Abstract:

The photocatalytic degradation of betamethasone sodium phosphate was investigated in aqueoussuspensions of zinc oxide nanoparticular with diameter size 20 nm under a variety of conditions.Different parameters such as irradiation time, the amount catalyst (0.12-0.8 g LH), initialconcentration of drug (10-50 mgLjand initial pH values (ranging from 3 to II) were investigatedin the presence of various electron acceptors. It was observed that 0.44 gL-I of photocatalyst is theoptimum value for photocatalyst dosage. In the most favorite conditions, the degradationefficiency was obtained 30gL-I for betamethasone sodium phosphate. Finally, the kinetics processwas studied and the photodegradation rate of betamethasone sodium phosphate was found to obeypseudo-first-order kinetics equation represented by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model.

Adsorptive removal of phosphate from wastewater using mesoporous titanium oxide

The adsorption of phosphate onto mesoporous TiO2 was investigated in order to reduce phosphorus concentrations in wastewater and provide a potential mode of phosphorus recovery. Three equilibrium isotherms were used to optimize and properly describe phosphate adsorption (R > 0.95). The maximum capacity of phosphate on the adsorbent was found to be 50.4 mg/g, which indicated that mesoporous TiO2...

Biological Removal of phosphate from Synthetic Wastewater Using Bacterial Consortium

The biological phosphorus removal is a microbial process widely used for removing phosphorus fromwastewater to avoid eutrophication of water bodies. The study was aimed to screen the efficient phosphatereducing isolates and used to remove phosphate from synthetic wastewater using batch scale process. Thethree most efficient phosphate reducers were isolated and screened from eu...

Efficiency of Photocatalytic Ozone Process Combined with Zinc Oxide in Removal of Amoxicillin from Hospital Wastewater

Background and purpose: One of the main problems of pollution of aquatic environments is hardly biodegradable chemicals with high toxicity such as antibiotics. If they are not removed from the wastewater, particularly the hospital wastewater, many health and environmental hazards are created. Therefore, appropriate management and treatment of this type of wastewater is highly necessary. This re...

Polysulfone/Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Ultrafltration Membrane for Adsorptive Removal of Phosphate from Aqueous Solution

Excessive nutrient contents in water bodies renders eutrophication and causes undesired structural changes to the environment. One of the most straightforward strategies to address eutrophication issue is through the removal of nutrients such as phosphate ions from the water sources. A combination of membrane fltration and adsorption process is an attractive alternative...
