Photocatalytic Applications in Wastewater and Air Treatment: A Patent Review (2010–2020)
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we reviewed the most significant patents of last decade (2010–2020) in fields water and air photocatalytic treatment. Patents were discussed by identifying recurrent addressed issues presenting proposed solutions. Adoption TiO2 and/or modified-TiO2-based material is still common choice inventors, whereas many focus on design plants/devices to improve efficiency treatment improving light utilization contact between phases. The review also highlights deriving from specific applications outlines future trends field, such as need for standardized testing digitalization monitoring control.

متن کاملA Review on Applications of Membrane Distillation (MD) Process for Wastewater Treatment
The growing scarcity of fresh water is driving the implementation of wastewater treatment and water reuse on an increasingly large scale. Various methods have been developed and used for water reuse from wastewater; however, the membrane distillation (MD) process, as a promising separation technology, has recently gained more attention. The MD process is a non-isothermal membrane-based separati...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic treatment of spent caustic wastewater in petrochemical industries
In this study, the photocatalytic method was used for treating the spent caustic in the wastewater of Olefin units used in petrochemical industries which contain large amounts of total dissolved solids (TDS). By using the synthetic photocatalyst of suspended titanium dioxide and measuring the chemical oxygen demand (COD) which was reduced in the photocatalyst (lbc) process, the values of COD we...
