| Abstract : Photocatalytic degradation of acetic acid over zinc oxide suspended as a photocatalyst was done , under irradiation with ultraviolet light . The photocatalytic degradation of the acid was followed by using (IR) spectroscopy , which exhibits reduction in the intensity of absorption of carboxyl group of the acid . The remaining quantity of the acid was determined by spectrophotometric method by using a standard calibration curve of standard solutions of the acid . The reaction was done at three different temperatures293,298,and 303 K. The effect of temperature on the rate of reaction used in the estimation of activation energy for the reaction according to Arrhenius plot , the activation energy was about (22)kJ . mol-1 . Langmuir kinetic model was applied for the reaction , it used in the estimation of an approximate adsorption equilibrium constant which was about (1.8 × 10-4 l . mol-1) . Rate constant for the reaction was calculated by plotting of invers of rate of the reaction versus invers of concentration of the used acid which was equal to (4.5 × 10-6) sec-1 . | ||
