Natural sunlight-driven photocatalytic mineralization of petrochemical wastewater using ceramic-supported Fe, B co-doped TiO2/CNT@WO3 in a flat panel photoreactor
This work presents the development of a sunlight-driven photocatalytic system for effective degradation of real petrochemical wastewater containing phthalic anhydride. To this end, a photocatalyst comprising Fe, B co-doped TiO2 decorated with WO3 wrapped around carbon nanotube (CNT@WO3) was synthesized using sol-gel method, and immobilized as a thin film on sintered ceramic substrates. A flat-panel photoreactor was designed to maximize sunlight exposure and enhance photocatalytic activity. Under 40 h of natural sunlight irradiation, the immobilized photocatalyst achieved 53 %, and 41 % removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC), respectively, along with an 88 % reduction in turbidity. The specific activity (11.85 ppm. g−1.h−1) and the energy efficiency (611.62 kWh.m−3.order−1) were determined for the conducted photocatalytic degradation. The oxidant-assisted photocatalytic reaction using H2O2 and Na2S2O8 led to further improved efficiency. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis validated the extent of photocatalytic degradation of the contaminants. The immobilized photocatalyst exhibited excellent stability over 10 consecutive reaction cycles. Radical scavenging experiments revealed that hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are dominant species driving the degradation reaction. Formation of the •OH radicals was further confirmed using photoluminescence method and coumarin as a probe molecule.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Water Process Engineering aims to publish refereed, high-quality research papers with significant novelty and impact in all areas of the engineering of water and wastewater processing . Papers on advanced and novel treatment processes and technologies are particularly welcome. The Journal considers papers in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology applications in water, novel oxidation and separation processes, membrane processes (except those for desalination) , catalytic processes for the removal of water contaminants, sustainable processes, water reuse and recycling, water use and wastewater minimization, integrated/hybrid technology, process modeling of water treatment and novel treatment processes. Submissions on the subject of adsorbents, including standard measurements of adsorption kinetics and equilibrium will only be considered if there is a genuine case for novelty and contribution, for example highly novel, sustainable adsorbents and their use: papers on activated carbon-type materials derived from natural matter, or surfactant-modified clays and related minerals, would not fulfil this criterion. The Journal particularly welcomes contributions involving environmentally, economically and socially sustainable technology for water treatment, including those which are energy-efficient, with minimal or no chemical consumption, and capable of water recycling and reuse that minimizes the direct disposal of wastewater to the aquatic environment. Papers that describe novel ideas for solving issues related to water quality and availability are also welcome, as are those that show the transfer of techniques from other disciplines. The Journal will consider papers dealing with processes for various water matrices including drinking water (except desalination), domestic, urban and industrial wastewaters, in addition to their residues. It is expected that the journal will be of particular relevance to chemical and process engineers working in the field. The Journal welcomes Full Text papers, Short Communications, State-of-the-Art Reviews and Letters to Editors and Case Studies
