This work introduces a biochar as novel catalyst prepared from the pistachio hull, and demonstrates its catalytic potential for degrading the reactive red 198 (RR198) dye in catalytic ozonation processes (COPs). The prepared pistachio hull biochar (PHB) was a macroporous, basic material with low specific surface area. PHB had the greatest catalytic potential at an optimal alkaline pH of 10. Sig...

In this study, a new strategy in catalytic ozonation removal method for degradation of phenol from industrial wastewater was investigated. Magnetic carbon nano composite as a novel catalyst was synthesized, characterized and then used in the catalytic ozonation process (COP) and compared with the single ozonation process (SOP). The influential parameters were all investigated. The results showe...

Catalytic effects of cupric ion (Cu2+) and zero-valent copper (Cu0) on ozonation in aqueous solution were discussed this research using 1,4-dioxane as a radical probe. Ozonation with Cu0 enhance...

BACKGROUND The herbicide alachlor (2-chloro-2'6'-diethyl-N-methoxymethylacetanilide) has been known as a probable human carcinogen, and the MCL (minimum contamination level) for drinking water has been set at 2 μg L-1. Therefore, the advanced methods for effectively removing it from water are a matter of interest. Catalyzed ozonation is a promising method for refractory organics degradation. Cu...

Catalytic ozonation is progressively becoming an attractive technique for quick water purification but efficient and stable catalysts remains elusive. Here we solvothermally synthesized highly-dispersed Co3O4 nanocrystals over microscale nitrogen-doping graphene (NG) nanosheets and tested it as a synthetic catalyst in the ozonation of phenol in aqueous solutions. Transmission electron microscop...

This study examines the removal of p-CBA via application heterogeneous catalytic ozonation in presence 13 minerals. The solids were used as raw materials or after hydrophilic/hydrophobic modification. optimal minerals zeolite, calcite, dolomite, and thermally treated talc. kinetic showed that decomposition ozone followed a first-order model for all systems, whereas depended on applied. degradat...
