I am interested in the dyes which are really of greater importance in the environment, may it be waste water or soil pollutants. Also provide some of the important non-color compounds used for the above purpose.
Common dyes used in photocatalytic experiments are: Rhodamine B and Methylene Blue (cationic) and Acid Orange 7 (anionic). For non-color compounds, chlorophenols, dichloroacetic acid, nitrobenzene, aniline and formic acid are commonly used.
Other examples of anionic dyes are: Acid Yellow 23, Direct Yellow 9, Alizarin S, Acid Red 14, Acid Red 18, Reactive Red 45, Reactive Blue 5, Eriochrome Black T and Eosin Y.
