Photocatalysis with solar energy: Sunlight-responsive photocatalyst based on TiO2 loaded on a natural material for wastewater treatment

Nano‐layered TiO2 for effective bacterial disintegration of waste activated sludge and biogas production

“…Immobilization makes TiO 2 reusable, and this resulted in reduced consumable cost. Another advantage of the thin film is that it prevents wash‐out of TiO 2 , which is otherwise a pollutant in the effluent stream, and its removal requires a considerable amount of energy . It is understandable from the above findings that the TiO 2 arbitrated exocellular fractionated sludge pretreatment offers the best option for sludge management.…”

Synthesis of copper oxides films via anodic oxidation of copper foil followed by thermal reduction

“…Quick growth of industrial activity in last decades compels manufactures to pay great attention to make a new way of energy supply with the decreasing of environment pollutants [1,2]. Hydrogen generation via water splitting under sunlight on the surface of semiconductor photoelectrodes is one of the most promising way because it lets to produce fuel with the minimal environmental impact [3,4].…”

Treatment of Rose Processing Wastewater By Sunlight/TiO2 Photocatalysis Process

“…Heterogeneous photocatalysis depends on the use of light source and semiconductor. During process, semiconductor surface is illuminated by the light with specific wavelength and a reaction occurs on activated surface then hydroxyl radicals (°OH) are generated (Borges et al, 2016;Mecha et al, 2016;Szczepanik, 2017). Hydroxyl radicals are highly reactive oxidizing agents with 2.8 V (pH 0) oxidation potential.…”
