Advanced Oxidation Processes for Wastewater treatment

The photocatalytic process as an advanced oxidation process (AOP) has gained worldwide attention in the water and wastewater industry. The photocatalytic process can be used for water and wastewater disinfection. The aim of this study was to remove coliforms and faecal coliforms from real hospital...

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...

This work focuses on the use of carbon-coated magnetic cobalt ferrite nanoparticles as catalysts for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of the emerging concern pollutant paracetamol (PCM). The magnetic core of the catalyst is composed of CoFe2O4 developed by a sol-gel method. The core is...

Poultry slaughterhouse wastewater (PSWW) is a crucial concern fundamentally due to extensive generation and related substantial amounts of recalcitrant organic content due to high COD and oil and grease (O&G) levels. Hybrid advanced oxidation processes are promising, green, and innovative options to...

The constant development of technological processes aggravates the problem of pollution, due to a significant change in the composition of effluents, which makes necessary new (and/or improved) treatment methods and catalytic materials. In this sense, the use of natural clays in the synthesis of low...

Anthracene and phenanthrene belong to a group of persistent environmental contaminants called PAHs. Evaluation of the structure of two selected PAHs i.e. anthracene and phenanthrene on their resistance to destruction by UV-activated PDS was the aim of this study. The authors focused on two aspects...

ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is increasing and plastic waste usually ends in environment. Microplastics (MP) as insoluble and anthropogenic micropollutant is ubiquitous and its concentration is expected to increase in the environment. One of important sources are wastewater treatment plants, where...
