Water pollution has been acknowledged as an issue of concern due to recalcitrant pollutants like textile dyes. Therefore, the eco-friendly synthesis of nano-particles (NPs) through green chemistry approach from sources and materials of organic origin has not only enhanced the properties of substance...

TiO2 is the most effective photocatalyst but it has low adsorption in the visible region. Many efforts have been done to improve its photocatalytic activity in the solar region. In this study we use Mo-oxy species supported on titania surface since it is well known that titania surface can dispersed...

Ozone initiated oxidation of 2-chloro,4-bromophenol, (CBP) in aqueous system catalyzed by 1, 2.5 and 5% loadings of 1:1 molar ratio of Ce-Zr oxide on TiO 2 were studied. The synthesized catalysts were characterized via BET, ICP, PXRD, TPD, TEM, SEM, and FT-IR analysis. The powder XRD data revealed...

This work is aimed to select the best synthetic polymers available in the market with high transmittance in the TiO 2 activation range that can be coated with the semiconductor and withstand the photocatalytic oxidation conditions. Among eleven commercial organic polymers with different additives...

The removal of heavy metals from wastewaters is a matter of paramount importance due to the fact that their high toxicity causes major environmental pollution problems. One of the most efficient, applicable and low cost methods for the removal of toxic metals from aqueous solutions is that of their...

The mechanism of retention of vanadium oxo-species at the “titanium oxide/aqueous solution” interface was investigated over a wide pH range (4-9) and V(V) solution concentration (10-5-2×10-2 M) by combining equilibrium deposition experiments, potentiometric titrations, microelectrophoresis and...

The efficiency of TiO2 photocatalysis induced by ultraviolet and visible irradiation and salt-free electrolysis over boron-doped diamond electrodes to inactivate total (TC) and fecal (FC) coliforms in secondary treated municipal wastewater was evaluated. Photocatalytic experiments were conducted...
