Abstract:
Photolysis of Chicago Sky Blue diazo dye in aqueous solutions and films containing zinc and silver oxides is studied. The presence of zinc and silver nitrates in aqueous solutions of this dye considerably increase the rate of its photolysis under UV irradiation. ZnO and ZnO:Ag oxide films and composite coatings with zinc and silver nitrates also considerably affect the photolysis of Chicago Sky Blue diazo dye.
