Popis: In the current study, Bismuth molybdate was synthesized using simple co-precipitation procedure, and their characterization was carried out by various methods such as FT-IR, SEM, and P-XRD. Furthermore, the photocatalytic degradation of Orange G (ORG) dye using synthesized catalyst under visible light irradiation was studied. Response surface Method was used for the optimization of process variables and degradation kinetics evaluated by modeling of experimental data. Based on the experimental design outcomes, the first-order model was proven as a practical correlation between selected factors and response. Further ANOVA analysis has revealed that only two out of six factors have a significant effect on ORG degradation, however ORG concentration and irradiation time indicated the significant effects sequentially. Maximum ORG degradation of approximately 96% was achieved by keeping process parameters in range, such as 1 g L−1 loading of catalyst, 50 mg L−1 concentration of ORG, 1.4 mol L−1 concentration of H2O2 at pH 7 and a temperature of 30 °C. Kinetics of ORG degradation followed the pseudo first order, and almost complete degradation was achieved within 8 h. The effectiveness of the Bi2MoO6/H2O2 photo-Fenton system in degradation reactions is due to the higher number of photo-generated e- available on the catalyst surface as a result of their ability to inhibit recombination of e- and h+ pair.
