the photocatalytic decomposition of trichloroethylene (tce) and tetrachloroethylene (pce)in water was studied. tce and pce were present in water at very low concentrations of about 15 μg/dm3. thisconcentration level corresponds to the one occasionally occurring in groundwater. results of this researchconfirmed usefulness of the photocatalytic process for successful removal of low-concentrated t...

Photocatalytic removal of organic pollution such as waste colored dyes was a promising technique for environment technique. However, effective photocatalysts were needed to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency. Ag/AgCl was regarded as high performance catalyst for photocatalytic degradation. Ag/AgCl nanoparticles were biochemically prepared with metabolin of living fungi which was used as redu...

The problem of textile dye pollution has been addressed by various methods, mainly physical, chemical, biological, and acoustical. These methods mainly separate and/or remove the dye present in water. Recently, advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have been focused for removal of dye from waste water due to their advantages such as ecofriendly, economic and capable to degrade many dyes or organic...

Phenol and its derivatives are pollutant compounds that are present in the wastewater of many industries. The objective of this study was to investigate the photocatalytic degradation of phenol in water containing various concentrations of sodium chloride. A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the performance of UV/ZnO process on the efficiency of phenol removal from saline water with Zn...

Abstract Background: Photocatalytic process is used as a suitable method for o-chlorophenol removal. In this study, the efficiency of a mixture of modified fly ash and TiO2 nanoparticles in photocatalytic removal of o-chlorophenol was evaluated. Methods: After acid washing of fly ash, the absorbent was oxidized with potassium permanganate. ...

phenols are toxic organic compounds and which badly affects the flora and fauna of thebiosphere because phenols are persistent pollutant found in wastewater from many industries. in presentresearch article the photocatalytic removal of o-nitro phenol by synthesized magnetic nanoadsorbents(mna) carried out under photocatalytic reactor. the mna were synthesized by co-precipitation methodrequired ...

After the dyeing process, part of the dyes used to color textile materials are not fixed into the substrate and are discharged into wastewater as residual dyes. In this study, a heterogeneous photocatalytic process combined with microfiltration has been investigated for the removal of C.I. Disperse Red 73 from synthetic textile effluents. The titanium dioxide (TiO2) Aeroxide P25 was selected as...

The use of standalone titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalytic treatment and one that is combined with coagulation process to treat natural organic matter (NOM) from two different water sources (synthetic water containing 10 ppm of humic acid and water samples sourced from Myponga reservoir) is investigated herein. In the combined process, the water samples were treated with a novel composite coa...
