Photocatalytic Removal of Water Emerging Pollutants in an Optimized Packed Bed Photoreactor Using Solar Light

Photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation process that environmentally friendly option and one of the most critical technologies in green chemistry today. This work studied upscaling photocatalysis as a suitable for wastewater treatment to remove emerging pollutants. For this purpose, unsupported supported TiO2 photocatalysts were tested photodegradation ciprofloxacin model molecule component, using visible, UV radiation, solar light. The suitability photocatalyst decompose was confirmed batch photoreactor under Visible with degradation rates up 90% after 30 min irradiation low adsorption values. coated glass support material at packed bed showed good photoactivity emergent contaminants (95%) radiation. It has been possible verify photocatalytic reactor system constitutes viable eliminating through sustainable treatments. Our results corroborate possibility degrading by radiation photoreactor, providing more effective from practical economical point view effluent
