah pemendakan. Kadar
degradasi pewarna menghampiri 90.61% di bawah pH 7 bagi ZnO-PVP (PVP sebanyak
0.025 g/L). Ikatan kimia ZnO-PVP telah dianalisis menggunakan spektroskopi inframerah
transformasi Fourier (FTIR).
Kata kunci: zink oksida,
polivinilpirolidon, fotopemangkinan, nanopartikel, rawatan air sisa
