Potential use of four types of fly ash waste as raw material for synthesis of photo- catalysts to be applied for wastewater treatment was investigated. In this respect the four selected fly ash types were subject to morphological characterization by dimensional analysis of particles and scanning electronic microscopy on to composition characterization by thermogravimetric analyses and X-ray fluorescence. Their potential to be used for advanced degradation of organic compounds via heterogeneous photocatalysis was i...

Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a cytostatic drug prescribed at large scale, which proved to induce toxic effect on ecosystems and cannot be removed by conventional wastewater treatment processes. Therefore, there is a need to test advanced degradation processes for its removal from wastewater discharges. CP photocatalytic degradation via UV-VIS irradiation was studied using a Nitrogen -doped TiO2 catalyst. The catalyst was synthesized as thin film deposited on glass substrate under nitrogen atmosphere technique. The inf...

Bisphenol A (C15H16O2) 2,2-(4,4?-dihydroxydiphenyl) propane (BPA) is known for its endocrine disrupting properties in human body in addition to various other harmful effects. BPA has been detected in the aquatic environment at concentration levels varying from nanograms to micrograms per litre of water in many countries and regions. Due to the inefficiency of BPA removal using the common water treatment methods (physicochemical, biological, and electrochemical), advanced oxidation process was applied. UV-VIS photo...
