Textile industries consume large volumes of water for dye processing, leading to undesirable toxic dyes in water bodies. Dyestuffs are harmful to human health and aquatic life, and such illnesses as cholera, dysentery, hepatitis A, and hinder the photosynthetic activity of aquatic plants. To overcome this environmental problem, the advanced oxidation process is a promising technique to minerali...

A comparison of the photoefficiency of Ni(II) and NiS incorporated into zeolite P towards photodecolorization of Eriochrome Black T dye solution was investigated in a photocatalytic reactor using UV lamp as a light source. The effect of various experimental variables on the decolorization performance of the process was evaluated by examining catalyst dosage, temperature, initial dye concentrati...

Abstract In this work, the multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) based gold-zinc oxide (Au-ZnO) nanocomposite has been synthesized for visible light driven photocatalytic decolorization of reactive blue-4 (RB4) dye. The Au-ZnO/MWCNTs nanophotocatalyst successfully via thermal treatment method at 600 0C. physico-chemical properties MWCNTs and have investigated powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectr...

A series of tungestophosphoric acid and vanadium oxide supported on Mesocellulous Silica Foams (MCFs) featuring a well-defined three-dimensional (3D) mesoporosity were studied with regard to their performance in the photocatalytic activity to degrade Oezine Y (OY). This nanosized mesoporous catalyst (PW12@V-MCF) was characterized by FTIR, XRD, BET and TEM. XRD shows that the structure of MCF re...

Fe3O4-containing cotton-like mesoporous silica system (Fe3O4@NCSM) was studied with regard to its performance towards the photodecolorization of bromothymol blue (BTB) aqueous solution. The surface properties of the functionalized catalyst were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like FTIR, XRD, BET, SEM and TEM. The N2 Adso...

   ZnO structures with different dopants (1mol% Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu and Ni) have been synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method using sucrose as a template. These doped ZnO nanostructures characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL). The photocatalytic property of these synthesized materials was studied by a pho...
