In recent decades, ultraviolet-assisted advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs) have been successfully applied to remove a wide range of contaminants from polluted water. Despite this, their extended use on an industrial scale is still far being reality, largely limited by the operational costs that these entail. years, many researchers working increase UV-AOP efficiency and reduce capital opera...

With the increasing number of recalcitrant pollutants in wastewater treatment plants, there will be a stringent need for rapid and convenient development tertiary processes such as advanced oxidation (AOPs). Microreactors offer great opportunity ultrafast safe intrinsic kinetic parameters determination, by-products identification, ecotoxicity assessment. Despite considerable potential these dev...

ZnO and SnO2-doped ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by a sol–gel method for the first time. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the ZnO and SnO2-doped ZnO samples. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have proved very effective in treatment of the various hazardous organic pollutants such as surfactants and pharmaceuticals...

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have been employed to degrade biorefractory organic matters. This study investigates the combination of classical Fenton reaction with electrochemical oxidation, the electro-Fenton process, for the treatment of semi aerobic landfill leachate, collected from Pulau Burung Landfill Site (PBLS), Penang, Malaysia. The investigation has been carried out in batch re...

2, 4, 6 trichlorophenol (TCP) is one of the most toxic chlorophenols which is very difficult to biodegradation. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) is one of the most effective processes for degradation of persistent compounds. Since the mineralization of recalcitrant compound by AOPs often requires long reaction time and strong doses of oxidant, the combination of this process with biological ...

This study was aimed at investigating the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotic in aqueous solution using immobilized ZnO nanoparticles on glass plate. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were applied to characterize the nanoparticles. To do so, the ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized through the chemical precipitation method and we...

Among the main restrictions for the implementation of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for removal of micropollutants present in reverse osmosis (RO) brines of secondary effluents account the quenching performed by background organic and inorganic constituents. Natural organic matter (NOM) and soluble microbial products (SMP) are the main effluent organic matter constituents. The inorganic f...

The present work is focused on the homogeneous and heterogeneous photo-catalytic degradation of Hacid, a non-biodegradable dye intermediate from dye manufacturing industries, using Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) such as UV, UV/H2O2, UV/H2O2/Fe 2+ (photo-Fenton process), UV/TiO2 and UV/H2O2/TiO2. Degradation experiments were carried out to optimize the amount of catalyst, effect of Hacid co...
