Treayment of some industrial pollutants by photocatalytic techniques

Textile mills are major consumers of water and consequently one of the largest groups of industries causing intense water pollution. The effluent contains wide range of chemicals of varying kinds. Reactive dyes are not responsive to biodegradation. The cuStrong colour is another important component of textile wastewater. If colour is not removed, this may cause disturbance to the ecological system of the receiving waters. Thus, many processes have been proposed over the years and are currently employed toOne of the new methods of treatment of wastewater containing dyes is Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) involving hydroxyl radicals, ●OH, and have gained increasing interest in treatment of industrial and drinking wastewater to remove organic and inorgani
