Presently, conventional technologies in water treatment are not efficient enough to
completely mineralize refractory water contaminants. In this context, the implementation of …

The total annual production of synthetic dye is more than 7× 105 tons. Annually, through
only textile waste effluents, around one thousand tons of non-biodegradable textile dyes are …

Even though heterogeneous photocatalysis appeared in many forms, photodegradation of
organic pollutants has recently been the most widely investigated. By far, titania has played …

The application of ultrasonic technology in the treatment of organic pollutants in water has
attracted more and more attention in recent years. Compared with conventional treatment …

Degradation of amoxicillin, ampicillin and cloxacillin antibiotics in aqueous solution by TiO2
photocatalysis under UVA (365nm) irradiation was studied. Enhancement of photocatalysis …

Water pollution through natural and anthropogenic activities has become a global problem
causing short-and long-term impact on human and ecosystems. Substantial quantity of …

In the present study, decolorization and mineralization of a cationic dye, Rhodamine 6G
(Rh6G), has been carried out using hydrodynamic cavitation (HC). Two cavitating devices …

Virtually all the known physicochemical and biological techniques have been explored for
treatment of extremely recalcitrant dye wastewater; none, however, has emerged as a …

A series of ZnO nanoparticles decorated on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (ZnO/CNTs
composites) was synthesized using a facile sol method. The intrinsic characteristics of as …

The heterogeneous photocatalytic water purification process has gained wide attention due
to its effectiveness in degrading and mineralizing the recalcitrant organic compounds as well …
