Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal by combining bio-scrubber and ozone pretreatment

by

Senatore Vincenzo et al. View all

Air pollution and health

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are toxic for the environment and human health and their tendency to readily volatilize in the atmosphere can lead to problems connected to odours annoyance. Conventional VOCs gaseous emissions treatments entail the application of chemical-physical processes, only...

Photocatalytic Reduction of AuCl4- by Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 Nanoparticles

by

Eko Sri Kunarti et al. View all

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

Metallurgy and recovery of gold in electronic waste sometimes involve the reduction of tetrachloroaurate ion (AuCl4-) to elemental gold form. Currently, for the reduction of tetrachloroaurate ion, people use reducing agents such as hydroquinone and sodium borohydride. Photocatalysts of Fe3O4/SiO2...
