Photocatalytic Removal of Amaranth Optimization Using Response Surface Methodology

Since Amaranth (AM) is one of the dye compounds which is harmful to human’s life its removal from industrial waste water would reduce their environmental impact and health effect. Copper nanoparticle (CuNP) is a simple and eco-friendly material which can be used to remove this pollutant. In this paper, copper nanoparticles were synthesized, for removal of AM dye. The experiments were designed b...

Photocatalytic removal of o-chlorophenol by Using a Mixture of Modified Fly Ash and TiO2 Nanoparticles

Abstract Background: Photocatalytic process is used as a suitable method for o-chlorophenol removal. In this study, the efficiency of a mixture of modified fly ash and TiO2 nanoparticles in photocatalytic removal of o-chlorophenol was evaluated. Methods: After acid washing of fly ash, the absorbent was oxidized with potassium permanganate. ...

Photocatalytic removal of ethylbenzene from air flow using ZnO nanoparticles immobilized on modified natural zeolite

Introduction: Ethylbenzene is a volatile organic compound used in many industries, including oil and gas, oil colored and insecticides. Due to the toxic effects of this chemical substance, control and elimination of this vapor is necessary. Photocatalytic degradation is a possible method to remove organic compounds from air. This study was performed to determine the efficiency of photocatalytic...

Photocatalytic Removal of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa from Water Using Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles and UV Irradiation

Background: Titanium dioxide (TiO2)-mediated photocatalysis has been found to be an efficient method of water treatment and is capable of degrading a wide range of organic pollutants and microbial agents with high efficiency. The microorganism Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to chemicals and UV irradiation. Bacteria which are resistant to UV-induced oxidative damage of the cell membrane are...
