Photocatalytic purification of textile wastewater using P-25 TiO2 and Merck ZnO metaloxide nanoparticles
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
The domestic use and industrial activity, especially in developing countries, produce large amount of wastewater. This wastewater when disposed into natural channels may lead to high pollution risk. The main objective of the present study is to find out effective method which can brings out complete mineralization and degradation of non-biodegradable and toxic organic compounds which are present in real textile effluents. There are different methods for wastewater treatment. Currently chemical methods such as advance oxidation processes (AOPs) appear to be more promising for the treatment of textile industrial effluents. The present work has been concentrated on the degradation of real textile industrial effluent 2 (ARV). The said effluent was subjected to photocatalytic treatment using different photo catalysts. The effluent 2 (ARV) was analyzed before and after the treatment for their physiochemical parameters, COD, TOC and presence of inorganic ions. Throughout the study it was observed that, Degussa P-25 TiO2 nanoparticles effectively brings out the degradation of effluent 2 (ARV) than Merck ZnO nanoparticles. Hence, the photocatalytic degradation was found to be fruitful treatment for degradation of real textile industrial effluent.
