removal of thiosulfate (s2o32-, 200 mg/l) from simulated wastewater samples was investigated under varying co-pollutants and ph conditions employing the titanium dioxide (tio2) mediated photocatalysis. for thiosulfate only studies higher substrate removal was noted at lower ph with a specific trend of ph 4 > ph 7 > ph 10. furthermore, near complete thiosulfate removal was also achieved at ph 4....

in the present study, photocatalytic removal of p-nitrophenol has been carried out in the presence of zno by using a batch reactor with a uv-c lamp (15 w). the effects of applied zno concentration and uv light intensity have been studied. the increase of initial pollutant concentration decreases the removal rate, and the results indicate that the apparent reaction rate constant in the uv/zno pr...

background: mature landfill leachate is a complicated mixture which is resistant to biological treatment processes. the treatment of mature landfill leachate by struvite precipitation and fenton oxidation was the main objective of the current research. methods: struvite with the phosphate/ammonia/magnesium molar ratio of 1/1/1.05 was considered during all experiments. five initial phs of 3, 4, ...

the kinetic of photo oxidative decolorization of c.i. acid yellow 23 (ay23) was investigated in uv/ process. the semi-logarithmic of the concentrations of ay23 versus irradiation time were linear, suggesting pseudo-first order reaction. a simple kinetic model is proposed which confirms pseudo- first order reaction. the results indicate that the apparent reaction rate constant is a function of l...

background: benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene compounds (btex) are very dangerous in terms of health and environmental and have high toxicity in aquatic environment. the purpose of this study was to investigate the performance analysis of petroleum hydrocarbons xylene using solar radiation uv/tio2 method in industrial synthetic waste . methods: an experimental-interventional study was ...

the trend of sustainable use of available water resources encourages textile finishing enterprisesto implement efficient wastewater treatment technologies that enable water recycling, and not just it’sdischarging into the local wastewater treatment plants (wwtp). this paper presents the results obtainedfrom the h2o2/uv treatment of wastewater from slovene textile finishing company. laboratory s...

in the last twenty years, due to a number of natural and anthropogenic reasons, many water sources have become poorer in quality with respect to micropollutants. an example of a micropollutant that needs to be removed is the chlorophenoxypropionic herbicide mecoprop (mcpp). mcpp is one of the nine pesticides used as an indicator to monitor pesticide concentrations in rivers because it is freque...

this study presents a review on advanced oxidation processes (aop) for simultaneous removal of no and so2. aop is based on using a strong oxidant such as ozone and h2o2 which is able to generate highly reactive intermediates. the pollutant will be oxidized and removed by these intermediates. in recent years, aop has been considered as an effective and attractive technology in the field of flue ...

nitrate is one of the pollutants of groundwater and the great amount of nitrate in drinking water can bring about some hygienic problems such as methemoglobinema phenomena in children. therefore, this research aims to study the efficiency of photo- fenton in removing nitrate and investigating the variables affecting it in aqueous solutions. this research was carried out in water and wastewater ...
