UV/H2O2 degradation of diclofenac in a photocatalytic fuel cell

Degradation of Diclofenac Sodium under Solar Light Irradiation by Photocatalytic Performance of ZnO and V2O5

Pharmaceutical pollutants are one of the most important issues of modern life and their negative effects on the environment and human health are undeniable. In the present work, the effectiveness of the photocatalytic process was studied by two semiconductors (ZnO and V2O5) in order to remove the Diclofenac Sodium completely under solar irradiation. The study examined the impact of parameters s...

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...

A Photocatalytic Method for the Degradation of Pyrrolidine in Water

A method for the degradation of pyrrolidine in water is described. The method relaies on the photocatalytic degradation of pyrrolidine to CO2 and NH3 by UV irradiation and using titanium dixide semiconductor as a photocatalyst. Compared with direct photolysis, the semiconductor catalytic photolysis gave consistently higher degradation yields for pyrrolidine in water. T...

Photocatalytic Degradation of Acetaminophen

The photocatalytic degradation of a common analgesic (acetaminophen) with titanium dioxide irradiated with low energy ultraviolet light (365 nm) was studied in order to determine the effect of several parameters such as catalyst’s weight, photochemical effect, and initial concentration. The results indicate that acetaminophen is degraded in the order of 4% by the photochemical effect. The prese...
