Degradation efficiency of malachite green dye by LaCO0.8Cu0.2O3 perovskite oxide under natural and UV condition

Abstract

Perovskite are the catalytic material having the general formula of ABO3 and can be prepared by various synthetic methods such as Co-precipitation method, Citrate method, Ball mill method, Sol-gel method etc. They are being applied in many areas of current development because of their optical, magnetic, electronic and ferroelectric properties. General uses of Perovskite nano-particles have been in adsorbents for waste water treatment, fuel cells, drug delivery and air pollution controller. The ultimate goal of the wastewater treatment is to provide the protection of human health and environmental aspect. The interest in these catalysts has been revitalized in the past ten years by the introduction of the concept of catalyst generatability of Perovskite Catalyst, which is in principle well.
