Trends and Contemporary Technologies for Photocatalytic Degradation of Dyes

This book looks at the recent developments in the area of photocatalytic  degradation of dyes using photocatalytic techniques, for example by  means of various nanoparticles, heterogeneous, and hybrid systems. Dyes  are one of the major groups of water pollutants and are widely used in a  diverse range of industries. The toxic effects of organic dyes in  wastewater can have a great environmental impact, therefore there is  significant interest and need to remove these dyes effectively and  efficiently during wastewater treatment.

This volume covers a  plethora of basics on the photochemistry of dyes and provides  information on technological perspectives including reactor designs and  process intensification. Since many industries release a significant  amount of colored effluents, which are toxic and difficult to remove by  conventional methods, the comprehensive studies herein will contribute  to helping reduce the impact of colored effluents in wastewater on the  environment.
