ORGANIC POLLUTANTS IN WATER

Keith, L.H., Identification and Analysis of Organic Pollutants in Water, Ann Arbor Science, Ann Arbor, MI, 1976. 

The oxidative degradation of organic pollutants in water and air streams is considered as one of the so-called advanced oxidation processes. Photocatalytic decomposition of organics found widespread industrial interest for air purification (e.g., decomposition of aldehydes, removal of NO , ), deodorization, sterilization, and disinfection. Domestic applications based on Ti02 photocatalysts such as window self-cleaning, bathroom paints that work under illumination with room light, or filters for air conditioners operating under UV lamp illumination have already been commercialized. Literature-based information on the multidisciplinary field of photocatalytic anti-pollutant systems can be found in a number of publications, such as Bahnemann s [237, 238] (and references therein).

The photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanomaterials for the degradation of some organic pollutants in water [173] (e.g., dyes [174]) was explored by several groups to achieve environmental benefits. Recent studies have indicated that ZnO can be used under acidic or alkaline conditions with the proper treatment [175,176]. ZnO nanomaterials were used as photocatalysts for the degradation of phenol [177] and chlorinated phenols such as 2,4,6-trichlorophenol [178]. ZnO nanomaterials were also used for the degradation of Methylene Blue [179], direct dyes [180], Acid Red [181], and Ethyl Violet [182],...
