3D Pt@ZnAl-LDH catalyst on low-grade charcoal: A novel electrochemical platform for efficient textile dye degradation and glycerol oxidation.

The development of sustainable and efficient electrochemical processes is crucial for addressing global challenges related to water scarcity. In this study, we present a novel 3D core-shell electrocatalyst, Pt@ZnAl-LDH, supported on low-grade charcoal (LGC), which exhibits exceptional electrocatalytic activity for the degradation and decolorization of dye and the electrocatalytic conversion of glycerol to valuable C chemicals. The electrocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye from water was investigated with a focus on the impact of temperature, pH, and dye concentration.

Electrocoagulation for the removal of phenol and aldehyde contaminants from resin effluent.

This paper is a report on a study which aimed to investigate the effect of different current density, pH, temperature, and cathode-anode combination on the removal of phenol and aldehyde in two samples of actual resin effluent through the process of electrocoagulation using solar energy. Current density 60 A/m(2) and pH 6 proved to be the best levels for both contaminants. As for the effect of temperature, although the highest degree of phenol and aldehyde removal was achieved at 15 °C, 25 °C was taken to be the optimum temperature for economic reasons.

Treatment of colored and real industrial effluents through electrocoagulation using solar energy.

This study was undertaken to investigate the removal of Acid Orange 2 (sodium 4-[(2E)-2-(2-oxonaphthalen-1-ylidene) hydrazinyl] benzenesulfonate) and Reactive Blue 19 (2-Anthracenesulfonicacid,1-amino-9,10-dihydro-9,10-dioxo-4-[[3-[[2-(sulfooxy) ethyl] sulfonyl] phenyl] amino]-,sodium salt (1:2)) from synthesized and real effluents through electrocoagulation using solar cells for the purpose of improving economic efficiency of the process. The impact of a number of key operating parameters was explored including current density, anode type, temperature, pH, and electrolyte concentration. The current density of 45 Am(-2) proved to be the optimum level for both dyes.

Photoelectrocatalytic degradation of acid dye using Ni-TiO2 with the energy supplied by solar cell: mechanism and economical studies.

This paper reports an investigation into the effect of a number of operating factors on the removal of Acid Red 88 from an aqueous solution through photoelectrocatalysis: photocatalyst dose, dye concentration, pH, bias potential, and electrolyte concentration. The photocatalyst was Ni-TiO2 applied in suspension to the solution to achieve a larger catalyst surface area. The optimum values for photocatalyst dose, dye concentration, and electrolyte concentration turned out to be 0.

Adsorption of an azo dye in an aqueous solution using hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB).

This paper reports an investigation into the effect of a number of operating factors on the removal of Acid Blue 92 (AB92) from an aqueous solution using hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) as an adsorbent. The optimum values of adsorbent dose and pH were found to be 35mgL(-1) and 6, respectively. Temperature showed a significant effect, with maximum dye removal being observed at 45°C.
