Effect of brookite on the photocatalytic properties of mixed-phase TiO2 obtained at a higher temperature

Paulina Szoldra et al.

Summary: This paper presents the synthesis and properties of nanometric TiO2 powders obtained by the sol-gel method at elevated temperatures. The presence of brookite inhibits the anatase-rutile transformation at higher temperatures. Even after the treatment of gel at 700 degrees C, a large amount of anatase in the TiO2 powders was found. Measurements in the UV-vis range were performed to determine the optical band-gap of TiO2. Results of photocatalytic tests for the degradation of RhB and NO under UV are also presented. The obtained powders despite being prepared at this temperature were more efficient in both RhB and NO decomposition compared to the reference sample. The results indicate the possibility of modifying materials that are produced or work at high temperatures, by adding TiO2 with high photocatalytic capacity in the UV range.

A critical review on the treatment of dye-containing wastewater: Ecotoxicological and health concerns of textile dyes and possible remediation approaches for environmental safety

Rania Al-Tohamy et al.

Summary: The synthetic dyes used in the textile industry cause pollution in water bodies, which has negative consequences on the environment and human health. It is important to effectively treat dye-containing wastewater using eco-friendly technologies to reduce contamination of aquatic habitats and natural water resources. This review discusses the effects of textile dyes on water bodies, aquatic flora, and human health, and compares various technologies for removing dyes from textile wastewater.
