A Review: Titanium Dioxide Photocatalysis for Water Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, semiconductor photocatalytic process has shown a great potential as a lowcost, environmental friendly and sustainable treatment technology to align with the“zero” waste scheme in the water/wastewater industry. The ability of this advanced oxidation technology has been widely demonstrated to remove persistent organic compounds and microorganisms in water. This paper presents the review of the background and principle of photocatalysis for advanced oxidation technology. In particular, semiconductor TiO2 photocatalysts is a successful and convenient alternative to the conventional methods for the treatment of wastewater containing organic pollutants.

We studied flow rate, electrolytes effects, titanium dioxide separation and reuse and sunlight application on photocatalysis in a tubular photoreactor integrated with the titanium dioxide separation/reuse. The circulative flow treatment was preferred over the single pass treatment. Phenol and TOC removals in tap and deionized waters were a maximum at the circulative flow rate of 600 ml min and ...
