A closed-cycle technology regarding the use of an exhausted Pd-based adsorbent as a photocatalyst in the degradation process of phenol is presented. Pd (II) represents a precious metal of great economic importance. Its obtained from natural sources become more difficult to achieve. Therefore, also considering the regulations of the “circular economy,” its recovery from secondary sources turn out to be a stringent issue in the last years. Pd(II) ions are removed from aqueous solution through adsorption onto Florisil (an inorganic solid support—magnesium silicate) impregnated with Cyphos IL 101 (trihexyl tetradecyl phosphonium chloride). It was observed that the presence of the ionic liquid (IL) in the adsorbent structure doubles the adsorption efficiency of the studied materials. The newly obtained Pd-based photocatalyst was exhaustively characterized and was used in the degradation process of phenol from aqueous solutions. The phenol degradation process was studied in terms of the nature of the photocatalyst used, time of photodegradation and solid: liquid ratio. It was observed that both the presence of IL and Pd lead to an increase in the efficiency of the phenol degradation process. The new Pd-based photocatalyst could be efficiently used in more cycles of phenol photodegradation processes. When is used as a photocatalyst the Florisil impregnated with IL and loaded with 2 mg/g of Pd, a degree of mineralization of 93.75% is obtained after 180 min of irradiation of a phenol solution having a concentration of 20 mg/L and using a solid:liquid ratio = 1:1.

Degradation properties of phenol using nano-TiO2 as photocatalyst in aqueous solution were investigated. The effect of annealing temperature and ionic modification on the degradation was studied. The results showed that, 500 °C annealed TiO2 was better than 700 °C annealed. Photocatalyst nano-TiO2 material doped with Fe3+ was prepared quickly by sol-gel process and was used as photocatalyst to degrade phenol solution of 100mg/L under UV irradiation for 3 hours. UV spectrophotometer testing was made and found that two peaks at 210 nm and 270 nm were significantly become low, indicating that the phenol has been degraded. The phenol degradation rate was 94.18%.

Corncob xylitol residue was soaked with H3PO4 for 16h and carbonized in microwave for 9min to obtain activated carbon. The adsorbing property of the activated carbon was investigated. Results showed phenol could be adsorbed effectively by activated carbon and the optimum adsorbing condition was: 20°C, 2h, pH 3-4. Increasing the amount of activated carbon could adsorb more phenol, and this effect was not apparent when the amount of activated carbon was more than 0.5g when adsorbing 100mL of 200mg/L phenol solution.

In this study, a synthetic phenol solution of water and raw olive mill wastewater (OMW) were considered to achieve purification of the aqueous streams from pollutants. Only OMW was initially submitted to a coagulation/flocculation process, to reduce the turbidity, phenols, and chemical oxygen demand (COD). This first treatment appeared to be mandatory in order to remove solids from wastewater, allowing the successive use of laboratory-made core-shell nanocomposites. In detail, the optimal coagulant concentration, i.e., chitosan, was 500 mg/L, allowing a reduction of the turbidity and the COD value by 90% and 33%, respectively. After this, phenol wastewater was tested for photocatalysis and then OMW was treated by employing the laboratory-made nanocomposites in a photoreactor equipped with visible light sources and using optimal catalyst concentrations, which allowed for an additional 45% reduction of the COD of the OMW. In addition to this, the effect of the operating temperature was investigated on the photocatalytic process, and suitable kinetic models proposed.
