Abstract Photocatalytic membranes reactors have become one of the most efficient technologies to treat polluted waters. However, a major drawback is unilateral irradiation membrane, where only side membrane exploited. To overcome this issue, we developed reactor can be irradiated on both sides. Polyacrylonitrile containing different amounts TiO 2 nanoparticles up 60% were first prepared by elec...

A mild photocatalytic phenol oxygenation enabled by a continuous-flow photoreactor using visible light and pressurized air is described herein. Products for wide-ranging applications, including the synthesis of vitamins, were obtained in high yields precisely controlling principal process parameters. The reactor design permits low organophotocatalyst loadings to generate singlet oxygen. It anti...

Photocatalysis is a rapidly expanding technology where diverse range of toxic chemicals can be completely degraded in water. In this study, an efficient photocatalytic method for the degradation aquatic pollutant, emamectin benzoate, coupled with novel electrochemical monitoring reported first time. Photocatalytic reactions were performed slurry-based reactor containing either ZnO or TiO2 photo...

Phenol is a recalcitrant anthropogenic compound whose presence has been reported in both wastewater and drinking water; human exposure to phenolic substances can lead health problems. The degradation of phenol (measured as COD decrease) through solar heterogeneous photocatalysis with immobilized TiO2 was performed two different reactors: flat-plate reactor (FPR) parabolic collector (CPC). A 23 ...
