In this study, methylene blue (MB) was chosen as a model dye to test a novel photocatalytic reactor using titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofilm. TiO2 photocatalysis is a light-activated process that has been successfully applied to remove organic and inorganic pollutants from water and wastewater. The re

This study evaluates the effectiveness of polyaluminium chloride (PACl) compared to aluminium sulphate (alum) and ferric chloride (FeCl3) to remove THM precursors and reduce THM formation potential of two samples (S1 and S2) from a surface water resource with low TOC (<3mg/l), high alkalinity (180 m

Water samples of different origins (Buyukcekmece and Omerli, Istanbul, Turkey, and Alento, Salerno, Italy) were treated by coagulation, ozonation, and coagulation followed by ozonation and photocatalysis. Disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation potential of raw and treated water samples was compar

The occurrence of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water has been an issue of major concern during the last years due to their adverse health effects. The development and optimization of analytical methods for the determination of DBPs in water are key points in order to estimate human ex

A systematic approach was followed to optimise pH, temperature and the doses of FeSO4 and H2O2 for Feton’s reagent (FR) to decolourize and detoxify the solutions containing of Remazol Red 120 (RR) dye and its mixture with Remazol Brillant Blue (RB) and Remazol Yellow 84 (RY) reactive dyes. The acute
