In this research work, boron-doped titanium oxide (B-TiO2) was prepared by the sol-gel method to investigate its behavior in degradation of recalcitrant hormone estriol (E3). The doped photocatalyst synthesized at different boron/titania ratios 2, 3, and 5 wt.% boron with respect TiO2 content. obtained materials were characterized UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffraction...

the use of colored semiconductor oxide like copper (ii) oxide and nickel (ii) oxide for photocatalytic bleaching of rose bengal was investigated in detail. in order to harness the solar energy, the effective wavelength of the photocatalyst is to be expanded into the visible region and that increases the rate of photocatalytic bleaching of the dye. progress of the reaction was observed spectroph...

In the present study, photoinduced degradation of antidepressant drug sertraline under artificial solar radiation was examined. Photolysis studied different experimental conditions to explore its photolytic fate in aqueous environment. Photolytic kinetics were carried out ultrapure water, wastewater effluent, as well presence dissolved organic matter (humic acids), bicarbonate and nitrate ions ...

In the present work, UVA light-driven g-C3N4/TiO2 photocatalyst was synthesized for photodegradation of Carbamazepine (CBZ) in aqueous medium. The morphological, optical properties and structure TiO2, g-C3N4 prepared composites were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm based on BET, Raman Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with EDX, UV–vi...

Background: Thiomersal (TM), a complex between 2-mercaptobenzoic acid (2-MBA) and ethylmercury (C2H5Hg + ), is an antimicrobial preservative used in immunological, ophthalmic, cosmetic products, vaccines. Objective: TM has been treated by UV/TiO 2 photocatalysis the presence or absence of oxygen at acidic pH. C H 5 Hg , 2-MBA, 2-sulfobenzoic (2-SBA) were found as products. A 2-SBA photocatalyti...

The photocatalytic removal of Flumequine (antibiotic) using a luminous textile which served as support for the TiO2 and light transmitter through optical fibers was examined in this study. Two configurations were investigated (Mono-Face Double-Face) terms compounds degradation mineralization. Photocatalytic performances Double-Face configuration found to be better than one obtained with Mono-Fa...

The effect of various parameters (pH, irradiation time, nanophotocatalyst dosages and temperature) on photocatalytic degradation of Direct Red 23 (DR 23) and Direct Brown 166 (DB 166) using pure InVO4 and InVO4-TiO2 nanocomposite were investigated under visible light irradiation. InVO4 and InVO4-TiO2 wer...
