Suspended and Immobilized TiO2 Photocatalytic Degradation of Estrogens: Potential for Application in Wastewater Treatment Processes

Photocatalytic application of TiO2/SiO2-based magnetic nanocomposite (Fe3O4@SiO2/TiO2) for reusing of textile wastewater

In this research we have developed a treatment method for textile wastewater by TiO2/SiO2-based magnetic nanocomposite. Textile wastewater includes a large variety of dyes and chemicals and needs treatments. This manuscript presents a facile method for removing dyes from the textile wastewater by using TiO2/SiO2-based nanocomposite (Fe3O<su...

Degradation of Estrogens in Sewage Treatment Processes

Photocatalytic Degradation of Endocrine Disruptor Compounds in Water over Immobilized TiO2 Photocatalysts

Recently, the fate of endocrine disruptors in environmentally relevant samples has attracted considerable attention. Semiconductor photocatalysis may offer an appealing methodology to treat such contaminants. In this respect, the simultaneous degradation of synthetic hormones employing UV irradiation and TiO2 as the photocatalyst were investigated. Our interest was focused on des...

Bacteriophages--potential for application in wastewater treatment processes.

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and lyse bacteria. Interest in the ability of phages to control bacterial populations has extended from medical applications into the fields of agriculture, aquaculture and the food industry. Here, the potential application of phage techniques in wastewater treatment systems to improve effluent and sludge emissions into the environment is discussed. Phage-...

disinfection of municipal wastewater by the systems of suspended and immobilized nano-tio2 in the cement

the photocatalytic activity of nano-tio2 has been used in inactivation of microorganisms, mainly in the form of suspension in a liquid or partially in an immobilized system. using advanced oxidation processasa new approach has been used in the purification of water and wastewater. in this research, the systems of suspended (0.1 g/l) and immobilized nano-tio2 in the cement bed (0.1-2%) under a 1...
