  • Development and fitting of kinetic models to experimental data.

    • Main Results:

    • Agitation speed showed a minor impact on dye decomposition rate.
    • Dye decomposition rate increased with TiO2 concentration up to 0.98 g/L, then decreased.
    • Optimal initial dye decomposition rates were observed up to a specific concentration, dependent on temperature.
    • Dye decomposition rate plateaued with UV power intensity above 64 W.

    Conclusions:

    • Nano-TiO2 photocatalysis is effective for textile dye wastewater treatment.
    • Operational parameters like TiO2 concentration and UV intensity significantly affect decomposition rates.
    • Developed kinetic models accurately describe the experimental data, aiding process optimization.
