Nano-structured catalyst for the removal of humic acid in integrated membrance/PCO system
In this study, novel nano-structured photocatalyst were fabricated in the laboratory. Results obtained from adsorption test of humic acids on the photocatalyst revealed that the best adsorption efficiency took place at low pH and high photocatalyst loadings. Experimental work was conducted to invest...

| Summary: | In this study, novel nano-structured photocatalyst were fabricated in the laboratory. Results obtained from adsorption test of humic acids on the photocatalyst revealed that the best adsorption efficiency took place at low pH and high photocatalyst loadings. Experimental work was conducted to investigate the effects of the various parameters on the PCO degradation of humic acid using the photocatalyst. Results revealed the effective oxidation of humic acid and recovery and reuse of the photocatalyst proved much easier due to its particle size. |
