Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants in Water
A photocatalyst is defined as a substance which is activated by adsorbing a photon and is capable of accelerating a reaction without being consumed [1]. These substances are invaria‐ bly semiconductors. Semiconducting oxide photocatalysts have been increasingly focused in recent years due to their potential applications in solar energy conversion and environmen‐ tal purification. Semiconductor ...
متن کاملBacterial degradation of aromatic pollutants: a paradigm of metabolic versatility.
Although most organisms have detoxification abilities (i.e mineralization, transformation and/or immobilization of pollutants), microorganisms, particularly bacteria, play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles and in sustainable development of the biosphere. Next to glucosyl residues, the benzene ring is the most widely distributed unit of chemical structure in nature, and many of the aromati...
متن کاملMicrobial degradation of petrochemical waste-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
BACKGROUND Petrochemical industry is one of the fastest growing industries. This industry has immense importance in the growth of economy and manufacture of large varieties of chemicals. The petrochemical industry is a hazardous group of industry generating hazardous waste containing organic and inorganic compounds. In spite of the present treatment process, the hazardous waste compounds are fo...
متن کاملRADIATION-INDUCED DEGRADATION OF WATER POLLUTANTS--STATE OF THE ARTt
-The radiation-induced decomposition of biological resistant pollutants in drinking as well as in wastewater is briefly reviewed. First, some important units, definitions etc., radiation sources, as well as dose-depth curves in water as functions of the electron energy and 6°Co-y-rays are mentioned. Following is a schematical presentation of water radiolysis and of characteristics of primary fr...
متن کاملBiocatalytic degradation of pollutants.
Microbial reactions play key roles in biocatalysis and biodegradation. The recent genome sequencing of environmentally relevant bacteria has revealed previously unsuspected metabolic potential that could be exploited for useful purposes. For example, oxygenases and other biodegradative enzymes are benign catalysts that can be used for the production of industrially useful compounds. In conjunct...
