Solar photo-degradation of aniline with rGO/TiO composites and persulfate.

The solar photodegradation of aniline using reduced graphene oxide-based composites (rGO/TiO) and different electron acceptors such as HO and persulfate (PS) has been studied. To this end, an innovative self-sufficient drum reactor (operating with solar irradiation and artificial UV light) has been employed. The role of radicals and the new graphene morphology is evaluated.

Operation costs of the solar photo-catalytic degradation of pharmaceuticals in water: A mini-review.

The removal of pharmaceuticals present in wastewater is receiving more and more attention since most of them are refractory to traditional biological treatments. Many advanced oxidation processes have been reported in literature. However, cost estimations are not available for most of them.

A novel combined solar pasteurizer/TiO continuous-flow reactor for decontamination and disinfection of drinking water.

A new combined solar plant including an annular continuous-flow compound parabolic collector (CPC) reactor and a pasteurization system was designed, built, and tested for simultaneous drinking water disinfection and chemical decontamination. The plant did not use pumps and had no electricity costs. First, water continuously flowed through the CPC reactor and then entered the pasteurizer.
