Photocatalytic Degradation of Benzene and Toluene in Aqueous Medium
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
The resource intensive human activities (such as mining and extraction of mineral oils for betterment of life and modernization of society) have increased environmental pollution several folds. Products of mining and petrochemical industries are advantageous for the modern society. But waste generated such as BTEX from such industries are carcinogenic, toxic and causes adverse effects on environment and human health. These wastes are classified as hazardous waste which cannot be used further. Pollution of soil-water interface due to the release of hydrocarbons in environment is a major public health concern, and therefore, remediation of these pollutants is needed to reduce risk to human and environment. Various methods such as biological, chemical and physical method are used to degrade these pollutants from wastewater. In the present works photochemical degradation of toluene and benzene in wastewater are studied using activated Carbon−TiO2 composites as catalysts in the presence of UV irradiation in photochemical reactor. Composites are prepared by sol-gel method and further characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transformed-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The Photocatalytic efficiencies of the synthesized composites were determined by the mineralization of toluene and benzene under UV irradiation in photochemical reactor.

متن کاملPhotocatalytic Degradation of Linear Alkyl Benzene Solfunate from Aqueous Solution by Tio2 Nanoparticles
The possibility of linear alkyl benzene solfunate (LAS) photocatalytic degradation through application of TiO2 nanoparticles was investigated. 10(mg/L) of LAS has been affected by either UV or TiO2 and simultaneous use of both of them in separated experiments. Moreover, the effect of initial concentrations of LAS and TiO2, pH, present various anions and different UV power was studied to determi...

In this paper, the photocatalytic (UV-A/TiO2) degradation of two steroid hormones: norethisterone and danazol in aqueous medium has been studied using immobilized titanium dioxide as photocatalyst. The photolytic degradation (degradation without photocatalyst) of the two hormones was also investigated. UV-A irradiation was provided by black light lamp 18 W. The photocatalytic and photolytic deg...
متن کاملTitanium dioxide mediated photocatalytic degradation of malathion in aqueous phase
The photocatalytic degradation of technical grade pesticide ‘malathion’ has been studied in aqueous suspensions of TiO2. The main aim of using this process is to degrade the toxic complex structure of the pesticide to harmless products by treating the sample in the UV-reactor. The COD measurements are carried out in order to study the percentage mineralization and degradation is studied under d...
