Solar Photocatalytic Degradation of Diuron in Aqueous Solution by TiO2

Ionizing radiation induced degradation of diuron in dilute aqueous solution

BACKGROUND Cutting edge technologies based on Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) are under development for the elimination of highly persistent organic molecules (like pesticides) from water matrices. Among them, ionizing radiation treatment represents a promising technology that requires no additives and can be easily adapted to an industrial scale. In these processes several reactive species ...

Photocatalytic Degradation of Linear Alkyl Benzene Solfunate from Aqueous Solution by Tio2 Nanoparticles

The possibility of linear alkyl benzene solfunate (LAS) photocatalytic degradation through application of TiO2 nanoparticles was investigated. 10(mg/L) of LAS has been affected by either UV or TiO2 and simultaneous use of both of them in separated experiments. Moreover, the effect of initial concentrations of LAS and TiO2, pH, present various anions and different UV power was studied to determi...

Solar Photocatalytic Degradation of Diclofenac by N-Doped TiO2 Nanoparticles Synthesized by Ultrasound

Anatase N-doped TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using ultrasound at low frequency and room temperature. The samples characterized by techniques including XRD, TEM, HRTEM, FT-IR, XPS, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. XPS indicated the existence of nitrogen as an anion dopant within the TiO2 lattice. The solar photocatalytic activity of N-doped TiO2 studied for th...

Photocatalytic Degradation of an Anionic Surfactant by Tio2 Nanoparticle under UV Radiation in Aqueous Solutions

In this paper the photocatalytic degradation of the anionic surfactant, linear alkylbenzene sulfonicacid (LABSA) was investigated using UV radiation in the presence of TiO2. Our findingsdemonstrate that various parameters exert their individual influence on the photocatalytic degradationof surfactant in wastewaters. The mentioned parameters have been categorized as follow: the initialpH of the ...
