Abstract

In this study, we reported that the electroplating sludges, a solid waste of the electroplating process, could be employed as an effective and novel photocatalyst for removing methylene blue in an aqueous solution. The treated materials were comprehensively characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, and BET. The obtained results showed that the chemical composition of electroplating sludges contained a large amount of various metal oxides that would be beneficial for photocatalysis. As expected, the best photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (removal ~ 98.0%) was found to be at a concentration of 20 ppm and pH of 9 under Xenon light irradiation time of 120 min. In addition, the as-treatment electroplating sludges also exhibited high removal efficiency in real wastewater in terms of TOC and COD values, proving electroplating sludges as an effective and promising photocatalyst for removing methylene blue and other organic pollutants in actual wastewater.

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology (IJEST) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of environmental science and technology, innovation, engineering and management. A broad outline of the journal''s scope includes: peer reviewed original research articles, case and technical reports, reviews and analyses papers, short communications and notes to the editor, in interdisciplinary information on the practice and status of research in environmental science and technology, both natural and man made. The main aspects of research areas include, but are not exclusive to; environmental chemistry and biology, environments pollution control and abatement technology, transport and fate of pollutants in the environment, concentrations and dispersion of wastes in air, water, and soil, point and non-point sources pollution, heavy metals and organic compounds in the environment, atmospheric pollutants and trace gases, solid and hazardous waste management; soil biodegradation and bioremediation of contaminated sites; environmental impact assessment, industrial ecology, ecological and human risk assessment; improved energy management and auditing efficiency and environmental standards and criteria.
