MoS2/N-TiO2/Ti mesh plate for visible-light photocatalytic ozonation of naproxen and industrial wastewater: comparative studies and artificial neural network modeling

Photocatalytic degradation of naproxen using TiO2 single nanotubes

“…Although most studies on photocatalytic degradation provide little information on the light source used and this detail is rarely pointed out, it should be considered that differences in irradiance values can affect the photocatalytic degradation rates (Eskandarian et al, 2016;Zaveri et al, 2018). Among several works on the photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceutical contaminants using TiO 2 combined with Feoxides (Amini et al, 2020;Pena-Velasco et al, 2021;Krakowiak et al, 2022) only a few reports show efficient removal rates under the visible light illumination (Sheydaei et al, 2022;Hao et al, 2023). High efficiency is often achieved when other processes, such as ozonation or photoelectrocatalysis, are additionally applied (Amini et al, 2020;Sheydaei et al, 2022).…”

In the present study, we determined the influence of the visible irradiation of a given main wavelength, emitted from a low-power lamp on the TiO 2 ST-NT@Fe 3 O 4 NPs and noted comparable results.…”

“…TiO 2 nanoparticles and TiO 2 nanotube (TiO 2 NT) layers have been reported in the elimination of NPX from various wastewater matrices (Im et al, 2015a;Kanakaraju et al, 2015). Different shapes of TiO 2 unmodified (Méndez-Arriaga et al, 2008b, 2008aJallouli et al, 2016a;Kanakaraju et al, 2016a) and modified for instance with Ce (Hao et al, 2023), MoS 2 (Sheydaei et al, 2022), and Cu-S (Amini et al, 2020) in the removal of different drugs show a positive impact on the degradation rates as shown in Supplementary Tables S1, S2. However, only one publication focused on TiO 2 NT layers as a catalyst using AOPs to determine their effectiveness in degrading NPX under ultrasonic radiation.…”

Selective removal of antibiotics over MgAl2O4/C3N4/YMnO3 photocatalysts: Performance prediction and mechanism insight

“…The study on the photocatalytic activity of MAO–CN–YMO heterojunction photocatalysts involves the preparation of the photocatalysts with different mass ratios of m CN / m YMO , m CN / m MAO , and m MAO /( m CN + m YMO ) and the testing of their photocatalytic activity to find the optimal ratio. The intelligent algorithm based on neural network can effectively predict other experimental results on the basis of obtaining certain experimental data and then achieve the purpose of saving time and reducing costs 37–39 . Therefore, it is important to explore intelligent algorithm to predict the photocatalytic activity of MAO–CN–YMO heterojunction photocatalysts.…”

[37][38][39] Therefore, it is important to explore intelligent algorithm to predict the photocatalytic activity of MAO-CN-YMO heterojunction photocatalysts. Back propagation (BP) artificial neural network model is a kind of nonlinear mathematical model with high predictive ability and has been widely used in engineering practice.…”
