Photochemical degradation of nitroaromatic pollutants using UV-based advanced oxidation technologies

Photochemical degradation of nitroaromatic pollutants using UV-based advanced oxidation technologies

Nitroaromatic compounds, such as nitrobenzene and nitrophenols, are present in industrial effluents from the production of dyestuffs, pesticides and various organic intermediates. They are considered as toxic and hazardous substances by the Pollution Control Department (PCD) of the Ministry of the E...
