Abstract It is challenging to develop a material which has low cost, high activity, good stability and recyclability under light exposure. Apart from these properties, the photocatalyst should also have visible region absorbance electron-hole pair recombination rate. Keeping all this in view, we designed simple scalable synthesis of ZnO–ZnS heterostructures for photocatalytic treatment industri...

abstract: due to the importance of essential oils and their use in various industries, the essential oils of four types of citrus consisting of orange (c. sinesis), tangerine (c. reticulate), sweet lemon (c. limetta) and sour lemon (c. limon) were extracted and subjected to chemical analysis to identify and evaluate the chemical constituents of the oils. the average essential oils of orange, ta...

Immobilization of TiO2 on silica gel has been proposed to enable easy separation of the catalyst in aqueous systems after photocatalytic reaction. Our simple synthesizing method reduces production cost, and the photocatalyst could find economical application in wastewater treatment. Silica-supported TiO2 composites were prepared by molten salt method at 500, 600 and 700 °C for 60 min. The obtai...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent an emerging technology that focuses on power generation and effluent treatment. This review compiles articles related to MFCs using azo dye as the substrate. The significance of the general components in MFCs and systems of MFCs treating azo dye is depicted in this review. In addition, degradation of azo dyes such as Congo red, methyl orange, active brillia...

Due to its recalcitrant and carcinogenic nature, the presence of methyl orange (MO) in environment is a serious threat human animal life also toxic plants. MO being cannot be effectively reclaimed from industrial effluents through physical chemical approaches. Biological methods on other hand have potential degrade such dyes because their compatibility with nature low chances adverse effects en...
