Ultrasonic assisted photocatalytic process for degradation of ciprofloxacin using TiO2-Pd nanocomposite immobilized on pumice stone

Solar light induced photocatalytic degradation of textile dyes using solvothermally synthesized SnO2 impregnated pumice stone

“…The pristine pumice stone from the Iranian province of East Azerbaijan was used by Parvaz et al [25] and its band gap energy was found to be up to 1.9 eV from UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Similarly, Motlagh et al [39] observed the band gap energy of pristine pumice stone up to 3.29 eV, purchased from Ihlara-Aksaray, Turkey. It clearly shows evidence that different pumice stones absorb different bands of visible light.…”

Photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin from water with waste polystyrene and TiO2 composites

“…Considering the significant detection of ciprofloxacin in aquatic environments, the necessity of removing it from wastewater emerges. In the literature, there are studies on the removal of ciprofloxacin from wastewater [ [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ]. One of the most common techniques used for this purpose is the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin [ 1 , 12 ].…”

Ultrasound assisted fabrication of InVO4/In2S3 heterostructure for enhanced sonophotocatalytic degradation of pesticides

“…Combining the two processes, known as sonophotocatalysis, could overcome the drawbacks of both sonolysis and photocatalysis [33] , [34] . The synergistic advantages of a hybrid approach for sonophotocatalysis over separate methods are demonstrated in many reports [35] , [36] .…”
