Advanced photooxidation of surfactants in wastewater

Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 12

Abstract

Photocatalytic methods were applied to remove Triton X-100 and wash-up liquid from wastewater. For the studies Al2O3 supported TiO2 photocatalysts were used. They were modified with Cu or Zn using Classical or Double Impregnation Method. Photocatalytic materials were characterised by N2 adsorption-desorption, XRF, XRD, SEM-EDX, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy. All the catalysts were efficient in the removal of surfactants. The addition of H2O2 (0.01vol.%) does not deepen the removal of studied pollutants. The best results were obtained during first two hours of treatment.
