The aim of this study was to investigate the structural characteristics and antioxidant activities of soy protein isolate- (SPI-) dextran conjugates obtained by TiO2 photocatalysis treatment. Results revealed that the UV-vis absorption and the fluorescence intensity increased as the photocatalytic power increased (P < 0.05). Higher photocatalytic power could promote the extent of glycation and ...

Arsenic (As) poses a threat to human health. In 2014, more than 200 million people faced arsenic exposure through drinking water, as estimated by the World Health Organization. Additionally, it is that water with proper microbiological quality unavailable for 1 billion people. The present work analyzed solar heterogeneous photocatalytic (HP) process arsenite (AsIII) oxidation and coliform disin...

In this study, the photodegradation and the mineralization of a cationic dye Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solution was investigated, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, using a photocatalyst based on copper modified natural zeolite (Z-Cu). Comparative studies of photolysis, photocatalysis on the monocationic form of zeolite (Z-Na) and photocatalysis on Z-Cu, quantified in terms of process...

Over the years, there has been an increase in consumption of drugs, particularly antibiotics. Amoxicillin (AMX) is considered one most widely used antibiotics, causing resistance microorganisms ecosystem where it found. Additionally, cataloged among drugs under surveillance by European Commission since 2020. The present work studies efficiency AMX degradation photolysis and heterogeneous solar ...

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a technology widely applied to water purification and wastewater treatment under ultraviolet (UV) or even sunlight irradiation for the removal of variety environmental pollutants into harmless species. Application membrane immobilization semiconductors their suitability in photocatalytic degradation dyes have recently been developed. Integration with processes sig...

Abstract Advances in LED and photoreactor technology have brought semiconductor photocatalysis to the verge of feasibility industrial application for synthesis value-added chemicals. However, often observed efficiency losses under intensified illumination conditions still present a great challenge. This perspective discusses origin these what needs be done prevent or counteract it pave way effi...

Hydrogen production via photocatalytic water splitting using sunlight has enormous potential in solving the worldwide energy and environmental crisis. The key challenge in this process is to develop efficient photocatalysts which must satisfy several criteria such as high chemical and photochemical stability, effective charge separation and strong sunlight absorption. The combination of differe...
