Project

Development of advanced TiO2-based photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants from wastewater.

The treatment of wastewater for the removal of organic pollutants is a world-wide concern. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are known as powerful methods, able to decompose toxic organic pollutants. One of the well-established AOP methods for water treatment is photocatalysis with TiO2/UV radiation. The improvement of AOP method for photocatalysis with TiO2 under solar light remains a big challenge. The main goal of this project is therefore the development of sustainable TiO2 based photocatalysts working under solar light for removal of pollutants(dyes) from wastewater.
