AbstractIn view of promising efficiency of advanced oxidation process, ZnO/UV/H2O2 based advanced oxidation process (AOP) was employed for the degradation of Disperse Red-60 (DR-60) in aqueous medium. The process variables such as concentration of catalysts, reaction time, pH, dye initial concentration and H2O2 dose were evaluated for maximum degradation of dye. The maximum degradation of 97% was achieved at optimum conditions of H2O2 (0.9 mL/L), ZnO (0.6 g/L) at pH 9.0 in 60 min irradiation time. The analysis of treated dye solution revealed the complete degradation under the effect of ZnO/UV/H2O2 treatment. The water quality parameters were also studied of treated and un-treated dye solution and up to 79% COD and 60% BOD reductions were achieved when dye was treated with at optimum conditions. The dissolved oxygen increased up to 85.6% after UV/H2O2/ZnO treatment. The toxicity was also monitored using hemolytic and Ames tests and results revealed that toxicity (cytotoxicity and mutagenicity) was also reduced significantly. In view of promising efficiency of UV/H2O2/ZnO system, it could possibly be used for the treatment of wastewater containing toxic dyes.

The degradation of printing dyes from textile printing industry effluents was carried out by Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) in which heterogeneous photocatalytic treatment of textile printing wastewater using UV/H2O2/TiO2 system was studied. For the treatment of textile effluents different concentration of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and effect of application time of UV radiation was investigated. The degradation of treated wastewater was estimated spectrophotometrically. To check the extent of mineralization and decolorization after treatment water quality parameter such as percentage degradation, COD, BOD, TOC, pH, DO and toxicity were studied. Before treatment the values of water quality parameters were as; COD (1950 mg/L), BOD (963 mg/L), TOC (3410 mg/L), pH (9.6) and DO (1.77 mg/L). After application of UV/H2O2/TiO2 degradation was observed to be 72% and reduction in COD, BOD, TOC were 58%, 57%, 48%, and increase in DO level was up to 49% respectively. For the evaluation of the toxicity of photocatalyticaly treated wastewater, Allium cepa and brine shrimp test were also carried out before and after treatment of printing wastewater.

AbstractIn view of promising efficiency of advanced oxidation process (AOP), gamma radiation in combination with H2O2 was employed for the degradation of disperse red 73 (DR73) dye. Cs-137 gamma radiation source was used for dye aqueous solution irradiation. The process variables such as pH (3–9), H2O2 concentration (0.3–0.9 mL), gamma radiation absorbed dose (1–20 kGy) and DR73 initial concentration (50–150 mg/L) were optimized for maximum degradation of dye. The efficiency of AOP was evaluated on the basis of dye degradation, water quality parameters and toxicity reduction. Degradation of DR73 was achieved 69% using gamma radiation absorbed dose of 20 kGy and at the same dose 96.3% degradation was achieved in the presence of 0.9 mL/L H2O2. The dye degradation found to be dependent on dye initial concentration and pH of the medium. The radiolytic progress of DR73 was monitored by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) were reduced significantly in response of treatment of dye at optimum conditions of process variables. The toxicity of treated and un-treated dye solution was monitored by haemolytic and Ames assays. Results revealed that the toxicity of DR73 dye was also reduced significantly after treatment. Findings revealed that the gamma radiation based AOPs are promising and could possibly be used for the remediation of textile wastewater contains toxic dyes.

Abstract In the photochemical UV-H2O2 advanced oxidation process, H2O2 absorbs UV light and is decomposed to form hydroxyl radicals (OH·), which are highly excited and reactive for electron-rich organic compounds and hence can degrade organic compounds. In the present work, the UV-H2O2 process was investigated to degrade ciprofloxacin (CIP), one of India's widely used antibiotics, from aqueous solutions using a batch type UV reactor having photon flux = 1.9 (± 0.1) ×10-4 Einstein L-1 min-1. The effects of UV irradiation time on CIP degradation were investigated for both UV and UV-H2O2 processes. It was found that about 75% degradation of CIP was achieved within 60 s with initial CIP concentration and peroxide concentration of 10 mg L-1 and 1 mol H2O2/ mol CIP, respectively, at pH of 7(±0.1) and fluence dose of 113 mJ cm-2. The experimental data were analyzed by the first-order kinetics model to find out the time- and fluence-based degradation rate constants. Under optimized experimental conditions (initial CIP concentration, pH and H2O2 dose of 10 mg L-1, 7(±0.1) and 1.0 mol H2O2 / mol CIP, respectively), the fluence-based pseudo-first-order rate constant for the UV and UV-H2O2 processes were determined to be 1.28(±0.0) ×10-4 and 1.20(±0.04) ×10-2 cm2 mJ-1 respectively. The quantum yields at various pH under direct UV were calculated. The impacts of different process parameters such as H2O2 concentration, solution pH, initial CIP concentration, and wastewater matrix on CIP degradation were also investigated in detail. CIP degradation was favorable in acidic conditions. Six degradation products of CIP were identified. Results clearly showed the potentiality of the UV-H2O2 process for the degradation of antibiotics in wastewater.

AbstractThis study focuses on application of advanced oxidation (Photo-Fenton) processes to decolorize Basic Turquise Blue (BTB) X-GB 250% and Basic Blue (BB) X-GRRL 250% dyes. The percent decolorization was studied in terms of effect of variation in intensity of UV light at optimum conditions of all the parameters (pH = 3.0, H2O2 = 4.8 mM, FeSO4 = 1.6 mM, temperature = 50 °C, time = 80 min for BTB X-GB, and pH = 5.0, H2O2 = 5.6 mM, FeSO4 = 2.0 mM, temperature = 40 °C, time = 60 min for BB X-GRRL). Maximum decolorization was obtained at maximum intensity (15660 counts/min) of UV light as 96.17% for BTB X-GB and 88.48% for BB X-GRRL. First order, 2nd order and BMG kinetic models were used to analyze the data obtained for intensity of UV light. BMG model gives us the higher values of correlation coefficients for all data of both the dyes. The results have shown that Photo-Fenton oxidation process is the beneficial and effective for oxidation treatment of waste water effluents containing dyes as main pollutants.

Decolorization of red azo dye (Cibacron Red FN-R) from synthetic wastewater has been investigated as a function of solar advanced oxidation process. The photocatalytic activity using ZnO as a photocatalysis has been estimated. Different parameters affected the removal efficiency, including pH of the solution, initial dye concentration and H2O2 concentration were evaluated to find out the optimum value of these parameters. The results proved that the optimal pH value was 8 and the most efficient H2O2 concentration was 100mg/L. Toxicity reduction percent for effluent solution was also monitored to assess the degradation process. This treatment method was able to strongly reduce the color and toxicity of reactive red dye-238 to about (99 and 80) % respectively. It can be concluded, from these experiments, that the using of ZnO as a photocatalysis was exhibited as economical and efficient treatment method to remove reactive red dye-238 from aqueous solution.
