Abstract

In this research, we discuss the removal of malachite green dye by strontium hydroxyapatite supported BiOCl.  A modified hydrolysis model, one can synthesise BiOCl/SrHA. BiOCl/SrHA was characterized using  Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible (UV-vis) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy diffraction X-ray (EDX),  and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM outcome confirmed the dispersion of BiOCl onto strontium hydroxyapatite. The shape of the BiOCl catalytic samples overlapped with each other to form 3D hierarchical flower-like structures. The UV-visible was used as a radiation source during photocatalysis.  BiOCl/SrHA had an effect on malachite green dye degradation. The oxidative removal occurred through hydroxyl radical formation. UV-visible (UV-vis) /BiOCl/SrHA showed perfect photocatalytic property for the decay of malachite green (MG) from an aqueous solution. According to kinetics analysis, the dye degradation rates could be in a pseudo-first-order model.
