This study examined the ability of a photocatalyst mixed in a denture base resin to decompose organic substances which adhered to the denture base resin surface. The photocatalyst was mixed with denture base resin at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, and 15% (w/w). Decomposition test, bending test, and surface roughness measurement were performed at 1, 7, 30, 90, and 180 days after polymerization. De...

In present study the photocatalytic degradation of commercial azo dye Direct Red 5B (DR5B dye) has been carried out in presence of recently developed photocatalyst: methylene Blue immobilized resin Dowex-11, under visible light. The effect of process parameters such as variation of the dye concentration, pH, light intensity and amount of catalyst loading on the reaction rate has been studied .T...

background: car wash waste water contains several contaminants such as organic matter, oil, grease, detergents and phosphates, all of which are harmful for the environment. in this study, the application of electrocoagulation (ec) to treat car wash waste water has been studied, and the operating parameters optimized. the electro-fenton (ef) for further contaminant removal was also investigated....

Photocatalytic degradation of organic components in water by means of TiO2 nanosuspensions under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation represents an efficient method for water purification. In the present paper, a modeling approach is proposed to simulate the involved kinetic processes based on the Langmuir– Hinshelwood mechanism. The extended model also includes the formation of intermediate organic co...

In this work, three types of natural clays including kaolinite, montmorillonite, and illite with different molecular structures, as adsorbents, are selected for the removal of methylene blue dye, and their performance is investigated. Also the optimization and the analysis of the dye adsorption mechanism are performed using the response surface methodology, molecular modeling, and experimental ...

in this paper, the photochemical degradation of azure-b by cu2+/s2o82− process has beenpresented. cu2+ as photocatalyst and s2o82− ion as photooxidant used in this process. atextremely low concentrations, cupric ion showed true catalytic activity in the overall process.the influence of various parameters on the performance of the treatment process has beenconsidered, such as ph, concentration o...

the photocatalytic activity of nano-bi2o3 was evaluated in degradation of rhodamine b (rhb) as a model of dye pollutant from waste waters. nano sized bi2o3 was synthesized using the chemical precipitation method. the as-prepared sample was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ft-ir). structural analysis reveale...

In this study, MOF/BiFeO₃ composite (MOF, metal-organic framework) has been synthesized successfully through a one-pot hydrothermal method. The MOF/BiFeO₃ composite samples, pure MOF samples and BiFeO₃ samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and by UV-vis spectrophotometry. The results and analysis reveal t...
