Photocatalytic reactor for organic compound removal using photocatalytic mechanism

Optimization of Photocatalytic Degradation of Phenol Using Simple Photocatalytic Reactor

The phenol photocatalytic degradation was investigated using heterogeneous catalyst Ag-doped ZnO nanowires under UV irradiation. Ag-ZnO nanowires were immobilized on borosilicate glass via a simple hydrothermal technique. Preliminary photodegradation studies were performed with Ag-ZnO nanowires at various concentrations of phenol (10 60 mg/L) at undiluted pH. After determination of the optimal ...

Study on photocatalytic organic reactions using photocatalytic microreactors.

Photocatalytic organic reactions were performed using automatic photocatalytic microreactor, where several open-end capillaries with photocatalytic materials coated inside were just soaked in a test tube including a reactant solution. Organic reactions of the alkyl radicals generated from carboxylic acids due to the photo-Kolbe reaction was studied, in analogy with the reactions using a photose...

Photocatalytic Removal of Microbiological Consortium and Organic Matter in Greywater

This study aimed to investigate TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of synthetically-prepared greywater samples with differing compositional contents of organic matter (OM), anion concentration, and microbiological consortium. Treatment efficiency was followed through removal of organic matter content in terms of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), specific spectroscopic parameters, and bacterial inact...

Textile Dye Removal Using Photocatalytic Cascade Disk Reactor Coated by ZnO Nanoparticles

Dye effluents with low BOD/COD ratio and varied chemical structures are usually very recalcitrant to microbial degradation. Therefore, different process was used for the treatment of dye effluent. Heterogeneous photocatalyst process has been widely used as leading green technology for dye removal. The process utilizes a semiconductor photocatalyst (such as TiO2 or ZnO) and UV light to oxidize t...
