Removal of methyl orange using combined ZnO/FeO/ZnO-Zn composite coated to the aluminium foil in the presence of simulated solar radiation.

In this paper, the optimal preparative conditions (current density, deposition temperature, calcination temperature) for the original electrochemical synthesis of ZnO-Zn coating on aluminum foil support (ZnAF) were examined and determined the application for the removal of methyl orange (MO). Optimal application conditions for removing MO (volume and concentration of a treated solution) were also determined. In the following, four immobilized ZnO/FeO photocatalysts with different molar ratios of Zn to Fe (0.

Efficient removal of sulcotrione and its formulated compound Tangenta® in aqueous TiO2 suspension: Stability, photoproducts assessment and toxicity.

The photocatalytic degradation of the herbicide sulcotrione (0.05 mM) and its formulated compound Tangenta® in aqueous suspensions of TiO2 Degussa P25 was examined as a function of the different operational parameters. The optimum of the catalyst loading was found to be 2.

Degradation of thiacloprid in aqueous solution by UV and UV/H2O2 treatments.

Although some studies concerning flash photolysis and photocatalytic ozonation of thiacloprid have already been published, no complete investigation and explanation of the effects of thiacloprid photodegradation under the conditions of UV and UV/H(2)O(2) (high-pressure mercury lamp and H(2)O(2)) have been reported yet. The photochemical degradation of thiacloprid (0.32 mM) was studied under a variety of solution conditions, by varying the initial concentrations of H(2)O(2) from 0 to 162 mM and the pH from 2.
