Photocatalytic degradation of pharmaceutical wastes by alginate supported TiO2 nanoparticles in packed bed photo reactor (PBPR)

Development of a mathematical model to predict different parameters during pharmaceutical wastewater treatment using TiO2 coated membrane

“…It may be happened because the target particles would instantly react with the catalyst particles on the membrane surface initially for first 10 min. During photocatalysis process, the target molecules are adsorbed on the catalyst surface first then it degraded under photocatalytic action of TiO 2 nanoparticles (Sarkar et al, 2015). According to that, at initial stage of reaction fresh nanoparticles on the membrane surface absorbed more CHD molecules and eventually those are degraded but after 10 min there were no such catalyst particles are left for further degradation.…”

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

“…(Khalilian et al, 2015;Sarkar et al, 2015;He et al, 2016;Vaiano et al, 2015;Hanaor and Sorrell, 2014).…”

Synthesis, Characterization, and Photocatalytic Activity of Pure and N-, B-, or Ag- Doped TiO2

“…Removal of catalysts at the end of the process is a major requirement in photocatalysis, albeit one difficult to meet, as it involves a solid-liquid separation step that adds to the overall capital and running costs in WWTPs. 16,17 AOP application to full-scale water treatment is therefore under development. Combining catalysis with renewable energy resources, however, as in solar photocatalysis, is expected to cut down treatment costs and make AOPs more attractive to the water industry.…”
