“…After 7 h of irradiation, the degree of degradation by the 500°C product reached 92% and that by the 600°C products was only 74%. As reported, the surface adsorption by the catalyst would play an important role in photocatalysis even as a prerequisite condition in some cases (Machado et al, 2003;Minero et al, 1992). The superior catalytic ability of our products resulted in the efficient degradation of MV in the aqueous solution.…”

A network of fibers comprising orthorhombic molybdenum trioxide (a-MoO 3 ) crystals were synthesized using paper as template via a biomorphic approach. The template was completely removed by annealing the sample at 600°C for 5 min. Monoclinic MoO 3 was formed and consequently converted into orthorhombic a-MoO 3 after prolonged annealing. Three milligrams of the biomorphic a-MoO 3 could degrade up to 90% of a methyl violet aqueous solution with a concentration of 20 mg/L under normal visible light. The size of the a-MoO 3 grains and the porosity of the biomorphic sample affected catalytic performance.

“…O rthorhombic molybdenum trioxide (a-MoO 3 ) was reported to have photocatalytic enhancement in oxidative dehydrogenation of alcohol (Ono et al, 1986) and oxidation of hydrocarbons (Marcinkowska et al, 1984). It is known that the increase in surface area of the catalyst would further enhance the catalytic activities.…”

“…TiO 2 , ZnO, CeO 2 , CdS or ZnS can be utilized as catalysts in the UV treatment which causes a large amount of radicals to be formed on the surface of catalyst yielding many compounds to degrade. Especially TiO 2 is widely employed because of its non-toxicity and photo-stability in a wide range of pH (Machado et al 2003). The photocatalytic reaction occurs when the semiconductor is activated by light and a band gap is generated.…”

“…It is clear that the optimum catalyst concentration was about 0.07 gL −1 . Reported optimum catalyst loadings for wastewater treatment are usually within a range of 0.1-1 gL −1 [7,8,33]; however some studies have also reported lower optimum loadings (0.05 gL −1 ) [34]. However, in all cases, the optimum value strongly depends on the reactor design, pollutant type, and concentration [35].…”

Treatment of shower water deserves special consideration for reuse not only because of its low pollutant loading but also because it is produced in large quantities. In this study, a pilot scale study of photocatalytic degradation of impurities in real shower water was performed in a 31 L volume reactor using titanium dioxide as the photocatalyst. The reactor was operated in a continuous slurry recirculation mode. Several operational parameters were studied including the slurry initial pH, catalyst concentration, air flow rate, and slurry recirculation rate. Up to 57% of total organic carbon (TOC) elimination was obtained after 6 hours of treatment (for 3.0 slurry initial pH, 0.07 gL −1 catalyst concentration, 1.8 Lmin −1 air flow rate, and 4.4 Lmin −1 slurry recirculation rate). This study showed that photocatalysis could be successfully transposed from bench scale to pilot scale. Furthermore, the ease of operation and the potential to use solar energy make photocatalysis an attractive prospect with respect to treatment of grey water.
