Comparative analysis of chlorinated intermediates formed during electrochemical and photo(electro)catalytic degradation of 4-Ethylphenol in saline media

(Corresponding) Brüninghoff R., van Duijne A., Braakhuis L., Saha P., Jeremiasse A., Mei B., (Corresponding) Mul G.
Topic: 
Advanced oxidation processes
Formation of toxic by-products, such as chlorinated intermediates, is one of the major drawbacks of advanced oxidation processes for saline wastewater treatment. Here a comparative analysis of electrochemical oxidation and photocatalytic degradation of 4-Ethylphenol, a non-chlorinated starting...Read more

Successful use of UV light driven photocatalytic oxidation for the removal of an emergent water contaminant

SESCU A., FAVIER L., LUTIC D., CIOBANU G., (Corresponding) HARJA M.
Topic: 
Water treatment
The discharged pharmaceutical compounds in water have created environmental problems due to their harmful potential at low concentrations. Finding an environmentally friendly treatment process is a real challenge to avoid water contamination. Heterogeneous photocatalysis, can be used for the...Read more

TiO2/CoFe2O4/Ag NANOCOMPOSITES FOR PHOTOCATALYTIC REDUCTION OF WATER POLLUTANTS UNDER UV AND SOLAR LIGHT

(Corresponding) Falaras P., Ibrahim I.
Topic: 
Water treatment
Novel ternary catalysts TiO2/CoFe2O4/Ag with variable ferrite content were synthesized, characterized and used for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr+6 pollutant, under UV and visible light illumination. Both TiO2 and CoFe2O4 were synthesized using the sol-gel method followed by hydrothermal...Read more

Aqueous synthesized mixed-phase nano-TiO2 photocatalysts for water treatment of both organic and inorganic pollutants

(Corresponding) Chalastara K., Demopoulos G.
Topic: 
Nanomaterials in the environmnents applications and effects
Nano-sized mixed-phase titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles are synthesized through aqueous hydrolytic precipitation of TiCl4, in an easily-scalable continuously stirred tank reactor, CSTR. Different conditions give tunable mixed phase nanotitania particles consisting of anatase (A), rutile (R) or...Read more

Photocatalytic degradation of magenta effluent from the printing industry with composite catalyst

(Corresponding) Kerkez D., Pucar Milidrag D., Bečelić-Tomin M., Gvoić V., Kulić Mandić A., Leovac Maćerak A., Tomašević Pilipović D.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
Water pollution is one of the most current problems related to human life and survival. The high degree of pollution of the human environment is contributed, among other things, by the discharge of industrial wastewater into rivers, among which wastewater from the graphic industry is of great...Read more

Development and demonstration of an eco-innovative system for sustainable treatment and reuse of municipal wastewater in small and medium size communities in the Mediterranean region

(Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A., Takavakoglou V., Chatzis V., Oller-Alberola I., Polo-López I., Al-Naboulsi T., El Moll A., Kallali H., Mensi K., M'Hiri F., Simon Andreu P.
Topic: 
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
Treated municipal wastewater is considered a valuable non-conventional water resource. However, a substantial number of wastewater treatment plants installed in the Mediterranean region have proven to be unsuccessful copies of systems operating in technolo-gically advanced countries. In addition to...Read more
