An efficient and convenient method for degradation of Acid orange 3 (AO3) dye from aqueous solution by combination of Fly ash/H2O2 and ultrasound irradiation is reported. The effects of the relevant operating conditions (pH value, dye concentration, H2O2 concentration, dosage of Fly ash and different reaction system) on the degradation of AO3 were also observed. The combination method was found...

In this study, we have reported the green synthesis magnesium ferrite using tragacanth gel by the sol-gel method without using any organic chemicals. The sample was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the fo...

This work focused on the degradation of toxic organic compounds such as methyl violet dye (MV) in water, using a combined photocatalysis/low pressure reverse osmosis (LPRO) system. The performance of the hybrid system was investigated in terms of the degradation efficiency of MV, COD and membrane separation of TiO2. The aim of the present study was to design a novel solar reactor and analyze it...

Textile wastewater is notoriously known to contain strong colour, a highly fluctuating pH and significant COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) values. Because of these characteristics, treatment of these effluents has been rather difficult. Traditional methods for dealing with textile wastewater consist of various combinations of biological, physical and chemical methods. Because of the large variabili...

The current work is aimed to evaluate the degradation of Reactive Red 35 (RR35) by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ARSKS20 that decolorized 100 mg/L dye at 8.27 mg/L/h rate under optimum conditions. Induction of laccase, lignin peroxidase, tyrosinase, Veratryl alcohol oxidase, NADH-DCIP reductase, azoreductase enzymes during dye decolorization suggested their active participation in dye degradation. Met...

conclusions the uv/zno system has been found an effective process with 90.2% cod removal and 95.6% dye removal after 50 minutes treatment. materials and methods in this work, zno catalyst and mercury lamp (uv-c, 254 nm) have been applied for removal of the c.i. sulphur red 14 dye from aqueous environments. the influence of various parameters such as the amount of zno, initial dye concentration,...

A detailed study on visible light photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) has been investigated in aqueous heterogeneous media containing hexagonal phase molybdenum oxide (h-MoO3) nanocrystals (NCs) which was identified as a new material for visible light driven photocatalysis. A simple and template-free solution based chemical precipitation method was employed to synthesize h-MoO3 NC...

Enzymatic degradation of organic pollutants is a new and promising remediation approach. Peroxidases are one of the most commonly used classes of enzymes to degrade organic pollutants. However, it is generally assumed that all peroxidases behave similarly and produce similar degradation products. In this study, we conducted detailed studies of the degradation of a model aromatic pollutant, Sulf...
