Photodegradation of Rhodamine B in Presence of CaO and NiO-CaO Catalysts

A CaO catalyst was prepared by mild calcination (650°C) of facilely precipitated Ca(OH)2 and compared to an NiO-CaO catalyst obtained from an Ni(OH)2/Ca(OH)2 coprecipitate as a precursor. Both catalysts degraded rhodamine B (RB) effectively when exposed to ultraviolet light but exhibited slower degr...
