Application of a semiconductor oxide-based catalyst in heterogeneous wastewater treatment: A green technology approach

The use of chlorine bleaching in study and pulp industry has resulted in chlorinated phenol contaminated wastewater from that industry. A new wastewater treatment process, sonophotodegradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) in a heterogeneous aqueous system was investigated and reported in this stud...

description The use of chlorine bleaching in study and pulp industry has resulted in chlorinated phenol contaminated wastewater from that industry. A new wastewater treatment process, sonophotodegradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) in a heterogeneous aqueous system was investigated and reported in this study. TCP was degraded with ultrasonic or ultraviolet irradiation or a combination of both, in the presence of titanium dioxide semiconductor catalyst (anatase and/or rutile), in order to study the effectiveness of sonocatalysis, photocatalysis and sonophotocatalysis oxidation in a batch sonophotoreactor system. Preliminary studies presented in this study suggested that rutile worked well under sonocatalysis, anatase was the preference for photocatalysis and sonophotocatalysis benefited from a combined rutile and anatase mixture catalyst. Sonophotocatalysis oxidation of TCP demonstrated a degradation that was higher than sonocatalysis or photocatalysis individually while the first-order kinetics rate constants indicated that sonophotocatalysis degradation of TCP was synergistic with a positive value of 0.0203 in the presence of the mixture catalyst.
