This book was released on 2019 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water pollution is an alarming problem that endangers the health of all living beings. The textile industry is listed as one of the most contaminating industries, since in order to carry out its dyeing and finishing processes, it requires a large amount of water resources; by decades, this industry has used Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs), since they have several advantages (e. g. destruction of toxic substances, reduction of heavy metals, allowing their use in conjunction with other processes, among others). Among the AOPs, heterogeneous photocatalysis stands out for its high efficiency for the removal of contaminants, including azo dyes.In order to perform a photocatalytic process, it is necessary to have a photoreactor, which will require a photocatalyst and at least one light source that activates the catalyst. This type of photoreactors can present several problems, such as the use of high cost photocatalysts, the generation of toxic byproducts in some low photocatalysts, the high electrical consumption caused by the use of traditional lighting sources and even difficulties with the geometry of the photoreactors.Hence the scientific community has tried to optimize the photocatalytic processes, some scientists have worked in the generation of new photocatalysts to be able to use them in wavelengths generated by low cost lighting sources (e. g. visible light), nevertheless, which in many times it increases the price of the photocatalyst. Another approach is to reduce electricity consumption by opting for the replacement of traditional lamps with low consumption lighting, for example, LED lighting; However, this substitution is currently done arbitrarily, so sometimes some authors doubt the ability to use these sources in this type of process. Moreover, when trying to improve the lighting sources, the photoreactor can be altered, so it is important to take into account its characteristics in order to achieve a significant improvement.This thesis focuses on an optoelectronic optimization to improve the efficiency of the lighting sources used in photocatalytic reactors. For this, a methodology has been generated to calculate LED arrays using uniform irradiance models, this irradiance must be homogeneous, with enough energy to photoactivate the catalyst with the aim to replace the traditional lamps, avoiding the chemical alteration of the photocatalysts; Likewise, a photocatalytic reactor has been designed and implemented on a laboratory scale with ultraviolet illumination adjusted to its characteristics (i.e. geometry, dimensions, among others) to work with a low cost photocatalyst (TiO2) in the decolorization of wastewater with textile dyes. Finally, in-situ monitoring has been designed and implemented in order to analyze the decolorization of textile water, this type of monitoring avoids the collection of water samples during the process, without altering the geometry of the reactor or reducing the volume of treated water in the reactor.

Download or read book Advanced Nano Bio Technologies for Water and Soil Treatment written by Jan Filip and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-17 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are proposing this comprehensive volume aimed at bridging and bonding of the theory and practical experiences for the elimination of a broad range of pollutants from various types of water and soil utilizing innovative nanotechnologies, biotechnologies and their possible combinations. Nowadays, a broad range of contaminants are emerging from the industry (and also representing old ecological burdens). Accidents and improper wastewater treatment requires a fast, efficient and cost-effective approach. Therefore, several innovative technologies of water and soil treatments have been invented and suggested in a number of published papers. Out of these, some nanotechnologies and biotechnologies (and possibly also their mutual combinations) turned out to be promising for practical utilization – i.e., based on both extensive laboratory testing and pilot-scale verification. With respect to the diverse character of targeted pollutants, the key technologies covered in this book will include oxidation, reduction, sorption and/or biological degradation. In relation to innovative technologies and new emerging pollutants mentioned in this proposed book, an important part will also cover the ecotoxicity of selected pollutants and novel nanomaterials used for remediation. Thus, this work will consist of 8 sections/chapters with a technical appendix as an important part of the book, where some technical details and standardized protocols will be clearly presented for their possible implementation at different contaminated sites. Although many previously published papers and books (or book chapters) are devoted to some aspects of nano-/biotechnologies, here we will bring a first complete and comprehensive treatise on the latest progress in innovative technologies with a clear demonstration of the applicability of particular methods based on results of the authors from pilot tests (i.e., based on the data collected within several applied projects, mainly national project “Environmentally friendly nanotechnologies and biotechnologies in water and soil treatment” of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, and 7FP project NANOREM: “Taking Nanotechnological Remediation Processes from Lab Scale to End User Applications for the Restoration of a Clean Environment”). This multidisciplinary book will be suitable for a broad audience including environmental scientists, practitioners, policymakers and toxicologists (and of course graduate students of diverse fields – material science, chemistry, biology, geology, hydrogeology, engineering etc.).
