Photocatalytic Degradation of Microplastics with Sunlight

Is photocatalytic oxidation a sustainable technology for microplastic removal from water? A critical review

Synthesis of metal organic framework-based hydrogel for microplastics removal from aquatic environments

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has emerged as a pressing global environmental problem. Current research in this field remains exploratory because there is a lack of standards, methods, and policies for the detection, removal, and regulation of MPs discharge. In this study, a series of metal–organic framework (MOFs)-inco...

Enhanced visible-light photo-fenton-like degradation of microplastics using nitrogen-doped TiO2 and cobalt Prussian blue analogue

Microplastic pollution is a global concern infiltrating every aspect of our environment and food chain. Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are ineffective at removing microplastics (MPs), necessitating advanced degradation approaches. Among various techniques, Fenton and photo-Fenton processes emerge as p...

Ball-milled titanium-modified biochar for the removal of dimethyl phthalate from aqueous solutions.

Dimethyl phthalate (DMP), a widely occurring organic pollutant in water bodies, has attracted considerable attention for its hazards. In this research, using Suaeda glauca biochar (SGBC) as a carrier, a series of TiO₂/SGBC composites were prepared via ball milling and their photocatalytic performance for DMP degradatio...

Photodegradation of methylene blue in a continuous-flow microchannel using titanium dioxide photocatalyst

Recently, dye pollution in water sources, especially methylene blue, has significantly affected living beings and the environment. Research has been focused on the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue because this technique is affordable, reusable, and environmentally sustainable. This involves employing a cont...

Solar-Driven Photocatalytic Ceramic Membrane Reactors for Paracetamol Degradation: Process Optimization, Transport Dynamics, and Preliminary Cyclic Reusability

The use of membrane separation and heterogeneous photocatalysis together appears to be an innovative way to remove long-lasting pollutants such as paracetamol (PCT) from water. To overcome the limited process by understanding hindering the practical deployment of solar-driven photocatalytic membrane reactors (PMRs), th...
